>>255823not one but two blinkers, that's terrible luck
>>255833how did edo rikishi get enough food? they had normal jobs as soldiers or was the shogun sponsoring them?
>>255834Daimyo sponsored them. Since they weren't allowed to actually go to war against each other, sponsoring rikishi became one of the remaining ways to show off their prestige compared to other daimyo.
No food. You do shiko.
How would you create a martial art that had as it's main purpose to be most effective against UNTRAINED people? Are there any techniques that are useless in a trained context but disproportionally effective when used against untrained people?Kind of like how in chess there are openings that are principally not sound and easily rebuked by people who know how to play chess, but allow you to easily checkmate a complete beginner (like the scholar's mate).
>>253857Speed is power. If you can strike quickly and with substantial force, you'll be even farther ahead.
>>255351My comment was made because when dealing with trained opponents, a well-timed strong attack is sometimes advantageous (a proper uppercut rather than a jab, for example), but when dealing with the untrained, you can be just as effective with less power. Most untrained people don't even know how to properly brace for impact (they won't clench their jaw or strengthen their core).

Headbutts are the first thing that spring to mind when I hear "disproportionately effective". Basically takes no skill in terms of technique or execution but can have devastating effects.

So I've been training for a couple of months and always try to warm up with drilling single leg from a standing positionIt always feels so slow. It takes me like 2 seconds to level change, drop down, slide my foot across and then stand back up. Also when I try this around the house it fucking hurts even on carpet Are single legs that slow, am I doing something wrong? Obviously I can never pull this off in sparring. Unless I grab their leg from the clinch Or is shooting for singles just something you can't learn as an adult.

Hunter's rear wheel unexpectedly dropped and his left foot came off the peg and when he landed he dabbed his left foot and it got swept back and his suspension unloaded and he went straight as Roczen was turned in and gunned it.
>>255771did you'll nigs see the deeg shit on the kitchen god damn that kid is mean but im glad he gave the kid a high five at the end so kitchen doesnt kill himself during the break
>>255773>he gave the kid a high five at the endonly because Sneedgan won. If Kitchen did the same and won the race Sneedan would have a hissy breakdown. None of the 250 riders have the balls to just punt Sneedgan off the track in the first turn. Will be interesting to see Sneedgan try that shit in the 450 class.
>>255813deeg was already like 40 points up on levi lmao like he gives a shit.they both said it was the coolest race of their lives, calm down you fag.
I can't believe levi is such a gentleman haiden legit stopped on the track and blocked him multiple times I would have tboned him the next turn and broke his leg. what a loser the dangerboy is no one else would be cheered on doing absolutely ridiculously not even racing moves like that.

>>254707It goes away. That’s shin splint. If it gets worse dial down.
>>254707you'll get used to it
>>255705Imagine preparing months for a fight and being booped on the face in 3 seconds and it's over. Damn.
I just want the assurance that I can defend myself should it come to that INB4 get a gun, I live in Canada so I can't. I'm thinking about joining an MMA gym to do all of it but I don't think I would be able to put in the requisite time for both grappling and striking training while still lifting and doing cardio. If it is possible please tell me because I plan on going to the fighting classes 3-4 times a week, also please give me info on how much to spar including hard sparring, I want to get decent as fast as possible
>>251752Offense is the best defense and there's no way to avoid it. Reaction is always hundreds of milliseconds slower than action and if someone looks like they're about to jump you, you better attack first. Otherwise you'll end up out cold after a sucker punch and no amount of training is going to save you. To be able to entice violence you need to be athletic and you need to master at least one offensive technique. With these presuppositions you only have a limited scope of martial arts that actually work. It's boxing and any other similar striking art that teach you how to really fight and not practice static katas. Freestyle wrestling and MMA are generally good but you really need to know how to throw a good one two. Sparring is a must until you're no longer afraid to eat a few shots and keep retaliating.There's no way around it, kid. You either speak violence or you don't.
>>252967>nooo BJJ won't work because I watched 3 reels where a dude gets into guard at a tournament>my very few lessons of krav maga (a style well known to actually be less effective than just running away because it gives you false confidence or only works against towelhead children) are so much betterretard>>252968No it doesn't. Grab a friend and give him a red marker. Tell him to pretend it's a knife and try your gay "desarming" techniques. You will get mauled.

>>253154>Or if there's any language about what they're doing being the real stuff and calling other things fakeI didn't hear anything like this really, but I never saw the actual head guy, he was in a different room the whole time
>>253156Just doesn't seem like you enjoyed it much
>>253144there are some WIMPS in martial arts, you'll find them all over the place. It's okay, they're working on themselves and trying to be better. That should be applauded. They actually gotta get better though and not shit talk everyone when they leave to save face though. I always say it's okay to have whiners in the low ranks/belts, but you gotta look out for a place if they're filling the middle ranks too.
I'm a faggot, are there any martial arts which don't require you to trim your nails?

>>255528Judo general been real quiet since this dropped...
>>255712because nobody comes on here
>>255669Depends, if they’re bent over like that but still pressuring forward for some reason then yes you could make that work. Generally I try to make Ken Ken uchi mata started by pulling my opponent down and towards me. If I can’t get that to work I’ll transition into sumi gaeshi. This is different from defensive posturing though where the opponent is just trying to stay away from you. What I think you’re visualizing is an off balance position you force your opponent into rather than something the opponent is doing to try and prevent a throw.If they’re moving backwards and trying to keep you away you might be able to move in for something like yoko tomoe nage but you’d be taking a big risk.
>>250126>>250127This reminds me to warn people on here not to date anybody from their gym. I went out with this girl in my class for over 6 months until I had to break it off and she didn't take too well to it and we had to keep seeing each other every session.Shit sucks, I kept trying to avoid her as much as physically possible and I'm 99% sure she gossiped to the other women in the class. Avoid judo pussy at all cost.

>>245512yea that era of paintball was the peak. mags and cockers, actual athleticism and big paint. i had a shit ton of folks outraged when i suggested a "Classic Mech League" with no space mechs allowed. -revvys only-single trigger -mags and cockers only-no r/t, no hair trigger, limit lbs/trigger pullthe emek and mech trigger kit electro guys were very butthurt that i would come up with a mech game they weren't allowed to hide behind bps with. "you should allow emeks at least" "these rulesmake no sense, theres no difference between modern mechs and the older stuff" "no one will show up to a game like that, its unsponsorable" definitely gave me more incentive to try and actually put something together.
First time posting here, been getting more into paintball as my interest shifts from shooting friends in the woods near our houses to actual field play.Recently fixed up an old spyder fenix (new seals, capacitor I pulled out of a junk pc lol, and some grease) and a WGP autococker. What do you use for lubricants? I got a tube of grease from Evike and it feels a bit thick to use on the striker bolt seal. It's a paste at soom temp so i figure it'd slow the bolt down along its travel and cause the marker to feed slowly. Is this a justified fear? I asked a guy at a shop if lightweight silicone oils were okay to use with sealing surfaces (on markers) and got a resounding no.

Does /xs/ prefer step or strap on bindings? Do step ons work in deep powder?
Halfpipe is gay. Racing is where its at. Freestyle park is alright but terrifies me. Big air is a meme.
>>255563Also skiiers are the most entitled cunts and my carve pattern being their problem is not my problem. I deal with their bullshit moguls and carve patterns just fine. Its called adapt or die. Anyways kids, ALWAYS wear a helmet.
>>255565Also also, step in fucking suck. Do you really expect a couple of snap in ball bearings to keep that board on your feet when you need it most? Im getting a chance to hit the swiss alps this march again for the fir s t time in about 15 years and i fully expect to die. I cant wait to knuckle drag and tear up my glove tips again bros.

What use does aikido have? Most people I talk to consider it useless.
>>248039Because I remember, Mr. Seagul. I remember. Anyway, did your disgusting, morbidly obese ass enjoy gorging yourself at the buffet, Mr. Seagul?
>>254634Add Isshinryu and maybe Shorei-Goju to that list and then you will be able to kick some serious ass. And some TKD. The real taekwondo, not the places that babysits kids. Being able to actually kill someone with a proper head/neck kick is always a good skill to have.
Could the reason aikido doesn’t work have a lot to do with ruleset? In Aikido most techniques are designed to take the opponent to the ground. If you try that in an MMA gym getting to the ground in practically a win condition of a lot of fighters. Also, wristlocks, while technically legal in UFC can be easily mistaken for illegal grabbing of glove maneuvers. Similar situation with heel-palm strikes to the chin and knifehand strikes to the side of the neck.
>>255541Nah it's because no one's gonna hang onto your fucking wrist for long enough for you to do your flowy bullshit. That and they don't pressure test.

Hey /xs/, absolute tourist here, do you guys ever discuss skiing or have a skiing general? I see another thread on cross country, but I'm thinking more alpine or freestyle. Bit early in October, but I'm looking forward to this season, hoping I'm well enough to go.
Got some 2023 sheeva 11s with some tyrolia am 12 on some older atomic 130 hawxs (I think around 2014s, clear red plastic shell). great setup so far got the sheevas for a steal. going to take them to japan with me. only thing i noticed is that the hawx 130s are for sure a colder boot especially when getting some speed on steeper groomers, tried using space blanket to keep the toes warm but mixed results so far
Good god can the west get some fucking snow
>>254675come to japan, we have a lot of snow here
>>254848It's on my list but the plane ride seems like hell. How do you manage such a long flight without going crazy ?
I picked up a set of rossignol 4s racing skis from the 80's or 90's off the side of the road and they seem to be in good condition outside of needing some tlc and some new bindings. Are they worth fixing up or should I just keep them to learn how to perform maintenance like waxing and edge sharpening on my own gear?

>>254476I am with you there. a lot of people think Kendo should just become 19th century gekiken. Even from a "practical" standpoint that would erase the 100+ years of refinement. Kendo has undergone. It also ignores that a lot of Kendo's rules today are their for safety reasons. If you want gekiken you should join one of the koryu or even gendai styles that do it, not whine to Kendo people about their own art.
Kendo is gonna make me such a pro at rock paper scissors!
What kind of muscle tone and body type does swordfighting produce and favor? Need to know for drawing samurai women.
