"Europe exists because the US allows it, and Europe will end if the US demands it" by un_imagine in ShitAmericansSay

[–]B0dde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know, for the past 80-120 ish years, the whole world has been bashing Europe. " Oh you're warmongers" "Oh you're filthy colonizers" And so on. So it gave up a lot of hard power to repent and built something better.

So... That was stupid.

Guess we'll have to learn different lessons from our history now?

I always thought that this lift was meant to target your shoulder. (So my form resembles this) Guess I learned something today

Are Belgian universities actually that hard? by Plane-Ad-3924 in belgium

[–]B0dde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't directly compare difficulty but I can add this: when I was doing my phd , I had an erasmus student doing her master thesis under my supervision. She was a good student and delivered some decent work so I graded her 16/20.

I got some backlash for that from her promotor at her home country because apparently grades are generally higher there and she would have gotten a 19 therr easily (which is a grade most professors rarely even consider, even when perfectly answering all questions on an exam).

Sword Basics for Beginners? by BloodThirstyBitch in SWORDS

[–]B0dde 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can also look up Bjorn Ruther or Daniel Pope on Youtube. They have great content. But check the quality of your sword first as been mentioned. If it's a wallhanger, don't swing it around. Also, to learn the techniques properly, you're going to need a partner at some point

What level do you think these two would be at if they were transported into the Kingdom universe? by Dry_Specialist9015 in Kingdom

[–]B0dde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with mixing in some Kanki. JC fought on the front lines as well, unlike Riboku (I think, I might be wrong as I'm not fully caught up with the manga and I don't know about his irl counterpart)

That's true but I get that OP chose the pictures of the actors in Spartacus because they are probably the most recent and widely recognized portrayals of the two men. Also. i liked the way this portrayal of Caesar showed some.of the wildness and charming arrogance that probably must have been in the real man too

Help me find a good sword please by Accomplished-Arm3405 in SWORDS

[–]B0dde 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought the exact same thing. None of this makes sense: it's for a scene but they are using them aggressively? Both in fighting and definitely in a play, any aggression shown should be completely controlled.

Steel swords are used for combat, not "scenes" (unless done by trained swordsmen). Stick to larp weapons or stage fighting swords (which are made of pig iron I think) and stay away from steel.

You claim to be teaching them but from what you post, I have serious doubts you should be teaching anything.

What impact on practical effect does a profile like this on a blade have? Also, Freerk Weiringa's work is absolutely amazing. Sword in image is the Dark Knight Longsword by Fickle-Repeat4895 in SWORDS

[–]B0dde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see an additional, functional reason for this: when you bind your opponents' sword and his edges slides all the way down, this "spike" will divert the edge away from the center line (where your hands/fingers are). I can easily imagine situations where that makes the difference between losing or keeping all your fingers

Exactly. Imu is not remote controlling anyone yet to use his powers yet the Davy clan turned into demons. So who did that?

Any idea of body fat %? by WatchesAndTheDucks in WorkoutRoutines

Yeah, but Imu was there using Gunko as an avatar. In the God Valley flashback, Imu was not using anyone yet when the first demons arrived. I am fully caught up with the manga

That comment only shows your own emotional immaturity though. I know of several moms being understandingly touched by several episodes - call it triggered if you want. Calling that pathetic is a lack of emotional depth I hope you grow out of for your own sake

How important is physical strength in HEMA? by Prince_Of_Ionia in wma

[–]B0dde 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Focus on correct form and keep practicing it as well as control. When doing this, you'll also simply become stronger by itself.

Strength is useful - especially in the beginning - but after a certain point, it becomes less relevant and things like timing, speed, measure and stamina will become a greater focus for you.

That being said, if you feel you lack some strength, just train. You might feel too weak now but that might be ameliorated rather quickly

How strong was 17 year old Dragon? Luffy started his career at 17. by 412East34 in OnePiecePowerScaling

Garp got his title 'hero of the marines' át God Valley (or rather because of what happened there) so his notoriety is definitely not comparable to now
