"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

I vote bjj since I've never encountered experienced judo in a street fight.

Are there any vids of mma fighters using judo?

Both are awesome, but I bet pple will underestimate judo. In a street fight on hard concrete, keeping the balance, staying on top, and slamming em into the ground is pretty effective.

I do both martial arts and its really hard for me to recommend one over the other. It really depends on the school. Both Judo and BJJ schools should be teaching both ground fighting and takedowns.

For stand up IMHO Judo is the better addition to my game.

I go BJJ. Judo is more of a throwing sport which definetly is effective, but in BJJ i have learnt both throws and submissions making it more effective. I have had MMA fights with competitors who have a strong judo discipline, and even though they've taken me to the ground successfully heaps of times, once there I dominate using ground and pound and submission
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

i would say BJJ but only if you have good standup

Kerpal, everybody however wears clothes in real life, so the grips and the rest of the gi game translates pretty damn well (especially now that longer sleeves are in use with the colder weather)

Bonez, check out vids of Karo Parysian on youtube, he does some sick throws without using a gi

Where I be at
I dabbled in BJJ for a while and can say that during our MMA competitions, our dojo always came out on top over most other single-form martial arts dojos.

Then again, it could just be that we were trained better.
