  • In Muay Thai, when your opponent tries to throw a knee, they hold the back of your neck and pull you.
    A knee to the stomach or plexus is really powerful, so you have to act fast.
    The best defense in those cases is to hold the back of their neck in return, pull them closer so that they cannot strike, and try to throw a knee first.
    It ends up with a play of the two opponents holding each other and trying to throw a knee while closing the distance.
    And most likely ends up in the dead lock or “hugging” that we see in match.

    I’m sure there are other techniques that involve this holding in MMA. Forbidding it would remove those techniques from the game.








  • This is exactly what you said. Workout and cold showers.
    Even if a cold shower is once a day, it is enough. Willpower is like a muscle, you don’t have to exert it constantly, but regularly.
    As for working out, you don’t have to like it, to make it. This is the hard pill to swallow, but struggling is part of it, at least in the beginning.
    What I find helpful personally, is to watch a coaching video. You follow the moves of the vlogger at the same pace, and only pause when you can absolutely not take it anymore. I end up cursing at the video and hating my life on the spot.

    I recon that it helped me have more control on myself (like pain tolerance). But as for the ADHD you describe, I am not sure I saw any improvement personally.







  • The smell of the homeless crazy person that had the habit of shitting themselves and wearing the same green winter coat even during summer. They would wander off the street every evening and you could smell their presence 30 meters away.
    I remember going home every time with the smell stuck on my nostril for half an hour before I could smell anything else.
    The smell was nothing I ever experienced in my whole life. I would say it was closer to cadaverine.
    Its been 15 years but I can still vividly remember it.
    Haunting.
