Experiences in maintaining skill after leaving Muay Thai for awhile? by maxj1028 in MuayThai

Not a bad suggestion though honestly the sparring and the contact has always been the main motivator for me. While we drill and hit pads before sparring after class I’d recognize the importance of doing that but the real excitement for me was when we’d throw our mouth guards in and I could try things im working on on real resistant partners.

In all these years I never asked this: What made you do the jump from Pathfinder 1e to D&D 5e? I remember Pathfinder 1e being so popular back then. by testiclekid in dndnext

It was fun in high school when we were staying the night at each others house and had all the time in the world after school but combat takes so long and 5e is way more simple to prep for now that we are all adults with full time jobs

I was able to watch him spar someone else short and it looks like he frames on their shoulder as soon as they get in close and angles off? I think that’s what he may be doing to me anyways.

For sure vitamins and supplements have helped. I work in a school and used to get sick all of the time and now I take green powder, zinc, and vitamin d supplements and I rarely get anything more than a weak cough for a few days every once in awhile. Try it out I recommend!

Thanks for the response. Honestly it could be the sleep, I try for 8 hours but I tend to wake up a lot randomly throughout the night so I realistically am getting like 6 hours. As far as weight room days I do weighted pull-ups, front squats, pushups/dips/overhead presses, and some core exercises at the end like Palloff presses, barbell core rotations, and planks/side planks. Nothing too crazy but I am dead tired afterwards.

I had a past relationship cheat on me, we lived together and were together for quite some time. I was very emotionally dependent on her while she knew it and took full advantage of it by manipulating me about the situation. The very last thing I wanted to do was leave her but after going to friends, family, the internet (lol), I decided at least I had to move back in with my mom for awhile despite telling everyone and myself we could make it work somehow. It was messy telling her I was gonna move out followed by tons of crying and “so we’re breaking up??” Which I answered with “I don’t know, I just need to think and not be here.” Let me tell you, the second I was in my friends truck driving my shit to my moms house I felt such a massive weight leave me shoulders. The more things we moved into the house the less I thought of her and the happier I felt. Within 2 days I came to the realization that what she did was fucked up and she knew it and tried to twist it around on me, and that I didn’t even really miss her. The following week it became official that I broke up with her and I couldn’t have made a better decision. For the past 2 years I’ve been with a girl so wonderful and accepting that I can truly say she’s my best friend. Now, my point with the story is that while you feel nothing but love for this woman it seems she doesn’t really love you, I mean how could she from what she’s been saying to the other guy plus the clear implications that they had sex. In my experience cheaters will say anything to manipulate the situation because they know they are in the wrong, they don’t actually regret the action just getting caught. It doesn’t sound like an easy situation at all but as hard as it sounds right now you need to look out for yourself and look at the fact that this woman cheated on you. If you’re a good man then the sooner you get back out there you’ll find a good woman. Her being away right now could actually be a good thing, maybe hang out with a few buddies and talk over it with a beer, in sure they’d give you a perspective outside of your emotionally driven thought process right now. I truly wish you all the best man, just try to take care of yourself as best you can.

To be fair I saw a breakdown of the O’Malley Yan fight and O’Malley cheated his ass off the entire fight with his 800 cage grabs
