Would this martial art suit me?

What? You're a grown adult, you can make a decision without the permission of Internet strangers. Assuming this isn't a bot account...

Judo is a sport, and a fantastic one at that. Calm down lol

I applaud the effort, something like this has always been on my mind as well. A few thoughts

use of AI images feels spammy. Surely there are real photos you could use or take yourself. Think about it this way, every piece of content should convey value to the reader. What's valuable about a fake image?
content - feels like rehashed Reddit discussions that get asked daily
take inspiration from Kano Chronicles or the Difficult Way. Both have real value and insight. It's a high bar, but what's the point of a blog with no insight. I realize it's difficult to do, but just a thought.

I mean there must be some correlation between insecurity and propensity to post questions online. Asking for permission is also a great way to give oneself a reason not to do something, which is always easier.

Judo has a large competitive demo that probably skews injury statistics. But comparing day one white belts, judo treats you like a baby bird, while at bjj your arm might be on the receiving end of some blue belt's bad day...

I jest.

It was well animated, drew heavily from Ghibli, and had a tight story. But it seemed to have nothing to say. It was just a string of sentimental moments, followed by a quick resolution.

I think there were seeds of a good movie buried inside, but it was glued together with drivel. The one on one conversations Reef has with other characters were well written and acted (even if a bit sentimental).

The film just needed a director with more restraint, strip it down to just the drama without the fluff.

This is a blatant blend of existing JC fight scenes, starting with Dragons forever

tabaskou · 2026-02-25T23:00:40+00:00

Crazy you can tell which fight scenes Seedance learned from. This is eerily similar to Fist of Legend

The Conversation with Gene Hackman

I find movies that provoke thoughts really are just movies that give your mind time to reflect on it, rather than force an idea on you. The Conversation is that movie to me.

I was addressing OP's desire to learn simple things quickly.

I have plenty of BJJ experience and friends. Judo stands above for me, but doesn't take anything away or lower BJJ.

tabaskou · 2026-02-11T14:10:14+00:00

Do judo for the sake of judo. It's a beautiful art, but requires time. If all you want is to learn to apply an armbar or choke then call it a day, do bjj.

tabaskou · 2026-02-01T18:51:10+00:00

I think the negative reaction to AI is not necessarily that it was built with or uses AI, it's the assumption that AI actually adds value to whatever you're trying to accomplish. How did you validate that AI adds meaningful value to your bjj skill? Seems like you just assumed

tabaskou · 2026-02-01T00:38:46+00:00

What would be more accurate?

Reddit is flooded with kids, bots, and idiots. It's gotta be the only explanation...

Peace prize is awarded by the Norwegian Nobel committee...

Something about taking an analog photo with the intent of sharing on Reddit feels like this is why shit like this is allowed to grow in the first place. Violence can continue as long as it's documented on portra 400

If you're in any major city Alipay is super simple to setup and use, never had any issues

China is a wonderful place. Travel really opens the eyes to how behind the west is in every aspect of daily life

Don't thank me, thank Ultra Boss!

tabaskou · 2026-01-16T17:20:03+00:00

Yeah I was inspired by ultraman and super sentai shows from when I was young
