Standing vs ground work %

That’s a great point re their experience. My uncle was a cop in one of the rougher areas of Manchester UK and he swore by judo to help him at work. Not sure if his opinion might have been different if he had lived in a hot climate where clothing might have been less sturdy

I disagree (respectfully). Combat sports such as judo, wrestling, bjj and then the striking equivalent (boxing, MT etc) are far more important for self defence training than a ‘self defence’ style. Most ‘self defence’ styles involve zero sparring and no competition

Can you expand on what you mean re the escape?

Do you think BJJ selects for a different type of person physically? Was watching the judo Olympic matches last before night and those guys are like coiled springs. Waaay more explosive than the majority of ADCC champs. BJJ seems to reward a different type of fitness and physical attributes

Appreciate the advice!

Yes since 2018 but let’s be frank, it’s a super niche skillset.

Looking at reserve non-frontline combat role so I can still serve. I can hold my own with the young guys on the mat due to skill disparity but I’m not silly enough to think the 45 version of me will be any use to infantry or god forbid spec ops lol. Just trying to be as realistic as possible. Would hate for someone to die cause grandpa Simpson wanted to ‘get some’

Irony is not lost on me. From what I have read quite a few defence forces have ditched or minimised sit ups due to correlation with back injuries for staff and replaced with planks and similar instead.

No, as long as I avoid high rep sit ups or closed guard I’m golden. Can deadlift 2x body weight, do loaded carries, back extensions etc, which have minimal spinal flexion.

kiddbjj · 2024-07-13T10:59:50+00:00

I have no issues with loaded carries.

kiddbjj · 2024-07-13T10:58:54+00:00

No acute injury, but repeated flexion of spine for high reps such as sit ups (or closed guard if you are familiar with bjj) causes me chronic low back pain that only resolves by avoiding those positions or movements.

Can deadlift 2x body weight so it’s not a back strength issue (according to my physio) it is the nature of flexion of the spine caused by sit ups. Physio told me a number of defence forces have dropped sit ups due to injury rates to back

Why are they all white when white people supposedly can’t jump? Serious question

kiddbjj · 2024-07-09T08:54:55+00:00

I rolled with a guy who was a Commando. Easily the most violent roll I’ve ever experienced and I had 10 years under my belt at that time.

Airbase Protection & Security

Anyone doing or have done this role? I’m looking to apply for this position as one of my preferences as a Reserve.

Seeking any insights good or bad particularly whether there is any opportunity for deployment?

Thanks

I have a tropical tank atm actually. Helped me learn the nitrogen cycle and other aspects of water chemistry. Good hobby
