    getting bored with bjj

    I get what you're saying. Take a break. That's what I'm doing. A month, two months, whatever it ends up being. I'm not engaged to the idea that the longer I'm off the worse I'll be anymore. Taking all the stress out of it. I have enough of that shit at work. Hobbies are supposed to be fun.

    The art of just showing up....

    That's how I view going to work, not something I pay for and want to be fun. Sounds like you're forcing it.

    purple belt, thinking about hanging it up

    Started in August 2008, first school was a karate place that cancelled the jiu-jitsu program for financial reasons. Went to a place that was somewhat of a commute for me to keep training, lasted 3 years there before I had a small falling out with the owner/instructor as it seemed he was...

    Gift Wrap - Anyone here like this position?

    I go the other way with it, I'll use it to transition to a mounted triangle/arm bar/gift wrap choke switch from the top. I feel like my back submissions are a lot lower percentage.

    purple belt, thinking about hanging it up

    Going through all the same problems, just not feeling it anymore. Going to train doesn't feel fun, I've had to switch schools a bunch of times over 8 years. Anyone else here that quit at purple belt?

    My wife holds me back from being the best I can be. Anyone else?

    I agree with earlier posts, you need some extra work on the side. Buy your own vehicle. Put yourself in a position to be able to go where you want, when you want. I make $0.73 less an hour than my girl and I still steer the ship at home.

    x guard to back

    Try single leg X. I've had more success to the back that way.

    New to BJJ looking for advice on my next step

    You said you loved it. I think you answered the question already. It's perfectly fine to "feel like an idiot" through your first year or so. Don't put high expectations on yourself. People get caught up because it's a physical battle. If it was a game of chess and you got slaughtered you'd...

    Felt demasculated yesterday

    You did the right thing. You got out and spoke up. Not everything has to be a physical altercation, there's enough of that shit already. Her crying is just because she's a typical, non-confrontational woman who felt guilty. Everyone makes mistakes buddy. Let it go, you'll feel better.

    Essential takedowns

    most of my takedowns are judo based. hardly ever will I succeed with a shot from standing. might just be my style. I'd much rather clinch first. https://richmellobjj.wordpress.com/
