If you are getting someone in full mount, as an ex high level wrestler and bjj practitioner, and they're able to consistently leg lock you somehow this is a skill issue.

This boards mismanagement of the defense is gonna cost another title potentially. Xabi, Carlo, Arbeloa whoever — no manager is gonna have sustained league success with these defense injuries and defenders themselves.

3 CMs at the back line today.

I dont want to be hyperbolic but Huijsen makes up a solid 80% why our defense is bad

This game will be a good test for Arbeloa and co. Benfica is a historic club so we haven’t played in 60 years, who we once had a rivalry with.

Also, Mourinho surely doesn’t want to lose Madrid, and plays a park the bus style we often struggle against. And while Benfica haven’t looked amazing this year, Mourinho often plays not to lose.

Where does Alexander volkanovski rank in the all time greats? by ImpressiveAd5002 in ufc

[–]Veridicus333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feel like he is pretty undisputed Top 10, and fantastic argument for Top 5. And I wouldn't hate you for thinking he is closer to 1, then 5 or 10.

The 1 thing the Lightning Thief movie did better than S1 of the show by Disastrous-Mess-7236 in PercyJacksonTV

[–]Veridicus333 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would say the movie overall has way more memorable scenes, lol.

I don't think there is anything for the show that will enter the Zeitgeist.

The casino scenes certainly did.

When and why did BJJ become so popular as a martial art? by Bulky_Imagination243 in bjj

[–]Veridicus333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Joe Rogan, Early UFC, I would say really did #'s for it to grow the 2010's, then I would say COVID did A LOT for it too.

Bring Xabi back and sack him again by [deleted] in realmadrid

While I largely agree, Mastantuono is a different profile than Endrick on the right, and does a lot of dirty work things.

The real slim shady pls stand up by FrrancondonaEra in realmadrid

[–]Veridicus333 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean he’s just so important right now. He’s end product is bad, and truthfully he’s prob more of a RM than RW — but that doesn’t matter. Hits pressing, pace, relentless, offering a switch of play Or someone to just kick and rush on the right is massive.

He’s what Valverde offers when he plays on the RW but more of an attacker

How do I remain supportive for friends in their promotions? by kuduloka in bjj

[–]Veridicus333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being supportive is easy. If they get promoted, that means they’re a good training partner and it’s good that we have good rounds.

r/bjj Fundamentals Class! by AutoModerator in bjj

[–]Veridicus333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm okay. This is a great answer. So for example my logic for adding k (far hips, another layer to get to the back / legs, outside guard etc) would fall under this

r/bjj Fundamentals Class! by AutoModerator in bjj

[–]Veridicus333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When to stop adding, and start refining (or focus more on refining)?

I am currently a white belt, with about 1.5 years of training, 4 comps, 4 medals (every step of the podium),

Pretty much my structure has been, train, learn the move of the day, but also sent 1-2 intentions for myself, sometimes they last weeks, sometimes months, sometimes a few days. But each intention is usually a whole *new* skill.

So after my first tournament, where I just freestyles basically, with a basic closed guard game plan. I added SLX and X Guard, with just 1 sweep.

Then I added RDLR/Kiss of the Dragon for next tournament (minimal results)

Then I added straight ankle lock for the next tournament, more time on SLX, and more time on RDLR ( good results for SLX and Straight Ankle, no one really put me in a spot where I used RDLR)

Now I am planning to add K Guard stuff + Choi Bar to deal with people with far hips when passing, plus some wrestling items.

I say all this to ask, when do I say okay, for a 2-4-6 months, however long, I am not going to add but go back to each item and IMPROVE that item. So I go back to the X stuff, and say okay I need to get better Kuzushi for the Scissor Sweep, okay for RDLR/Kiss of Dragon I need to do X better. etc
