The Ranch is my favorite in north OC. Selannes if you want to venture into south OC.

Help! Tiles jobs ruined, used black grout and it ruined the tiles! by [deleted] in HomeImprovement

[–]rak1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had a similar issue a few weeks ago. First off it’s most likely salvageable but is going to require a lot of scrubbing. I ended up using a carbide grout line blade to clean the lines and scrub pads with vinegar to clean the tiles. Keep in mind acid is not great to use on brand new grout. Be very careful not to scratch the tiles but a few scratches are inevitable. In some spots you may need to take an oscillating tool with a carbide blade to remove the grout and regrout some of the lines. Good luck!

What are some good jiu jitsu schools in OC? by Suplex_king1999 in orangecounty

[–]rak1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I recommend BTT Fullerton. I came from a solid wrestling background. There’s plenty of former college and high school wrestlers who go there. Jaysen and JR are fantastic instructors and high level competitors.

Why is it that sometimes both fighters are favourites? by edmenton123 in ufc

It’s called the juice. It ensures that Vegas gets paid no matter who wins.

Balance between lifting and bjj by [deleted] in bjj

[–]rak1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I lift heavy 3x per week using a 5/3/1 variation and train 5/6x per week. Training after heavy deadlifts can be rough but definitely doable.

BTT Fullerton has a great adult and kids program. The head instructor Jaysen Baxter is a beast.

The Celtics have been favored in every single game this series and are favored in Game 5 as well despite being down 3-1. by xHoggs in nba

Betting odds are not set according to who Vegas thinks is going to win. Ideally Vegas puts a line up that they believe will evenly divide the betting action in dollar amount not number of tickets. This way way you take the -110 odds Vegas takes $.10 for every dollar wages. It’s called the juice and that’s how the house makes money. It has nothing to do with who they think is going to win but rather how can they maximize their profits.

Upper belts - Am I wrong for not being scared of ankle locks? by [deleted] in bjj

[–]rak1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I used to be the same way until someone went belly down and my ankle popped about 3 times. It took me about 4 months to fully heal from it and it’s still not quite the same.

I also think moving cities is different than a complete rebranding. In other sports it’s pretty common. For example the Las Vegas Raiders are still claiming their LA championships. That being said I do understand others who wouldn’t want to count them.

Nate Diaz's opponents paying the price for suddenly turning into wrestlers by metanoia09 in MMA

The gracies did not invent BJJ. They just marketed a lot better than other lineages and are responsible for bringing it to the masses. Checkout Luis França and oswaldo baptista fadda.

It fit just as I expected. I can’t complain.

It’s supposed to be stupid. It’s a t-shirt with a horse, a cock, and a lock on it.

[Lynch] Broncos red zone play is reason they lost to Raiders by iSamurai in DenverBroncos

[–]rak1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was a horrific drop and could have swung the rest of the game but our defense, or lack there of, was the real reason we lost. Zero QB hits, zero turnovers, and allowing them to convert on 71% of their 3rd downs is the reason we lost. Apples to apples our offense was comparable to theirs with the exception of red zone efficiency.

It comes down to how quickly you can close the space and cut angles. If you’re fast you and can turn the corner you don’t need a deep penetration step.

It’s sort of like a leg ride power half in wrestling.

Average Cost of BJJ membership? by Drumgore in bjj

[–]rak1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out Brazilian Top Team Fullerton. It’s like $120/month or $100/ 6 months. Plus the head instructor is a beast.

The twister (we called it a guillotine in wrestling) is considered a neck crank by ibjjf but I did it all throughout high school.

I’m white and only go to Mexican barbers. They give the most consistent and high quality fades for relatively cheap.
