I doubt the dude that posts in the steroid thread and keeps posting weird alpha poo poo has just been playing a character for the past six months or so. Willie's weird and I could very well see myself read about him getting stabbed in a year or two.

I have it on good authority he also spends too much time looting in pubg.

I find it effective to remind people to encourage people to slow down in drilling and really focus on a step by step approach. Once they're not messing up the steps you can refine the small details.

This plus reminding (usually new people) that speed comes last.

We have a 5-year, maybe longer, blue belt with a wrestling background who trains 3-4x a week. Not sure what they're waiting for to promote him.

My understanding is that white belts may react with something silly.

Was it supposed to be a full-contact match up? Seems risky for someone who does this as their job to risk injury.

I only get grouchy when some gigantic dude makes me tap by getting rammy and doing poo poo like putting his knee on my head and twisting my spine, though that's less because I tapped and more because I hate rolling with assholes.

We have a fat guy who likes to smother people with his gut or bicep curl their skull. He's just on the list of people I avoid rolling with. Nice dude otherwise.

For lightweight I like Hypnotik. For heavier/competition style I like Inverted Gear (specifically the bamboo/cotton ones). Though that’s mostly based on how they fit my particular body type, so results may vary.

Aren't lightweight ones competition-style?

There's the fun video of Lavell Marshall, who competes at a high level of Shuai Jiao, in a bjj white belt tournament and it was a little one-sided: https://streamable.com/vbu0e. His opponent was also something else.

A friend was claiming to do Chinese wrestling for awhile that I thought was Shuai jiao, but when I asked if he'd like to show me some standup he told me it wasn't possible because the moves are set up to :airquote: break your bones during takedowns :airquote:.

My work had this team building day where we went to a crossfit gym and learned crossfit self defense. All I did was look at ways to throw people from the lovely stances and showed my partners basic grappling stuff. I then only got paired with the instructor and other crossfit people so I would follow along.

I mean this type of self defense is never going to work on anyone when you have a stance called the tip of the spear which leaves you open to everything. Also a open hand blow to the bottom of the jaw will break teeth and is more effective than a punch according to the instructor.

Just had my first instances where someone attempted to fight me for not showing him enough """respect""".

Guy has been a brown belt for going on at least fifteen years, in part due to work and injuries. He tore his Achilles tendon two years ago and has been easing himself back into training by taking privates. Today after open mat he shows up in the locker room and I make a clear joke about him showing up just as we're all packing up, another guy chimes in that he's going to a secret class that I'm not even invited to, we're all joking around, laughing.

He leaves to go to the mats and a few minutes later the instructor comes in and says he wants to talk to me. I go out and the brown belt is out there and he is irate. Says he wants to fight me right now, that he thinks it's unacceptable for me to finger wave at him for not training, yadda yadda. The instructor explains that I need to apologize, that I'm not respecting the belt level, this is a combat sport and I need to be more humble. Brown belt says he wanted me on the mats immediately to mess me up, but he got talked down.

I'm an adult. He's an adult. I wasn't even sure if it was a ruse at first because it seemed so ridiculous. I used noted deescalation technique of apologizing for my behavior, clarified I didn't mean anything by it and tried to not react to him trying to square up on me. I'm still pretty sure he played himself.

Am I a thug?
