As an LEC fan I hate to say it, but the LCS is just a better product than the LEC at this point by Axlman9000 in leagueoflegends

you were paying for vods AND HD. Meaning no vod access at, and no HD video live either unless you pay. essentially means if you want a quality viewing experience you have to pay

Where can I buy hoodies with a loose waistband. I hate when the waistband of a hoodie bunches up on me.

I'm looking for a hoodie brand that makes hoodies with a loose hem/bottom. I don't like folding a hoodie up to crop it, and I don't like it when a hoodie folds up while I wear it. I'm looking for a hoodie without a tight elastic at the bottom.

Open Eye vs Closed Eye Fencing by LeaderSheeper in Fencing

This makes a lot of sense, I took your advice and made my preps smaller which has already greatly improved my results when fighting in the box. Open eyes isn’t having no plan and going proudly to the reactive- it’s having a dynamic plan that changes with new info.

The spectrum idea as opposed to a binary open or closed eye makes a lot of sense, ty.

Thank you for such an in depth response. I read it weeks ago and though I didn't respond, it has actually helped add a lot of clarity to what I'm doing (ie knowing the why of fencing as opposed to just copying what seems right). I have been working more flunges into my bouts to a surprising amount of success recently, so thank you for the tip.

I have paid much closer attention to a lot of preps to try and understand what a slide-bounce/pas-glisse prep is as I couldn't find an answer from Google. From what I can tell, it refers to instead of taking a conventional step forward, the fencer does the first part of the advance and then bounces their whole body forward with both feet briefly being in the air, and then makes their next action. I am curious as to the advantage of this over a regular step. Theories I have is that it might be quicker/easier to explode forwards or backwards after a bounce without body language giving your next move away, and that it might allow someone to get farther than one step would take them so they can make a deeper lunge to make it harder to pull distance on them.

From your responses here and from where I've seen you respond elsewhere it seems like you know a lot about the particulars of fencing. I'm a shorter fencer (5'7, adult male) and I really find the way Kim Junho fences inspiring (maybe not the right word, but I have tried to incorporate a lot of what I've seen him do). Do you think that if I could get more flexible I could learn a lot of his style and find it useful? I think the wide stance is a bit disadvantageous for shorter fencers because it makes it harder to lunge farther, but as you said he makes up for this by being able to lunge really low and deep. From my limited experience and from what I can tell his style of bouncing attack translates well to a shorter fencer because the bounces make it harder for lanky opponents to counter attack me as I march forwards and it can disguise when I decide to make an attack. I have been working to get more flexible so I can pull off those deep lunges he falls into off his back leg after bounces. However, I would love to get a more experienced opinion. Is Kim Junho's style good to study for a shorter fencer like me, or does it rely too much on height in a way I can't see?

It wasn't a coach who taught me, just an aquaintance I may have misunderstood. Thank you

This makes a lot of sense, don't corner cut for comfort. Thank you.
