Looking to get some basics and came across this site. Just seeing if anyone has had any experience with them. Or have any info at all. They have lady white co and velva sheen at discounted prices. But my spider senses started tingling. Thanks in advance.
So I guess my question: Is this website legit.
It is not legit, it's a phishing site used to collect people's cc data.

Nope, nope, nope.

Never heard of this company. I did a quick look on their site – no address info, email seems dodgy, everything marked down. They could be legit but when in doubt avoid like the plague.

I will only let Rain and her partner do repairs on my stuff . Patience is key. I have standing stack of repairs at my sister in laws in Portland. I'll be getting a bunch of stuff back soon, I'll share to results.

Has @Sam given up modeling duties?
-
No. What are you basing that on?
IH's IG posts. Not that it matters. I've just noticed that a lot of your recent posts haven't had Sam in them.

I don't know if any of you are into martial arts but I'm looking for class recommendations for my son. We started talking about it last night and he's very interested. He's also got a ton of energy so having an outlet for him is important. Problem is, there are so many disciplines and I don't know which to choose. Do I go with karate? Judo? Tae Kwan Do? He said he just wants to learn how to chop wood planks in half

I can’t speak for the other disciplines, but my son has been doing karate for 7 years and absolutely loves it.
I think finding a good instructor is more important than the discipline you choose. -

I loved training in Hapkido, which is a 20th-century Korean martial art fusing soft Japanese traditions such as Jujutsu and Aikido with Korean striking techniques as found in disciplines like tae kwon do. This hybrid of soft and hard techniques I think is great. You get the devastating Korean strikes, though circularly- rather than linearly-focused, and the redirective, joint-locking, and pressure point techniques from Japan. I believe it to be an excellent street fighting and self-defense discipline too, plenty of ways to really hurt someone bad, or to suppress their aggression as appropriate the the scale of danger you're facing. The first technique we were taught was a nasty little shin kick to catch your opponent off guard. Every lesson incorporated joint locking and pressure point strikes. The discipline also incorporates disarming tactics for ancient and modern weapons. In its practicality for self-defense and its focus on fitness, it reminds me of Krav Maga. In its discipline (sitting in seiza for long durations, etc), it reminds me of karate.
Our instructor would do an hour of fitness followed by an hour of instruction.

@gaseousclay My son studied Taekwondo (Spelling) for 12 years achieving the rank of 3rd degree black belt. I can not say enough about the school and the wonderful instructors he had there. I think whatever he decides to study the instructors are so important. One day my son was groggily stumbling out of his room,figured I could hit him,and in 5 seconds he had me on the floor. I said how’d you do that to which he replied I’m a black belt. There’s that to consider.

@gaseousclay I used to practice Wing Chun until my Sifu decided to partially severe his hand. Since we moved I have not joined a new club, but I will, and when our son is 5 I'll look at joining him. The internet is full of subjective views about what is the most effective martial art in a street scenario. The simple answer is 'none', as you wouldn't be fighting like for like. Most martial arts practitioners I've ever met who have had to defend themselves have used some of the techniques they've learned combined with simply brawling.
I want our son to develop the confidence and self assuredness to say no to his peers in difficult situations. Feeling confident in your physical capabilities helps with that.
Wing Chun is the basis for quite a lot of modern martial arts. It's focus is on efficiency, so using defence and attack at the same time. There are also grappling moves in more advance techniques. I'd definitely look into it….

Cheers people! Hope your week has started off well! Quick question, I'm around 1.70 height but my legs are a tad bit shorter and I also do olympic weightlifting so my legs are a bit short and thick as well. I'm currently going through my second pair o f Edwin's ed-55 which is medium rise and tapered legs waist is 36 length is 30. Thw thing is I've lost quite some weight and now w36 is plenty big. Any suggestions on what IH cut I should look for? Also living in Greece means that even through winter the temperatures aren't that low so denim weight? I've never worn denim heavier than 15oz which is nice. How breathable are the 18-20oz?
Sorry for the superlong post,let me know if there is a more suitable thread!
Cheers!
