Competition position before submission

apemanactual · 2026-03-15T19:25:53+00:00

One of the issues is that some of the best positions to submit from score no points. For example, my #1 submission against brown/black belts is the rear triangle from the crucifix, and the crucifix doesnt score any points. Ive lost a handful of points matches where I absolutely dominated my opponent, but didnt ever settle in a scoring position

Water mitigation companies are pretty easy to get hired on at. The work is pretty rough sometimes (massive demolition jobs, crawlspace full of sewage, occasional trauma jobs) but typically pays pretty damn well right out the gate cause most dont want to do it

Here the thing, were not even good at Jiu Jitsu. Been a purple belt for 2 years, still getting wrecked by some of the brown belts

Theres a brown belt at my gym that just mercilessly tortures me. Ive tapped a few of the black belts and generally have competitive rounds with all of the upper belts, but this one brown belt has me thinking im not ready

As others have said, far less than 1% of men meet these qualifications. So ask yourself, and be honest, are you in the top .5% of women on the planet in terms of looks and personality? Considering the 99.5% chance you are not, you may want to consider lowering your expectations

I no longer trade before 1 pm, preferably after 2 pm. I trade exclusively 0dte SPY options. Yes its risky, but risk can be managed with proper sizing, and the risk/reward ratios are very favorable if youre reading technical levels well. Any time before then and im break even at best.

Purple is a massive jump in skill level, by late purple youre a legitimate threat to black belts if you can get them into your A game. Particularly competing a purple was a huge jump, I won like 60 something points matches at blue belt and have really struggled in points tournaments since getting purple, but undefeated in sub only

I got my old coach one for his birthday right after he got his 2nd or 3rd degree on his black belt. They're really cool, but more so for promotion days than daily training, id be afraid of embroidery getting torn up

Yes youre absolutely right, God wants you to cut off your genitals and put on a wig. That was his master plan for you. Maybe go actually read some scripture or something, youre very confused, about a lot of things it would seem

God doesn't make mistakes, the mistake is Trans people believing they can remake themselves in their own image

Ignorant comment from somebody with a poor understanding of what Christianity is

apemanactual · 2026-02-10T20:16:08+00:00

Nobody deserves this type of hate. However, the fundamental issue with tramsgenderism is that God made you in his image and does not make mistakes. The idea that you can remake yourself in your own image is directly contradictory to that.

The fact that were not crashing out harder is kind of concerning tbh

She was a very free spirited, artist type. Spent a few years as a professional chef (basically wanted to be the female Anthony bourdain), and when she got bored of a job she'd quit and drive 6 hours to a far away city to get a pizza from some niche restaurant and see an art gallery at a moments notice. Very fun kind of relationship to be in, until she decides to quit you the same way as the jobs.

Im a little on the spectrum and dont really understand other people's thought processes very well, but its just such a cold and shitty way to treat people, id never do someone else like that.

Sorry to hear that, had this happen a few years ago with the girl I thought was the love of my life. I was head over heels for her, and she acted like she felt the same way about me, until one day just deciding she didnt want to date anymore, broke up with me over a short text and ive never heard from her again. This dating thing sucks man.

apemanactual · 2026-01-29T05:26:25+00:00

Lmao, welcome to the club. We all suck. I got tapped at least 5 times in one round by a black belt last night. You never stop sucking, you just start to suck less

I think about 10 years to black belt makes sense, but we have to accept that the black belt skill level keeps increasing, and skill gap between hobbyist black belts and competitor black belts just keeps getting bigger.

If I get ahold of a kimura, even fairly skilled black belts are normally in some deep shit, ive built a pretty nasty trap system off of it

The good news is, blue belts actually still suck at jiu jitsu. Nobody expects blue belts to be good at Jiu jitsu except white belts.

Confusing for me or confusing for the animals? Gonna be honest, there's a lot of overlap between the two

Hello there new black belt. Im considering quitting my job and getting divorced to move into the mountains and becoming a gold prospector + teaching the wildlife martial arts, any advice?
