Not to wrest this thread back to minor victories rather than important information, but today I learnt my range for shooting and hit the next 7/8 takedowns, some of whom were against guys doing BJJ far longer than me, and it ruled. And I have been garbage at takedowns in the last two years. These small improvements are why everyone should do BJJ or wrestling. They're just so rewarding.

I appear to have contracted molluscum contagiosum. I know this takes a long time to go away. I don't particularly want to stop training for 6 months - 2 years. It's all over my forearm. What precautions should I take to stop from spreading it to other people?

I had all the growths burnt off a while ago, but they spread again anyway. To my understanding burning them off doesn't cure the underlying illness.

The molluscum contagiousm I picked up have been bleeding lately after BJJ (I wear a long-sleeved rash guard which conceals them but apparently they still get rubbed a bit). They scab over after this occurs. Is this any point for concern, so long as I'm not doing anything gross like rubbing the blood on other people or spreading it over myself?

Dunno if people have seen this, but I think this is really helpful for people trying to figure out the guard when someone's not in your closed guard. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmqIAXU9TWE&feature=relmfu Actually, it also sort of shows the lessons for closed guard. Get on a hip, attack attack attack.

After 3 years of BJJ/wrestling, when a guy gave me aggressive body language tonight and told me 'yeah gently caress off' at a party for no reason I just adopted an aggressive posture and told him he was a loving oval office that had 3 brain cells. He came up and rushed forward. Having seen a concrete surface in all directions, I grabbed an over/under and using the under I pushed his arm up through and over to shrug him off. Said he was a oval office. And walked off with my eyes fixed on him, looking pensive. I went inside and everyone told me what a bitch I was. Welcome, guys, to being good at grappling. Being wise and sensible will earn you being called a homo (deserved or not), and in front of a bunch of girls you will look useless. It also owns, however.

It wasn't a random arsehole. It was a thing with a guy being aggressive for little reason. I just found it funny when one of the few times I would have been able to use the wrasslin' with justification my experience actually told me to do nothing, and it made me feel instantly stupid, but that overall it was the right move. I made a net gain on the affair, and I'm not joking, because getting into an actual physical fight ends up being awful. Edit: basically, BJJ/wrestling/MMA training taught me NOT fighting was the good idea because I realised it would mash my brain, and it owns that it was THAT training that made me glance around and back down from doing something I would massively regret!

Bad conversational tangent. My point was that doing fight sports taught me that fighting in that instance would have been a terrible terrible idea and I thought that was cool even though I looked soft.  My head is okay unlike it would have been otherwise!

My coach got his blackbelt from John Will (principal progenitor of BJJ in Australia) and he is mostly orthodox then when I least expect it calls the flower sweep the "leg grab rollover sweep" and laughs at me for calling it a flower sweep and I know not what the gently caress. Grappling comes from a lot of places and the taxonomy may differ even if the substance does not. Just hope the guy with the bizarre nomenclature isn't trying to coach you from the sidelines in a comp.

Kumo Jr. posted:Let's talk about retarded pricing for a minute. I was considering going to train at one of the less popular/known gyms in town for a seminar with Tito Ortiz. The gym ballparked the seminar at $80, and I was trying to decide whether or not I was interested. How dare you impugn the value of the tutelage of Tito Ortiz, winner of no straight fights.

Sprawl shorts are pricey but very durable and extremely comfortable. I wear my spare pairs around the house.

Xguard86 posted:congrats! You are reminding me of when our instructor would hint to people ahead of time they'd be getting their blue, purple, or whatever. The rest of us would intentionally give him a hard time, like resting in the round before we'd roll with the guy in question just to test him, or a big guy just doing their best to lead blanket him. Good times. Congrats on the brown, King Colliwog. It's sad that commercialised sports have ruined the perceived achievement for non-BJJ people of belt ranks, because that makes you a pretty dedicated and skilled dude.
