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
>>194999If you're self-conscious (and don't want to address the root issues) or worried about negative interactions with authority figures you could make a point of running long lines at the edge of your skill confidence instead of loitering in one location and grinding out one obstacle at a time. If you've got an acceptable spot to train some basics, like a gym, a park or the woods, you can grind some skills there in between running your routes. Are you trying to figure this out in an urban, suburban, or rural setting?
>>197342Urban that transitions in a rural setting.
>>197344Name a city or town with a similar landscape and we can point out challenges, or chill areas that we would consider training, on google street view. It would help develop parkour vision and know what to look for. Might be a fun exercise to do here. Anyone else want to suggest a hypothetical location?

There's been some drama recently with Sanlida using youtube content creators' content without permission. I don't understand how people didn't see it coming before, considering it's a chinese company, and they've never been known to grasp the concept of intellectual property.
got a 100lbs safari bow. anyone here bear hunt?
Anyone has experience with stabiliser setup for recurves? I'm looking to buy a set from Ramrods, and want to know if there's any general rule of thumb about rod lengths. I've read and heard the central rod should be your draw length + roughly 3 inches. But what about the side rods?
Jesus Christ is the Son of GOD who came to earth and died for the world, so that may have eternal life. Three days later GOD rose Jesus Christ from the dead. He promised that whosever believes in Him, He promised them eternal, when the ask Him for it.

>can hardly walk for two days>pain migrates around knee for five weeksPivot on your heel, anons.
>>197801that’s something i’ve been working on for a while. it’s difficult on hyzers to load onto my heel, but delaying my reachback as long as possible has actually made the most difference on the pivot. the robinson brothers both like to pivot off the ball of their foot more than not from what i’ve noticed but yeah most high-level golfers go on the heel.

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?
>>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
One of mikes former trainers/teammate had a gym in memphis who exclusively taught peek a boo style. Wish I had money back then. This was probably 7 or 8 years ago.
>>193329Redpill me on soviet style. It feels like the least brain-damaging style for the user. I also have long arms and legs for my height so I feel like it'll be good to adopt.
Lmao if I can deadlift 500lb I can just pick you up and slam you on the fucking ground, all you're little bjj and wrestling bullshit doesn't mean jack shit XD
Okay. Now go to an mma gym and try that theory out

I would just double leg and you and slam you on the mat and I wouldn't let you get up until you begged me too. I wouldn't even ground and pound or try to submit you I would just hold you there until you quit. take care of your sparring partners faggot
>>197018And then everyone in the gym would clap and the president would walk in to give you a medal of honor. Yeah that's exactly how it's going to happen you tell him.
>>194695>autistic sperg faggot who won't regulate himselfCongrats, everyone at your gym hates you. You're a try hard queer who is going nowhere.
>>194695You're so good. You should compete.
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?
>>197181Stop running into punches and it happens >>197187It's entertaining AF>>197267I doubt Costa beats Sean. He has no redeeming fight qualities.
>>197130Hahaha fair point actually
>>197267>yan>washed Retards like you are the reason this sport's discourse has gone to shit. Also costa is an interesting match up for sean. Costa's bodywork will be an issue for sean defensively and he won't be deterred by sean's jabs. A loss to a someone who just went to war with whittaker isn't an indictment on sean.
Asking for a dwarf friend, what kinda of risks and injuries are there. Would 6 months of training be good enough?
>>195390Dwarf boxing is extremely dangerous. 6 months of training will not be sufficient to prepare your friend for the risks he'd be taking. Risks such as:>Accidentally being trodden on by the referee>Getting lost in his boxing gloves>Hitting himself with his ice axe as he ascends the ring>Traumatic brain injury>Fending off enemy gnats>Slipping through the molecular bonds of the canvas>Being kidnapped as a Warwick Davis substitute>Fed to the manager's pet tardigrades if he loses
>>195390Dwarves can be really tanky. Tell your friend to roll up a paladin and he’ll be fine.
I don't know much about dwarf boxing, or even regular boxing, but from what I've seen, their large heads, short torsos, and short arms all combine into rendering body-shots almost useless. When almost all hits are to their heads, it becomes much easier to guard themselves against them, so I image it may well be safer that full-sized fights. Also, if knocked out, the fall to the ground isn't as high, so injuries from that are probably lesser.
>>195390>Would 6 months of training be good enough?I’ve had my dwarf for a year now, and he still pisses on the carpet and wrecks things while I’m at work. You really need 2 to keep each other company and a lot of room for them to run around. They don’t need training to fight, just don’t expose them to other dwarves.
>>195390Tell Warwick Davis he's going to get his ass kicked.
How do make finger skatign EXTREME

>>184782Razors go round the outer edge. Board explodes if it drops below 50mph.
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.
Got StM 800N whites from their site, shipping was a bitch given current circumstances and since I bougbt a rollerbag to boot. The feel is comfortable enough that it doesn't trigger my skin rashes, though feels a bit heavy.Will get back to you after I break them in after a couple bouts.
>>196322how tf is StM still around, wasn't their factory in eastern ukraine
>>195990About 15 years ago I won an epee bout with a spinning jump attack. I am still proud of that to this day.

Modern skateboarding fucking sucks. Everyone skates like a robot: same tricks, same style (both clothing and trick execution), everyone at the skateparks are way too serious and tryhard. Nobody carves or has any real style, just the same in-line tight truck 5 approved tricks tried endlessly in a row.How do we make skateboarding like 1988-1992 again? Bright day glo colors, giant ass fish boards with rails, tricks that are whatever the fuck you felt like doing that day and who fucking cares if you drag a hand or a toe as long as you surf out of it. People used to all have a sense of humor and goof around and improvise halfway through a trick, not stand around like soulless autistic robots and give up if the autism flip didn't land perfect in the sperg grind. And for the love of fuck, they listened to ROCK and METAL, not this horseshit faggot ass trap music rap bullshit.Skateboarding used to be rad as fuck and whatever gay shit it is today isn't worth being around. I don't see any tricks around today that weren't being done back then, it just had more pizzaz then.Like, watch this part and tell me you aren't 1000x more amped to skate than some bullshit dropped today: https://youtu.be/3c7XV-FC59k?si=RAAuO_Fu-BT8R2RF&t=21Fuck modern skateboarding, make skateboarding rad again.
>>197456A longboard is fine for getting around flat cities like Milwaukee and Chicago, but even then I preferred my normal deck with fat wheels to carve better
>>197517thats fine as long as your skating and not living in the past. >>197519>A longboard is fine for getting around flat citiesi still disagree with this because turning/maneuverability sucks and your not gonna be able to hop over shit, up a curb, down a curb.. immediately makes me think of this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7lO4yV-eQk

Guy is talking about someone he meets at a bar, that is "approaching" 40 as a boomer and a grandpa. What a dipshit. Boomers are the children of WW2 veterans. They are 75-85 years old now. Im a 48 year Genx that hasn't had grandchildren yet, but I don't know many that are grandpas before they're 40.And you're in a bar? You're already out dated for skateboarding and just haven't figured it out yet. So just go back to the industrial production line of thirty 6 year old's practicing kick flip shovits (thats a trey flip) at your local skate park. You uncoordinated out of shape, computer fat, lazy Millennial, self entitled, can't ever buy a house , can't afford food, always fucking crying, poser.Any GenX want to entertain themselves. Go watch Tim Pool skate videos. Most fat sloven, stranded mess. Pulling tricks that are awesome, with zero coordination. Thats what skateparks did for us. They gave our children a production line of the best tricks with zero style.
In DnD, whenever I play, I absolutely hate when players who choose a martial class don't add flavour to their attacks. "I hit him with my sword 3 times", "I punch him twice" is the most you'll get out of them. I hate it even more when the DM does it or when when the DM doesn't allow accumulative damage in games if you target a specific area with enough strikes. I get that the dweebs at WoTC only put barely half the effort of making martials viable in high levels with the battlemaster fighter subclass, but do NONE of these guys have love for the "ART" part of martial arts? Theres so much flavour you can put, like if a player goes for an elbow to the face enough times there will be a cut above the eye that now gives the opponent a disadvantage on perception checks and attacks due to not being able to see. Or hell implement ANY sort of good ruleset for how grappling arts can be used in game to help break limbs, throw enemies to the ground or completely isolate/submit opponents. Or if the player makes a high enough dex check with a weapon once per the enemies turn, they can immediately parry and get a quick strike in.Maybe this is the price I pay for being into martial arts and dweeb shit at the same time but holy shit is it ever annoying. Especially when no one seems to want it changed.
>>196773Song of Swords has everything you want. No need to try to force D&D into being something it isn't.
>>196791>the game mechanicsI don't know how these nerd ass games work but isn't it pen, paper and your imagination. If the game doesn't allow it just make house rules that accommodate it. It's not like a video game where it's hard coded and there is not much you can do. I'm sure if everyone in the group agrees it should be fine. I'm surprised that some other nerd hasn't written up rules that are already balanced for people to implement into their games.
>>197461LARP rules for Vampire are literally rock paper scissors for success/failure.
>>196773GURPS you absolute flaming faggotYou've fucked up so badly sticking to DnD that you're now spreading this irrelevant shit on boards that have absolutely nothing to do with itGet off 4chan, play GURPs and stop bitching
>>197461With some LARPs like that one there's a larger organization with interconnected stories so they're usually handled with a greater degree of standardization and fewer house rules than some one-off game you run locally for your friends. The game session I joined had at least a couple dozen players and several GMs who had to communicate and coordinate with each other to run that single session in that single location.
Is Judo the best single martial art in terms of self defense?When it comes to street fights, almost everyone can agree that being on the ground is bad considering the possibility of things like glass being on the ground and someone else coming up and kicking you in the head. Therefore wouldn't the best martial art for street fights be one where the whole goal is to slam your opponent into the ground without falling yourself? Especially because while a person would expect punches and kicks from their opponent, something like a hip throw would likely catch them by surprise
>>197479>I’ll put my money on the bet that consistently loses when testedlol, has modern ufc where everyone knows how to both strike and grapple made everyone forget about what mma was like 20 years again?
>>197488UFC isn't canon on /xs/.
>>197362All the legit styles are pretty good on their own even. It just depends on the situation
>>197488UFC was full of ex professional athletes. I'm talking mr hobbyist.
>>197530>nuh uh doesnt count because it doesn’t align with my worldviewYour opinion is based on fee fees not evidenceThere’s also a lot of mma outside of the ufc btw
