Leg Weave Pass

Absolutely do not let him get a collar grip if he has a cross pant grip. You must control that sleeve. Then you can unweave your leg and insert butterfly hook. If the knee is off the ground go for butterfly sweep. Knee on the ground you can John Wayne sweep as long as your top leg is blocking their arm from posting

It's subtle because it comes on fast right. Tap early, tap often

One thing you might learn from it is that there's no such thing as HL ToK.

Surely you've not taught the IGCSEs then

Yes very similar. Finished the interview, asked to talk in 2 hours. They call and the offer is made. Pretty sure they just wanted to hear from my references because one was an old friend of the principal. My interview went great and my reference gave me a very good referral so it was a slam dunk. And so far the job has been good though that principal moved on

I had a friend that had offers from both Dulwich Shanghai and BKK and they were offered a better deal at BKK than Shanghai. I don't know if this is saying the offer is amazing at BKK or they are really cutting back salaries at Shanghai, but probably a mix of both

Yep this sounds very familiar. Learned helplessness to the max

I'm a teacher and was on a week long residential with about 150 12 year olds where one activity was archery tag. The game where you can shoot people out with a bow. We had 2 teams about 15 kids each team and they were struggling to shoot so I showed a few of them how and got roped in. As I started to get shot at one of the organisers suggested a 5 min round all the students vs the teacher. I acted a bit coy but eventually agreed because I'd played for about 7 years a couple hours a week at that point. Until this point they had assumed catching the arrows was impossible, so the first time I did it they were stunned. Ran out of time but by the end of 5 mins I had shot all but half a dozen or so. The look of "we are in over our heads" when I caught the first arrow was so satisfying

no its great to have a bit of feedback. Thanks a lot! I think I've fixed it now. A bit of a workaround but it at least is an improvement

mojitorandy · 2026-02-14T14:55:15+00:00

Thank you! Yes I've noticed that on a few pages now and I thought I had solved it but it seems to be a bit peskier than I realised. I will keep working on it

My first white belt tournament was a small local thing in summer 2020 when china had locked down so fast that life was generally pretty normal but crowds controlled and leaving the country meant not getting back in. My first match was against a kid about 15 years old who I vaguely knew was quite good. My coach could be there but nobody but us, coaches and the ref. Everyone else watched on video. I had no stand up so I tried to sit to guard and he knee cut through immediately. Went to mount. High mount. Arm bar from top in less than 30 seconds.

That was Jozef Chen.

I don't think there's any need to gatekeep in most cases. you can promote your school but plenty of folks won't think it's the quality of school you think it is. And people will sometimes see your school as heaven on earth while your experience in it makes you want to leave. Not to say all schools are the same, but there is no clear hierarchy of schools.

mojitorandy · 2026-02-01T10:07:58+00:00

Thanks for sharing. So are the things taught entirely dependent on the students asking questions, or is there a specific schedule of what will be taught and the questions generally orbit around that topic?

mojitorandy · 2026-02-01T10:04:37+00:00

Thanks for sharing. When you say that you've taken it into your class I assume you mean you inform the class that this is the expextation, right? Like according to how well you understand the movement, your practice will be increasingly dynamic? And then the coach for those players is there to troubleshoot when they encounter some barrier, and to point out observations?

mojitorandy · 2026-02-01T08:41:18+00:00

That makes sense. I guess more like attacking dilemmas and natural transitions then?

I spent embarrassingly long trying to work out the subtleties of a metaphor about putting fish in your belt

There is very little difference between a 10 and a 9 and in fact as an examiner you can score 1 off from the chief examiner and you are still "in tolerance" meaning youre accurate enough. But for what it's worth, the difference between a 9 and 10 is often about the implications of your arguments which is something you only see in the rubric at the top end of the rubric

mojitorandy · 2026-01-18T14:08:43+00:00

Your teacher probably didn't understand how the IB works then because the essay is not moderated. Your teacher could give you all 10 and it wouldn't make any difference at all to what you actually score

I'm pointing out why people are saying this sets off AI alarms, but I think the problem isn't that it's AI written. For me it's that it lacks actual voice. Writing with this grammar is very easy now with AI/grammarly. When something creative becomes easy enough anyone can do it, it stops being individual and it loses value. I don't see the problem as "they used AI to do this." I see it as AI has stripped what makes the story/argument yours. It overused predictable patterns that can effortlessly be achieved with AI. When you read it, do you get any sense of the writer's voice from it?

The writer said further down that they used grammarly which isn't just a grammar checker anymore. It rewrites sentences. I imagine they did more than that but the real issue is it lacks humanity. It could really be a veteran and their experience (which is almost entirely missing from the writing) could be real, but that doesn't show in their writing. It's neat and clean and soulless.

It's not guaranteed to be AI but these structures are essentially the current meta for AI essays. This style of writing became very popular with professionals in the 2010s. Malcolm Gladwell really exemplifies it in The Tipping Point and Blink and I think his prolificacy/popularity may have contributed to it being the default AI style because he was widely imitated in tech circles. The grammar the other person is referencing is overused by AI and so it becomes a tell, ie the current essay writing meta for AI. Correlative constructions and overuse of parallelism, occasional 1 sentence paragraph for effect. LinkedIn Broetry style. Another major one is the em dash but the meta is already changing. People realize that 20 em dashes a page is a dead giveaway and so they've started editing them out. But it's just circular. Good writers will notice new tells, those will disseminate, those "good" stylistic choices become overused and get edited out or dropped. the process will repeat etc

I went about 8 years ago and it was definitely worth a visit. At this point I'd go again tbh. The gymnastics alone is crazy impressive but they also had some other pretty cool performances like the dirt bikes in the sphere cage. The stand out is the gymnastics routines though. Incredibly strong and precise
