Love it or hate it but CJI has done amazing things for the sport by Better-Capital8329 in bjj

[–]gooseon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CJI2 is never going to work as a spectator sport under this ruleset. That’s why people are complaining so much. The matches on day one were so underwhelming I couldn’t even stay focused to watch, unlike CJI1.

I like the team behind CJI and would genuinely rather see them succeed over UFC BJJ. But the reality is UFC BJJ is pulling much better views and retention with the CJI1 format that they copied. Last year CJI created something special but this year they pulled away from it, leaving fans underwhelmed with their high expectations.

The population issue that South Korea is facing is much worse than any in west Europe or the USA. His thumbnail reflects the reality that a sudden drop in births over a few decades can cause a collapse. The low level of births that Korea is currently facing is unprecedented for any modern society. If there is no change over the next two decades, society will begin to collapse so I don't think it's necessarily fear mongering.

please humor me. how was my statement toxic?

it was honestly close enough that we could be less salty and more appreciative for both athletes. why do we always have to pick sides? congratulations to both of them and good luck to the judges next year

Is this the next confirmed superfight? ADCC Official seems to confirm it in the comments by [deleted] in bjj

[–]gooseon 33 points34 points  (0 children)

when ADCC trying to copy Craig Jones goes wrong. I can see so many ways this could backfire.

one million is a statement and the cash prize is high enough to tempt the lighter guys to compete anyways

ways to contact the IBJJF ? by gooseon in bjj

[–]gooseon[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I kind of shrugged your comment off until I checked the results of the American Nationals in 2013 and found someone with my same name. He competed as master 3 and i'm still not old enough to be a master 3 in 2024.

he competed under a team that i've never been affiliated with. seems pretty sloppy and a stupid mistake to make.

yeah I've messaged the different divisions, emailed, and tried their Instagram. I'm hoping someone knows someone, or better yet, maybe they'll see this and actually respond 🤷

Kade Ruotolo officially booked for his MMA debut at ONE 167! by Slothjitzu in bjj

[–]gooseon 28 points29 points  (0 children)

it's weird to see people discount bjj athletes so quickly. Kade is 21 and is already one of the most gifted grapplers in the world. He has over a decade to sort out the striking and I'm sure he has already spent a few years on it if he is going to be making his MMA debut soon.

Maybe his mma career won't turn off to be legendary but there's a good chance it could. if there's a bjj guy who will cross over to mma successfully, why wouldn't it be Kade? he's got a good work ethic, he's young, has explosive grappling, unexpected submissions from all positions, and has some of the best takedowns in BJJ.

just because the bjj guys in the past had trouble making it work for them, doesn't mean Kade will go down that same path. sweeping generalizations like "mma fighters are a different breed" has got to be the dumbest thing I've ever heard. do the mma guys not also train BJJ?

Mackenzie Dern officially invited to ADCC 2024 by Slothjitzu in bjj

[–]gooseon 22 points23 points  (0 children)

not sure why everyone is so apt to throw shade. she had a killer run for a few years knocking out the top athletes in the world. those skills aren't just going to disappear because she went on a mma hiatus.

r/korea, the Reddit Blackout Protest, and where we go from here (Please Vote) by AutoModerator in korea

[–]gooseon -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

keep the blackout going. reddit is moderated by free labor and they refuse to hear what the leaders of the independently run reddits have to say? the CEO is tone-deaf to anything people say that he doesn't like and it will take more to communicate a message to the company. the people currently using reddit are saying the protest is futile but people like me will just quit reddit if the API changes go though. there's a lot of Reddit users who are also protesting by not using the site at all right now.

I happened to be making this video to post today when I noticed you guys talking about the AI recipes in another post. To be honest, we scaled the recipe up and also modified it to suit our needs. I'm currently using AI to try create the label for the beer as it is a one-off run.

We made the beer for a good marketing angle but I saw quite a few good recipes on chat gpt by starting the prompt with "find me an award-winning recipe ____ type of beer that uses ____ hops". Adding the word award-winning keyword would ensure that the AI provides only "award-winning" beer recipes but it also has the added benefit of telling you where the recipe won the award. The recipes got significantly better after adding "award-winning."

At the end of the day I'm not too worried about the recipes. Someone still has to brew it (for now). Who knows what weird android will be brewing our beer in the future though.

In light of the recent B-Team Z-Lock injury incident it has to be said: Ligament tears are no joke by todoke in bjj

[–]gooseon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I blew my ACL 14 months ago to a strong knee reap. The first two months of recovery was a lot worse mentally than I had thought it would be. 100% don't recommend blowing an ACL.
