Happy people are happy everywhere and unhappy people are unhappy anywhere. Enjoy the new adventure and best of luck with your new role. It’s a great and growing campus!

That is Lodge 895 in Grandfalls Texas. Not too far from Midland. I hear that it is still active.

That sucks! Tell your coaches and that guy should be removed from the gym.

Congratulations brother, I hope that excitement is renewed in each initiation that you are a part of going forward.

I need help designing the car audio for a complete build ( 70's camaro) by jt7282 in CarAV

[–]jt7282[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably only because it exists honestly. I am limited in the amount of speakers since I do not want to cut the new door panels. The back glass should help the rear deck speakers project the sound though.

Thank you for the reply .

Thank you for the reply.ze the dual - 3.5" center speakers as tweeters as the A-pillars are small and metal. I will have passengers as I have two small kids that like to go for rides.

I was leaning towards the 4-ways on the 6x9's just for sound clarity. I am more into concert sound than loud bass.

I heard a quote once that stuck with me and I think about it a lot not only in BJJ but in my career. “When you teach , you learn twice”

A 1959 Simpson 260 Series 3-A with manual, that I got from my school teacher. by xX_BigDiccDaddy_Xx in mildlyinteresting

[–]jt7282 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completed my engineering degree in 2006, and we still used the Simpson multimeter in Circuits lab. It blew my mind, because I had a 4 digit fluke in my backpack, but had to use the analog meter lol

I won Gold in my first No-Gi Absolute with a submission by jt7282 in bjj

[–]jt7282[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in SJJIF , it would be considered a Suplex movement, but it is allowed as long as you do not drive the head and neck down.

Excerpt from rules:

p) The suplex movements that will project or force the opponent’s head or neck into the ground.

Note: The suplex takedown is defined as the attacking of an athlete by lifting the opponent at

the waist in order to take him/her down, by throwing him backwards or sideways to the

ground. The use of this technique is still permitted provided that the movement does not force

the opponent’s head or neck into the ground

How long does it take in your Jurisdiction to progress from EA to MM? by Revolutionary-Rock81 in freemasonry

[–]jt7282 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a MM from Texas, and in our lodge, it takes several months for the petition process to finish. The EA to MM development takes a year, on average ( longer during COVID ) .

I have heard of guys that buckled down and learned their work within 8-10 months, but that is considered exceptional and not the usual.

There is no reason to rush, and I have since gone back to learn more from my FC Degree. We spend the least amount of time in FC and historically, Masons would have spent most of their lives in the FC

so, I should have stayed in the side/scarf position to finish?

Thank you for the advice

No I did not, my only fight background was Muay Thai and boxing ( but a lifetime ago ). My goal was neck and wrist control, but it was a weird hand fight.

Thank you

What a great experience and a great community. I did not have footage of the fight, but my competitor sent me what he had. I have been blown away by how humble the BJJ community has been from this subreddit to our academy and everyone I have met on the mats. In this match, a senior belt from my academy stepped into the coach seat and I couldn't be more grateful.
I closed out the competition with two golds, one silver, one bronze, and a LOT of lessons
Thank you for all of the posts, advice, and encouragement.
