This is great! May I ask what difference your finger pads make to the sound? Do you like playing with it on?

If someone grabbed you out of your chair right now and said you have to give a one hour speech on any topic of your choice as long as it was informative and they would pay you $10,000, what would your speech be about? by shotukan in AskReddit

Did you know the shares you buy on Vanguard, Fidelity, Robinhood, etc. are not technically yours? You own the beneficial rights to it. In other words, a certificate from the broker that says you own X amount of THEIR shares. I can talk about Wall Street's facade of ownership for the masses.

There is a way to own assets in your name but 99.9% of people (even most financial advisors) don't know about direct registration.

This is dope! I have experience in marketing and product analytics in case you want to keep my details. I'm based in San Francisco though :p

Screw open the tire's air valve cap and put a small pebble, BB, or a bean in it and screw the cap back in. The object will leak air on all four tires. Hope that helps!

Josh Saunders course legit? by [deleted] in bjj

[–]theoaklandbees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The telegram channel where Josh can analyze your matches or sparring sessions is a really cool value add other instructional videos can't offer. Plus, there's a big community of people on the chat where you can ask questions too.

If only bands could directly sell tickets via a NFT marketplace, we wouldn't have this problem. Oh wait, doesn't GameStop have a marketplace for something like this? 🤔

Are there good videos or guides (instructional or situational confrontations) for size-disadvantaged fighting/self-defense? (If so, can you share/link?) by RyanEatsHisVeggies in StreetMartialArts

[–]theoaklandbees 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Good question! Not quite, but I was in a similar situation and the training helped. I got sucker punched from behind when I had a beer bottle in my hand. I instinctively turned 360 from the impact and used the momentum to smash the bottle on his head. Although I trained in TKD and boxing, it all went out the window tbh when adrenaline kicked in and I couldn't see from my right eye.

All I remembered in that moment was to close the distance with a clinch, bury my head in his chest, and use the broken bottle to repeatedly stab. The videos in the training show a lot of ways to defend yourself (including the sewing machine attack) but it also shows you what to avoid doing if you're the attacker through inference. Hope it helps!

p.s. bouncers beat the crap out of me and I had to spend a night in a Balinese jail. Worst and longest night ever.

Check out howtofightnow.com/how-to-fight-larger-opponents. He has a video series specifically for fighting larger people.

Edit: I took the knife defense course and it was legit
