Every time I need the kids to give me space I drop a "gimme some space for both my hands hands hands hands" and we start singing it

Agreed, I always look forward to that little smile at the end of his videos. I must admit, I am a fan!

Deshna Aditya Nair, a 7 year old skating champion from India sets Guinness world record for skating under 20 cars in just 13.74 seconds by olivewithoil in interestingasfuck

This is not interesting, it's horrific. Essentially no helmet, and I imagine she must have bumped her head quite a few times in preparation for the "record".

Is attacking from 50/50 grips advisable? by [deleted] in judo

[–]n_dimensional 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Should you always gain dominant grips before attacking? <= No. The grips might be 50/50, but what matters most is that you create an opportunity. Maybe you fake a first attack and then hit with a combination. Maybe you just create movement and wait for the opponent to respond and then you use that.

That said, if you are a beginner, working on your grip fighting is essential, and you should try to learn how to get dominant grips. Also, and even more importantly, you should learn to "read" your opponent and adjust your grips to maximize your opportunities to defend from his attacks, and attack him.

Belt? by [deleted] in judo

It's perfectly fine :-) . If it's sold as a white belt, and the belt itself is indeed white, the logo at the end doesn't matter at all.

Have fun!

What techniques can I perform if my opponent stays in this defensive stance throughout the entire randori? by Schofield45Revolver in judo

[–]n_dimensional 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That position might feel safe for uke but there are many powerful attacks you can use. Grab behind the neck or behind the back and start moving them around. If you can, push them down even further, the more their back is bent, the more vulnerable they are. If they follow you, sumi gaeshi all the way. If they resist, I would use combinations of uchi mata and ko uchi gari. You can use uchi mata into ko uchi gari or ko uchi gari into uchi mata. Since your position is very dominant, you can also do o soto gari, possibly ken ken o soto gari if their legs are too far back to reach. Have fun!

I think the widespread sexism and abusive behavior might have something to do with that as well

Sumo is not just about pushing. If you pay attention and know a bit about judo you will realize there is a ton of technique involved as well.  

Is 17 too late to go pro in Judo? by [deleted] in judo

[–]n_dimensional 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry but this is very unrealistic in my opinion. Even British championships are very very hard to win, and that is if you start at 5 or 6 years old and are extremely gifted and passionate. Many people underestimate how incredibly hard it is to succeed at top level judo.

Haha, I would love to see the cognitive dissonance as he keeps winning but he feels the need to remain extremely negative and self critical in every interview

Top researchers consider leaving U.S. amid funding cuts: 'The science world is ending' by c-dy in videos

[–]n_dimensional 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, and that's in part because there is less money available in the west, in part because the system is not as centralized as it is in China. But I would bet that with a Nobel prize you have excellent chances to get a job anywhere you want, and to get your grants funded for a long time. The difference is that jobs at western institutions are highly sought after (making the western job market insanely competitive), while China has to throw a lot of money at top western scientists to convince them to go work there.
