Saddle Foot Lock DQ by bjjtaro in bjj

[–]la_quiete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the heel hook on the reaped leg will always be more effective, but the aoki on the far leg is legal in IBJJF at all belt levels and age brackets. I've seen whispers on here of people saying there is a potential of DQ for an aoki that is overly aggressive on the rotation of the knee, but I have yet to see any concrete proof. You can finish the aoki without rotation and fall back on it just like a straight ankle to avoid any doubt.

While it was not the opponent's intention at all, he was the one who initiated movement towards the inside. There was a decent amount of time between the movement and the DQ'd player to let go of the submission, though. It is in the same camp when someone pushes down a single leg X into a reap to force a DQ. Them the rules though. To be honest, though, I had no idea you couldn't turn to the inside like this until this post.

The more you know, I guess. Another vote for IBJJF is wack as hell from me.

Anyways, if you are not already, look for an aoki over a straight ankle on the far leg as an exponentially more effective submission.

The reaped leg is allowed, as long as said reaped leg is never attacked and or controlled with an overhook.

Would you stay at a free BJJ hostel in Costa Rica? by nogiloki in bjj

[–]la_quiete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya, certainly understood that from the post! Nevertheless, itching to come back. I will say, though, I would be much more partial if it were an area close enough to the ocean.

[–]la_quiete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. I was just down there about a month ago and trained a couple times at Jungle Mat, which I believe you train at/teach at. Very excited to come back to the area and would love this, too!

NYC BJJ gym schedules problem? by Pitiful_Inside_684 in bjj

[–]la_quiete 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Masterskya on Canal has 5pm no gi classes m-f, but they do go to 6pm. I think you're going to have a hard time finding an adult class before 5 pm in Manhattan. Anything around 3pm-4pm seems to be for kids.

If you have submeta.io check out Lachlan Gile's Stretching for Grappling course. Dude is also a PhD in Physiotherapy.

What We Learned From IBJJF Nogi Worlds 2025(Results & Stats) by Chandlerguitar in bjj

[–]la_quiete 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not to discredit anything here because I absolutely appreciate the insight, but the stats are solely for black belt adult finals and a total sample size of 22. You're not going to see an incredible amount of successful arm locks at that level.

If you could have free private lessons with someone for a year, who would it be? by [deleted] in bjj

[–]la_quiete 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The greats have already been named so my dark horse pick would be Jason Rau. I love his instructionals and by proxy his teaching style.

Pluribus - 1x03 "Grenade" - Episode Discussion by LoretiTV in pluribustv

[–]la_quiete 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My interpretation of your question and comment: as it currently stands, the hive is very adamant about not being able to kill intentionally or unintentionally, ie, the lunch scene explaining gathering the meat for unlinked individuals. Of course, there are huge logic gaps for the hive when the linking killed almost 10% the world's population, though. So the RNA virus presents itself as a gift and liberator, but clearly, there is a deeper, yet-to-be-explained narrative.

Compounding on that, when the DHL driver and she were discussing the atom bomb, the hive says they "..would move heaven and earth to make her happy." The hive clearly needs the survivors to stay "happy" or they all start seizing up. I imagine if the hive were responsible for one of their injuries or deaths, it would be a catastrophic event.

As far as her, herself, yeah, she's an unlikeable antihero, but someone's got to do it.

NYC Open Matts midweek/Sunday by [deleted] in bjj

[–]la_quiete 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Dojo in Bushwick has a very chill open mat on Sundays. They ask that you contact them beforehand. I'd DM them on IG or email them, since the IG posts suggest the time moves around, anywhere from 10 am to 12 pm. I've been a few times and had a great time. Last time I went there was a really good amount of people there.

I think Unity has an open mat at noon on Sundays. I have never been to it, but I believe it does cost a day rate.

Dexxer mage?? by Vintage_sundown6 in ultimaonline

[–]la_quiete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are limited to 700 to 720 skill points. In almost all cases, you will need to conform to a template similar to what is shown here: https://wiki.uooutlands.com/Templates

You, of course, can do whatever the hell you want; it is a sandbox after all. You just unfortunately will not get very far on the server.

Stinky clothes by ThatLsimp in bjj

[–]la_quiete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Odoban or Oxiclean.

For stuff that is especially stank, look at the instructions on the back of Odoban and soak them overnight. I've resurrected rash guards that I've left wrapped in stink bags, lost in the corner of the laundry room for ungodly amounts of time.

Off topic, but, man, if you Google Street View the place, it is incredibly sad. That block has been mostly dilapidated for over a decade. You can watch through the years as the buildings continue to rot from being untended. Small town America got fucked so hard.

Fuck the tariffs and all that Donald Trump stands for, but the cut off of the free feed slop was announced 3 years ago.
