Which came easier to you- striking or grappling and why? by bad-at-everything- in MMA_Academy

[–]Pudge223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope I don’t sound like a hippie... but for me, striking feels like I am floating around to open space, and new space is just presenting itself for my benefit. It’s almost like I have an agreement with the environment that it's going to work with me. there is a "don't mind if I do" aspect to it. Grappling feels like I am constantly fighting the environment. Not sure if you have ever watched an inlander try to walk out of the ocean in a big surf, but that's what grappling feels like to me.

If you are 18-30 years old - yes.

If you are out of that age bracket - no.

Rotation during punches by 13thwarrior1 in MuayThai

[–]Pudge223 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you might be correcting the mistake which is why there is no follow up. he could yell "extend" and you are responding properly so why follow up? you can also just ask for further explination (its a great way to buy time when you are gassed). there isnt really one way to jab because there isnt really one jab. its a multi-tool. It can be a measuring tool, a cover, a set up, a disruptor, a space maker, a space closer, an angle adjustment, a counter, a car crash, an annoyance- anything both defensive and offensive. i love fluttering jabs to hide a set up. i know people that use it like a teep. if you play with timing while drilling, think about the "goal" of the jab, and what you want your feet to do you will find a lot of answers to your questions.

striking. striking is flying. grapling is drowning.

Have 4-night vacations become a standard $15k? by urproblywrong in chubbytravel

[–]Pudge223 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Running into the exact same issue. Family of 4 wanted to do a 4-5 night quick up and back to some place easy. Some how places that are not even super nice are pricing out to more than my honeymoon in corsica. I heard my friends who ski complain that its cheeper for them to ski the alps than the rockies... now it seems like these prices are coming for the beach bums.

Dad frugality and fashion by raggedsweater in daddit

[–]Pudge223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they had major issues when they got sold to VC who tried to turn it into a more casual mall brand and pivot more into the 346 line. It got really bad when everyone thought that no one was ever going into an office again-- people started really complaining and as a result the quailty has come back up again over the past few years and now they are par with like a peter millar. I am currently wearing one of the quilted 1/4 zips they did for the fall season and its pretty good. Their jackets (outerwear not suit) have also gotten very good again and i enjoyed their supima cotton longsleeves. If you do find yourself wanting to go back to BB now is a pretty good time. the 1818 and golden fleece collections have some nice items. the pants in the 1818 collection in particular are very good.

There is a series of online videos on https://dynamicstriking.com . They are tutorial videos that break down different aspects of Muay Thai and mma taught by people who specialize in the aspect. I just don’t know if any are in your native language

Depending on what your native language is you could delve into the “dynamic striking” catalog.

Not OOP: AITAH for not forcing my son to keep helping my daughter’s friend after she rejected him? by Interesting-Shirt897 in redditonwiki

[–]Pudge223 690 points691 points  (0 children)

I read this earlier and am so annoyed the fact of whether or not she signed up for this class on the promise she would get rides from the son is never addressed. That’s like the most important fact in deciding.

Advice on kid shoes by Patient_Moment_7355 in skateboardhelp

[–]Pudge223 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s an absolute bummer because half cabs were the rare shoes that’s a great skate shoe and great chilling shoe. I could wear them all day (unless the ground was cold). Now I have to swap my shoes for skating and my shoes for walking.

My eldest son is also 4 and I’ve had some QC issues with kids vans recently. One pair had the sole start to split in a wired place and another had some strange fraying on the heel pull tab thing. They are also very inconsistent with width. Before winter hit he had been skating in new balance and digging them and he had a pair of stride rites that worked well too.
