I know the japanese tourism and animation industry have a lot to thank toriyama for, but something underrated is how much the martial arts industry has to thank him forfact is it wouldn't be nearly as popular of a hobby as it is if this show never existed since it's the thing that inspired so many kids to get involvedso ITT we will discuss all things related to our training and self improvement and helping each otherexercises, training routines, diets, motivation, etc.work hard, study well, and eat and sleep plenty
Having a "point-break/transformation" to win a fight doesn't happen in reality, not even in the most exciting ones
>>194392I developed a skill that was able to temporarily enhance my physical attributes in a pinch, but it took time and practice cultivatingI would think about something that caused me a sense of existential dread like trying to comprehend eternityessentially I'd look into the void and induce a panic attack, but I became able to trigger it quicker and quicker through practice until I effectively gave myself the ability to flood my body with adrenaline at will

I'm too self conscious to bring myself to go a local boxing gym. Never thrown an actual punch at a human in my life apart from my piece of shit mother when I was 14 years old (the cunt wouldn't stop beating me and had to be taught a lesson). But I've been watching some Chris Eubank Senior videos recently and now I'm hooked. How does a person get started on a budget? Also I can't have any hanging bags, I rent so can't damage the walls or ceiling.
>>195111Is making money with boxing your only goal? How silly.In that case you've already won, because you found other, better means of making money that don't involve getting punched in the head for the enjoyment of strangers.>its not like I can get goodI guarantee you can become better than you are right now, you no-training faggot. Fucking bizarre, I don't understand you. Do you want to do boxing or not? It's perfectly valid to train as an amateur hobbyist, in fact the overwhelming majority of people training are amateur hobbyists. Only a small portion of people who train are competitors, and an even smaller fraction of those are paid professionals.If you don't wanna train, fine, do something else. But don't let fear of embarrassment prevent you from doing something you want to do, and then pine away over misspent time.
>>195162>you found other, better means of making money uhNo I really want to do it but I know Ill never be good and going to a gym is literal torture. Im fucking terrified of people
>>195288Don't know what to tell ya, chief. I'm not a psychologist. "I'll never be good" is not a valid reason to not do something. "It's scary" is also not a valid reason not to do something. If you want to do something, then do it. If you want to do something, then do it.
>>195291You just don't get it. Its too scary. And I want to be good. It's I can't be then there's no point
>>195328What do want him to say? Oh yeah mate you should just stay in your room and shadowbox you'll be "good". The questions been answered and clearly the problem is deeper than just logistics.[spoiler]I'm rooting for you. I'm hoping you take this new interest as an opportunity to better yourself.[spoiler]
I used to do martial arts for like 6ish years in highschool but had to stop. But I kind of miss it and want to try it again but can't really go to a dojo due to lack of money and driving ability.What are some good martial arts that I could learn from home relatively inexpensively. I don't really want to learn to fight and mostly just want to learn katas and actually exercise again
>>195177nope sorry i dont particularly do it i just know that it is suggested along side thnigs like yoga for low impact long term health, best bet would be to start by looking for the largest youtube videos that are beginner and do different videos till you feel pretty good and then look to buy books/online courses for advanced and more technical stuff. if possible just pirate things
Muay Thai or Kickboxing basics or learn traditional martial arts like Karate or Kung Fu is fun as fuck to do at home. You can even have fun and do full weeb shit like this guy:>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxenkaB7HWQ&t=195sThen do katas/taolu. I think the best thing to do is you will still go to a gym/dojo and learn the basics of a system then just do that at home.
Some karate styles made documentaries showcasing their style's basics, warm-ups, stretching exercises, katas, supplementary exercises, power training, and history. The problem with learning these things online is that they can be dangerous. Get strong for a week then get crippled because of improper practice fucked up your ligaments or your heart or something. Specially that Sanchin kata where you tension your whole body while breathing in a specific way and in a rhythm matching your movements. >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTmCpD6FA7I&t=176s>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RmCzJ0m1Xs&t=372sThere's probably better stuff out there that can teach you in how to do it safely. Better learn the basics first before solo practicing at home for exercise and fun.

>>194982Tai chi is really good to prepare for shaolin. If you're not yoga flexible then it's not gonna be for you. Tai chi is a basic movement art that can spread into she shaolin fighting styles, and it's one of the styles itself.Really can't learn any shaolin without a teacher to know what you're doing and put it all together. Their forms are a guide, though it looks kinda dumb to most.Can't really learn wing chun either, all the wing chun sites on the internet aren't really scams, they're more or less for people that have taken them and do it time to time, or moved or something and there isn't a teacher around.I could suggest tae kwon do, very good to get kicks down, or maybe the traditional muay tai? Lots of running and strong legs will give you a slight advantage also.

Why do KO rates differ so much?
>>190348Source for this graph? I had researched this before & got much larger numbers for UFC. Around 60%. For this graph to be true I am thinking it must be meaning only standing KOs?
>>190353I think you only researched KOs and submissions without including decisions
>>190348Slightly different rulesets favoring either striking or grappling styles. Additionally they may draft talents from different backgrounds, like ONE being a Muay Thai promotion dressed as MMA.
>>190348>MatchmakingIf you delibretly make lopsided matchups there are more likely gonna be finishes>level of competitionFor regional shows like LFA and CW, there are a lot of guys making their debut or very early in their career. So a lot of guys who haven't realied yet the sport isn't for them because they tend to quit, or have bad defence, or are naturally chinny.>what kind of fighters promotions are looking forThis is more so a theory to explain why Bellator is so low, the UFC generally looks for and is more favorable to finishers (look at how Jon Fitch go cut after one loss, but Carlos Condit stayed on the roster after 5). Meanwhile Bellator tries to get whatever other high level fighters that aren't in the UFC. Which includes UFC reject that were let go for being boring, like Phil Davis, Ryan Badder, Corey Anderson and the aformention Jon Fitch.
Nearly all street fights end with a KO/TKOProfessional fights don't end they way as muchThe correlation would suggest the higher the skill level the lower the instances of a KOAnd on its face that makes sense because defense is an easier skill than offense so although offensive capabilities increase with pros the defensive capabilities increase more

>>194174Brazilian qt Nicholy Machado skates Aeons and she's hot af.
Went to a skate park with glossy, polished concrete for the first time (my local has much rougher surface). my wheels felt really slippy, didn't feel comfortable at all doing tight turns or riding transition. Slipped out a few times and ate shit. I ride flat 60mm 92a, for reference. Should I be using harder/smaller wheels on that kind of surface or what?
>>195031You need softer, grippier wheels.
>>195044actually I just realised I'm on 83a not 92a with this frame. softer than that seems like it'd be useless for any other surface. guess I'll still to my local park...
>>193670Get on fb and see if you can find a local group, I did the same ended up finding some quad skaters that skate park. Ones pretty close to my skill level, brings back the energetic feels and gets me keen push myself instead of just mindlessly rolling around missing my skating buddy
But at the same time I also want to know how to throw a punch without looking like a retard. Am I going to have to sign up and pay for 2 different classes?
>>195063I am that guy and I kinda bailed on this thread for a bit because it sure seems like I'm wrong. Maybe I've just been lucky and come up in a good gym, but I've had no major injuries in years of grappling and competing and my current gym has had no major injuries as long as I've been here. We're not a mcdojo, either. We have a strong comp team and a few amateur MMA guys. I guess what I'm trying to say is that any activity is going to have risk and while grappling may have more risk than running, you can mitigate that risk by how you train and who you train with. The spazzes in our gym are quickly taught how to not spaz or asked to leave if they are being dangerous. The higher level comp guys only roll with other comp guys or know to chill the fuck out when they're rolling with someone new or a hobbyist. I fully trust everyone I roll with to have my best interests in mind and even in the harder rolls I don't feel in danger. I've caught knees and elbows by accident and done the same to others but, thankfully, nothing serious besides some bruises.It definitely sucks that you got cracked by someone's knee and I'm sorry you got hurt that way but it does seem like you've got some shit training partners. I've dropped into gyms where I felt like everyone was trying to just "win" and didn't care about their partners and I didn't like it, so I'm sorry this is your experience.I'm definitely biased by my positive experiences with grappling and it seems you're biased by your negative ones. I still think grappling is the lowest impact legit martial art that most anyone can get into if they train smart. I've had way more minor injuries and headaches from training striking than BJJ but that's only my experience. Anyway, hope you get better and sorry you got clocked like that, bro.
>>195084Look at this guy being uncharacteristically gentlemanly around hereHe just might make it
>>195097Sorry, forgot we're on 4chan.Fuck you faggot, git gud.
>>195071>PRP and stem cell injections, meniscus dissections, knee and hip replacements, ACL reattachments, labrum repairs, mufuggin back surgery, arthritisDude if you had all of these you are either extremely unlucky or trained poorly (overtrained, spazzed, ignored injuries). Injuries are a known risk but I know pretty serious black belts with only a knee or shoulder issue (that could be mitigated without surgery)I also know people who have torn knee ligaments because they stepped off a large curb incorrectly.
Bjj has many positions where your spine is a second away from having 200lbs of idiot smashed into it.
>welcome to the gym anon, today we're learning [technique], [counter1], [counter2], and [counter3]>time to roll>opponent launches [technique]>heh, no problem, [counter1]>suddenly [counter1counter] to instant tap>repeat>get fucking smoked nonstop for an hour>repeat 3x/wk for a monthWhy am I being set up for failure? Why am I giving these assholes money? When will they teach me the secret techniques? And why do I keep getting hit in the nuts "accidentally?" And why are protective cups forbidden? Am I enrolled in in a gay BDSM dungeon disguised as a martial arts studio?
now that the retard has burned himself out the adults can start talking againeffectively what it comes down to is just because a person has a skill doesn't mean they're good at relaying the information, and since most athletes fall into the category of low IQ individuals the only way they can teach something is to say "just look at what I do and then copy it bro"do yourself a favor and stop listening to what the "instructor" is telling you to do all the time, you need to be focused on personal skill goals you set for yourself. If you're forced to do static karate drilling and kata the way most bjj schools do and that's your only choice then just play along, then use the open mat time for personal development which is where you'll see actual improvements
>>194719>You will learn much faster and much more completely with your understanding If you are the one making the discoveriesI feel like there's a middleground between the brazil monkey see monkey do approach and the hands-off approach. Mindless repetition doesn't build critical thinking, but fumbling around in the dark with the occasional hint isn't leveraging the expert's knowledge efficiently.
>>194881 It shouldn't be fumbling around in the dark, the instructor should be putting specific constraints on the player to Force a desired behavior to emerge I think it's really a more active teaching style because the instructions will change depending on how the class is behaving As an example I will give an exercise to play with Then we bring it in and I ask everybody is there something they learned during that process, or is there something you maybe had trouble with during that which stands out to you? And it's a group brain storm at that point where students can mention hey I realized putting my hand over here was a really effective frame. Great and someone else can say oh I was having trouble moving towards the back because of where his knee wasOk anyone have an idea about what he can do there?"His right arm is free so try posting the elbow to give yourself a better angle?" Ok let's go back and do the exercise again, keep in mind what we just talked about aboutDoing it this way is immediate feedback dozens of times in a short amount of time
>>194498I bet you can't fight for shit and are a DYEL as well.

Skydiving is the lamest "sport" ever conceived. There is no competitive aspect unlike basically every other sport. It's literally just drop from a plane and them pull the parachute. Obviously, there is some preparation that needs to go on but you don't have to be a peak athlete to skydive (and there's no competition so no reason to improve once you know the fundamentals.) And it lasts for literally about 10 seconds or less then it's over. The disciplines that are actually designed for competition like accuracy have almost no entrants and/or viewers even by extreme sports standards because it's a shitty spectator sport anyways. The only benchmark that exists is "muh records." Also, BASE is a blood sport lmao. But skydiving seems easy once you are competent at it. Unless I'm missing something since I started finding out about it literally yesterday.
>>191718Skydiver here. Very few people in the sport 'compete.Formation skydiving, be it belly or vertical, is pretty competitive but repetitive. Freestyle is nice to watch once, but then its boring. Wingsuit comps are even more boring.Swooping comps are exciting, but it's like racing, most people are watching for the crashes.For the average skydiver, you want 50-60 seconds of adrenaline in free fall, mostly tracking or having fun, and then possibly another 6-10 seconds of adrenaline if you choose to swoop.
>>191779I'm going to do it for first time. My ultimate goal is wingsuit flying. How difficult is it to do wingsuit and is it thrilling ?
>>193018Not very hard, you will need a minimum of 200 jumps to get into wingsuit flying, and generally a lot of dropzones have a dedicated wingsuit group that is pretty tight. What part of the US are you in? I can direct you to the best dropzone
>>191718>no reason to improve once you know the fundamentalsThe only people who think this way are A license freshlings who think all the other freshlings are fucking up the dive flow and jump straight into freeflying because it makes them feel more advanced than they actually are. Being a good belly jumper takes hundreds of jumps.>BASE is a blood sport lmaoOnly if you're an idiot. The point of BASE jumping isn't to enjoy 3 seconds of free fall and avoid hitting any rocks on the way down to landing. People like being out in nature and exploring. Scouting out a landing area and poking around cliffs for hazards is part of the complete experience. If your idea of getting into BASE jumping is to go from being a couch potato to jumping off rocks you're in for a bad time. The people who really enjoy BASE jumping are the ones that would have enjoyed being out there even if they weren't BASE jumping. The jump is one part of the experience.

A match beetween someone trained In BJJ, judo, Wrestling,... vs some nigga in plate armor without weapons.how would it go?
>>189811the real lesson is some people don't train. and if you have never been hit with a full body weight throw before...
>>190101Believe or not the guy doing the throw ended up more injured. The guy who got dropped had the wind knocked out of him but the guy doing the throw was concussed by the pommel strikes to the head.
>>190096I wouldn't call the 17th century modern
>>190102Why would you lie? Those pummel strikes had no structure behind them and even then were hitting the mask.
>>190096It was never as clean as it is now though, most modern joint lock submissions are from late 1800s and on. In wrestling it was mainly just trying to pull something until it breaks, there was no technique to submissions. Even the toe hold which was probably one of the more common 1800s wrestling submissions was just pulling the foot in one direction when the opponent was turtled up. The armbar as we know it was only introduced to America around 1905 or something like that. So while submissions were around for thousands of years, they really weren't around to be used on battlefields, especially in Europe where there was superior weaponry and armor, they would mainly use a takedown to use their weapon to kill someone on the ground if they were armored, if they were unarmored then it doesn't even get to a grapple.
