No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I don't know as I have not worked in the field but story time. When I was young there was a cheap judo class taught at the Y. I did that for at least a year I think. I actually came back to it and quit again. Anyway I did like it and like martial arts in general. I would pick up free classes at tae kwon do places (influenced a bit by a korean freind) heck even hop ki do (forgive spellings please). Degerberg would have free things and then lastly in college there was a jujitsu club and I did that for awhile. Anyway I was with a friend and the library had this thing of concrete stairs that lead up to it. Not real steep and kinda a path but the one set was standard steepness I think. Well I was not watching where I was stepping and kinda caught part of the edge with too much momentum. It all happened fast but my brain figured out what was happened and I guess I did the classes enough to have a bit of a reflex and I did a forward rolling fall down the stairs and the distance was perfect enough for me to end up standing at the base. My friends start laughing and I was yelling at him that I could have been really hurt. He replied it looked like I did it on purpose the way it came out. Ok so neigher hear nor there but I can say in learning to fall its a combination of being active enough to make sure you don't hit vital things like your head and generally your bones. You basically want your meaty bits to absorb the shock. In addition though you basically want to relax into the fall. The more relaxed your muscles are the easier they can take the hit. Again not in the field so I can't say for sure but many martial arts teach falling and honestly I think its about the most practical thing to learn in martial arts.
