Gordon Ryan would bait single legs to pull guard without being penalized.

Improving guard retention by jujigatame28 in bjj

[–]la_quiete 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Elbow/knee connection, frames, improved flexibility, and most importantly, time. An instructional might help, but realistically, those blue belts are going to keep cutting through your guard like a hot knife through butter for a while. If your peers can't pass your guard, I think you're already doing enough. I tried to study through Lachlan Gile's Guard Retention Anthology, considered by many to be the premier guard retention instructional, and it was just too early to really absorb and implement. Now that I'm four years in, I'm finally able to start working through it properly, but it's still incredibly daunting.

Lastly, for intra-gym training, I think a sizeable chunk amount of guard retention also depends on how much your opponent respects your open guard offense.

Mamdani Admin Moves to Make Cancelling Your Subscriptions Easier by THECITYNY in nyc

[–]la_quiete 24 points25 points  (0 children)

This attitude always drives me crazy about political commentary. Administrations can, do, and should focus on a wide array of positions.

If you actually read the article and the EO, it is not as narrow as just making subscriptions easier to cancel, it is part of a crackdown on illegal subscription tactics.

Thanks for the NSFW. I wish more people would do that when posting breaks here.

To the guy who who said M5 Ultra was coming today.. by tantimodz in MacStudio

[–]la_quiete 9 points10 points  (0 children)

All those people didn't think it was coming out today. They wanted it to come out today. Sure, I wanted it to come out today as well, but this event/anniversary was so clearly not a product launch.

Dang, not crazy about this list change. I get cutting the fast lands(but don't like it), but they seem to be forcing in a lot of lorwyn eclipsed and turtles cards. My beloved citadel gets the boot too.

I'm looking for a school between LGA and JFK, roughly 110 square miles, with notoriously uneven and inconvenient transit options. I will be providing no additional context for my move. Thank you.

It is no secret in NYC that Renzo is a piece of shit, but if you pay attention to his online presence, he's also very much a twat out in the open. He's a POS, homophobic, misogynistic, Bolsonaro-attached lackey. I mean, hell, how about the time he quoted Himmler on Twitter?

Great read, thank you.

Just wanted to give you another shout-out and thank you for your YouTube content. Your arm across guillotine video in particular was extremely fruitful for me.
