Hello. I’m a Japanese Redditor.

In my country, police officers are required to study three martial arts at the police academy: judo, kendo, and a martial art unique to the Japanese police known as “Taiho jutsu(arrest techniques).” Additionally, a large percentage of police officers have been practicing judo or kendo since their school days.

Unlike karate, judo is a martial art that involves throwing and pinning opponents rather than punching and kicking, so it seems to be considered a good fit for police work.

It also appears to serve the purpose of helping participants acquire the physical strength needed to subdue an assailant and learn the basics of self-defense, as well as cultivating mental resilience through rigorous training.

Kendo has traditionally been popular for several reasons: “It is practiced to develop the physical strength, technical skills, and mental fortitude necessary to subdue violent criminals. It has a historical background dating back to the Meiji era, when Toshiyoshi Kawaji, the first Chief of Police, introduced it for the purpose of physical and mental training and maintaining public order.” Additionally, the “maai” (distance) and situational judgment cultivated through kendo are useful in police work and aid in the handling of batons.

When it comes to martial arts in the U.S., we tend to think of wrestling, boxing, and, more recently, MMA. Do American police officers also practice wrestling or MMA at the police academy?

Hello, I’m a Japanese Reddit user.

In Japan, one of the common warnings you see in guidebooks when traveling to the U.S. in the summer is: “In regions of the U.S. with intense summer heat (the West, Southwest, and South), the air conditioning is very strong, so it’s a good idea to bring a light jacket.”

I’ve traveled to the U.S. in the summer about twice myself, and I do recall that the air conditioning seemed quite strong.

So, I’m curious: what temperature do you currently have your air conditioner set to?

I currently have mine set to 23°C (73.4°F). By this country’s standards, that’s on the lower side.

In my country, it’s common to set it to 25–28°C (77–82.4°F).

EDIT: Thank you, everyone!
I never imagined so many people would respond!

There was a scene where Uso Ewin said something like "If you want to play mother, please give birth to your own child and do it!" to Lupe Cineau. I want know how it was translated in official English subtitle.
