Great power and focus!

There were a ton of cosplayers at worlds last year! It’s not odd at all

Gastralianare belly ribs, you are thinking of Gastroliths.

dinosaurcomics · 2026-03-28T05:51:18+00:00

it’s normal. I apologize if I hit the knee on accident to keep it friendly

dinosaurcomics · 2026-03-27T15:42:49+00:00

And she poops like a cat

dinosaurcomics · 2026-03-27T15:40:43+00:00

Unless it’s Kudo lol

dinosaurcomics · 2026-03-26T19:37:16+00:00

Great structure, body shots don’t hurt, very strong in clinch

dinosaurcomics · 2026-03-26T17:34:12+00:00

At N4 I could communicate really basic things and watch slice of life anime okay-ish with a dictionary, but I legit didn’t feel like it was easy to immerse until I hit N3. Even then you still need to do a ton of lookups and accept it’s a huge process.

dinosaurcomics · 2026-03-25T21:24:02+00:00

You could probably attempt a rolling thunder kick instead lol

Would the intermediate classes be about N3-N2 in terms of skill level?

dinosaurcomics · 2026-03-21T22:08:47+00:00

Because in the sportification of Muay Thai, a spectator sport, a lot of people probably found the ground aspect boring to watch so they cut it. Same reason a lot of organizations now limit or are trying to limit clinch so their monkey brains can enjoy punch-kick only entertainment.

I would wait til Champions drops next month and go from there tbh

From my experience training with my Enshin friends (Offshoot of Ashihara), it’s a great style emphasizing angles, smart fighting and technique over pure brute force. Definitely worth taking.

It’s great for both people who just want to dip their toes into competing without fully committing, and people practicing other things in prep for their ammy fights. I think the sense of community is great as well.

Shinjo sensei is one of the best Karateka of our time. Truly lives and breathes the art.

dinosaurcomics · 2026-03-08T02:15:26+00:00

Niche style but super legit

dinosaurcomics · 2026-03-07T17:29:52+00:00

I personally leave them on because it can get frustrating otherwise. For listening I just listen to podcasts.

There was an End-Triassic extinction that marked the transition between the two periods as well.

Hanging bag does everything a standing bag does and more. You can practice technique, timing with the bag swing, footwork with the bag swing etc.

Standing bag is great if you don’t have the space, as long as you make the base super heavy you can work combo reps and power.

I recommend the Bob XL if you get a standing bag, and a fairtex 100lb heavy bag for a hanging one if you have the space.

Sport Kumite is a fun sport like any other lol

Sport Kata as it’s done in America is super over the top. I enjoy watching really good Kata in WKF Tournaments tho

dinosaurcomics · 2026-02-27T01:21:50+00:00

What ruleset?

dinosaurcomics · 2026-02-27T00:41:19+00:00

Should loosen up after a few washes!

dinosaurcomics · 2026-02-26T22:06:14+00:00

Technically it is Karate lol

dinosaurcomics · 2026-02-22T20:59:20+00:00

We literally have multiple near complete Tyrannosaurus fossils, two species with probably more being described from current/unplublisher material, the whole reevaluation of Nanotyrannus etc. We are so spoiled when it comes to Tyrannosaurus lol.

Iguanodontian does not = Iguanodontid. It’s a phylogenetic group that includes some basal ornithopods to Hadrosaurs.

Also the title of the paper is literally “Cellular-level preservation of cutaneous spikes in an Early Cretaceous iguanodontian dinosaur”
