~~Actually got the title fucking right edition~~>Where do I start?People typically start in the gym and branch off outdoors and find their niche, be it bouldering, trad, sport or a mixture of the above. Some never leave the gym at all. Ultimately it doesn't matter - just get started and enjoy yourself.>How fit do I have to be to start? Do I have to be able to do x amount of pull-ups?Being light, strong and flexible helps at the higher levels but climbing is open to almost anyone and is fairly intuitive to most. Even if your body is feeble and weak now, you will develop strength over time by virtue of just climbing. Climbing is a holistic sport and success often hinges upon many factors, not just strength and power, but having these qualities definitely helps when you breach into the higher grades.>What shoes do I buy?If you're starting out in the gym, don't worry too much: get some snug shoes without dead space that don't cause you lasting pain. Some people (such as the famed shoe designer Heinz Mariacher) recommend wearing soft shoes when you're starting out -- this makes sense since your footwork will probably suck and the increased feedback will pay dividends over time. You really don't need fancy expensive shoes when you're starting out, but certain shoe properties help send harder problems (e.g. stiff shoes for standing on tiny granite edges or soft shoes for sandstone/gritstone smears).Here are some useful resources for sizing:>https://sizesquirrel.com/>https://rockrun.com/blogs/the-flash-rock-run-blog/rock-climbing-shoe-sizing-guideComment too long.

>>195944>Because there’s been studies showing you gain more finger strength that’s translatable to edges of all sizes if you hang with more weight on a bigger edge than using less weight on a smaller edge.Sauce?
>>195760I believe they are from the 90s, yes. I have no idea about the weight... they're pretty hefty I guess. I left one on the wall a couple days ago so if you're in red rock you can go check it out for yourself.
>>195944holy lul. you really think top ifsc athletes are regularly weighting up on 20mm?>hurrr I've listened to climbing podcasts featuring mediocre climbers so I now know everything about how the professionals trainnewsflash, there are virtually no comprehensive, meaningful, widely-accepted climbing studies. Lattice Training is leading the way for compiling a database of climber metrics, and yet no one on the original team had any credentials AND they're yet to publish any research of substance.
>>195944You're confusing the transferability of grip types with edge size (train just a few essential grip types -> most all climbing grip types benefit from the training). Not so with edge size, if you want to pull on 6mm for more than a second, all the weighted-full-pad training in the world isn't going to get you there
>>195944>Learn how to listen to podcasts, YouTube videos and read climbing studies anonNo fucking way anyone would earnestly say this
Tall half white half mexican freak girl savagely beat me up in muay thai class today. I'm 5'6 while she's easily 6' plus. My nose was bleeding earlier today, one tooth from my upper jaw is loose, while my sides are still hurting from her roundhouse kicks. She humiliated me in front of everyone. I couldn't do shit, just fucking overpowered. She kicked my ass while wearing the most girly clothes possible, a pink gym skirt barely covering her asscheeks, black top with visible sports bra straps, and pink gloves. Our instructor fucking hates me, and I think he intentionally paired me with her to give her a good practice punchbag. She looks sexy though, when she bends, her ass looks shapely.
>>175051why? this is not a woman problem, this is a bad gym culture problem.the girls at my gym aren't dumb fucks and they understand the consequences of going hard. I've dropped a couple with liver shots, bitches be tough as nails, they get up and keep fighting.

S&G 6730 Internals EditionA thread dedicated to the art of lock manipulation and the art of lockpicking. Good resources regarding the art and skill of lockpicking and primarily safe manipulation.-https://www.docdroid.net/sVRijBi/the-art-of-manipulation-pdf -https://youtu.be/GhfDJIXsirg?si=0j6-LcvH63sDuqII-https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1mdjQBV_-Jv2lf9QZ4chNtW656EOVXzl Thanks for stopping by!
OP here, I don't know if this can be classified as an extreme sport but it a very niche sport.
While competitive, /diy/ would probably be a better fit. In the vein of chainsaw and wood chopping stuff.
>>193480That's probably for the better, I'll just repost this thread there. If the mods choose to delete this that wouldn't be a bother.
>Boxing is useless in a gun f-ACKSucker punching works too well
So if the defender had a gun on him aswell and shot the attacker in self defence, it's all good. But if the defender drops the cunt and then boots him in the face to keep him down and out, that's on the defender and he becomes an attacker. Those rules are retarded
>>189353Being rich is not for niggas. It's for 1%.
>>184594Not in Brazil, not in that situation. The police know the people who do that are desperate animals who would eat the meat off your bone to live another day. Beautiful non-telegraphed, whip fast right hand btw.
>>186627Bro it's Brazil, you are allowed to run down motorcycle bandits with your car
>>189353>'MuricaRent-free. That happened in Brazil
This will be a thread for people of all grappling disciplines (judo, wrestling, BJJ, etc.) to come and discuss or ask about technique. Here, we can avoid the retarded debates and help each other out with youtube links, instructional suggestions, troubleshooting ideas, etc.Any serious grappler likely has questions from outside their main discipline. A judo guy starting BJJ might have some questions, or a BJJ guy trying to get better at wrestling. This is NOT a self defense circlejerk thread, or a A vs. B circlejerk thread. Start with something like >discipline>years of experience>technique question or problemI train at one of the most popular gyms in the world right now and I'm an instructional addict. I'll do my best to point people to the right resources.
>>193723heh, they even discuss closed guard in this video too at 12:00
Hey guys, I'm a BJJ blue belt looking to compete before I get my purple belt next year. I feel my ground game is pretty good both offensively and defensively. I've been catching brown belts and purple belts at other gyms at open mats and whatnot, but usually only if I'm able to get on top or effectively lure them into traps on the bottom.I'm looking to maximize my offense and I've concluded that I need to work on wrestling up and takedowns. Any good instructionals that'll help me with what I need?
>>195020Takedowns are a pretty big topic, but you can likely find plenty of good stuff on YouTube and from asking wrestlers/coaches at your gym. Basic stance, posture, and grip fighting will take you pretty far. Just be mindful that there is a clock running, and if you spend that whole time bullshitting on the feet you might not have an opportunity to score or submit. This could be a huge problem if you’re down on points. For wrestling up, Nicky Ryan’s instructional and Craig Jones’s Power Bottom are pretty good. You will definitely need some good front headlock defense though. You should start rolling with points in mind. I notice that a lot of blue belts will casually give up position when rolling, which is a terrible habit if you plan on competing. Get on top, and stay on top. Do not let anyone get a free sweep on you. You should have a few sweep, submission, and passing options that you know well. Some sort of plan will make a huge difference.
>>195020I want to help but I don't have anything to tell you except I truly believe all the pritt and chris paines shit breaks the sport of jiujitsu in a way that makes it completely trivial to win against most people
This is what happens when Judo faces against pure BJJ but scooting faggotryPotteryI think she even ended it with a kimura I thinkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5Gz6GutqIg
>Let me tell you first, I've been around.
>>193281Dun you eber do dis
>>193281I dunno that sounds pretty basedEspecially if he beat up one of the bullies
>>193281I fail to see the problem with this. Are you mad he gave you the dangity dangity dang or something?
Say what you want about corruption and fight fixing, but Pride used Bas and Rampage perfectly for promotion in the West. Just the right combination of violent and goofy. Almost literal cartoob characters that appealed to everyone for the same reasons.
>>189222Like 3/4s of Europe were vicious martial people until they recently softened up
>5'8 man vs 5'8 woman
>>190375Man are built even at brain level for fighting,Women arent,Even if you were paraplegic without one arm and a woman has a bat there is no reason you couldnt beat her
>>190377Sure, bud. What are your martial arts credentials?
>>190380Fjcking your mom
>>190377In that vid a girl is beating a healthy adult male tho
>>190377So your ancestor was the guy who legalized this?
If I go to a boxing gym and I specifically tell my trainer I want to be good at the peekaboo style, how retarded will I look?
>>190188Same reason everyone wants to try the philly shell, to feel like le anime protagonist
>>190200>>190201Not bad bruv
>>190166If he’s not a boomer he’ll probably have no idea what you’re even talking about
>>190166If you just get there and ask for that you will get look at like how my wife looks at me after I finish under 5s. If you wait some time and then make suggestions to your coach>should i do this?>coach i kinda like this, how can i do this but better?then you'll probably be fine.I specifically told my Muay Thai instructor long guard felt more comfortable and intuitive for me after a few classes and he just said "alright, let's work on it" but we never stopped working on other guards
>>190166The new meme now is soviet style
>Just Another proof Boxing(SUCKER PUNCH) is the best fighting technique
>>189184that's not a sucker punch though
>>189184There is not a single sucker punch in that webm.
>>189184all of those guys had knives if you pay attention btw
>>189184Not a sucker bro, get it right. Dude was squared up with him, full eye contact.
>>189466This dude's a cunt. The other guys are deescalated as fuck, and he literally turns his back on them, and then proceeds to make a 180 turn just to elevate a regular sucker punch into a SUPER sucker punch. I mean, if he had simply punched them while he was yelling in their face, that would have been bad enough, but he turned his back just to make it even LESS telegraphed? What kind of sociopathic shit is that lmao
Did Dagestanis debunk striking?
>>187963>Khabib was going toe to toe with Connor on the feet for exampleI think it debunked advanced striking. I believe Conor practiced striking more than Khabib and he looks like a better striker on paper but a haymaker to his face hurts him just like it hurts a mere mortal. Same with Adesanya vs Strickland. Izzy was a kickboxing champion and lost to a guy who ordinarily punched his face and kicked his belly. On the other hand, Jones' advanced striking always worked, even against Gustafsson who was a good boxer.
>>188049I don't think it really debunked anything. I think fighting has a rock-paper-scissors-ish aspect to it, where some people can give you a lot of trouble because they're simply a bad matchup for you. The power scaling isn't linear, to put it one wayThe Dagestanis are dangerous because they're all well-rounded and dangerous both as strikers and as wrestlers, meaning they can give the "bad matchup" to anyone
>>187961Most dagestanis fighters are "bred aristocracy" for wrestling style fighting, they are born and raised in an environment where you wrestle your whole youth with an effective military combat system while being in a high altitude environment the whole time.That being said, that is the perfect match for strikers that are weaker at wrestling, prime example is khabib vs connor, they just wear them out and close the distance while not engaging fully to avoid getting ko'd.That being said, a competent matchup like khabib vs gsp would result in GSP smoking khabibAlso account that most of those dagestanis with good winrates were usually paired up against strikers that get shat on when brought down
>>187961Not at all. They are on average, very hard men, their skill floor is higher than the average man from pretty much any other country. But their skill ceiling is the same, they aren't superhuman. Khabib and Islam are great because they are exceptionally gifted. Who else is as dominant as them, no one. The more the Caucasians fight, the more we see they're more or less on level with fighters from anywhere else.
>>187961If anything, they debunked BJJ. There was a time when BJJ was king in the cage but with the Dagestanis it's become clear that fence wrestling and folkstyle leg and wrist rides are far more effective. The smothering, hold-down style is really demoralizing and exhausting for anyone to contend with. High level fighters can't just rely on knowing some good submissions anymore.
If 100 random men and 100 random women were chosen to fight in mixed sex mma with legal groin shots, how many women would win?
>>186879Your chart is rendered completely meaningless by pic related in this post >>186762As much as you pathetic faggots hate real men, the bottom line is that biology created us to be physically superior to women when it comes to everything combat and strength related, and no amount of pretense will ever change that fact.
>>186879Even if you take a man and a woman that somehow have the same exact size, weight, and strength/speed/athleticism, the man is still very likely to have a significantly faster reaction speed, as well as higher aggression (while the woman is probably going to be more meek and more easily discouraged).>>186752If by pure chance you get a woman that's trained in an effective martial art and you put her against an untrained man that's smaller than her, she can win (some martial arts or techniques would give her decent chances against a larger man as well).But considering how rare those women are, I think that the matchup is very unlikely to happen.This randomness element makes the discussion pretty useless desu, since anything really can happen, even extremely unlikely events like the 100 women being pro MMA fighters and the 100 men being the weakest 100 able-bodied men in the world.If you had a competition where the men and women were paired with a respective opponent of similar size/weight/strength/skill/etc (one or more of these) it would make more sense and lead to a discussion that's not so speculative, but then the men would win pretty much every time (although it would be interesting to see how things play out when only one of the aforementioned factors is removed, to see how each advantage actually helps you fight).
guys did you know that the biggest housecat is larger than the smallest dog?really makes you think
>>186752Possibly 1 woman out of the 100, I would give that like a 2% chance or lower compared to 98+% chance of all 100 men winning.
>>186752They would wear a cup so not that many
Is this legit?

>>190810You're wrong about LINE. It's far removed from the MMA 101 shit they teach now and was much better suited for its intended purpose
>>192945The only people who think line is good are boomers who learned it in the 80s but never actually had to test it against people who do actual combat sports
>>192946Weird that you would attack a position that I didn't claim while knowing nothing about LINE and have doubtly ever competed in combat sports
>>191207>H2H in the AF SERE program is surprisingly serious for so short a course. But their instructors are not D.I. like army & marines. Their whole job is SERE.
