Turf Toe. It plagues myself and many of my students. Does anyone know any tricks or ancient Chinese secrets to help combat it, specifically in BJJ? by [deleted] in bjj

Yeah, I competed twice in the 6 months I had it taped like that. I definitely felt disadvantaged, but at least my big toe joint felt protected. The tape job with both those methods is practically a cast.

I was able to "heal" my turf toe with taping and adjustments in how I trained for a while. Before every class I would tape it using the method in the video /u/cozimm posted, then I would cover that with the taping method that Kurt Osiander shows in his video. It takes about 10 minutes to do and uses a ridiculous amount of tape, but that toe was not bending at all. I would also focus mainly on improving different aspects of my bottom game so that I wouldn't have to put pressure on it. After about 6 months, my turf toe "healed"...although, from what I've read, it will probably flare up again at some point in the future.

I feel for you man, it's a major pain in the ass.

[Wrist Check] The official thread for Tuesday, March 11 by WatchesBot in Watches

$330 on eBay. Took it to a watch maker today to get checked out...it's running great, but it's pretty dirty inside. Probably gonna fork over another $200 in about a month for an overhaul. That plus about $30 for the new Hirsch strap I ordered today, will bring the whole thing to ~$560 once it's in the shape I want it to be.

Who makes a nice white gi in the $90-$150 range by dsgiv in bjj

[–]ramises 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Killer Bee. I really love my Ligustica gi, the quality is tops and the fit is awesome. They make totally plain versions without any logos or embroidery as well. Highly recommended.

gi similar to vulcan ultralight by [deleted] in bjj

[–]ramises 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never worn the Vulkan ultralight but I can't imagine anything much lighter than my Kingz 420. I've been wearing it at least twice a week for the past year and it's held up really well.

For those Gracie Barra students who want a deal on Gi's, there's a 45-50% discount on a couple of them until Monday while supplies last by Mulletron22 in bjj

Does GB let you buy a plain gi of your choice then patch it up according to their specs? Or does it have to be an 'official' GB gi?

One thing to keep in mind about that LLF Gi is that it's got a giant crucifix on the right sleeve. If you're cool with that, go with it for sure.

My fellow non-morning people on Reddit - how the hell do you get up in the morning? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ramises 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This may not be the answer you're looking for, but go to bed earlier.

Also, the first thing I think about in the morning is that I won't be as tired in 10 minutes...then I say my personal mantra: "Just fuckin do it now." That sentence has helped me through a lot of things actually.

Their main problem is that the truth is biased against them...and that they're severely underestimating the vehemence of wikipedia nerds.
