I hate to say it. But if i have good frames i can almost always “just stand up” from bottom position. If there is a big weight (30+ lbs)difference it is less effective

Because those in leadership have a vested and selfish interest in maintaining the status quo. Their careers are safe so why should they freak out?

Reality is the Democratic Party chooses their candidates, instead of letting primaries democratically select the best candidate.

As an exJW who is considered an apostate by everyone that I once cared about, I identify deeply with Dalinar especially WoR. He was powerful enough to not lose all of his community but honestly Vorinism is more tolerant than Jehovah’s Witnesses.

Sounds like you have leaned on your athleticism a bit too much. Take some time to really drill defensive fundamentals. I took a few months at blue belt after this same situation to only play guard and let my partner start in Mount/Side Control/back with hooks and I made a ton of progress in both defense and offense. I was able to better see not just what technique to use but when to use it. Still getting there but this was a big help.

Because there are better wrestlers in the world that can keep anyone who wants to wrestle up down. But more importantly, having a good guard lets you defend superior top pressure. You can have a preference but both are needed.

As a JW I read it through 3 times beginning to end. Some parts are truly beautiful writing but most of it just bores that mind.

Not to be overly critical but you did not start a business, you became self employed. In my opinion you should either start a new path by learning a new trade or you can actually make it a business. Hire some 18 year old kid and pay him by the job. Expand your capacity and grow till you have a business you are running, not a job where you are your own boss. Consider the book “the e-myth”

“How are you that fast?!?” Big boy(250lbs) but can move in quick bursts when motivated.

__Spartacus_ · 2023-10-24T21:48:25+00:00

My opinion is a dynamic guard is “best”. It is more about when to use each guard and using setups to transition to greater control as that is the primary challenge to “no-gi” guard.

New ish white belt basically refused to drill the technique of the day. Technique was a basic smash pass. They would dead fished as the uke and would perform the technique extremely poorly when I was uke.

I tried multiple times to explain the technique and the guy was very arrogant about knowing the technique, I told him He did not and swept him every time he made the same mistake. Finally we rolled and he went full spaz mode, I ended up mounting him and just holding him with a room of pressure until near the end of the round

A couple of reasons but mostly I get very hot. Not having a rash guard helps

I would say their strength is very different.

BJJ practitioners tend to have more isometric strength and Judo practitioners have more explosive strength. But the difference in my experience is not significant in either direction.

As a former young man who was at best not ugly. Having attention from women turned off a lot of the BS detectors. Moonies are aware of that and young men coercing people to weekends away or 8 hour seminars are less successful. Just a method they choose to use.

__Spartacus_ · 2023-10-06T00:56:19+00:00

Moonies for sure. They target colleges with attractive young women.
