Hocus pocus finger wigglers stand no chance against the Gentle Way…

Came across this channel that posts some really humorous videos about applying Judo in unusual situations. In one video he applied Judo moves in an armored MMA match. Best damn thing I’ve come across!!!

Which Indian Sword do you think would be most suitable/effective in modern HEMA tournaments?

The Indian subcontinent is incredibly diverse in terms of culture, geography and society. Thus, we find an equally diverse range of weapons in India adapted to suit their own respective environments and battle conditions.

However, which of these swords would be best for modern HEMA tournaments?

Btw, I pulled the photos and names from this website, which has a deeper description of each weapon.

I do love this moment of Prometheus defending humans.

I think Supergiant just killed it with his character design and the voice acting is amazing too! He's like the ideal Greek punk!

Also, what the hell, Melinoe! I didn't think you thought of us like that. Don't let Odysseus or Arachne hear you say that.

I've been meaning to buy a bokken for Aikido practice. I found this store on Etsy with good ratings that sells handmade bokken. Since this is my first time buying something like this, I wanted a second opinion.

Also, what size bokken should I buy? The sizes available are 90cm, 102cm and 105cm. My height is 5 feet 8 inches.

For those who don’t know, you make a wish/goal and paint one eye of the doll in black. When the goal is complete you paint the other eye.

I was an orange belt before I got my ACL injury. After intense physio and regular doctor checkups I’ve regained my leg strength (without surgery too). Doctor said I can start light practice in a month and slowly build intensity.
