I mean everyone wipes their ***, but it's still an inconvenience to have to wipe it

We had a guy who would sweat puddles no matter we did. A short basic technique segment in class and puddles! And most of us were training dang hard, but no one left puddles like him. And I left a decent puddle every now and then! If we rotated around or moved around the room he'd have to wipe up his sweat as it was a hazard! And he was an incredibly fit guy!

Some people are definitely bigger sweaters than others ;D

I can relate to having a guy like that at my dojang. I was sparring with him, a much older and more experienced guy, but his mobility faltered due to age. I would say he managed to get me good though, because I ended up slipping and falling on one of his puddles of sweat

Yeah, he's gifted that way. As am I, but when it comes to Jobo, I'll step aside and learn from the master.

....oh about those stupid toe-shoes. I hate the way they look and feel that they discriminate against any of us who have more than five toes on a foot. But, Ivan.... since you already bought a pair, why don't you get back to us in a week or two and tell us how they are working out.

Had the Vibram 5 Finger shoes many years ago didn't like them.
Have been using a Minimalist Barefoot Running Shoe for a few years now.

Yeah personally I can take it or leave it with shoes. For karate and Muay Thai I’m happy not wearing them (been wearing them lately due to classes being outside)

but Krav Maga you do wear shoes all the time. I don’t care either way tbh. I just wear normal trainers for when I do need them. I’m not going to buy some fancy shoes that cost more and do the same thing but that’s just me

I had a pair, and they were fine, but I think more gimmicky than anything else. You'll definitely get a lot of looks, because they certainly stand out.

Not sure what the sweat talk was about. IIRC, you can wash these pretty easily, too.

ive seen him do 20 posts an hour, 4 days is ample time for him to go for the win
