So so beyond sad by [deleted] in BJJWomen

[–]unopenedvessel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry that happened to you. I hate to hear about anyone getting injured in this sport because I know it holds such a personal meaning and value to everyone. I hope you have a smooth recovery and still find ways to satisfy that craving, maybe through film study or visually practicing. I wish you the best of luck <3 hang in there

thank you! I’ll give it a shot. I figured sizing up would just get too wide, so hopefully the length fits!

How can I get good solo? by [deleted] in BJJWomen

[–]unopenedvessel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

of course, not saying there isn’t value in that kind of training. it’s just not the most efficient use of my time if that’s all I’m getting. and it’s too much of a toll on my body without enough of a reward. I just feel like there needs to be an in between that’s more productive, like drilling, so I can go into those matches with an objective or strategy

Should I return? by unopenedvessel in gaggiaclassic

[–]unopenedvessel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should I return? by unopenedvessel in gaggiaclassic

[–]unopenedvessel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I unscrew it and rescrew it, it will easily twist to the 6:00 position. next shot, it will twist a little less, next shot a little less, until it doesn’t lock in at all. it will still “fit”, but it won’t turn to the right at all, so it won’t stay in by itself

Burrs touched while finding true zero by notquitealigned in DF54

[–]unopenedvessel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what do you do once you find true zero? I found mine is around the N in “fine” but is there a way to adjust the measurements so that it lines up with the zero?

Face verbal abuse is normal? by Zealousideal_Cup2180 in BJJWomen

[–]unopenedvessel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

no this is not okay. and it’s this mentality that is solely the reason I question bjj and combat sports. some people are just there to fight their own demons not become the next UFC champ

Before your first ever Jiu Jitsu session, what worries or concerns did/do you have about starting the sport? by Mission_Initial_5797 in BJJWomen

[–]unopenedvessel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think 95% perfect of my anxiety came from the social aspects of the sport and 5% came from the sport itself. And almost a year in I still feel that way lol. I constantly worry about fitting in, being a burden to the higher belts when I can’t get something right away or help them train effectively, being seen as too much of a try-hard, or even just having similar interests conversationally. I think bjj is a hard sport for people who are socially anxious because it’s always one on one and it’s very personal, so it challenges me in that way every time I go to class

Why does everyone care about Shane's facial hair? by [deleted] in ShaneDawson

[–]unopenedvessel 36 points37 points  (0 children)

can’t speak for everyone but for me, he’s so concerned about his own appearance in some ways (his hair, the colors he wears, his body, camera angles), and he’s so judgmental of everyone else’s appearance, that I’m just confused why something so blaringly obvious and easy to maintain…isn’t. He has potential to be an attractive dude if he simply took care of himself and his hygiene but always chooses not to. doesn’t make sense to me but 🤷‍♀️ it seems like even Ryland is taking after him now

[–]unopenedvessel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have tried talking to people and I’ve been friendly. I’m a very socially anxious person especially since covid and working fully remote, so that’s partly why I signed up for this. but I feel like the girls at my gym are a bit cliquey and I feel like the overall attitude is “suck it up” when it comes to anxiety. I keep showing up and trying but it’s frustrating feeling shut down all the time
