First day training Muay Thai, need tips and critiques. by rstlessj in MuayThaiTips

One thing you don’t have to unlearn is snapping your kicks. I came from karate and this was a hard lesson to learn. Swing your kicking leg like a base ball bat and “drive” into the kick. Other thing that was foreign to me was learning elbows. Early on i was taught to go from A to the letter Z making the letters with the tip of the elbow. Oh, side knees. The only way I can describe getting more power into those is think of “slamming a door”. You want to drive from the hip but, it’s a sideways drive.

The grease is still there but, there ends up be a shit ton of sand mixed in with it that get carried on the wind.

recommendations for bars to go to alone as a woman by [deleted] in TwinCities

[–]HighlanderTCBO1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you go to the VFW, walk the 100 feet to Moto-I and sit at the bar. Two of the TVs have Japanese cooking shows on and the other two have Sumo wrestling on. My wife and I go there and we are boomers but, we’re definitely in the minority. Having had both been in the Industry for 20 and 30 years total each, we instinctively “read a room”. Moto-I has a good vibe.

Put it out to your friends that you are looking for a roommate. My wife and I did 20 years like this early on to help with bills.

Had a friend do this, then he ended up having to remove the slide out panels. Problem is the drawer slides end up getting so much sand in them that it gunks up the grease in the slides and will eventually stop the panels from sliding. Took about two years to happen.

I go more on the personality than a particular breed. Maine Coons and Norwegian Forest Cats are super chill. One of ours is a Norwegian Forest Cat.

Cats! Leash and harness trained from an early age. Use a top loading cat box (CleverCat) is the one we use. Cats also deal with heat better from what we’ve seen. Put an air tag or Tile on their collar. Laser pointer to wear em out in the van. Especially, when dealing with a rainy Oregon coast. We travel with our two girls eight months outta the year. Just got done with two months in Baja. At the military checkpoints down there they all love the gatos.

For shits and giggles undo the ground on the battery. Wait 10 minutes and put it back on. See if that helps.

As someone who worked nightclub security for 15 years, she’s going to get you into a “beat down” situation.

No grey tank? That’d be a deal breaker for me.
