What would you choose? Anything goes.

EDIT: You still have your other limbs; you just can't use them.

This was originally supposed to be a shitpost, but now, it's a serious question:

Wouldn't focusing on only kicks be the most effective way to become a good fighter?

Who would win in a fight: a kick-only fighter or a punch-only fighter?

All judokas know of the horrible ways a kani basami could go wrong, but why is this takedown so common in capoeira?

Also, does anyone here combine judo and capoeira?

My main art is judo. I'd rather not rely on shooting double legs or guard pulling.

To a lesser extent, I've also trained BJJ, Sumo, and Muay Thai.

I want to train getting into grappling range for:

- dicking around and sparring MMA/striker friends of mine

- possible self defense

Some options I've considered:

- learning hand trapping

- boxing (but the bladed stance feels weird)

- training more MT or maybe taking up kyokushin

- "shelling up" Keysi style

- capoeira? (this is just another art I've been interested in trying)

EDIT: I'm wondering if training another art is even necessary. I'd rather not if I don't have to.
If "shelling up" and rushing into a clinch is a valid option, I'd rather go for that.

recordandoles que en cuba no hay libertad de expresion.

When a leftist claims we are lying about the authoritarian regime castrista, show them this

dense cuenta que ninunos de los que estan al favor del regimen dominan bien el español.

This is racism. How are these gringos, who probably just recently arrived to Miami, going to protest against our people?

Notice that none of them speak Spanish well yet everyone on the side that wants to have the Cuban government overthrown is a native Spanish speaker.

Hands down. Not even close.

Reasons:

1. You can't see us; we can see you. You can't hit what you can't see ;)

2. We have weapons. You guys only wear tight shorts

3. Ninja outfits were created to make us harder to dox online

4. We can make you involuntarily shit your pants before the fight starts

5. There's no movies or video games about MMA guys going on an adventure. There's no "MMA Gaiden"

6. MMA isn't even real. It's just stolen from other martial arts

I consider you all somewhat of my extended family. This goes for any time I hear a Cuban accent in public.

This question is for leftist or left-leaning Cubans and is not in any way a challenge or criticism. Please, let's be civil and loving.

I feel that many of us, especially in the US, have to live between two worlds: knowing que hijo de puta fue Fidel, but also, maybe not agreeing 100% with the Republican Party, which seems to be the political group which has most supported us.

I believe in, for example, banning factory farms, having more environmental regulations, and better social programs, but every time I go to a community where these things are preached, I am apprehensive of meeting some pro-Fidel or pro-Chavez/Maduro person.

EDIT: This post is aimed at Cubans or people with at least one Cuban parent who also considers themselves left-leaning (while, hopefully, not supporting the Cuban regime.)

I voted for Jill at least once. I'm also a vegan, environmentalist, believe factory farms should be banned and that we should re-enter the Paris Climate Agreement. I've done lots of environmentalist and pro-immigrant work throughout my life.

I thought the focus of the Green Party was supposed to be environmentalism and fighting any economic systems that hurt the environment (and I presume, animals.)

Why do Green Party candidates admire Fidel Castro? As a person with a Cuban parent and family that still lives in Cuba, this hurt.

We shouldn't praise just anyone who claims they are a leftist. We shouldn't "admire" the greedy and violent.

I imagine it is generally pro-life, but I am asking to be sure.

It seems to me that Jainism is the religion that takes ahimsa most seriously.

On another note, is veganism common in Jainism? I have read that some Jains consume milk. Thank you.

I originally wanted a Polyend Tracker, but there's too many reports of it being buggy.

The M8 is pricy.

Is the Picotracker buggy? Any other key points anyone wants to make about it? I'm coming from Renoise.

I'm trying to transition into living without a computer because I have no self control and I keep wasting time on it. I understand that the M8 and the Polyend Tracker Are the main devices in this market . Which one would you say is closest to our beloved favorite DAW?

Honestly, out of every religion, I believe that Islam is the one that takes the commandment about not having false idols the most serious.

I know of no other religion that avoids Idloltry to the extent that Islam does.

The second greatest lesson I have learned from your religion is that of submission to God - so thank you.

I am not sure what to do. I've never been through this. These are my notes from what the vet told me after bloodwork and x-rays. Sorry they are all over the place.

He is a 13 year old schnauzer yorky mix

chronic renal insufficiencies, anemia

x-rays: major concern (according to vet): missing pieces of mandible and maxula (upper jaw), believes surgeons would have a hard time piecing him back together, fractured teeth, says maxula seems almost detached from hard palette on right side, vet says major dental extractions would be needed to prevent infection, believes surgery would be complicated. my dog is about 13 years old. schnauzer yorky mix. vet fears there'll be not enough bony structure for surgery. shes afraid he may not be able to eat. concerned he may need a feeding tube for 6 weeks. no skull fractured. frontal sinus looks okay. front half of both jaws are liddick. believes surgery would be challenging for surgeon

vet says that surgeon will most likely need to drill holes in front half of upper jaw and put tubes through nostrils. dental disease will most likely create fistula problems which could lead to infect

I know very little about Jainism.

What is the belief of when one eats something that was alive (ex. tofu)? Did the soybeans/tofu have a jiva? If so, does its jiva merge with ours?

Thank you.

I'm sure I'm not the first to have come up with this, but I recently realized it.

Food becomes us, including our brains. Meaning: what we eat becomes conscious.

In my opinion, this is a good reason to be vegan as to not consume suffering, but also, it proves non-duality.

Today, I started seeing my food as "future me".
