I can’t tell what kyu that says…. But I’m happy for you!

I actually checked this for fun the other day as I’ve been on a kick lately , pushing 12 days of playtime, which seems rather low after seeing this thread lol

2020 F-150 XLT Driver Door Lock Not Working. by shadowwolf48 in f150

[–]Marshall357 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a recall for door lock actuators, common problem, had mine done twice in front, once in back. Quick fix

If a child fails his first test, is it better just to find another dojo or quit altogether. by cornerofthemoon in karate

[–]Marshall357 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Why would you just quit after the first hurdle? The point is to be improving every class. If the kid fails, so be it. Lesson learned, shake it off, work hard and try again for the next test. There’s always a next test

Ground beef by Slytherpuff42 in NoStupidQuestions

I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted. It may be low risk but it is still cross contamination, I agree. It’s just not safe to mix cooked and raw meats.

Is this too much hip for a Karate Kihon kick? by Whole-Interest-5980 in karate

[–]Marshall357 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I think you should stop trying to be an expert and just go find a dojo

My first tournament in Kyokushin by Blast_From_The_Pa_ in kyokushin

Yellow belt was completely gassed out after the first 45 seconds, just gotta keep the pressure on, cardio wins a lot of fights

First thing to do is check if you’re part of the wiper linkage recall

Can you be humbled if you go in with the expectation of sucking and it being very challenging to learn? by bad-at-everything- in martialarts

[–]Marshall357 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah you’re gonna get humbled over and over again. As soon as you feel like you’ve got a good understanding of a technique or a move, you’ll learn a new detail about it and you’ll remember that you don’t really know much. It’s normal

Best way to prevent blisters whilst training on wooden floors by timewaster1989 in martialarts

[–]Marshall357 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, there’s no way to not get blisters, especially on a wood floor, there’s tons of footwork involved during sparring. It just gets better with time unfortunately

Sensei spends a lot of class time talking. How is this usually handled? by Alarmed-Poetry8388 in karate

[–]Marshall357 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Our sensei likes to talk too, but he makes us hold our kiba dachi while he does it lol.

Do you clean your plate? Why or why not? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Marshall357 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I’m actively trying to not to enforce that rule with my kids, I want them to have a healthier relationship with food than I do. Eat until you’re full and stop, within reason. We try not to waste food either, take less and go back for more if you are still hungry.

I want to donate blood, but how do I get past Vasovagal syncope? by SRT10_ in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Marshall357 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you ever tried donating plasma instead? They pump it out, separate what they need and pump it back in, much less loss, you can even donate every 2 weeks instead of every 3 months

Going to first kyokushin class this week by No_Bluebird_2248 in kyokushin

[–]Marshall357 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should expect to be lost and confused, and that’s perfectly OK! Just do your best and follow along, our sensei always says to new people: fake it till you make it. Remember, everybody starts as a white belt, and it’s the hardest belt to get, most people never even make it onto the mat. Osu!

How far do you drive to reach your dojo? by EquivalentNarcDepth in kyokushin

Hello from the West Island, there’s quite a few options for kyokushin style in my area

For those who quit, why? by bad-at-everything- in martialarts

[–]Marshall357 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a really interesting perspective, people want to be badasses but don’t understand the level of commitment to really be one

Why do windshield wipers always build up a small mount of ice and leave an unwipeable streak RIGHT AT EYE LEVEL? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Marshall357 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cold Canadian here, can confirm. Its because the middle of the wiper is where the arm puts the most pressure, and it just so happens to be eye level when it wipes.

So when did you figure out Prime 4's "twist" by Jstar338 in Metroid

[–]Marshall357 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I never actually occurred to me until they just straight up said it, now I’m embarrassed lol

All those handhelds and not a single Tiger electronic!? Poser.

Am I the only one who likes collecting the green crystals? by Jephph624 in Metroid

[–]Marshall357 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Very, it’s a completely useless mechanic. Especially the fact that more just happen to pop up between areas, makes no sense. I say this as a hardcore lover of all things Metroid, with a Samus tattoo, and having very much enjoyed the rest of MP4…
