Do you treat fat people differently?

Girls do BJJ?

What happens if the guy gets a boner?

[Marisa]

Yes and get my blood sucked every month LOL.

Must be nice to have insurance.

[ImayBblack]

Really? Wait...I feel like we've talked about this before. Are you on synthroid currently?

Fair enough. Do you ever go to Nate's GTG on friday nights to roll?

Friday nights are the start of my weekend! Maybe if/when i get to a level i'm comfortable with.. but for now no, nor do i plan on it.

Maybe at your school you have to just serve time to get belts, not mine. You earn rank in a Gracie school. If you can't show you can execute techniques, you don't get ranked.

Yeah I don't train anymore. I have been to two schools and they both were that way. I just was curious on why you trained. Don't take offense to it. You just make it out to be more than just a hobby. You should not have to have a certain "reason" to train. Everyone is different. Ya know?

When i trained (Mauy Thai) Don't really care for BJJ. I did it to get into shape and thats about it. Yes i competed a couple of times but it was just for fun. I did not dedicate my life to it because I know it was not something I planned on doing for a living.

Been both! Was diagnosed with postpartum thyroiditis (HYPER) after my preganacy then in April I was diagnosed with hashimoto disease which is HYPO.

Really? Wait...I feel like we've talked about this before. Are you on synthroid currently?

I didn't say I only go for technique and don't stay to roll...?

And i'm being active the other days of the week, so your diet and feast comparison is completely off base.

I mean i can understand doing it for a hobby and to keep in shape, but I dont understand how he would go anywhere doing it? He makes it sound like he is going pro, and by the looks of it I don't see that happening. By all means I could be wrong. I'm just curious on why people take it so seriously if they are not going anywhere.

Compensating for other areas of life that are lacking...I bet he enjoys being a fatboy that can kick someone's ass. Look at Tank Abbott. He can kick the average guy's ass but he is still a fatass with metabolic syndrome who will die an early death.

You're HYPO or HYPER?

Why are you hyper-sensititive to what I have to say about it? Did you READ what he said? He said he doesn't do BJJ to get into shape, but rather for the technique. BJJ isn't one of those things you can do like that. The techniques require flexibility, dexterity and most importanly muscular endurance. You can't get that by simply going in, learning techniques and not rolling for hours. It takes time to build yourself for BJJ properly.

Roy Nelson is a BJJ guy and who would look at that guy and think he's a pro? I wanna know why it's not okay for Kyle to do it for his own reasons and not the reasons that Steve thinks he should. That's like saying don't jog unless you plan on running a marathon.

It's perfectly fine to do whatever he likes of course. But just like weightloss, without the proper plan and execution, the end result won't be effective. He'll be able to talk about the techniques, able to show them with a cooperative partner, but not effectively use it against a resisting opponent. If he's just doing it for fun, fine so be it, thats cool for him. It's still goes against what it's there for which is to be efficient and effective.

That's why I asked what his reasons where? Someone that does it 2x a week is no different that someone that does it 10x a week. Other than the person that does it 10x a week must not have a job or has more time on their hands. Now if he was training to become a pro, than his justification of "going somewhere" I might understand. But last time I checked you just have to serve time to get belts.

There is a big difference between the casual practioner who goes in twice a week, learns a few techniques and then leaves when everyone else stays to roll. There is even a bigger difference from the people who dedicated themselves to the pursuit of excellence for no other reason other than the goal. I do this in every art I have practiced, I work very hard and down to every little detail. Now I'm applying those things to training and weightloss as well. One doesn't need to "go pro" to want to be good at something.

Training twice a week for two hours doing only technique would be like me only dieting two days a week and feasting the other 5 days. It makes no sense.

I have thyriod problems and I weigh 128 lbs and I never work out lol. So yes i agree on the thyriod. I think i gained 5 lbs since iwas diagnosed in April.

You're HYPO or HYPER?

[ImayBblack]

Oh, and they ALL have thyroid problems...it isnt your thyroid. It's your self-control.

[The King]

I did, and nobody pointed out that there was no flawed logic in either of those statements.

They did point it out, through supporting facts. Now, go have a cookie.
