>Obviously padded leather gloves are less protection but is it acceptable for tournament use?
Lmao no, your shit will get wrecked, you'll run out of fingers before your pool is done. As a longsword beginner your only senseible options are hardshells. Even the styrogum Sparring Gloves aren't really appropriate for noobs, despite being a good product.

>>245723
Sounds like bitch behavior but I'll accept it. Thanks, man. I appreciate it.

>>245722
if it doesn't have hard plastic protecting you under lot of padding, it's useless. more so in tournament use.

Why even go to this if you can't attack as well from it?

makes you gas out to get out. Or if you don't, you'll lose by points eventually.

If you do shit when getting out, you might even give an opening without realizing it so it's double worth it

i mean yeah, but those involve a lot of struggling in order to perform a takedown, while these ones are usually just making one move to throw the oponent. either way i didn't know what i should call them so "redirectional" made sense to me

>>246420
ooooh, yeah you're right, should've called them "soft" martial arts then, my bad.

>to assert your will will be more constructive
i agree, i just thought that it would be good to train, since i wanna train my falling technique (in order to not break or dislocate a bone when taken down)

i've been doing taekwondo itf for a few months now, and used to do judo but the dojo i went to didn't have very good instructors (they simply told us "alright do this" and got into their phones, leaving the more advanced students actually teaching). so far i've improved my skills overall, but i'd like to keep practicing takedown focused martial arts. i guess goju-ryu or wado-ryu would've solved this but i have no dojos near me that teach it (﹏).

also thanks for the info on mcdojos and the recs on martial arts :)

I love the way Aikido looks, and breakfalls are a genuinely useful skill to have. I won't really learn to hurt people, but it looks like a blast to do.

>>246409
Not real but looks cool at least :)

>>246396
It works really well if your opponent blindly throws their entire body at you. The problem is that people don't do that. Though admittedly, I HAVE used these moves successfully when I was attacked by a medium sized dog.

>breakfalls are a genuinely useful skill to have

yup, that's why i want to learn one of these soft martial arts, i mean i learned how to fall in judo but without practice it's useless :/

>>246469
>The problem is that people don't do that

i guess you're right, though it would be useful if you're fighting a drunk or overall messy person who doesn't know how to fight well.

>medium sized dog

lol, how did that go? i've been curious on how one should defend from a dog attack, since they're fast and if they jump on you you'll end up getting fucked up on the floor

>>246457
You sound like one of those crust punks stfu "your not a real whatever tf". My job is to show up to the park like twice a year and set the trends and show the kids what's possible and inspire, not to "skate" or whatever the fuck you want me to do faggot

Figures, you'd realise if you actually skated that non skate shoes tear a hole in them way too fast.

he was also a bit too old to be doing MMA for the 1st time. IIRC he was in his late 30s which is when a lot of MMA fighters retire

>>245861
That doesn't make him brave, it makes him stupid. He really thought he could train for a few years in his lates 30s against the top level mma fighters like Lesnar did (except he isn't genetically gifted like him). Guy should've just stayed in his lane instead of feeding his ego.

I've spent a lot of time looking into it on all sides of the story. Leo Fong was actually active on Facebook before passing away and posted a little about it. Here's a video of him talking about it, and then Fong himself posts in the video comments on Facebook (can't share the Facebook link here, for some reason):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Suxd-EWw4g8

So Leo Fong wasn't there to see it, he lived in Stockton at the time and couldn't come. James Lee and Bruce Lee just called him on the phone after. David Chin though, the guy with Wong's side who instigated the whole thing, basically confirms what Fong said. According to the book Striking Distance, David Chin said this:
>"From there," explains Chin, "he said he gives up and we stopped the fight. The whole thing lasted... not more than seven minutes.
>David Chin, very frank about the matter decades later, concedes, “I’ve always felt bad for Wong Jack Man, so I would tell people it was a draw.”

As you said, it was mostly just Wong running and Bruce chasing after him. At some point Wong fell backwards, Bruce gets on top of him (while tired out from chasing) and punches until Wong gives up and his people break it up. It was a sloppy affair all around, not much of a fight, but if you had to name a winner it'd be Bruce.

There's a lot of BS around it, like stories about Wong demanding a rematch and Bruce refusing, but if you look into it that's not what happened. Wong had a story published in a newspaper called the Chinese Pacific Weekly giving his side and ended it with this:
>"He says that in the future he will not argue his case again in the newspaper, and if he is made to fight again, he will instead hold a public exhibition so that everyone can see with their own eyes."
Maybe that's an insinuation of being open to a rematch, but that's all. Bruce didn't respond, but if you look at the timeline Brandon Lee was born literally days after that article and shortly after that Bruce was moving forward with Hollywood and getting the Green Hornet role. There's no reason he would bother responding to Wong hinting (at most) at a rematch at that point in his life.

Honestly I don't care about Bruce Lee fight stories that much, he was a martial arts teacher and an actor, not someone with a fighting career. So they're fun trivia, but what he was doing as a teacher and actor is more interesting to me. Like his work with Joe Lewis is cooler to read about. They had a close relationship that became complicated and ended poorly (for personal reasons), but Bruce had a big impact on him and seems to have helped inspire him to start kickboxing as a sport in America.

Good interview that talks about their training together:

Offer to clean the matts. Obviously it depends on things like if you are still around when they finish for the day so they can close after a clean, and how big the floor and how much time you have after a session. But if it works out then it might only take 30 minutes to an hour max to do a simple vacuum and mop, and they might appreciate it enough that they offer a discount or free membership, or they help you a bit more than usual with certain things you're trying to learn. Just don't ask for anything in return. Doing things like this is how you get in the good books while solving your main problem.

what are your thoughts on the bujinkan? i know their schools usually just teach taijutsu and not ninjutsu, despite their marketing, but i thought it'd be nice to try out sometime, though i don't have any dojos nearby :/

Now I just ignore him completely, he's a meme

missed that they've also made an SRO, thank you anonymous.
man fuck, sotac has made my favorite repro optic(the sotac c-more) but how in the fuck do you make a sight this bad and think it's okay for you to sell it?

just ordered $300 worth of more shit that i'm not sure i'll use but damn is it gonna feel great peeling it all out of the box

was also gonna buy a barrel for my pistol in hopes that i could make it shoot considerably farther and hotter for some sort of pistol sniper meme, but i realized i have no idea how to work on GBBs yet so i elected not to do that

I need recommendations. I want a Glock style gun - preferably actually a Glock with markings. Optional but wanted - optics cut. I heard good things about umarex Glocks, wgc has all that I could want but it's a bit pricey. Do they even ship umarex asia only versions to yourope? Any other ideas for reputable shops or glocklike things that will survive me beating on them training in the basement during off season?

>>246472
>but it's a bit pricey
cant speak for your specific case and generally i have nothing useful to add, but the general rule in airsoft is that wanting something more specific, like authentic markings, causes an instant and considerable price increase because stuff like that gets produced in smaller quantities and sold at greater margins, which means a shittier deal overall for (you)

i cant tell you its a bad idea to pursue your specific niche since ive done it several times and stubbornly stand by most of them, but i think its better to load up on "fuck it" beforehand because you will get shaken down whenever you turn from a hobbyist to an enthusiast

Fucking this. He's "contributing" too much.

Yo climbcels, is it possible to get kinda decent with 1x per week indoor climbing or is that "forever hardstuck at being able to do a few 7As that fit my style" tier?

>>246084
Hardstuck for sure. Even 2x a week super intense session is pretty much maintenance imo (unless you do stuff outside of climbing like finger training)

>>246086
Sounds like it's pretty much impossible to get anywhere with climbing if you also want to do other physical shit like regular lifting or running desu.

Running seems easy enough

>>246087
>>246274
Yeah, combining climbing and running is no problem in my opinion.
I suck at both though, so dunno how long it would take to climb e.g. 8A and run <18min/5k
