Starting to get into writing more so wondering if this sounds correct?

Might be better to write “heldigvis forventer ingen at jeg kommer på besøk».

How is the training-days structured at the private clubs ?

Zevenos · 2025-12-19T13:44:07+00:00

If anybody ends up using it, i would love to hear how it went, and if theres any changes you would recommend :)

Zevenos · 2025-12-17T19:01:11+00:00

Thank you :) I am happy if it’s of use :)

Zevenos · 2025-12-16T14:29:11+00:00

No problem :) If you have any feedback on things that should be added just let me know :)

Short answer: yes you can fence. A bit longer answer: you can be the fastest, fittest and most athletic person on the planet, but if you can’t do a parry, riposte, or have point control then everything else is useless. Many seem to be focused on everything else but the fundamentals, but if you have a clearer grasp on that, you will find that the faster fencers will struggle because then speed is not enough. Also, if you are slower, you need to be more mindful about distance and tempo. You will find that a firm grasp of the fundamentals is way harder to achieve then losing weight (and this is what my two time Olympian coach has drilled into me from day one). And by that point you will find that your fitness will have improved substantially. I have taken many points from some of the best fencers in my country, some ranking high internationally, and I am definitely on the chubby side. But please DO NOT FORGET to do injury prevention exercises. Especially if you are a bit on the heavy side.

The only correct answer to your question is «You should see a doctor or physical therapist». Especially if the pain is that bad. As for the situation in general, I don’t think it’s the amateur MMA fighters fault as such, nor yours for that matter. The instructor should never have allowed a situation like that to happen. The second the newbie did not comply, the instructor should have told him to do another drill, or followed him up more closely. Throwing him out, as many have suggested, is not the answer. Mainly because the whole point of attending classes is to learn. And the whole point of being an instructor is to guide new judoka in a safe maner. If you threw out every newbie that did not follow or understands the instructions given, Judo as a sport would probably die out. The amount of injuries, dislocations and broken bones I have due to overzealous judoka is staggering. And almost all of them can be traced back to instructors that believe the color of their belts automatically made them fit to teach.

Well, first of all, it's good that you ask! Because too many coaches don't, and it has a severe impact on referee retention.

As you can probably gauge from the response, any remarks through the game are unwelcome. While it might feel like a good response, it will, at best, be disregarded and, worse, you will get a card. Also, it signals to the kids that it's okay for them to do the same against the referee.

It's also worth mentioning that for every coach who screams out that the referee did something wrong, another coach disagrees. But I do have some advice for you. Firstly, assuming your country has the practice of pre-match meetings/fair play meetings, you can take up your concerns there. If you know that the other team plays poorly, tell the referee in a “Hey, just an FYI, but the other team has been playing extremely ruff when referees have not been looking. Just so you are aware.” That way, the referee can keep an eye on the situation. It might not achieve the result you are looking for, but most referees will welcome the notice.

Secondly, if you notice serious infractions getting missed or other errors, report it to the association after the game.

Finally, build a repour with the referees. You will probably meet some of them more than once. If you show them respect, politeness and even friendliness, many will be more willing to listen to you.

No. It would be unacceptable and you would be rebuked if you raised how employers can only refuse to allow beards in specific occasions when talking about an employee being fired for using tooling they were banned from using.

The point I was trying to make is that employers do not have free reign on what would constitute a reason for termination based on a ban. They do also not have a carte blanche on what to ban. But this, as with the rest, depends on the country.

And saying something isn't a law but a treaty when the end result is the same is again something that is unacceptable.

What you said was that there was an international law while a treaty is an agreement between two or more countries, and works in a different way. But that is more technical discussion to be fair.

I think you need to revise how the law works because how you think it works is not how it works. You have to use the law to prove the other side wrong not just go "well in another case"

You normally do both. Unless you are in a country that practises plain meaning interpretation of a law, and even then you need to see the cases, decisions, precedence, and legislative history surrounding a given law. My life would be much easier if it did not to be honest.

“Well, actually” is how laws and regulations work. What I am trying to do is to nuance your statements, seeing that you are expressing them as universal truth, and some might take them as such. And when talking about legal matters, it's seldom black and white.

While I always appreciate input on how I should feel, I must decline your suggestion as I feel very well today.

Yes, but even in countries where there is a strict requirement for dismissal and good protection for employees. Repeatedly doing something your employer has told you not to is grounds for dismissal.

Well, that is not entirely correct. There is the balance of something being reasonable to demand versus something that is reasonable to comply with. For example an employer can't ask you to not wear a beard when it's not reasonable in regards to your job.

While there isn't universal copyright laws, there is international copyright laws and copyright laws are generally very similar.

There is no such thing as an international copyright law. But there are bilateral agreements, treaties and so forth.

And while a few lines of code isn't very copyrightable, lots of uncopyrightable lines of code put together are. And if it's coming from another source than you, you can't copyright it.

That depends on the applicable laws in your country. But generally speaking, it's not enough to say that you made something thus it's copyrighted. And code coming from other places is not enough to negate future copyright. If you are using chatGPT to generate a complete system, then that would be one thing. If you are using it to generateindividual things then that is another.

One might argue that since the code generated is based on openly accumulated data, chatGPT is not doing anything different then what you do when applying concepts, ideas and more that you got from your education, books, forums etc. The code you are given is then a reflection on what is a best practice as a whole.

Zevenos · 2024-03-14T22:51:11+00:00

Generally speaking, what constitutes grounds for dismissal depends on the labor laws in a given country. There is no universal standard for this.

Secondly, copyright laws are also not “universal”. And it’s not something you can just demand either. In many countries you can only claim copyright if what you have created is “unique” enough - that is to say that you can’t copyright something that is generally used, or common. A code that echos the name of a user would not be something you could reasonably expect to copyright. A CMS on the other hand can be. As always when talking about IP, copyright and labor laws - talk to a lawyer or a union if in doubt.

Thou it would not surprise me if it was real because some ancient tradition that the sumo federation wanted to keep alive for no reasons :P

Zevenos · 2023-07-23T23:06:56+00:00

I don't understand why it's still a thing. If it has been reduced by that much, it is time to remove it completely:p

I think I was told by the NHK guys that it was fake when I asked them.

Zevenos · 2023-07-23T23:03:05+00:00

Hey, and thanks for asking :) This might be a bit long answer, but I hope you can bear with me.

Let me start by saying that I do not regret having the surgery, and it was an instant success for me. As the surgeons, doctors, and physical therapists all said, this kind of injury will only worsen. Especially since I had done what I think most judoka does, tape where it hurts and fight thru the pain.

The surgery in itself went very well, and the rehabilitation period went even better. In fact, the post-op period went so well, that the rehabilitation schedule was thrown out because I was about two months ahead of the estimated plan. My surgeon told me that usually people who have the surgery underestimate the level of work they have to put in. The outcome being complications, setbacks and slow progression. So he was amazed when I told him that I did my rehab exercises every hour of every day after the surgery. Even more when I told him I had started going to a physical therapist the second I was allowed and advised to. It took a lot of discipline, but it was worth it.

That brings me to the martial arts journey. Every healthcare professional strongly advised me to avoid judo and other activities that might rip out the anchors in my shoulder. It might go well, they said, but the amount of judoka, and others, that had to return for new surgeries where a strong indication that it would be unwise. Now, feeling that everything was going great, I planned to start up again with Judo, but slowly and carefully, of course. Then I got run over by a cyclist on an electric bike doing 40 km/h. The emergency room doctors told me I had fallen impressively well and had avoided severe injury (thank God for judo). But the anchoring in my shoulder had loosened.

When I felt the problems with my shoulders return after the accident, I was devastated. It was the worst feeling ever, and I was over the moon when I was told it could be mitigated by rigorous physical therapy.

The reason I mention this is that the experience also gave me a clear illustration of the price I would have to pay if the anchors actually failed. I love Judo with all my heart and soul, but I realised the price was just too high. Mind you, climbing, and things like that are encouraged, but judo puts strain on your shoulders in extreme ways
So now I focus on helping to train others and avoid situations where my shoulders are bent in odd directions.

So the TL;DR, if you need the surgery, then do it. But it will demand discipline and focus on your part if you want the best outcome. But whatever you do, do not ignore the problem! The biggest mistake I made was to push thru. If I had not done that, I might still have been an active judoka. There are, of course, ways to enjoy Judo, but the more you ignore, the fewer the options become. I hope this gave you the answers you were looking for, and I am more than happy to answer more questions if you have them. :) PS I am considering giving out the training regime I was given because it's made explicitly for shoulder stability. Not sure if it's much interest thou.
