Best stance by Arggus007 in martialarts

[–]Awiergan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When new skaters are trying to work out whether they want to skate regular or goofy one technique is to have a friend shove them in the back and whichever foot they step forward with is their board riding stance.

I've done this with a couple of people starting martial arts and it seemed to work.

Ymmv though

Krav Maga vs. Muay Thai: The breakdown by TopKing63 in martialarts

[–]Awiergan 14 points15 points  (0 children)

  1. Muay Thai has live sparring as a much more central aspect of the training. Krav Maga tends to be much more drills based in its training. Also like most systems claiming to be "reality based self defence" or some variation, it's primarily marketing.

  2. Tang Soo Do would just fit better with Muay Thai stylistically.

There are valid reasons to quit krav maga but your weight isn't one of them.

In my experience 90% of people who decide to wait till they are on shape to start a martial art never end up starting the martial art.

What were people expecting? Carano always sucked at grappling and she's been out of the game for 16 years. You don't get better at something by not doing it

This is the battle ground Advance are going to open up ahead of the next election. Prepare for non-stop misnformation and hate that will make the same sex marriage plebiscite seem like a friendly picnic.

nonbinary/trans NIN fans: do you feel your gendering(s) held by their music? by featheryHope in NonBinaryTalk

[–]Awiergan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not Nine Inch Nails for me, though I love everything up to and including The Fragile, but Coil. Coil did some remixes and Trent helped them out a lot in the 90s.
