Lockdown Blues

General Discussion

I did this last time we were about to be locked down and got a lot of good time wasting material.

So Im back again as my country decides that my blue belt is a dream to be unfulfilled because might die or whatever. (Obvious sarcasm is hopefully obvious)

What podcasts, movies, anime Youtube channels can you recommend to a man who has barely rolled this year but wants to at least keep his finger on the pulse of South Amerian Ground Karate?

​

Lasti time, Baki was recommended. That was awesome!

Forget about BJJ for a while and immerse yourself in other hobbies. I'm not being snarky - i really think it's the healthiest thing to do otherwise you end up agonizing over wanting to be back on the mats versus simply accepting that we are living in very odd times and it's completely out of your hands for the foreseeable future. Learn a new language, play with new recipes, get into yoga, whatever floats your boat.

I appreciate your input and I have to a degree. Im just really looking forward to getting back on the mats and I dont think it'll be too much longer till Im back.

I'll tell you though, my last opportunity to roll, I blew it off for a beer. I feel as if I blew off a dying friend. Wont never take it for granted again, I can tell you.

It’s so good. I’ve watched a lot of anime over the years, and HXH is by far my favorite.

It seems pretty standard at first, but man, it gets WILD. And not in a dumb way. There are lots of moments of “wow, I didn’t expect that and it was AWESOME.”

My man what about you train some Shadow Boxing or some Yoga for BJJ that should keep you healthy.

Get a boxing reflex ball. I've had mine a few weeks and still suck tremendously at it, but I can tell I'm getting better.

Also, don't let yourself get fat. Find other avenues for physical activity.
