I did Krav, Jiu-Jitsu and Muy Thai for a while. The biggest take away for me was the confidence boost, knowing with 100% certainty what I and my body can do.
I looked great too, but that was secondary
Buuuuut on the downside, I broke my collarbone and tore a muscle in my shoulder and it’s never been quite right since. Take Krav seriously
To clarify are you implying people not capitalizing pronouns when interacting with you makes you feel suicidal?
Corrected.
I’ve been straightforward but not hostile. There is a line where absurdity does not need to be accepted as it devalues real discrimination experienced. When someone literally thinks they’re a god, and expects people to shift how capitalization of all things works to tend to them, that needs to be pointed out as ridiculous. They are not experiencing the discrimination that trans users do.
Judging by the upvotes in this thread I’d say most users agree.
This is DroneRights third or fourth alt. They’re now accusing me of being an “alt right troll” which is rich.
This is an alt of the user in question, doing exactly what I’m talking about
You’re not a goddess, you’re a human. I wouldn’t at all be surprised if you were the same user as DroneRights.
Because their opinions are being weaponized to accuse anyone who doesn’t conform to exactly how they wish to be addressed as being bigoted.
This is the same type of rhetoric that DroneRights(now exocrinous after evading multiple bans), used, another narcissist. I think it’s extremely important to differentiate this kind of thing from genuine issues.
Hold up, goddessgender?
Oh fuck this is the Swarmgender guy all over again isn’t it
Your delusion doesn’t get to influence what part of a sentence I capitalize. This 100% feels like a narcissist co-opting LGBT issues to force a power dynamic in conversations that lets them play the victim at the slightest mistake.
Judging by your comment history-which I don’t even have to check because you’ve been posting about this for days-that’s exactly what I see happening.
Bi man in a hetero relationship, I feel “pushed out” of the community a lot of the time
Bluffing as in saying you’ve had training? That’s a bad idea.
A huge portion of martial arts is learning how not to use martial arts. De-escalating, removing yourself from the situation, choosing your battles. If you feel the need to bluff you’re almost always better off just walking away.
One of the big lessons in Krav is that every confrontation is deadly. Not could be. Not might be. Is. In the real world it can only take one lucky punch to kill someone, even if the person throwing that punch is completely untrained. Every opponent on the street is armed, dangerous, and actively trying to kill you if you’re being attacked- that’s the mentality
You avoid fighting in every capacity possible, it’s an absolute worst case scenario. But if you have to fight? You be incredibly violent, dirty, and lethal. You aim to maim your opponent and get to safety- because assholes that start fights tend to run in packs. From that perspective them thinking that you’re untrained in an advantage because they won’t expect it.
Tl;Dr, I would rather bluff that I can’t fight than let them know I can
To answer your second question, yes it’s worth it for everyone to learn some degree of self defense skills, if only for the physical benefits
