All this talk about protecting your junk and tonight I get kneed hard in the rear end in a top hat. I'm pretty sure this is what a hemorrhoid feels like. It's still sore and itchy as hell. Suggestions?

Calamine lotion? Apparently: "useful to sooth and protect damaged or tender skin and for relief from the itching associated with insect bites and other skin irritations"

I think it might be story time. How the gently caress do you get kneed in the cornhole?

I also occasionally tap people by stretching them out with a body triangle and pressing my cup into their spine, and it doesn't hurt me at all. I'd be keen to see what kind of cup you have. Can you describe how it sits? Where the edges contact your skin?

I've tapped people with the cup many times and it just feels cheap. Even a lovely triangle can lead to a tap because you smash the other person face with your carbon reinforced cup. Back mount? Just smash your cup in their spine! Arm bar? Here's a little platform that increase leverage by a poo poo ton. If I was just doing BJJ then that would be fine, but since it's not allowed in judo competition I try to learn how to roll without one (except when we're drilling uchimata or some specific guard passes). Anyway I highly recommend shock doctors cup. I have their hockey compression shorts that come with a pocket with a cup and I find them extremely comfortable. I'm planning on buying their grappling specific compression shorts with said pocket in the future. \/ \/ choked on my piece of toast when I reached the Calamine + girlfriend + rear end in a top hat combo \/ \/ KingColliwog fucked around with this message at 16:07 on Feb 1, 2012 |

Enter knee on rear end in a top hat. Feels kind of better after my morning poo poo. My girlfriend has some calamine lotion I'm up for trying that.

never a cup; always a mouthguard. Cups hinder your ability to execute proper submissions such as armbars/triangles, relying on cup instead of squeeze. Ive never been tagged in the balls kickboxing. Just dont let it happen.

The worst part about training so much is all the loving laundry. I fell asleep before taking my gi and clothes out of the washer last night and now they've got that disgusting musty smell. hopefully another wash with a bunch of baking soda will take care of it. any other tips for getting that smell out? this happens like once a month

Might need to wash it twice if the rinse mode of your washer suck. Wouldn't put the vinegar and the baking soda at the same time though

KingColliwog posted:That's why I don't like cup most of the time. I've tapped people with the cup many times and it just feels cheap. Ditto for this. I haven't used a cup in the last two years, and the only times I've ever hurt my nads is when I apply an armbar the wrong way. If you squeeze your knees together like you should, there's no actual pressure on your crotch at all. Instead of a cup I use the jockstrap that came with the cup to keep my equipment in place, and a pair of compression shorts over that again to tuck it all nicely together. According to IBJJF rules (which accounts for all gi and (and recently) nogi tournaments in Norway), you're not allowed to wear a cup anyway, and I'd much rather not get used to tapping people out with a cup, or tapping out due to a lack of a cup, when the cup is unavailable in both competition and real life situations. Kumo Jr. posted:That being said, even beyond protecting my junk, at the very least it makes the experience of grappling much less gay. I'm not homophobic, but I prefer to grapple without my junk rubbing directly up on my opponent. I give approximately 0% poo poo about this myself, and if other people feel that way, I might be willing to give about 5% consideration before I keep on not using a cup anyway.

Seems to work on everything but neoprene, but they sell special poo poo for that. e: I use a steel cup. I've only grappled for a couple months now, but I've had enough knees to the groin in that short time to convince me it was a great investment.

the stink develops when they're damp for extended periods of time and bacteria has a chance to grow. spraying them with rubbing alcohol seems to kill the bacteria. to prevent the smell in the first place, always let them dry out after using them, and you can also stuff a sock full of cedar chips (hamster bedding?) and jam them in there

Leaving them sitting out instead of rotting in a gym bag is probably a nice start, but other than rubbing alcohol, I've also taken to putting my gloves in the freezer overnight, and then just leaving them out for a few days after that. This usually takes care of any lingering smell.

Sounds like good advice, unfortunately if I try sticking my gloves in the freezer that's probably going to lead to domestic issues that would make stinky gloves the least of my worries.

The top is above my dick, bottom is below my balls, and the sides press in just beside my balls. It starts wide at the top and tapers down. I think it's a biking cup, because it looks a lot like this one (borderline  ) http://www.timberwoof.com/jockwoof/cups/bike.html

Mordiceius posted:1http://www.idahoujj.com/ So I stopped by two of these places yesterday (the first place and the fourth) and I am going back to watch one of the classes at the first place tonight. The 4th place is too much MMA focus. Their building is nice with lots in it but it with them it is "Pay $70 a month and just show up to whatever classes you want" and there isn't a real structure to it. Nor do they separate adults out into their own class. The first place looks like it will be real awesome. It has a very structured schedule and very hands on instructors. I'm really excited to go back and observe tonight.

BJJ is grappling, so they basically verbed the word "grappling"

Maybe the distinction comes from a resistance to use the term 'Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu'? Judo has a fairly insular community so I'm not terribly familiar, but isn't there a significant number of people who don't like to say that they do BJJ but rather that they are just a submission grappler? i.e. guys who think doing gi is lame

I've heard you can air out boxing gloves by sticking them on some traffic/soccer cones and air them out that way. Has anyone tried that?

Commas are the devils work. So yesterday I had a great session, finally got a sub in on someone while rolling (a triangle of all things, we've never practised them I've only seen pictures) I guess it was more due to rolling with someone who had been doing it as long as me rather than people with more experience. However I woke up this morning with a weird pain on the inside side of my knee, it kinda hurts in a weird way only if I fully extend my leg, walking seems fine. Should I go to practice today or leave it till next Tuesday?

Yeah I ended up not going and instead got into an arguement with a friend of a friend who insisted BJJ wasn't a real martial art "because it's from Brazil"... I got the triangle from the weird comedy of errors only novices can do, the instructor walked past just after I mucked up trying to get an armbar and just said "try doing a triangle" and watched me do it. I'd never have tried doing it otherwise. As for my knee I'm not sure what caused it, it might have been the kneebar someone else did on me, I'll not wuss out next time and try to catch up this weekend. Thanks for the help guys  VVVVV it's my fourth week, I didn't like it, never seen one before. Antinumeric fucked around with this message at 00:38 on Feb 3, 2012 |
