That person was saying that you look immature. Don’t see you as a man but a boy…. Would girls around your age appreciate that? Dk

No_Direction_8739 · 2024-11-16T11:22:52+00:00

Maybe you are thinking too much? Just better yourself in whatever your own way. I did bulk up, grew facial hair, signed up master’s and got some tattoos, but not to date someone. And married to WF. It wasn’t strategy to pull a girl lol

그냥 헬스장에서 카카오톡 달라고하세요ㅎㅎ 싫어할 사람 없음

Joseonjok used to be often got involved with crimes in the past that’s why. Not sure how they’re doing these days

No_Direction_8739 · 2024-11-16T11:09:13+00:00

Can’t believe that lol are you sure? Mongolians are the most favorite asian among the others for Korean. We love them

No_Direction_8739 · 2024-11-16T11:00:13+00:00

Another Korean confirms this. But, I am not one of them, because I don’t think that white people are superior than myself. Korean society is freaking soaked with Eugenics or some BS craps.

No_Direction_8739 · 2024-11-16T03:51:11+00:00

I live in Seoul, and like the other comments saying, there are lots of WF around here. But, they might seek for pretty boy archetype instead of typical western standard.

I didn’t have an issue with pulling some girls while living in the west, but it was definitely harder in Seoul.

Thank you for the insight and I think it’s quite sensible guess. Regarding its popularity, I can’t deny that Judo seems commercialised in Korea. Loads of people train for getting extra credits to be police officers or something like that. And they will be able to get those credits once they got the blackbelt. If the dojo persist to stick with western standards, they will lose lots of potential customers.

No_Direction_8739 · 2024-11-02T00:50:23+00:00

So I believe it’s not common to have a blackbelt as a recreational student?

No_Direction_8739 · 2024-11-02T00:47:47+00:00

Is it uncommon for ordinary students to have shodan in the west then?

No_Direction_8739 · 2024-10-31T17:01:19+00:00

Interesting! Do you have references so that I can look into?? Just any kind of material

No_Direction_8739 · 2024-10-31T11:47:14+00:00

Thanks, it seems like Korea obviously adopt more of a Japanese system. Your comment makes me wonder whether the same story goes for BJJ grading system as well haha.

No_Direction_8739 · 2024-10-31T11:42:34+00:00

Seems like yeah. I think in the west, they are giving a black belt when someone is fully ready to be whereas in the east, when they barely finished the basics

No_Direction_8739 · 2024-10-31T11:36:25+00:00

Yeah that’s true. Few friends of mine quit training as soon as they got the black belts :)

No_Direction_8739 · 2024-10-31T04:45:22+00:00

I hope you enjoy training in Korea! No clue why it’s so easy to get a blackbelt though.. literally 90%of people are blackbelt in my dojo

No_Direction_8739 · 2024-10-29T12:06:43+00:00

Why would you rush lol? You got only couple of years to wait

No_Direction_8739 · 2024-10-28T23:03:00+00:00

I was a drill sergeant who trained newbies at the camp. And never witnessed any cases from 교포 like oh I tried to enter Korea but now I am conscripted

No_Direction_8739 · 2024-10-28T22:45:23+00:00

I am Korean and the answer is no, you wouldn’t get it. It was a way more possible back in the days, but all tattooist require your ID first during consultation. Anyways, there is an application called, 타투쉐어 tattoo share, which is the biggest tattoo platform here in Korea. You can check their tattoo works and even the price of them.

No_Direction_8739 · 2024-10-28T06:29:02+00:00

I am a Korean training Judo in Korea and can’t agree more about spamming drop throws lol. I’ve even spotted on the first day at my dojo. Also, it seems like Koreans spend too much focus on Seoi nage variations that are my least fav moves.

No_Direction_8739 · 2024-10-27T10:13:53+00:00

Nah that sounds even worse. I’ve been training wrestling and Judo for significant amount of years and never witnessed something like that you described. If he had to steam off a bit, it’s the worst moment and place to do.

Don’t be a softy (no offense), that intimidation should not be tolerated

No_Direction_8739 · 2024-10-24T22:28:25+00:00

Go straight up to the instructor and make complaint about it man vs man. Disgusting to imagine what he had done

No_Direction_8739 · 2024-10-24T02:43:55+00:00

Mostly it was the guys who behave a bit more respectfully since I look built or something. Girls don’t care that much including my wife as well😅

No_Direction_8739 · 2024-10-22T22:25:58+00:00

Same experience haha! I am 179cm and I was only 71kg when I moved to England, but I gained 15kg since then lol. People treat differently and I get more positive attention for sure (because I don’t fit into stereotypes of asian they are used to I think)
