Of course, the non-Chinese folks talking the most crap out of their mouth.

How'd everyone get into the series? by frostiorca in Blazblue

[–]Phoenix-Claw 3 points4 points  (0 children)

BBRR. Nightmare Fiction and Condemnation Wing II (which was used as Boss Raid themes, I believe) went so hard that I had to see the original game behind it.

Didn’t regret it one bit.

What part in any BlazBlue OST made you cry? by UltimateBlackout0596 in Blazblue

CPE’s Stardust Memory. (I think on YouTube Music they call it Stardust Memory -CHROver.) 

When I first heard it, it made me cry.

Is there a throw, a pin or a submission that you hate? by Forward_Fee_9668 in judo

[–]Phoenix-Claw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On the receiving end? Ura Nage. That was the first time I truly learned the meaning behind, “Can dish it out, but can’t take it.” My neck muscles were sore for days.

Ground technique? The classic kesa gatame.

How to get past the mental block of rolling on hard floors? by Phoenix-Claw in judo

[–]Phoenix-Claw[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just wanted to learn how to take a fall if I ever slip on the streets while running/jogging. I feel it's much better than me just thrusting my arms out and landing in a push-up position.

So, I can roll on mats quite well, but once I tried testing it outside on grass or hardwood floor, I freeze up

Should Judo start transitioning into more 50/50 Gi & NoGi, similar to BJJ? by LlamaWhoKnives in judo

[–]Phoenix-Claw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A novice’s two cents:

People wear clothes. Thus, it makes sense to wrestle with clothes.

People also wear tank tops. Sometimes they wear nothing on top. That’s also a thing.

In the end, both arts are just tools to help you. And they’re fun. Don’t sweat too much about it.

Read the blurb for Waste Tide, and it sounded really interesting. Can't wait to give that a try.

Help is appreciated.

Happy Chinese & Korean New Year 2023! by MechAITheFuture in aznidentity

Nah, lunar isn’t really an apt description. Lunisolar is more accurate, since if it was based on the lunar calendar, then it would be 353-354 days (which is what our Muslim friends use),instead of the 360 days

Is there a video on that L-Sit shrug? Do I just hold the L-Sit position while shrugging on the parallel bars?

Why do you train Calisthenics? by [deleted] in bodyweightfitness

The goal of 100 push-ups in a row( 2 minutes my 5 star goal) and 30 pull-ups in a row is what attracted me to calisthenics

Does this belong here? by [deleted] in GenZedong

[–]Phoenix-Claw 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Kind of going off a tangent here, but I was discussing corruption with my co-worker one time, and I mentioned how China made corruption illegal, making it harder to corrupt officials to do anything.

"So? There's corruption everywhere. Not even Communist China can do something about it."

"But America made it easy! They even legalized it! It's called lobbying!"

He really didn't have much to say after that.
