>>196063Learn left handed techniques and come in on their left. Seriously, if you can get down even just two left sided throws like Osoto or Tai you'll be leagues above many of your opponents for the simple fact that many people don't anticipate an ambidextrous player.
>>196082I can do Kata Guruma from both sides, maybe I'll add Osoto, but it'll take a long time to develop. What about gripping? I'm uncomfortable with 50/50 grips hence why I use my RvR gripping (inside bicep, collar) as it really shuts down their offense.What about RvL? The only one I know is when we both have each other's lapel with our dominant hand and just fishing for the sleeve grip in the typical Kenka yotsu fashion.
>>196083Use the same bicep grip technique you use conventionally. Just mirror your techniques. I like to shoot for an under hook with my left arm and over hook with my right, to perform a left-sided Osoto or tai Otoshi I'll just throw my right under and my left over.

This nigga changed his name to "Showtime". I think I have a new jonidan favorite.
when will this faggot fight again? I like his style and he definitely beat Sean, but when is he gonna defend that title against the Bugman?
izzy mad cus hes actually african
>>195894>305Is UFC finally bringing in the Titanweight Weightclass?
>>195798>>195894I hate Izzy and and think that he's overrated, I also love DDP, but he absolutely drops DDP because DDP is sloppy. Izzy is a master at counterstriking.
>>196025He was, but after getting KO'd he's gunshy now
>>196027No he really isn't, unless Dricus bombs him pretty fast, he's going to win and be champ again
Grappling causes skin infections
>>195987because you're paying for a service, just like how you don't need to wash your own dishes at a restaurant or the toilets at school
>>195994Doing that it's part of the "martial art" experience
>>195996No it's part of an ego tripping hierarchical grift where a business owner brainwashed paying customers to maintain his propertyDoing chores is strictly reserved for people who aren't paying so they bartered their time to be use as currency insteadSuch as a club where everyone is there pretty much on a volunteer basis, or whatever modest dues collected are for purchasing shared equipment or renting the spaceNot when it's a fucking for profit business

Smile and ignore his advice.
if its just one parent with one kid then just bench that kid the whole practice

I has job security because nobody had my skill setSo like for example I had a group with 20something 7-11 year Olds in it and I made them all stand in a line at the beginning and I said there's a lot of you in here and only one of me, so there won't be any warnings, if you don't listen you're out and that's itWell 2 seconds later 2 boys are wrestling on the ground so they were made an example of and banished immediatelyThen their affluent Karen moms complained to me about how its unfair and they bring there kids here specifically for class and they're working moms and they're just kids. And I said you know who else are kids? The 20 other ones in the room that listened to what I was saying
Not sure if this is supposed to go on /xs/ or /sp/, but what do you think of the sport? All I see on here is HEMA.I'm trying to get into it and I'm looking to pick up some gear. I probably want to fence Epee. Any recommendations? The club has gear, but a lot of it is gross and sometimes not working, especially for left handed stuff.
>>195101Clueless idiot award
>>132823Couldn't modern oly fencing go back to it's classical fencing rules thoe?
>>195652yes, we should have women's fencing require dresses again. also instant red card if your hand comes off your hip

- What is ESSENTIAL to have and to understand regarding Self Defense?- What is the best Martial Art or the combination of Martial Arts for Self Defense?
>>195615This is a moot, misleading question. And everything lies in asking the right question.And the question here is "what martial arts best suits ME AND MY BODY?". Get it now?
>>195616Random bullshit and road rage violence can happen everywhere. Don't fool yourself
>>195787100%, absolutely fair. Just to be clear, in no way am I saying "don't train" or "it's OK to be complacent if you're middle class". I'm just saying that managing lifestyle risk factors is way more effective than fightin' good. In regards to road rage stuff specifically, have a quality vehicle with good suspension, good brakes, and plenty of power. Keep it maintained. Have a CCW and a high quality holster. Put a couple thousand rounds through it. Attend a Shivworks course. All this has a significant (but not insurmountable) economic barrier for entry.I dunno, I guess my point is just, don't underestimate the scope of the problem. Learning to fight good and owning weapons is awesome and everyone should do it, but you're still gonna get got if you live near trouble. People buy a gun, drop in the glove box, and think they're safe. Or they train up to be a pretty good boxer or whatever and think "boom, done and dusted, I am un-victim-izable".
>>195806Most countries don't allow concealed carry. Tbh I wouldn't even worry about training half as much if I could just carry a small Glock or pepper spray/ shotgun for home defenseYes a lot of it is situational awareness, de-escalate but don't look like a victim Sometimes nicer areas tend to have more home invasions and burglaries. I read about several here where the victim was a meek family man and he got beaten up whilst his family were tied up. I've also seen footage of home invasions where a good 1-2 to the intruders coming through the door made them revaluate their decisions...But at the end of the day if enough people want to hurt you, you're getting hurt. I don't care if you're MMA heavy weight champion with a concealed carry, two guys with baseball bats who sucker hit you, and it's bye-bye

Parkour thread. Where are you at with your training? How have you been working around the limits of weather and lockdowns? How much do you apply the utilitarian Hébertist mindset of being strong to be useful to your training routines?Freerunners can post, too. Maybe even gymnasts and trickers if you don't get your own thread up and running.original thread >>1236
>>194879I assume it means traditional utilitarian parkour, as opposed to flamboyant freerunning. Do you have an example of where you saw the term?
>>194955no
How do I do parkour without drawing attention to myself or getting arrested?
>>194999If a spot is too hot for you, find somewhere more chill and build confidence there

Weekly Debate Post: Skiing vs. Snowboarding!
>>194249I respect it. Dont think Ive ever seen a boarder on that chair except on a pow day though. The volkswagen sized moguls usually scare them all away kek.>>194277I have, pretty recently actually. Not quite >>191034 tier but close enough. Best time of my life.If you're a beginner you could try the seasonal resort employee bum approach. Some resorts offer cheap but shit employee housing and free lessons and passes as benefits. Main cons are you're working full time and whether you get the job or not is entirely dependent on how many argies and aussies they can convince to work poverty wages on J1 visas. I didnt do this but its one optionCant really say much about what its like without knowing which parts of it you're most curious about.
>>194293>>194296the employee housing was what I was gonna bank on, but failing that I have a bit of a cushion I could live offif I couldn't get a job at a resort I'd be content living near one that I can get to with public transport and working separately from itI guess just generally curious about how enjoyable it is?I'm pretty keen on it because the idea of living on a resort and being literally right at such a fun physical activity would get me to spend time away from the internet, which I think I desperately needI'm doing my community college online so going from so much computer time to so much offline time would be lovely
>>194237>100% of boarders will never touch bumpsSee you in the trees friendo
>>194299I enjoyed it a ton. Met a lot of cool people and I will definitely still be looking back on those days when I'm a vegetable. I definitely wouldnt do it my way again though, which was mostly couchsurfing. It wasnt great but I loved it because I loved the sport. The way you're talking about will definitely be easier, but much more expensive. I would say at least find out if you like it first and find ways to lower the cost before doing anything. Even if everything goes right and you still skimp a lot anyways, it will be very hard to break even and you will probably have to break into some of your savings. As a beginner, I might even recommend doing it in a place with a ski area, but maybe a bit off the beaten path. Colorado is great and all, but unless you're there for the expensive tourist shit or you can ski the expert terrain it wont make much of a difference in your ski experience imo.
>>194277I've booked a one way ticket to Japan next winter. Applied for the working holiday visa so I can teach there. When the season ends I'm just gonna head south and see how long I can live on the rest of my budget in Asia.
