>>272509Yes it'll just take longer.
>>272509Training with focused intentionality and doing live work for 2 hours per week, yes/going/ somewhere that has you doing calisthenics and dead repetition for an hour with 15 minutes of fighting for your life at the end? No
>>270500Was he just mad that the guy walked on him?
>>272509yes if you do it mindfully, set yourself goals, think about ways to achieve them and study your options.you can learn something just by understanding and feeling the body mechanics of it, practice is just there to turn it into an automatic habit so you don't need to consciously think while doing it.
I have a new guy at the gym and I legit think he might be a prodigy or something. We're in the same weight class but he picks up shit way faster and I'm seeing him emulate shit and counter shit straight from seeing it once. Shit's no joke, rolling with him feels like I'm rolling with a damn boulder. like holy fuck idk how he's white because he rolls like a brown. I don't think he's sandbagging either because he seems genuine in seeing these techniques for the first time.
Who's looking forward to this year? Will be interesting to see whether the El Niño causes major problems or causes a polar collapse. I'm in Europe, things look optimistic for January onwards.
Mt. Bachelor is my local hill and the forecasters still don't know if it's gonna be better or worse than normal this year. Last season was a disaster and at least it seems like it should be better than that. I'm really interested in getting into XC, I've done downhill since I was a kid but never that, and we've got good places for it plus it's much cheaper to do but it's also much more dependent on natural conditions.
PEOPLE OF THE SKI AREA! GIVE WINTER YOUR ENERGY!
I know it's just an early season dusting...... but we're so fucking back bros
>>272485i want to believe...
Does /xs/ prefer step or strap on bindings? Do step ons work in deep powder?
>>272335>God damn you guys are fucked in all directions in the US.pretty much for the price of a season pass, you can go live in japan and ski for 3 months
>>272336When I looked at Ikon/Epic/Indy, it wasn't very surprising to see resorts in Hakuba and Niseko also participating given the amount of foreign tourists they get.Every year, more and more ski resorts close. This includes "resorts" with just a single pair lift and one or two slopes, so it doesn't sound as dire. Still, doesn't change the fact that there are fewer and fewer resorts each year.I wonder if at some point, some fuck face is gonna do a Vail, purchase what's left, and start fucking everyone sideways.
>>272323Do you just get to go where ever you want on these alpine resorts? Or is the risk of running into a crevice too high?
>>272328Indy pass Chad here. When do we get our physical passes in the mail? Also if usps fucks up and it gets lost how do I even use it at the resort? Usually I just get a season pass at my local but I’m kinda burnt out on riding the same mountain and wanted to drive around to a couple resorts this season instead
The Kessler looks so beautiful. Makes me wish I got the brushed finish on the Korua too, or just sell it and get the Dart Plus for a full BLACKED setup.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=Q1i1xBt9QKYI will explain to you how to win any fight you can think of. mma, ju jitsu, boxing, any 1v1 fights in a metal cage. You pick whatever traditional irl face to face fight in a cage you want and this method will work.The solution will always be the same. I saw a YouTube video of a woman “submitting” and “winning” against a male “marine” in ju jitsu. They were trying to portray her as a strong and skilled woman, but what does that mean? An intelligent human being would be able to solve any problems. That kind of a human would be able to survive no matter what kind of difficult situations she faces. How would you then go up against somebody who is so good at “fighting”? It’s very simple, but we first need to understand what ju jitsu is supposed to be in their delusional minds.You imagine this thing called a “sport” and you imagine a type of “sport” called “ju jitsu”. You imagine that it actually has some kind of a meaning. Then you imagine that these two people can only grab each other in certain ways and move in certain directions because there are rules like no dropping her on her head or stomping on her throat. Then you imagine that the triangle choke can only be finished like this and the armbar or the rear naked choke or whatever the fuck they imagine those made up positions are supposed to be can only do this and that. Then if the guy taps, the fight is over in your mentally ill head. It’s a game for mentally ill people.That should be clear. How could you then possibly win against a woman who can beat a man? You obviously come prepared. You come with knife or gun or whatever you want.You hide it, obviously, because you’re actually clever. Before the fight starts you distract her with something that makes her turn around and look away from you for a few seconds like pointing at the cage door or asking the referee a question, then pull out your gun or knife and shoot or stab her.
>>272406Yes they can lol that's why youre so triggered
>>272436A gorilla and lion can beat up every single mma, boxing, judo and other fighting sports champion humans are smart and use weapons retarded humans are unarmed and practice fighting unarmed and shaking hands and following made up rules
>>272454They can still beat you up though
>>272454do you not know that weapons training included unarmed fighting historically or something? back in the day when they still used melee weapons this was considered absolutely essential.so how about instead of fantasizing about beating black belts with an underhanded knife technique you did in front of the mirror you train some too so you're not a useless obese sack of shit that's all talk?
>>272454Sorry pencilneck, in real like the grappler gets to control the weapon, which is why unarmed combat has been part of the curriculum of nearly every serious weapon-using military since antiquity.

/xs/! What is best in life?
running big days in the mountains, smiling and feeling the alpine air in my hair. seeing that bright summer sun lighting up the wildflowers. grabbing onto solid rock and scrambling your way across a ridge and up a summit, and being scared but still in control. skiiing down the fine scree on the other side, and watching hundreds of meters pass by in minutes. seeing that far valley floor, with the hemlocks and the cedars and the lake at the basin grow closer and closer, and knowing there's snacks at the car at the trailhead and theres friends you haven't made yet at the hostel or parking lot... thinking about the fire you'll have that night, and the tea youll have in your hands, and wondering who will be there beside you.

kook edition>how do I learn to surf?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrwL5_57C6w [Embed] [Open]>How do I pick the right board?Use a volume calculator, and find the right board type for your local break or waves you want to ridehttps://www.jsindustries.com/volume-calculatorhttps://www.boardcave.com/surfboard-volume-calculator>how do I know if the waves are good?go check surfline or magicseaweed for reportsPreviously: >>185762
>>271797so, the city I live in, Perth, is known for horrible surf due to a large patch of shallow offshore reef eating up all the swell before it ever hits the shore. 2 hours south of Perth is Margaret River, arguably the places in the world with most offshore double overhead days per year. You go north and you'll find epic spots like cyclops and stuff all along the coastline. I get my fill on weekends and holiday trips.
watched the cams all day at work yesterday and in the morning it was overhead and offshore, and I had to watch the wind turn as I was sitting in meetings, by the time I got to the beach it was howling onshore... you know you're fucked when you see kitesurfers.Today it was the same with a dropping swell, but when I finally got to the beach it was just light onshores so I paddled a to the only point in my city because there's ALWAYS waves there but even with the crap winds you had to first wrestle a wave from the pack and as you made your way down the line you'd roll into all these kids and their parents on foamies.I got 1 wave after fighting the current and watching countless rippers take off deeper than me and called it a day.
The Rubberman died. I don't even know if it's worth asking for a sticky.
>>272367>Do you still like to bodyboard ever?Not really, mostly because I don't get to surf good waves too often these days. I got bored booging bad waves so surfboard is more fun for now.
>>272440I know what you mean. I force myself to boog shit waves a lot just to stay 'in the game', so to speak. It's fine if you have to do it for like 3-4 sessions but more than that and you start really questioning it. Ultimately I think booging shit waves is more challenging than surfing shit waves.
Just a few years ago everyone wanted to learn kung fu and now kung fu is considered a joke. Everyone wants to learn BJJ and mma in the present year. What happened?
>>270009>Chi was always just a metaphorits always funny seeing retards type shit like thisas I said before, the real killing maneuvers are all extracted and taken outif someone's teaching you palm striking these days, they're not taking it to levels where you're striking the surface of a pan of water with a piece of tofu 4 inches below the surface, and completing the task is destroying the tofutards making it like the old real shit never existed because people dont cultivate it anymore these days
>>270752you can tell when someone knows
>>272172yeah my friend showed me the bing chong feng lee style and how it can be used to literally explode someone's testicles with their mind and it was some crazy shit. wrist locks, 1 inch death punches, scorpion kicks, it has it all. he couldn't teach me the secret tai pong stance though cause he said i wasn't ready.

>>270947>It's the most permissive mainstream competition ruleset.and "MMA" is so broad and spread out that you cannot afford to specialize in anything but the most basic, generic and straightforward skills for the ruleset with your limited training time.
>>270949Taekwondo, Greco-Roman wrestling, etc. still exist as Olympic sports if you want to get into something niche at a high level.
>>270956The point isnt what's best/most effective or what whoever wants to do, it's that with mma being the current meme, the martial arts/combat sports ecosystem shapes itself around it and its culture whether it's conscious or not, the biggest names are ufc fighters, people think about it, try to adapt to/incorporate it, they incorporate the american soft power/mindset around it, "niche" dojos or genuine/local clubs get rarer as they either find no one, die out with no heirs or convert to the new movement.Martial arts have always been cultural and it's normal for a culture to evolve obviously, but I despise the current trend it's going for and I dislike how hard it's becoming to ignoreIirc people said the same last century with karate going sporty, heirloom conflicts and export being bad, the west had its fad of traditionnal martial arts, I guess we're going back to it being exotic or misunderstoid
>>270956why do you keep missing the point? of course you can train things besides "MMA" but this doesn't detract from "MMA" training being a super streamlined cookie cutter approach that attempts to do everything all at once because that's what actual MMA althletes do to get ahead in a highly demanding sport with their afforded time.so if you're planning to train in things beyond "MMA" anyways why not replace the basic generalist mma training with something that better complements your other sport of choice, be it grappling, striking or whatever, especially since you're already taking the time away from that type of training by doing a separate different martial art instead.if you're training separate disciplines you're also doing MMA, just in a different way and for a different ruleset than the specific "MMA" as a sport that's popular nowadays as a very streamlined form for that type of competition.
>>265140You'll have to go to China for that. There's some small towns that hold stongman competitions but it's absolutely non-existent outside. https://youtu.be/e2IL4jmjE90?is=X9XTNwukrGQEnA4Z

Hi anons, I just watched the f1 movie from apple. Just wanted to ask, is the f1 really that hightech? Like I can‘t imagine all the stuff that these guys were using and it honestly suprised me.
>>88443This one makes me so sad. It was his third race. He was so happy when he finally got in f1 that he handed out pin badges with his helmet on it to supporters. He is buried with a small replica of his helmet and with the phrase "he lived for his dream".
