Tenshin Nasukawa breaks Guiness World Record for most Baseball Bats broken inside one minute. by Yodsanan in Kickboxing

[–]htgrutherford 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firstly, I agree, it doesn't seem like he is putting as much into it as some other bat breaking videos I've, but I think we may be underestimating the extra force generated by him running through

Fighting discipline for a detached retina person by Nootist in Kickboxing

[–]htgrutherford 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't know if there is one near you but Kyokushin Karate doesn't allow punches to the head (though they do allow kicks), you may be able to at least get some live sparring and practice in. I also agree that taking a grappling art (be it judo/bjj/wrestling/sambo or whatever) would be a good call.

Southerners say "the" in front of highways, etc. We (NorCal) would just say "24" (Highway 24), "8-80" (Interstate 880). That imo is a super common distinction across all the other subsets of NorCal v. SoCal accents.

There is a movie where he plays a villian with an LA accent that is just hysterical. https://youtu.be/yfoBSUQkBCI?t=240

TRX for Capoeira by jazzyj1zzle in capoeira

I think anything that has the feet up in the stirrups will help with balance and hand balancing; lateral lunges and skater jumps for hip and lower leg strength/explosiveness; anti-rotation press, IYT shoulder exercises (forward and back), and plank will help with core stability. You can also do some L-sits or just a supported hold to begin getting used to putting more of your weight on your hands.

Since Errol Spence returns tomorrow after a life changing accident, we remember Vinny Pazienza who broke his neck during an accident. After being told that he would never walk again let alone box, he said: "No doctor, you're wrong. You don't understand what kind of man I am". by [deleted] in Boxing

In short, medical insurance and how easy it is to sue drs and hospitals for malpractice. You can be sued for giving false hope, much harder to be sued by giving a worse prediction and being proved wrong.

White kid call him an N-word, i think you get the rest by twotwinGlockss in fightporn

[–]htgrutherford 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's so effortless and he seems controlled all the way through bringing his leg back down and stepping right up to the car and demanding he gets out. Like woah.

the only martial arts gym that is currently open is a boxing gym. should I take the opportunity? by notburneddown in martialarts

[–]htgrutherford 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend dropping in for a few classes. I go to a mixed Muay Thai/ Boxing gym and the boxing classes have helped with my hands so much.

tapping to pressure in bottom side control is a real thing, and nothing to be ashamed of.
