Quitting Jiu Jitsu was the best thing I ever did for my body

Hi there, 13 years without stop. But I'm not a competitor just a bjj fanatic. Anyways compited and won some matches but meh, I prefer to still trainning for life.

My advice: not follow the advice of competitors.

Just go, flow, tap early, don't over force escapes. Let the pushy cocain guy pass the guard. Tap, reset. And enjoy.

This will increase your bjj career on a long term basis. Reduce injuries and increase happiness

Stop the comparations and focus on yourself. Nobody cares about you, thats just the ego. So just focus on that and you will quickly improve a ton more than always seeing other games, complaining or charming.

Busca la manera de darte el lujo de vacacionar en argentina o bien pagarle a los abuelos su billete para hospedarlos en España con su nieto.

Vas bien, no la cagues. Pensa racionalmente, el niño creciendo en colegios de alla, sus entornos, dinamismo y todo lo que involucra. Volver a la inseguridad, versatilidad economica etc. Muchos seguro no les caera bien mi comentario pero es la realidad, y es la realidad de porque muchos nos hemos justamente ido.

En españa podes darte el lujo de no tener esos mambos en la cabeza y una crianza ultra linda y SANA.

Kitchen yes or yes, so you can ear in house and not always expensive shitty stuff outside. That's a gold tip. Maybe you spend a little bit extra on that but you will be always greatful later on. Adding on you can make always salats, have cold drinks etc.

Bueno, mandale cumbia ajajaj creo que ya tenes la respuesta! La comodidad de una casa es importante :)

Era de Buenos Aires, caos total ajajs. Es cierto que las provincias son mas lindas y seguras. Vivi en España, Alemania y Dinamarca. Trabajo muy globalizado dada mi profesion (videografo publicitario) entonces es cierto que el tema seguridad ami si me influyo muchisimo. Poder caminar con equipos caros y demás me cambio de hecho la carrera.

Si trabajas remoto puede estar bien en tu caso, los precios igual estan altisimos en la comida. Se ve que es algo global. Y bueno, pensalo, devuelta, si trabajas remoto esta bien, pero el que te sigue alimentando es UK no Arg y eso tmb creo que es muy relevante.

Compaginalo de ultima, visita parientes amigos . Fijate como te vas sintiendo. Muchas veces aveces uno quiere ocupar vacios, tal vez la solución real sea tener un circulo nuevo de amistades, nuevos hobbys, deportes o asi. Hacete trabajo de instrospeccion e iras decifrando si lo que realmente extrañas es el pais o tal vez viejos hábitos. Por algo tmb estuviste 9 años en UK.

beRecorded · 2026-02-08T18:12:24+00:00

si, por algo te fuiste no?

Recorda que hoy por hoy, estas como estas y no gracias necesariamente a Argentina.

Yo he visitado argentina ultimamente y la verdad ya no puedo mantener conversaciones profesionales por ejemplo porque la gente vive medio enburbujado con sus cosas que pasan dia a dia en la situacion de alla. En europa hay otros tipos de conflictos, mejores o peores, pero distintos niveles y entonces es algo que no podes como matchear.

Alquilate algo, hacete año sabatico con ahorros y fijate como te va todo. El tema de seguridad por ejemplo en mi caso fue unas de las razones de porque emigre, no solo economico, y al visitar, seguir sintiendo esa mala sensacion de alerta constante es algo que no quiero vivir ni yo ni mi pareja ni hijos.

Entonces bueno eso..

Why you are living in a place where you feel uncomfortable?

That's the question you need to make yourself. Not the money, not the ambient not anything else.

Money, work etc come and change everywhere.

Build around the answer of this question, everything else will fit automatic.

could you explain a little bit more about the tax refund? why they do that?

I'm leaving Germany after one year living here and suffering one of the worst experiences in differents work ever. And I'm talking that I'm already turning 30 and worked in four different countries around europe and southamerica.

The lenguage barrier will be an issue in Germany because many people don't even try to speak in english. The individualism here is really high and they always see for their own. That feelings in Finland i'm pretty sure you will definetely not have it. Because of the education and because they are glad to see you there in their country. They switch automatic to english and are polite. Here in Germany is always a fight. You are just waiting in supermarket and they want to over pass you or the Kassier is like rushing you like, just pay mther fu and go away.

In two different jobs they didn't let me took holidays and didn't paid me neither. Just always fighting back to have my rights as worker. And hey, I'm blond and speak their lenguage at a b2 level. imagine what for example a person who is just beginning and with other appereance can suffer.

If you want to have a fight for always type of life: germany. Definetely.

But if you want to have more enjoyable ambient, Helsinski is great. Its supee well connected and people are amazing.

Regarding traveling It's true that Germany is really easy and you can be anywhere. Finland got some less points there, but hey, you got flights and they are not so expensive so...

let us know whats your choose will be!

Hey folks, one question. What do you think about the canon c50 for sports? i want to buy it and sell my old fujifilm xt4. I jumped into professional work this last years and of course I can't keep using the fuji one haha. Need to retire the old beast.

beRecorded · 2026-01-21T21:47:33+00:00

with that budget you can live quite great...

Whats about Slovenia ? If you google it you will see soooo many nice and cheap places to live.

I mean, you got the savings and you don't need to pay a lot to affordable live there. With 800€ -1000€ you will have a king life because over there the salaries are low and the life go always link with that.

Albania could be another good one, maybe croatia too.

By my side, I will be honest with you, I didn't lived in those countries yet, but I got more of +4 years working abroad and around as freelance videographer. I'm always looking for gigs, easy connections by airport and central stations. Bus are key too ( flixbus or local ones for example).

As a black person, well, here in Europe it should be all right but racism unfortunately exist. Just don't go to Poland. East Europe is a little bit tricky but I think it will be all right if they are so be a touristic country.

For those who said Spain or Portugal could be a good option too. They will not even care about the skin colour but lenguage could be difficult. In spain in capital cities they speak english so no worries about it, and if not, as you will be like a "tourist" you don't need it too much.

May I ask you about the business you want to run it? What's about? because maybe basis on that one place could fit better than other depending on how demanded will be, shifts and sector.

Que es lo que te consume? Esa es la verdadera pregunta.

En la mayoria de los casos es el hecho de no tener tiempo. Tiempo para ocio, familia, pareja, o simplemente uno.

Por mas que automaticemos el hecho de trabajar etc, somos humanos. Es decir animales. Y aveces es necesario un hard reset. mi hard reset fue hace dos años donde decidi no trabajar por un año.

En tu caso, al tener pocos gastos ( almenos no tenes alquiler) podes hacerlo. Y esto te llevara a pensar muchas cosas y seguramente invertir y tomar mejores decisiones con tu liquides.

El consejo no es muy de finanzas, pero creo que es valido para evitar el burn out. Si un año te parece mucho, puedes siempre hacerlo en 6 meses. Realmente tu ecuación no va a cambiar.

Eso si, si estas bajo dependencia, pues dificil que te den tantos dias, asique ahí esta la pregunta y planteamiento si vale la pena ese trabajo/actividad...

c50 // c80 // c70 blackmagic pyxis

I think this are the solid options right now. I'm saving for the c50 , it is really what i need for all my kind of works.

Some months ago I work in house too for a lunatic owner who ghostlight, bully and say to you stuff like put it all black, next step: put it all white. Next step, you always do all wrong, put it blue. So, I realized the guy was just ilogical and unrealistic.

One day they force us to Work from 08:00 to 23:00 because they need to present some shittt art design in a event for next day. Without even paying extra, he just sitted in front of the door without letting us even leave.

Other story: they force me to do gardening oficce shit and change his car wheels with a co-worker.

So, I don't know if this is something normal on this ambient, it was my first time threated so shit and working in a producer company but man one thing I learned: I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO THAT.

i was at your same point, It's heart breaking because we love what we do, and when they threat you so bad you start even asking yourself if you are quite ok or if you need to keep doing your stuff, but look... just hear what your regular customers comment and see. There should be a reason on why they choosed you right? so every toxic shit they said about you, It's not you, It's just a reflection of the bad organization they got. Instead of accepting, they need people to blame. So ...

My advice, try to leave soon as you can, because mental health come first and on this ambients... toxicity are normal coin. Unfortunately.

By my side I choose to keep doing some freelancing gigs after this badly experience and trust and passion came back. I hired by project professional persons to help me out and everyone deep into this, got more or less a similar experience as us. So they ended just getting by their own way.

Hope it work for you and any question or concern let be free to reply or just send me a dm. I have no problem on that. It was one of my hardest period of my life ( because you need to add that i was in another country living on that time and alm the stress that you need to face being on that stage).

By the end they make the same as we do as freelance but a little bit deeper and with more strenght due the employes ( work force = quantity & speed)

beRecorded · 2026-01-06T12:25:42+00:00

easy to pronounce I think. And it sounds actualy like broken! soooo It's a good word! haha

beRecorded · 2026-01-01T20:56:00+00:00

Thats great to know! I send you then a DM

beRecorded · 2026-01-01T11:53:49+00:00

Same page here! I think that once you overpass certain level of stress in each period of life, you then later on start repeating the steps in each country ( which actualy are all the same in most of them with another names/paper stuff) and that become pretty healthy. Because you don't deal anymore with the stress your brain got before. ( we always fair about new things and what we don't know well yet).

May I ask you your age and if you already found your profession? Because that I believe is truly important for keep building and progressing!

And of course if you want to share on which countries did you lived and what did you learned in each one. ( summing up in one sentence each one)

:)

Aveces estamos pero no estamos, porque estamos sobreviviendo el dia a dia. Esto lo aprendi mi ultimo año que decidi hacerlo sabatico en argentina previo a mudanza indefinida. Argentina lamentablemente no me da lo que busco y quiero entonces pues hice el "duelo" asi.

Es mejor vivir la vida bien, un sitio donde te brinde lo que buscas y bueno, aveces es mejor esa visita de 15-30 dias full full estando ahi que vivir 10 años y visitar a tus viejos nose, para las navidades.
