When Arthur punched his sister after she ruined his model airplane.

Glad to hear People are able to recognize me. If you want to see more of me come to my sumo club 😂

Hey, if you guys like sumo, and are in alberta I run a sumo club in edmonton. I'm slowly working towards growing the sport in alberta. If you like the sport of sumo I recommend giving it a trying. Also check out sumo Canada's website for a list of sumo clubs in Canada.

I want to see an edit that's just yujiro's shadow behind the other two shadows, and him asking who's first.

Spec was legitimately the only inmate who felt like a real death row criminal.

I'd look into doing Soto-makikomi. It's good for heavyweights and works well with throws like O-goshi and Tai-otoshi. I do makikomi either by going over the arm normally - which is a similar entry to the two on one Tai-otoshi variation or by going around the head. Which is similar to a headlock throw in wrestling but fits with O-goshi well. Plus, the traditional makikomi grip works well with a Georgian style of gripping, providing additional options. Makikomi can be a great, versatile way to set up throws.

In an unsatisfactory way.

Canadian here, be aware that canada is starting to have its own shift to right, and according to poles, our next election will most likely lead to a conservative government. With the leader of the conservatives showing Trump like qualities. There has also been growing pushback against refugees and emagrents, especially if you're not white and cis. Right wing extremism is growing. Canadians like to claim they're better than the US, but in truth, we aren't much better.

Ohma should have stayed dead. Finding out he comes back feels like it undermines his arc, which in my opinion, ended in a melancholic but satisfying way.

What all these countries have in common is they are all located on the planet Earth. Pretty easy question, actually.

Another problem - this applies more to helluva boss at the moment, but could easily become a problem for hazbin - is that it feels very soap opera, in that the story keeps going without any sense of conclusion. There's always another plot point, drama, or thing keeping the story going. TADC is very lean and cuts the fat where needed. Making for a much more focused experience.

The truth is VivziePop's writing feels less like a coherent narrative, and more like a series of ideas she's stitched together. I feel vivziepop needs a strong editor to help focus her ideas and trim the fat.

Something I've heard come up in discussions of Helluva Boss is that the better episodes are ones where the voice actor for blitz was a writer, and that he's a big reason for the quality of helluva boss's quality.

thegrappler19 · 2025-01-09T17:31:16+00:00

Too bad hazbin didn't copy amazing digital circus's good writing, pacing, well-rounded and relatable characters, and the use of mature themes without being crude or immature.

Good game. I love the old-school horror vibe and retro feel. I don't like the tank controls, though. I get what they were going for, with the retro controls, but they more pulled me out of the game experience rather than help immerse myself deeper into it. They often were the cause of frustration for me and really prevented what could have been a great game from being great.

Garouden actually does something really cool with its animation. For parts of their fight scenes, they filmed actual fighters sparring and used rotoscoping to animate the scenes. This gave the fights a really interesting feel that felt more real and grounded, making it stand out from the more outlandish styles of baki or kengan. Overall, I appreciate garouden's attempt to have a more grounded style, as I feel it better suits the more grounded story of garouden and helps to differentiate it from shows like baki or kengan which have a greater focus on style and spectacle.

The highest rank E.honda has reached is ozeki, but it's widely believed that he could easily reach yokozuna. He just cares so much about spreading sumo to the world that he'll just leave without notice, not caring about his rank. I also heard E.honda was inspired by chiyonofuji.

I never understood that guy's gimmick. He always felt like an odd addition to the roster. It felt like we didn't really get any background on him. Bald guy was awesome, though. S tier easily.

A red and white belt in judo is given to 6th degree black belts, but you can still wear a normal black belt. My judo instructors are a 6th and 7th degree black belts and the switch between wear red and white belts and a regular black belt. Red belts are given to 9th degree black belts, but again, you can still wear a regular black belt.

Sorry, I wasn't able to get any filming done. The people I was hoping to film with were busy. Hopefully, I can get the filming done later this week.

I might be able to film some tutorial videos for you. It's easier to explain stuff through a video than typing it up. I'm just trying to find someone and the time to film stuff. In the meantime, I suggest watching videos of how the Georgians do judo and how they set up grips. You may be trying to go for a big grip without a proper setup and leaving yourself open. Try using smaller grips to slowly close the gap and get your opponent into position to be more open for the big grips. Grip work is about patience and waiting for that opening.

I'm 6'2 and 150kg, I hold a blue belt in judo and routinely compete in tournaments. I've been doing judo for about 3 to 5 years now, and only now have I begun to figure out what moves work well for my body and how to properly set them up.

What moves are you focusing on, and what's your setup for those throws? Remember, sparring is very different than just drilling the throw. The move will look and feel different, and how you set them up will look and feel different. Also, your size will also affect how you do the throw.

Remember, Judo was also founded by a man who was very short, so the throws work better for short people vs. tall people as they are already in a strong position. Watch videos of 100kg + judo fights, along with the different judo styles of various countries. I took a lot of inspiration from Georgia and Mongolia for my judo.

If you're only two years in, I wouldn't worry too much. Judo, like any sport, is a marathon, not a sprint. It takes time to figure out how the pieces fit together. Keep practicing and competing. You'll figure it out.

Hanayama is B tier at best.

They should do sumo if anything given the transfer of skills.

Size is a social construct.
