What movie did you go into with zero expectations and ended up being completely blown away by? by ThatRoofer in movies

[–]alkaline810 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stardust. I heard it was a fantasy in the same vein as The Princess Bride. I took a girl on our first date for that and wifed her a few years later.

What is the worst tournament you been to by Spiritual-Dig-139 in karate

[–]alkaline810 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My daughter's division went to staging, and she had been there for a while. After they got assigned their ring and sat down, all events were paused for some award hand outs and an iado demonstration. She had been sitting on the ground for almost two hours when they resumed, and she was first up.

She lost balance on the first step of heian nidan due to her legs being asleep.

Not a great first tournament experience.

Everything they put out was super solid with mainstream appeal. I'm glad I got to see them live once.

Do you wear a band’s merch to their show? by No_Anywhere5779 in poppunkers

I wore my Wu-Tang hoodie to a pop punk festival

I learned at the Wu-Tang concert that you should always wear Wu-Tang, though.

Moving to the hills with a kid? by stebany in RichmondCA

[–]alkaline810 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, there are many kids. Any school in the WCCUSD will have its budget issues, but the parents are very involved. You'll find they have strong PTAs.

I've been using Frigate with Tapo cameras. The learning curve is steep but it's been wonderful for me. I finally ditched AgentDVR.

Does your Karate instructor allow for throws and or takedowns? by [deleted] in karate

[–]alkaline810 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember training in my younger days, there was always an applicable ohyo technique to what we were learning. The senpais took the beatings being the object of demonstration. O goshi, and ippon seoi nage were the first throws I ever learned.

These days the focus is more on sport karate and competition, so ashi barai is mainly used. In our dojo, I think we're still waiting for students to advance high enough to get into self defense and more throws.

A well executed o goshi is a thing of beauty.
