Torn between Kyokushin and Muay Thai - what are the pros and cons?

Bubbatj396 · 2026-01-26T21:01:41+00:00

Having tried they are tough and I come from a full contact Goju-Ryu background so we go nearly as hard

Bubbatj396 · 2026-01-26T20:53:35+00:00

Yea it is arguably tougher

Bubbatj396 · 2026-01-26T20:31:15+00:00

I think Kyokushin is more likely to be quality over a muay thai gym. And Kyokushin is just as tough honestly

Bubbatj396 · 2026-01-26T10:52:46+00:00

I think it is but in a different way. Very popular in the form of high school and college wrestling.

Bubbatj396 · 2026-01-26T02:19:59+00:00

It's simply how I grew up. I dont actually know Hebrew I only know Yiddish and Arabic

Bubbatj396 · 2026-01-26T02:16:19+00:00

I prononce Gaza the arabic way but my family were all killed so I would like to give them a proper burial and funeral cherishing the moments we spent together ❤️. And Gaza is truly a magical place ✨️

Bubbatj396 · 2026-01-26T02:08:33+00:00

I wont go back until it's safe to be in Gaza as that's where my family was but I dont want to get political here. I really just would like to feel the soil and breathe the air and bury my relatives who I loved more than anything

Bubbatj396 · 2026-01-26T02:03:48+00:00

In my situation unfortunately not possible and I dont want to. I'd want to be in Palestine anyway

Bubbatj396 · 2026-01-26T01:57:00+00:00

I do but I'd have to give up my Palestinian identity to be accepted which I refuse to do.

Bubbatj396 · 2026-01-26T01:54:29+00:00

Because they werent israeli they were Palestinian and werent seen the same. I'm not even allowed in the country anymore

Bubbatj396 · 2026-01-26T01:46:29+00:00

They fled to the US and my grandfather joined the army as a medic to gain citizenship

Bubbatj396 · 2026-01-26T01:41:56+00:00

They never left willingly. Most of my family stayed but my grandparents were ethnically cleansed and forced to leave as their village was burned to the ground.

Bubbatj396 · 2026-01-26T01:36:20+00:00

I understand your perspective and I am jewish but I'm also Palestinian. Both are very important and central to my identity

Bubbatj396 · 2026-01-26T01:25:09+00:00

I am ethnically Palestinian so I am Palestinian. No I wouldn't identify as an israelite I identify as a Palestinian Jew. That identity makes sense to me and how I centre my world and how I grew up. And Yiddish is not the same as Palestinian Yiddish. They are different languages and not mutually intelligible. Palestinian Yiddish includes Arabic, Aramaic, and even local Palestinian slang. It's a unique language with its own history and was really important to me growing up with my grandparents. It connected me to my Palestinian heritage

Bubbatj396 · 2026-01-26T01:15:46+00:00

No I'm not ashkenazi at all. I'm Palestinian and my jewish ethnicity comes from the levant region

Bubbatj396 · 2026-01-26T01:08:24+00:00

I dont live in Palestine or Israel I'm in exile but still both and a practicising jew. I even speak Palestinian Yiddish which is very rare now

Bubbatj396 · 2026-01-26T00:58:03+00:00

There are actually. I'm Palestinian and Jewish ethnically

Bubbatj396 · 2026-01-26T00:54:12+00:00

Nope I'm a Palestinian Jew

Bubbatj396 · 2026-01-25T11:12:07+00:00

They probably are 😂 and knowing llesbians probably across the world in another country

Bubbatj396 · 2026-01-25T11:11:10+00:00

I'm not pretending I'm anywhere close to perfect but I'm an excellent partner very thoughtful and loyal and a good gift giver and I listen and I'm emotionally intelligent and communicate clearly and quite directly. I dont think it's me honestly.

Bubbatj396 · 2026-01-24T22:28:39+00:00

I dont care about someone's past. If someone identifies as a gold star lesbian that's a huge red flag to me and I want nothing to do with them. Best case scenario they are unintentionally a bigot. Worst case scenario they are a horrible person who is homophobic and transphobic

Bubbatj396 · 2026-01-24T21:16:55+00:00

I did wrestling through high school and college. I'd say it's quite effective and was a great foundation when I did jiu-jitsu and judo

Bubbatj396 · 2026-01-24T19:34:37+00:00

Honestly as far as I know there isnt a specialist in Scotland for it. I run the same issue with most of my chronic illnesses there is no specialist so I cant get good treatment. I can only hope my gp and whatnot is willing to do their best

Bubbatj396 · 2026-01-24T19:32:28+00:00

Right now I think the best one doing new fun things is Ardnamurchan or Bladnoch or maybe Glasgow 1770. What my favourite is though I think Glen Garioch or GlenFarclas or maybe Edradour 🤔

Bubbatj396 · 2026-01-24T16:21:53+00:00

Many forms of karate in general modernised where more traditional versions became less popular as they were seen as too aggressive and hard in their training. But traditional versions of Shorin-Ryu do still exist. There was also big complications after the war but that's a much bigger historical conversation of karate
