I brought it up here last year I think but I had some big, STRONG/FAST wrestler come to my gym and "train like he fights" and nearly injure me. Once I realized he was a complete dick and a psychopath, I just stared STYLING on him and made him look like an idiot when ever I could. He's much calmer now and even just received his blue belt from me.

Some people will gradually lose their rough edges through hard work and experience. Others need to have that poo poo sandblasted off.

I am still trying to figure out what he hopes to gain by tapping the second he is in a submissive position against a bigger guy. Like, it seems like he is just trying to wins rolls which seems kind of absurd.

This enforcer stuff reminds me of a funny story where I was actually kinda used in that role without my knowledge. When class ended one day open rolls come along and the coach explicitly pairs me up with this pasty scrubby looking new guy ( something like "CommonShore is a good guy to roll with - try him out"). The dude is really rammy and going hard and probably two weight classes bigger than me so I just kept sweeping him or taking his back and choking him out, whatever - the usual stuff that you do to a rammy new guy. After about 3 minutes he's completely gassed and taps to cardio. Coach comes in and talks to him and I go do something else. It turns out that he was getting ready for an MMA match and wanted to start training (that's right - he got booked and then found a gym to train with). Our coach was like "uhhhh you're welcome to train with us, but you look like you've been eating nothing but ramen and hot dogs for the last year and you got winded in the warmup. I strongly advise against you taking a fight in 5 weeks." Buddy was insistent that he was going to take the match, so the coach just shrugged and told him to join the class. I guess the second conversation was like "CS there is 15 years older than you, has a desk job, is 20 pounds lighter than you, and just trashed you so bad that you couldn't finish the round, and he's not even sweating. We can get you ready for a fight, but you will not be ready in 5 weeks. If you want to fight, we can look for one for you in a year." Guy insists still that he needs to fight. So the coach paired him up in the next round with the wrestling coach, who was instructed to not take it easy on him, and I don't recall seeing him since. Apparently after all of that he still took the fight and got TKOed in about 60 seconds.

Injuries abound, I also need a gear recommendation; I'm only 8 months in and my right ear is already just a bit lumpy. Hit me with some recommend ear muffs/guards, preferably the soft ones if those are less obnoxious for my team mates.

I’ve had cauliflower ear flare ups quite often between wrestling and jits. The soft ones really didn’t protect my ears enough to be worth it. The best thing I’ve found is Cliff Keen f5 tornado headgear, which none of my partners mind. In fact they love it, because escaping the headlock/triangle/various chokes is pretty drat hard with them on. Those cauliflower ear magnets that are wrapped in silicon are amazing for keeping pressure on the spot for a couple of days after draining with an insulin needle. Personally I let my ears get just enough scar tissue so that they don’t flair up any more but not enough to be seriously noticeable, but that’s because i seem to be very susceptible and wanted to train without worrying and headgear more than I wanted perfect ears.

I also used these, after draining my ear but I just got rare earth magnets from harbor freight and wrapped them in athletic tape, was like $10. It worked great but FYI leaving the magnets on for 7 days or whatever, they hurt like a mother fucker. Bonus (gross) content, since I was thinking about it: https://www.instagram.com/p/BV8qNLGgwnR/

Drewjitsu posted:Dude, you have no idea about the crazy amount of dumb poo poo I've seen in my time as a dressing room inspector for the local for a Boxing Commission supervising the local scrub-tier MMA org. Basically, the fight cards were so bad, I could tell who would win how the fighters in my corner warmed up. Can the dude hit pads with any sort of reasonable ability? He's probably gonna win. Guy has "independent" listed as his gym? He's going to be an absolute joke. Ohhh man I believe it. One of my training partners has worked as a ring-side physician quite a few times, and he says that in his opinion amateur MMA is loving broken. There's no real matchmaking, and everyone who runs events is crooked because a) you have to be crooked to charge people money to watch people who are fighting for free, and b) the only way you'll make money is by cutting every possible corner in the least ethical way. We were talking about what it would cost to run an amateur MMA event for breakeven $ under current laws in MB, just to give dudes a chance to get some fair, safe-ish fights, and elbow out the crooks, and it was something like $10,000 up front... assuming we get a free venue and a free ring and did it on a reservation to skirt as many rules as possible. I can't remember the exact number - it was far enough into the thousands that we just said "well gently caress that." Which is a shame, because I know that we could get athletes and an otherwise reasonable audience for small cards several times per year. Anyway the matchmaking blows his mind. You could legitimately have an olympic-level athlete who trains full-time and is 10-0 as a pro boxer go up against some stoner who signed up just because his girlfriend called him a pussy when she left him and he'll show her who's the pussy, and nothing other than the promoter's ethics (see previous paragraph) is in place to prevent that, because from the regulator's perspective they're both 0-0 in MMA so it's even. The fact that they allow independent, unaffilliated athletes makes that even worse because they don't even have a competent coach looking out for them. I'm a big advocate of regulation and oversight for sport, but something is broken in that particular regulatory system.

spandexcajun posted:I got the Matman Ultrasoft Wrestling head gear when I started to get cauliflower ear. Thank you, and I had a follow up question based on this: Some of the swelling has gone down in my right ear (its two days after I think it happened), and you say you wear these only when your ears hurt; could I just wear these while letting my ears heal? I didn't think cauliflower ear would go away unless drained, but my coach says that if I realy had cauliflower ear I'd know it because it would be suuuuper painful, while I only feel a bit tinder and am visibly red and swollen on that ear. My thinking/concern was that this was just a little bit of cauliflower ear and it would build up over time, but maybe it's just some swelling? Or is cauliflower ear exactly that; swelling that becomes permanent?

Jack B Nimble posted:Thank you, and I had a follow up question based on this: Cauliflower ear comes from repeat damage. If there's any swelling that damage has started. Essentially when it happens your ear swells, but then when the swelling goes away there's a bit of scar tissue left behind, and that accumulates over time. You get more scar tissue if it gets damaged again before it's fully healed. If you're susceptable to it, there's not much stopping it. Some dudes can wrestle for decades and never get it, whereas other dudes will have an ear that looks like The Thing after 6 months of casual BJJ.

Ok, then it sounds like I need to wear gear proactively if I want to keep my ears un damaged. I bought that head gear, thanks for the recommendation spandexcajun. I'd be the only one at my gym wearing the things but we'll see, it's a welcoming place and I'll talk to my coach before I wear them.

My younger daughter still loves to just gently caress around in class. Tonight is what they call "Fun Friday". We have a really huge mat space and they do nothing but team building games, swing from ropes and do little obstacle courses. I have no idea how they have the energy at the end of the day to do it all.
