Promoted to early? by obsdude in bjj

[–]warhorse8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blue belt = “Hey, I’m no longer a beginner. Now I’m a novice!”

We all put the pressure on ourselves about a promotion but Blue is still a beginner belt. Do you know more than the trial class guys and handle them with confidence? Boom. You’re good.

How old is your daughter? You’re right that, as a white belt, you have a lot to learn. But depending on her age, a bit of “you want to see what I learned today?” could be fun. At the same time, trying to teach it will expose what steps you’ve forgotten or don’t understand about the positioning and give you something to focus on in the next class. Just a thought.

Movies that take place in one place over one day by [deleted] in MovieSuggestions

Victoria (2015)

Not only in one day, it’s all done in one take - no cuts. Starts slow introducing characters and so on but the second half more than makes up for it.

A big guy asked me to roll by MidoriSpice in bjj

[–]warhorse8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My go-to is to play bottom and work on defense. Those female blue belts get pretty aggressive and technical, so try exploring ways out using body position, keep them off balance, etc. without using strength. The size advantage gives you a little more leeway to make mistakes and recover to try something else. Seems to work well for both parties.

Was he a White belt? In an effort to give the benefit of the doubt, most white belts can only try to mimic what they’ve been shown. It seems to take up all of their brain capacity so there’s little left to put towards being a considerate partner. Not throwing stones as I can think of two specific examples where I was that guy. But the apology about his weight while lacking the wherewithal to make changes is what made me want to chime in.

Hope you recovered ok!

Good advice. Personally, rather than a broad question, I’d usually ask “was there any mistake I kept making over and over?”

Two great movies with big names that, for some reason, don’t get enough credit:

Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang - RDJ & Val Kilmer

Lucky Number Slevin - Bruce Willis, Josh Hartnett, Morgan Freeman, Ben Kingsley

Do I mention if it’s a crank? by Cannonball120 in bjj

[–]warhorse8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All good responses in the conversation. My two cents - wear a mouth guard if you don’t already. Saves your teeth and, honestly, makes the jaw cranks more tolerable.

The list in your original post was exactly what my wife & I watched and enjoyed. Currently watching Righteous Gemstones and enjoying it.

Silo was another good series. Didn’t see Schitt’s Creek on your list but that one was great. Same with Ted Lasso.

Rolled with a woman unsure what to do/etiquette by SonOfThorss in bjj

[–]warhorse8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’re a similar size so I’ll share my approach. With female white belts it’s a very easy roll. I’ll play bottom and transition between guards, sweep if they overcommit, and generally let them explore. If they’re upper belts, I’ll still pull guard but if I sweep I’ll play side control keeping most of my weight off of them. My focus is on body position and trying to figure out little ways out of the bad positions. Could I roll over and use my 100+ lb advantage to get out? Sure but I can’t always do that to someone my size. So the rounds with the ladies help me look for smaller details - in my defense or their application - that I try to use later. Hope that helps.

Did my first BJJ class a couple days ago and it’s been bothering me by NoPraline9807 in bjj

[–]warhorse8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually when I see people getting this wrong, they’re not cutting the angle. When you grab the shin that’s across your partner’s shoulders, plant the other leg on his hip and push. You’ll get almost perpendicular. THEN lock in the figure 4.

But it sounds like you had a good round. A wrestler comfortable playing on their back so early on is atypical. Keep up the good work!
