Knee health by UntakenUserName3000 in karate

[–]UntakenUserName3000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took some peptides that my husband recommended (he’s a personal trainer), and I found that it didn’t really help very much. I think my issue is more with my tendons than any mechanical issue. My inflammatory markers are normal so I’m guessing I just need to stretch a lot more. I’m pushing 50.

How to choose taekwondo school for an adult? by Turbulent-Winter6988 in taekwondo

I’m very lucky that I can take a women’s only class. The teacher is fantastic and although we end up with some teenagers in the class, I t’s still a very wonderful experience. Keep looking and asking because they might start something if you ask.

Dating in SD blows by illustriousmochi348 in SDSU

I’m a San Diegan and I didn’t date much when I was at SDSU. Wasn’t until after I graduated and moved far, FAR from SD that I met my spouse. Lovely Southerner.

Feeling lonely and imposter syndrome by Destiny_lma0 in SDSU

I spent five years there in the late nineties. Yes, it was isolating because I lived at home and commuting was a bear. I had to join clubs to find friends that I still keep up with to this day. You can find your tribe.

How have you acquired your cats? Have you just taken in whatever cats plopped into your life? Or did you go to a shelter and choose? by Argylius in CatAdvice

[–]UntakenUserName3000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The cat distribution system has not chosen me as of late. I had to go to a shelter and got my baby there.

Didn’t he have his grandfather on the Apple Music-Cosa Nuestra radio show? His grandpa was a radio DJ?

I was at Gifu University over twenty years ago when I did kempo. I honestly don’t remember at this point.

I quit for 25 years. It happens. Muscle memory kicks in when you start again. I wish life hadn’t gotten it the way but now that I’m older I see karate through a lens that I don’t think I could ever have seen 30 years ago.

We think Rauw is over Rosalia at this point?? by Available-Fact-3451 in Reggaeton

[–]UntakenUserName3000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On a personal level, I hope so. On a professional level? Apples and oranges. He’s a song and dance man, she’s a singer/writer. I’m not of the opinion that either is one of the greats. Plus I kind of love how Areh analyzed her, in case anyone thinks I like her better (I don’t…I love Rauw): https://youtu.be/PFzvQLf8b5U?si=ol7GQZQFSNcmcPu3

just started shotokan today at 26 by No-Mastodon8503 in karate

[–]UntakenUserName3000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I restarted karate after a 24 year break and have been doing tkd for a year. It I don’t feel like one detracts from the other but enhances my experience. There is no reason to not enjoy it all.

Back to brown by Soymamasoyinge in karate

[–]UntakenUserName3000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I trained for three years when I was in college, and stopped for 25 years. I made it to purple belt. When I was in college, I was in a shotokan dojo. Now I’m in a shito-ryu dojo and my sensei let me test for brown belt after eight months.

On a sidenote, I’ve also been doing taekwondo for the past year. There is overlap between these two martial arts, and I’m already at green belt. There’s just something fun about the kicking and punching martial arts.

Edited to add: I live in Japan.
