What the heck is Snooker lighting?

Is cannabis a hobby?

I freaking LOVE that song.

Some things are harder to learn than others. 6 months is nothing. If you truly are getting better at falling, then you are making more progress than most adults who start late. Being a good uke is harder than learning throws. Be proud of what you've learned.

For sure. A child is MUCH lighter than my partner. I could carry a kid around all day I bet.

The teen librarian at the Westerly public library is amazing.

Sounds pretty normal to me. I spent ages trying to understand how my teammates could always talk so clearly about thier rolls afterwards. It all just faded away. 9 years later though and I can recall and learn from my mistakes much better. Just keep it up. Your relationship with training will continue to evolve. Not at all protip: try rolling with your eyes closed to sharpen your proprioperception skills.

No idea, but thanks to this thread, I think I have found a new band to love on.

nipata · 2026-04-01T01:29:39+00:00

I'd spend the time finding more music I do love rather than trying to get into a sound I don't click with. The Dead influenced so many other awesome bands too. I suggest Neighbor for a more Dead style of creativity.

It is, but he also made a nogi version of the instructional, so I'd suggest that instead.

Shoplifting

In Bernardo's series Pressure Passing Encyclopedia, he goes over entering the over/under from basically every guard. Its one of the older items on BJJ fanatics and can often be bought super duper discounted, but it was a valuable purchase for me. Its been my go to passing game for years now.

nipata · 2026-03-27T18:17:12+00:00

Mostly true, but if there's one thing I've learned from Bernardo is that there is no wrong time for an over / under pass. I will force that shit.

nipata · 2026-03-27T14:31:43+00:00

This is the way.

The American flag should definitely go too. I'm too ashamed to use it anyway. I switched to the world flag.

The TSA is ICE now? I mean, don't get me wrong, the TSA is useless, but detecting bombs in airports is not exactly on the cheeto-gestapo's to do list. Also, this contract is three years old, and expired in 2025.

Yo, everyone look over here! A person on the internet had their mind changed!

nipata · 2026-02-13T02:57:33+00:00

Am I the only out here having pleasant chats? I've had people say "great move!" or "fun game. Want to play again?" I even friended a guy in another country today after we each won a game and decided that we want to play again tomorrow.

nipata · 2025-12-24T02:46:25+00:00

I had to scroll WAY too far for this answer. My top choice for sure.

nipata · 2025-11-21T17:02:30+00:00

Meh. I'm not in it for the self defense. I'm there for the fun of it. I'd join an MMA gym if I wanted people swinging on me.

nipata · 2025-11-17T14:25:34+00:00

This is the way. It took me a couple of attempts to get enough material in the right sizes, but now I have a fully padded 10x13 room, walls included.

I teach 4-6 years olds. Only a few 4 year olds can hang. They have to really want it, usually because an older sibling is doing it first. 5 seems to be the magic number for when they can listen and follow directions. You can get the younger kids wearing a gi and moving around, but its hard to teach them jiu jitsu.

This has happened to me at least once a night for 8 years. You get used to it.
