dear owner of this account (fightjapanrc)..

the term is CLIFF NOTES .. not CRIB notes. they are called CLIFF notes because the company that originally made them, and still does to this day, is called Cliff something er other Incorporatd etc you see. just wanted to point it out so you can advance in your english language skills. I assume English is not your native language. If it is, I apologize!!

Hello Runtetang,

In US slang crib notes are special notes students use to cheat on exams. It has nothing to do with Cliff notes. Out of curiosity, does the narrator sound like a non native English speaker?

I'm surprised how interesting that was.

Thanks. I am trying to tell small stories well. The camera work is terrible (I have no formal training) but I try to tell a good story that is also a bit intellectual and informative. That's the goal in any case.

lol, i hate that shit, man. especially when you come from a wrestling background and you're used to wearing shoes and then judo is barefoot so you get burns and bumps and broken toes all the time. Most nagging injuries ever.
