I just had to have a conversation about this topic with some of our white belts. It is a curious phenomenon, they can't see themselves getting...
I prefer sub-only myself. I've seen BJJ "point fighters" go to sub-only and get trashed, I fear that it is a combination of honestly just not...
I love to use wrist locks as they're something that was used extensively in other things I've studied. For me they aren't something I normally...
I find the term 'BAE' to be the most irritating to me. The already referenced 'could care less' is also high on the list. Also most any phrase...
I have very little time between work and class, so I usually eat like a spoon of peanut or almond butter and a piece of fruit (orange or banana)...
The only thing I'd change make would be finding BJJ sooner. Though I'd want to still end up with the teammates I have now, they're family to me.
The only ones that I've seen personally that come with a white belt are generic uniforms that are either referred to as a student gi or are...
Never been a fan of Jesse Enkamp's views myself, this one is worse than most.
Around the area I live, any dan testing that was done that actually awarded a new rank (i.e. not part of the "pre-testing" cycle), Kuk Sa Nym was...
Congrats Fish!

I'd determined that as I approach 40, that experience and treachery closes the gap and can sometime overtake youth and athleticism. A well-baited...
If you're goal is to become proficient in the art, the ranks will come, the amount of time is irrelevant. As long as you work hard, and try to be...
Ooh, diet changes can definitely be rough. For me, I have to carefully adjust the amount of carbs I take in when cleaning things up or I crash....
The BJJ black belt that we're under was a LEO and is constantly being brought in to train current and incoming LEOs, and many of his direct...
The pivot "should" be rather natural. If you've studied something else, it's possible that you've been hard-coded to not pivot based on...
Sorry to hear that your family is going through all of this. Seems like a worst case scenario for the type of situation it sounds like all this...
I'm naturally suspicious of anyone that comes to my home unannounced and uninvited. So depending on my mood and what I was doing, I either...
I don't think you're wrong at all on that. If I'd done that performing any kata near either of my sensei's I'd have probably been beaten, lol.
It's a poor rendition of a kata found in Shuri-ryu (which is a composite system of karate, not a solid lineage from Okinawa), if I remember...
Separate names with a comma.
