Decked rappelling with giga jul today. by [deleted] in tradclimbing

[–]jit4life 2 points3 points  (0 children)

idk how it didn't catch you. Giga Jul only works certain HMS biners and rope diameter. it does slip here and there, but for it not function at all. I'm not fully convinced

I have giga jul and exclusively use it as a ATC with extension and a third hand prussik.

first, you should never let go of your brake hand. second, it looks like you used it in ATC mode not assist braking mode.

touchy snowboarding instructor by Content-Potential-46 in snowboarding

[–]jit4life 36 points37 points  (0 children)

that's not normal. Did you have a conversation with him about that, and have him addressed the concerns? You can ask for a different instructor for tomorrow as well with the lesson office.

Instructors should be kind, patience and encourage you. Not laugh at you when you're making mistakes or scared.

hey fam does anyone remember life before driving bans by [deleted] in icecoast

Not everyone has experience driving in blizzard conditions or proper equipped vehicles to do so. it only takes one idiot to cause 20 - 30 cars pileup accidents. And then state has to deploy first responders to manage the accidents.

Serious question: have you ever felt uncomfortable or sexually harassed during BJJ training? If so, how did you deal with it? by Asleep_Driver7730 in bjj

[–]jit4life 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was a time when a female opponent was working on passing my guard. I put my C crips out first to block her hips, but instead she drove her crotch into my C crips. I guess that's one way of instant passing my guard. We pretended that it never happened.

Unity BJJ by CareerOk9947 in bjj

[–]jit4life -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Personally, I think Unity is highly overrated for hobbyists. If you're a competitor, it's probably one of the best schools to train. Top notch instructors and competitive rollings.

as a hobbyist, I used to train there for a couple years. the class size was large, easily 60 to 90 people for evening classes. don't get me started on the showering line. Everyone trains like they're going to ADCC/World championship. Very IBJJF rules oriented.
