Americana from top half, of course

Are you worried about domain ownership, or copyright protection? The domain is theirs unless you can buy it from them. Nothing you can really do about that. If you're in the US, copyright protection issues are a whole separate issue, and domain name availability doesn't have much to do with...

Makes you wonder if those two facts might be in some way related.

The sad thing is that I really can't blame you.

Obviously, better than any other blue or white belt, but not as good as any purple belt. Otherwise, the belt system would be kind of silly, wouldn't it?

We do the same thing with "triangle," "hook," "guard," and "ashi garami."

Oh, that's definitely a rashguard under the jacket.

Speaks volumes? About what? Because it sure sounds like you mean that it "speaks volumes" about the propensity of black people to loot compared to that of white people. That's seriously what you're insinuating. Also, I believe that you can't grapple, and that you lie about your skills...

I think the point of contention is just a matter of verbiage. He says "complex," where I would be more likely to say "precise" or "intricate." I think any disagreement with his point likely comes down to the same.

If you still suck at armbars, having a cup will help you out. Once you stop sucking at armbars, you're no longer putting the elbow on your own nuts.

Wrestling on the beach is a lot like fucking on the beach. It seems great conceptually, but when you're digging sand out of your ears and ass crack, you remember why mats and mattresses are so damn expensive.

Honestly, it's really not that big a deal either way. All martial arts have their limitations, and all rulesets create their own weird artifacts. Just do whichever you have more fun with. If self defense is REALLY important to you, then just mix it up and do a little of each. If you have no...

What?

Fo the majority of gyms, landlord negotiations are going to be the most important factor, but revenue will be a very close second. That should be pretty obvious.

That's completely wrong. Membership payments are literally how the bills normally get paid, and most gyms (the ones that weren't stuggling beforehand) can handle a reduction in revenue and still make the necessary payments. On top of that, gyms' expanses are generally lower. Utilities aren't...
