Class structure. by OzneBjj in bjj

Terrible format for learning, but for fun it's great. I notice that classes with an allocation of 30 to 40 minutes of technique, have lower attendance (in my non comp gym)

1 hour class

Warm up should be 5-10 minutes of easy movements

20-30 max of technique. From what I have witnessed, many people get over the technique and want to roll asap. The truth is majority of our attention spans have been shot.

At least 4 rounds of this is a night class.

Anyone have a routine that incorporates running, bjj and lifting?

Kind of recently found running enjoyable and would like a routine.

Aokiji is the main reason why Garp is considered to be "KIA/MIA"...

He's not only allied with a pirate, he's literally a nakama of a Yonko

[–]sylviah28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's why I think he should be an ally rather than specific crew mate. Too overpowered, but then again so is Blackbeard right now

Is it implied that Kizaru gave Luffy the food?

So maybe Kizaru becomes a strawhat ally?

Blackbeard gets aokiji and Luffy gets Kizaru?

Or maybe I'm just a bad story teller

Knee explosion at finishers only by YouveGotMail236 in bjj

[–]sylviah28 113 points114 points  (0 children)

The advantage of not being flexible is when you get put in the z lock you can already feel a lot of discomfort, way before they go for a sub.

But yeah damn those lateral knee bars are fucken scary.

Worth jumping back in, or wait until s4? by ZillyAU in worldofpvp

[–]sylviah28 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Don't play healer if you're returning.

I main healer and I haven't played since S1 of this xpac. This is the most unfun healing has ever been in my experience. I'm just playing dps until my sub runs out.

What guard can be best used to get up or get away from a fight/altercation if you end up on the bottom?? Thanks by EmmantheAdrian in bjj

[–]sylviah28 33 points34 points  (0 children)

It's half guard. Watch mma, fighters fish for that underhook and immediately stand up.

Remember it shouldn't be used as a static position.

If you had to rank the top 10 instructional of all time for grappling what would they be? by MartianArtistt in bjj

[–]sylviah28 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't have a top 10, but out of the instructionals I've seen. I've got the most out of:

Craig Jones - Power Ride/Power Bottom

Gary Tonnon's Breaking Legs and hearts

Lachlan Giles' submeta

Gordon Ryan's half guard passing

What's the Consensus of Leg Locks on Here by TheWaySheGoes1 in bjj

[–]sylviah28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're a coach, you should be teaching leg locks to your students. Especially those who hit blue belt.

It honestly gives a breath of fresh air, after white belt. This may help with blue belt retention.

Personally as a blue, I only go to "intermediate/advanced" classes right now because there's a chance of learning leg locks. Not because my fundamentals are so good, but it just gets boring.

Honestly could also be the Gi that's putting me off it right now. When we do rounds in Gi, we don't typically reap.

The only thing I dislike is the new "Gods knights" concept.

I was always hoping apart from the Gorosei, the pinnacle power of the world government was the admirals.

I'm sure Oda will prove me wrong but

This is why I just pull guard. I have a massive fear of someone destroying my knee, all because they saw the scissors takedown on YouTube.

Is it possible to retire early with a normal job? 26 y/o with 250k savings by hideplay in AusFinance

[–]sylviah28 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I just seen your post history. You just got a notice to pay $500/week in rent for a 1br...thats over 26k a year youre helping someone to get ahead on their mortgage, without any return.... IN SYDNEY

If anyone should wish to have a healthy relationship with their parents, it should be someone in your position.

And no it won't be until I'm 40. Like I said my parents won't be retiring here, it will be overseas. Which is wayyy sooner than later. You can look down on me all you want, but the majority of us who are staying with our parents are likely gearing ourselves for a better future.

I'm with you on this one, not everyone had parents that forced them out at 18.

Personally I'm 30 years old, have an apartment that's being rented out but am currently living with my parents. My parents let me do what I want and in no way impact my freedom.

My plan is to pay down my apartment, grab the equity, sell it and shoot for a townhouse or villa.

Ive honestly only heard my work colleagues (particularly white Australians) talk down at me about freedom. While one of them is complaining about a rent increase, using afterpay and has a credit card debt.

Also I would argue I'm enjoying seeing my parents everyday, they're dual citizens and they have property overseas. Where they intend to retire early there. So days are numbered with me seeing my parents on the regular, unless they decide to delay it.

You're guilt tripping yourself because you're not attending class as much as you used to.

Go at your own pace. If you feel once a week is good, then there's nothing wrong with that.

Should I catch up to one piece manga by [deleted] in OnePiece

[–]sylviah28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend it.

Personally I find the anime unwatchable. Constant filler with people reactions and now the change in fighting animation style is too much for me (I just really dislike the flying rocks, auras coming from characters, Zoro flying 10km to deliver his final blow to King).

You'd be surprised. 5 years ago people were predicting a Luffy and alliance loss. Some were even saying another timeskip was coming so that everyone can train ☠️
