Bullshido has awful web design and a lot of weird annoying dudes on it but I like the idea of it

Did Bullshido's popularity drop off when Facebook became widespread?

I can remember it being one of only a few online MMA/BJJ communities in the early 2000s.

I imagine these white collar BJJ nerd types would have moved onto 'this is my therapy' memes on larger social media platforms.

Two of my MA buddies were regulars to the Toronto Bullshido throwdowns. They got me to show up to one a few years ago to try the knife fighting. Although some participants were a bit goonier than others, I didn't find any drama to it - just a bunch of MA enthusiasts wanting to live train. I actually give props to the traditional martial arts practitioners who show up to test their skills because their dojo doesn't do live sparring.

Phrost and I have rolled before but at no point was there any animosity involved. Bullshido performs a useful service in ferreting out scams in the martial arts community but of course like any other martial arts website it attracts more than it's share of weirdos.

Because I was a bit of a dipshit when I was younger I have indeed travelled to beat up kung fu practitioners who claimed that grappling was useless in the face of their dim mak technique, but most of them abruptly found something better to do when I gave them a waiver to sign.

I don't believe I ever teabagged Phrost or anybody else, but at one point I did take someone's back and sing the entirety of "Never Gonna Give You Up" before choking them, because I couldn't resist the pun opportunity.

There is an idea of a Yuns, some kind of abstraction, but there is no real me, only an entity, something illusory, and though I can hide my cold gaze and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable: I simply am not there.

One of the old-school Gracies invented this whole cult-like diet regimen for his family/students, and it heavily emphasized "Native Brazilian Foods," such as acai.

Acai is popular in brazil and not very common anywhere else, and also is one of those "superfoods*" that's supposed to be very nutritionally healthy. So it's very popular among BJJ folks in Brazil, and has therefore become popular with BJJ folks in America, which means people get excited over sales because it's not common in the US and therefore fairly expensive.

You can get them in juice blends and at smoothie places pretty regularly here, but I don't think I've ever seen actual berries on sale here before in any of the non-Whole Foods type places I do all my shopping. I don't know a drat thing about what kind of nutrients are in them but I can confirm they taste nice with blueberry or pomegranate juice.

Acai berries produce tiny quantities of edible fruit so you're only ever going to see them in a highly processed form like a smoothie pack or as a sorbet.

Just eat some blueberries, honestly. Or saskatoon berries if you want something with more fibre so you can call it a superfood.

Actually, do they sell Saskatoon berries outside of the Canadian prairies?

some by their splendor rival the colors of the painters, others the flame of burning sulphur or of fire quickened by oil.
Acai has become really popular in Sweden lately, it's popped up in all these little health/raw food places all over town, at least in Stockholm. Super delish but it's given almost mythical properties here too.

Can't speak to that gi, but if you don't need one immediately, last year a bunch of websites had some pretty good sales on for Black Friday - some places had 50% off site wide.

That gi is amusing but if you're really new... IDK man. I would laugh if it was someone who had been around awhile. But, if its a really fresh guy I'd think it was dumb. If You're really new I think its kinda a mistake getting a gimmick gi. Especially if its your only one.

I got the batman one, which is way less loud. I kind of came to the same conclusion. I've seen people at the white belts class with louder gi's than that one, so i'm sure it'll work out.

I somewhat agree with Xguard but if you've been rolling around the gym and the guys there know you, I don't think it would matter, even if you're still a whitebelt (keep in mind though, i'm just a white belt)

While were on the subject of clothing and grappling accessories. I just purchased a pair of UGS shoes from RMAX. I didn't ask in this thread but I was curious to know if anyone here has had a good experience with them. I usuall wear 10.5 size shoes but they only sold 10's and 11's (took the 11's).
