Same here , I ' m pretty young and when I was a little kid I watched my brother play CVX on his PS 2 . The doors opening scared the shit out of me . <| sep |> but why would he go through all that trouble when A he ' s not that relevant and B it ' s literally 2016 and okay to be gay <| sep |> Lunala or Porygon ? <| sep |> Yeah , Singapore servers have always been in Americas , not Asia which is weird . The Asian server has Korean servers where not a lot of people speak English . <| sep |> I held on to the belief that you had to defend the belt no matter whatTo my knowledge , there are no belt tests for being able to defend against throws , except for a couple counters . It ' s been awhile since I ' ve tested , so correct me if I ' m wrong . This means that traditionally speaking , a belt only signifies the student ' s ability to perform the mechanics of an offensive technique . You would think that there is a correlation between not getting thrown and belt color , but it ' s not that simple . I don ' t get thrown much , because I train specifically to block throws . But I also love the elegance of judo , so I genuinely like getting thrown for ippon in randori . So it ' s a win win for me ! I ' m also not the lead instructor , so I have the luxury of being thrown .
