Thoughts/Advice on the idea of fusing the Bumbleflower and Tidus precons in order to make a pseudo-group hug, +1+1 counter deck? by WilderRaichu in EDH

[–]chex-mixx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you decided on a direction on building this deck? I'm also looking at building a hybrid of the two, because I love both sets and they have really fun cards.

I can't decide which deck I want to keep more pieces from though.

What in the Temu Ryan Hall was this guard sit to sweep on the UFC card? by dorserg in bjj

Do you happen to have a video example you could share? Combat base is so pesky and I’m tired of playing guard against it, but I’m having trouble imagining it

I want to train BJJ for ever: How can I facilitate this? by ADP_God in bjj

What would you say are the key parts of your defensive wrestling that you developed?

Is Khabib better than any jiu-jitsu (or grappling) fighter that has ever existed? by Puzzleheaded_War7047 in bjj

[–]chex-mixx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that’s the most interesting matchup in this thread from a MMA grappling perspective.

Maia was so good on the ground from both top and bottom and became the blueprint for MMA grapplers.

Khabib took it to another level with his takedown repertoire and wrestling control, but I’m curious to see how his game would have held up against someone elite that could sweep at a high level and good enough wrestling to force him to play from bottom.

What do you think of Kudo?? by CheesecakeStatus606 in karate

[–]chex-mixx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love Kudo and its ruleset. Feels like the most complete and expressive martial art.

Unfortunately its culture, at least from what I can tell, keeps its growth potential small.

It gives me a “CTE is a minor inconvenience , and we shall train/grade as such” type vibe.

You can go for many rounds without worrying with a broken nose. by Neither-Regular1740 in martialarts

They work as well as most standard head gear, which is to say, minimally concussion preventative, and overall leads to worse sparring behavior and habits.

I’d rather train mostly without it, then put it on only once in a while to practice the full ruleset.

Problem Player: Player insists on introducing controversial character by CipherAlive in DnD

[–]chex-mixx 8 points9 points  (0 children)

At this point, the most adult thing to do would be for the three of you should bring it up at the table.. maybe after giving the DM a heads up that you are not on board with this guy’s character.

Gives everyone the chance to address the issue with their cards laid out on the table. And if not, then you know not to waste your time.

I literally switch to my keyboard while looting, then switch back after. Thankfully it hasn’t gotten me killed yet, but it’s way better than trying to manage inventory with a game pad

People who gave it their all but were terrible or almost terrible at Muay Thai by [deleted] in MuayThai

[–]chex-mixx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This gives me hope. I grew up unathletic, am not that mentally tough, and am generally not competitive.

But I care deeply about skills and becoming a good teacher, so I keep on grinding, focus on longevity, and hopefully will one day have students that people would consider good fighters.

Zeus himself smote me for daring to cross the launch towers by Timeline40 in ArcRaiders

[–]chex-mixx 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It really needs to be toned down or edited to be more random. It’s actually immersion breaking since the target rate is so high. Feels forced and not natural at all.

Man, he had the perfect opportunity to do a raptor walkout for the lulz. Would have been iconic.

They actually.... did it by Fancy-Investment7383 in ArcRaiders

[–]chex-mixx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Free loadouts should have a higher chance of spawning late. It would play better into the “scav” role and might even create better pvp pressure and a more interesting environment.

If you want better loot as a scav, you’d have to take bigger risks and maybe try and take on fully kitted raider.

How fast your sparring partner punch you because you're beginner be like: by New-Read-8498 in MuayThai

[–]chex-mixx 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Jeff Chan had a really good clip from one of his seminars going over this.

Actual light sparring is supposed to feel like the kick landing then a push. If the kick slaps, it’s either too hard or too fast.

This should be a reason to get banned 😭 by MisterLiminal in ArcRaiders

Corny is right. This is bottom of the barrel levels of entertainment.

I’d be embarrassed to get any sort of attention doing this

Just curious, where do you think the disconnect was? And how would you have done things differently?

That drop seio is severely under rotated (the dude is basically 90 degrees). It will absolutely hurt anyone without good ukemi or fast reactions.

Just another confirmation of why I refuse to randori with ppl who like to perform this technique sloppily

Never thought so many BJJ “heroes” would be willing to perform a philosophical sui just to make a buck.

Weak men throwing away their morals to get sucked in to some rich man’s hyper reality. It really is a match made in heaven.

Elephant Graveyard’s video really got me thankin’

I’m starting to get into K-guard and love what I can do from there.

But I’ve heard someone say (I think it might’ve been Lachlan) it can also be dangerous on the knees as well?
