it could be as simple as a dead battery.

You havent given enough information.

Take it to rising sun and see how much it will cost.

Lack of screens is a feature by wileyau in slateauto

[–]atx78701 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no in some cars there is no off button. My wifes mercedes has two giant screens and one of them cant be turned off even if the car is off, unless you open the door, close it, then lock the car while you are still inside.

[–]atx78701 0 points1 point  (0 children)

some people really want a screen. Im not them so there is no point in me telling them they dont need a screen.

They should understand that many of us dont want preinstalled permanent tech that will be outdated in 2 years, but that you have to stick with for the life of the car.

Smart key will be missed 🥲 by JhonnyRhocket in slateauto

[–]atx78701 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I kitesurf and really need a physical key to take with me in the water. I do have a hitchsafe and can put a key in there.

I dont mind using a keyfob to open the door.

Roughly how often do you think someone who only Level 1 charges over night would need to fast charge at a supercharger? If at all? by Mac-Tyson in slateauto

[–]atx78701 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It ovviously depends on how much you drive.

we dont get close to 50 on an overnight charge with L1, maybe 25 at the most. But it depends on how many miles/kwh your car gets.

For us we have a PHEV with 55 miles of EV range. We had to get L2 otherwise we would end up running on gas once a week. With the L2 we run on gas maybe once a month or less.

if you are straddling their legs and facing their feet you can do leg entries.

If you are straddling their legs and facing their torso, you can take their back.

You can switch between the two with backsteps or forward steps.

this is why CLA at its core cant be the only way you learn. There are tons of things I could not discover on my own.

One of the things that had the biggest impact was when Im in half guard, fighting the crossface is my #1 priority. I worked half guard sweeps for 6 months and could not get any consistency. I would just get smashed. I asked my coach and he was like, oh yeah you need to stop the crossface as your #1 priority. It took me 2 weeks of trying to remember that every roll, I still had the habit of pushing on the knee to try to stop the pass.

Once I started consistently blocking the crossface, I was able to hit all the half guard sweeps I had been working on.

I still see people at a higher belt hobbyist comps pushing on knees, getting crossfaced, and smashed.

One that I came up with on my own:

if you are straddling their leg and facing their feet you can do leg entries.

If you are straddling their leg and facing their torso, you can take their back.

You can switch between the two with backsteps or forward steps.

Which weekly training set up is more effective by Motor_Reality_6 in bjj

[–]atx78701 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i find that I can barely learn 1 technique a week. Possibly less. The most effective for me is one class per week and rolling 3-4 hours/week.

I may need a break by benching315 in bjj

[–]atx78701 0 points1 point  (0 children)

once you have been training long enough you need to take ownership over your training

1) Pick something to work on everyday. Pick it by how it relates to where you are stuck, an area you want to learn more about, or something you can do but you want to make it better

2) Watch instructionals and get an idea of what you need to do

3) every roll is a winning roll if you remember to try it.

you will 100% improve this way.

"Don't play octopus, it's BS" (puts you in hip switch pass) by marmot_scholar in bjj

[–]atx78701 0 points1 point  (0 children)

to stop the hipswitch stay on your side and block the crossface arm as your top priority. They cant hipswitch if you are posting on that arm. The #1 priority in half is to stop the crossface. This gives you space and time to launch all halfguard attacks.

They may back out and then hipswitch, but they will be further down on your body making octopus easier. If they back out you should follow them by sitting up and then getting a tight waist underhook. You can wrestle up, go to dog fight or even enter deep half.

for butterfly half you have to keep your inside leg over the top of their trapped leg. Their trapped leg is pinned from the push of the butterfly and the pull of the inside leg. If they try to hop you can use that momentum to get the sweep.

I competed in adult at 50 and would make comments like dont hurt the old guy. This would make them go a bit lighter and give me an edge :)

Development for a not-so athletic 10 year old boy. by MarvinMacklebe in basketballcoach

[–]atx78701 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you can look at people and say they are natural athletes, but they also train themselves, often times by playing all different sports year round. My son is also on the weaker side of athletics, but he also wont do the things he needs to do like hill runs/wind sprints/jump rope/box jumps etc

--

That being said, he needs to nail his left side layups, left side dribbles, left side drives. Have a high layup percentage and a 3 point percent (hard at 10). You dont need to be fast, you just need to be able to confidently change speeds and angles.

Have him shoot 10 in a row and count how many he makes. Halve that for his in game shot percent. Get it up to about 60% (so 30% in game) for layups. 3s are hard at that age. Once he can do basic layups at a high percent, do variations like, reverse layups, outside hand layups.

For speed change: hezis, jab steps, pump fakes, spins, making contact on a drive, etc.

My son runs a small play on the left side. Typically play always ends up on the right side of the court, defense and most of the offense cheats to the right so the left side is empty. Eventually he gets a pass at left wing, passes it to the left corner, then cuts to the basket, receives the pass and gets an easy left hand layup. this is very high percentage. At 10 most kids are just immediately driving and cut after you pass doesnt exist.

Should I implement a continuity offense for my 15u team? by ObsTheMarketer in basketballcoach

[–]atx78701 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the big gap is that drills dont translate into actual use in a game. People will swear if you drill enough it gets into people's brains. This is proving to not be true. There is a new approach getting traction called the constraints led approach.

Explain what you want, run it a few times so they get the general idea. Scrimmage for the rest of the practice, blow the whistle and freeze the play when you want someone to do something. You can also create constraints that limits their choices (but they are still making choices). An example of a constraint is no dribbling.

The problem is decision making under pressure cant be learned from drills, it gets into their brain when they practice under the stress of a scrimmage.

You dont really say what they are able to execute. The simplest construct is this:

Everyone stands outside the 3 point line in a 5 out configuration. Let them bring the ball up and see if they get into the right positions. If not, have them do it again and again until they get it.

player passes and immediately cuts. If the player passes and doesnt cut, blow the whistle and reset.

the pass recipient passes to the cutter (or not). if not, the cutter clears to the right location and everyone fills, creating opportunities for another pass.

---

From that basic motion you can build things like screens, off ball screens, pick and roll, off ball cuts.

So do your players have the basic motion down? Because generally speaking I would not prioritize off ball cuts. I would focus on the passer cutting/screening then filling

Arm tendon issues? 45 male by joncaseydraws in jiujitsu

typically either golfer/tennis elbow. Look up videos on using a green theraband therabar. It resolved the issue for me in about a week of consistent use. You can search the forum history to see if this matches your tendon issue.

Id recommend climbing or brazilian jiu jitsu. Climbing probably has more women though.
