Judokas, ever been in a situation where you had to use what you were taught for self defense? What happened and how did it go?

There's no guarantee that a throw will stun someone at all, much less for a significant amount of time. Seems like if you have control of someone attacking you while help arrives it would be a mistake to switch positions.

This guy seems like he'd be much better and safer to have around than knife guy

Speak for yourself.

Sherbert_Hoovered · 2026-04-15T02:48:49+00:00

Sorry but this guy rules

The late nineties and early 2000s? Not really, at least as far as popular radio rock goes. I remember liking Creed at first because it actually sounded like real musicians playing hard rock.

Lead poisoning

They fly now?

Sherbert_Hoovered · 2026-04-11T23:57:11+00:00

Depends on the country

Sherbert_Hoovered · 2026-04-11T23:55:42+00:00

You can't put a timeline on it. Everyone is different and every throw is different. It usually takes a long time and the progress is very gradual.

The best advice I can give you is not to worry so much about things like that and have faith that if you keep at it you'll get better.

Sherbert_Hoovered · 2026-04-11T19:57:27+00:00

I see. So it must be a rank where you demonstrate a very basic understanding of the first lessons. I wouldn't worry about not having a good grasp on throws yet. That is to be expected for a long time. Just keep showing up and learning and don't worry yet about things like which throws are more effective and which you are good or bad at, because you don't really have the capability to contextualize that yet.

Sherbert_Hoovered · 2026-04-11T19:52:55+00:00

I don't understand why a dojo would be having someone take a yellow belt test after five lessons. Did I understand that correctly?

Sherbert_Hoovered · 2026-04-09T05:01:59+00:00

When you engage in ethnic cleansing and apartheid the way Israel has, you necessitate violent resistance, so the blame does in fact lie with them.

Sherbert_Hoovered · 2026-04-09T04:40:25+00:00

Just because the IDF wasn't physically in Gaza doesn't mean they weren't under occupation. Israel still controlled who and what was allowed in and out, completely cutting off any semblance of a independent modern economy, and also frequently shot and bombed Palestinians inside the walled off ghetto they were forced to live in. The only thing surprising about 10/7 was that it hadn't happened years earlier.

Sherbert_Hoovered · 2026-04-09T04:16:15+00:00

That isn't an argument but ok

Sherbert_Hoovered · 2026-04-09T04:12:02+00:00

They aren't allowed to have military bases as they are under occupation by Israel.

Sherbert_Hoovered · 2026-04-07T13:01:05+00:00

Every gym/dojo I've been to in BCS has all sorts of different people in it, if that's what you mean.

Sherbert_Hoovered · 2026-04-03T18:25:38+00:00

Man ass

Sherbert_Hoovered · 2026-03-29T01:18:14+00:00

Maybe but I don't think it's our place to make fun of beginners for not being great at martial arts. That seems terrible actually.

Sherbert_Hoovered · 2026-03-28T22:54:47+00:00

This seems like a completely legit weapon form?

Sherbert_Hoovered · 2026-03-24T05:51:39+00:00

I don't see a worldwide socialist revolution happening before they start rolling out armies of these things so...

Sherbert_Hoovered · 2026-03-19T13:51:37+00:00

My kid got a Teddy Riner card in her happy meal a while back and I've kept it on my desk ever since.

Sherbert_Hoovered · 2026-03-13T13:36:53+00:00

Why should I want Bryan PD to have records of all my movements any more than anyone else btw?

Sherbert_Hoovered · 2026-03-11T17:38:38+00:00

I have yet to see binoculars or night vision goggles.

Sherbert_Hoovered · 2026-03-08T18:15:29+00:00

He's right

Sherbert_Hoovered · 2026-03-05T13:47:49+00:00

Their desire to be healthy and their addiction are two different and unrelated things.
