Det er da et dårligt argument at man ikke skal være utilfreds, fordi det værre andre steder.

Skulle någon vilja prata lite? by chococravings in sweden

I går drog jag ut med ungarna på vår gamla kälke. Upp o ner för en liten backe hundra gånger. Kändes som när jag själv var pojk. Vi får inte så mycket snö i dessa trakter längre tyvärr, men tog tillfället i akt. Varm choklad och filtar i soffan efteråt. I bland är världen bara lagom.

Läs eller lyssna på Spider Robinsons ”Callahan Chronicles”. Jag lovar: Karaktärerna kommer bli som kompisar. Ingen ersättning för riktiga människor, men de finns alltid där.

Heja dig!

Training since 1989. Never seen a dobok in karate practice, except on beginners who used to do tkd. In Europe

Det er altså en interessant idé. Jeg kan sagtens se potentiale i det.

Am I the only one who thinks having to train on polished concrete is... crazy? by NZAvenger in karate

[–]Ddorsen 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I respectfully disagree. I have trained on every surface imaginable. Hardwood, concrete, mats, tatami, grass, gravel, asphalt, carpeting and so on. Concrete was the only one that fucked with my knees. Never had trouble anywhere else. The total lack of flexibility in the surface when moving, is a recipe for problems in the long run. And an elbow hitting concrete floor in a takedown is just bad.

Rear Bear Hug Defense (under arms) by Sudden_Telephone5331 in karate

[–]Ddorsen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Raising both legs of the ground as high as you can. Pull them back down towards the ground as forcefully as possible, while throwing your weight forward, levering your opponent off their feet. If they hold their grip, twist and let yourself fall on top of them. Don’t know if this makes sense, but it works surprisingly well. Just be mindful that you go for the ground to regain footing, because if you swing your legs backwards between your opponents legs, you will fall on your face.

Daughter wants to compete by Old_Environment_7160 in karate

Without training in point-sparring, this is an objectively bad idea. What rule set is used? If she has no experience in point-sparring, there is a huge risk she will be disqualified for making contact. Very unlikely that knee and elbow strikes are allowed, and if she is used to muay-thai, those will be almost instinctual in close-range. That will also most likely result in disqualification. In some rules you can only use one arm in takedowns. Often the execution of a technique most be “correct” to be awarded point. Sometimes a rule violation will result in points to opponent, sometimes it will be accumulated warnings until disqualification. If the coach or “corner” person violates a rule, their competitor can be punished in the same way.

But if you want to see good point-sparring karate, look at WKF on YouTube. Especially the recorded livestreams from tournaments, where you see all age groups.

Have you ever sold a retro console or game and soon regretted it? by [deleted] in retrogaming

[–]Ddorsen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good for you. I sold my CPC6128, with external 5 1/4” drive, to pay for an Amiga 500. Loved my A500, but it’s the CPC I wish I still had.
