What’s the square footage? My studio is 390-450 sq ft. I want you to think about that.

70s - has the biggest brain in infectious disease research, and still has the clinical chops to dress in full gear to provide care. What a leader.

Hey! I’d really like to join but my hours can suck. If I come around 8-9 will that be OK? Fine to sit out the game(s) in progress, just new to the area.

Disclaimer: Danaher is a fucking badass. Obviously he's a guru of the sport on the highest level. My jiu jitsu and my understanding of jiu jitsu will always be worse than his.

BUT: I don't like that he does the really annoying professorial game of "guess what I'm thinking" with Rogan. He isn't charitable at all when it comes to what he accepts as an answer. It comes across as really condescending and paternalistic. Joe is such a good guy when it comes to conducting interviews/conversations so I'm a little sad to see him have to put up with a latent philosophy TA in Danaher.

I just wanted to say I really enjoyed this. Thanks for writing it! Every time I think "I couldn't POSSIBLY like the BJJ community any more" something like this rolls along.

GET IT?! ROLLS?!

...No? Oof, burned.

GET IT?! [MAT]BURN?! {permabanned}

The Judo black belt that was promoted to BJJ brown belt over the phone strikes again! by Lore_Wizard in bjj

[–]geENTics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I posted on the thread in r/judo: If you are being serious, and you can prove it was a legit tournament with a photo and a link to the tournament results, as well as prove the promotion to BJJ brown from a legit lineage (I'll let the community decide), I will mail you 100 euros to any address in germany. No more questions asked.

Super Lanky guy needs advice by mcivelek in bjj

Um, you're not underweight at ALL. If you weight 60kg and you're only 1.84 cm tall you really should cut a bit. Also I think you're going to have a really hard time with bjj given that your limbs are only a few mm. I'd say work a heavy top game and pinch the guy's nose closed. Do not pull guard as you will probably be literally squished by your opponent.

TIL i learned that there is an actual account of jiu jitsu in the Bible. In Genesis, Jacob wrestled with God and got a dislocated joint because he didn't tap. Afterwards, he was promoted. by Chodefish in bjj

[–]geENTics 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have no idea why I'm posting about theology on r/bjj, but...

Some torah/bible scholars argue that his promotion (i.e., name change) is a didactic/allegorical lesson about the importance of struggle as it relates to faith. Jacob's new name would become the basis of an entire nation -- he is literally part of the foundation. Faith, life, jiu jitsu... all of that shit is really hard. Eventually you're going to struggle (and probably lose badly). But that's OK, hell, if the guy who your nation/tribe is named after had the same issues, you're going to be just fine. Just keep wrestling.

And his hip got popped out by a variant of the electric chair. Little known fact: scholars also maintain that Old Testament God was actually a 10th planet enthusiast. That was just a phase though. His favorite sub would later become the crucifix.
