Just (re-)Signed up for BJJ..!!

Postby Som-Pong » Tue Mar 24, 2015 12:36 am

IME "meatheads" tend to be more common in striking arts. Getting subbed a few times takes your ego out of the game right quick. Whereas for some reason a lot of people don't recognize expertise in the striking arts and always think they would've come out on top if they were luckier or some shit.

IMO its respectful to come in first and introduce yourself, ask when you would be welcome to come and take a class

Do what you like, just my 2 cents. I find showing up unannounced on the mats and assuming a free class is a bit rude but maybe I'm wrong

I think I am going tonight @ 6pm

- I always though a meathead (the way i think them) are more commom in body-building than anything else.
You dont get your ego checked, the people tha follow you, will idolize you because you're huge and for them this is the biggest sign of being able to fight.

You can always hide your insecurities by roidin you ass off, trying to scare people of picking fights with you.(Is that what they want deep inside, scare and avoid confrontations).

MY rant exclude actuall atheltes of course, i am talking about the gym bros.

Don't be selfish, preserve this world for the next generations.

I'll never long for what might have been
Regret won't waste my life again
I won't look back I'll fight to remain

All clubs welcome walkins, some clubs will just charge a mat fee is all. That would be bad business to turn away experienced members from training at your gym.

- I think as meatheads like the guys i posted a couple of months ago.
I've saw some people get hurt, but was so rare.

I got 2 almost-new redstar BJJ gis which I've only worn once each in my closet for 4 years. I should check on them see if they got molds on them :(

My brother is really into BJJ and he doesnt complain about the meatheads, but about arrogant rollers who have fancy rash guards.

Hahaha, those guys suck too, we just finished up a technical drill class, the club seems nice, everyone is pretty chilled out.
