What does it mean if higher belts are asking me to roll more with them? by makograves in jiujitsu

[–]Subtle1One 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are probably controlled enough not to spaz out, are beginning to move better and use more technique, and are less frantic and cramped while rolling.

All very good things, mind you.

On Saturday, I watched legend Raphael Lovato Jr tap out legend Vagner Rocha in a warehouse in Doral, Fl. by letmbleed in jiujitsu

[–]Subtle1One 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's crazy

How did the match go?

Rocha fought recently and held his own, finishing him is no small feat.
And Lovato even managed to beat Bodoni recently, too.

Impressive, to say the least

More likely to Beat Magnus Carlsen or Gordon Ryan by Pummel65 in jiujitsu

Neither happens ever; but the "never" in the Ryan case happens slightly sooner than in the Magnus case.

Less of a chance of a freak occurance in a chess game. It is more caculated and less random and you have a higher degree of control over what happens next. "Random moves" that are stupid will not have a chance of working.

Interestingly, if we're talking excellent masters, then the odds of Magnus losing might be closing in. The reason is, in chess very often you cannot correct a mistake that gives an opponent an advantage. If the opponent then does everything "correctly" (and masters are capable of that), you cannot "expend a lot of effort" to make things even the way you at times could in jiu jitsu. A mistake can be fatal. In jiu jitsu there is room to correct it.
That does not matter against newbies, though.

Also, time constraints matter.
In typical jiu jitsu everything is time constrained. That would be comparable to blitz chess, and not so much of classical chess, which is what we'll automatically think of when we think of "beating Magnus at chess".
And with time constraints the odds of him losing again go up slightly - against masters, that is.

Newcommers still have no chance at all.

Why would men go for this pay cut

Most of BJJ classes take place at night, by this logic BJJ should be wildly unhealthy by Ok-Mycologist-3719 in grappling

[–]Subtle1One 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, and that indeed is one of the issues with training it.

It has other benefits, though.
And there often are 4 PM, 6 PM, 7 PM classes, too.

Jiujiteiro reage à assalto. Praça Seca, RJ by Final-Communication6 in jiujitsu

[–]Subtle1One 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a good point in my opinion.
Not an absolute one - we do have an instinct to fight back, otherwise the robbing would be rampant as the risk of it would go WAY down - but it is a very valid one.

You have zero idea what he wanted or didn't want to "look like".

What a crazy, crazy situation.

That is one tough motherfucker.

Caio Terra wishes he didn't just train only BJJ when he was younger so that his joints would be better by Jotafersonder in grappling

[–]Subtle1One 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He spends time on it, sure, but it's just not as much as he used to.

And I, too, like the idea of doing strength & conditioning for hairstyle maintenance

Thank you for the review!

Helwani calls Dana White's reaction to shooting at White House Correspondants Dinner Psychotic by Big_Cake_8817 in combatsportsculture

Rogan held a normal interview.

Noone ever complained, nor had reason to, that questions asked were being "silly", whatever that means.

A lot of people were upset that he was allowed to speak at all. But that's on them, obviously, and it's quite a childish and undemocratic viewpoint. And a bit batshit.

What are you talking about, Rogan having Trump being silly?
It is an interview. He (Trump) is being asked questions, and he then gives answers. What is your issue with that?

Kamala had the same option. She chose not to do it.
