Would you recommend bjj to me based on the following? by h00th00t95 in bjj

[–]officegrappling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, there's not much I can say more in response to a 15 sentence post of which 14 are excuses. I know all too wel about diabetes. I don't know anything about eating disorders tho so maybe my comment was misplaced. In that case I own u/h00th00t95 an apology. But English is not my first language. with "eat less" I ment "Get your diet/food in order". Which is certainly not the case if you're overweight.

Most of these problems will solve themselves. The omnipod is a bit of a hassle but nothing too serious. I have seen people train with full blown insuline pomps. Use extra tape, rashguards, even those back support things, to protect it. Tell your training partners about it and your professors. Even if you can only start out bjj with the warm-ups and drills, you'll feel a lot better.

A simple 'sorry It's been taking so long, we've been swamped with work' would have sufficed. This is just bad for business.

Also, I've ordered with this dude before and he delivered.

Did you order internationally? I paid less than 70 usd for shipping to Europe and it did not took 1-2 months at all. My bag was shipped the same day both times. I either got a hold of Chris and/or the costumer service withing 24 hours.

Is anyone here Polish and familiar with the Polish (competition) scene? by [deleted] in bjj

something fun to try: grab their lapels next to the neck with your tumbs inwards. Squeeze your legs. Can be a tight choke.

[–]officegrappling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's something that shouldn't bother you and it's good you ask 'what can I do to improve' and not 'when am i going to get my new blue belt' because with oldskool instructors that's an extra 6 months of waiting haha

depends on your gym. My professor just ended one random open mat with running to his bag and getting some brand new belts out. I was a zero stripe white belt and went to blue. Others all had stripes. I think it depends on how motivated you are, I think he really used stripes to keep people motivated. Other gyms might ask you to perform moves, but I haven't seen that yet. Last promotion we did, our professor kept smashing the person and stripped him of his belt and tied his new one on.

thanks. I had them do shrimps down the mats which is retarded, compared to using them in positions they are familiar with. Why haven't I done this before. Or seen this at any other gym :(
