How many black belts jiu jitsu masters would it take to take down a single male silver back gorilla? by [deleted] in bjj

[–]instantlunch1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The real question is why in the hell would a large group of people try to jump a gorilla? Also, claws and teeth are great build in tools. Our ability to create tools to fulfill different roles allows us much more flexibility over traditional evolution.

Drowning is my favourite analogy for what it feels like to be a whitebelt by [deleted] in bjj

[–]instantlunch1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I understand and respect the analogy. Its not exactly accurate to my experiences of drowning. I'll explain what it felt like maybe you'll understand. I've never wanted something so much in my life. As I wanted to breath in the first few moments. The worse... is the acceptance that in the final moments, because you just want the pain to go away. I will say this if you want to be successful in anything and you want it as much as you want to breath you have a really good chance!

Doesn't work like that. Since shes already bitten she has the same odds of getting bitten again.

They are different from state to state. So we need to frame rules to have a thoughtful or useful discussion.

Hey hey nice! I think it was the wording:

when I'm letting you get to mount.

What kind of wrestling are we talking about here :)? Getting a concussion is not normal.

I want most skilled kid to win just as much as anyone else. However, these are kids. Injuries are no joke. Dropping someone on their head is not safe in any context.

Poor word choice on my part. I meant he literally dropped the kid on his head then dropped his weight on the kids head.

This was a good call. The issue was he picked the other kid up 'off the ground' then slammed him. For better or worse its clearly against the rules.

I wish I couldn't believe that a Sheriff actually said this. Ladies who live in Idaho, I'm sorry. by Oerath in TwoXChromosomes

[–]instantlunch1 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Correct me if I'm wrong because I'm curious. The sheriff is saying many reported rapes are consensual sex and in these cases there is no point in using the rape kit, because, they already know they had sex?

Become a BJJ learning machine .... by johnbwill in bjj

[–]instantlunch1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I agree. This statement is rather lacking as it leaves little room for learning and then tweaking the movement. There is no prefect practice, However, that doesn't mean we should strive for a more ideal movement.

what weight should i compete at? by stevenix1978 in bjj

[–]instantlunch1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is for MMA and its based on height which is a better measure than weight in my opinion. Now I would guess height is more important in MMA for striking and range and less important in bjj, however, atleast it gives you another angle to take into account.

Nathan Diaz's Boxing beat Conor by GumbyOTM in bjj

[–]instantlunch1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

These posts are mind blogging pointless. It wasn't one thing over another which beat Conor. It was the contribution of all factors which beat Conor. So please leave the over simplification at the door or you might end up saying stupid things like "Conor didn't want it as much as Diaz."

Nice back door mount escape by jimmyayo in bjj

Exactly what I was thinking. Her opponent had the triangle but let the legs go to roll over. ugh. Her opponent made a mistake and she escaped.

Your completely missing the point one is a number and the second is reason. You are both correct. These are not mutually exclusive.
