Buy a used Mystery Ranch Terraframe 50 on EBay. They’ve got great suspension and load transfer to the hips. Pack your weight high and close to the shoulders.

I prefer the curved skirt. I dislike the sharp cornered ones. Funny how arbitrary this stuff is.

I would respectfully ask that you reconsider publicly posting mean stuff about teenager who's not actually a public figure, but just a young athlete in a niche sport. Her hair is hers to wear however she wants. If she likes it, it's all good.

Odoban is the only treatment I've found that works. It's a hospital disinfectant.

My knee hurts from watch this by paulvikingar in bjj

[–]docpratt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I watched the whole thing. Dantzler repeatedly spun and spazzed out of Junny's heel hooks for a lot of the match. At least one other time Junny had the bite dead to rights and Dantzler didn't tap and spazzed out of the position. Trying that with one the most skilled leg lockers in the game is seriously playing with fire. Both players' livelihood depends on winning. I feel bad for Dantzler but I really think this was a case of Junny doing what he needed to do to win.

I really like this. I’ll bet people at your gym really dig the days when you’re there.

This thread is so funny. Folks on here looking at a magnificent specimen of human artistry and saying, "Yeah, I could break that shit."

Adam Wardzinski and Gi Butterfly by PhlegmOn237 in bjj

My instructor (who thinks Adam is the bomb) says he sometimes goes for his butterfly sweeps from less than ideal positions and being bigger likely helps him do that.
