blasting yacht rock with the long skinny pedal on the floor of the struggle bus. headed down south to train and get my whole as kicked by my old coach and his crew. quintet in a couple short weeks.

side note: Christopher Cross was an absolute G. Ride like the Wind is a hell of a ballad.

Have anyone tried practising aikido-kind (or similar) techniques against kickboxing (or any street style fighting) punches and kicks?
especially the real speed punches?
incl. series of punches?

it sounds like extremely interesting "don´t try this at home" thing to do

do people practise someting like this? especially here in Finland?
(without going down on the floor for bjj or at least without choking)

So there's six months or so until the promotion cycle where I *could* get my black belt. My intention right now is to ramp up my training until then. I've got so much training data that *should* be able to direct my training intensity and volume...let's see how this goes. If my metrics indicate I'm good to train, I'll train. If they indicate rest, I'll rest.

Any other #bjj folks on the fediverse?

Yes, we know the younger one's #BJJ gym has a bunch of folks we'd otherwise choose NOT to interact with.

No, she's not going to quit a thing that's become a big part of her life just because "those guys" do it too.

*THAT'S HOW THEY WIN*

(Plus this way she sometimes gets to choke one. )

There's a lot going on right now - don't let it keep you from living your life.

It's been on my face for over 12 hours so it's not it's freshest, but I copied the purple colours on the other side and I think I managed to hide the black eye pretty well #makeup #bjj #jiujitsu

I made this Inclusive BJJ #starterpack for #bluesky

and then found a bigger one Kesting made called Anti-fascist BJJ.

I guess I'll keep mine and see what I can find. Can't have too many I guess.

More or less leftish, human rights supporting, critical thinking, anti-racist, #antipseudoscience, #antifascist #BJJ practitioners. #Abolition/ #decolonization/ #FreePalestine oriented.

Según mi novia acá hay gente cool.
No sé bien quién soy, pero sí sé qué me gusta. Amo conversar de política, solía comprenderme como un Ancap y últimamente siento estar acercandome a las ideas del comunismo (vaya cambio ksjsjs). amo nadar, amo cocinar y comer, ah, y la música. Me encanta la música por encima de muchas cosas.

i sure hate the gi. this is the most enthusiastic i look in any picture the coach took last night. i rarely attend gi class but a buddy showed up so i visited. it's a shame, too, because i'm better at gi than no gi. #bjj

Did competition rounds at gym 1 last night and upper belt rounds at gym 2 this morning and my old bones are HURTING

God save me from white belt energy. #jiujitsu #bjj

10 hard rounds. I was never in danger but Jesus the relentless pace these 20 year old ding dongs put on...

it looks like i'm preaching to my team mate, ha! #mma #bjj

Sometimes you just gotta make that transition from kesa to the atomic wet willy. #bjj #grappling

It's funny how people outside aikido talk about whether #aikido techniques work or not, and commence to discuss wrist locks. Wrist targeting techniques (and body through them) count 3 out of 20 techniques I can immediately name (each with multiple variations). On top of that there's the variety of kokyunages and also close to 30 named attacks.

That's about 15% of all the techniques, and <10% of curriculum. And still #MMA and #BJJ people discuss effectiveness of aikido through wrist locks.
