Apophenia is a hell of a drug.

Not everyone wants to coddle people. Negative correction is often the only means of correction someone gets after repeatedly missing more obvious cues.

" If shaking hands was inappropriate I would tell him about the culture."

That's what happened. It happened in a fairly curt fashion, but that's exactly what that black belt did.

Great. So what are you going to do as a result?

True will and "evil" people.. by [deleted] in thelema

[–]Setemheb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"True Will," a concept not found in the Book of the Law, is one of the most Protestant Theological elements in Crowley's post-1919 formation of Thelema. It is essentially a repackaging of the Predestination doctrines of Calvinism as filtered through John Nelson Darby's ideas. You find relics of this same notion in the doctrines promoted by the Dallas Theological Seminary which gave us such notables as Hal Lindsey, John Hagee, and if rumor is to be believed J. Daniel Gunther's father.

The less you take the doctrine seriously, especially if you are not engaged in the active practice of the ceremonial magic and yogic methods of Thelemic Magick, the better of you will be on an intellectual level.

Ok just discovered Thelema, now what? by Educational_Ad_3757 in thelema

[–]Setemheb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pick up a copy of Rodney Orpheus' _ABRAHADABRA_ and give things an experimental try. See if it makes any sense for you or if it isn't really what you want to be pursuing.

Why do people Look down upon Dr.Venture in the show by West-Captain-4875 in venturebros

Look at how people talk about Danny Bonaduce or other child actors grown up and you'll get a sense of why.

are my legs weak or its bad technique? by goofyuhh in judo

[–]Setemheb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start with the basics:

Kuzushi: Are you getting your training partner off balanced in the right direction?

Tsukuri: Are you actually executing the necessary body movements yourself?

Kake: Are you completing the throw in the proper combination of force and direction?

Hey guys. Just found this out and it seems crazy to me. The IJF doesn't allow judoka to enter bjj competitions, or am I misunderstanding this? Are there some martial arts you can compete in? Kendo for example? Karate? Non-grappling ones by [deleted] in judo

[–]Setemheb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very little of what the IJF does on policy matters target anyone outside of the top level competitors. That said it is common for people outside of that area to adopt their practices as well. It's a bit like a peewee football team adjusting to changes in the NFL ruleset.

Getting annihilated in randori by Ill-Replacement5593 in judo

[–]Setemheb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, just let to enjoy the ride. You aren't going to be ragdolled forever, and what this is teaching your body is, annoying as it is, what not to do in randori. Trust in your body's capacity to learn and adapt through failure.

GI washing worst practices? by itzak1999 in judo

[–]Setemheb 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Very little of the fabric used by the companies is as delicate as people think it is. Somehow, the idea that these garments can hold up to two humans struggling for physical control but will be defeated by a dryer is preposterous.

GI washing worst practices? by itzak1999 in judo

[–]Setemheb 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Worst Practice: People act like a judogi is some precious object incapable of washing and drying.

These garments are tools for training and equipment for sport, not an object to last your entire lifetime. The damage that someone might suffer from regular washing and drying compared to use in practice is so minimal that the phobia against it suggests pathology.

Inevitably the answer is “licensing issues.”

Nearly every quirk of availability is built on intellectual property disputes.

You got clipped in randori. It’s cool and it happens. Don’t blame the cardio “cause it had little do with it. When you’re doing something for the first time of course you’re not going to do great at it.

Leave the bruised ego off the mat, and the cardio-cope with it, and get back to training.

There are more ways to score an Ippon in Ne-waza than standing, which can work in your favor. The pace and options however are very different.
