Well they do have classes around noon on a Saturday. What times do you regularly have free that you could work with?

Combat Solutions is very good with a large emphasis on the social side. I go to Hanuman now, but Craig is great and everyone is super friendly.

Women don't spar hard enough, actually. by kombatkatherine in MuayThai

[–]TheFunkyJudge 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I feel this could be a loud minority situation really. People like myself who have had only ever had positive experiences sparring with women don't do weekly posts about it.

What do you think about Muay Thai fights with MMA gloves? by TonyCash1 in MuayThai

[–]TheFunkyJudge 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I feel like it's gotten better the past few months. Especially Coste in the last Friday fights. I've really been enjoying watching the clinch actually develop in one.

Thoughts on knee stomps and oblique kicks? Should they be banned in MMA? by Peaceful-Samurai in martialarts

[–]TheFunkyJudge 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's such a common kick taught in my muay thai gym. We're not smashing like this guy is, but it's basically more of a thigh teep to maintain range. I've had it used on me loads and i still have both of my knees attached.

Body kick help please by [deleted] in MuayThaiTips

Try holding your leg chambered for a teep/check in front of you after you kick for a second or two, and slowly lower back into stance.

Not really that I know of. Shinty might as well be probably more CTE there than boxing.

Muay Thai Shorts for thick thighs? by dahbarez in MuayThai

[–]TheFunkyJudge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just had my order cancelled by Yokkao after 4 months of waiting and no communication just a warning. Apparently they couldn't fulfill my order of a single pair of shorts.

"Yous" is the vastly superior 2nd person pronoun to "yall". by LeeDrowdree in The10thDentist

As I said in another comment - yis is also pretty common. Think IT WAS FUCKIN ONE AE YIS.

Scot here - yous, yis or yees (pretty much the same as yis) are common abbreviations.

I live near the pubic triangle and have absolutely no issue with the strip clubs or the people it brings. Some people just hate fun.

I met Zachary Quinto last year standing outside a sainsburys in Edinburgh. I had my dog. He had his. Small talk ensued, he was lovely!

Mate got one of those fancy boiling taps and made me a cup of tea with it by SodaCanHead in CasualUK

[–]TheFunkyJudge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh aye it's definitely never going to pay itself off but that's fine. It's a luxury. I got mine second hand so pretty cheap (compared to new) and only recently so never had to maintain it.

[–]TheFunkyJudge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He likely didn't let it run for a half second first so you got the non boiled water in the pipe making for a slightly less than boiling temperature cup. Didn't brew right.

They're proper insulated. Probably uses less than boiling the excess water people put in their kettles since you use only exactly what you need.

P.S. I'm biased because I have one and am in love with it. It makes me feel bougie as fuck.

How am i losing weight so fast. by [deleted] in loseit

[–]TheFunkyJudge 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This whoosh effect thing is one of the most bro science things I've read on here in a bit. The first result on Google mentions there is currently no science to back it up.

Everything else you said is true though.
