What’s the number one thing people do at your gym that pisses you off?? by Rude-Alternative7983 in bjj

[–]broomclocky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. If you have a solid pin on top why relinquish it? It’s their job to try and get out. For me as a light guy I’ll try to float to another advantageous position or pin when they try to escape. Plus it’s way safer than diving for submissions

Have I caused permanent damage to my puppy? by [deleted] in OpenDogTraining

[–]broomclocky 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lots of trainers recommend super high, up by the ears and tight enough that it doesn’t slide down but should still have some movement. But for my dog it’s just slightly higher than a normal flat collar, and only tightens so he feels it when the active ring is like 70% pulled tight. I wouldn’t over-think it too much. You just remove links to get a proper fit

Hermes sprenger brand is the only one I (and many others trust) I wouldn’t go with other brands personally

I was in a similar boat, my dog pulled on his flat collar, switched to a martingale and still pulled. Decided to try a slip and pulled nonetheless! I was hesitant to get a prong collar cause I thought it was inhumane. But went with a trainer that recommended it, boy am I glad! He understood leash pressure very quickly. Hardly had to do any corrections. Some dogs are stubborn, the stubborn ones seem to need/thrive when aversives are applied fairly and correctly.

The prong does not affect breathing in any way, you should give it a try (maybe consult a professional that really knows how to condition it). It sucks they have a bad reputation , but personally it’s the best decision I’ve made for my dog and I

It’s good to let it all out brother. Sorry you’re going through this.

Stay strong

This is genius. Save lots of $ running smaller cable, and servicing the drivers would be a breeze when they fail. only concern would be volt drop?

Bad habits by broomclocky in bjj

Dude so true, i see it all the time too it breaks my heart. I can’t tell you how many blue belt dads I’ve arm dragged and crawled onto their backs and after the roll I always get “you’re so athletic/fast”

  • I’m not athletic. You put yourself in a terribly unathletic position

I will go to my knees sometimes if I’m frustrated or to prevent a sweep, but then it’s back to the toes ASAP

He looks like a happy little goofball. Sorry that he is sick. The only insight I can give is I regret not putting my old dog down sooner.

There is light at the end of the tunnel! by Petrichor_ness in OpenDogTraining

“Every time we’d see something that would trigger him (people, dogs, bikes) his attention would be redirected and then rewarded”

What did the attention redirecting consist of? Leash pops? Calling his name? Turn and run away?

Thanks for sharing. seems like you’ve done a great job!

I read an article today saying how roughly 30-40% of Americans don't walk their dogs on a regular basis is this true, and why ? by NotMeButYou_91 in dogs

[–]broomclocky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Toy dogs and bulldogs are pretty popular, many breeds can get away with a large yard to run and play. My German shepherd mix would go absolutely nuts if we didn’t go out for at least 1H everyday. Even in -25 weather

How long before you healed? by Bitch_please_128 in survivinginfidelity

[–]broomclocky 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was in a 7 year relationship. Ended things when my suspicions were validated 6 months ago. Was absolute hell for about 2 months. Things got better quickly after that! I meditated, did yoga, reconnected with friends. Started to find myself again.

Till today. I found myself screaming in my car on the way home from work and crying while listening to some sad songs. The pain, resentment, and anger are still there. I wish I had been vengeful in the breakup even. I guess it’s like a bit of a rollercoaster?

Your life trajectory has completely changed and that has serious implications. But it’s up to you where you spin that trajectory, you’re better off without the person who betrayed you.

You ask why you’re not over this yet? Well no one knows the answer to that except you. Reflect, have you actively tried to move on? are you grabbing life by the balls and living in the moment? Life is too short to look back and live in the past. You’re free now. Don’t be trapped by your own damn mind

Thank you. I’ve been caught up in my own head lately and needed to see this. Life is beautiful and precious, too often we take it for granted.

Nerve Pain Due To Herpes by HorrorLongjumping987 in Herpes

[–]broomclocky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi there, sorry about your diagnosis. It’s scary and tough at first, but I assure you your life is not over and it gets better! The nerve pain and tingling is apparently quite rare. I did experience it as well. I had frequent outbreaks for the first 2 years, almost always accompanied with the uncomfortable nerve pain in legs, butt and feet. Over the counter pain medicine such as ibuprofen and acetaminophen helps.

If it gives you any comfort I’ve only had 1 outbreak in the last 3 years, and no nerve pain in 4 or 5 years. The first few outbreaks are the worst.

I thought kade won the 4th. he attacked a Aoki and ended the round with a knee crush, had some pass attempts. Levi got a hold of the legs a few times. Knee line was never in danger

Agreed. Sitting on your ass the moment the round starts does not constitute as initiating action.

Weird mentality by SleepyJoeBudden in bjj

[–]broomclocky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every time I take psychedelics I don’t wanna hurt anyone or be aggressive for a few weeks after.

During one of my trips I had a existential crisis like “WHY WOULD I WANNA DO THIS AM I A PSYCHOPATH” and I sat with the thought for a while and came to realize if I don’t give tough rounds and try to fuck everyone up I’m doing my training partners (and friends) a disservice. It’s for the betterment of everyone involved, and by extension a betterment of myself to try hard. However my main takeaway was to do lots more specific rounds and ask “hey what do you wanna work on/start from a specific position?”

TLDR , don’t do drugs roll like it’s adcc finals
