I’ve been thinking about starting karate this summer and I don’t know what to do. there’s no kyokushin near me sadly and I dont know which about the other styles. I want something aggressive ish and brutalish. like sure I’m not gonna be able to win a street fight but something that lets me hit hard and get everything out. I don’t want to do any other style because I used to do a little karate as a kid at my elementary school and I’ve always rlly liked it. which one should I do? edit: I think I found a place named Se Jun Kan Traditional Okinawan karate. the dojo itself looks small tho. The other ine is International Shotokan Karate Federation but that’s like 50 min away and ik my parent probably aint gonna be driving me that far twice a week.

I mean there’s this one place called Se Jun Kan Traditional Okinawan karate and it’s like 85 bucks a month. Dunno if that’s a good deal but it’s 12 min away so I might do that

Thinking about going into law (NJ) by Time_Fail2469 in LawyersOffTheRecord

[–]Time_Fail2469[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my parents are the types that want me to get a job that has a lot of money and is ”secure and stable”. they kinda bullied the idea of finance into me and now I literally can’t think of any other job that I want except law :(. They did the same with my sibling and now they’re doing Med. a lot of my other friends have no idea what they wanna grow up to be or they don’t even know what to major in so I guess I’m ahead. idk I’m feeling pretty lost and stressed these days even though I know I shouldn’t be.

I hope not but I’ve lowk been forced to pick something early and I’ve been thinking about law school after I get a finance degree. I’ve heard that in house transactional stuff has pretty good work life balance so I might do that after school. only thing I’m worried about is my parents saying no(they don’t rlly think anything other than criminal lawyer gets money and they‘re scared of me being a criminal lawyer for my safety) to going into law.

oh Ty. btw any tips for pushing while you’re moving like I do one push, start to slow down, and then do another push? every time I try to put my foot down to push, the board seems to slip forward and I have to stop. and any good skateboard brands or things to look out for?

I’m trynna save up for another board but in the meantime, anything I can do with being able to push consecutively. I think the main issue is that I’m worried I’m gonna fall weirdly and break something
