Just throwing it out there. It's pretty interesting how this seems to be the global standard, and while you have outliers like the German Eagles, they're really just the exception to the rule.

But honestly, every sport traces its roots back to some specific home country, so I haven't really noticed other sports using their origin language for team names.

It feels a little off to me, honestly, though I wouldn't be surprised if there’s some shady sponsorship or funding driving things from behind the scenes in the USA.

My bad.
Turns out it’s not just an American thing, either—it's happening in Germany, the Netherlands, South Korea, and probably pretty much everywhere else on the planet.
Anyone actually know why we do this?

Why on earth do all these American football clubs here have names in English?

You’re never going to get a realistic training session just by hitting a heavy bag, because in an actual UFC bout, you aren't just throwing strikes; you have to worry about defending yourself at the same time—especially if you're stuck in someone's guard where they can hunt for submissions—all while trying to figure out how to work your way past their defense.
That said, if all you're really looking for is a way to burn some calories and keep yourself entertained, it gets the job done well enough.

I mean, even the Shaolin monks have their own version of a workout, lugging around heavy water jugs and stuff like that. My advice, Isaac, is just hit up a gym.
Whether you’re aiming to be some massive bodybuilder, lean and shredded, all pumped up, or just packing hidden strength—skinny or broad—it all comes down to how you train and what you eat. But honestly, you can get pretty much any look you want at a gym, and it’s easily the most straightforward way to actually make it happen.

Bruce Lee lived in the gym and was basically a bodybuilder himself, which is why he's such a massive icon for guys in the lifting community today.

But from what I can tell, that low-budget version actually had a way better cast. 🙂

He passed away at 96.
I wasn't really sure which sub this belonged in, but since we all pretty much know him from those old juice commercials and his whole philosophy on staying fit and living right, I figured he deserved a dedicated thread here.

What are the key differences between male and female pedophiles?

Exactly. Stop daydreaming about some hot teacher from a movie and start picturing a bloated old lady walking up to a twelve-year-old kid, slapping him across the face, and telling him to strip down before grabbing him—suddenly the whole vibe changes, doesn't it?
Honestly, you just have to look at the posters on a typical twelve-year-old girl's bedroom wall to see what's actually going on.

and let’s be real, if you start bringing force into the equation, you’ve completely missed the point and ended up in an entirely different conversation

Depends on how old you actually are. So, what's the damage? How many years have you been stuck on this planet?

what the hell? nationalism? lol.
Suddenly everyone’s an expert on this movie, and honestly, it feels like I'm the only one who actually sat through it. Heh.
But clearly, that didn't stop them from jumping in just to talk trash.
Eric Collins5 said:And what exactly are you supposed to be right now? 😂
Seriously though, where on earth did you see even a tiny hint of nationalism in my post?
😕
Honestly, if this movie had come out of somewhere like Canada, would they have been tearing it apart this fast?
Eric Collins5 said:What was I saying... uhhh yeah, based on the trailers, the animation looks pretty mediocre to me; hasn't changed my mind.
I'd compare it to Akira (1988)
Akira cost over 10 million dollars back in 1988. That's not much less than something like Predator or smrtonosan oružje. Is it even fair to put this movie up against Akira, and would anyone even bother making that comparison if this had come from some other poor neighboring country?

Look, cut the crap, though I guess there are a few exceptions to my rule.
If this were some Canadian production, everyone here would be singing praises about how far the Canadians have come with their animation.
Instead, you guys are picking fights over every little detail, digging for reasons to get all worked up about nationalism over a damn cartoon.
And you don't have to be an idiot to realize that the Japanese are just ahead of the curve; they lead the rest of the world in animation by a mile, so bringing that up in this thread doesn't really prove anything.
Besides, there’s plenty of modern Japanese animation out there that—even if I haven't checked Technotise lately—is almost certainly way worse than this.
PS, sorry for the language, but honestly, some of the comments in here pretty much earn it.

I’ve been playing basketball for quite a while now—about eight and a half years total—and I’m really itching to know where I should start if I want to take this pro and whether this path is actually right for me.
So, here's the deal: I'm 20 years old, standing at 6'5", and weighing about 176 lbs. Honestly, I could probably put on another 45 pounds or so, but hey, that’s nothing I can't handle.
I'm living out here in the States, and man, I have this massive dream of becoming a real sharpshooter one day. But since things aren't always laid out perfectly for you, I wanted to ask how I should even begin looking into the professional scene and if you think I've got what it takes. Thanks a ton.
I'm honestly worried you won't find any training like that anywhere near you, because for a show like that, gymnastics is probably the most vital part, along with the actual wrestling.
PS, I gave you a straight answer, but feel free to just admit you're messing with us. 😛

Sounds good, sounds good.
I'm going to go check out a training session once this week. If I like it, great; if not, also great.🙂🙂
Don't sweat it too much, though you’ll probably have to eat plenty of "spinach" first—meaning you'll be grinding through endless drills before any coach even looks at you twice, let alone lets you spar or take a hit.
Honestly, there's a pretty good chance you'll be the one begging for some live rounds the second the instructor turns their back. 😉
