    Stance problem

    I had the same but opposite issue. Left handed and right footed. My trainer said that kicking is everything in Muay Thai so the leg dictates the stance. So I fight regular stance and it feels completely natural now but I’m kinda annoyed I gave up the natural advantage of having a southpaw...

    I'm a CO on Riker's Island, AMA

    Have you seen the documentary ‘Time: The Kalief Browder Story’ and if so what are your thoughts on his time in Rikers? Ie the way he was treated by guards but also his general experience, was it standard etc Also, based on your experience, how do you feel about how prisons are run? like...

    How good was Apidej Sit Hirun?

    I feel I almost never see his name thrown up alongside Samart, Dieselnoi, Saenchai etc but maybe that’s cos he fought too long ago? I’m not going to pretend to know enough to say exactly where he sits but it’s just something I’ve noticed. When people throw out their all time lists or spout off...

    Will you be an organ donor?

    The real question is why wouldn’t you? What do you need your liver/kidney etc for after you die? And you could save someone’s life. Seems like a no brainer to me (get it?). In fact, I’ll go as far as to say you have to be pretty selfish to want to keep your organs after you die, when you know...

    Elections Challenger to Elizabeth Warren's Senate seat uses sign calling her "fake Indian"

    I’m Aussie but I didn’t realize people didn’t like Warren. All I’ve ever really seen her do is try and hold corporations and financial institutions to count for corruption etc. Would think whichever side of politics you were on that’s a good thing.

    bar fights

    Plenty of people who are trained lose all the training as soon as that adrenaline starts. Not only the ability to throw a punch, but any awareness of space and distance too. How many guys have you seen who train regularly, then get in a scrap on the weekend and the first thing they do is get...

    Which celebrity death made you saddest?

    Robin Williams I think. I was waiting for a night bus and just killing time on my phone and ended up down a rabbit hole, probably in reddit, of robin Williams quotes and gifs and what not. Good Will Hunting and Hook are two of my all time favourites, but also Jumanji, Aladdin, Mrs Doubtfire...

    Muay Thai vs BJJ Self Defense

    It really depends what you’re after. Boxing/Muay Thai combined with bjj/wrestling is going to be great for learning how to fight. But you don’t want to be holding anyone down if someone starts on you when you are out, cos no one goes out without mates and if you’re on the ground you can bet...

    Calisthenics

    Yeah I’m seeing the physio for the first time post surgery on Monday and I’ll be seeing him regularly until he gives me the all clear. I’m not a hero so I’ll be doing everything I’m told haha. No room for egos here. I’ll just go slow with everything and see how it feels. The hope now is no...

    Calisthenics

    Yeah I’m probably a while away from being able to actually start training, especially anything fancy like handstand push-ups and pull ups. While I’m out injured though I’m just trying to put my time to good use by broadening my knowledge and getting some new training ideas. Awesome, cheers...

    All meat-diet promoting Dr. from JRE posts blood test; xtreme low-T, virtually diabetic

    Why is there so much hate in this topic? And people cry about vegans being preached but fmd meat eaters always feel the need to attack vegans too. Here’s a tip, no one has ever changed their mind after being attacked and belittled.

    Calisthenics

    Does anyone on here have any experience with Calisthenics? I’ve been looking at it a bit on YouTube and it’s looks great for what I’m after, strength, size, athleticism, mobility and functionality. Plus it can be done almost anywhere which is great as I’m planning on doing some travelling soon...

    Sam Harris and Ezra Klein podcast (Race/IQ, ID politics, Political Correctness)

    I haven’t listened to this particular podcast but I like Sam Harris and am a big fan of his. I think he’s a great voice to have on the left as someone who is a voice of reason and logic. From what I knew before this podcast though I would have been shocked if he had of been able to reason with...

    James Cameron making new documentary on Vegan Athletes; 'Game Changers'

    I agree with that. I cut out meat over a year ago, after about four years of things like “only seafood” or “weekday vegetarian” and I cop so much from meat eaters who want to let me know how much they love meat, or how delicious it is etc. I don’t give a fuck. I don’t preach about factory...

    James Cameron making new documentary on Vegan Athletes; 'Game Changers'

    Ok I had a look and I don’t have the time nor the inclination to spend the next four hours reading but you’re doing the same thing old mate did to you and using an unhealthy vegan diet as a basis for all diets. Hair loss was related to iron (leafy greens, lentils), proteins (beans, chickpeas...

    Run more and do less or run less and do more.

    There wouldn’t be a pro fighter in the world that doesn’t run. Try just getting for 2-3 runs a week and try and run for 20-30 mins. It’s a great way to build a great aerobic foundation. I would do a mixture of sprints and steady state. But always try and hit 20 mins. I used to do about s 25...

    James Cameron making new documentary on Vegan Athletes; 'Game Changers'

    You’re making these claims not me. I could find almost anything on google. There’s probably an article somewhere saying to eat nothing but raw panda meat. I’m interested in having a genuine discussion. Yes I’m vegan/vegetarian but not for health reasons. So I don’t have an agenda to push in...

    When did it become fashionable to have mental “illness”?

    Johann Hari has written a book about it, but it’s things like over medication, change in lifestyle, social media (people have less genuine connections now), workplaces, diet. There’s a range of factors that have changed over the last 50 odd years. For example, 20-30 years ago there was a...

    James Cameron making new documentary on Vegan Athletes; 'Game Changers'

    Again, proof? I’ve never seen something that says a vegan diet leads to sterility and hair loss.
