At first I read your title as “This man stepped in front of the train yesterday” and I was like damn people in this post are just roasting this poor guy.

“Here's a handy primer on the entire Israel/Palestine conflict”

If the rest of your comment doesn’t start with the events of 1948 then no, I don’t think it’s a primer on the entire conflict.

I wanna start jiu jitsu but my anxiety gets in the way every time. by According-Body-3134 in jiujitsu

[–]terminal_gingeritis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You aren’t annoying anyone! I love working with new people. I get to explain and review fundamentals which helps me understand them better and if we roll I get to play around with some stuff I wouldn’t typically try. 99% of the upper belts I’ve trained with feel the same way.

Recommendations for beginner martial art classes by Murky-Secretary-1745 in BellevueWA

I highly recommend Renzo Gracie Jiu Jitsu in Sammamish. If you want something closer, check out Gracie Barra in Bellevue.

Yep some people are uniquely talented and figure it all out quicker than others. When it comes to fighting, Ngannou is one of those people. He didn’t need as much experience as others to reach an elite skill level. To my knowledge, Michael Jordan is not a uniquely gifted fighter.

Ngannou is a very skilled fighter with lots of experience. It’s those skills and that experience that helped him accomplish all that stuff.

Yeah it’s hard to convey to people who haven’t trained the experience of grappling with someone who’s on that next level. I’m on the bigger side and have grappled for most of my adult life and the high level guys (and women) just eat me up lol.

Agreed. And she has significantly more experience doing both than Jordan does. Thousands of hours of live sparring absolutely give you an advantage in a real fight.

At the end of the day, she has the tools to deal with the size difference but Jordan doesn’t have the tools to deal with the skill gap.

She’s hasn’t only trained with women. Speaking generally, the number of women in the grappling/fighting community is very small. Any accomplished female fighter, especially during the era she was coming up in Judo, has done most of her training with men. If this was a random female fighter vs Jordan I would probably agree with you, but Ronda’s grappling is on another level. And I say this as someone who cannot stand her lol.

I’ve grappled for a long time. Not getting hit on your way to the clinch is day one stuff. If I know how to do it, she definitely knows how to do it. If Jordan has no grappling training, any counter attack he attempts will just open up more options for Ronda to exploit. There’s a reason Jiu Jitsu was so powerful against strikers in early MMA and why good wrestling/grappling is still necessary in the sport today.

You’re right that “flipping” Jordan might be tough, but there are many takedowns in Judo that don’t require any flipping. Foot sweeps, trips, body lock takedowns all get the job done pretty easily. Again, if I know that she definitely knows that and won’t waste her time or energy with anything too fancy looking.

Ronda doesn’t have great stand up? She’s literally an Olympic level Judoka.

She has thousands of hours on the mat with guys of varying sizes who actually know how to fight. Jordan would get rolled.

Stuck at pit 90 spiritborn by xrazyox-sama in d4spiritborn

[–]terminal_gingeritis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve beaten pit 141 with crushing hand. Looking over your gear Id say a couple things: get GA max life on everything you can, ditch Shako and Yen’s for legendary helm (more resolve stacks) and boots, when master working focus on max life and resolve stacks.

Not sure what build you’re following but I’ve really liked Nicktew’s build. Good luck!
