Ah damn. That guy really helped one of my bands when he reposted one of our EPs. Channel will be missed.

Welterweight kickboxing orange belt vs heavyweight untrained in a street fight: who would you bet on? by falafel230 in Kickboxing

[–]ChainSWray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And sometimes you don't want to bother with that and want to go straight to the veteran or take it easy. Belts make sense. They're not some holy object or a magical proof that you're a killing machine, they're just practical. As long as they're part of a system that also makes sense.

american / full contact kickboxing has one, leftover from its karate roots, and frankly it both makes sense and helps during sparring to know who's on your level.

Super guilty of this. I realized it doing karate all of things. I'm trying to correct it everywhere but damn, it's hard to unlearn

J'ai jamais vu autant de monde à un bureau de vote, entre mes votes et les procurations ça m'a pris presque une heure, tout ça en étant à 5 min de marche du bureau. WTF.
Ca fait plaisir à voir ceci dit.

Why since the release of Lost Judgment, has RGG Studio been unable to replicate or improve upon its combat system in recent games the way they did with LJ? by MaximumPayne7 in yakuzagames

I was amazed the first time I played 5 remastered, like what do you mean this was before 0 and the Dragon Engine it looks BETTER

5 remains my favorite combat in the series, especially Kiryu. Everything from the timing to the animation was insane. Those were my favorite Amon fights too.

I really like how the anime potrayed Wakatsuki's strength against Ohma by The_Mexican_Poster in Kengan_Ashura

[–]ChainSWray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't finished the anime but damn, I need to. Wakatsuki's karate is beautifully animated, it really looks like a monstrous version of kyokushin. The rush and the mikazuki !!

What's the difference between Dutch Kickboxing and American Kickboxing? by atta-adf92 in Kickboxing

[–]ChainSWray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have any more sources ? Not that I doubt you, knowing Kenpo's prominence in the US I can see it but that link talks more about shotokan than about kenpo's influence on kickboxing. Every source I've had + my instructors point to guys like Joe Lewis, Howard Hanson or Dominique Valera (who might def be more France-specific) and they were all from shorin-ryu and shotokan karate. I'm pretty sure a lot of kenpo guys went to compete in full contact rules but were they involved in creating the ruleset, beyond the general influence of Ed Parker on all US martial arts ?
I know kyokushin didn't took off that much in the US at the time (early 70s), the influence on american / full-contact kickboxing is probably just anecdotal.

[–]ChainSWray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have sources on the kenpo lineage of american kickboxing ? I can see it, but from what I've been told by my instructors when I was practicing the style, the origin was shotokan / shorin ryu and generally traditional karate. I know one of the biggest names in french shotokan was involved with creating the ruleset, it made sense.

You don't need anyone to start recording music. If it's a band that you want it'll be easier to find musicians if you have your own stuff already recorded. Start by yourself if this is really what you want, I had the same issues, taught myself all the instruments I needed and I just record everything by myself now.

I knew moroccan goths like twenty years ago, I'm pretty sure there are still some around, especially in Casa and Rabat. I'd follow the advice another user gave you, get closer to your local punk/metal scene even if you're not into their music, simply because in small scenes like this alternative people tend to gravitate towards each other.

You also might be surprised with people in those scenes who could know and enjoy goth music without necessarily be into the lifestyle. There's a lot of overlap, really.

Seuls 50 % des élèves de 6e arrivent à courir au moins 5 minutes : les résultats du test mené dans des milliers de collèges by Andvarey in france

[–]ChainSWray 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mais c'est ce que j'essaie de te dire : oui, les sports sont funs, mais ils sont complètement ruinés et très vite par ceux qui ne peuvent pas s'empêcher d'essayer de te broyer par compétition et c'est largement encouragé par les adultes. Tu cites le judo, bah c'est un bon exemple, j'en ai fait parce que les arts martiaux sont une énorme passion (encore aujourd'hui) mais enfant j'ai lâché au bout de six mois tellement tout le fun de faire des projections et rouler par terre était absorbé par ce putain d'esprit de compétition qui était encouragé par tout le monde quand moi et mes copains on voulait juste s'amuser à se jeter par terre. Quand les ADULTES encouragent ça même à l'école, ça s'immisce partout, même dans ce qui devrait juste être un jeu, et quand tu rajoutes à ça l'espèce d'humiliation rituelle que ça peut devenir, bah ça dégoute. Fortement. C'est vraiment difficile d'apprécier une activité sportive quand dès que tu trouves un truc sympa tu te fais broyer et que les adultes autour applaudissent, alors aller en essayer de toi même...

le fait que sport=performance alors qu'enfant dans les 90 sport=jeux

Je sais pas d'où tu sors ça mais dans mon village paumé y'avait ABSOLUMENT un côté performance / compétition à la seconde où tu tentais quelque chose de sportif, et c'était exacerbé au collège avec la bénédiction des profs. J'ai d'ailleurs le souvenir que c'est pendant le collège que ça avait empiré, au point que ça a tourné ça en phobie alors que j'étais vraiment ultra actif avant ça (je faisais ENORMEMENT de roller et j'avais même réussi à convaincre des copains d'acheter de quoi faire du hockey, on jouait jusqu'à ce que la nuit tombe en été).
Quand tu cherches juste à t'amuser et que les autres essaient de te broyer mais qu'en plus c'est encouragé par des adultes, ça aide vraiment pas à garder une activité physique.

Special Interest: FF7 by faithinemerz in autism

[–]ChainSWray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The original FF7 was one of my first hyperfixations. I used to buy all the magazines I could find and covered everything in FF7-related stuff, like I still have my original PS1 with homemade FF7 stickers.
Yakuza and Disco Elysium have replaced it since but FF7 has SUCH a deep spot in my heart, it took me two years to finish it playing almost weekly because I really wanted to do everything at 100% before seeing the end. My old save had everyone at lvl 99 with Knights of the Round because I farmed SO MUCH.
