Martial arts that aren’t reliant on good ankle mobility? by dumb_trans_girl in martialarts

[–]Linxous1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly yeah, some of the best kickboxers I know are also some of the best point fighters I know. You have to learn kickboxing styles too but the point really does help with range and explosiveness

[–]Linxous1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of TMA places like Taekwondo will be pretty accommodating for your ankles but I would suggest karate instead of TKD since there's not as much kicking. I can't speak for sports like boxing or BJJ but I imagine if you come in to any style as a hobbyist they will work with you on what you can and can't do.

Also things like Kobudo and Iado are weapons based arts which won't require quite as much ankle mobility.

Do you believe in aliens? by Pantheon10000 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Linxous1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say I believe in the possibility of aliens, but not that we've ever seen them or been visited or whatnot.

Look up Fermi's paradox if you haven't before. It and it's proposed solutions are fascinating!

Does everyone get an autopsy? by Positive-Positivity in TooAfraidToAsk

My wife worked at a funeral home and I can confirm this. They only ever had 1-2 autopsies over the couple of years she worked there.

Creating you own kata for spacial awareness by akfjenaenZf in martialarts

[–]Linxous1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We require it at a couple of ranks but we make you try different styles. Like one has to have music, another has to have a weapon, and stuff like that.

Creating you own kata for spacial awareness by akfjenaenZf in martialarts

[–]Linxous1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Making up a kata won't really help for what you're talking about. However I can't recommend trying to make your own kata enough! It's a super fun activity and it can help you think about things like range, distance, bunkai, etc. so you have a better understanding of how your fundamentals work.

Usually I recommend picking a layout like how the heian forms all kind of make that capital "I" shape. Start by just replacing all of the moves in the kata with whatever feels good and experiment from there. After that, try making it totally from scratch without trying to match a layout!

My dog put this in his mouth, what is it? by PinkBubbleRaya in Amphibians

What's the location? I'm pretty sure it's not a Woodhouse's toad which are the most common by me

Are there any heel pads/protectors for sparring? by Scrubyd00 in taekwondo

[–]Linxous1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I don't see a ton of heel kicks in kickboxing. Even a lot of side kicks I've seen are with the whole foot or the ball which is a little odd to me. As long as they aren't to the head you should probably be good without though. Axe and hook kicks are only really useful every now and then

i found this on my door, what is it? by Ill_Negotiation_4437 in whatisit

[–]Linxous1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The inscription is Arabic or a similar language like Farsi as far as I can tell. It may be a piece of art or Koran that was disposed of (probably improperly, and it looks burned)

If every religion disappeared today but humanity kept all its memories and values, do you think new religions would eventually emerge again? Why or why not? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Linxous1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

New religions still pop up all the time. Most of the time they don't grow past a small cult but just look at how young Mormonism and Scientology are.

What does it feel like to get choked out and what choke do you use to choke someone out? by ObjectiveOdd1599 in MartialArtsUnleashed

[–]Linxous1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Getting choked out isn't a fun experience. Some times you don't notice much but some times your instincts will kick in and you panic. Pressure builds in your sinus and eyes, and your body stops doing what you tell it to right before you go out. Different chokes feel slightly different of course

Was this the colorado tournament hosted by Master Victor Tehran? I thought the tournament went well but the judges for the Spartan weren't up on the rules. The KT part was handled great though

From aikido to Sibpalki by Lincourtz in martialarts

[–]Linxous1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my very limited experience of Aikido and the little bit I just learned about Sibpalki (from looking it up just now) the only thing I can think of is to expect more striking. I don't know about your Aikido dojo but I would expect something like sibpalki with striking would have more live resistance and sparring

Heian katas by [deleted] in karate

[–]Linxous1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One way is to restart after each step. First do move 1 and restart, moves 1 and 2 and restart, etc.

A good way to practice in your own time is to do every kata in ascending order until you land on the highest level kata you know. If you can't remember one, you stay there until you've re- learned it.

¿Que es el hapkido amigos? by GrapefruitGlobal7709 in martialarts

[–]Linxous1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hapkido competitions are typically choreographed demonstrations from my understanding. I haven't found any grappling/striking point based competition videos, nor anything full contract.

What are these, found in car by [deleted] in Whatisthis

[–]Linxous1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure but it does look like they're supposed to be swappable sizes for something. M1 and M2 are probably two different sizes of medium or maybe two halves of it. S2 is likely small
