Sweden - LON with Dr Sarin

Edit Post

Sweden have you got knee pain? Is it very bad?

Edit Post

 i hate to admit i don't know .... but what exactly is x legs?

Edit Post

Imagine a X but on your legs, where the knees hit each other and ten goes out again. Looks like a phag if you stand like that.

I met a friend and we went to a mini carnival that comes to town every summers for 4 days during the holidays. My friend who is 5'11 was shorter than 2 noob girls. 6'0 or go home.

Hi Sweden, question, did you see or feel any advantage when you started doing martial arts again for having longer legs, did you feel any difference, i mean a positive one. besides all the cons any pros at all?

If you're still unhappy, I advise you seeing a therapist before doing another surgery.

I'm slow as nobody else and it's embarrassing. No gain there....

But my reach is longer so stop kick works very well if they attack, much better than before.

I also kick way higher. Not really any use in competitions but cool for show and flexibility.

I'm more intimidating than before being taller in my weight class.
And no, I will not jump up to the higher weight class.

My dream height is 6'2. I will never reach it without looking like SySop and that's not my intention.

What's your dream height?

Edit Post

If you do 5CM on your femurs, you can stand at 6'2 in the right pair of shoes. That's not bad! Don't let people keep you from following your dreams just because they call you crazy. If your current height bothers you enough that you're willing to endure the financial cost and complications, after already knowing what to expect after going through LL once, then by all means, you deserve it as much as anyone else!

You only get one life. Go for what you know will make you happy. Don't live for others. If you want more LL again, pick a good surgeon and be extra mindful of proportions.

In my opinion, no one notices bad proportions when you're standing. It's while sitting down that a short torso and really long legs become apparent.

Judo will be very dangerous for you bc of the higher knees. It means your breaking point will be higher up and much easier to suffer trauma bc of O'goshi or other leg throws.

I've done lots of Ne Wasa before and trained with the world champion but it's a huge risk doing judo post LL.
It's impossible to gain enough strength to stand against the force put on your legs if you happen to get your leg locked and then thrower on it.
Either your tibia break really bad or you'll need a total knee replacement.

I'm not trying to burst your dreams or anything but I hold a higher belt in judo as well and have seen terrible leg breakage in competitions. These guys weighed 90-110kg and were strong as no one you ever met.
Imagine having longer limbs. They'll break much easier.

Starting in standing position is very dangerous.
On your knees is safer but be careful the first year now.
