I want to train something that doesn't involve hard sparring whatsoever, I just want to do drills and light sparring without hard hits or simply hits to the head. I was looking into kickboxing and muay thai gyms near me and they at least seemingly and according to reviews had a quite hard sparring heavy culture in there.
>>253556There's a reason BJJ is as popular as it is these days>>253566Believe it or not, some people can have a casual interest in martial arts without wanting to become retarded
>>253583Go and do Burpees and hit a punch bag then with an interval timer Martial arts means getting hit. You will probably have a lower chance of hard blows in MMA gym because theres other ways to finish your opponent rather than repeated head shots. There's a reason Cro cop said kickboxing is scarier than MMA
>>253570only thing is that they prioritize a lot of head kicking there, but it is an awesome art
>>253566many such cases

You fuckers lied to me about Kazuma.

Taking a few L's is actually a good thing for Kazuma because it will teach him valuable lessons on how to improve his sumo and become even better in the salaried divisions. It's setting him up to start zenshoing in March or May or July.

Here we discuss HMB, Buhurt, Harnisfechten, SCA Heavy, Armored MMA, and other categories of historically inspired armored sport fighting. We are a very welcoming community and there’s never enough of us, newcomers need not be shy.Share your experiences, discuss arms and armor, appreciate the athletes and smiths, and most of all HAVE FUN!
One of the best places to start watching armored fights is through Armored MMA’s YouTube channel. I like to show people the Shanna Knight v Amanda Hadt fight, I admit it’s partly because Shanna has one of the best looking armor/tabbard combos in the game but she also kicks serious ass.
>>253449>Armored MMA>BuhurtPretty cool anon, thanks for showing me something new. Unfortunately I don't think this really exists in Aus.
How much of an overlap is there between Buhurt and Harnisfechten? I'd really love to get into Harnisfechten because I'm super interested in historical longsword combat, but there's no groups in my area that do it at all (Maine). There's a team that does Buhurt which also looks really fun, but its not quite what I'm after. I'd still be interested in doing Buhurt, but I'm just curious if I get into buhurt, get a kit for it, would the kit I use still be able to work for Harnisfechten and am I likely to find people there interested in it as well? There is a HEMA group but as far as I can tell they are just the normal softkit version, they also meet on days I am wholly unable to meet in.I've watched some Buhurt sword duels and it just mostly seems to be who can swing the fastest and land the most hits, there's no form or blocking or style there. Looks kinda lame
Does /xs/ prefer step or strap on bindings? Do step ons work in deep powder?
Ive been riding for a long time (2010s) and used to be sponsored back when a cork 10 was crazy lol i started on the ice coast but moved out west now for quite a number of years - id honestly never try clickers especially not the burton ones. Id consider the FASE tho,. maybe im just an oldfag but, the union force's do me just fine and i dont mind the 2 seconds to strap in (you dont have to even sit down unless youre new to this). There's a reason most pros dont wear stepins.
>>253138I got back into boarding at the lend of last season. I decided I wanted to commit to it, but I needed new boots. I looked into the market and saw some of the step on options. k2, burton, etc. I was prettu quick in my decision and bought some burton step ons. I don't regret it, but I would probably go with Supermatics if I was making the same decision today, if only for the wider boot selection. It's really satasfying to skate a few times off the chairlift then step into my back binding and be on my way. Are they less performant than traditional binding? Probably? Though I imagine it wont make a difference for 99% of people and they'll appreciate the convenience. You'll also save a few bucks going with traditional.
have boards gotten shorter? in the past only manlets rode boards shorter than 160cm but now i see grown adults riding boards as short as 154 with 160+ boards being nowhere to be seen, not even in product catalogs.
>>253553I've noticed more powder oriented and all mountain boards tend to be on the longer side whereas park boards tend to be a lot shorter .
>currently snowing and expected to get 50cm over the day and into the night>day off tomorrow and hitting the hillsThe east never gets a pow day. Im so hyped

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

>>77654video editing is barely a skill you could learn to do basic cuts in any program in minutes.
>>244060kekwhat game is this? it looks so stupid
>>76604How do parkour niggas train to make longer jumps and land without blowing up their knees? Or how do they jump from massive heights like nothing?Is it because they started young and are still young but their bodies will explode later on?Obviously they do parkour and that conditions their body but do they have strength training specific to parkour, any general strength training works or what do they do alongside parkour for those jumps.
>>253165the safe answer is by training plyometrics, lifting, crosstraining calisthenics and the like. the real answer is we just send it. don't forget that half of the athletes in our sport are too young to vote, and the other half suffer the consequences of our previous training habits. there shouldn't be anyone under the age of 25 who's had an acl surgery but i personally know at least two, due entirely to an injury sustained from either parkour or tricking and if i were a little bit more retarded, i'd also need one.

Do karate chops to the back of the neck (not sides)/base of the skull really reliably cause knock outs? I’ve hit myself there hundreds of times before and have only ever caused the muscles to feel sore. Do you have to use a ton of force?
>>253439Nobody really knows for sure, karate chops to the neck might be fake but nobody is willing to literally put their neck on the line to test it just in case it's real
>>253439You have to get a good, clean hit. People complain about "back off the head" hits a lot when they're getting thrashed, but those are the incidental ones. An intentional rabbit punch is cruel, brutal, and can be devastating.
i recently started isshinryu karate
>>253439back of the neck is pure star trek nonsense, however attacks to the base of the spine can lead to permanent damage and possible paralysis
As someone who is the same age as charlie, snowboarded my first black slope, learning skateboarding, falling off now and again.Charlie is full of shit here.https://youtube.com/shorts/lOW0gnh4kS4?si=iPYsrzzWuKEltLF1
>>251994Who?
>>251994He is 100% right because he has been sat in his bibeogayme throne for 15 years allowing his tendons and spine to collapse on themselves and he probably can't do 1 push up or pull upFor everyone who can do a few pull ups and isn't a pro videogame streamer parasite then it's okay have fun
>>252015some retard
>>251994Yeah I agree, I think skateboarding is a little less forgiving than say snowboarding or wakeskating or whatever given that you're falling on concrete but you can still do it...you just gotta work your way up to the cool stuff. That being said I broke my ankle skating at 30, had to get plates and screws put in, and haven't really got back into it since but it's more of a mental thing than anything else for me
skateparks are full of teens and crackheads, not really the best of places
For anyone who has done a martial artIs it normal to have mixed emotions about it?None of the stuff I've tried (Boxing, Judo, Wrestling, BJJ)Has made me instantly think "omg I love this. This is it. I'm doing this for life"It's usually a combination of "well that was really difficult and tiring, is this worth it, this is going to be difficult but I'll be a better person mentally and physically, I guess.. just stick with it?"Or were you instantly hooked
>>253510Funnily enough I had the same thing tried kickboxing and had a super heavyweight of all people trying to aim for the Jaw with hard punches and hard head kicks.. I thought fuck this lmao. The coach was also rude and I got a weird vibe from everyone. I don't mind being hit hard but save that for a match where I can at least gain some false pride from it. Not spar for pointless damage
>>244783>very complex and unintuitive>sparring felt intuitiveSomething "feeling" intuitive is a meme. Lots of good fighting elements aren't intuitive in the slightest. People don't intuitively tuck their chins in and throw straight punches, yet boxers do it all the time.
>>253532Yeah but learning to tuck your chin and punch properly can be learned in 1 session and replicated live very quickly There's a saying you won't throw anyone in randori until at least 1-2 years inWrestling you will take down people straight away
>>253536>There's a saying you won't throw anyone in randori until at least 1-2 years inOnly at shitty hobbyist schools.>Wrestling you will take down people straight awaySo will judo if you're not at a shitty hobbyist school.

>>253579Have fun
>>253579Take the initiative, don't overcommit, put your guard up or move away when you stop throwing punches, attack as soon as they stop throwing punches.

Basically the Road Rash game but on foot.Dodgeball with bocce.Polo but with rodeo horses.Water polo but the water is slightly acidic so your skin and eyes start to burn after a while and you can only get out (rotating with other team members) once you score.Any motor sport but without brakes.Soccer with bowling balls.Squash but the room is so narrow and you can get hit by the other player's racket.Comment too long.
