>>267885>even then the higher belts just completely fold meThat's what is supposed to happen? If people who weigh less than you flip you around no problem then this means the techniques work. Spend enough time you can use them as well.
>>267886Yeah I know but fuck man it's not even a struggle for them at all and I'm just hella frustrated with myself when I get stuck. I mean they do help me and tell me what to do or what to try but they'll make it pass a few times and then FUCK THEY COUNTERED IT. I just wish I could give a better fight. fricking lost against someone in their first class yesterday (and although he said he was "new", he was built like a fucking tank and he instantly triangle'd me and I was straight wtf). it's not that I even want to win, it's just that I hate the feeling like when you're playing a fighting game and you're getting out zoned and literally did fucking nothing the entire game.

Swell was TINY, so I drove with the bros to a swell magnet and surprisingly there were drops on some shallow sand banks. When we got there we found the aspiring groms from the local and they were making fun of me, cheeky little bastards.
Went to the star break today. Managed some drops, hit the lip once or twice. Surprisingly, I got more waves when the crowd was bigger. I must be the only kook who adjusts his stance on the thruster by hopping, lol. Will hit it in the evening as well
Yo where the surfers at?
Surfed for 3 hours today. I am tired, like first-days-of-surfing tired. Caugjt a few good ones. I have a 7'2 because I heard Sterling say that that was the length of the board with which Tom Curren surfed The Wave at J-Bay

Who let all these faggots in here?
>>268000>MS13This is actually code for nazi shit too. MS13 or MSAC which is close to NSDAP and even the 1 stands for Adolf and the 3 stands for Christ. It ultimately means niggers are not allowed in their Mexican club which is inherently racist.
>>268019MS13 was founded by Salvadorans having a fit over the Los Angeles Mexican gangs telling them "no immigrants, you have to be a true blue redblooded Mexican-American to join our gangs". 13 isn't one-three, it's Thirteen. for the letter M, for Marabunta. some Salvadoran slang word.
>>268020Seems troubling and like something we need to circle back on to ensure inclusivity and no racism is occuring in these circles. The skate industry should take a long look at itself over this.

If punches below the belt, more specifically punches to the thigh, knee and calf were allowed in Boxing, would they affect the meta at all?Some stances are so wide and heavy that I think a good hook to the side of the knee could fuck someone up. Punching the thigh would only work if done repeatedly, I think. Now calf punches sound absurd lol, but I think in some fights were guys have wildly different frames I think it could be used.

>>266599Filipino martial arts has this really obstinate insistence that all knife and stick MUST transfer to empty hands. To be fair, a lot of it does! Like more than people think. This is just a case where they're just wrong and stubborn about it.

what martial art should i do after taekwondo? i'm currently abt to be a black belt in ITF taekwondo and i noticed that it kinda sucks due to the lack of handwork.ive been thinking of exploring either judo (since im pretty big) or eskrima (for grappling techniques and knifeplay). in general im looking for a style that is more hands-focused to go with the footwork of taekwondo
>>247891Combat Sambo if you can find, you can make Combat TKD! https://youtube.com/shorts/B4LIsuuFR6w
boxing or any grappling martial art. boxing because taekwondo, no matter the type, has shitty punching technique and defense (check https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pn98RdwPw48 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nz-kU1X0Q2I, which are boxers beating taekwondoins from the ITF). grappling martial arts because you only know striking and MAYBE some takedowns (if your school actually teached you them), since you said you're big then any will do, though judo would be my main recommendation
Why not just boxing? TKD strikes suck, you want something hands focused..
>>247891My taekwondo instructor bundled it with judo while teaching combatives during the Korean War. Stateside, all of his taekwondo students were made to learn some judo and all his judo students learned some taekwondo. They seemed to go well together. I would prioritize judo over eskrima but do at least dabble in eskrima if you can because considerations change in an environment where weapons are a possibility and not every judo school is going to spend time on that.
I actually rate taekwondo if you enjoy it just carry on >>247908This Obviously if you want to be well rounded do boxing or a grappling style . More urgently a grappling style
Oh look, a longboarding thread!

Ladies look amazing when they grapple
>>261880I wish there was a women of MMA / BJJ porn category. Not talking about the mixed fights porn women. I want to see fit women in open untied GIs with perky breasts showing.
>>265432If you are referring to actual professional grapplers, then yes that would be awesome. The fet categories feature amateurs and models, but companies like DWW were closest to getting there (Svetlana Kr happened to do mma style matches and wrestling for DWW videos, but also did a real televised professional fight we Olena in Ukraine)
>>261918>6 tb of it savedOnly 6 tb? I guess it depends on the quality or you may need more
>>267844>>267844Yep it depends. Most matches from prior to UHD are reasonable file sizes. Things from the 90s and early 2000s are generally wmv or mov format and quite small too. So in 6tb you could fit many classic wrestling matches from various producers and organizations.

surprising that more fighters don't realize that calling Jonah's bluff is the quickest way to get their name out there. and there's only going to be a limited time to do it before he reinvents himself again in a few months

>>267570There are too many troons and other dysgenic losers. It's much less of a problem in normal martial arts and combat sports. Why would you expect anything sane or aesthetic from that demographic?
>>267752This point cannot be overstated. At the HEMA club I go to, there are about 5 people who are athletic. All 5 of them are fun to talk to, cool dudes (and one girl) and not dysgenic freaks. Doing drills or sparring with them is similar to normal martial art, they are focused and trying to improve while also having a good time.Then there's about 20 more people in the club who range from awkward unathletic dweebs who say "Huzzah!" and want to smugly lecture the most basic knowledge "The spear is actually FAR superior as a weapon of war...", and then there's the real tranny freaks. Also, I always notice how many of them don't understand how to move their bodies or how improving motor skills and muscle memory works in the least. A good 1/3 of them, if the instructor teaches a technique and shows how he wants you to drill it, these guys will do it one time and then just stop and sit there. Their mindset is that they did the technique and it makes sense, so they've learned it now. Needless to say, they get absolutely smoked in every sparring session and refuse anyone who wants to involve grappling.So when a huge chunk of HEMA people in the US are unathletic dorks and trannies, it is impossible to pitch it as a martial discipline when people see what the day-to-day meets are like.
How goes the training bros? Im workshopping a crescent kick -> sideswing combo. Just learned how to do a roundhouse with my front foot and it is incredibly awkward. I also keep dropping my arms or raising them too high like a muay thai fighter when sparring. Im thinking of trying resistance training in the water now that it is summertime. Any tips for that?Remember you must never use it unless you know how to incapacitate without evidence.
do you think you will be a karate master one day?
>>267068Probably going to go to a judo dojo across town. That or possibly a muay thai gym a little bit closer. Maybe try both and see which one I like more.
What is your view on weapons? Are they important to train? Why would they matter? When should someone start training with them? Yes obviously gun beats sword and no one walks around with a katana
>>267666They are cool to train even if you aren't training for Le self defense. Kobudo is typically taught separate from the empty hand stuff, but sometimes you can train both at the same time. I don't think there's any prerequisite to start learning weapons it's pretty much just when your teacher wants you to.
There's a Meibukan dojo I wanna try near me. What am I in for? What's the difference between them and other Goju schools? Noob at karate here, but a BJJ brown belt so I'm not completely new to martial arts. For what it's worth I know it's gonna be extremely different to a BJJ school. I'm more interested in it to practice 'karate' than for effective striking or self defense.
