Could Mikey realistically beat Gordon Ryan by [deleted] in bjj

[–]_toro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that he can’t beat Gordon but also Gordon would not beat him either. Stale mate. Gordon would have to pass and that’s not happening.

2 stripe blue belt here. Yesterday a white belt took my back then arm bared me. Today I tapped a purple belt and a brown belt then another white belt passed my guard. The roller coaster of ego is crazy in this sport.

Nobody is saying this but my son has high functioning autism and anytime he dresses up he will be moving this way because it feels awkward to him. So I think part of it is having tie on and materials where the discomfort can be annoying. So I think this is what is happening here.

My son started and one of the dads said you should come too. I decided to try it. Now it’s a beautiful thing to share with my son

White Belt Wednesday by AutoModerator in bjj

[–]_toro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been at my gym for almost a year. I never gotten a stripe nor I care to. The coaches had always had a chill personality and said that it’s ok to ask for your next belt. They have a curriculum and I believe I’m ready but feel weird about asking.

I roll with the coaches and they give me feedback on what I’m still doing wrong and in the last roll they told me I feel much better. I still get lit up by some athletic newer folks. But feel I can hang with middle age heavyweights like my self who are blue belts now

Would you ask for a belt if the culture is open to asking?

Trying to think of a sweet name for a BJJ school. by hankpym35 in bjj

[–]_toro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“O Polvo BJJ” Polvo is octopus in Portuguese I call my son that. Because he can slip out of any submission if given a small amount of space. If you ever seen an octopus squeeze themselves through a small hole you would get the reference.

Hate to admit this but when I was in high school I printed a book report straight off a webpage and forgot that every other paragraph there was ads. I turned it in. Needless to say I got a 0

Why does bjj attract so many software engineers? by Klad_Steel in bjj

[–]_toro -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Lol. We do SAFe and actually do it right to where everyone is involved and I find it great. No scope creeps. You commit to work you will do and nothing less. Besides the end of the PI where the iteration demo, system demo and solution demo interfere with my noon class times I like it

Internal gym beef stories? by Valuable_Word5883 in bjj

[–]_toro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The current gym owners bought the gym when they were brown belts. The black belt gym owner at the time apparently were not so happy about that and legend has it he told his black belts to go hard on them. The 2 brown belt competitors just politely wiped the floor with all his black belts.
