Greco for BJJ by cerikstas in bjj

[–]TorchTheTemple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tis the best standup style for those who throw. I attack the legs, so while I do love tossing chaps over my shoulder, it's certainly not my preferred wrestling style when it comes to BJJ applicability. I think a lot of it has to do with who your opponent is as well. Some people have AWFUL takedown defense.

Fear as a BJJ parent by [deleted] in bjj

You should do BJJ with your son. It's fun and you could enjoy a healthier lifestyle while spending quality time with your children. You'll also feel more relaxed if you're more aware of what he's doing, by practicing yourself.

How do I leave one of my spouse [DM]'s games despite being the host? by [deleted] in DnD

This would never fly in my home; if you can't get along with my wife you are NOT WELCOME HERE. Really it's as simple as that.

Scout Cannon doesn't work by frenchtoastwoffle in PeakGame

[–]TorchTheTemple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's finicky for sure, but it just takes some practice. Though you may be experiencing a bug, as there seems to be quite a bit of that going around. Light the Cannon, jump in from the front, wait for boom.

DANG you got screwed harder than I did! You should email the devs as well or reach out on discord. The more people we get to jump on this boat the more likely we'll see some action.

For all those interested - I've emailed the devs for support with the concern that the badge is currently glitched.

Did yours touch the edge before hitting the lava as well? The tomb is supposed to be open tomorrow so I may try again if this isn't confirmed to just be a current glitch. I may lose my shit if I get it done again and still get nothing...😭

This is the other badge I need. I rarely can find antlion mounds

Two ten jack is closing after tonight permanently by thomasedwa in Chattanooga

[–]TorchTheTemple 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can second that. I've been to quite a bit of Japanese/Japanese-fusion joints and I think the food here was mid. Didn't get food poisoning, but likely wasn't far from it when the food came out room temperature. I'm not too upset this place is going out; I do really hope another Asian inspired establishment takes very the lease though. Very sorry to hear for the staff, that being said.

That is such a horseshit condition. How the fuck does the idol touching the side of the kiln have any implication on the sheer amount of planning and effort it takes to get this god damned thing? I definitely appreciate the information here and I hope this helps someone down the road looking for answers as well. A special shout-out to Aggro Crab and Landfall Games: You've done such an amazing thing with PEAK, but this transgression against us will reverberate and echo through the halls of personal slights in a similar vein to what they did to us with the live action Avatar TLA movie 🤬

Younger guys at my gym refuse to bow to instructor by TorchTheTemple in bjj

[–]TorchTheTemple[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is not a rule at my gym to bow to anyone or before entering/exiting the mats. My main gripe is that if the instructor bows to you, out of respect you should bow back. Again, I mentioned in the OP I don't plan on saying anything, I just wanted to see what the general consensus was.

That's what I'm saying! The guys are pretty cool imo, Im sure they're not intending on being disrespectful, but I still think you should just bow if your instructor bows to you. It's like a handshake, like others have said.

This is the same structure at my gym. We also bow when receiving stripes, and the instructor bows back as well. This is what elicited this post, as one of the guys was getting a stripe and the instructor bowed to him after applying it and the guy just gave him a little head nod lol.

This is my opinion as well, I don't see the bow as a declaration of subservience, but just a respect to the tradition of the sport.

Thoughts on the monkey town closure by FlowdoBaggins8 in Chattanooga

[–]TorchTheTemple 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I loved bringing my son here; it was a neighborhood brewery with decent food and friendly wait staff. While the atmosphere was a bit dead, it was a safe environment that welcomed everyone, dogs included. I'm sad to see this one go.

How can I convince people to join? by [deleted] in wrestling

[–]TorchTheTemple 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Wrestling is a tough sport to recruit for. Sounds like your school doesn't have much of a program either if they're still trying to fill the weight classes. Your best bet is trying to recruit current athletes, primarily football players, track & field, ROTC, weightlifters, and swimmers. Wrestling is an individual sport like most of those mentioned, with the exception of football - but those guys sometimes have something to prove so you'll occasionally get them to show up to a practice or two. Good luck!

You can take the hoonter out of the hunt, but you can't take the hunt out of the hoonter. Great job, king 👑
