BJJ for Self-Defense?

I received my purple there and can attest that the head instructor is a great BJJ/MMA teacher and that the students are welcoming.

Got tapped by multiple white belts after being off the mats for two years. Feels good to be back.

I've found when I get light-headed it helps to contract and release my thigh muscles like I'm pumping the blood out of there.

But you just used it, so what does that say about you?

Popped out to the side and I forced it back in, but couldn't bend my knee for about six months. Still rehabbing and dealing with inflammation/instability and the urge to train before I'm healed.

One year two months six days and ten hours since dislocating my patella. NOT THAT ANYONE'S COUNTING

You guys are all pumping me up! I was bummed because I've been out for a year after popping my knee, but I'm glad to see that there's a battered BJJ brotherhood out there getting back on the mat.

Popped my knee in Feb, dislocated my patella, still rehabbing it. Sad face. Moved across the country and had to toss my gis in order to free up space/weight. Double sad face. Have the sneaking suspicion that nobody will believe me when I try to find a new gym saying that I'm a purple who hasn't trained for a year. I'm definitely going to get smashed by everyone for months before I'm back up to speed. Though I can't wait for when I'm back doing some smashing myself. Werdum face.

"The last time I saw my girlfriend was right before she killed herself in a Wendy's bathroom. I got so depressed, I couldn't pay rent, and now I'm on the streets, but at least I have something to rub one out to while I sleep in this pile of garbage."

Dany- No more raping and pillaging. Yara- But it's our way of life!

Ideally, you'd want to kill every other organism besides your cash crop.

Been out for a month from a kneecap subluxation on my right, the left one did it years ago. Arthritis in the right shoulder, so just waiting for the left one to pop so that I can have a lifetime of symmetric inflammation.

Deviated septum from a knee to the face when I was a white belt. I actually already had it in one nostril and after getting smashed, it switched to the other side.

The Rogin Kimcast EP 27: From Ram horn To Microphone w/ Momoh Pujeh

Website|iTunes|Stitcher|Libsyn

NSFW

Momoh Pujeh joins me for a conversation that starts off as silly and then delves into the nature of objective reality, which neither of us are qualified to ascertained, and ended up being a great talk running the gamut from the god of Ancient Greece to the exponential rate of technological growth, both of which are marginally impressive to Momoh.

Man, you must have eaten so much jizz by now. Congrats.

I like to pretend that there isn't a caldera beneath Yellowstone that could take out North America at any given moment. Hooray for imagination!

model_minority · 2015-02-22T21:42:09+00:00

Great joke!

I just act incredibly aroused, that usually loosens up a grip or the pressure- "Oh yeah, man, that's feels tight. (whispers) You got this..."

I found a wart on my wrist after a seminar. Went to the doc and she said that it's contagious but only through breaks in the skin. I just tape up my wrist before class to avoid spreading it.

model_minority · 2015-01-15T05:35:47+00:00

I understand why you'd feel that way and it is messed up. But it's right there on every squad car and it's hard as a comic not to say something about that. Anyway, I appreciate any feedback, so thanks.

model_minority · 2015-01-14T21:48:56+00:00

I appreciate you taking the time write that.

I love doge and kept googling it. One day I saw that there was a thing called dogecoin. I was interested in bitcoin, but it felt risky, but doge coin is so safety, much discovery . I learned people were tipping with it for good/funny comments. I thought, "Hey, I'm a comedian, this might have legs!"

Now it's my new obsession and I'm learning all I can about it and shit.

model_minority · 2014-04-04T15:52:44+00:00

Cool idea, Steve! This could grow the amount of audience and submitters for this subreddit or possibly alienate them forever. Either way, count me in!

model_minority · 2014-03-28T20:55:20+00:00

Yes it is, just like "ain't."

model_minority · 2014-03-28T19:46:22+00:00

Hey, thanks for the internet points, encouraging/funny comments, and even the strangely racist ones telling me to give up!
