heyyy everyone i just signed up for my first ever competition im so nervous !!! any advice or tips to follow before starting or during it ?
also how aggressive should i be or expect others to be ?
Hiii everyone, I wanted to get your thoughts on something that happened recently.
My brother invited me out to eat, and I ended up going with him. When we got there, two of his friends ended up tagging along as well. What I noticed the entire time was kind of strange to me.
His friends barely talked at all. It was mostly just “yes,” “no,” or very short responses. My brother was the one carrying the conversation and trying to keep things going, but even then his friends would respond briefly and then just kind of give vague responses and went no where.
My brother would actually make interesting non forceful funny conversations but on the other hand they were just dry, a bit defensive or quiet and if they did joke it was like an attempt to try roasting my brother on something he said or like about someone or something to vibe or idk it was so weird…
What confused me is that my brother has known these guys for like 13 years, so I expected them to be a lot more comfortable around each other.
I honestly felt a bit awkward during the whole thing and I’m trying to understand what might’ve been going on. Are they just shy or socially awkward? Could it have been because I was there (I’m the only girl)? Or is this just how some friend groups are? or no personality ?
Just curious what others think, because I found the whole dynamic pretty unusual and uncomfortable
hii everyone!! i’m curious to know what do you guys recommend or think i’d the best pair for ventura x if my goal is to not use my miles points until my 30s ? i’m planning to just save them all until then (im 26).
I’ve been thinking of getting a hotel credit card and spending it save up points to use on hotel stays in the future but also not sure if that’s a good idea just want to see if anyone knows a good gameplan based off my goals?
Thank you in advance !!!
forgot to mention i’m only intending to use ventura x points for flights not hotel or rental cars
I’ve been training BJJ for 2 years. I know about 6 submissions and 1 sweep.
I don’t get submitted much by white belts but do by some blue belts, but I get controlled a lot and usually not dictating the roll.
Main issues:
My posture keeps getting broken when I’m standing or trying to pass , losing my balance
Once that happens, everything falls apart
I get swept a lot from top, even when I feel like my base is decent 😭
Small bumps/hip movements throw me off balance
If my guard gets passed, It’s pretty much over for me…no shrimp or hip escape ever works it’s so frustrating!!!
If i’m the one passing the guard to side control i can’t maintain it either. (occasionally)
I’m 5’5”, 155 lbs and often lighter than my partners, so not sure how much that plays into it.
I get submitted typically more by purple belts than blue belts but
What should I focus on fixing ?
