This is precisely what I get paid to do. I can't count the times I have had to control a mentally ill or mentally well (but violent) patient. I do use violence. Restraining someone (no matter how nicely you do it) is a violent act.

"Violence is the gold standard, the reserve that guarantees order. In actuality, it is better than a gold standard, because violence has universal value. Violence transcends the quirks of philosophy, religion, and culture. (...) It's time to quit worrying and learn to love the battle axe. history teaches us that if we don't someone else will." Jack Donovan

I have an idea of what my future mobility looks like. I figure if I practice with some sensory deprivation I might help out later on.

I don't know if they suffer more injury/damage. Just different. Certainly forcing joints can lead to injury, but they are not getting struck in the head like a boxer.

As much as I know I am not normal, I would say I am normal.

It will be interesting to see what Aikido becomes after 10 years of popularity in Russia.

I try to practice them with my eyes closed. It is a good way to focus.

I have a couple under armor loose fit t-shirts and a couple spandex shorts that will fit a cup. They get washed after 1 use and I have not noticed a problem.

I love cargo pants. I have not carried my wallet in my back pocket for years. It just hurt when I sat. I have been looking for pants as well, then thought Carhartt. They fit in well in the area I live in without looking too tactical or sreaming Police like 5.11 pants. They are durable and come in different weights for different seasons.

Thank you. I am just a normal guy trying to live his life.

While I did enjoy Iron Fist, I loved Daredevil. IMHO it is the best of the Marvel Netflix shows.

I enjoyed it as well

In my school I hear "ice" a lot. Mine is more of a "huh" or "hi". My daughter will hiss like a cat when we practice at home.

That is what is in the 3-in-1 that I use for cleaning sometimes. But it is more expensive than Vaseline and so far, at least, the Vaseline is working well. I was just thinking it would be less messy.

Try a silicone based spray.

I don't disrespect my fellow MAist. I may have a natural distrust for big organizations, but that is the libertarian inside me. But, not the individuals involved until they earn distrust.

I only saw the first few minutes. It is a tv series about the life of Bruce Lee in Chinese so it has subtitles

I think you just came up with the next evolution of Bacon. Bacon^2. Did you know that pigs do not make love, they make bacon!I thought Bacon and Love were the same thing.

I just came across The Legend of Bruce Lee on Netflix if anyone is interested.

A good bone crunching feels soooooooo good.

I think you just came up with the next evolution of Bacon. Bacon^2.

Many academies include Verbal Judo and you are expected to pass, but the difficulty level is not the same as for something like firearms, or EVOC. Similar principles can be found in the Mental Health portions of training which more academies are including either as part of the basic course or follow-up training.

So the "meow" scene in Super Troopers was training not having fun at the motorist's expense.

My marketing, and economics study gives some insight. Early innovators such as examined by von Hippel in "Democratizing Innovation" uses mountain bikers as an example. The extreme athletes develop a product to give a competitive advantage, such as new pedal or frame technology for private use. One or a group then sells the product to the next level down users who are willing to pay for the competitive advantage but not create it. This lowers the cost of production through scaling for more people to have access to it. Advanced performance knowledge can be considers the same. The pro athletes started using dynamic stretching due to studies indicating a lower risk of injury. They have a distinct monetary advantage to fewer injuries and the resources to fund such studies. The information is passed to non-pro but passionate athletes and filters down from there. Speaking of old school stuff... Did older generations of MA students have to do knuckle pushups on bare concrete? Or is that the MA equivalent of walking 5 miles to school up hill both ways? I actually agree with using old school training techniques. They were developed over centuries by hundreds of thousands if not millions of people even though modern scientific studies did not exist. For instance, I see chi/ki energy as a non-scientific explanation of the use of core strength. Plus, the old methods sucked in a great manner. The suck built mental toughness rather than the clinical application of scientific research in a gym on shiny equipment. Navy SEAL recruits spend enormous amounts of time in cold water to not only improve swimming ability (which can be done in a nice warm pool), but to build surf zone comfort and mental toughness. The mental conditioning improves athletic performance and reduces the number of and severeness of PTSD. Cold water in short shorts SUCKS.

I get those. Thanks for the video.
