I just want to say how much I appreciate you people here.
It's really nice to see people with memory and a sense of justice. All the time I'm seeing people just buying the propaganda. Then I come here. It's like a palate cleanser.
Bjj is good for sure. In my opinion you get too comfortable fighting on the ground though. 20 years ago there was a teenager that was pretty good and got in a fight. He took the main guy down and then got kicked to death. I'm sure there's another 100 anecdotes about a bjj guy that did the ass kicking, but that's the story that sticks in my head
I've had a lot of experience. I used to like to scrap a little consensually though. I'd end up with a fat lip and a lot of laughs.
Any striking art will be good. The better ones are boxing, muay Thai, and wing chun.
As far as grappling, you're going to be suggested bjj. That's a mistake. Bjj is really good at fighting one guy on the ground. You mentioned that you want it for self defense. If you're fighting someone on the ground what are the chances chuds friend is jumping in? What you really want is something that will give you good defense against takedowns. Wrestling and judo are good choices.
If I had to focus on one, I'd go muay Thai. If I wanted to go for fun, judo or boxing. Finding a few friends that want to throw each other around in a park, is a blast. Likewise, beating each other up in a gym is tons of fun too.
If you find a really good school, you'll realize how much a street fight is about luck, but you'll be in better shape, and at some point you'll start to feel like a shark. It's a cool feeling.
Good luck
I really wish there was some way to know how effective the last Israeli attack on Iran was.
I saw video that showed a lot of stuff getting shot down, but I never verified the video.
I'll never trust the IDF, but they claimed a wild success. I haven't heard much from iran except that a few soldiers may have died.
It's stupid to trust any one source, so I'm stuck in a weeks long curiosity
That's a very generous take. In my conversations I'm simplifying as much as possible because the root issues aren't complicated. Reconciliation is going to be incredibly complicated, but we're not there yet.
I'm asking people if genocide is bad. What's an appropriate response to genocide?
That's getting me really far. Either they out themselves as a ghoul or they start to put it together
I've got a similar situation. I've heard a couple of times 'its a complicated situation' WHAT'S COMPLICATED ABOUT STANDING AGAINST GENOCIDE????
I'm a little butt hurt about it
Takes the same amount of effort to draw, but the energy needed to hold and therefore aim is substantially less.
They normally refer to 'let off' in the specifications. 75% let off means that with a 100lb bow, once you get to a specific point in the draw, you're only holding 25lbs.
