I would love to learn the art of Swordsmanship but I'm not sure where to start. Is that actually a thing you can get lessons in now days?

I'm really glad that isn't you @shyguy

Thanks everyone!

@Warren H I would check out the hema channel on the server, and try to find an hema or sca group near you.

@Tanner - SC I think “kid” is just a turn of phrase that I’m hearing more and more again these days. Used to be popular around my way in the 90s, and isn’t demeaning or disrespectful.

@Warren H I enjoyed shinkendo.

Not many locations. The one in PA closed up when the teacher moved.

Ayyy Nebraska

>no Texas

"Nothing personal kid" is an internet meme

Example:

@everyone Hey! Bodybuilding.com has a lot of their supplements and powders buy one, get one half off.

tfw i just bought creatine today

@Jbieszczat1031#9679 Buddy all the supplements and powders I need are contained in O N I O N S

after not going to class or working out for a few months, I worked really hard at my martial arts class tonight and now my knees hurt

any advice beyond ice/heat?

called into work too so i can take it easy and not risk further damage since my job is 6 hours of walking

@Gaius Mucius Scaevola NSAIDs, Tylenol, Advil, etc. If it gets to a point that it impairs your ability to walk or specifically hurts around the back, go see a doctor. Your knees and ligaments in 'em aren't something to fuck around with.

the pain wasn't excrutiating, just very uncomfortable

didn't wanna fuck around and fuck them up for life

What motions seem to flare it up/make it hurt? @Gaius Mucius Scaevola Also, what motions/type of martial art were you practicing?

@Gaius Mucius Scaevola Try stretching, too. Just don't push it too much for in case there really is something fucked up in there.

I like how that guy is standing there. Does he expect to effectively spot in any way at all?

it was just standing around and walking. i had been doing kicks and stances, which can put a lot of pressure on the knees. @Jbieszczat1031

@Deleted User Thanks for the advice on juicing your greens every day. It's made a noticeable difference for me

My wife made this menacing beet drink this morning for me... (I forgot I drank it) thought my kidneys were bleeding when I pee’d. @BigBadSaxon - ID

@Havamal I had regular Kvass in ukraine, really enjoyed it.

I'm jealous! @Brandon Ironside- ND

Surprised you were trying different foods and drinks, you were so picky when we went to Høstfest @Brandon Ironside- ND 😂

@BryceB-ND#1845 haha I know, I thought it was going to be terrible since she described it as a "bread drink" but it was actually good.

@Brandon Ironside- ND love kvass had a bunch of it over there as well. What part of Ukraine were u in?

@Robtheroman I was primarily in odessa and strassburg, this was all pre civil war in 2012. Odessa was beautiful and modern but the the rural areas still had lots of poverty and a soviet style feel(we had to pay off police) and some people spoke russian primarily. Overall though i enjoyed it, your money goes really far in that country and I got some cool stories. What about u?

I'm jealous as well
