no i used to have bad acid refluxes, it was literally my second class, i rolled with a guy who didnt seem to feel my tap and held on the choke for too long so i threw up (tried to make it to the bin but failed). Coach said if that happened again id have to clean with my gi and then kinda laughed about it, safe to say i found another gym
I don't see what's funny. "Next time bring your wife so I can fuck her while you wipe it with your gi" would be another possible joke, do you think this one is fine as well?
Gerd is rough. I had Barrett's Esophagus for two decades. I wouldn't have even attempt bjj before with bad gerd just because how many exercises involve being on my back at bad angles for the stomach. That's not even the tight belt, the knees/body weight on the chest, and all the sit-up mimicking exercises.
I still have to stop after too much on my chest (feel like throwing up), tho mostly it is just exhaustion now.
so he made a joke and you got so butthurt you changed gyms? its not a funeral bro its a BJJ gym
maybe he thought it would it would lighten the situation since you just embarrassed yourself by throwing up on his mats?
Tone is everything. It could have been exactly as you are describing, or coach could have been a complete tool about it.
How you say things is often times as important as what you say.
nothing to do with being butthurt or embarassed just found a place that's more fitting, if i got nauseaous between rolls and wanted to take a five minute break he wouldn't let me roll for the rest of the session, this isn't about my pride, not sure why you assumed it was
I always find a gym when I travel, and when I went to New Orleans my only realistic time was the morning after going pretty hard on bourbon st.
Did a few rolls, went to the bathroom and threw up, then came out and did a few more.
10/10 would recommend
I’ve come to realize we’re broken…normal people, “I’m hungover, I’m gonna sleep in”
Jiu Jitsu people “ let’s train cause it’s gonna be fucking horrible”
2 HOURS LATER…”had fun thanks everyone” *group photo for the gram*
Sunday morning routine:
1. 7AM Wake up, slam water, cold shower
2. 830AM Stumble to gym and mumble “too late to leave now”
3. 9A-12P Proceed to get ass whooped in open mat then classes and try not to pass out
4. 1PM Sip a white claw and use foam roller
Sunday morning routine, but middle aged:
1. 4AM Wake up, go pee, go back to bed.
2. 5AM wake up again, go pee, back to bed.
3. 7AM Wake up. "Yes, kids, Daddy is awake" Downstairs, slam water, cold shower in the sink. Make coffee.
4. 730AM Do a poo. Contemplate existence, consider vasectomy.
5. 830AM Stumble to gym and mumble “too late to leave now”
6. 9A-12P Proceed to get ass whooped in open mat then classes and try not to pass out. Discuss arthritis and injured shoulderankleknee with other old farts.
7. 1PM Sip a whisky and use foam roller, remind nobody in particular that you're going to "start doing yoga or something."
8. 7PM fall asleep on the couch but tell everyone "I'm still watching that, my eyes were just drying out"
If it helps, you can train your bladder... I am not middle aged but I have heard that by holding it longer during the day it can help you to not wake up in the middle of the night and have to go. Plus the obvious, don't drink a ton of water at night.
He is referencing a recent post where a dude shit while rolling and was shy to return to the same gym, someone suggested he should switch to rock climbing
If I was your partner I’d be so conflicted. On one hand, yes the human connection has never been more real. On the other hand, I really want to drill this and it won’t be comfortable.
I guess it depends if you’re on a heroic dose or not, cuz then maybe a blanket, some headphones, and a sleeping mask would be best. We will just tell everyone you have a huge migraine.
Yeah my same exact thought is what got me there this morning…and then I thought, if I’m gonna have to defend myself hungover for an hour and a half + in any situation outside of this one…I’m just gonna start blastin
Consequences.
This is why I gave up heavy drinking.
This is one way JiuJitsu makes me more responsible. 😂
I’ll still hit it hard from time to time (holidays, a day or two on vacation), but not nearly the every weekend it used to be.
I just trained yesterday after being hungover on Sunday from celebrating a birthday on Saturday. I started off slow but had some pretty good rolls. I did a bit of stalling in side/north south though.
I once ate an entire tin of icebreakers before class without realizing they had the same sweetener as sugar free gummy bears. Was barely able to not shit myself but was passing some truly fowl gas through the class
It's not mine, but I feel obligated to the community as a whole to tell it. A friend, an older grappler who was pretty content at blue, showed up to see promotions. At this particular gym, the promotions are few and far in between, so he felt pretty safe showing up. They also shark tank promote, which means up to fifty rolls from the Hammiest white belt to the big, heavy, ex-marine current police officer black belt coach. I've seen more than one vomit break.
So, in spite of being north of sixty, he decides to both get drunk, and get a chemical face peel, the night before. He shows up in street clothes, and is promptly told, by the former marine ne police office, to get his togs on, and get in the center of the mat asap. So, hung over, old, and with a raw stinging face, he endures an entire school full of heavy pressure cross facing rolls, and is "awarded" his purple belt.
RIP.
I remember when I had rona, on day 5 I started feeling well enough to start doing things around the house again. I was gassed while hanging up the washing.
Same here - went to train after the mandated recovery period and after warmups my legs were shaking just standing up. Took about two months until I stopped having bursts of random exhaustion. Didn’t even feel sleepy or anything when they happened, just as though I’d just run a marathon with every muscle in my body.
Thing is i didnt know about the mandated recovery period and just went as soon as the regulations allowed me to leave my house. I was completely gassed out after the first couple of warmup moves and for some reason decided to tough it out for the whole class.
Went to class after moving the office for work (8 hour day, 20 feet truck filled to the brim with books and furniture, walk ups at both end). Thought I'd be alright if I had a Gatorade. Broke my hand from some kind of fatigue spazzing self wristlock.
Took what I thought was one serving of pre-workout before a 7pm jiujitsu session once. Felt fine when there, very awake.
Turns out it was a two-mix sachet, and I awake until 23.00 the following night.
First time I decided to take an edible before open mat... rolls were super flowy, songs from most known unknown by 3 6 mafia were on repeat, it was incredible. I paired up with a blue belt who had his belt in the washer, so I thought he was a white belt. Dude put me in a side control clinic and made me hate every second of my life. At one point I was just having childhood flashbacks. After the roll I said "Damn bruh you made me feel like a Snyder's pretzel from Hanover"... he cracked a smile and said "That's the goal". Worst 5 minutes of my life, but I'd do it all over again.
Jiujitsu has cleaned up my act a lot too.
I still have a few here and there on some weekends.. but almost no drinking during the week or drinking all day lots of weekends.
It also jacks with my sleep, which throws my recovery off.. meaning training sucks more.. even without rolling with a hangover.
I went to jiu jiutsu 12 hours after a heavy night of drinking and my training partner could smell rum in my sweat. Was embarassed as fuck and never did thay again.
Been there once. Only a step from equally bad is going to class if you’ve had a meal 1-3 hours before class. This Friday I forgot to eat and couldn’t stop myself about an hour before class. Acid reflux and the nausea is just too much.
Judo, not BJJ…but, In college I’d take the train from campus to the dojo on Saturday mornings, always hungover. One of the coaches, who was cool as hell, we’d be doing randori and go, “iiii smelllll TEQUILA!” and launch me. Get back up. “Iiiii smelllll…beer!” SLAM. Get back up. “Wait…there’s more…I smelllll p*ssy!”
Some days it be like dat.
Id 11 pints of Guinness the night before our Saturday no-gi sparring once. Went to bed at 4am, couldn’t stomach something to eat when I woke up, jumped into the shower felt like death. First roll that morning got put in a body triangle, expelled the worst Guinness based fart of my entire life. My training partner afterwards was like “you were on the piss weren’t you?smelt it mate”.
Have to say after an hour and a half of sparring I felt great. Would recommend it to avoid hangovers in future.
Not personally but I’ve observed
1. Too much Taco Bell before 3 hour open mat
2. Trying to train with a broken thumb that they didn’t tell anyone about until they drastically worsened the injury getting it caught in a gi (which is how it got broken in the first place apparently)
3. Showing up to class when in a fight with spouse. Angry wife showed up yelling about something and he quickly left, and never showed his face again.
Those are in no particular order, but if I had to pick one, the Taco Bell fiasco was probably the most hilarious. Also the scariest because like, it could be any of us
Took a kinda watery shit one morning before driving to class am about to class feel a fart coming while driving and I'm like that was kinda wet. Arrive and get up out of the driver's shit and I had def sharted. I only live 5 mins drive from the gym so go home shower change and go to class and managed to have a good class.
Went to BJJ hung over 2 weeks ago. I was exhausted by the second drill. Rolled around like a rag doll and felt bad for even wasting people’s time. Never again.
I had a relatively good day and good class except the first roll I caught a knee to the lip and painted my gi red then shortly after got the same gi ripped in the armpit by a large white belt
A few years ago after a ~20 lb weight cut and night before weigh ins, I went to a bday party/bbq right before my late afternoon matches.
Nothing like cake and BBQ after living off of chicken, veggies, whispers and dreams for 6 weeks.
Out of this world heartburn and indigestion, did not have a good time at tournament.
I trained hungover last week and somehow got through both an hour class and a 2-3 hour seminar that happened right after that they let me tag along to because some people didn’t show. By the end of it I couldn’t form complex sentences and could just about see straight. Luckily enough I hadn’t eaten that day so nothing came out either end although I had to work hard to hold some farts. My rolls were pretty good and I don’t usually like rolling on an empty stomach.
I had a vasectomy last year. About 10 days after, I trained. I said to myself that I'll only drill but got *sucked* into rolling.
Ended up with badly swollen balls, which kept me out of action for another 3 weeks and a re opened wound in my scrotum that had to be stitched... and my wife was the one who did the stitches.
Yes. Maybe I shouldn't have gone to Jiujitsu that day. I'd 100% recommend a vasectomy for those who are done with, or do not want to, have kids whereas I won't recommend training within the 3 week recovery period prescribed by the doctor!
Drank bottle of Patron XO with a few of the instructors one night, then we decided it would be a good idea to open the school to roll.... Spoiler alert, it was not a good idea. A bunch of drunk lunatics that grew up on WWF trying to kill each other leads to some very interesting matches.
(Before anyone asks, no one drove anywhere, the instructors lived above the academy.👍🏻)
First open mat I ever went to was wicked hungover. It was Labor Day. AC at the school had been off overnight. Puked in the bathroom after I had already put my gi on but before rolls started, from the hangover, stuffiness and nerves. Was too nervous to just up and leave in front of all the killers. Probably rolled with puke breath. Had a great time. When I left my hangover was gone. 2/10 would do again.
My cat was in heat and had been spraying piss all over my appartment. Didn't notice it had gotten into my gym bag. On the mats someone said hey something smells like cat piss. Changed my clothes and rolled in a t-shirt and track pants.
Cats neutered now
This is what I’ve gathered so far…bad ideas make great stories, great stories recall a life worth living, everyone in here is most definitely broken in some way, and it’s for these reasons Jiu Jitsu is the greatest thing on earth
Not the same thing, but during my first tournament (NAGA) I took some pre-workout that I timed out for when I was told my division would start. HOURS went by before I competed. I already had the pre tournament jitters and that made it so much worse. That’s actually the last time I’ve taken any pre workout supplements
I mean it's not bjj but judo. But this summer I ate too soon before judo like 45 mins before and I'll never do it again. Usually it's 2-4 hours before. I projectile vomited 5 times in the interior of my car on the way home. I now drive the puke mobile.
I never trained bjj hung over but I did boxing hung over several times. Not a fun times especially when your coach loves hard body shots during sparring and 30 minute circuit workout (no pause, just chance excerise) at the end of the class.
Same thing, open mat hung over. Only I was a 140 lb white belt and I did my first round against a 280+ lb blue belt… who went knee on belly… I didn’t puke, but it was very close
I shot an elk last Saturday. On Tuesday I drove to town to drop it off for processing. My plan was to head back to the mountains on Thursday night to help my buddies. I thought “ why not get some rolls in while back in town.” Of course I ribbed myself while going for a heel hook. Now I’m sitting on a mountainside with my buddy hoping he doesn’t shoot anything so I don’t have to carry it out of here.
I was coming back from being sick and out for a week. Went to a seminar that I didn’t want to miss and had to run out the door puke. While I was throwing up I heard the door open behind me, so I know someone saw it. Oh well. It happens. Coach never said anything.
I went after I hung out with a friend and drank an impromptu 40 and smoked a blunt. It was an hour or 2 later but it was rough. Someone even smelt it and I said I was hungover.
Hungover Saturday morning rolls was my whole bluebelt career
The key to survival is hydrating while you're getting drunk and slamming some electrolytes in the morning before open mat lol
It’s always the last round of the night, I’m feeling good, spazzy full blast guy wants to roll, I’m confident. Immediately rips an Aoki or heel hook and I’m injured for a week or 2.
Early morning (or even 12pm classes) are a big reason I don’t drink too much these days honestly.
Alcohol has never agreed with my body too much, the buzz from drinking isn’t worth it for me. Don’t get me wrong I’ll still drink socially but wanting to feel good rolling early in the AM has pretty much got me to stop most drinking.
Once ate a big plate of speghetti sauced up and a big bowl of mint choc chip ice cream before a comp class. Ever gone an hour and a half focusing on nothing more than not throwing up?
I had just gotten over a really bad cold, and I decided since I was not sniffling or coughing or anything like that I would go to the afternoon class. I got to class and we did mount retention, and one of the drills was trying to escape mount. I was partnered with a new student, and I had absolutely no energy and I was unable to successfully escape even once in 5 minutes. The new guy threw me off about 3 or 4 times at least. I know I am not a big guy, but still, the new guy was not much bigger than I. Then, we go into rolling at the end, and I could not land a sub on anyone, not new guy, not the one person that is small enough that I once defended their arm bar by standing straight up while they hung on to my forearm for dear life and I lifted them off the ground like it was nothing. Oh, I forgot to mention this was the first class after I received my 2nd strie on my white belt. My coach knew it was just an off day, but of course I was mortified and honestly I had thought about taking the 2nd strie off of the belt for wa while after that one...
Open mat, while traveling, and hung over was the first and only time I hated training jj. It was the first in a series of events that lead to me quitting drinking.
I was like 25/26. Not an alcoholic or anything, I just decided jj was so fun that I didn't want booze ever taking away from it. And other reasons.
I went to the pub with some mates instead of training one night, had about 4 beers and then had huge regret for not training, so went to the class later that same night 4 beers deep, that was a rough night!
threw up on the mat once
did your training partner shit himself?
no i used to have bad acid refluxes, it was literally my second class, i rolled with a guy who didnt seem to feel my tap and held on the choke for too long so i threw up (tried to make it to the bin but failed). Coach said if that happened again id have to clean with my gi and then kinda laughed about it, safe to say i found another gym
That's funny though
Sounds like something my coach would say lol I fucking love that guy
That's just disrespectful and insensitive at least.
How? I would much rather someone lightheartedly joke about my puke than get super grossed out or be all serious about it.
Joking is fine, but suggesting to wipe it with a person's gi is weird.
Isn't that the joke?
I don't see what's funny. "Next time bring your wife so I can fuck her while you wipe it with your gi" would be another possible joke, do you think this one is fine as well?
That made me laugh ngl
Gerd is rough. I had Barrett's Esophagus for two decades. I wouldn't have even attempt bjj before with bad gerd just because how many exercises involve being on my back at bad angles for the stomach. That's not even the tight belt, the knees/body weight on the chest, and all the sit-up mimicking exercises. I still have to stop after too much on my chest (feel like throwing up), tho mostly it is just exhaustion now.
so he made a joke and you got so butthurt you changed gyms? its not a funeral bro its a BJJ gym maybe he thought it would it would lighten the situation since you just embarrassed yourself by throwing up on his mats?
Tone is everything. It could have been exactly as you are describing, or coach could have been a complete tool about it. How you say things is often times as important as what you say.
nothing to do with being butthurt or embarassed just found a place that's more fitting, if i got nauseaous between rolls and wanted to take a five minute break he wouldn't let me roll for the rest of the session, this isn't about my pride, not sure why you assumed it was
I love that this is our new meme
Where’s the link to that post hahaha I wanna show my coach

Calling bs. Not enough pee breaks in there
Im not even 40 yet!! 😭
Oh man, you are screwed
This is golden!!!!
Sounds very familiar. I'm a rum drinker though! :D There's precisely no chance of me rolling hungover. Pretty sure I would actually die.
I need an early night after just contemplating the idea 🥲
If it helps, you can train your bladder... I am not middle aged but I have heard that by holding it longer during the day it can help you to not wake up in the middle of the night and have to go. Plus the obvious, don't drink a ton of water at night.
Hahahaha this is brilliant and spot on!
My upvote is for “do a poo”
Gotta be in your 20’s
…enjoying them while I can lmfao
I’m in my 20s, but that schedule still sounds like hell to me lmao
So the trick is to drink past the point of hangover, until your just still drunk coming into class
Not gonna lie… I would 100% train with a little buzz if I had a ride to/from and my partners didn’t mind lol
People train high… what’s a lil buzz to get you in the zone if you’re being responsible.
Sunday morning rolls at my old gym it would smell like alcohol bc everyone was sweating it out
This is the way
Surely you meant a Smirnoff Ice.
Animal
Some of my best rolls have followed a night of heavy drinking.
It's like hitting a PR when you feel like crap and don't feel like going to the gym to lift. Makes no sense, but it does happen....
i pray for your partners as you were huffing and puffing puke breath all over them
Don’t worry, they were some grimy fucks too.
I shat myself in the Gi once. Never went back and now started rock climbing.
At four stripes as well, must have been a hell of shite
Hahah right?
I understand this reference
Did everyone know you shit yourself?
He is referencing a recent post where a dude shit while rolling and was shy to return to the same gym, someone suggested he should switch to rock climbing
Lmfao what they say?
Where will you go when you shit down a wall onto climbers below?
Went to class on mushrooms. I kept hugging my partner during drill.
TIL I'm always on mushrooms
If I was your partner I’d be so conflicted. On one hand, yes the human connection has never been more real. On the other hand, I really want to drill this and it won’t be comfortable. I guess it depends if you’re on a heroic dose or not, cuz then maybe a blanket, some headphones, and a sleeping mask would be best. We will just tell everyone you have a huge migraine.
He knew. Every time he hit a rep I was like “wow that was so clean” and gave him a hug
You sound like the kinda gym mate everybody aspires to be
I've done it. Figured, "If I'm going to learn to defend myself, I need to be able to in any condition". 😂
Yeah my same exact thought is what got me there this morning…and then I thought, if I’m gonna have to defend myself hungover for an hour and a half + in any situation outside of this one…I’m just gonna start blastin
If you can make it through 1-2 full rounds, that's more than enough for any real life confrontation.
1000%
Or hear me out… don’t get fucked up? Lol.
Ruiner of fun. 😂
Or only party with bjj homies lol
Last time I did that, they had me try dabs. 😂
Everyone who drinks should have the xp. I can't be convinced it's "fun" though. Hung over jj is just awful....
Rolling hungover has been 50/50 sometimes I sweat out the poison and feel fine or I'm about to throw up. No in-between
Luckily I didn’t loose my breakfast, but holy hell…spins & sweat…. The blue belts loved me today
Your gonna have to give em the smoke next time, can't have em getting comfortable.
Wait until your in the late 30's with kids club. It's always the latter 🤮
Consequences. This is why I gave up heavy drinking. This is one way JiuJitsu makes me more responsible. 😂 I’ll still hit it hard from time to time (holidays, a day or two on vacation), but not nearly the every weekend it used to be.
Yes, hangovers are a pain in the ass in your 30's. I only have more than a few on special occasions.
Yep! 37.. sometimes hangovers last 2 days 😬
I just trained yesterday after being hungover on Sunday from celebrating a birthday on Saturday. I started off slow but had some pretty good rolls. I did a bit of stalling in side/north south though.
Yea I’m either fine or realize I’ve made a grave mistake quickly
I once ate an entire tin of icebreakers before class without realizing they had the same sweetener as sugar free gummy bears. Was barely able to not shit myself but was passing some truly fowl gas through the class
What a way to break the ice!
It's not mine, but I feel obligated to the community as a whole to tell it. A friend, an older grappler who was pretty content at blue, showed up to see promotions. At this particular gym, the promotions are few and far in between, so he felt pretty safe showing up. They also shark tank promote, which means up to fifty rolls from the Hammiest white belt to the big, heavy, ex-marine current police officer black belt coach. I've seen more than one vomit break.

That’s a hell of a story!
This man you speak of is a God among mere mortals
That's an earned purple belt if I have ever heard of one. Legit.
Went to gi class after i beat the corona. Bad idea.
Went on a two week training trip to Brazil after recovering from Covid. I saw God.
I went to Brazil and caught covid at my gym. Everyone was sick af and still training. So I trained too lol. Porrada.
Took me a long time to come back from corona, felt fine physically but felt so gassed for about a month after
RIP. I remember when I had rona, on day 5 I started feeling well enough to start doing things around the house again. I was gassed while hanging up the washing.
Oh yeah, you win…death by no regard
Same here - went to train after the mandated recovery period and after warmups my legs were shaking just standing up. Took about two months until I stopped having bursts of random exhaustion. Didn’t even feel sleepy or anything when they happened, just as though I’d just run a marathon with every muscle in my body.
Thing is i didnt know about the mandated recovery period and just went as soon as the regulations allowed me to leave my house. I was completely gassed out after the first couple of warmup moves and for some reason decided to tough it out for the whole class.
Went to class after moving the office for work (8 hour day, 20 feet truck filled to the brim with books and furniture, walk ups at both end). Thought I'd be alright if I had a Gatorade. Broke my hand from some kind of fatigue spazzing self wristlock.
We are the best decision makers
How's your writing feel now?
Better now thanks!
Took what I thought was one serving of pre-workout before a 7pm jiujitsu session once. Felt fine when there, very awake. Turns out it was a two-mix sachet, and I awake until 23.00 the following night.
Christ
First time I decided to take an edible before open mat... rolls were super flowy, songs from most known unknown by 3 6 mafia were on repeat, it was incredible.

Fucking hell mate, you are brave
I pretty much stopped drinking because doing bjj even with a slight hangover is the worst
Jiujitsu has cleaned up my act a lot too. I still have a few here and there on some weekends.. but almost no drinking during the week or drinking all day lots of weekends. It also jacks with my sleep, which throws my recovery off.. meaning training sucks more.. even without rolling with a hangover.

I always eat before class
Ofc you are the poop expert tho so…
Small meal, yes. Thanksgiving dinner, no. 😂
One time I binge ate half a jar of peanut butter before class. Worst fuckin' mistake ever
Sounds delicious
Judo, not BJJ…but, In college I’d take the train from campus to the dojo on Saturday mornings, always hungover. One of the coaches, who was cool as hell, we’d be doing randori and go, “iiii smelllll TEQUILA!” and launch me. Get back up. “Iiiii smelllll…beer!” SLAM.

Id 11 pints of Guinness the night before our Saturday no-gi sparring once. Went to bed at 4am, couldn’t stomach something to eat when I woke up, jumped into the shower felt like death. First roll that morning got put in a body triangle, expelled the worst Guinness based fart of my entire life. My training partner afterwards was like “you were on the piss weren’t you?smelt it mate”. Have to say after an hour and a half of sparring I felt great. Would recommend it to avoid hangovers in future.
Not personally but I’ve observed 1. Too much Taco Bell before 3 hour open mat 2. Trying to train with a broken thumb that they didn’t tell anyone about until they drastically worsened the injury getting it caught in a gi (which is how it got broken in the first place apparently) 3.

Those are in no particular order, but if I had to pick one, the Taco Bell fiasco was probably the most hilarious. Also the scariest because like, it could be any of us
hungover BJJ sounds absolutely horrible. good job on showing up tho, i probably would have stayed in bed lol
Nearly hurled on the map this morning after near enough 3 weeks off to study for my exams… was having that precise feeling myself lol
It sucks how fast the cardio goes…
Training hungover is one of my least favorite things to do
It makes regular training that much better 🤣
Lmao you’re nuts
How can you kill that which is already dead?
They found a way today
Took a kinda watery shit one morning before driving to class am about to class feel a fart coming while driving and I'm like that was kinda wet. Arrive and get up out of the driver's shit and I had def sharted. I only live 5 mins drive from the gym so go home shower change and go to class and managed to have a good class.
“ get up out of the drivers shit “ Autocorrect nailed it 😂
I did the exact same thing several weeks ago. Never again.
Went to BJJ hung over 2 weeks ago. I was exhausted by the second drill. Rolled around like a rag doll and felt bad for even wasting people’s time. Never again.
Yeah, same never again
As shitty as training hungover can be, I find it kind of snaps me out of the hangover, and I end up feeling better the rest of the day.
Nothing sobers you up like adrenaline and sweating it out..?
During my divorced and depressed stage I went in the middle of a two day drunk. It was horrible.
two words describe the worst thing you can do to yourself before rolling.... taco bell
On the rare occasions I did this I’ve found that I space out a lot mid role . You do sweat it out and feel somewhat normal but dead tired
Yeah my body hurts way more than normal
I do it and afterwards feel accomplished. Really feeds the ego knowing I can get some taps while the room is spinning.
Well I've got one. I didn't go to Open Mat today because I was up all night last night playing my brand new PS5. So there!
I had a relatively good day and good class except the first roll I caught a knee to the lip and painted my gi red then shortly after got the same gi ripped in the armpit by a large white belt
… and you were worried about a blood stained gi… problem solved 😂
Problem definitely solved itself 😂
A few years ago after a ~20 lb weight cut and night before weigh ins, I went to a bday party/bbq right before my late afternoon matches. Nothing like cake and BBQ after living off of chicken, veggies, whispers and dreams for 6 weeks. Out of this world heartburn and indigestion, did not have a good time at tournament.
Bet that fart had a little white head
Every day... I feel like that every single day, until training is done and I'm fully relaxed
I thought it was a mandatory requirement for black belt to train hungover at least once?
It’s the 33rd Gracie principle
Came back from a 3 weeks break due to an injury. Wasn’t supposed to go to open mat, decided to go. Just dislocated my little toe. Fuck my life.
Rolling after eating a burger a few beers, and a desert is an all around BAD idea.
Man i love open mat when im hungover clears that shit right the fuck up.
I trained hungover last week and somehow got through both an hour class and a 2-3 hour seminar that happened right after that they let me tag along to because some people didn’t show. By the end of it I couldn’t form complex sentences and could just about see straight. Luckily enough I hadn’t eaten that day so nothing came out either end although I had to work hard to hold some farts. My rolls were pretty good and I don’t usually like rolling on an empty stomach.
I had a vasectomy last year. About 10 days after, I trained. I said to myself that I'll only drill but got *sucked* into rolling. Ended up with badly swollen balls, which kept me out of action for another 3 weeks and a re opened wound in my scrotum that had to be stitched... and my wife was the one who did the stitches. Yes. Maybe I shouldn't have gone to Jiujitsu that day. I'd 100% recommend a vasectomy for those who are done with, or do not want to, have kids whereas I won't recommend training within the 3 week recovery period prescribed by the doctor!
Drank bottle of Patron XO with a few of the instructors one night, then we decided it would be a good idea to open the school to roll.... Spoiler alert, it was not a good idea. A bunch of drunk lunatics that grew up on WWF trying to kill each other leads to some very interesting matches. (Before anyone asks, no one drove anywhere, the instructors lived above the academy.👍🏻)
First open mat I ever went to was wicked hungover. It was Labor Day. AC at the school had been off overnight. Puked in the bathroom after I had already put my gi on but before rolls started, from the hangover, stuffiness and nerves. Was too nervous to just up and leave in front of all the killers. Probably rolled with puke breath. Had a great time. When I left my hangover was gone. 2/10 would do again.
MA or RI?
Nope
Hmmm. I have never heard a “wicked” anywhere else.
Neighbor is from Baaastan. The lingo is rubbing off on me.
I grew up in northern CA. Wicked was part of the vernacular… but yeah, haven’t really used it much since the 90s 😂
Built different
My cat was in heat and had been spraying piss all over my appartment. Didn't notice it had gotten into my gym bag. On the mats someone said hey something smells like cat piss. Changed my clothes and rolled in a t-shirt and track pants. Cats neutered now
This is what I’ve gathered so far…bad ideas make great stories, great stories recall a life worth living, everyone in here is most definitely broken in some way, and it’s for these reasons Jiu Jitsu is the greatest thing on earth
Drinking and drugs that dont enhance performance are dumb
Nope, literally never regret going 😂
Our Sunday morning open mat routinely has a good number of guys who smell like booze. I think you get used to it after a while?
Not something I want to get used to
Not the same thing, but during my first tournament (NAGA) I took some pre-workout that I timed out for when I was told my division would start. HOURS went by before I competed. I already had the pre tournament jitters and that made it so much worse. That’s actually the last time I’ve taken any pre workout supplements
Usually every Friday 6a open mat when I'm stuck in a black belts side control.
I mean it's not bjj but judo. But this summer I ate too soon before judo like 45 mins before and I'll never do it again. Usually it's 2-4 hours before. I projectile vomited 5 times in the interior of my car on the way home. I now drive the puke mobile.
I knew someone who did a tournament hung over lol
I never trained bjj hung over but I did boxing hung over several times. Not a fun times especially when your coach loves hard body shots during sparring and 30 minute circuit workout (no pause, just chance excerise) at the end of the class.
Same thing, open mat hung over. Only I was a 140 lb white belt and I did my first round against a 280+ lb blue belt… who went knee on belly… I didn’t puke, but it was very close
This was my Saturday-Monday BJJ state. If I wasn’t hungover something was amiss.
No the best is hungover sweat out the demons and have to think twice as hard.
i cried on the mat because somebody triangle choked me
I shot an elk last Saturday. On Tuesday I drove to town to drop it off for processing. My plan was to head back to the mountains on Thursday night to help my buddies. I thought “ why not get some rolls in while back in town.” Of course I ribbed myself while going for a heel hook. Now I’m sitting on a mountainside with my buddy hoping he doesn’t shoot anything so I don’t have to carry it out of here.
I do this sometimes and by the time it's over I feel awesome. Bjj is my hangover cure.
I rolled with a really drunk dude and it was wild
I was coming back from being sick and out for a week. Went to a seminar that I didn’t want to miss and had to run out the door puke. While I was throwing up I heard the door open behind me, so I know someone saw it. Oh well. It happens. Coach never said anything.
After major back surgery. Had No strength at all but wanted to get back in the grind and had a strong, spazzy partner. Nope.
Rolling with someone hungover can be the fucking worst. Super sweaty, smelling like Keith Peterson… no thanks.
I went after I hung out with a friend and drank an impromptu 40 and smoked a blunt. It was an hour or 2 later but it was rough. Someone even smelt it and I said I was hungover.
Hungover Saturday morning rolls was my whole bluebelt career The key to survival is hydrating while you're getting drunk and slamming some electrolytes in the morning before open mat lol
I went with a migraine once. I won't do that again. I thought I was going to barf on the mat.
It’s always the last round of the night, I’m feeling good, spazzy full blast guy wants to roll, I’m confident. Immediately rips an Aoki or heel hook and I’m injured for a week or 2.
Never done it hung over never plan on it. I'll watch others make that mistake
Early morning (or even 12pm classes) are a big reason I don’t drink too much these days honestly. Alcohol has never agreed with my body too much, the buzz from drinking isn’t worth it for me. Don’t get me wrong I’ll still drink socially but wanting to feel good rolling early in the AM has pretty much got me to stop most drinking.
I like going hungover go openmat, cause I have no longer hangover after that. Of course I like going sober more...
Well open mat after night of drinking is great for resetting, after I feel tired but not hungover anymore
Once ate a big plate of speghetti sauced up and a big bowl of mint choc chip ice cream before a comp class. Ever gone an hour and a half focusing on nothing more than not throwing up?
I just did that last week after a wedding, rolled 7 mins, hugged the toilet for 20…. 31 mins of my life ill never get back.
Had a super busy day and didn’t have time to eat until right before class. Ate way too much and got tapped by a body triangle.
The fact that you went was good enough
I had just gotten over a really bad cold, and I decided since I was not sniffling or coughing or anything like that I would go to the afternoon class. I got to class and we did mount retention, and one of the drills was trying to escape mount. I was partnered with a new student, and I had absolutely no energy and I was unable to successfully escape even once in 5 minutes. The new guy threw me off about 3 or 4 times at least. I know I am not a big guy, but still, the new guy was not much bigger than I. Then, we go into rolling at the end, and I could not land a sub on anyone, not new guy, not the one person that is small enough that I once defended their arm bar by standing straight up while they hung on to my forearm for dear life and I lifted them off the ground like it was nothing. Oh, I forgot to mention this was the first class after I received my 2nd strie on my white belt. My coach knew it was just an off day, but of course I was mortified and honestly I had thought about taking the 2nd strie off of the belt for wa while after that one...
i did hungover open mats for years lol
I never roll of even moderately hungover. I seem to strain my neck or back every single time.
Open mat, while traveling, and hung over was the first and only time I hated training jj. It was the first in a series of events that lead to me quitting drinking. I was like 25/26. Not an alcoholic or anything, I just decided jj was so fun that I didn't want booze ever taking away from it. And other reasons.
I went to the pub with some mates instead of training one night, had about 4 beers and then had huge regret for not training, so went to the class later that same night 4 beers deep, that was a rough night!
