Then you listen to: + Show Spoiler + and just...Yeah.. yeaaah! mmmhmmm...... And since WoS feels left out, I'm wondering, how are you doing as a parent with the whole raising a kid stuff? Like, did you read up on any of it, or get like broushuers from your interests in the vicinity or? Even though it'll be a while before I'll be a dad, I'm already scared. Edit:spoilers | ||

From last night but I'm currently waiting on the Peace Corps to finish putting my application through the medical office, which is taking a terribly long time. Hopefully I'll be volunteering early next year. | ||

I do Filipino Martial Arts. From what I've seen of Wing Chun it only seems applicable at very close range, standing up. But I'm no expert and I haven't studied Wing Chun in depth, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. In "real" fights, I believe it's just like sports in that the more athletic person will almost always have an advantage, and it's hard to offset that with skill and technique. Especially in fighting, where skill and technique have an extremely high learning curve. I've been practicing for 2 years and I still feel like an untrained person would be a major threat to me. | ||

these martial arts get -50% coolness for being 100% efficient though. You really want to beat them in a style, Taekwondo or Capoeira or something like that. | ||

If I play Pokemon Black first, should I play Black 2 after, or could I just as well play White 2? When going from BW to BW2, the colour doesn't matter so much. One thing to note though is that if you choose the different colours for BW and BW2 you actually end up catching the same feature legendary. (This is because of story reasons but I won't spoil it for you.) | ||

Edit:spoilers Haha it's ok honestly I don't mind being left out of these conversations---I talk about my kid way too much as is and not many people can relate. Mordek that's amazing! If you need any advice or have any questions feel free to PM me at any time. I got a lot of helpful advice from a TLer early on in my wife's pregnancy and it honestly really helped and I'd love to pay it forward somehow. | ||

Judo/Jiujutsu for fighting armored dudes Karate for fighting normal dudes Capoeira for fighting white dudes while also looking like a dance Muay Thai for fighting dudes when you don't have time to fuck around Savate for fighting sea dudes while on a boat Eskrima for fighting dudes when you have a few sticks on hand Taekwondo for a cool national sport and then Krav Maga for just killing dudes left and right not giving a crap and just maiming everyone who comes into your range none of those things are particularly useful but there you go, if you plan on doing any of these things you can pick the appropriate martial art | ||

I mean if I had to chose a martial art to practice how useful it would be in an actual fight would not even come into consideration. Pretty much this. Just picking it up as something to fill time, and I've always had some interest in it. The centerline structure behind it seemed pretty interesting. Sifu (master) Jin is currently coaching Tony Ferguson (winner of Ultimate Fighter 13), which is pretty cool. So take that as you will in terms of Wing Chun and some of its practicality in stand up fighting.

Whether it's for artful performance, actual combat, or sanctioned sport combat is a different story, but they're all valid reasons for practicing it, as long as you know what you're getting out of it. In terms of ease to pick up, boxing and wrestling are super effective in teaching a nooby in self defense. On August 20 2013 05:05 Osmoses wrote: Aikido if you feel strongly against hurting your opponent :p Aikido is the exact opposite of that. If you're sparring against someone who has no idea how aikido throws work, rather than following the wristlock into the throw, they'll just resist and break their wrist. Also, aikido is no joke, my friend tossed a dude twice her weight with an aikido throw. Was impressive. | ||
