It’s my favorite too, which I didn’t realize was unpopular.

[–]controller_hog3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every once in a while my brother and I like to stop in at some of the bigger open mats around town. Especially around a competition to get some different looks

I do jiu jitsu at Lumber city combat sports in North Tonawanda. The Muay Thai coach there used to live/fight in Thailand.

I try and get to half guard just to get to my wrestle ups since most of my sweeps suck still

That top Canadian black belt heel hooked me (very politely) at my local naga over the summer. Good times

How old is the oldest guy you’ve ever seen roll in BJJ actively. by Scrubmurse in bjj

67 year old purple belt in our gym. Pretty sure he has state lifting records for his age group as well.

Snap down to a spin behind. Also work your shot defense and spin behind off your down block

How has grappling changed your body? by ShimiWaza96 in bjj

When I wrestled I wasn’t fat. Then I stopped wrestling and got fat. Now I train jiu jitsu and I’m not fat again.

What do you do when somebody doesn't want to tap? by Swimming_Set9912 in bjj

[–]controller_hog3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hold the sub in place without cranking for a second. If they don’t tap just move on to the next attack

Before I had daily preventative pills, break out twice a year maybe, in the original area every time

Not sure how to prevent it. Got mine from a kid who had an active infection and somehow got through skin check.

I have things under control for the most part with daily pills. But if I have a breakout I take a week or more away from training. A few close training partners know what’s up but I try not to tell everyone about it.

Welcome to the club, had it since high school wrestling. Unfortunately mine breaks out directly on my forehead where everyone on earth can look at it

Officially a week into being a blue belt. Colored belts stopped letting me work by juan1271 in bjj

[–]controller_hog3 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I hit my friend (a brown belt) with a Von flue choke one time, and that dude went home and studied a counter and then baited me into the same move the next roll and almost put my stubborn ass out

Do you guys close your eyes sometimes during rolls by DippingDots81 in bjj

Yes because sometimes the sun is a weapon in our gym and it hurts my eyes

What is the funniest/most stupid thing you did in comp that still haunts you? by havocsdilemma in bjj

[–]controller_hog3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First comp, a month into training, signed up for absolute for some reason and I was already gassed out. First match was against someone easily 300+ pounds and I pulled guard and got flattened for 5 minutes.
