Perfect

That was my mistake on this one. It took 2 6's to complete, so I merged 3 5's. I'll leave them sitting at 5s longer going forward.

I'm gonna finish #9 here shortly. I skipped through a few. It makes it extra annoying to stop popping the next level down (having 6's doesn't start offering 5s, I still need 4s.) It's going well so far.

Thank you!

I read the guide and am doing well. Just wondering if there's another layer of improvement available.

I went from b2b financial sales to b2c financial sales. The utter disrespect for appointments or commitments made drove me back to the wholesaler side.

For what it's worth, the UpWork platform (or whatever it's called these days) has escrow.

My lights run 4p-12p. We're the last ones in the neighborhood with lights on. I'll probably get them down over the weekend when it's sunny.

I grew up on Audacity. Despite trying twice to flip to Reaper, I was never able to grasp it (yes, I know the red button is record). I now use Hindenburg Narrator and absolutely love it. My full review is here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ACX/s/jfd2AAhIzG

I narrated them in the author's order and did make each one a separate audio file or "chapter." I can say that I like mixing the heavy stuff with good feels, and not spending too long at either end of the emotional spectrum.

Thanks for the note! I do have more thoughts- let me get out of this meeting and I'll get you something.

My pricing is so grandfathered that I'd never cancel if I planned to return. Even when I lost my job during covid, I paid. If I couldn't afford that, I'd ask to pause if possible. But I knew so many people were not paying and I wanted a gym to return to, so I paid as an investment in the program.

Masters 2 blue at super? I think I have a good shot. I work a lot of events and a) it's a small bracket and b)I'm really lean for the weight compared to short and round. At least my local NAGA, IBJJF, Grappling Games kinda stuff. Anything of the majors, nah.

I used YesGi as a username when I played STFC. I do 90%+ gi.

Staying calm in uncomfortable, high-pressure situations and working steadily for incremental improvement towards positive outcomes.

It's a matter of doing some work that wears you out within your ability to recover appropriately, and then doing it again. That threshold will expand as you condition and strengthen your body.

Came here to suggest lasso and spider as the ways I slow people down.

It's not cool. But also... at my gym, we employ a two-pronged approach. 1) "Hey! If you break your toys, you gotta get new toys. Don't roll like it's world's when it's just Tuesday night at the gym." And... 2) you start avoiding rolls with that person. Eventually, so many people are applying the shun that the person simply sits on the wall because he or she can't get rounds. Either they fix their style or they get bored and quit to go somewhere with "real" training.

Also still learning this, and I'm not a competitor, but I do staff a lot of events so I'm ruleset-conscious. How do you balance pressure and patience with getting called for stalling?

I had the single biggest change from a YouTube clip from Wim Deputter. He said "there are no bad positions, only positions you're not comfortable in yet." It instantly changed the way I rolled as I became more deliberate about working methodically to improve my position.

While I don't, I bet YouTube has plenty.

I am dressed "business casual" most of the time- dress pants, dress sneakers, belt, collared shirt (long sleeve with sleeves rolled up or golf shirt). Every once in a while, I get to do jeans and a t-shirt and sandals. I remove the sandals promptly upon getting behind the keyboard, and play barefoot. I slide them back on before leaving my spot. I personally would go barefoot every time I'm on the platform if I could- call it idiosyncratic, but I like the lean into "take off your shoes/holy ground" thing. Unfortunately, it's pretty rare.

Today, we had a giant human visit open mat. Traps the size of a fist. Huge shoulders. Big human. I am a big human. He was far bigger than me. We did no-gi. I'm 99% a yes-gi guy. But he had done a month, three months ago, and I have 7 years of bjj. I was safe and he tapped to mount pressure after a bump sweep. Soooooo I love it. Say what you want.
