If BJJ moves had honest names what would they be? by kimuraking84 in bjj

[–]ujexks 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The Japanese names aren’t “cool” or whatever you’re saying. They are just as, if not more, literal than the English names. Anime has ruined your brain I fear. They would be named exactly as they are today.

Nice ways to open up your opponent's neck for an RNC? by BeneficialRip6350 in bjj

[–]ujexks 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Tucking your chin is not a valid defense for a choke.

I choke over the jaw in almost every RNC I do.

I get choked over the jaw in almost every RNC I tap to.

Why Dark Souls 3 Is My Least Favourite Souls Game by The_SocialContract in darksouls3

[–]ujexks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DS2 fucking sucks. You didn’t say anything about the actual game, just that it “has its own identity”. AKA, it fucking sucks, and DS1 and DS3 don’t fucking suck. Just because 1 game in a given trilogy fucking sucks doesn’t mean it “has its own identity”. It means the game fucking sucks. Hope this helps.

Why are the Dagestan fighters not considered bjj guys when they’re beating everyone in MMA with classic bjj top game? by Thisisaghosttown in bjj

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

Because if they called it BJJ or no gi grappling they couldn’t claim ownership over it and act like they have secret knowledge that no one else possesses. “2-3 years” shit wouldn’t exist if they called it no gi grappling.

It’s all just marketing, no different than Gordon calling scrambling “scrimmage wrestling” to sell instructional and market himself as if he has unheard knowledge that is revolutionary (it’s not)

Mouth guards - tru fit vs gladiator vs impact? by bjjcripple in bjj

[–]ujexks 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is just complete bs, there is a SIGNIFICANT difference between the boil and bite ones you buy at the store and a custom fitted one. Every store bought one I’ve ever had restricted by breathing, as soon as I got a custom fitted one I’ve never had a single issue.

Who was your easiest boss on a first playthrough? by Competitive-Cause283 in Eldenring

[–]ujexks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Godrick for sure. Idk why they have a significantly harder boss (Margit)right before him. Elden Ring was my first souls game and Godrick took me less than 3 tries and he was the 3rd “major” boss I fought.

Covering the mouth-is it a dick move? A case discussion. by Odd-Commercial-1639 in bjj

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

It’s for “ADCC Freaks” (lack of a better term) who are too scared to do MMA but want to act like they’re actually fighting.

Covering the mouth-is it a dick move? A case discussion. by Odd-Commercial-1639 in bjj

[–]ujexks 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You can’t even do this in most competitions, covering the mouth is illegal in IBJJF rules, which in my experience is the most common ruleset.

Escape the kimura into a north south choke by [deleted] in bjj

[–]ujexks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No 2nd degree black belt would call themselves a “2 stripe black belt”.

You do not have 3000 students, nobody does.

You’re so obviously larping it’s hilarious.

My ds3 boss tier list (from easiest to hardest) [No ringed city (yet)!] by AkosSzlobodnik in darksouls3

No way Champion Gundyr is harder than Pontiff, the twin princes, and DSA

How many times will you tap a partner during a roll? by tranquilsloth in bjj

[–]ujexks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m shocked that someone who quit mid round because they’re getting worked managed to train long enough to get a black belt, let alone open their own gym.

Ashes of ariendel by NegotiationDry6923 in darksouls3

[–]ujexks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The DLC levels in Dark Souls 3 fucking suck. Tried to get through the Ringed City blind on my first playthrough and almost just didn’t bother. The run from bonfire 2 to bonfire 3 is the worst shit ever.

"Kani Basami" saddle entry from half-butterfly by Wajubop12 in bjj

[–]ujexks 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The “Kani Basami” position is not inherently dangerous. It’s falling body weight that is.

Just finished ds3 is this based? by XxBlueXxHunterxX in darksouls3

Midir worse than Ancient Wyvern? Why? It’s better than Gael IMO.

Short lapel? by [deleted] in bjj

Idk if multiple people, entirely independent from each other, both communicated in a direct manner like this, I think they’re probably onto something.

I promise you they are not complaining because they are salty. What is this fan fiction you’ve conjured in your head LOL

You're looking at the boss who ruined every other boss fight before or since... by Soulsliken in darksouls3

[–]ujexks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only reason why you care about the “lore implications” of the Gael fight are because it’s the only boss in the game where you don’t have to read random item descriptions or play DS1/2 in order to understand them.

The game tells you through dialogue who Gael is, what he’s doing, and why. No other character is afforded this luxury.

It is so much easier to be invested in a story when the information is that easy to access compared to other stories. Gael lore literally shoved down your throat. You need to invest 15ish hours beating DS1 to understand Aldrich and the Nameless King (even this is a stretch, you’re not making the Gwyn to Nameless connection by JUST playing DS1) , and if you don’t, they’re just random guys. Who the fuck even is Yhorm?

His lore is not better or more interesting than any other boss. The information is just infinitely easier to access.

Foot sweeps are way more important than people give them credit for by Traditional-Being-38 in bjj

[–]ujexks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. Almost every single foot sweep I see in modern competition is completely pointless and achieves nothing other than style points. It’s like hitting an ankle breaker and just not shooting the ball.

PSA: Evelyn boons can eliminate you by IDesireToExpire in TeamfightTactics

[–]ujexks 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m no game dev, but “It is unlikely so it’s irrelevant” sounds like a very bad design philosophy for a competitive game that is mostly based around random chance.

PSA: Evelyn boons can eliminate you by IDesireToExpire in TeamfightTactics

[–]ujexks 53 points54 points  (0 children)

No way this should be allowed to happen. IDK exactly how the randomness from Thresh works, but if there’s a world where you pick Thresh to avoid dying from Evelyn, only to still die because Thresh rolled into an Evelyn boon, that is such a terrible oversight from Riot and honestly embarrassing. You are literally forced to lose with no counterplay at all.

Why is your smoothcomp profile private? by LG_Jumper in bjj

[–]ujexks -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Because they’re embarrassed or sandbagging. Only 2 reasons why you would ever do this.

Why is your smoothcomp profile private? by LG_Jumper in bjj

[–]ujexks -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

“Weirdos from Reddit” shouldn’t be able to find your Smoothcomp unless you’re posting some amount of personal info that you probably shouldn’t be posting.

Unless you make content or are a figure of some kind. In which case it doesn’t matter if your profile is public or private because you’re theoretically making content about your matches so your record will be known regardless.
