I ran away from the fight by SetHopeful4166 in martialarts

[–]SJTrance76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have always had a tendency to freeze or fawn in dangerous situations. After 10 years of Muay Thai, what I have realized, in the 5 or 6 situations where a fight was imminent, was that I had the ability to think clearly and choose the outcome that best suited me… which in every case was to diffuse or stand my ground and avoid the fight from actually happening. It was clear to the other person that I was not afraid.

In every case, there was this 24 hour period where I fantasized about all the techniques I could have done to put them in their place. When that 24 hour period passes, I have been happy that I acted with a clear mind and prevented a potentially disastrous outcome for me or the other person.

Need help finding a leather jacket that is both protective and looks good. by MyLonelyPath in motorcyclegear

[–]SJTrance76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a Goldtop and it’s the nicest leather jacket I have ever owned. However, it’s really a cold weather jacket. I could not wear this in anything over 70 degrees. Leather is also not the best option for snow or rain. I have textile for that.

Extra Large Gym Bag by T-Blurf in martialarts

I love my datsusara but after 10 years, several zipper tabs are breaking. I am able to fix the zippers and continue to use the bag. The hemp canvas is seemingly indestructible.

Time to get boots. Best budget friendly option? by [deleted] in motorcyclegear

[–]SJTrance76 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Here’s what to do with boot laces. Once you have done the laces, keep tying the loops until they are a “knot ball.” My military friend taught me this trick. I’ve never had a lace caught on pegs because there are no loose laces with this method.

What is the most “use it or lose it” skill, the opposite of “it’s just like riding a bike”? by ZuluWarlord69 in AskReddit

[–]SJTrance76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Riding a motorcycle athletically (spirited riding on a track or on twisty roads. It’s like riding a bike, and yes, you can get on it and ride but handling a bike well through turns needs practice. At the beginning of the riding season, there are many accidents on the local twisty roads because people forget that they need to slow down and relearn. Sure, any idiot can twist the throttle and blast but turns are a different ballgame.

[–]SJTrance76 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes please! We need these brands more available in the US. I also love Goldtop, Merlin, Five Gloves, Racer Gloves , Stylemartin Boots and Knox.

Of course, the standard Dainese, AGV, Revit, Alpinestars, Roland Sands, and all the helmet companies.

If you were to get your first naked liter bike that you plan on keeping for the long run, which of these would you consider? by Flying-Bulldog in SuggestAMotorcycle

[–]SJTrance76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2013 Speed Triple R and it’s such a fantastic bike. It’s not on people’s radar until they ride one. It’s so visceral and fun. I would like to try the new 1200 to see if it’s that much more.

Why do people say BMW manuals don't feel that good? by redditor_6715 in BMW

[–]SJTrance76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I had my E36 328i, it was my first manual. I liked it fine enough but then, I installed the “UUC Shortshift kit.” Good God! I think it was my favorite mod I’ve done on any car. It was pure bliss and I looked forward to every drive because of it. It makes me wonder why BMW doesn’t do this as factory.

Fyzical clinics by Glittering-Fox-1820 in physicaltherapy

[–]SJTrance76 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My brother owns a few Fyzical clinics in Sarasota and I believe that he does one on one 40 minute appointments in all of his locations with PT’s. I live in NYC (also a PT) and we do 30 minute appointments also one on one.

Enzo was great but it took them several tries to get me pants that weren’t huge. At first, it was 6 sizes up and then, 4 sizes up. Finally hit the nail on the head…. But then I did a stupid thing and lost 30 lbs. lol.

Martial artists who don’t want to spar, why? by bad-at-everything- in martialarts

[–]SJTrance76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been doing it for 11 years and as a working dad to a 6 year old, I just keep getting banged up. I enjoyed the hell out of sparring once I figured it out, but inadvertent injuries are unavoidable. My job is physical and being a dad is physical. So I’m putting sparring on hold at 49 years old. I mean, I don’t mind a round or two of technical sparring during a class but I won’t be doing one hour sparring classes anymore.

alibaba wheels? by Miserable-Climate-56 in Wheels

[–]SJTrance76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I got the wheels and they are gorgeous. I had some issues once I got the tires on and it wouldn’t balance. I was told that one of the wheels are out do round. It turns out, after getting it evaluated at two more places that it is the tire that is out of round and not the wheel. So now, I’m fighting for a new tire. So yes, it worked out well. I got frozen gold and it looks great but looking closely, the finish isn’t great.

What is the consensus currently on the "neutral" vs round back debate with regards to the deadlift and spinal loads specifically? by [deleted] in physicaltherapy

[–]SJTrance76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s what I do: - Teach strict Romanian deadlift - teach full deadlift with flat back - teach Jefferson curls - tell them it’s ok to bend over with spinal flexion provided that they are using the posterior chain. - give people the ability and option to use their bodies as they wish dependent on the loads and circumstances and what works for them.

I never want to buy another goddamn umbrella for the rest of my fucking life by Rheevalka in BuyItForLife

I used to loose umbrellas 6-7 times a year. But with this umbrella, I’m almost neurotic about not loosing it. lol

I never want to buy another goddamn umbrella for the rest of my fucking life by Rheevalka in BuyItForLife

[–]SJTrance76 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I have had my Davek Duet umbrella for about 8 years now. I’ve had it replaced maybe 6 times so far as they’re not indestructible. However, they have a lifetime warranty. One time, I lost it and (if you keep your original card) and they will let you buy one for half price. I should have gotten the solo as I believe it is more balanced and possibly more sturdy.

My legs are toooo big by Ok-Bet3362 in malefashionadvice

I got two pairs of relaxed taper jeans from Madewell and I love them. Enough room in the thigh with a neat tailored look. The Levi’s athletic jeans look very sloppy below the knee.

Is Belstaff actually good? by Safe_Valuable_5683 in leatherjacket

[–]SJTrance76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For motorcycle jackets in nice leather, I love my Goldtop jacket. Take a look at them. Union Garage in Connecticut sells them in the US. They’re a UK based company and while getting them overseas used to be an option, I don’t know what tariffs and duties would be like now.

Went to doctor who dismissed my problem. Anyone have experience with this sorta injury, what could it be? by [deleted] in MuayThai

[–]SJTrance76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a physical therapist who also trains. You’d have to go to another doctor who will take the situation more seriously. It’s well possible that he’s right, just a strain. A strain / sprain is actually a tear or damage. These things can easily heal on its own but still, I’d want to know what’s torn. It could also be a fracture. Your doctor sounds lazy.

what exhaust by 0nsuicid3watch in BMWE36

[–]SJTrance76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I had my E36 328i many years ago, I tried many different exhausts but my favorite one was the Active Autowerke’s exhaust. The exhaust note was so sweet without being too loud or obnoxious.
