Butt scooting is a fundamental problem with the sport; it's not just a personal hangup.
It's intentionally taking a position that is by all accounts disadvantageous, and moreover looks and feels instinctively idiotic, BUT due to the rules, it's not actually disadvantageous. It also simply skips a large chunk of the game. In reality you'd just get kicked in the head. The sport already awards points based on advantageous striking positions and is thus ostensibly rooted in the realm of real fighting. It needs to also disincentivize the butt scoot for that reason.

>in the event of a tie the decision is supposed to go to the guy on top
Then why are are you crying about guard pulling? You're being handed top position. I love guard pullers because I actually know how to pass and submit
>>196556
>In reality you'd just get kicked in the head
You could apply this retarded logic to pretty much any combat sport. You morons only apply it to BJJ to be contrarian 4channers.
Wrestlers give up their backs, which is deadly. Boxers don't acknowledge grappling or leg kicks. Judokas don't allow leg tackles. Just fucking train MMA if you are going to nitpick like a woman

I genuinely don't understand the guard pulling whining. I fucking WISH my training partners would concede position

It's not internally consistent. You're awarded points by gaining advantageous striking positions. When someone sits down on the ground in front of you, that should immediately give you a point because you could kick them in the head.

>>196562
If you are on your back you're losing
End of discussion. You're the one that needs to move
Being on your back is losing in the eyes of sport and in the reality of fighting

But why waste time focusing on finger strength when it’s 1 aspect of dozens that you have to train for climbing when you train most of the things together while actually climbing. Why don’t you also isolate other stuff like forearm endurance with other of the wall exercise etc.
You overestimate the importance of finger strength training while downplaying the amount of strength you gain from climbing alone. While in the totality of the sport it’s one of the 30 things that you have to train.

Depends on what you're doing. Bouldering indoors is not generally limited by endurance for a single route. Also climbing outside is retarded so yeah

Get 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

this anon here, after being told I'm obese and then still struggling to get the skates on over the next few months, I gave up on them
I decided to try again today because it's getting warm again and I'm itching for something to do outside
while trying them on I realized that, while not obese, I am a fucking retard and I was supposed to push this thing in to unhinge the strap so it actually closes
I'm disheartened to learn of my mental handicap, but I'm looking forward to actually trying to rollerblade

anon, literally everyone told you don’t use gorilla tape, I literally would bet money that the first time you heard of people using gorilla tape on rims was someone saying “don’t use gorilla tape as rim tape”
Sealant doesn’t seal tape, spokes pokes happen and you are supposed to re-do the whole rim tape if it happens. It should be a 20 minute job if you only used proper rim tape (I peel off the old tape, wipe my rim with a dry rag and then start taping, 2 layers, EXTRA tight), but yes gorilla tape leaving an awful residue is the exact reason you do not use gorilla tape on rims

I've been using a spring that gave me a touch under 30% sag, and made the decision to try out one that was 50lb firmer. Put me at about 26-7% sag. Fiddled with the dials a bit to accommodate for the stronger spring, and holy moly the bike is alive now. I was able to gain more speed from pushing and pumping, and I think due to the increased force of the spring, my legs got absolutely fucking munted within 4 runs down the hill, when I was intending to be there the whole day. Such is life.

First ride I decided to record out of interest as well since breaking my leg in February. Pic related kek.

Grew up dirt poor, with a shithead drunk father who beat him and his mother

The fact he's in his 30s and that makes him break down and ugly cry in public about it means he never dealt with it
But he's the same kind of fag that would call you a pussy bitch for seeking out help from a therapist to talk about it

So glad we know he fights because of his daddy issues and beats up and bullies weaker people to make himself feel strong
He became his father
Congratulations, you played yourself

>If you're finding yourself going to bjj class or whatever and the teacher has you doing bear crawls and running laps, you're the one that's in the bad school
I would argue that beginning class without a warmup is irresponsible. If the cardio portion lasts longer than is necessary for warming up, sure.

>>196496
For our boomer brothers with bad knees and tight backs needing special warm up time, they should get to class a few minutes early and warm themselves up as they know what their body needs in particular to get going
This non-scientific calisthenics warm up will just aggravate preexisting conditions. The people who need to warm up will half ass it or skip it, and the people who can do it don't really even need it.

The other big point is the way most classes are structured you'll get all warm and loose then immediately sit down while the teacher shows the lesson and you'll cool off and tighten up even worse than when you first got there

A good class should start with low physical demands and then ramp up to a peak as people get warm before tapering back down as energy levels fade
So any kind of warm up and cool down should be built into the programming of the activity itself

I saw sailing thread one day here, it wasn't popular, too few people do it.
>Any sailors?
I was enjoying sailing at one point of my life, but I live in place where no seas, only small lakes. I travelled to Ladoga (it is a big lake actually), Canary Islands and White Sea to sail. I stopped doing this because where I live it is hard to do sailing.
I'm thinking is it possible to become a skipper and earn money with it somehow and what the job looks like. Is it always ride office workers along the sea during vacations?
It also would be cool to make ocean crossing one day.

Probably very poor money. I sail with a local yacht club as a skipper just for fun. Nobody pays anyone; they just needed more crew.

martial arts is a discipline that takes decades to master, you're just inexperienced to perform in a very proeficient way

even the biggest retard can learn how to jab and cross but hardly ever they'll aply easily in fight

just keep training and don't worry to much, keep improving the things that you can spot and understand and if you don't understand something yet just keep working on other things until you realize where you're failing

Same as learning proper punches.
Practice that throw with a buddy dozens of times until you can do it blindfolded.
My dojo has a part of the class dedicated to practicing throws.

Possibly 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.

>>186752
They would wear a cup so not that many

Statistically speaking I would expect 5-10 women to win as I believe that is the overlap in the strength bell curves. If they're paired by weight class then I'd expect 0 or 1

>>186752
You are aware that women can be kicked in the crotch as well and it hurts similarly badly, right anon? Or is this just another retarded inter-sex combat thread that you faggots are obsessed with for some reason? Surely not.

I expect a few women to win. There are some really beta and pacifist guys out there and some horrible and trashy women who don't mind throwing hands

I know nerds cope and say otherwise but fighting is massively a mindset and the ability to do damage without thinking about it. You put some tech funko pop onions up against a ghetto ass female and she will fuck him up

Am I the only one here who practices muy thai for the social and fitness aspect, as well as self defense without having any desire to compete? I still do spar

>>180058
I have L5 herniation too. I don't do MT but I do other stuff and it's fine. Yeah sometimes it gets flared up, but it's just a flare. You're not going to make it physically any more bulged or herniated than it already is; it ain't gymnastics.
For the times when it doesn't flare up, it actually flares down.
I'd try going on a light jog and if you can do that then you'll be fine at class

>>182181
Strength training does however substantially increase bone density

>>185383
Sparring isn't a theatrical production; it's part of your training. You spar to get better at fighting. Spar more often and get used to it so you don't freeze up. That's what it's for.
