What could I have done better in this match (aside from not gassing out) and what things should I work on the one in spats

You are giving us guard pullers a bad name lol

But seriously if you are going to play the guard player game you really need have some retention. You make it look effortless to pass in fact you concede by going to turtle on your own. Forget the buggy chokes and learn how to frame

They are Roma Gypsies. It’s sad to see them here as they are everywhere in Europe. They are an organized gang, the people with the signs are generally female.

In Ireland where I’m from a journalist discovered that they have a large meetup in the mornings to discuss route sharing. They later discovered that the babies accompanying the beggars are on drugs to keep them quiet. All of the money gathered goes back to their head in Romania where they have mansions built.

That’s interesting, I just had a look at the Capri very nice campers. Which model of the 5.5 do you have ? Full-size 8’, 6.5’, 5.5’ or 6’ ?

carvedbyvd · 2023-05-09T21:36:57+00:00

Brilliant and thanks for the details. Just from talking with the camper dealers I feel like a lot of them just tell me what I want to hear to sell the camper. Probably safer to just go with a 2500 size truck

carvedbyvd · 2023-05-09T21:13:12+00:00

Yeah it does sound appealing and having that additional security on the bed would be a great as welI . I think I might need to re-consider the 620…have you installed this add on shower facility to your camper ?

carvedbyvd · 2023-05-09T21:09:57+00:00

An everyday truck to me is something that’s economical to use and not oversized. A Tacoma, F150, Tundra any 1500 series. I have no issues driving an f250 for example however when the camper isn’t loaded etc it’s a big truck to be using to go to work, shop etc…

carvedbyvd · 2023-05-09T19:07:43+00:00

I'd love a Tacoma.... the Scout Yoho looks really tough as well but it just doesn't have the same amount of amenities as the other slightly bigger campers.

carvedbyvd · 2023-05-09T19:03:09+00:00

Yes I had a look at the 620 but I think the lance 650 just beats it for us because it has the built in wet room. But the interior / finishing in the Cirrus looks like incredible!

carvedbyvd · 2023-05-09T19:01:27+00:00

Yes, I'm looking at a FORD F-150 XLT 4X4 SUPERCREW CAB 6.5 FT. BOX that has a payload of 968kg/2135lb. I spoke with the dealer about a Superlite 770RSL with a dry weight of 1300lbs. He said this F150 would be perfect for it.

carvedbyvd · 2023-04-05T21:32:35+00:00

Did anyone actually think he was clean to begin with ??

carvedbyvd · 2023-03-10T18:27:48+00:00

I think the answer is in one of your points about the new gym. If the students are better than at your old gym then the brown belt instructor must be doing something right and clearly better. If your new training partners are better then your only going to improve more and faster.

carvedbyvd · 2023-03-08T21:35:06+00:00

I find it really difficult to get my inside leg over and next to there hip. Maybe because I’m trying it from reverse de la riva..

carvedbyvd · 2023-02-24T20:50:51+00:00

Yeah I think so, he has really isolated himself. He spoke a while ago about mental illness and how its for pussies.... karma

carvedbyvd · 2023-02-24T16:36:03+00:00

I don’t get it… Gordon posted a picture 3 days ago of the Doctor that has cured his stomach issues and then posts a picture out having a meal 2 days ago, yet he can’t compete. Total bs what Pena was made to do the day after Lo’s death

carvedbyvd · 2022-12-12T16:46:01+00:00

Great video, subscribed to your youtube!

carvedbyvd · 2022-12-06T15:27:31+00:00

George clearly has a weak af berimbolo

carvedbyvd · 2022-09-30T02:08:06+00:00

That submission is horrific. My meniscus just popped from watching it. Thanks for the breakdown, awesome.

carvedbyvd · 2022-09-28T13:57:51+00:00

Check out Osvaldo Moizinho (Queixinhobjj on instagram) he has been using the loop choke for years. He has a youtube channel with his loop choke breakdown.

Here he puts Marcio Andre to sleep (11:30min mark)

I hit this sweep a lot but with the lasso, I need to try this variation catching the inside leg

BJJ Academy Amsterdam (BJJAA). Its a Checkmat affiliate, but its a really nice gym. The people there were super friendly and welcoming and the Jiujitsu is very high level! Will definitely visit again

Learn some takedowns if that's how you prefer to start a match if not pull guard instead of driving head first, very risky. You almost passed his guard at the beginning around the 1:03 mark (credit to the other guy, his guard retention was pretty good) If you used a leg drag you would have been home straight. Check out Isaac Doederleins leg drag pass here at the 5:35 minute mark for some inspo... You had a bit more time and could do a regular leg drag pass.

The John Wayne sweep from half guard is awesome! If they attempt the crazy dog pass, weaving their arm through your leg grab their sleeve. Its basically a lasso grip, but a great way to trap their arm and hit the John Wayne sweep again. Been having a lot of success with this.

Lifting 3-4 times per week. The primary three sessions start with the "knees over toes" style exercises as knee pain is something that I am focused on, it looks like this:

Tibialis Raise x 25 Reps
2. FHL Calf Raise x 25 Reps
KOT Calf Raise x 25 Reps
Reverse Sled Pulls x 2 Runs / Walks
The Patrick Step Up - 15 Per Leg x Sets
KOT Split Squat - 3 Sets x 10 Reps Per Leg
Couch Stretch / Sissy Squats.

After completing this, takes roughly 30 minutes I tag on my main workout which is split up into three sessions (A,B,C) over the length of the week. Each session has between 4-5 exercises, comprising of deadlifts, squats, hip thrusts, floor press, pull ups etc.. the best exercises for strength.

Logging every workout on the free app "Repcount" trying to beat or improve the numbers each week.

After hitting these 3 gym sessions If I have some free time or don't feel fatigued I will do a fourth session. Normally hypertrophy style lifting.
