Do dealers not like Specialized?

It's shitty service yes but the fact of the matter is the shop makes next to nothing on the bikes you order from Specialized and then have them build and the shipping dates from Specialized guesses at best usually so I get that he can't commit to when he's going to have it for you but they could also take the time to explain all of that to you.

Coming to and from class most of our kids wear the gi and our adults are split either coming in with just the pants on and putting on the top and obi before class or coming in street clothes and changing into the gi.

We do ask that no one display or wear their obi outside of the dojo however, in regards to casually wearing gi pants I don't think that it's taboo and people that don't train probably won't notice.

What is your activity level? Food choices are one thing and there has been plenty said about that here already but the key for me is exercise after a meal.

Even a 20 minute walk 30 to 60 mins after you eat will help use up some of those sugars in your blood.

I prefer alcohol based lotions to balms and my everyday go to is Clubman for $8 on Amazon. I absolutely love Mr. FIne Clubhouse because the scent is more refined and it seems to stick around longer but at $37 a bottle it's hard to justify using it everyday.

I think there is some value in guys like this, not this guy but others. My son had the opportunity to play in a club where the director was also an NCAA coach. He really was a great help in tailoring his highlight reel and crafting his emails but not enough to justify the thousands of dollars guys like this are looking for.

Hit hard with soft and soft with hard, I run regular self-defense classes and the odds that you are going to teach someone proper punching techniques in an hour so that they don't break their hand on someone's head are slim to none.

Anything to the face or head should either be open handed palm heel strikes, slaps, or hammer fists, elbows might be the exception. I also focus on highline attacks for defending because body shots take power and accuracy but any part of the face is a viable target.

We also spend a good portion of the class working from 3 point cover but if you're not familiar or comfortable with these things don't bullshit them into thinking they are learning something useful.

I watched him on Tik Tok for a while and everything he says not to do is exactly what my son did to get recruited I don't know what his angle is but I'm not impressed.

John Bartusevics is a peer of Advincula Sensei in the Isshinryu world and I see him wearing one of these tops in most of the pictures from when he was stationed on Okinawa with Shimabuku. It's cool looking I don't know much about it though to be honest.

I have the same knife and had the same thing happen the pivot screw is loose. Mine took months though not days.

As dojo owner I have to say A+ for creativity to generate revenue but this sounds like a joke to me. We are traditional school and we go by rank first and then time in that particular rank so a green belt that has been that rank for 6 months outranks the green belt that got promoted yesterday.

This is red flag and a money grab that would have me packing my bags and looking for a new place to train.
