Dope thread! Been really interested in joining a BJJ or Muay Thai gym over the past year, just waiting to hit some fitness goals before I commit effort anywhere else.
Does anyone have any tips for recognizing if a gym is junk or not? I have one pretty close to me but I can't be sure if it would be a decent place to train or not.the teacher, also called a professor, has to be a nice person
i know that sounds wild pussy.....but trust me when i say that this shit is important
if the teacher is an asshole, don't even think about that gym....in the long run, that shit will just turn you off to the art or make you quit early
there's nothing mystical about bjj....in essence, it's just wrestling
if the teacher starts talking about mystical magic shit, fucking bounce
you might get curious and ask where he professor got their black belt or ranked belt from
if you do, make sure you can verify by calling the person they mentioned or at least the gym they got belted from

@glorydaysyo, do you know who makes the blanks for Union? I think those are my new favorite tshirts. The Shaka tshirts that @KILZ FILLZmentioned seem to fit the description of the union shirts cuz of the snug neck.
i actually asked chris gibbs about that.
They're custom cut using cotton from a japanese mill
no shitting

The foreshadowing an EP prior when Bobby says it all just goes black when you die
*Chef's kiss
When it aired, I was watching it live and thought my cable went out like everyone else, was kinda pissed and felt it was a cop out when the credits rolled. Years later though, I appreciate it
that's fucking right
but the song told me to DONT STOP BELIEVING

The proper base/pressure and relaxing thing is something I mention constantly to beginners....
Maybe not beginners, most of the time I won’t really be super proactive about helping someone until they have been there for a while.
Man that sounds like it was a great time....to be the only white belt there, classic.
they were so welcoming also.....none of them thought to not help me
all of them were teaching me something
i learned proper combat base and base squatting for posture retention
I also learned single leg ankle take downs
I still need to learn to relax.....my endurance is shit

You think? From what I read the natives were scared shitless of it long before the colonies
the natives were.....but they took advantage of the myth to fuck with the colonies in virginia

I think the Jersey Devil is a whole other thing but I wouldnt be surprised if there was some cross over to the legends
it was the same in the Appalachian mountains
the windigo was just native americans scaring the shit out of the colonies

I agree completely.
Although I loved TD, S2-3 really didn't hit the same high marks as the first. Same with The Wire. First 3 seasons are great after that it just kinda petered out. Overall they're still infinitely better (even the weaker seasons) than most of the disposable garbage that's on TV.
Other than a few weaker EPs Sopranos stayed consistent. The only ones I skip or skim on rewatches are the fever dream, the dad's mistress, the furio/carmela storyline and the few ep's where its all about the mother
I love the ep when paulie was stuck in the woods with chris
and the show made me appreciate film making and got me into more independent films

hmm The Wire/True Detective would like a word
Personally I’d agree Sopranos had more of a cultural impact than the other two but they’re up there on the best shows ever made list. I wouldn’t say Sopranos is the ONLY HBO show that touched greatness
True detective is def on par with Sopranos
But the strength to season ratio was strong with Sopranos
The wire was good. I just dont think i've rewatched the wire as much as the sopranos
I would consider rewatchability and how good each season was
I feel like the sopranos had a back to back quality to it

went to the garage
fucking glorious
i was the only white belt in a sea of sharks
that shit was fucking amazing...i got my ass handed to me BUT i learned so many basic techniques that I overlooked
I learned about proper base and applying pressure while relaxing
I also learned that I cannot hurt Chris no matter what i do

@glorydayswe have been practicing stand up more lately due to a handful of guys who went down South last weekend to compete in worlds.
Regarding this dude all of our rills are solid, i play a guard start when practicing at the academy - we all start from sitting/crouch for the most part due to space.
saaaame
for us its just a matter of space

@glorydays dude that is definitely going to be awesome - come back and tell us what you guys go over.
Trained last night - almost got got....saved by the bell. Collegiate State wrestling champ jar head judo brown belt and bjj brown, gives me the best rolls in the whole
academy. Got me with a paper cutter- I glanced up and saw 13 seconds left and just figured I could suffer it out and avoid tapping.
Love rolling with that guy....challenges me every time .
so you wrestle to from stand up now?
you don't pull guard any more?
I've been challenged by this high school kid to wrestle from stand up but i always end up pulling guard
