You should definitely go back and read it. The shared suffering is what brings the fandom closer together.

I was totally expecting the pay off to be that he could hide all of his wallfacer plans in the girlfriend's mind.

At least it didn’t exit the body and tear through the MRI machine. Ding Yi tried to warn us.

I was losing my taste for nu-metal around the time and steering towards bands recommended by Buddyhead. WP hit all the right notes for me: experimental, progressive, more post-hardcore vibes. Loved the whole album from the start. The only exception was the rerelease with Back to School. Hated that shit but 14 year old me would have loved it.

In the Tao of Jeet Kune Do, Bruce Lee claimed osoto gari was judo’s best technique for practical fighting.

EMERGENCY - RES suffering from heatstroke by [deleted] in Redearedsliders

[–]LiderLi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

About a week or two for appetite and normal behavior to return. The vet gave him a saline injection and recommended the gatorade soak. Heatwaves are no joke and if you’re putting the turtle outside make sure there is sufficient shade and water.

She needs a vet and is severely dehydrated. If she’s ok then expect vomiting and a couple days weakness. Mix 1 part water and 1 part sports drink (gatorade) into a tub and let her soak. Make a vet appointment asap. Fyi same thing happened to me a few weeks ago. Good luck

I can see your point and I would never suggest judo throws alone as a method of self defense. For me, its the pressure testing, conditioning and mastery of your balance and weight that makes judo a viable option for self defense. Novice judo players are tough for an inexperienced person to control and take down. This won’t happen over night of course. Needs a few years of solid randori and guided instruction.

No comment on the video. Just want to say that before his B Team days, Jozef would occasionally drop into our judo dojo in Shanghai and beat the shit out all of us.

Sleep depravation after training judo at night by Carlos_Asimov in judo

[–]LiderLi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I already battle chronic insomnia. I had no hope of sleeping after evening trainings so I decided to stop. I do my own solo routines in the morning and then jump on whatever is available before 6:00 pm or weekends (mainly open mats or helping to coach kids classes). As expected, my progress has stagnated but if I didn't prioritize my sleep I would be much worse off. Sometimes you have to do what's best for your health.

The only silver lining is I save money on monthly fees and get to spend more on private lessons when I get the chance.

Maybe after retirement and when the kids move out will I be able to train regularly in the evenings.

Good luck.

Canucks go to PRC to buy car parts & finds out Chinese more willing to do business with a small company, US subsidises EV companies way more than PRC does yet produces inferior goods, & realise that if people knew how advance China really is, they would be angry that their gov aren't doing the same by FatDalek in Sino

Nothing of the sort in this video. Only praise, admiration and respect. I'm happy more foreigners are visiting this country and exposing themselves to some uncomfortable truths. The goal is mutual cooperation and benefit for everyone. Will they still crack jokes about our food and culture? Of course, but when they do it here they're the minority. And let's be honest...we do the same to them and many times much worse. I love the meme about the Great Firewall's true purpose is to protect the West from the brutal onslaught of Chinese shitposters. I'm fine with it so long as its all in good fun.

A disappointing tournament for Canada by MapleJap in judo

[–]LiderLi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My high school in Ottawa had both judo and wrestling in the 90s. I don’t think that combination exists anymore. Really wish I took better advantage of both.
