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.
You don't want things to be awkward between the two of you so next time in the locker room pass him a note that says "Do you like me? Yes [_] No [_] Oss [_]". That should clear things up between the two of you.

Randomly stumbled on this match between Joao Miyao and Megaton. Hopefully it hasn't been addressed in the last X pages.

Why does Miyao lick his fingers when he's attacking Megaton's hands?

I can't think of any practical reasons why - might be a nervous tick of some kind. I will sometimes run my hand through my hair in neutal positions despite having it cut short...it's a weird stupid habit.

Then again the Miyao's are just plain weird.

Jordan got a TD late in the third to go up 1, with :03 left Meredith somehow locked on a cradle and turned him for back points at the whistle. Meredith wins 5-2

Owns. I've got a soft spot for the Wyoming guys. Their social media stuff is great and I've been watching their videos/listening to their podcasts all season so they've become my second Big XII team.

I'm looking for some simple takedowns while rolling, I've heard ankle picks are good if you have a height advantage. Is that true/anyone have any good videos?

Single Leg and Double Leg are the two simplest and most utilitarian take downs ever, and everyone should know how to do them.

Do you mean o goshi (big hip throw, both feet planted) or osoto gari (outside leg reap)?

e. all three of those are good to know. I'd recommend that a novice figure out the mechanics of o goshi before working on harai, though, for balance reasons.

If you have a height advantage, focus on snapdowns and see what people are giving you openings for when they defend them.

Oh woops I meant to say osoto gari but yeah they're all cool, judo is cool (except the names which I can never remember).

Competed at Pan Ams. Dislocated pinky sucked and I had to steam room to make weight but still took second in white belt lightweight. Other than feeling like I was going to vomit after every match it was pretty awesome.

I need something stronger.

I watched a competition over the weekend and it was amazing how many times I saw people tap, the ref didn't see it, and then deny it after the opponent let go of the sub. Also saw some nice justice when a teammate got ran into the scoring table during a take down, and then actually took down into the table (but still no dq for his opponent), who then a few minutes later had the most satisfying rnc against the guy. Wish I had been recording it.
