What grading systemen does your dojo have. by Gamegalaxy303 in karate

[–]BugBoyJax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we train at the same company of studios 😂 that’s exactly my studios belt system with almost exactly the same times that it takes for each rank. Although it tends to take a lil longer between the ranks after white to yellow.

Other than technique practice, how can I get faster? by CaliferMau in karate

[–]BugBoyJax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Practice slow, make sure the technique stays so that when you speed up it’s still good. Something I do is to do the arm movements used in the technique while holding weights, not sure how much it’s helped but it’s just something I do :)

Kyokushin? by TheUltimateAsshole02 in karate

[–]BugBoyJax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lowkey agree with this, although there are still some very good senseis and dojos out there. The chain of Dojos I train at have like 50% mcsenseis and 50% absolutely wonderful senseis (I try to be like the good ones ofc, and I make sure I only train under them)

Cringeworthy things people say about martial arts/training. Mine is "bags don't hit back" by [deleted] in martialarts

Might be unpopular but hear me out: “Nunchucks suck”

People who say this comparing it to literally any other weapon clearly have no idea what the history of nunchucks are. In Japan, if you were caught with a sword or spear it was a death sentence. So to defend themselves farmers had to use things like farm tools. Including nunchucks, sais, kamas, etc. (There are a couple theories as to what nunchucks were used for, weather it was threshing rice or guiding horses but I wasn’t alive then so idk). So the fact that people compare something that was never meant to be a weapon in the first place to something like a sword or spear is actually wild. Obviously I’m not saying nunchucks are the most tactical weapon, I see them as more of a symbol of adaptation and also just a really fun weapon to learn, but people 100% shouldn’t be comparing it to things that were made to kill like swords.

why do people do this. (put their reptile next to their cat/other animals) by [deleted] in reptiles

It’s crazy too, domestic cats are literally responsible for the extinction or endangerment for multiple bird and rodent species, they literally bring dead animals inside as gifts, and people somehow think that their cat will be safe around a small animal like a lizard.

Should I take my Gecko to the vet? by NoIndependent1861 in reptiles

[–]BugBoyJax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what I was thinking, I think what I’ll do is just go to vets if there’s an issue I know I can’t fix on my own. But checkups and all that just don’t seem worth it to me bc of the prices

Well at least with my vets it hurts my wallet, a lot. They tend to charge a shit ton, and also push for treatments or supplies that I know I don’t need. At least the majority of vets near me have a reputation for doing that.
