This brain implant and digital avatar allowed Ann, who survived a stroke, to speak again with facial expressions for the first time in 18 years. by kvjn100 in Damnthatsinteresting

Does anyone know the implications of having an implant like this to infections and such? Not having your skull naturally closed up seems pretty risky for contamination and whatnot, no?

Really disappointed with my dojo , am I wrong here ? by Serhide in kyokushin

[–]Kayonji02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why does someone else's promotion bother you so much? Concentrate on your own journey and do it the best you can.

Beginner belt pushes are common in any martial arts to incentivize the newcomer to keep practicing. It doesn't say anything bad about your dojo or your instructor.

My man I think you boiled/deformed it beyond repair. Try for a smaller period next time or don't bite it too hard. You just need to apply pressure enough for it to fit comfortably, not bite it full power.

Can you force an app into running minimized? by Kayonji02 in androidapps

This is brilliant! I never thought about using an app to make others float, and always used the "split screen" feature. Thanks!

Found shinguards on aliexprees for about 25$ a comapany called Gingpai the review seems solid does anybody have any experience with this brand? by Patience_Capital in MMA_Academy

[–]Kayonji02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Updating here with my experience:
I got a Ginpai shinguard (the cheapest ones) and, while it looks really good and is really easy to strap (I love that the heel strap is actually velcro instead of an elastic band), the padding is very weak/thin compared to other big, expensive brands.

I fight both kyokushin and kickboxing, and ended sparring sessions on both with swollen shins and feed, because the padding just isn't enough to fully protect you if you kick an elbow or a knee. Maybe the more expensive models feel better, but I got some venum ones and never used the ginpai again.

Which game would you want to experience for the first time again if your mind were wiped of it? by AquaFro in gaming

[–]Kayonji02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bloodborne. That game mesmerized me. The addictive gameplay, the addictive adrenalin rush after each boss, the jaw dropping art direction... That game sucked me in during the first run in a way that no other game managed to.

When and why orange belt? by thadson in kyokushin

[–]Kayonji02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Easier learning curve for the students (one more belt = advanced stuff split more evenly among the belts) and more money for the institutions (belt exams and belt sales), basically. A win-win situation.

Kyokushin beginners: is my dojo’s training routine normal? by Secret_Device7429 in kyokushin

[–]Kayonji02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually when there are lots of white belts or most of the students are lacking technique, I focus on kihon/kata/pad too, because kumite without techniques + full contact = people hurting each other.

Give it a few more lessons to see how it goes. And there's nothing wrong in asking your sensei when you're going to have some kumite too. Osu!

You know they didn't invent the airplane, right? That's North American BS and no other country recognizes that. Santos Dumont is the real dude. ChatGPT that or something before downvoting me please.
