How dangerous is head squish by a very strong man? Would it work in a real fight?
>>188283>lol, maybe if you're playing with the KO'd bodyWhat if someone is mostly immobile due to being on the bottom?
>>188275If a man strong enough to crush your head like that gets his hands on your in a fight, he has many options that are much simpler than squeezing your skull until it pops. I'm sure it's possible, it just isn't very practical.
>>188278How are you so bad? Ass
>>188288> I'm sure it's possibleWhy?

Terrified of heights but I'm going to force myself to go skydiving next year. Convince me I won't die.
>>180291What's swooping? Is that birds flying into you? Do skydivers ever die from birdstrikes?
>>180477Whatever tickles your pickle, ya meathead.
>>191834swooping is basically initiating a turn low to the ground to gain as much speed as possible before pulling up. If you do it right you can go 40-105mph across the groundIf you do it wrong you can do 40-95mph into the groundvideo here:https://youtu.be/zJf_ZL5nPuc?t=44
Any fun jumpers in here? Any good boogies coming up?
>>188148lmao the dude who crashed the hot air balloon high as fuck on ketamine
Did we jump timelines again? How the fuck is this actually happening? Am I being fucking bamboozled?
>>190538>>>/vt/
>>191098Yes...and no decision either. KO or go home...Just as an aside, tyson fought with 18oz gloves for most of his professional career. So 16s ain't shit.
>>190538they will dance around each other like a couple of fuckin fairies for 10 rounds then collect their fat checks. No one will get knocked out. Jake Paul will continue to be a twat. the end.
>>190538>Jake PaulThis guy is low IQ and has a hair lip right?I'm not the only one that notices this, right?Guy seems like a righteous retard, although not as half as bad of a scammer as his brother.
>>191451You say this like I’m gone going to pirate it like every other fight lol
Was thinking about Strickland’s remarks about Road House being accurate in that 90% of fighters wind up as bouncers after their career has finished. What /xs/ sport career has the best base for post retirement
This thread has also been made in mind that it seems most MMA fighters have a shitty afterthought of a career post-retirement. That Jake Shields has to resort to posting Holocaust denial for Twitter engagement for money just tells me how desperate things must be after it’s over. Francis was right to go for the bag
Colbozo btfo
>>192953He's very wise to go for the bag. He was elderly and aging. Should have just retired after that fury fight and left boxing fans buttflustered for years to come. But hindsight is a bitch>>192952Coaching?Open you own gym?I've noticed a lot of nobodies get picked up to coach specifics like striking or grappling. As long as they had one or two ammy fights they will be in demand. don't know what the pay is like though, I imagine not much.
>>192990>going after the bagUltimately, though there’s some joy in seeing Dana getting btfo and asshurt over it, Francis was completely right as an independent fighter to chase after fights with more money and those so happened to be outside of MMA.You’ll look back on his career and wonder what the fuss was about (he really didn’t have that many at UFC level) but he made the right decision for himself in the long run. >should have retired after FuryI disagree with this and desu I thought pursuing AJ was a very smart move. Especially the £20m payday he got from it. He could’ve fought a comatose bum like Hellenius for an easier fight. The way AJ exposed him will be interesting to see who he matches up against next >coaching etc This seems to be it but the pay must actually suck unless you’re training with elite talent. Though even that is an unknown in terms of what they pay these people to spar. MMA just seems more depressing after retirement. Plus most retire younger than most boxers (who seem to go on for longer despite the damage done)

>>192924>csu creakThat comes later. It was brand new with a massive air leak into the lowers.

>>192677Sometimes you just have to bang,I don't remember but there's a dutch kickboxing drill where you go head to head and spar in just that range without clinching. Also work your borxing bro
>>192421You’ve put me down a rabbit hole thanks for these, I’m starting to get these videos from Rizin and Breaking Down which are pure kino
>>192718i mean the range where I can see what my opponent is doing so I can guard, slip, parry, is much more comfortable for me. And how do they just let each other into range like that?
>>192744meant for>>192680
>>192718If you want to keep delving, I can also recommend KNOCK OUThttps://youtube.com/@KNOCKOUT_KBThey have some absolutely kino fights as well. One of their more popular guys is Ryusei who is very fun if you like cool technique combined with just being a little retarded sometimes.
In terms of knock out power and versatility in a fight, which one is superior? A palm strike or a punch?
>>192537And looks like he hasn't trained or worked out a day in his life.
>>192456>if you kick with your shin you will break your legSomebody tell Thailand
>>192433Depends on if you have gloves or not. I could teach you to effectively palm strike in a few days. It would take a year for you to be an effective puncher. Punches easily are more versatile. Knock outs require precision which also favors the punch.
>knock out power and versatilitypunches by far
>>192868This. If palms were actually stronger than punches everyone would use them all the time. The only advantage a palm strike has is that it’s less likely to break your hand.
Even taekwondo is better than sambo, catch wrestling, glima, sanda and lethweiIf there's no gym that teaches a martial art anywhere near you, it's not a good martial art for you. There's much higher chance your town has karate, taekwondo, bjj, judo, aikido, boxing, kickboxing, muay thai, krav maga or even slightly obscure things like freestyle or Greco Roman wrestling, kung fu or Filipino martial arts than some local stuff nobody knows outside of the country of origin. A wimpy art you can train is better than a good art you can't train.
>>190164>watch almost any MMA match and see BJJ techniquesYeah, the absolute simplest shit that children can recreate through basic mimicry. For any BJJ submission there is pretty much always an analog pathway to it via wrestling.>gloves make subs way harderOuting yourself as a larper dude. MMA gloves are open palm & there are ways to wrap hands that don't hinder grip at all. Anyone who uses this line 100% has never had their hands wrapped for MMA & has never used MMA gloves. This is total bullshit.>>190199Not that headbutts have anything really to do with grappling or are unique to wrestling, but yes, there have been many changes since the beginning that have served to artificially make submission grappling safer.>>190196>>190152Theres a lot that would fuck up grappling, but that doesn't negate the need to have a grapple game. If you're gonna get into some hypothetical self-defense debate, let me cut you off, because wrestling would still be great for moments when grappling is appropriate. But in self defense situations, Judo might be king. No one is pulling guard on concrete or asphault so BJJ is totally useless at this point.
>>190213Larping. Remove gloves and you would see even more RNC. Any retard can tell it's harder to snake your hand around someone's chin with a glove on. Try it yourself. Fucking retard. You also ignored getting reset by rounds. A grappler can fight to a dominant position and sub for an entire round and then have it reset, completely bailing out the striker.
Keep your doing your gay "brazilian jizz juggling"with your fellow plebs.I exclusively train in Wallachian toe-grappling.Elite martial art.Can't find it? Not my problem.Few.
*slams u on the ground**puts u to sleep**snaps ur arm in half (twice)*heh, nothing personnell, bjj-bro...
>>189193Senegalese wrestling is rarer than every martial art you mentioned, yet a Senegalese wrestler beat a BJJ hall-of-famer.
after analisys of over 300hours of video it was found that 96% of fights are only punching in the face/head learning boxing is the most important skill for self defense do not let anyone get close to you either, if you lose control of the distance atack first.
>>190835>be bigger, stronger, fitterUnironically invites trouble from people that want to proce something, specially with alcohol inbolved.
>>190829I didn't think anyone takes "self defence styles" seriously
>>190827>96% of fights are only punching in the face/headYou could have asked us instead of wasting 300 fucking hours. Everybody know that.
>>190829Just STFU retarded macaco.
>>190832The only real martial art is getting a gun license or other means of real self defence, everything else, from boxing to judo to mma is a sport that has about as much carryover to self defence as bodybuilding or rowing or tennis.Actually even less carryover because it teaches you tunnel vision in a fight.

thoughts on bullfighting and other bloodsports???
Mexican here, been to 2 bullfighting events in my life and leaving the animal cruelty aside (I literally don't give a shit, I love steak), it was THE MOST BORING fucking thing I've ever attended. I get it has 100 layers of rules and traditions and culture and all that fucking bullshit, whoopdy fucking doo, who cares if the event is a complete fucking snoozefest? It pisses me off knowing there are people who give a shit about it. Absolute braindead motherfuckers. And my state (Aguascalientes) is one of the biggest bullfighting state in the country. Fuck my life.
savagery for people with moorish ancestors.
Running with the bulls is better
>>189991okay now what do you think of cock fighting?
>>189639large cultural tradition, seems interesting. Bulls are stupid as fuck and they use the meat afterwards from what I hear anyways. Anyone have a video or something of a Matador killing the bull, like in the final act? I'm curious to see it, can't find footage anywhere. if you search you only get matadors getting gored by the bull instead.
Can I be still be good at martial arts if i have a bad knee?
>>191415Fix your knee. How is it bad?
https://youtu.be/jb4ZJUaVGJc?si=5AizfPk0YgWObRY5
>>191417>Illegal below brown beltMost gyms now a days start training leg locks at blue.My own gym starts at white, once they can prove they're done spazzing
>>191523It's just a holdover that then became a copeJudo said no more leglocks because in 1890 there was no such thing as arthroscopic surgery or knee replacementsSo the Brazilians didn't learn leglocks because they were removed from the syllabus before it got to themThe end result is Brazilians were bad at leglocks therefore BAN! And make up some ridiculous cope that they're 2dedly4u even though they're no more dangerous than any other submissionUnlike a choke, twisting someone's knee never killed or paralyzed themLeglocks are non-fundemental so they can wait for later on that front. But no reason you can't introduce them to someone within their first year

Is it possible to just never get good at a sport?I always wanted to drift. I used to rip the e brake in snow and dirt but I just suck at it. I bought a simulator setup and been using it for years and I never get better. I can barely drift around one wet corner. I just don’t think I can get good at it i never know where the cars gonna go until I hit the throttle and I’m already sliding out of control.
>>187150Of course you are going to fail at first but keep going keep practising fuck the simulators just get in a car find a place with not much people and start to drift, thats how i learned to drift using my brothers car my brother allowed me to drive his car as long as i put gas in it but he didn't know i would occasionally use it to drift too
>>187150driving is not a real sportit's the same "sport" as darts, video games and chess
>>187150just find an arcade version of Sega Daytona USA, the drift mechanics of that game is the best of all video games racers.
>>187150find a teacher dumbass
