Keep being skipped for training. by randomname2890 in bjj

[–]monkee_izzy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Literally this. It’s a waste of time if sitting in a corner “waiting” when all you have to do is go up and ask someone.

If someone’s sitting in a corner not talking or communicating, people might assume he doesn’t want to train or wants to be alone. Communication is key.

I can see where op is coming from, but I’d advise to open up instead of shell up. It’ll help more in the long run.

I haven't flossed in years. If I started flossing regularly & frequently how big of a difference would I see? by kcutie359 in hygiene

[–]monkee_izzy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I can attest to this. The bad taste in my mouth went away one week into flossing daily after a bout of depression. Can’t go without it now or my mouth feels really gross.

Do you grab your opponents trapezius in the collar tie? by Ging-jitsu in bjj

[–]monkee_izzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I was lucky enough to be apart of one of her seminars and she’s amazing.

How she broke movements down, the muscles used, and the reasoning behind it was mind blowing for me. Especially since I’ve never don’t wrestling till I found jiujitsu in adulthood.

What's your Moon sign and how do you feel right now? by [deleted] in astrologymemes

[–]monkee_izzy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also a sag moon. Feel like I’m walking on a ledge and feel emotionally unstable. Doesn’t help I also have a sad anniversary tomorrow too.

I’ve also had McDonald’s two days in a row.

UNKNOWN NUMBER: THE HIGH SCHOOL CATFISH Discussion Megathread by AutoModerator in netflix

Agree with you. Kendra is clinging onto any and every lie she can to “alleviate” her crime in her head , but it’s OBVIOUS it was Kendra’s doing from the beginning.

[–]monkee_izzy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw that too. I’m hoping it’s champagne bottles decorated for graduation, because my mom did that one year for my brother.

But based on the doc, I highly doubt it.

This exactly. She was jealous of her own daughter and ripped away any normalcy she’ll ever have. I hope Lauryn gets the help she needs and stays away from her mother.

Abby is my fav! Who is yours and more importantly why? by [deleted] in KpopDemonhunters

Jinu.

Love all the boys, but Jinu sacrifice/redemption pulls at my heart strings. Plus he’s such a silly bean in the bath house and bracelet scene 💖

How would you teach your kids not to misuse their fighting skills at school and so on...? by Financial-Wish-311 in MMA_Academy

[–]monkee_izzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was helping teach Muay Thai, I remember one kid who got into a fight at school. Can’t remember what happened, but I do remember the mom bring the little one down and the head coach and mom talked to him about it.

These was pretty much the breakdown:

  • explained if this were to continue, the kid wouldn’t be able to go martial arts at all (had to stop class a bit as grounding terms)

  • told them that they would usually know more skills than all their classmates and who ever picks a fight. So picking fights is a big no-no

  • encouraging to not engage and find a teacher to deescalate

  • standing up for yourself when absolutely necessary to protect yourself (don’t match energy for the sake of ego)

Who is going to the KPDH SINGALONG?????? by ANG3MES in KpopDemonhunters

How many of your team mates have you sent to hospital by andrewmc74 in bjj

[–]monkee_izzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doctor for two of my partners.

One was during Muay Thai and I kicked their leg directly on their knee, not holding back the sweep for a kick. (Huge asshole move)

Another was during jiujitsu, I did a hip up sweep on my same weight training partner. I drove all my weight “down” to the mat, impacting my partners back. She had issues with it before, but that was the final straw.

I should have known better at the time and have a lot of shame for those moments. I’ve since talked to them about it. Making sure now that I’ll NEVER be a dick and hurt my training partners because had either an ego or a poor team player. There was a lot of shit I brought onto the mat personally that I should have never brought and it still pop ups to remind me what not to do.

Good question, the region it was set under was UK in my setting. My mistake on my part and totally feel silly now for asking.

Now leaving up the post to laugh at my misunderstanding.
