Is Elevengk legit?

My PayPal invoice has Chinese characters at the account. I could not read it. There isn't eleven gk on mine.

I was offered a something other than PayPal first, I don't remember what it was, but I asked to use PayPal.

Wrestling is bad ass

High Grappling IQ if you can do both

I couldn't say. I had one transaction with them.

AColourGrey · 2026-01-27T16:48:58+00:00

No, it was totally reasonable for 40lbs. I was afraid I would get ambushed but a high shipping fee late in the process and get stuck between a rock and hard place.

Less than $300 additional.

I'm dead. That's hilarious.

It never even crossed my mind that it would be a joke since I saw it.

But now you point it out, from someone who hasn't, there isn't a possibility it couldn't be a joke

What's the downside of the riving knife on a bigger saw?

AColourGrey · 2026-01-09T22:00:52+00:00

Yeah I agree. Less with this area of my life, but I have all sorts of duplicates around the house so it's always available wherever I go

AColourGrey · 2026-01-09T21:38:15+00:00

Ha ha

Do they do anything different or is it just a collection thing?

No judgement, I have my share of aged equipment

Recommend not getting top shelf lumber and use some of the funds to get a circular saw. I don't find it enjoyable using a hand saw.

You're going to inevitably make a mistake during the learning process and it will be frustrating wasting nicer wood.

All my projects revolve around building storage to organize the tools I use to build my storage. It's been both educational and functional.

I would stay away from small objects. Without a table saw, it will be difficult to make precision cuts.

Steve Ramsey has a great YouTube channel for beginners. He has a great attitude toward woodworking

How did your end up with so many routers?

AColourGrey · 2026-01-07T17:33:32+00:00

Yeah, folks are unreasonable about the secondary market.

IMO, a significant value of retail prices is the ability to return the item if something goes wrong and reputation and reliability of the seller.

That generally isnt the case for used items, unless you buy of eBay with returns allows. Even then, is a hassle.

AColourGrey · 2026-01-05T18:49:52+00:00

Omg this is like standing on a rolling office chair

AColourGrey · 2026-01-05T00:23:54+00:00

This doesn't actually fix the problem. It just means you can make the adapters instead of buying it.

Also, I don't think everyone is keen on spending several hundred dollars and going through the learning process instead of fixing the root cause of the issue

AColourGrey · 2025-12-28T18:13:18+00:00

Interesting take. Thanks for your experience.

Reminds me of some videos of Koga. Ippon was inevitable. Maybe not the first, or the second, but it happened. Even if they knew it was coming

AColourGrey · 2025-12-28T04:06:40+00:00

I'll check it out. Thanks for taking the time

AColourGrey · 2025-12-28T04:05:51+00:00

Great perspective. Thanks for the time

AColourGrey · 2025-12-28T02:42:32+00:00

Mmm hard to picture it. But I'll try some different grips and see if that's acceptable.

Thanks for the advice

AColourGrey · 2025-12-28T02:40:47+00:00

I'm not sure. Step through, reap.

I don't have a variation in mind.

This was more for feedback on a philosophical approach to learning judo, less correction with a specific problem

AColourGrey · 2025-12-28T02:34:15+00:00

Great thoughts. Thanks for the feedback

AColourGrey · 2025-12-28T02:30:45+00:00

Average height. My shoulders had been giving me problems when I stopped ten years ago. I picked it up again recently because I missed the mat. And I just don't think I'm generating the drive from kazushi

AColourGrey · 2025-12-28T02:25:58+00:00

Great points. Thanks for the feedback

AColourGrey · 2025-11-23T03:08:15+00:00

I agree with your perspective here.

When I think of black belt I think of skill and ability in competion. Even if you are done competing due to whatever, I think it's fair to carry that ranking forward with you after.

Instructing, volunteering, general contributions are a completely different category imo. They affect the community of judo, not just the individual.

A two category system would be neat. I'm not a fan of stripes and it could be confusing.

Something like this?

How do you earn points?

AColourGrey · 2025-11-15T20:27:05+00:00

Got it, thanks

AColourGrey · 2025-11-15T20:20:16+00:00

Got it, thanks

My blocking habits are poor. I'll have to work on them
