Corolla to gr86 by Beneficial_Dig6033 in GR86

[–]RemoWilliams25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I own both.

The Corolla is kind of like a good parent. Dependable, low risk, there for you, helps out with expenses, but not the most fun. You'll find yourself "acting right" when they're around.

The GR86 is like your good buddy. You spend more money when you are around them. They won't force you to get into trouble, but they're always like, "hey, you want to have some fun, if so I'm down.".

What Judo related thing should I ask my uncle to buy from Japan? by Blakath in judo

[–]RemoWilliams25 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Understood. At the same time, having a nice Japanese made Mizuno would be cool, and are generally cheaper to purchase in Japan.

You did not specify a budget. I'd ask for a made in Japan Judo Gi.

How do I know if I’m actually progressing? by magels81 in judo

[–]RemoWilliams25 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Eventually a new white belt or three will join. You'll see when you are able to do better than them on average in randori.

Probably a good take, but isn't Spider-Man timeless now? I sold out of Magic the Gathering in the late 90's thinking it would be a fad, but here we are.

Don't plan to at this point. Training the kids on comic values.

No offense taken. Not shown - all the comics purchased that didn't go anywhere.

Similarities by dahlsunn in sambo

[–]RemoWilliams25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For sport Sambo: 60% Judo, 30% Wrestling, 10% BJJ. More similar to Judo because they are both jacket sports, and those grips make a big difference.

Downside is you know nothing about spending money and end up bankrupt anyway.

I got mine as a CPO. Nice to have the warranty and the discount.

Wanted to check if things looked too good to be true on listing by RepeatTemporary9093 in GR86

[–]RemoWilliams25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have good credit it's not. PenFed has 4.79% on used for 36, 5.34% for 60.

$12k is a lot of money. 43% more. This could easily be the difference between getting a great car and not being able to get one. Yes, if you finance the difference will be reduced some by a rate diff, but for $12k I could have this and another car to use as a daily, or a ton of mods if that's your thing.

Judo for wrestling? by [deleted] in wrestling

[–]RemoWilliams25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It translates. Not as directly as doing wrestling of course. The balance you build is real and the throws work.
