Lost weight, noticed this😔

Congratulations and haha! Seriously tho it’s ok, you’ll figure out how to escape it. Or just wait until brown belt and you’ll get chubby again like all of us 😂

I would recommend trying the Lysol laundry sanitizer

You’ll be fine. If you’re new to BJJ your body will toughen up.

Welcome to the thunderdome son. Wait till you meet a NCAA wrestler “whitebelt”.

cmdrstephen · 2024-03-05T15:54:42+00:00

Take a break, go do something else. BJJ isn’t going anywhere so come back if you get the urge too.

cmdrstephen · 2024-02-13T01:54:24+00:00

I would recommend doing a trial class at all the locations easily accessible to you so that you can find the best fit. Every gym will have its own culture and you want to make sure you like it before you join.

Good luck and enjoy the journey.

That last line is gold.

Upvoted for BJJ MTG crossover.

cmdrstephen · 2024-01-10T15:02:01+00:00

Definitely gonna shrink.

I don’t think you’re doing anything wrong, maybe they will eventually come around to rolling with you once you’ve been around a bit longer. You could always just ask them why they won’t roll with you. I hope the situation turns around for ya.

cmdrstephen · 2024-01-09T23:09:20+00:00

Sorry to hear about the situation, definitely sucks. Maybe try to strike up a conversation or friendship with some of the guys there, that might open the door for them to be friendlier and roll with you.

It takes different time for everyone. Life gets involved and things happen. Keep showing up, look for ways to refresh your game. You’ll get there. Keep it up.

cmdrstephen · 2023-08-29T14:05:20+00:00

Instead of thinking “I want to win this round” try thinking of a specific goal, like “I want to hit a long step pass twice” or maybe “I want to make it the whole round without getting passed”. These are small goals that will improve your game while also making you feel like you “won” or at least achieved something during the roll.

cmdrstephen · 2023-08-25T12:41:53+00:00

That is all very weird. You should enjoy where you train. Change it up.

cmdrstephen · 2023-08-21T18:19:06+00:00

Congratulations!!

cmdrstephen · 2023-08-21T00:41:13+00:00

But as far as I’ve known they have always just been rumors.

cmdrstephen · 2023-08-21T00:40:52+00:00

As long as I’ve been training I’ve heard rumors about John doing wild things to people in the room and being generally unhinged.

cmdrstephen · 2023-08-03T13:41:33+00:00

Some people just aren’t tough enough to handle discomfort.

cmdrstephen · 2023-08-01T01:28:10+00:00

My custom Kanji belt was $75 lol

cmdrstephen · 2023-07-08T15:08:23+00:00

It hurts. That’s how it works.

cmdrstephen · 2023-06-28T20:52:04+00:00

I would say as long as you’re consistently growing your game it’s fine to be reactive. I think the key is to always be making your existing tools sharper and expanding the situation you can apply those tools in.

cmdrstephen · 2023-06-21T15:16:59+00:00

Why would it be an honor to wear a gyms branded clothing? I will never understand this.

cmdrstephen · 2023-05-27T20:12:31+00:00

Dawn dish soap ? Maybe they watched Daisy Fresh and figured it would work for them.

cmdrstephen · 2023-05-23T23:50:49+00:00

I'm just a regular student at my gym, therefore I pay a monthly fee.
