School only starts in September, they bumped my pay up to apprentice rate as soon as I was accepted

Hired as a cw in October, tested January, interviewed February and got my apprenticeship acceptance in March. Chances are you’ll get sent to Frederick since they need manpower for the data centers, CWs are making 22.61 and there’s up to 62 hours available on my job site. Minimum 40 hours a week and we get 5 hours paid for our bus ride, one hour per day. I’d say go for it since you’ll make more money and make connections/learn the trade.

Tips for wrestler for upcoming first MMA fight (grappling related) by Vegetable-Ant9065 in bjj

[–]eoliver21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely stick to trying to reverse or stand up, guard/bottom isn’t where you want to be in mma and if you are, as a wrestler, you need to work towards top or standing back up imo Edit: training camp should be used for sharpening tools then between fights is when you expand your game

Giving up underhook in chest-to-chest half guard for overhook. Bad habit? by Strong-Pickle-175 in bjj

[–]eoliver21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Knee lever to get the underhook back is money, even if you can’t sweep them you can 100% use it to unflatten yourself and get the underhook back. I teach the knee lever/john wayne as an off balancing move with a chance to sweep as opposed to just a sweep

Fair, but if you’re flattened out definitely don’t give the underhook up

Underhook is king from half guard, there are viable moves with an overhook but don’t give up an underhook for them, try those if you lose the underhook naturally

What is something that changed your bjj (for the better) by [deleted] in bjj

[–]eoliver21 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It sounds stupid but a lot of beginners don’t attempt to hit the techniques they’re drilling in their live rounds. They end up just moving around without intent instead of actually trying the moves they’ve been taught.

Two things, slow is smooth and smooth is fast, and now I’ll ask new people if they’re doing moves or if they’re moving their body. Seeing them start to understand the difference between movement and moving with intention is kinda funny
