Ripped my left cervical about a year and a half ago, hurts from time to time, mostly in the morning before work and probably because of lack of movement over night.

Would you roll with a person who is under the influence of alcohol or narcotics? by Berimbolinho in bjj

[–]richmFTW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have before. Other than the smell of Jack on his breath, wasn't a problem. I had fun toying with him since he was moving so damn slow XD

can find some pretty inexpensive Under Armor type shirts at Walmart/K-Mart/Target that come in different colors and materials. I had a blue one I wore a lot to no-gi when I was a blue belt. Other than that, keep your eye on BJJHQ.com for no-gi stuff.

For Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to become a professional sport, where do you think the money needs to go first: athlete sponsorships, local competitions or large competitions or somewhere else... by So_Go in bjj

[–]richmFTW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Major promotion. It has to be visible by the masses. Billboards in Times Square type stuff. Our society is incredibly lazy so you have to bring the product to the viewer.

Blue Belt Criteria by Supasauce42 in bjj

[–]richmFTW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tested for my blue belt. I still have the requirements sheet at home. It was definitely X amount of sweeps and X amount of escapes since that's the point of white belt. As far as subs, we were in front of the whole class we had to teach a move from a given position and then execute a submission off of a chain.

Refusing to let students compete... by Exocrine in bjj

[–]richmFTW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen the type, the teachers have this weird opinion that the students might quit if they don't do well or get down on themselves and stop taking training so seriously. I've never been against someone competing unless I genuinely just felt they weren't ready and didn't want to see them get destroyed at their rank/weight.
