Obligatory first post despising the ego strikers who try to kill the new guys. If you do this, you must eat glass and die.
>>74119373I am a 33 year old boomer who is pretty strong and fit for his old age. People said since I have long limbs and a long torso I would be good at kickboxing but I also know there must be other factors? Price is a huge factor here and MMA gyms are expensive. In an ideal world Id train BJJ and kickboxing but I cannot afford both.Also people told me go for regular boxing.How do I know if I would be good at it or not?
i used to do bjj twice a day and kick boxing once a day and go to the gym every day and then a white belt gave me an mcl injury by yanking my leg in a way it doesn't go from turtle position and now i haven't gone in like a year whats the best way to rehab the knee to go back to martial sharts.
Who would have won?
>>74119382Long limbs is always a plus for a combat sport. Equal opponents and one has 2 inches height and reach and it's GG. It is a little pricey, but these gyms margin are usually not great. May be worth a shot for some BJJ. Not too late.>>74119388PNF stretching, kneesovertoes guy on YT. Unironically.
>>74119382You're 33. Why does it matter if you'll be "good". You are too old to be a champion. If you train 6 months you'll be better than the average guy on the street. You do it for a year or two you'll be a bad motherfucker. Is that not good enough?I'm 34. I used to train, haven't in years. I'm going back after my recovery, knowing I'm too old to even compete against talented 16yos, so I'm gonna get one or two amateur matches off my bucket list and then never stepping in the ring again. I'm just in it because I enjoy the sport.
>>74119373interesting thread opie, however...>heems you
i wear glasses, is it over for me to participate in any combat sports? Im interested in bjj
>>74119654holy retard, no it's not you can do bjj just fine
>>74119691i probably have way worse eye sight than gordon ryan, I think he can see just fine without glasses.
>>74119373What is the maximum bodyfat percentage one can fight competitively in?
>>74119388Thanks reminded me why I stopped training.
>>74119649>I'm 34. I used to train, haven't in years. I'm going back after my recovery, knowing I'm too old to even compete against talented 16yos,Lol you can't even beat kids? American, huh?
>>74119713>What is the maximum bodyfat percentage one can fight competitively in?It's irrelevant how you look like.
>>74119379I always fight to kill, never understimate your opponent regardless of his size or "new" fag
sorry for blogpost I'm currently 19 years old and have been practicing jiu-jitsu and kickboxing for about a year. I began boxing at the age of 15, so I've accumulated roughly four years of experience in martial arts. What age do you think would be suitable for me to have my first MMA fight ?How much experience do I need ?
>>74119970This should be a discussion with your coach, but you should be going to local fights and assessing the skills of the other fighters, assessing your weaknesses that distance you between them, and then going into fights when you are confident you can win and build a good record.
Went boxing at lunch and nogi just now. Good day
>>74119649Grappling industries has a millennial division for 30-40 year olds
>>74119382>>74119649Is 30s old age? What universe am I living in?
>>741203754chan is now mostly populated by zoomers and gen alfalfa now. Hence the post quality going to shit and incel/cuck shit going through the roof
>>74119860If you've ever sparred with freak specimens, you'd know that these guys sometimes show up out of nowhere, with minimal training and start destroying veterans. Yeah, as a 34yo just starting, you'll have no chance against a dedicated young kid that has been training for years.>>74120375If you want to become world class or championship material, yes. There are only perhaps a hand full of people that start 30+ and still have a good career. Even if you are a freak athlete that somehow never got noticed and put in a gym before, you'll need a few years of training to get decent enough to compete professionally, so at the time you are developed enough to compete you are likely just past your prime anyway, and only have two or three years left to go before retirement age.
>>74120375If you're not already a professional fighter at 30 then yes its old to start out, your body simply cannot take as much damage and training in your 30s its just a fact of life
>>74119903I know you're baiting but when drilling high hook and swivel i see like 2 guys who make it their mission to hurt everyonr they can and it's suspiciously always against new strikers and not our vets or competitors. Hmm very intriguing yes indeed.
>>74120432This
coaching two wrestling practices today, middle school then high school age clubprob just gonna roll for the second one (there are several coaches)
>>74122556Any states prospects? I feel like wrestling is dying desut. NY, Penn
>>74119373I can't get over his tiny cranium
>>74122779Anon, he's a nigger.
Currently training BJJ nogi once a week and gi twice a week.I really hate the gi bros, been training it for like a year but just don't enjoy it.Just I wait for purple before switching to an MMA gym where I can do only nogi or is there value to sticking with the gi until purple (I am mid blue now)?
>>74122779He’s on the shit that grows everything but the head
>>74119373Why did you post that roidtranny pussy
>mfw starting MMA in 2 weeksThis is $120 + 40 for two sets of rash guards for nogi, how did I do? Gloves are the thickest they had with open fingers, 8oz. Used them on heavy bag already and wrist support is decent with the long straps, will be better when the 180 straps are here. I think I'm in at the lowest price, I could always wear them out and upgrade. R8, h8, appreci8?
>>74119701You can literally roll with your eyes closed. Last tournament I saw a blind guy walking out to the ring with a cane. Get out there and train.
>>74122977Just switch gyms already. The only merit in training in the gi is that if you get into a street fight with someone wearing a lot of clothes it will make it easier, however those skills of clothing manipulation are gained before blue belt. Learning spider guard and lapel shit has no application to anything besides sport BJJ in the gi
I have about 12 hours of muay thai under my belt now, can I post here?
>>74120988Seems dangerous.What if the newbies go all columbine
>>74123207>that thong cupTrolling or is this meta? I don't grapple, in muay thai i use compression shorts cup
>>74122761my heavyweight placed 4th this year. 165 is the captain but he shit the bed at state. if he LISTENS this summer instead of taking time off to box he can be a 2x champ. heavy gonna be a senior. he wrestles me folkstyle summer, fall, and winter he'll win itI see no signs of wrestling declining. West coast btw
>>74120988>high hook and swivelwhat's that?
>>74123942I've got even less but I will post here
>>74119373I do gi BJJ now because a pretty bad shoulder dislocation took me out of wrestling back in college. It's just nice to be back on the mat after 6 years even though it isn't as intense as I'm used to. If there was a judo place in my area I would've started that instead.
>>74124083Plz be nice I never used one before. Wrestled for 6 years and some college, never wore a cup. Should I go compression short cup route? I planned to wear compression shorts over the cup.
>>74124249>Take time off of wrestling (small, dying) to box (large community, growing)If anything it's based. Obviously not for your purposes but a wrestler who can strike well is well set up for beginning MMA if that's his route.
>>74120375
>>74119654Unironically yes
>>74119970Just give up lmao
>>74119382Don't try it
>>74125998>>74125999>>74126005The crabs in a bucket trying to demoralize. Shouldn't you be posting BBC porn on /b/ or /pol/ right now?
>>74119373Do Jiu Jitsu for two years, great school, chill instructor, no egos erc, get blue belt, get injured, out for a year, move to anew city and decide to get back into. Contact nearest dojo and ask about pricing etc, get sent a giant list of details including >must refer to all black belts as professor>must always walk onto mat with right foot firstNah, I wanted to learn Jiu Jitsu not join a cult. I’ll just be content with my blue belt.
>>74119373how to program bjj and kickboxing with weight training? i dont want to half ass either one and be able to recover.
>>74122977stop drinking the kool aid and leave the pajama party.
>>74119373Anyone know how to improve side arm jab power? I want it to be absolutely devastating, do i just need big ass shoulders and triceps?
>>74126268Yeah aint nobody trying to grapple prime mike, id rather perfect my kickboxing. Hey if you see a 360 back kick end a fight in hw ufc in like 2yrs thats me, my backup plan for if i cant toilfag in software dev next college run.
>>74119970Man just spar thr competitors, hit the bag 10x as much, and lift like you are going to a powerlifting meet. Maybe hit some more cleans for jumping amd arms shoulders bench for boxing. Until youre way fiercer than anyone else no reason to get unnecessary brain damage, thats for 25+ grown men they hit hard to the head. The longer the better for ezwin. If youre really dedicated you can be champ, just gotta know how to train.
>>74124818I don't think you understand how big wrestling is for teenagers and how small boxing is. Like an order of magnitude difference
>>74126248If youre really strong the 20% debuff wont matter. Prioritize lifting, and watch how much better you are 1 week no lifting. Being at 4pl8 bench 5pl8squat is hw champ levels of strength.
>>74126349Id rather be a god of boxing unabke to be wrestled, same with kickboxing to boxing.
>>74119903Meh, someone like george foreman is chill as fuck and strong as shit too. Being able to be calm is a virtue, comes with muscle memory training. Thats the shit thatll get you kod being reckless. If youre calm it makes shit seem to happen slower, rage is a crutch.
Boxing and BJJ are very effective in the real world as martial arts. Boxing for standup fighting, BJJ for grappling. There is a reason it is taught to cops.Muay Thai is also effective for standup fighting, while Sambo and Judo takedowns are good for moving from standup fighting to grappling. Boxing and BJJ alone are sufficient, my dad was a boxer and fought in tournaments as a young man, only studied boxing.I do not study Krav Maga. Once met a woman here in America some years ago who learned Krav Maga from her service in the IDF. I said to her that Krav Maga has no honor or humanity for the opponent.She became upset and changed the subject before I even mentioned the word Palestine. She tried to sleep with me after that and I spurned her on GP.
>>74119382If you are just interested in cardio and general fitness then the cheapest gym. If you are interested in self protection then carry pepper spray and a knife (a gun if you can) and learn to use those. You do not want to risk an actual street fight for legal reasons or because its a set up and you will be attacked by numerous people. If you have to fight to get your spray or knife out to use you would need basic strikes - kickboxing for the knees, kicks, and elbow strikes, boxing for the punching and punching combos. You want to learn to "see" your opponent setting up for sucker punch or kick, and block or strike first. You do not want to go to the ground in a street fight - strike and get out.
>>74119422both on steroids, but tyson had skill and training from a top coach, so likely tyson. Someone who understood boxing and tyson's style would need to use proper counter strikes to beat tyson. Tyson's sparring partner knocked him out. Then Buster douglas, then evander hollyfield. As long as they stayed covered up and counter punched when Tyson threw his left hook they had a chance. Morrison did not see smart enough for the strategy and patience.
How are you meant to slip manlets? They're already below me how am I meant to get under them?
>I snapped a leg (not mine) during our last bohurt tournamentfeels bad bros. I just wanted a fun sport
>>74119382>How do I know if I would be good at itThe only way to KNOW is to try, everything else is just guesswork
How realistic is it that I'll be able to learn Muay Thai without sustaining any brain damage?I'm a beginner now and I have no intentions of ever going pro.
Anyone has a stretching program for higher kicks and maybe do the split?
>>74128003This brain damage thing is a scam. You're fighting heavyweights nor are you fighting/training to absolutely destroy your opponent.You'd have to have thirty years of training to feel those kind of changes in your brain.
>>74122977>is there value to sticking with the gi until purple (I am mid blue now)?No. Adapt your gi training to avoid gi grips/techniques, and switch when you can. If you request no-gi rounds and go to open mats you can probably get a lot more no-gi rounds. While you're at your current gym, you should still attend gi classes just so you can get a lot of time on the mats.>t. ditched the gi shortly after getting my blue belt, no regrets
>>74126156>chill instructor, no egos>BjjLmao.
>>74129220It happens sometimes. My blowjob jay jim is like that. Very laid-back.>>74126985Aren't they aiming at your head? Bend your knees, bro.
>>74128003Not all professionals to ever step in the ring get brain damage, what makes you think anyone that isn't a pro is going to get brain damage just because they hit pads and maybe spar lightly a couple of times per month? Just don't end up in one of those places where they record the students getting beat up by the instructor for chin condition and you'll be fine.
>>74129316I am simply paranoid and don't want to realize that I've been giving myself brain damage after the fact.>Chin conditioning Fighters usually lose their chins the more they get knocked out
>>74128098>>74119451Same advice. Mix in mobility movements like high knees, extended lunges, and generally movements that take full ROM in dynamic motion. Will take some time to get there, it's a hard movement for people who are conditioned in sitting all day
>brain damage, TBIs>They haven't into semax, selank, cerebrolysin, reparative peptidesNGMI btw
>>74130284Any review on semax/selank?I used cerebrolysin some years ago and it was very good but last time I ordered it (from Russia) it got held back at customs and returned to sender, so a bit harder to come by nowadays.
>>74119373You don't even have a discussion starter. Just a weak racebait and an invitation to come tell people I do combat sports. No thanks, faggot.
>>74130812>NNOOOO WHY WOULD PEOPLE BE INVITED TO DISCUSS A FITNESS RELATED TOPIC THEY PARTAKE IN Thanks for the bump
