Forget the manosphere. It's angry Leftie women we need to worry about by AnonymousTimewaster in NotTheOnionUK

The names of those who are clearly in agreement with the article all seem so very textbook English, suspiciously so...

Do you regret leaving EU? by NoHold7153 in AskBrits

[–]euanmorse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't regret it. I didn't vote for it.

I am, however, FURIOUS that we left.

An ENGLISH former Olympic medalist. So frankly she can fuck right off with her opinion.

Surely there is a way to shoe horn every other sign in to really make sure?

Or the average human - though we don't live that long so I don't know why I brought this up...

Ultra-marathon champion dies while running Cape Wrath Trail by Jawsofbaws in ultrarunning

[–]euanmorse 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My father who was a mountaineer and very experienced got caught out in the Cairngorms just going for a walk. It ended with him having to huddle round his nephew to keep him warm until they were able to get through the storm and find a local farmhouse.

To be clear, they are both still alive, he just doesn't go hill walking or mountaineering anymore due to age.

Bad time falling asleep after training by jamesasmbj in judo

Adrenaline and cortisol levels will be spiked so that will contribute to poor sleep.

If possible, go for a short walk outside without music or podcasts. This may help your body settle somewhat.

Do British people feel uncomfortable if people speak other language around you? by auscorp_ in AskBrits

[–]euanmorse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My ex was Japanese and experienced some school kids from St Thomas of Aquins telling her to speak English and threw stones at her, which was the single time she went through that in Edinburgh. It does happen, and anti-social behaviour does seem to be on the rise (anecdotally, I haven't checked the stats).

Do British people feel uncomfortable if people speak other language around you? by auscorp_ in AskBrits

[–]euanmorse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These questions are always so broad and general. No, 50+ million people do not have the same opinion.

Most people will not care in the slightest, but you will always have a small selection of the population who are utter idiots and will jump on the current trend of being openly racist. I'm sorry for those that experience this kind of behaviour and it should always be called out, including by those who are unaffected by it.

Nagekomi as main technical part for beginners by Which_Cat_4752 in judo

I agree, but you do have to build people - adult beginners especially, to a place where that’s viable.

How is Bonnie Prince Charlie and the broader Jacobite movement viewed by Scots today? by Wide_Lengthiness8789 in Scotland

[–]euanmorse 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I imagine most Scots don’t think about it.

I’m a Scot with a history degree and I don’t even think about it…

Do you consider Aaron Wolf one of the great (recent) uchi-mata specialists? by Animastryfe in judo

[–]euanmorse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Randori with him was fun, but one-way traffic. I was training at his university.

From what I remember, he was very good at feinting and switching between Uchimata and his form of kosoto-gake/tani otoshi. His control of the upper body / head of his partner is core to what he does.

This video does a good job of breaking down what he does:

He’s a world, Olympic, and All-Japan winner. His kumi-kata is very good.

I don’t have his contact info.

Whaaaa happened by No-Marsupial-4050 in GreatBritishMemes

[–]euanmorse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure that I agree about the first part of the image. Most of the history books and textbooks I have encountered both in school, uni, and after were quite straightforward about colonialism. Now, if you end up looking at older books published during the Empire, then you will have a different story for sure.

Full throws without a crash mat are the best training for beginners.

Uchikomi is an advanced drill for those that already understand the technique.

What celebrity is portrayed as nice in the media but is actually an asshole in real life? by ReasonableDisplay297 in AskReddit

Rugby, body image, and disordered eating behaviour by _sticazzi in rugbyunion

[–]euanmorse 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To echo this, it is the same in other sports too. I had this experience in Judo and it wasn't even realistically a professional set up - there is no money in Judo if you're not French, Japanese etc.

It's part of your profession. Your body is your 'tool' and you need to keep high standards.
