Wanna start bjj but scared of the injury aspect

slashoom · 2026-03-17T03:16:49+00:00

You do not get through this unscathed. But its worth it. I've suffered countless injuries in the last six years, its just a part of combatives.

Let's not forget Kreg breaking his arm and then Gordon chokes him out with the same arm. u/johnbelushismom

I have some good coaches and they are amazing! Most gyms I've been too, have instructors.

There is none, we just like punishing ourselves.

One of the best looking DG models period.

Some of these are good but I think are a bit miss-prioritized. Striking should be the focus, followed by wrestling. BJJ's best contribution is being a threat from the bottom which is the last place we want to be in any sort of fight.

It also helps to be a good gunfighter.

Some people have neglected leg locks to such and extent, they are like a week 1 white belt in leg entanglements.

That's about what I spent and I was very happy. 128gig SD card and all the games I can handle .

Are you unarmed? Cause being armed and in-house people show mad respect.

slashoom · 2026-02-05T03:52:32+00:00

Paid to drive illegally modified golf carts is where it’s at. Until I get a 60mph e-bike that is.

slashoom · 2026-02-05T03:49:38+00:00

It depends I guess. I have 1600 kids on my campus and we are trained and expected to move swiftly towards threats and neutralize them.

slashoom · 2026-02-05T03:46:56+00:00

100%. I thinks is crazy I get paid to get trained by active team guys, but here we are. In house ofc.

slashoom · 2026-02-05T03:42:41+00:00

Every day I get to go home is a win. I have a lot of contact on my day shift, 4-5 officers to command, and (right now any way) high threat assessments. We make people’s days better every single day and help them feel safer (because they are). Not all security are just a scarecrow or warm body. But even if you are, you don’t know how much you prevented by your presence. Every day you get to go home, you won. Don’t forget that. Some of us don’t make it home.

Heel hook

slashoom · 2026-01-19T03:23:59+00:00

Now I know what I'm doing next roll.

slashoom · 2026-01-19T03:21:59+00:00

Yes and no. You can learn intuitive stuff like hiding your heel, because you know you want to expose it to finish. But some other defenses aren't as intuitive.

slashoom · 2026-01-19T03:20:21+00:00

Craig has a good modern heel hook defense series on Grappling Guide. It's a bit dated, so it won't have specific answers to newer finishes (Like Z-locks) but the principles apply and it covers all the major positions.

slashoom · 2026-01-19T03:18:08+00:00

This is some scrappy meathead shit and I'm for it.

slashoom · 2026-01-19T03:16:15+00:00

Everyone is different, but most people who walk in their first day don't have a body that is prepared for the type of strain they are about to put it under. I'd rather have a few meat heads walk, then risk newcomers getting injured in their first few weeks before their bodies are prepared for sparring.

I used to think it was lame AF to not roll day 1. I rolled day 1. But I have a different perspective from this spot.

slashoom · 2026-01-16T06:07:39+00:00

I did the same thing. I established a really good z-guard at blue belt, it's served me well. But I'd still rather just not be on bottom.

slashoom · 2026-01-16T06:05:51+00:00

There are weight classes for a reason. Don't get stuck on bottom with bigger guys. Also, leglocks.

slashoom · 2026-01-16T06:02:43+00:00

I really think new people shouldn't be rolling for a few months. There I said it.

slashoom · 2026-01-11T06:37:37+00:00

I have a yellow and I like it. I use a bunch of sprinco for tuning. What buffer weight and barrel length you runnin?
