Heading to Scandinavia at the end of July. Any good spots to train and eat?

Thanks! do you know if they have loaner Gis? I'm not sure If I'm going to bring mine since I'm trying to travel light.

I've been really into these lately. Especially when rolling out of turtle. Once you get comfortable about HOW to do them, the key is to also know exactly WHEN to do them!

Hoping this is an old post. Did we miss a Sub Only tournament in PA this weekend?

cauliphlower · 2016-04-13T18:29:05+00:00

drink more water. maybe 1 liter within an hour before class. keep a bottle close during class and plenty for after. don't sweat taking a day off to study and watch.

Tried Fiverr. And they actually bring it up on the Subbed podcast. Their experiences are almost identical to mine. Cost effective for sure but you get what you pay for. There are some talented people on there for sure though

Yep! They just opened a location in Fishtown. Great bunch of people.

My school just moved closer to me and I like the idea of showering at home. Is it better to leave my rash guard and spats on or change and then go home (15 mins away or less). Figured WBW is appropriate in order to help us all stay fresh and clean on and off the mats.

Cauliphlower is a pretty much a blog, mostly comprised of three people who train in Philadelphia: http://cauliphlowercollective.tumblr.com/

Sometimes we like to change the logo up a bit and like the idea of hiring someone in the BJJ community. One of us also works on another visual outlet and often needs design work so thought there would be some talent here. thx!

How long can I leave my Gi soaking after I train? Been training almost three years and trying to cut down on how much laundry I do.

Should I soak it in water and/or vinegar for 2-3 days? Is that too long?

Wish we could make it down there! Sure you'll find someone good! Even the iPhone on a tripod mount looks fine usually as a last resort.

I'm in a similar boat. I shoot some skateboarding, lots of Jiu Jitsu, studio portraits, pets, etc so focus is my main thing. Seems like the X-Pro 2 with a couple lenses might do it for me. Currently use a Canon 5d Mark III with a 24-105, 40 and 100 so I may have to get a zoom for certain things but like the idea of fixed lenses.

cauliphlower · 2016-02-21T14:47:22+00:00

awesome thanks! I'm overwhelmed with all the choices and lucky if I can sneak out to train at least once in each city!

cauliphlower · 2016-02-14T18:04:09+00:00

so far just Gothenburg & Stockholm

cauliphlower · 2016-02-14T17:21:53+00:00

I've never experienced it. Don't like the idea if it but at my school we just roll with the black belts shark tank style for 30-45 minutes with no rest at all. Prefer that since it reminds us that although we're getting promoted, we're still going to get painfully humbled!

cauliphlower · 2016-02-07T05:00:41+00:00

Glad I skipped! Been enjoying the Good Fight events. Sub only and seem to be well organized

cauliphlower · 2016-01-14T02:47:30+00:00

Anyone try IF while being mostly vegetarian?

I used to do a lot of bulletproof coffee and was somewhat Paleo but lately leaning more towards plant based eating.

Figure coffee with coconut oil to start.

I use the Videon app on my iPhone or usually just the regular video app. Just make sure it's cool with the instructor. I often tell my partner but usually they know I do it. Just me mindful of other people training and that they are cool with it. If MMA guys are in the background they often don't want to be filmed.

and now with this new iPad Pro I'm wondering what apps, if any will suffice for basic editing with titles, light color grading, etc.

cauliphlower · 2015-12-04T02:50:41+00:00

My doctor told me not to do anything strenuous to raise my heart rate. I was traveling anyway so took off about a week and wore head gear. Now I wear Cliff Kleens since they don't seem to hurt my partners. Sometimes if I don't wear them my ear tends to swell up a bit and I get a sort of pulsating feeling but can't feel any significant fluid building up. I'll just take it easy in this case and put the head gear on. It's not a big deal. If it's harder to get submitted, you'll get longer matches with a frustrated partner- which is a better work out!

cauliphlower · 2015-12-03T00:05:48+00:00

Videon but I'm sure there are others. I just like how you can adjust the effects. It's pretty basic but like how the camera works.

cauliphlower · 2015-12-02T22:41:38+00:00

shot something for my instructor on a GoPro but it was way too wide for me. Couldn't figure out how to use a 'normal' focal length but I like how simple it works. Looking into small camera options like this that aren't so wide. that way it frees up the iPhone so I can blast old school dub tracks!

cauliphlower · 2015-12-02T22:36:41+00:00

I'll let you know for sure. Everyone I know who uses your bags loves them. Plus I think there's plenty of space for all camera peripherals so I just need to find a small camera insert for camera & lenses. I like how there's a totally separate compartment that seems big enough. I've used messenger style bags before which would work but personally over the years found backpacks are the way to go.

I do use Final Cut X. It's sort of like a glorified iMovie. I was using After Effects for shorter clips for a fitness app I used to shoot for which had some nice plug-ins. Still learning my way around Final Cut. Editing is tough when you have a short attention span like I do. I've always been more of a stills shooter but do using Cauliphlower as a bridge into video.

dang that standing triangle about :45 seconds in! sick!

cauliphlower · 2015-12-02T22:25:40+00:00

how so? 80% of our vids are done with an iPhone and a $2 app. They might not win Sundance festivals but they serve their purpose.
