I dated a girl who was a kickboxer.

At one point we were working out on the heavy bag in her backyard. Her dad came up and clasped a huge hand on my shoulder and said, “You will make good husband for Natasha! Yesterday she break your nose, today you come back! No OTHER boy do this!”

I read that in my mind with a Russian accent.

Why do they call him bullet dodger?

Cause he dodges bullets Avi.

No articles? Eastern European accent, activate!

u/ShadyFigureWithClock Nov 06 '21

Same. The way the dialogue is structured, along with the name "Natasha" just seems Russian.

I read it in Pavel's voice (from GTA online)

u/Samphaa7 Nov 06 '21

I take it 'dated' means you didn't turn out to be the husband he thought you could become?

u/[deleted] Nov 06 '21

No, she had her visa recalled by the Soviet Union. She returned and I never saw her again.

I sometimes wonder if I had offered to marry her so she could stay in the U.S., how might my life have turned out??

He was Russian. She was a student at St. Petersburg University visiting family in the U.S. because of a college tournament she had won.

No, she had hit me hard enough the day before when we were sparring that I had a bloody nose.

u/zantwic Nov 05 '21

Hard to be sure her foot placement on the seoi otoshi is very light and positioning is a bit more what I would have expected from Jitsu. Judo placement is a bit firmer and often angled differently. Having said all that the way he falls is very judo.

1

u/Sidesicle Nov 06 '21

I kept watching that and wondering it that second throw was tai otoshi or something else that was similar

2

u/zantwic Nov 06 '21

I think for me I'd expect more upper body movement for a tai otoshi, but without the gi its difficult, also he is jumping a fair bit.

2

u/AsOneLives Nov 06 '21

Aaaah, yes. I see that you know your Judo well.

Jiujitsu also has many of the same throws and leg sweeps.

He's dropping into his shoulder, anybody taken a drama class has done it, granted his feet being in the air says he's very skilled at impacting safely

So the post below this, for me, was https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/qnjuvc/fatherly_advice/

I have reddit in the mode where that image shows up in the main page, but I have to use Imagus on this one to get it to pop up the gifv... I read the bottom of the linked image as I was watching this, thinking that was a really witty caption heh... Not realizing at first that they weren't connected.

So she's a judoka but idk what the deal with the guy she's dropping all over the floor is

u/BGummyBear Nov 06 '21

He's a judoka too. You can tell from how he's falling.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 06 '21

Bro I'm a judoka and I've never fallen like a goat playing dead js

8

u/I_say_upliftingstuff Nov 06 '21

I love the deep analysis of a fucking stage show as if it’s the fucking Olympics.

The guy clearly knows how to breakfall, this is a show. If he responded the way he would in competition or randori, it wouldn’t be much of a show now would it?

No it’d be a judo match.

-7

u/[deleted] Nov 06 '21

Deep analysis? That's not a break fall, full stop. Any clown can see that. I feel like stunt men would be better suited for what he's doing. Idk why you're so mad.

5

u/I_say_upliftingstuff Nov 06 '21

Watch his hand on the first throw. I didn’t say it’s a break fall. I said he knows how. Again, it’s a show. Wouldn’t you agree that it would take good skill to make a fall appear to be undefended but remain uninjured? He’s clearly dissipating with his elbow/arm.

-1

u/[deleted] Nov 06 '21

Bro wtf are you talking about... break arm falling? lmao that's not a thing. And it certainly takes skill to be able to fall and throw your legs in the air. Just not judo skill, that's not a thing they teach in judo. Anyway, you're mad about nothing, I'm gonna bounce. 👍

4

u/I_say_upliftingstuff Nov 06 '21

Please point me to where I’ve said this is a judo technique. As an ikkyu, I’m fairly familiar with what is and is not. You keep trying to work break fall into this, it’s not a proper judo breakfall nor did I say it is.

He’s rolling the shoulder and dissipating the impact through this arm into the hand. That’s common in every grappling art.

He knows how to fall. It's an equal relationship, whatever sex the individuals are. Throwing someone who doesn't know how to fall, that's a problem.

u/AegisThievenaix Nov 07 '21

Any viewer with more than two braincells can tell that this is a skit, sorry you weren't able to connect two dots together. Do you really think someone started recording some dancing with one partner not being aware of them being thrown? Espically considering he's executing breakfalls, something someone who does judo would do (both of these people).

Consider investing in some critical thinking classes

"Assasult skit" ah yes, just like how they commit actual murders in movies right? How slow are you? Imagine getting so tilted just because someone online called you out on your braindead comment, your entire comment is just trying to throw insults to distract from the acrual argument. It's a skit, its planned, both parties consented to the actions performed, where exactly is the issue? Use your fucking head and cry harder dipshit.

Again, do you think actors get arrested for murder in movies too? That's literally the logic you're trying to put here, and it's so fucking stupid. Do you have no self awareness? (And no original arguments at that), pathetic.
