Napoleon's maxim is actually a post-rational selection effect. When the discussion is about 'we need good generals', you in turn inevitably get sophists who want to muddy the waters of 'what is a good general', since they aren't good, and turning the army (or any other organization) into a...

Also make sure you get them for both knees. Building back from an injury, and then a few months later injuring the other side too because you were over-favoring it is the all time classic.

Thanks op these esoteric techniques some people might not have seen before helped cure my toothache and ED and helped my stepdad find his way back home after going out to get the milk.

The utility of immutable ledgers via blockchain technologies becomes a lot more understandable when you point out the obvious: the presently incumbent washington ran SWIFT financial system is ran by people who hate you, hate your neighbors, hate your business, hate economic activity, hate...

The phrase 'the juice is not worth the squeeze' has a rather literal application here. You will burn your arms out before you could seriously threaten a fit man of equal or greater size, and of course his own arms are free to crossface or interfere with the hold in other ways, too. There *are*...

If he'd slipped up and Adesanya had KO'd him for it, that would be the last thing they'd try to say. Exact same moments done exact same way up to that point, but if different result in the end, totally different response. I know because this is exactly what happens every time a fighter gets...

First time seeing the site after a couple months away and this was quite a shock. Everything except the posts themselves is a lot bigger; order of emphasis out of priority with the ostensible primary purpose of a bulletin board system. Ultimately evocative of the designer's underlying spiritual...

The uniqueness of his existence is threatened by the existence of other persians. There Can Only Be One.

Thnks bb. I eyeballed that section for while and played with many different wordings while writing it, but no matter which one you start with you end up switching frames as you move through it anyways (eg, if in the second part I said 'angle of shoulder to elbow must be ahead' instead of...

Just 'cause one is wearing gloves doesn't mean one shouldn't be making a proper fist while paunching. Some guys will be hurting their hands all the time on account of not having that structure.

You're 'supposed' to hit with the shin, but realities of combat mean hits with the foot are more than common, because it is the longest moment arm, making contact at the edge of what fighters under pressure are judging to be their reach and or catching the opponent while they are pulling back.

It goes by a lot of names. Guys like Champ Thomas were teaching these things back in the 40s and 50s and called it the stonewall, too. Whether by spreading through networks or convergent evolution, if something works, you can start seeing it crop up all over the place.

The 'thing in itself' doesn't really matter to this kind of guy, all are simply vehicles of rationalization through which the primal motivation of partisan animus is expressed, the attainder of superior social status over neighbors. One could see the same thing in many of our other dearly...

Highly exaggerated movements of leverage blocking is a common feature of many modern CMA's, and it's not hard to understand why; two demonstrators slapping at each others limbs like they are crossing blades in a flurry of motion makes for highly photogenic displays, easily perceptible by...

The major problem is you engage in a rhetorical two-step here. It is certainly possible to make generalizations about things that are more or less common in a given tradition in a given time and place, but then you cut it back the other way by trying to then imply that nothing exists in a...

I keep reading 'Bradly Martyn' as 'Bradly Manning' and it gives me a funny mental image.

Which is funny because your hobbyhorse is an outlier. Saying things like "i've never seen muay thai that looks like this" only exposes your own lack of familiarity. In American folkstyle wrestling, is it better to attack a down opponent with chickenwing tilts, or crossbody rides, or even...

Leverage blocking in an upright stance ready to check with both legs; a classic muay thai style instantly recognizable by anyone familiar with the history and practice of muay thai, as one might expect from someone with training partners specializing in muay thai, such as Sean Strickland, whose...

No, what i'm telling you is something empirically demonstrable; boxing, as we understand it today, is both very old, and very popular. You, specifically, have not come up with any ideas that some other specific person has not also come up with and tried out. Not just theoretically, literally...
