I have to keep this brief, I wrote an entire post here then realized any details I reveal could compromise my safety. I will keep this short, but anyone who has further questions or would like to discuss further, message me.
My ex beat me over a period of years. I suffered physical, mental and sexual abuse. He had been taking martial arts then and would use it against me. He threw me across the floor until I couldnβt walk properly, among other things... I canβt get into specifics because he may be stalking me and could find me and try to attack again.
He is training with a famous Shaolin monk, I thought possibly someone here may know of him, Shifu Shi Yan Ming who currently teaches at the Shaolin Temple in NYC.
The temple doesnβt really care about it, I called them only to be quickly dismissed, saying they only work with authorities. I tried writing to them several times before speaking to this receptionist who seemed not to have any real concern. Filing a police report could be dangerous for a number of reasons. The temple does not screen their disciples, anyone could teach there without any sort of criminal background check or screening for past domestic violence issues.
I wish I could say more. I wrote more before, but itβs not safe to share here publicly.
Everyone knows martial arts should never be used to beat women, only for self defense. I was hoping someone here could possibly help me. Thank you for taking the time to read this post and respond. Amituofo...
I've seen this guy on Youtube, NatGeo and according to his Wikipedia page, he can take full powered strikes to the groin. I just want to find out if anybody can confirm or deny his abilities. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvrID6ZlQnA

Hi, so I'm sure you all know by now that "Ming Yi" is actually He Xuan; the "Black Water Submerging Boats" demon. Anyways, according to some YouTube comments, it was hinted [in the novel] that He Xuan still follows Shi Quingxuan - even disguises himself as a beggar - in order to watch over him. Idk how true this is, but I do know he shows up to the Puqi Shrine celebration last minute/secretly and eats up all the food (poor Xie Lian & ghost helpers). Do you guys think this is true? Does he really still follow Shi Quingxuan? And if so, is it to watch over him or just to taunt him? This guy really confuses me. A part of me feels like he hates Shi Quingxuan, but another part of me feels he actually cares for him. It's all confusing. Oh, and another thing; before Hua Cheng takes Xie Lian away from the celebration, it was noted that two people started quarreling outside. Could it have been Shi Quingxuan & He Xuan?? Just thought it was worth mentioning 'cause the quarreling started happening right after Xie Lian discovers He Xuan showed up.
Anyways, any answers & takes are appreciated. I admit, I liked those two. Wish it had worked out in the end, but at least there's fanfics (speaking of which; any recommendations? :p The smuttier, the better tehe).
*The version i watched is the Thai dub version of the 1994 version, which use Hokkuen pronounciation pursuant to the orginal Thai translated text, so i pretty much have no clue about the actual location name in Mandarin
So i was rewatching the 1994 version, and this scene when Shu was planning the expedition interested me. It seems like Wei Yan favoured more risky but quick approach while Kong Ming favoured the safer approach. For the first time, Kong Ming didnt take Wei Yan's plan seriously, which is understandable. However, l for the following expedition im more and more convinced that Wei Yan's move wouldve been the better one when Kong Ming managed to get himself and his army stuck over something over and over again. He even said himself at some point that he need a quick lightning victory, yet still ignoring Wei Yan's suggestion at every turn and being over cautious himself ? I mean, i wouldve been annoyed myself if i were Wei Yan.
What do you guys think ?
**Im obviously talking about the romance but feel free to discuss the historical version as well, just dont mix it together so im not confused.
What a DIVINE shave, deary me!I've finally bought this chinese razor, a smorgashboard of the Fatboy (handle, dial and TTO) and the Futur (Safety bar and bottom plate) , after a few months of oogling at it on Amazon. What a fine choice did I make! The build quality could be a teeny tiny better admittedly, the bottom plate clashes with the overall look of the razor, but let me get this straight: the test drive of this razor was the best DE shave of my life, being a sort of novice (been wet shaving since January of this year).
This adjustable razor is a thing of beauty for someone with a skin sensitive as mine, coupled with a stiff beard as mine.
Here's my setup:
Astra Superior Platinum
Proraso Green shaving cream and pre-shave cream
Omega brush (unknown model)
Floid the genuine aftershave
I did a three pass shave, first testing the razor at setting 1 on my sideburns, then quickly shifting the adjustment to setting 3 after the first stroke. Did WTG, XTG, ATG flawlessly without problems even on my usual trouble sposts (chin and jawline) and got absolutely no sting from the aftershave. It was a pleasure!
This razor, although cheap (20 euros more or less) is a major improvement over my Wilkinson Vintage classic TTO which was a bit more aggressive than I like, forcing me to shave every two days or face an half a day's worth of razor burn on my chin, even with my favourite blades, the Astra)
I'll try and dial it a bit more aggressive tomorrow, maybe on 5, to see if I can perfom a bit better on my jawline.
I had no problems with the gap adjustments, as some reported, but to be on the safe side I rotated the base plate 180 degrees after partially disassembling it as suggested on Badger and Blade.
I'll have to try and see if I can use the Treet Carbon on this razor (they were too dull even on the wilkinson) as I really dig the vintage look of this pairing.
This adjustable is a big YES from a beginner who had a few problems related to sensitive skin and I really suggest it to others who have the same problems as me. It will fix most of your problems I say and for a really low price.
UPDATE: I've tried the Treet Black Beauties with a setting of 5, then 7 and boy they were good! A smooth BBS with minimal effort, no irritation and a smooth feeling that lasts two days. I've truly made peace with the Treet Carbon, thanks to this awesome razor!
Only complaint would be having so little beard, thanks to such an efficient shave, to not be able to shave every
