about the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu,were you talking about capoeira?
No, I meant Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
This is capoeira:
Tumblr media
It’s more like dancing than fighting, that’s why it’s extremely common in movies. It’s flashy and fun to watch, but most of the time you don’t actually touch your opponent.
This is BJJ:
Tumblr media
It’s ground wrestling and actual full contact fighting. You’re not supposed to punch and kick and stuff, but in MMA(mixed martial arts) you’re allowed to. It’s not flashy, and 90% of the time it looks like a cartoon dust cloud to the untrained eye.
Here’s some videos you can watch to see the differences:

Good question! :]

People are so shocked when actors have a gut in between movies.
Keanu is nearly 60 and he probably doesn't want to eat broiled fish and salad and do constant jiu-jitsu training during his time off.
I will say, a lot more people defend Keanu's little gut than any actress.
A woman with a gut is gLorFyinG oBeSiTY.

Listening to Ryan Coogler's director's commentary on Wakanda Forever on that vicious-ass Bridge Fight. Some comments:
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
There's not much on the Okoye/Attuma interactions. It'a mostly all about their first fight, which was one of the hardest to film since they're legit really going at each other and you can't CGI that sort of thing (save backgrounds)
-The concept of Attuma circling his warriors as they take on Okoye (and get they ass beat) is from a scene in a David Mamet directed movie called Red Belt, where Chiwetel Ejiofor circles around his jiu jitsu students and gives them pointers as they fight each other.
-It's all about running the characters through combat since there's a language barrier between them. So this is how they communicate with each other, through action.
-It's all about Okoye's toughness. They really wanted to put her through it.
-When Okoye gets whipped into the handle of Attuma's scythe and it dislocates her shoulder? The stunt is called called a Dead Man Hit and is pretty hard and dangerous to do. Kudos to Danai's stunt double. And yeah, that was supposed to look that brutal.
-Most of the time, the Talokanil rebreathers and the water in them were CGI. Though Attuma taking his off to give to Shuri is a practical effect with a rebreather prop and real water in it.
That's all for now!

PLEASE DRAW KONIG PLEASE OLEASE OLEASE OLEASE OLEWWAAASE /J okay serious question time. What does Nak and Krueger do in their free time (if they even have any lol)?
Tumblr media
Creator Notes: Stylus is at Home on vacation atm, Krueger will be drawing for today (He didn't wanna draw his cousin)
Hi Beller [starts beating you up] Thanks for the Ask- I've already answered the question somewhat in a previous ask (I should probably make a Masterlist) however Bc I like answering asks I'll actually expand more on it since there's new ideas for them
Honestly? If they aren't on cleaning duty for doing stupid shit, They would be doing stupid shit LMAO-
They would go on walks to look for stuff on the ground, "Five cool rocks/leaves, then we go home" type of deal.
Sparring if they're on base, Nak is really good at Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu while Krueger's fighting style is probably Boxing/Street Adjacent. I feel like they're pretty even despite Krueger having the height and weight advantage?
Snuggling, Self explanatory, sometimes they're too tired to do anything so they just cuddle and talk.
Watching Movies at home. Nak didn't watch alot of movies growing up other than like Disney and such when she was 8-10, so they put one on to just talk during it like;
-Pointing at the screen, "You like that guy?"
-"No, he's an ass. "
-chuckling"He's Handsome, No? He looks like me."
-"He does not."
-"Why don't you like him?"
-"I don't see why he's so mean to his kids."
[30 minutes later]
-"Did you have to wear lederhosen like that when you were younger?"
-"..No."
-"...🤨"
-" Yes. And I looked stupid."
-"I'm sure you did."
[30 minutes later]
-"OH MY GOD?"
-"Yeah."
-"Nazis."
-"Yup."
-"..Jesus."
-"What'd you expect, Phayvanh? They mentioned it earlier."
-"Well I didn't think they were going to actually play out that bit! I thought it was going to be an offhand thing!"
[They were watching The Sound Of music]
If you made it this far, thank you for reading :3 I'm trying to answer as many asks as I can so sorry if they're a little late.

Writing Fight Scenes Part 7 - Basic Ground-fighting Terminology
So a lot of what you see in movies is (bedazzled, unrealistic) stand-up fighting/sparring that involves things like punches and kicks. But the reality is, most fights don't remain 'on their feet.' In this post, I'm going to talk about why most realistic fights go to the ground, the goals of ground-fighting, and some basic terminology
Before that, I should mention that I am going to be speaking from a grappling perspective. Grappling and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu are very similar martial arts, the main difference being the fact that bjj is usually performed while wearing a gi. I've always found this impractical, as many of the submissions (I'll explain this term in a minute) that rely on clothing are difficult to execute if a character's opponent is wearing civilian clothing
Importance of grappling
Above all else, a character who is good at fighting will know how to grapple because it is far easier to fall than it is to stand back up. A character loses their footing? Gets tackled/tripped? Catches a fist to the face? They're going to the ground. On the other hand, once a character is on the ground, their opponent might not be so kind as to allow them back to their feet. So, what do they do?
Goals of grappling
Returning to standing position
Like I just said, it's quite hard for a character to come back to their feet after they've hit the ground, but it can be done. A character would want to 1. Create space from their opponent, 2. Move quickly (to avoid giving their opponent the chance to stop them) and 3. Protect their head, especially if their opponent is still on their feet
Pummeling/TKO/Knockout
TKO, by the way, stands for 'technical knockout,' and describes an instance where an opponent is deemed unable to fight back even while conscious, usually due to an incessant beating. If two characters are grappling, one can maneuver into a favorable position (like sitting on the chest) and just beat the shit out of the other. This is great if you have a more brutish character because the most technical part is getting into a good position
Submission
These are a little trickier to describe, because there's a lot of them. The goal of a submission is to either force an opponent to submit (no shit, right?) or to forcibly stop a fight by knocking them unconscious/breaking something. The two main categories are chokes and breaks
Chokes:
Blood chokes - these aren't as scary as they sound. They target the veins/arteries on either side of the throat to stop the flow of blood to the brain. They take hold pretty quickly but typically don't hurt at all, unless you pass out I guess
Air chokes - these are illegal in the ufc, because you can easily do damage to the throat structures. As you might guess, your character is just squeezing the hell out of the actual column of an opponent's throat. Also, they take longer to set in. Only let your character perform an air choke if they're a massive cunt/out for blood
Breaks:
This is actually another umbrella term. In reality, there are actual breaks, and then dislocations, hyperextensions, cranks/bars, and some that fall into multiple categories
Breaks - you guessed it, your character breaks bone. The most common ones are wrist, arm, elbow and knee (these two also fall into the hyperextension category), leg and ankle breaks. I've broken too many of my own bones to enjoy writing OR reading these, so
Dislocations - again, pretty self-explanatory. Shoulder and knee dislocations take precedence. Gross
Hyperextensions - mostly elbows and knees. Disgusting
Cranks/bars - this is the one I think I need to explain the most. Cranks aim to fuck up muscles, tendons and ligaments by wrenching joints beyond their normal mobilities. I see the most shoulder and knee cranks. Whump writers, you'll love these because you can go slow, drag it out. That being said, if you make me read that, I will show up in your backyard
Basic Terminology
So I already got some terms out of the way, but grappling is a whole different world than stand-up fighting. Have y'all ever heard 'jiu jitsu is gay' jokes? They're right actually
Rolling - the actual act of grappling with someone, usually for practice. It is NOT out of the ordinary for a character who does martial arts to say to their buddy, 'hey, you wanna roll?'
Clinch - 'the clinch' is kind of an intermediary stage between stand-up fighting and grappling wherein a character and their opponent are still on their feet, but they're holding onto each other. It kinda looks like a dynamic hug tbh, but really, they're fighting for a more advantageous position, so that a given character can knock their opponent to the ground
Mount - one character is flat on their back while the other straddles their chest. Ideally, the character on top (dominant position) would either sit high on their opponent's chest/collarbones, or they would sit directly on the diaphragm and squeeze with their knees
Guard - one character is flat on their back with their legs crossed around the other character's torso, who has their knees slightly spread for balance. The character on the bottom has the advantage if they can trap and pull their opponent's face to their chest, and cross their ankles high on their opponent's back. Conversely, the character on top has the advantage if they can sit up as straight as possible
Half-guard - think scissoring, almost. One character on their back/side and one sitting/kneeling upright, each with one of the other's legs crossed between their own. Same rules for advantage as guard. I don't really like this position because I don't like having my legs tangled up, it's too easy for my opponent to try a knee bar
Side control - one character flat on their back (preferably with their knees bent upwards) and the other laying on them perpendicularly, face-down. The idea here is to be as heavy as possible, to stop the character on the bottom from moving. Female characters want to press using the weight of their hips, male characters want to press using the weight of their chest; to trap a female character, lay closer to the hips, and to trap a male character, lay on the chest.
Rear mount - actually not as terrible as it sounds! Both characters on their asses, one behind the other with their arms wrapped around the torso/the ankles hooked behind the knees. DO NOT let your character cross their ankles when they are the one behind, holding their opponent. It is an EXCELLENT way to end up with broken legs (don't worry abt why)
North-south - ...69. I hate this one too, it's way too easy to get my knee fucked with
I hope this was helpful, and if not helpful, at least amusing. I guess the idea of this post was to give you some key words to google, in case you want to do more in-depth research (i.e you want your character to perform a cool submission but have no idea where to start looking)
Unimportant but funny aside, my old instructors accidentally came up with a blood choke where you literally use your face to choke someone tf out. They call it The Hickey

Thank you @restless-witch for tagging me ^^
Questions for 15 friends
ARE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?: Not as far as I know (i like to believe I'm named after a character feom "Pippi Longstockings" but i know I'm not) If, for some reason, i don't want to tell someone my given name I tend to use names of characters I played in a ttrpg or in a play (my favourite name is Valentine from Twelth Night) if that counts?
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED?: Monday, from 8pm until 10:30pm, with some breaks (i had a bit of an exhausting week with a lot of bottled up emotions and rehearsing for a play in which sickness, death and loneliness are prominent topics is both cathartic and very hard sometimes)
DO YOU HAVE KIDS?: Nope
WHAT SPORTS DO YOU PLAY/HAVE YOU PLAYED?: i used to play handball (hated it), vaulting (loved it), track and field athletics (hated it), hip hop dancing (it was fun i guess but i also felt incredibly awkward), Judo (loved it), Jiu Jitsu (loved it). Now I dance (for the theatre but I'll still count it) and go running sometimes and very rarely I do some sword fighting with a friend (i feel like I'm missing something but i dont remember anything else)
DO YOU USE SARCASM?: Yeah, but only with certain people. I am very bad at telling if someone else is just being sarcastic or is genuinely insulting me, so i often worry that my sarcasm comes across as such. I often follow it up with "just a joke" or something
WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE?: Probably hairstyle and clothes? Visual things by which i can try to remember them
WHAT’S YOUR EYE COLOUR?: Brown
SCARY MOVIES OR HAPPY ENDINGS?: Depends on my mood
ANY TALENTS?: One time I got out of bed and failed so hard that i broke a foot. Make of that what you will

Theater (including singing, dancing, acting, building the stage set, crafting the props)
cooking (i love doing it, i just don't do it very often)
playing the guitar
ttrpg
going on long walks/hiking -running -creative writing -indulging in the hubris of thinking i can teach myself a new skill without doing any research (aka. Whittling, embroidery, crocheting, making my own dnd dice) I feel like I'm missing something but oh well
DO YOU HAVE ANY PETS?: Sadly no. But I'll give an honourable mention to the dog I'm taking on walks whenever i got time
HOW TALL ARE YOU?: 168cm probably. I haven't measured my height in ages
FAVOURITE SUBJECT IN SCHOOL?: Theater and literature. Honourable mention to maths, not because i liked o4 understood the subject but because my teacher was the absolute best
DREAM JOB?: Kindergarten teacher (and maybe publishing a book one day)
Tagging: @dhwty-writes @parttime-creative @sinilumi @combatbootsfemme @lycanbucky @lokibus @a-kind-of-merry-war @witcher-and-his-bard and everyone else who sees this and wants to do this <3

Co-Stars
Today, the guys were on "The Tonight Show starting Jimmy Fallon," but you couldn't make it, or so they thought.
"Guys the movie is great. It's really, really, an amazing movie. It's exactly what you hope it would be." Jimmy Fallon says to the guys after they all sit down.
"Thank you." Henry replies in his cunning British accent
"And you do a great job in it," Jimmy continues "and Johanna does a great job in it."
"Joey was amazing." Chris says smiling as he thinks of you.
"Yeah she is." Jimmy agrees "I heard that the 3 of you are really close."
*Chris grins to himself knowing that Jimmy has no idea how close you guys actually are*
"Yeah." Henry agrees smiling
Tumblr media
"And you do a lot of stuff together."
*holding back a laugh* "yeah," Chris answers "yeah. I guess you could say that."
Jimmy holds up a picture of Joey and Henry dressed in kimonos. Joey has him pinned down to a mat. Henry appears to be in distress. 
Jimmy laughs "what's going on here."
*Chris cracks up. Left boob grab and all*
Henry chuckles as he answers "Jiu-jitsu. She wanted a new challenge so I brought her to my instructor and this is what happened."
"W-w-w-w wait, wait," Jimmy hold up his hand "this is her first day?"
*Chris laughs harder.*
Tumblr media
Henry scratches his head "maybe the fourth or fifth day. But definitely towards the beginning."
Jimmy just looks at him. "Dude she's half your size."
Henry chuckles "she's really good."
"Hang on. I've got another one." Jimmy pulls out a picture of you in boxing gloves hitting a punching bag. Chris is in the background with a bloody nose.
*Chris laughs even harder* "I was hoping you wouldn't have that one."
*Henry grins as he looks at the photograph*
"What did she hit you or something?" Jimmy laughs
*Chris nods and squeezes his eyes shut from how hard he's laughing.*
"He wanted a sparring partner" Henry answers for him "and she's got a mean left hook"
*jimmy touches his forehead*
"Isn't she right handed?" Jimmy asks
*Chris bends over and slaps his knee* "yes"
"so she gave you a bloody nose with her left hand and then continued to punch the bag for a picture?"
*Henry grins* "yes"
*jimmy cracks up*
"Anything for the audience right?" Henry says
*the crowd goes wild*
*Chris finally gets himself together* "look at the muscle on that chick." Chris says referring to the picture "she's wicked strong"
"I'd say. She bested Captain America and Superman." Jimmy says.
"You don't understand. Joey is a different breed." Henry explains dramatically "Not only is she in amazing shape and a fast learner, but she is incredibly intelligent. She is a real life superhuman."
"Seriously," Chris starts with an unusually thick Boston accent. "They should be making movies about her." 
*the crowd awwwwhh's.* 
"You guys are really sweet." Jimmy says "I bet you wish she was here."
*Out of view of Chris and Henry, you sneak across the stage making hushing noises at the crowd.*
"totally." Chris answers. "Joey makes everything better." 
*you wait until Chris reaches for his glass of water and has it pressed against his lips to yell.*
"CHRIS!" You scream making Henry jump in his seat. Water shoots out of Chris's nose. Jimmy laughs so hard that he hits the table. 
"you scared me." Henry says as he stands hug you. "My heart is pounding."
Chris laughs as he collects himself. He sets the glass down and stands to greet you as well. He places a kiss on your cheek. "You got me good Haywood. I've gotta hand it to you." He helps you around the couch to take a seat beside him. "But I'm gonna get you back for that."
"Yeah. We'll see about that." You say back to him as you cross your legs. 
"Johanna. It’s so nice of you to join us." Jimmy says talking really fast as he usually does.
"Thank you for having me." You say very politely as you cheese at Jimmy and scan the crowd as they have not finished cheering about your arrival.
"You seem to be in a really good mood today," Jimmy says as he sees you shift in your seat.
You look over to Chris who is looking down at his now soaked shirt. "I am! I'm really excited to be here and I think it's hilarious that I made Chris shoot water out of his nose on national television." You say as you start to laugh again. The crowd laughs with you. 
Chris laughs at himself and hangs his head as he pouts his lip. You wrap your arms around him and hug him. The crowd awhs 
You then turn back to Jimmy and hide your mouth from Chris with your hand. "Anything for the audience," you say
Chris, Henry, Jimmy and the crowd all lose it.

Tagged by @voxofthevoid thank youu! :D
1. Are you named after anyone?
Nope and I didn't name myself after anyone either
2. When was the last time you cried?
If we're talking full-on crying with tears and snot and everything, then over a decade ago. If it's a few tears, then last Halloween. My mother was being an ignorant bastard again.
3. Do you have kids?
No, and I don't want any. If I were to get into a relationship with someone who already has kids then maybe, but I'm not getting any new ones and definitely not making them myself.
4. What sport have you played?
Never really "played" any sports, but I did kung-fu and jiu-jitsu since I was ~4 and also some indoor climbing. Got into bouldering again lately.
5. Do you use sarcasm?
Yep
6. What's the first thing you notice about other people?
Hands and mouth most of the time. Somehow that's always what first draws my attention and what I'm looking at during a conversation. Could tell you what someone's fingers or teeth look like before I know their eye colour.
7. Eye colour?
Brown and blue. Most of the time people think I have brown eyes because my pupils blend out the blue parts.
8. Scary movies or happy endings?
Definitely scary movies. Happy endings are nice, but it's not something I think is that important. All that counts is that it's interesting.
9. Any talents?
Writing? Maybe? I'm also good with animals (worked as a farm hand for a while) and my body is very flexible.
10. Where were you born?
In a snowed-in hospital
11. Hobbies?
Writing fanfics for the most part and also climbing
12. Pets?
Unfortunately not at the moment, but I babysit my parent's dog sometimes while they're on holiday.
13. How tall are you?
Not as tall as I'd like to be
14. Favourite subject in school?
I don't really remember. Latin was fun as I got into the higher grades aka when I got better at it and same applies to 10th - 12th grade Math. I used to be shit in Math because of discalculia, but for some reason equations and vectors really vibed with me.
15. Dream job?
Something in Public Relations/Communications/Marketing. Currently working on making that a reality.
Don't want to pressure anyone, but you want to, tagging: @kaitakushi @hxhhasmysoul @zbengui @urostakako @keniaku @jokepool

💭hey mannn. My favorite color is green, my favorite animal is a cat and favorite amphibian would be a frog. My personality type is an INFP-T or a Mediator. I’m a trans Demi-boy that’s bisexual that still can’t pull :,) (tho I could, just don’t wanna 🤷). I’ve contemplated if I was under the ace/aro umbrella for a bit and still am, just haven’t figured it out yet. I do jiu jitsu, dungeons and dragons, and read in my free time. I have (prolly) over 150 mangas that I’ve collected for a while now and it will continue to grow. I wanna be a film producer and make movie adaptations of books (I’ll happily take recommendations on what books). My favorite flower is a sunflower. I have trouble figuring out the difference between platonic and romantic feelings with my friends. And I’d say that’s all I have the energy for lol. Have a good day/night, Alastor! (And op🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁)
" What a curious individual, aren't you? I can see that you have are an adventurous one by your interests alone, haha! You certainly are open minded, yes? A true connoisseur of the arts! Wonderful, haha. "

if you get this, answer w/ three random facts about yourself and send it to the last seven blogs in your notifs. anon or not, doesn’t matter, let’s get to know the person behind the blog !
Hi Jen!! Happy Fri-yay!! I hope your weekend gets kicked off to a great start! Thank you for sending this my way, these are always fun!
Random Fact #1 - I love learning languages. I know a decent amount of Spanish and am currently learning Portuguese. Once I feel like I pick up enough to use context clues, I like to watch shows or movies in a different language to see how well I can pick up on what's being said. I most recently watched 30 Coins on HBO without the English dubbing. (side note, if you like religious horror I 110% recommend that show. Season 1 was really good.) Next up is Paradise.
Random Fact #2 - I have a green thumb. I grew up in New Jersey and our state nickname is the Garden State and I think when I learned that as a child I took it as a responsibility to garden. I have 15 house plants (in a one bedroom apartment) and every summer I overload my balcony with tomatoes, peppers and herbs. I actually just started my seeds a few days ago! Last year we had so many peppers that at the end of the season, I dehydrated them all to use as chili flakes and we still have half the jar.
Random Fact #3 - I have my blue belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Unfortunately I had to stop training about two years ago because I was dealing with injuries and health issues, but someday I hope to be able to get back to it. As a former marathoner, I can honestly say that training BJJ was the most intense workout I ever had in my life. I miss the adrenaline of "getting into fights" (sparring) and would love to get back in competition shape again. (Bonus fun fact, I won the Colorado state championship for my weight class in 2016) Occasionally I still dream in triangle chokes. Every now and then I slap a choke on my little brother (he's a foot taller than me) just to remind him that I can whip his ass.
