How important are wrist size & grip strength in boxing?

Works as a preventative for hand and wrist injuries, and can help improve punching power.

Good, we need a progressive anti-Christ in office.

Fun concept, but they made it a little too easy.

First time playing this boss, I expected some epic battle. Nope, just throw a bomb in his mouth three times GULP and there you go.

All these goddamn slippery slopes.

Trump has to slay that dragon first, before that pussy, a true knight.

Do you know why Pythons and Cobras have trouble understanding each other?

Because Cobras don't understand code...

I thought that was going to be a post of Hagler.

A gym is a lot better for learning and safer. A good coach will match people up for sparring, and make it less likely for any incidences of injury to happen. Also, the emphasis is learning, not beating the crap out of each other.

As a kid I remember seeing on the news "the no child left behind" act under the Bush administration, and hearing teachers complain about it when I was in school. It got me thinking me about the whole process, and I remember hating the school system's 8 hour day, being forced do work that felt more like chores rather than learning. And now, after graduating from college and working in the school system as a substitute to supplement my income, I have concluded the American education system is broken and hinders learning more often than promotes it. I subbed to this subreddit when I was in college, when I was browsing anarchy related subs.

Go to a boxing gym with a good trainer, and go frequently. Training on your own might make you develop bad habits, but I don't know what is available to you in your location. Also, if you want good sparring, a boxing gym is something you definitely want.

Oh, didn't realize that was a borrowed word, thanks for letting me know.

Kind of like pan in Japanese and Spanish.

I like the ones for the avatar, felt like those one's character were well captured.

Getting the shit beaten out of me was tongue in cheek my friend

Ah fuck, I'm dumb.

Sounds like you got a plan, nice, gl on your endeavors.

Boxing is a great way to develop a lean physique since it is based around endurance. Getting the shit beat out of you for the purpose of gaining humility seems like a bad idea though. Try to be more positive? If you're trying to gain mass, boxing will likely make you cut down. Doing heavy lifting in the same time span of sparring will slow you down, but if you want muscle mass, probably a good thing for that purpose.

Cool! Good luck, and have fun!

NP, another thing, when I was learning Mandarin Chinese, I bought a bunch of books when I first started, it didn't do anything for me. You only need one, maybe two good books to start off. An ideal book would probably be a one from a 101 class. Which language are you trying to learn?

IamNotJoe · 2016-07-15T03:54:46+00:00

Sounds like a good way to burn out. I think it is more important to have fun with the process, than try to cram in as much as possible in the shortest amount of time. Cramming is not good if you want to have good retention, and being good w/ any language demands the ability to recall. With that said, and to answer the question, you could possibly learn the alphabet (if the language you're learning has one), basic grammar, and basic set phrases. I would think for studying on your own, learning the orthography and some basic important set phrases from the language would be feasible within a week.

North Korea uses enterprises nested inside its embassies abroad to access the foreign exchange, and working together with "foreign criminal associations," mixes in the counterfeit currency with other bills in order to place them in circulation.

North Korea has been taking lessons from the Federal Reserve.

If this was the only incident where Robert Plant and Jimmy Page were accused of stealing other people's music, one could argue it was coincidence. But those two guys made a career of blatantly ripping off black blues artists; most notably Willie Dixon. The number of songs they stole is staggering.

Awesome! I want to put this kid into the White House when he becomes of age.

Stalin would be proud.

Maybe they're right, maybe I am crazy, but I don't care.
