[quote]golf clubs, BJJ Gi.[/quote] I just bought a new Fiji gi. Been forever since I bought one. I got a set of new clubs ironically in Monroe when I moved back home briefly in 2018. I see you are in North LA as well. Set of Apex's. Bought them at Cajun Made. Where do you train BJJ? W...

I figured gators would keep them in check then I saw a video of one python pretty much wrapping itself around about an 8’ gator to the point that poor gator almost FAFO. I was like so much for that theory ...

Yes I deal with it. I take Nexium. Watch what I eat. Drink lots of water. Quit dipping which was tough but it was it is. Don’t drink hardly at all anymore. Go see my Gastro doc for the Upper GI about every other year. ...
I was a pretty decent powerlifter when I first started BJJ. I say BJJ because when I first got on a mat we did all no-gi at a school that leaned way toward MMA. Dumb arse me did that for over a year until one day a lightbulb went off and I asked how do I get promoted in this art because all I hear...

Great advice. Only time I have ever felt queasy is hitting the head for a #2 in some 4’s after a long night drinking and not being able to see. Otherwise I don’t get seasick but know the bands work wonders. Speaking of drinking, getting a buzz early I think helps me so we are usually cracking ope...
Sounds like you and your son have joined a really good school. That goes a long way in keeping people interested in showing up for class. You can almost break down a BJJ gym into one that leans toward MMA with multiple fighting styles under 1 roof that focuses on fighting or one that is all BJJ an...
Welcome to the club. I am 52. I am about to make it 20 years training jits. Injuries will come at some point so just warm up good and listen to your body. Also, be cautious who you roll with. Higher belts will take care of you to a degree but you probably aren’t going to learn much from someone...

I don’t think being prepared or not is the question. If you have lived on the Gulf Coast for very long you should know that hurricanes are a moving target regarding landfall. I think what is catching people off guard is not having power for such an extended period of time even though they have gen...
I fish the surf in Crystal Beach all the time but mostly closer to the Pocket. Could have been me. On second thought, nope, I wouldn’t ever do anything this dumb. ...
I knew some guys at Pendleton that went out into LA during the riots. They were like we are about to invade Compton. ...

re: Southaven,Ms. Where to avoid staying?

Southhaven is where I stay to avoid Memphis lol. Lots of hotels on Goodman Road. Never really had any issues. ...

Yep Dolphins are pricks and they can flat out ruin a fishing trip. ...
When Coach fFran left Bama right after the Iron Bowl to Aggie. Lots of Bama fans thought he tanked the Iron Bowl just so we would be more bitter about that than him shagging arse to College Station like 3 days later. That 2002 team was salty too. Beat a Saban coached LSU team in BR pretty bad, I...
[quote]The parallels to the Franchione hire are spooky similar.[/quote] Yeah, kinda. It was wildly speculated that he threw the Iron Bowl just so Bama fans would be mad at him for that and to take the sting away from a quick exit right after, but it wasn't the next day. Also, fRan pretty much...
I would hate to be a BUD/S class having to deal with this cause you know those instructors are giving zero shites about something in the water. Probably making them do even more evolutions out there lol. ...
Agree on the meteor. I really don’t wish LSU any success when they get to Omaha but it does feel very empty with them not being there. Plus, being from Louisiana and still having connections there with work and family, I get a chance to witness a state rally behind the team kinda like us against t...
Why is the episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm where Larry hits the guy in the fairway keep coming up in my head after reading the OP’s post?...
Damn, you left out Davidson from Ruston. ...
