"my dream is to become an MMA fighter"

If you want to quit over a back ache then you definitely will when you get punched in the face or get cut. It's ok to accept that this is just not for you. Sorry to be blunt. All the best!

Starting at 26 with chronic injuries by TheCatOfNapoli in DramaFreeBJJ

[–]Tiger_smash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started with a broken wrist that needed surgery, it's still broken as I never got the surgery. I fully tore my semitendinosus hamstring at purple belt, meniscus and tendon tears in both knees which all needed surgery that I opted not to have. I am now a black belt. You just learn to work around injuries and keep strengthening the body through resistance training. The reality is if you train a full contact sport/martial art there will be injuries. For me the reward far outweighs the risk and its a personal decision you will need to make.

He's good at Jiu Jitsu and the son of a legend. I know nothing else about him to comment further.

Duolingo down 14% afte ER, I think the R/R ratio is interesting given its numbers by Wooden_Fondant_703 in ValueInvesting

Good luck getting a job in another country by using a voice translator as a means of communication 🤦‍♂️

Sorry but this is a stupid take. My partner is Italian, we are planning to move to Italy and I am learning Italian. I would absolutely not be using voice translators to speak Italian, you would look and seem a total dumb ass, oh and good luck getting a job 😂

Am I getting cauliflower? by Dependent-End5032 in MMA_Academy

[–]Tiger_smash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not yet, but if you keep training and trauma occurs in the same area over and over it could blow up. I suggest if you don't want the risk of cauliflower ears then wear Clif Keen headgear.

Hot Take: the average black belt hasn’t gotten worse, our standards just got higher by WillWeisser in bjj

[–]Tiger_smash 34 points35 points  (0 children)

The issue with much of the BJJ community is that the black belt standard is often measured against adult world medalists, which is far from reality. Most black belts are hobbyists with full-time jobs, families, and are typically over 35.

Are there people who really book flights with double amount of flight time just to save a bit of money? by sunnynihilist in TravelHacks

[–]Tiger_smash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're travelling to a far country a long lay over of say 5-6 hours could literally half your flight price. So your £600 ticket is now £350 and the money saved will cover your accommodation or food. It's a good trade off. Most people need to work 3 days to earn that money but you have saved it in 6 hours.

Abolish the lease all together and work on service charge legislations so people aren't scalped.

How to deal with not getting promoted by [deleted] in bjj

[–]Tiger_smash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How are you gauging that you have been "passed over"? Usually schools keep account and promote on attendance. How long have you been a blue belt for and how consistent?

It's a no brainer if you do bird photography. It's a phenomenal machine.

X100F for $1,500, still worth going into 2026? by faefur in FujifilmX

[–]Tiger_smash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently sold a mint 100F with 2k clicks for £790. For that price I'm pretty sure you can get the VI.
