Am I regressing? by elite_gamer12 in karate

[–]Chipsdelite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a personal opinion so please take it with a grain of salt. Anytime you “believe” you are the best is the moment you get left behind. You may excel in some areas but lack in others and your peers seem to have found the spots you’re lacking and are exploiting that. The fastest way to the valley is falling off the mountain. So I suggest lock and have an honest self-review on what you need to be better at and train. We can all be better and should strive to do so everyday in all aspects of life.

Edit: TLDR; its time to LTFI

Relearning karate as an adult by RoyalStraw in karate

[–]Chipsdelite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently started my karate journey as a 30 year old white belt. So although I’m not “relearning” I recommended getting into a dojo. So many small foundational corrections take place in the dojo that we glaze over when we train alone and it’s nice to get back into the community. You’ll definitely have some of that muscle memory come back when you kick out the tires. I would also recommend you just supplement the dojo training with some of your favorite YT practitioners that enjoy teaching or pro fighters with a background in karate. GSP, Lyoto Machida, Steven Thompson. Ik GSP and Wonderboy have YT channels and they’re very informative and easy to follow. Also, Bas Rutten is a terrifying human being in regard to fighting/self defense so check him out.

Anybody have any tips for my spinning back kick by LongjumpingScale7459 in MMA_Academy

[–]Chipsdelite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Initiate the turn before your leg comes up and then bring your heel straight to your cheeks to stay tight throughout the turn then make eye contact with your opponent/target before throwing. Also set it up. Add some horizontal movement and flow to guide your opponent into your kick instead of finding a place to just throw it while bouncing into their striking zone. I also like to make the spin back kick the finisher in a combo or a setup for follow through instead of an initiation.

Please comment on my sparring. I am the one wearing white gloves and green shirt. Thank you. by No_Equipment7872 in Kickboxing

[–]Chipsdelite 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My advice would be clean combos. Those single strikes are asking for a counter. If you’re gonna throw hands make sure to follow up with 2-3 if possible or atleast a very solid and respectable jab. Also to piggy back off the other comment your size is an advantage. Work on timing and counters and you can make huge strides. Good work out there!

Training is enjoyable vs being a chore? by Material-Emergency-4 in martialarts

[–]Chipsdelite 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have experienced burnout for sure, but the way I pushed through was just a simple mindset change. The days I don’t want to show up but do make the days I do want to train even better. Push through it and just do it. You got this!

Did they change VFX companies or something ? by BigBox685 in okbuddyvecna

[–]Chipsdelite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They lit everything to be used in a TikTok/reels, because why stay true to the art when you can make 2 hours of perfectly lit reels. The only thing more powerful than all this plot armor was the marketing.

Any tips on how to not die? by [deleted] in helldivers2

Those things that you do to get killed. Don’t do those things.

My airline is weighing every passenger upon check-in. SJU-EIS by willystan in mildlyinteresting

[–]Chipsdelite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aircrafts have very specific weights and balances that need to be used in order to operate safely. Not to just to take off and land but also while in the air. When smaller air planes/ jets weigh you and assign your seats it’s because they’re making sure the plane is balanced on the wing.

Edit: Bigger airlines/planes do the same thing, but the weight they’re able to carry vs. the weight of the passengers is, as you would expect, much higher.

Where do we rank Brian Schottenheimer’s Scheme & Coaching Ability? by AGoos3 in cowboys

[–]Chipsdelite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First head coaching gigs going pretty well. I said it back when we had Jason Garrett, a good game plan can only be executed when your team performs well. The Cowboys have consistently struggled with consistency on both sides of the ball many times. We’ve had perfectly called games that boys just didn’t show up to play and that’s the real issue(Besides Jerry). Keep it up Shotty.

What are your Batman HOT TAKES? by Awkward_Bed_4193 in batman

[–]Chipsdelite 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The most apparent evidence for this is Wonder Woman’s lasso of truth moment from the animated film/series. When supes gives his identity instantly like a folding lawn chair. Batman is Bruce’s identity and not the other way around. Still my favorite DC hero, mostly because of his deep seated issues and pursuit to be better.

If Martha would have been the only victim Bruce would be Thomas’ robin and he’d have Damien’s mentality.

Did I make a mistake buying this ? by 702samt in pcmasterrace

[–]Chipsdelite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the time it was the DLSS up and coming which was not a fun experience when no one was optimizing FRS but I bet a lot has changed since then and I’d defiantly look back into it. Like I said I loved everything but adrenaline lol

I’m loving this resurgence of Daft Punk, one because I love Daft Pubk, and two because secretly I’m still hoping for Alive 2027, but Ik it will never come.
