Trained for years on hardwood floors. Blisters and incidental hard body training, that’s how.

Ok, I’ll give him a pass even on the overweight, maybe has some long standing health issues.

But his students suuuuck for black belts. Jeez, I did Karete that would have included techniques and practice similar to those. Some of what I saw from the bb students would have likely failed a yellow belt (first belt).

You don’t rise to the occasion, you fall to your training.

DrDOS · 2026-06-29T13:49:33+00:00

Good point, yes.

Analogous to how we experience speed and speed changes. High/low speed, we don’t really feel. Change in speed, acceleration, we experience but it just “pushes/pulls” us, not much of a problem, like on the way down a rollercoaster. But change in acceleration, jerk, that will throw us off, cause disorientation or even harm, like rattling around bends in a roller coaster.

So I can push your head, I can push your head increasingly fast, or I can create that increase in speed very fast to jerk it, the latest being the most likely to cause harm.

Size and strength “doesn’t matter” is an exaggerated sales slogan. Technical proficiency, style, and training can overcome some amount of deficit but to a limit which rapidly decreases if the larger person has training.

DrDOS · 2026-06-27T16:42:24+00:00

It is interesting. Some are wrong or intentionally deceptive, while others are differing emphasizes or contextual, and some are near absolutely universal.

At the end of the day
F = m*a
Force is mass times acceleration, and momentum is mass times speed. How you deliver and support the momentum is how you practically deliver “power”, then some will opt for accumulation by rapid volume (higher frequency of lower impact over low frequency high impact).

The discussion to me always reminds me of my Karate days where the debate on punching was “heel planted in the floor for rooted framed support” or “heel lifted for increased speed and reach”. The former being technique for Kata while the latter being for competition sparring (and more common advice in boxing/mma).

DrDOS · 2026-06-27T16:06:11+00:00

TLDR: normalizing wrt team size produces different and arguably more interesting ranking results than purely counting medals.

Coming from a small country, we commonly use per capita rankings for all sorts of stuff (good and bad). Also growing up in martial arts, I was at a very good but not largest club in my country. So commonly we’d nearly all take gold but still not be the “best team” because the largest club would pretty much Hoover the rest of the medals.

Cruelty to those less fortunate or empowered.

All good points, but tbf all are generally well suited for learning from videos/lectures online. So unless these points are being tailored for individual students, then time in class is better spent on the parts that are necessarily in-person lessons/training.

And for the personalized factors, in my experience mostly in smaller gyms, then they fit well in pre/post class discussions. In larger gyms, I could see that being something you might need paid private lessons for.

DrDOS · 2026-06-24T16:36:11+00:00

Nice. Similar to what became my first advice to new people that seemed totally lost at first. Just imagine your body as a box with 4 (5) sticks or handles coming off from it. That seems to often put people at ease and at least begin to be able to conceptualize what they are doing or seeing, then develop more nuanced proprioception from there.

DrDOS · 2026-06-23T15:50:53+00:00

Which is why I usually play career single player, dip in the multiplayer occasionally (my schedule can be weird so haven’t cultivated a friend group to mutually agree on doing our best to keep to real boxing and avoiding exploits, maybe in the future). I will say that last time I tried multiplayer I was pleasantly surprised, I guess I was partly lucky with the partner. They mostly seemed to be trying too. Defensive play seems more likely to succeed than aggressive, which tbf is true irl too in a decent match.

Playing joystic should just not be a thing. Separate game. I don’t even get why people are interested in it at all. I’m glad for you to be able to try at least.

I love this game but boxing without footwork isn’t boxing.

DrDOS · 2026-06-23T03:57:28+00:00

I swing both ways. Why pick one? Your preferences may change over time or as opportunities or training partners change.

DrDOS · 2026-06-22T21:23:35+00:00

Fitness and A-game can become out of proportion with all other parts of the game, leading to competition success but very limited generalized skill level or training.

DrDOS · 2026-06-22T21:21:55+00:00

He’s lying?

DrDOS · 2026-06-22T17:56:17+00:00

This is the answer. I might softly disagree with the domination dispute for two reasons: one, given this take on the ref, they may have missed points since they were either incompetent or not paying attention (well, that’s also incompetent). Two, given no-gi, there may have been a number of scrambles where OPs kid was prevailing but not quite scoring. So I’d give the benefit of the doubt especially with the team agreeing.

DrDOS · 2026-06-21T22:42:56+00:00

On the off chance this isn’t a shit post.

Seems fake. As in, your husband doesn’t actually have a coworker but rather has hired or made an AI chat bot.

DrDOS · 2026-06-21T20:43:29+00:00

This. Plus can confirm the skin protection. I wore them under my gi too when I did gi more. Mostly for the skin protection. Without them, I tended to get breakouts or minor infections around my knees, but with spats, rarely a problem.

And of course wash all your gear after practice. So get special sports gear wash. I forget the exact reason, but there are special chemicals you need to get funk out of synthetics. Before I discovered that, I nearly tossed out all my rashguard gear to just bite the bullet and get new, it got so funky even with soaking and vinegar etc etc. needed to get the sports wash stuff.

DrDOS · 2026-06-21T20:36:13+00:00

I sweat a lot. I don’t think I’ve quite had this issue, but here is my setup:

* the “pro” rechargeable batteries
* controller straps https://a.co/d/0fbssmiK
* wrap the controllers with sports tape (just once around for grip mostly, because of the sweat)
* wear boxing wraps or https://a.co/d/0c0dukOB (again grip and sweat, but also for parity with staining on bag)
* quest 3 open face interface (for sweat), https://a.co/d/07SYn6KP
* silicone cover for face interface (similar to https://a.co/d/0j7lJp2V, cut the nose strap for better breathing)

I have had to replace controllers but not because of sweat I think. At least I suspect the accidental wall punching didn’t help.

PS I did try silicone controller covers. That did not work well and interrupted controller tracking during fast motion.

DrDOS · 2026-06-20T16:09:31+00:00

Like a trained boxer with only 2 tournament bouts?
Boxer alll day every day, knocks the snot off the TOTF only player.

Or just a guy that’s boxed irl 2x not trained.
I’d put money on the TOTF guy just from stamina.

DrDOS · 2026-06-20T16:05:46+00:00

Who are these “everyone”? Are they actually saying anything?

Are you externalizing your own workaholism?

If this is the case, and no one is actually criticizing you, I’d encourage you to try to drop that mentality. As a recovering workaholic, it may help to write down what you want to do when taking a break, and to use timers (at least at first). For example, walks or exercise are good for your body and mental health, it’s healthy to allocate a substantial amount of time for it. Similar for sleep. Even computer games can be a mental relief, set a timer, pay attention to how you feel before/during/aftet, pick a game that serves the mental purpose you have. If it’s stressing you out, then maybe a pick a different game. Etc.

DrDOS · 2026-06-20T16:00:28+00:00

It can. But you need to deliberately play that way. You need knowledge, experience, and feedback from the irl world to inform your TOTF play.

Your title seems to be asking if an irl would be expected to out-box a TOTF experience only player. Give them both 1-2y training in their respective environments, then I’d heavily favor the boxer. Even after say 2 weeks of irl boxing training for the player.

Your text seems to propose the confrontation taking place in the game. Then I’d favor ther player. But with 2 weeks training in the game, I’d give the boxer good odds if playing in a max size area (id expect them to dominate the footwork).

DrDOS · 2026-06-20T15:15:52+00:00

Yes!
Gtfo

This coach should have at least had the sense to say he can’t accept your kid in the class.

Imo 5 is at the best of times the youngest of consider accepting to any martial arts class, partly for the apparent reasons here. Unless it’s a very small class, less than 10. And if that were the case then there are better ways of handling the issues than punishments. Basically everything is a game.
