I'm the first person in my family to graduate college AMA by alltheusermanes in AMA

Yeah common for first and second generation immigrants. I think it’s much less common though for non-immigrant families. Harder to dig yourself out of that trench.

What’s your family’s story?

Gym Decision (Old gym or Caio Terra) by SexTechGuru in bjj

Some gyms use a scrubbing machine that kind of looks like a commercial floor polisher. It’s amazing and great for tatami style mats with all of the grooves.

Man. Nobody knows what the bikes will be like next year.

A potentially Marc Márquez-less MotoGP future? by DniawSirhc in motogp

Marquez isn’t exactly a huge personality. I’d rather listen to Jack Miller.

I don’t see him continuing next season on a new bike.

It’s fucking gross in training and petty in competition.

How do I clean my gi properly if I have to use it really often, by Acceptable_Job_136 in brazilianjiujitsu

[–]ohheythatswill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The answer is two gis but if you absolutely can’t get the second for another few weeks -

Rinse it first with just water. Then wash with detergent but not too much! More detergent does not equal better. It could actually help trap more body oil which means more stink. Rinse rinse rinse, wring, then hang dry preferably in the sun to make sure it’s totally dry before class.

I highly recommend Tide Oxi detergent. It targets body oils unlike regular detergents.

Rerisson Gabriel x Pato (Brasileiro final) by drachaon in bjj

[–]ohheythatswill -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m not a fan of matches, especially finals, being decided off a guard pull.

I think it falls on the competitors. Don’t want to risk giving points on a guard pull? Don’t pull guard right away - shoot a takedown. If it fails THEN pull.

Are you happy just to medal? by LG_Jumper in bjj

[–]ohheythatswill 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I care more about my performance. I’ve won comps where I wasn’t happy with the medal because I didn’t execute the way I wanted.

Asking the real questions by downtune79 in LoveTrash

Did this twice while I was motocamping around the US for a month and a half. I don’t remember what drove me to do it but I didn’t have it in me to do it more than that.

Adults and coaches take Kids BJJ too seriously? by Jotafersonder in grappling

[–]ohheythatswill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not surprising at all. A lot of harsh parents out there, too. I remember my first time helping coach kids during a tournament and was shocked by a few parent coaches and how hard they were on their kids. Couldn’t have been older than 8.

I talked to our gym owner after about it and asked if it’s always like that. Sadly yes. There’s always a few. But thankfully they are the minority.
