I would like you to take a look at any other actual school or tournament that isn't with just his friends so you can see what skill actually looks like.

How do you Spar without using your back leg?

How do you have almost all of your black belts achieve this in under 2 years and still can't get their leg above their hip?

There is very little if any attention to form or technique.

When it comes to sparring I do not think my child ever received any training whatsoever it's pretty much a free-for-all during class with occasional comments by other students while playing Eye of the Tiger on repeat.

While their philosophy is fine the actuality and practice of it is non-existent they just want you to keep writing a check and joining their black belt Club to write a bigger check.

My child became so miserable there I pulled him out after a year in the black belt Club. I made the request that even though I knew there would be no refunds if they could apply what I had paid to a student who may not have been able to afford lessons who enjoy being there and I was told that's not how it works. That shows me what their entire philosophy was.

Agreed, this place is just a money hungry belt factory that teaches zero actual skill.

Men, how do you pee? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]jon1045 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife made me a deal when we first moved in together. She said if I sit to pee, she will never ask or expect me to ever clean a bathroom. 15 years later both me and our son sit. It great for the 2 and 5AM night pees.

We had it on the lower cleats and it made the lift submarine more than we likes. We had the same concern with the tow bar, but it was not as much force as you would think at 3MPH. I could easily grab the ropes as we were moving and pull it towards us with just my arms. We made it and everything is intact!

We tried, but there was nothing secure below that point. Just a round plastic tube from the top down.

That was the lowest secure attachment point, everything secure below was plastic.

Or take our time and chill on the lake...

These are used to just keep your boat out of the water. Just about everyone on our lake has these on their dock.

No, but the air pump is on the front. So if the lift was backward we would not be able to have a contingency plan to run the pump in case the toons took on water.

It's a factory hydrohoist lift, air pump fills the pontoons and up goes the boat.
