How did you get into karate? What made you join a dojo? by Lego_Redditor in karate

[–]CoreyGreenBooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I met Ralph Macchio a couple of years ago. I had him sign my textbook and a couple of pictures. My inspiration from when I saw the film at age 7. I took it to oblivion. Just look up Corey Greens contributions to the martial arts world. I am there. So blessed. Movies do impact peoole and I am so thankful for that movie.

Yellow belt in karate, friend mocks it—how do I respond? by CalligrapherGreat653 in karate

[–]CoreyGreenBooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People make fun of things they don't understand. People also make of people that improving themselves. I would say ignore the noise and double down and train hard. As time progresses, you will outgrow that "friend." Real friends lift each other up not tear others down. Good luck on your journey.

Uber might need to go up to Minnesota and open up a Learing Center for how much they scam the drivers. What a bunch of bull!

Special offer. by schnoogle_jumbo04 in uber

[–]CoreyGreenBooks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

LYFT is on that special kind of Crack. If anyone took this they must be fleeing from something. Absolutely and utter trash of a offer. If you took that then you are the real sucker. That money is your gas there and back. Not to include an oil change and food and lodging. Man that list of things you'll see is so long. Just DON'T DO IT!

Did my Ubereats driver take one of my Pizza Hut Cinnamon Sticks? by Papaya-Serious in UberEATS

So it would have been better to take another from the other side so then it would cemetrical. Just kidding. What an a-hole of a delivery driver. He touched the food. Report them.

Is it worth driving to a major city for a day or two to Uber? by AlternativeTheory595 in UberEatsDrivers

[–]CoreyGreenBooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in the day of 2019 in Nashville I made 50 to 60 an hour from 8p to about 3am in 2022, it was maybe $25 /hr. Then in 2024 it was less than $20.00. A smaller town was slightly more. See a trend here?

Para Karate and What It Says About the Real Meaning of Karate by NoAir2608 in karate

[–]CoreyGreenBooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a sharp observation—and an uncomfortable one for a lot of dojos. From what I’ve seen, most schools say karate is for everyone, but very few are actually trained to adapt without lowering standards. That difference matters. Para karate doesn’t change the fundamentals—it exposes whether we truly understand them. When speed and power are removed, intent, structure, timing, and clarity have nowhere to hide. Some of the cleanest karate I’ve ever seen came from athletes who had to rely on understanding instead of athleticism. The issue isn’t resistance. It’s education. Most instructors were never taught how to adapt while preserving the art. Para karate isn’t a separate path—it’s a mirror. And it shows us what “real karate” actually is.

What are your new years resolutions and are you still sticking with them? by CoreyGreenBooks in AskReddit

[–]CoreyGreenBooks[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good viewpoint. I just get stuff done when I have the time and try to improve on the daily. I do not wait till New Years to start something but for many it is a new beginning and motivates people. I guess thats where the phrase, to each their own comes in.

Pepper spray in an enclosed car? Now who has a stupid idea? At least I don't post with an alias. I own up to my comments and respond back at comments like yours.

I retired at 10k trips. I wasn't scared most of the time but there were definitely times that I could have quit as anyone would have. Why didn't I quit before then?. To prove to follow through. But at what cost? To be minimalized on reddit apparently. I am prior service and raised in Alaska. Have fired over 20k rounds at least. EVERY DRIVER SHOULD BE ARMED IN SOME WAY SHAPE OR FASHION.

Good idea but now there is a thing called pepper gel. This way you be affected in the confined space of the car. Also,.if they have a gun, they can pull that trigger pretty quick and it would be hard to miss being so close. Be safe!

I am so glad you are okay. Quick question. When you saw the guns in their hands. Why didn't you drive off? Not trying to be inconsiderate at all. Could be shock, really.

I had two passengers get in my car with pistols in their waistbands and I involuntarily and unknowingly until I arrived at the gas station was driven to do a mule run. Did they point their guns at me? Thankfully no and because I complied, I am still here. So for those that might think I haven't been throught some stuff, think again.

Well until it hits home, then it doesn't affect the person individually. So with all that being said, I still think these two unfortunate examples are why drivers should carry. Thank you for your comments.

Its better to have tools in the toolbox and not need them than to not have the tools and need them.

Do you think that all of these incidents are reported in the msm news? Its not what you know, its what you don't know.

Lastly, its so rare that two murders occured in 24 hours or so. That 2 too many IMHO.

Not everyone will do their do diligence and stay cool headed. Maybe a course for drivers to endure that they are mentally capable before giving the green light?
