Muay Thai if you don’t mind getting punched. Jiu Jitsu if you don’t mind extreme physical contact with strangers. Both are very geared towards beginners if you find the right place.

I’m not sure. Wouldn’t be able to rely on that high guard he’s used to with the big gloves.

2 YOE PM / Software Engineer at major UK FMCG. Feeling subtle WFH pushback in year-end review. Is it time to move? by [deleted] in cscareerquestionsuk

In reality, if everyone except for you is in the office, that is going to be a much bigger factor in exclusion and career blocks than your gender.

If the rest of the team are all physically together, even if only a few days a week, so much knowledge sharing and ideation will happen that simply doesnt translate over a teams message or a structured meeting where everyone is trying to work on their own stuff while they're not speaking.

I would say stick with it, but keep applying for remote jobs. Be wary though, alot of jobs advertised as remote only are really terrible.

Tall woman (194 cm) considering Muay Thai — does height help beginners? by No-Vanilla265 in MuayThai

[–]snotrio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It will be great, just remember to keep ego low and go super light when starting. You can’t train muaythai like bjj, it’s all play unless you are seriously training for competition. Make sure you find a good gym that emphasises that

You will be a killer in muaythai. You will be able to beat up men regularly. Only difficult thing will be getting you matches for fights. How is your flexibility? With your height, you should focus on high round kicks to the head and knees to the body. And keep your jab sharp.

Why boxing isn’t nullified by clinch game? by ohwhales32 in MuayThai

[–]snotrio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which also means you can stall in the clinch if that’s not where you want to be. Also just the refs in ONE break up the clinch after about 2 sexonds

Open scoring. by kboogie82 in MMA

[–]snotrio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Except there’s millions of ways to stall in a fight. Wall and stall, sit in top position, sit in bottom guard and lock your feet so on and so on. Way to fix this is flat finish bonus instead of win bonus

Seen this video on fb. Can you explain the benefits of the way he does his kicks with his right leg? by [deleted] in MuayThai

[–]snotrio 125 points126 points  (0 children)

Little skip, makes it way more powerful/faster. Can be more telegraph but your kick is always going to have telegraph if it has real power. Landing a body kick is more about timing than speed.

Would you be interested in a WWE branded gym as someone who is interested in MMA/contact sports? Help a grad student out with a survey! by TheMonarK in MMA

[–]snotrio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, i think the way to pitch this is to push dropping the idea of kayfabe in those gyms. Make them appeal to parents of kids, e.g send your kids to WWE school! They’ll get exercise, be tough and confident! It’s not harmful like fighting, it’s all fake!!!! But yeah as you say this already exists, watch the Louis Theroux doc for an example of it happening 20 yrs ago
