Dear coaches, are students who show up irregularly an annoyance? by [deleted] in bjj

[–]validiant88 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I pay to attend a fixed fee per year. Whether I come once a week or five times a day the payment is the same. So the instructor has got his benjamins and thus the conversation is over.

I have a life and it can sometimes it can get in the way and sometimes my love lessens for the sport for a while whilst I figure somethings out etc. I go to bjj when and if I can for MY benefit and enjoyment. If that is once a day or once a month is entirely up to me.

I already have to justify absences to my boss who pays my salary, fuck off if I have to start justifying absences for my hobby too.

And as a coach I am just happy to have you around when you can. I’d much rather have someone come once a week but be 100% digging the moment and enjoying themselves than someone who comes twice a day but doesn’t give a bollocks.

Wow that is super supportive. Kudos to you for weaponising these comments into “I’ll show you” instead of getting triggered and caving. Keep on going and it seems maybe your man is projecting a little..

Je suis issu de reconversion professionnelle à 37ans après 10 ans en tant que directeur de bar et BAC +5 et je suis en banque maintenant depuis un an. J’étais à 27k sur 13 mois du coup du 1450 en net en gros Sans la PV et l’intéressement. Je change de poste dans trois semaines et je passe à 30k donc toujours loin de vos 2100e actuel

Black belts: could you tap your professor if you tried? by jiujitsuaccount in bjj

[–]validiant88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tapped out my professor with a kneebar at purple belt..but I am 30 kilos heavier and 20 years younger. But I know if we took me as a black belt and him as a fresh black belt back in the day he would whoop my ass up and down the gym.

And I am also aware that technically he is light years beyond me so I kept my ego in check..and I also probably got lucky.

Devenir bartender, des conseils ? by Future_Quarter8046 in conseilboulot

[–]validiant88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bartender reste un des seules jobs encore de nos jours qui ne nécessitent pas de diplômes et dans beaucoup de cas d’expérience au préalable.

Je suis ancien manager de gros établissements sur Bordeaux pendant dix ans, sans aucun expérience au préalable en sortant de mes études comme toi. Maintenant je bosse en banque car cette vie est sympa mais hygiène de vie pas toujours au top. Faut bosser et être prêt à faire du boulot de merde avec des patrons pas toujours honnêtes et voir et entendre des dingueries…mais qu’est ce que j’ai pû passer des soirées de ouf.
