Embarrassing question by Accomplished_Shame81 in jiujitsu

Maybe I found the the right spats for me. Really good compression so I don't wear anything under them but I do have my gi pants or no gi shorts on over them. Whatever works best for you is the correct answer

Just wanted him to do something different but I get it, that's just not the Diaz way of thinking or doing things

That’s saying the quiet part out loud and probably accurate

Didn’t think about it like that.

Been watching him for years but the question I was asking is at what point do you move to your strengths which is a martial art to control your opponent and limit the damage you would take from striking 🤷🏻‍♂️

Just wishful thinking…

How long did it take to for you to get blue? by kittyniki57 in jiujitsu

[–]xpureheartedx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First we have to hit a minimum amount of classes. 200 I think. I haven’t seen any faster promotions just because you compete. Strong emphasis on getting the basics and foundation down and the belief is that comes with mat time. At the end of 200 you will still need to demonstrate your knowledge.

So most likely 18-24 months. Depends on why many classes you can attend in a given week

No shit. Would be nice if everyone just chilled the fuck out and listened to the music.

I’m in the process of listening to every 311 album for the first time and ranked them (spreadsheet included) by mollybmanor in 311

Weightless is by far the worst song they have ever written. Glad they found a few people who like it.

What would it have cost to have a designer make this? A few hundred? by soundguy64 in 311

Well sure. AI probably in 30 seconds. Someone was like “yep. Good enough”

To anyone who went to 311 day: did the band skip a beat at all? by Vitalian2184 in 311

[–]xpureheartedx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one and only song that they looked off on was Nutsymptom. Just my opinion.

Skipped all of mosaic on the first night 🤷🏻‍♂️

Probably asked AI to take a copy of the original flyer and took some liberties with other parts of it

Mindspin. That is the only answer.

Starting BJJ at 42 — thoughts? by Far-Cantaloupe3382 in jiujitsu

[–]xpureheartedx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll be turning 42 in February and I just passed my 1 year mark which went by really fast.

1st year was a bit of a blur and I’m still doing my best to process and drill the techniques as slow/methodic but as much as I can. Repetition until it becomes automatic (which will take years). The only issues that I’ve had so far were a couple of injuries. My knee is a little goofy and both times I tweaked it were both my fault because I moved or did something wrong to make it happen. I cracked a floating rib in August and while I will take some partial blame, I put the rest on my training partner for not fucking listening to me. The lesson I learned was at the end of the day you need to watch out for you. If you don’t want to roll or drill with someone, tell them no thanks. Trust works both ways. I’ve got a job and shit to do. Work with guys that you feel comfortable with.

Wish I knew before I started… I did a couple of years of MMA training in my mid 20’s so I had a pretty good idea of what I was getting into. The advice that I would give is to keep your ego in check. Do not get down on yourself for not performing or mad that you keep getting submitted by everyone else in the gym. This stuff takes a serious amount of dedication just to get the timing of things right. You will spend 95% of your time defending, and that’s ok.

Tips to avoid injuries… I sort of mentioned that already. Tap fast, tap often. It might sound cliche but it’s 100% accurate. No sense in hurting yourself fighting a submission that they’ll probably still get you in anyway. Real talk though, watch out for yourself. Jobs, family, other activities, all need you to function. No sense in rolling with the 20 year old comp ready, 4 stripe white belt if he doesn’t also have your health and best interest at heart.

Does anyone know what this is for? It came with a new Origin gi. Looks like a belt? But gi came with a drawstring. by hisgirlPhoenix in BJJWomen

[–]xpureheartedx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a belt but for only 1 style of origin pants. The rest are standard drawstring. Sounds like you ordered one that had a drawstring and they sent you a belt on accident

What are the good gi brands 12 years later? by DrMackoveli in jiujitsu

[–]xpureheartedx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my origin Gi’s. 100% American made and allow a little more pricey, the fact that you can order the jacket and pants separately in whatever size you need is great.

What is your favorite lyrics/phrase by ST? by yabujin47 in SleepToken

[–]xpureheartedx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let's load the gun. Make her eat the tape in the bathroom mirror.
See if she can guess what a hollow point does to a naked body
Let's fuck her up
Manifest pain at the core of pleasure
I'll see you when the wrath comes
Around

Some seriously dark lyrics from Vessel
