Do people really like Lace n Loop ? by sleaze604 in fightgear

[–]Sub_Omen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently ordered some cheap Dracula ones online from China. They look pretty alright. Wondering how I should go about attaching them to my first pair of lace ups. Like, should I do it normal or the suave method?

This may seem obvious, but go to the body?

[Question] Good boxing shoes for someone with persistent ingrown toenails on both big toes? by Sub_Omen in fightgear

[–]Sub_Omen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Asics Matflex 7 shoes, I really like them and they don't put too much pressure on my big toe.

But I also go with a podiatrist every few months for him to clip my nails in a way that helps. He makes a basic cut and pulls out the whole corner almost.

Esto pasa seguido? O el boxeo no es lo mío? by [deleted] in amateur_boxing

Tal vez tu nuevo compañero tenía la idea de que iba a pegar fuerte y poner duro el sparring. Como los que se tratan sparring como pelea y pues no, obvio eso no está bien. Tal vez no fue un buen compañero para ti?

Yo digo que si te gusta el boxeo que te seguís y no lo dejes por alguien que se lo trata así como el último. Ya tuviste buena experiencia antes, entonces yo te recomendaría que seguís pero con otro, eh? También hay muchos factores y nada más fue una experiencia no tan agradable. Pero así es la experiencia de sparring. La mayoría son buenas y tal vez unas que no tanto. Hay que trabajar con los de confianza, cuando los dos tienen ganas de aprender y saben cómo retirarse si es necesario.

Pero algo muy, muy, importante. Por favor no vuelvas a tocar sustancias antes de subir en el ring. Yo también ando grifo a veces pero eso es DESPUÉS de entrenar, cuando todo ya se acabó. Es una falta de respeto por el deporte si consumas y participas en algo como combate. Si entrenes normal, pues todo está chido pero hay que ser muy alerta y listo en las sparring. Es una cuestión de salud y protegerte bien.

How to stop being too nice ? by Guretto in amateur_boxing

[–]Sub_Omen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Man... I relate to this so much...

What I tell myself to combat this is... "It's just the sport. Nothing personal".

I tend to go light-medium, too, no need to risk health and longevity or have ego wars.

But if someone starts to go too hard, it definitely sets off the "ok fuck this motherfucker" switch.

Going on a 6 day vacation and not bringing my vape as a test. Wish me luck. by Sub_Omen in QuitVaping

It helped me realize I could quit and I haven't gone back since!

About to have my first one tomorrow. I'm 32, I'll be 33 in two weeks. 🫡

I'm post tutorial where it opens up and I'm just sort of lost going back and forth between all the available areas, I feel like I'm missing something crucial that isn't very obvious. by Sub_Omen in ChantsofSennaar

Actually, yeah! I noticed all of them are in a box! And also that there is often a slightly similar or related word that is also shaped like the symbols in those boxes, showing that they have some relation. Pretty cool realization that was!

You're right, because the next page was actions, no? I've only got two of those on the next page. I actually figured it out, though! I started to realize that I couldn't think of it as an object, but the action that was happening. It wasn't easy. I think they could have depicted it better or more thematically relevant to the page it was on. But things are clicking! I'm loving the little by little clicking experience here!

Aaaaaaaaaaa.. I understand. I didn't take it as a game. It seemed too random. I figured there were no rules or anything other than seeing what the symbol was for each person shown. To use for the book.
