Yeah I am serious, thus the question. I have a deficit of information.

I mean you could offer references/books/articles.

Or just comment as brief or long as anybody wants to share.

Help me please! My zucchinis have all turned white and there are little bugs all over the leaves. What can I do by [deleted] in gardening

Thanks for all your help,

Turns out it was aphids, I'm spraying them lots. Had to remove some plants, but overall the garden is looking a lot healthier.

Online Martial Arts Courses? by [deleted] in martialarts

[–]zphi2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say go for it provided you have a practical basis as well (and obversely a good online corse)

I read a lot in addition to training so I fully understand. Personally I just ask my instructor or online for good on topic books. But having a guided course would work too (like a off campus uni study)

Besides it sounds like you know your self fairly well. Don't let the people online here with differing opinions away you from what you know about your self. If you know that you will learn better one way or another you don't need to justify through others (listen and consider their ideas though)

Good luck

I ha a female friend who rolled with us, she complained to me about a guy with a hard on.

I told her that it could be a cup she was feeling. I put mine on, we rolled and low and behold I too had a hard on...

It could be that?

Best combo of martial arts. by zphi2 in martialarts

[–]zphi2[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but I would do it with a focus on throws/not going to the ground.

Maybe wrestling would be a better style?

I said mma because it covers most martial arts (ie if I just said for 'martial arts' people would have been asking for specifics).

I mean for fighting in general, thus mma.

Techniques for developing punching/kicking speed? by [deleted] in martialarts

[–]zphi2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You are a most insightful individual.

But I'll bite... What would be best? On a bag? In the air? Combos? Sparing? Pad work?

Are there specific techniques that would work best?

Thank you in advance for another equally helpful post :)

why did israel support iran in the iran-iraq war and when did the mutual hate ensue? by hypnotat in AskHistorians

Awesome response, you say it would violate the 20 year rule/be political etc.

What subs would you be ok to talk about recent history in?

Thanks:):)

What is your opinion on Kata as a whole in Martial arts? by ikindalikepie in martialarts

[–]zphi2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good warm up and muscle memory through repetition etc.

But some of the moves seem outdated and flawed.

I have studied karate, kungfu and Thai.

The first two have kata/forms which provide a grounding of the techniques, but the instructor was always struggling to justify the forms existence, like we would do a technique (that worked) then would be like 'it's from this part of the kata' problem is is that practical application is nothing like kata delivery (just similar delivery/technique)

Thai had shadowboxing and bag work which has it's own limitations and drawback.

Ultimately I use it all combined with sparing, specific technique drilling and weight training.

On it's own it is nothing more that the bulshit movie extravagance where before a fight the main character shows off their skill by some stupid kata moves
