Night ride edition>FAQ on buying a bike that nobody reads anyway:> What good bike can I get for under $500?a stolen bike. Possibly a newer used entry level hardtail but don't expect it to survive rock gardens, jumps, or drops. Or an older mtb which won't be as good as newer ones and will still have a front derailleur, but it'll be good enough.> What good bike can I get for under $1000Good used hardtail, new entry level hardtail> What good bike can I get for under $2000?New Hardtail, decent used full suspension> What good bike can I get for under $3000?https://www.yt-industries.com/fr/produits/velos/capra/uncaged-10-al/602/capra-mx-uncaged-10/Used full suspension, decent entry level full suspension but prepared to put more money into it.> What are the excellent value brands?Marin, Commencal, Canyon, Polygon, YT, Propain, Kona, and many more.

>>220420Dunno, what is long distance? Which terrain? Which tire/rim?. If you are using a gravel bike I have no clue. An mtb tire with proper mtb casing will rarely get punctures. I've used tires for more than a year without punctures but it was with DH casing. And for thin road tires at high pressures I don't think sealant would work
>>220421are you the same anon which was asking about mullet bikes a few months ago? At this point could you not get a raaw madonna v3 which is about 100 euros more than the privateer and is in stock.>>220398if you want something which is needlessly messy go ahead, otherwise there is zero point.
>>220423Yes, the same one poorfag bitching. The v3 is alot more expensive. 2.8k for a frame w/o shock, guide and headset(3.4k-3.6k with a shock and headset). 161v2 has all these for 2.2k along with a tuned shock. 5k for a rolling chassis that i'd need to add complete transmission and brakes. 161v2 complete bike is at 4.5k(3.6k right now with the sale).
>>220434Europoor coming into effect I guess. A frame, shock and headset from privateer/raaw/marin/similar companies are all within a couple hundered pounds of one another (around £2k) in the UK so basically would be picking the frame which you would prefer. The privateer full build is pretty insane value and basically nothing you would need to change after buying besides maybe personal preference items like a saddle or grips, it even comes with proper tyres. Only downside is it's looks but thats personal taste and you aren't going to be looking at it when riding so doesn't really matter.I'm also looking to buy a new bike this year and retire my old edit v1 but I'm undecided on what I would like to buy currently, so I will probably end up going to a few demo days to test of different kinds of bikes.
>>220434Where are you from? There are a shit load of great prices on frames and full builds in the US right now.

last time on dragon ball kg - >>195013What's everyones grades? Do you like kata? Where do you buy your gi's from?Does anyone else find the obsession with finding "mcdojos" annoying and counter productive?
>>220186>>220287Cute but no, KK has produced more pro fighters in general. Of all the UFC/Pride/etc fighters with Karate backgrounds, most are from KK but go ahead and keep coping. That's totally working for you.
>>220299>KK has produced moreMore than who or what where or in what? Because KK produced absolutley insignificant amount of pro fighters in UFC compared to lets say BJJ or wrestling. I wouldn't even say KK produced more pro UFC fighters than WKF/JKA/kickboxing style karate. Who produced KK in UFC? StPierre who did it as a kid and has nothing related to KK in his style and trained muay thai with muay thai coach? Bas Rutten who trained taekwondo and boxing prior to KK and muay thai after?
>>220307>coping by pivoting to an entirely different style of martial art>coping by pivoting to governing bodies, not stylesJust sad at this point.

>>219995Out of the thousands of fights online not ONE ends with a broken handBut people will parrot bullshit
>>220385>Out of the thousands of fights online not ONE ends with a broken hand1. Most fights online have really weak striking.2. A broken hand doesn't end the fight. People will continue fighting and notice later after the fight ends.Even doctors will talk about the "classic" boxer's fracture. You know less than the annoying nerd this thread is making fun of. One hospital had 172 hand injuries from punching in just 12 months, "but people don't break their hand fighting." https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3088367/
>>220410if the little bone cracks don't stop you from continuing to fight then there's no point even talking about themwhat? injuries in a fight?!? yeah well no shit, stay out of fights if you don't want to have themmeanwhile you have irl tuffgai combative faggots suggesting you use palm strikes and shit instead of punches so your hands don't break as though they'll shatter like glass and leave you defenselessgreat idea coach, let's use an objectively less effective striking surface and risk great bodily harm and possibly death by losing the fight instead of risking some ouchies on our widdle fingies by making a fist
/archery/ Thread #3 /archg/Let's keep this bad boy going!What's your style?What you shooting?What you hitting?Recs for bows?I bought a yumi, oh god, I'm a fucking moron, please help.What you wearing?
>>220297~500€ should get you a decent mid-level bow.
>>220354What is this guy talking about? 500 for a beginner bow are you crazy? 130 for a pretty good hunting recurve or not that much more for a decent hand made laminated trad bow.
Why do people keep saying that shooting with modern hunting recurves is traditional archery?
real tradbows are usually self bows right?
>>220429Self bows or laminated composites, although what most people mean when they say trad bow(at least here) is a bow without an arrow shelf, so I think most people would still call a resin hungarian like this >>215737 for example a trad bow.
Does punching power increase forever the longer you train? Or is there a limit?
>>216253There is no limit. This is what's actually going on in "nuclear" power plants. Nukes aren't real.
For thousands of years, people have wondered about the pugiverse. Did it stretch on forever, or was there a limit?
>>216253there is a limit but a perfectly executed punch is perfectly executed... You need the perfect ratio of velocity and weight as well as perfect form in the execution of the punch.
>>216253A combination of things can work in tandem. You either have power or you do not. It's true. I was knocking people out since I was a kid and had no idea how to punch. When you add good technique, and most importantly, timing, even a lack of power can appear as power and get the desired results. Nignogoo can KO people with no technique because of massive power. But Cowboy Ceronne can KO people because of great timing and very little power. Great foot work and trap setting can deliver KOs for you even without natural power.
>>216253Basically Forever.I don't think you're ever going to reach your maximum hip or serratus strength potential.
In BJJ, the blue belt signifies the ability to defeat a larger, stronger opponent that is untrained (or should do, as defined by Helio Gracie.)A boxers garb has no signals to represent ones proficiency. So what would an amateur boxer have to look like, perform, and demonstrate his proficiency in order for a coach (or an experienced boxer) to think that person could defeat a larger, stronger but untrained opponent?
>>220196>the blue belt signifies the ability to defeat a larger, stronger opponent that is untrained I always thought this was such a remarkably low standard, Because no kidding 12 weeks of boxing or less will get you to the same level then what up to 2 years of bjj? that's ridiculous
5-6 months of boxing should be way more than enough to beat someone who has never fought in their life even if they outweigh you by 80 pounds

>>220352>get gently pushed and concede the takedown so you can pull guard anywaywhat now
>>220397You're being disingenuous. You know damn well I mean when one competitor gets in dick sucking position or bottom missionary and the referee doesn't force the guy to stand back up and actually fight. If they're both already grappling on the ground and one chooses a defensive position, then that wasn't what I or anyone else was criticizing.
>>220352If You remove strikes these things become exploitable and it's not beneficial to run in there and get quickly takedowns
>>220403>If You remove strikes these things become exploitable and it's not beneficial to run in there and get quickly takedownsYou know what's less beneficial: training bad habits that would get you stomped in a real fight/non-competition environment.
They should make it legal to kick someone who pulls guard in the face. Simple.
>pulled mixed martial arts out of oblivion after 2000 years>made the world know grappling is a valid way to fight>now disrespected by martial arts fans
>>218329That and I think knife wounds and incidents look more vicious than gun fightsBoth are naturally lethal but a man repeatedly stabbing another man or just swiping an artery is just awfulBut at least the knife has a distance you can actively choose to not dive headfirst into
>>218106>Would any of them be using Gracie-style jiu-jitsu?Probably not, but their style is embedded in MMA now. Even their interpretation of Judo Techniques.
>>218095I remember a story where they challenged a Capoeira gym and all of them got slept besides one, dunno if its true but sounds funny
>>218095Got my blue from Carlson around 2004. At that point there were zero black belts in my state. We used to beat each other half to death every night. Weird how much has changed. Now fat women get black belts for teaching kids class.

>>214700Shevchenko got smashed square in the face by grasso and did a wonderful breakfallThere's at least a handful of people like Charles Oliveira and others who, when they practice good fundamentals, shut down a pin from knockdown just by going dead cockroach and inviting the opponent to invite them to stand back up

I've Been Playing For 25 Years But I Stopped Enjoying It 15 Years Ago Edition.Old thread: >>142716We're coming back any day now, boys.
I have been doing MMA for 15 years, have fought 11 times as an amateur bum and I know how important cardio really is. However, am I wrong when I say that "warmups" before every class are bullshit and a sign of a McDojo, if they are basically a cardio workout on their own AND they consist purely of movements unrelated to the sport? In my eyes, coaches do this shit if they are either too lazy to structure the class and think about the content, or they are doing some boxercise faggotry for fat soccer moms. Imagine this: You are a normie slob, no experience, and you have to do 30 minutes of excessive cardio shit that is unrelated to combat sports, like jumping jacks and running in circles. Afterwards, you are too exhausted to focus 100% on the actual combat sport drills, for which you had joined the gym. Warmups should just be enough that you can perform training safely. Mobilisation, few plyometrics, and then practice the moves from the previous lesson again. That's it. I would either put the cardio trash at the end of the class, or do it as separate lessons during which you can focus 100% on cardio and nothing else.
>>220314>I'm 46 and beat college wrestlers.Your students, or in actual competition? It's not uncommon for guys to dial back their athletic exertion to focus on solving grappling problems in the dojo.
>>220340That kind of incestuous credentialfagging is a large part of why many of the Chinese martial arts turned into absurd jokes. There are plenty of grappling disciplines older and better developed than Brazilian butt scoot and sometimes we can learn things from outside perspectives.
