Long story short, I got jumped by 6 guys and they kicked the shit out of me (fractured my face). Realized that even though I trained years ago I forgot how to fight and I'm looking to get back into it. I got a few options near me they are.>Muay thai gym ran by a former pro fighter I looked up his fights on youtube>Krav maga school ran by some krav maga guy can't find any videos of him having pro fights but in a lot of their videos they do sparring and scenario trainingI'm conflicted between the two on one end, I got jumped by 6 years so not sure if the krav school is what I want or on the other side I want to actually learn to fight and train with fighters not just jerk my dick and pretend I can fight. What would you pick /xs/?
>>204397Definitely the Muay Thai guy. Also practice not getting jumped
Shotgun, sawed-off, load with buckshot.Alternatively, machine pistol.Hell, I could take on a hundred knife-wielding men with a Ma-Deuce from 100 yards away.Germans managed to kill thousands of *heavily armed* men with MG42s in a day.Even a Maxim gun defeated hordes of spear-wielding Africans (they got some range!) with minimal casualties.Yup.If you are concerned about home defense, a claymore will work fine for larger groups.Mounted repeating gun is good too.
>>205071We know you can take on 6 guys at once tough guy, just not in a fight

>>204397As an "experienced combat sports athlete", street fights against multiple opponents are always a loss experience unless you're some fast twitch muscle fiber thick necked 200lb boxer, either that or you know how to use your surroundings to your advantage to funnel your opponents.Learn how to fight fast, integrate head movement and always attack from your shell and be ready to get the fuck out.

>>210657>At this point, a list of components/manufactuers to steer clear of should be put in the OPI'd also add Mucoff dry lube. It's ass. By the end of a 3 hour ride the chain is making noises. It also attracts dust. Taking my chain off and cleaning it with a toothbrush with hot water and dishsoap on the sink is common as the chain always has that layer/plaque of moondust and if I add lube to that it'll wear the chain much faster. I went back to finish line red dry lube after like 2-3 years.
>>211213I just remembered I also have had one of these bottles in the shed for 2 years and it will never be used again due to it attracting so much dust. They want you to only use it in dry conditions and when you do it ends up making the chain dirty. Literally defeats the point of the product.
>>211159>>211160Our local trails through plantation pine forest was bought by a wealthy local. He’s improving all the trails and replanting natives. It’s fucking sweet. All at his own cost and free access for all. Hopefully when finished he opens access to what will be a disused forestry road, it’s a shit of a climb.
>>211342Oops linkhttps://www.mtbtrailstrust.org.nz/Silvan-ForestDespite the map and signage I have never found that pump track but there’s some pretty wild jumps going in right now, I need to up my game but really prefer my wheels close to anka4ithe ground.
Top kek. Reading the commencal fb group it seems they dont cover shit if you ride the bike at all. I looked into the meta V5 SX out of curiosity as the frame was 1900€, geo is good but it will be a hit or miss with quality and if its a miss then you depend on them to cover it. Not the bike you want to keep for more than 2 years.
Looking to start Judo pretty soon, but I have a major concern - not worried about bodily injuries as I know that sort of thing is expected in full contact martial arts. But how common are head/brain injuries, even if they are light? I’m talking concussions or any significant bumps to the head.Anyone have any experience of this, or know how common head injuries are in Judo?t. Physicist, need my brain for work
>>210443Wrong. Fighting is the biggest rush apart from sex. sex is also dangerous because every time you go out there and try to get a girl you face adversity and possible violence from competing males. Yet no one will tell you to avoid itIf you're scared and beta just accept it. But don't try and act like you're above it. Fighting is the purest thingIt's if me and you will locked in a room together, who would walk away based on natural selection and willpower. That's the ultimate question in life
>>193647This>>193657microlegions are going to happen that is certain, but the question is do you do everything to protect your brain? From what I recall alcohol is much more insidious then something as judo, do you drink anon? Do you sleep your 7-9 hours a night? Or you're just a pussy looking for an excuse? Fucking faggot, go back to using formulas you don't understand you insufferable fat fuck, math rains supreme.
>>193647>>193671>terrified of love taps.Hey anon, I took this picture straight out of a Judo Dojo ad, these are the love taps he's talking about, for training they will teach you how to fall in concrete throwing you from a 12 feet letter, straight into concrete, that's the warm up training. t. ex judo fighter

https://youtu.be/SrbCjGeiSXs>start doing bjj>still an incelis it over bjjbros?
>>211273Incel shit is like alcohol wherein if you're not drinking all the time it's just fucking awful to listen to. Made it 35 seconds when he says "typical fatcel."Of all the arguments I hear about BJJ, it's always about how gay it is or how effective it is in street fights. I've never heard anyone say it's a good place to get pussy. Rule of thumb: if a girl is doing BJJ, it's because she's getting fucked by a martial artist. No other woman has the wherewithal to walk through the doors and try something new that's challenging. They have a complex about things being/appearing difficult the same way men have one about hair and wrists.
>>211274I have seen a woman once in my bjj club and it was the wife of a blue belt who was curious about what he was doing thrice a week.
>>211273did this nigga make a 20 minute reaction video to a 4 minute guy blogging in his car?

Why are soys and women attracted to muay Thai

>>211332Well is it really a system or is it a series of accounts of times he kicked ass?
>>211349Both, from what I've seen skimming it. The first half discusses how to kick ass in general, the second half contains accounts of times he kicked ass in particular.
>>211351>accounts of times he kicked assAlso times he had his ass kicked, or kicked his own ass.
>>211332>why isn’t there more discussion about based beer money thiefI’ve done a little Mcbane in my club. The reality is though that he’s the kind of guy who’s book is more interesting because of his life story than it is his fencing, even though he was by all accounts an excellent fencer.

How do we save this shitheap of a martial art? All suggestions and general Power Era nostalgia welcomet. ITF 2nd dan (but not trained in years)
There is no need to fix tkdSome martial arts are based on combat and some are based on the arts partTKD has probably the coolest kicks out of any striking art, backwards kick, head kick, spinning kick and cool combos were you jump on one leg and kick multiple times. It's not made to be le epin ultimate striking art.Same with say judo. Judo banning leg grabs is fine because the point of judo is cool throws.Same with BJJ. BJJ is for guys who really like ground grappling and want to do cool sweeps and submissions.If you want to improve a martial art to make it more combat effective, ask yourself, why not just train MMA? The improvement to the art will just make it MMA lite but worse.
>>211295>>211305One of the funniest things I remember from back when I was competing MT was when we had a TKD guy come into the gym and start doing his toe tag stuff because they do touch sparing and then getting absolutely crushed and leaving. But later I met a serious kickboxer that also did TKD and some of the kicks he was using threw me off at first because I wasn't used to seeing those in MT. So I think there is value in it if you have a serious foundation in real combat sports.
>>211263Have more people do it like Than Le
>>211263Allow grabs.Not even clinch/grappling. Just allowing competitors to grab wrists or catch kicks instantly forces them to stop relying on the current point scoring meta and incentivizes them to use other techniques in their arsenal.
>>211337He was likely karate, not TKD. WT TKD requires that you hit your opponents chest guard hard enough to make a slapping noise. Most TKDings will kick hard enough that you'll feel it, even if it's not enough to injure.>>211344Catching kicks would ruin the sport but being able to grab or push the chest guard would help alot.
(Japanese Kickboxing)
>>204861Scoring never really mattered in striking sports if your "low scoring" style knocks the opponent out.
>>205326Wangchannoi is a good example of this

ive recently picked up kickboxing and wrestling after a half a year absence from half a years worth of boxing.the days I can go to the kickboxing gym we just end up doing nothing but 90% conditioning and 10% drills.I have still yet to learn how to actually properly throw a leg kick, high kick, knee etc. not to mention the place is fucking full to the brim of people.the other gym where I could train kickboxing at spars really hard (imo atleast) and the first day I showed up they, although friendly in conversation, were absolute dicks in sparring and would go hard constantly even during regular fucking drills. I left that gym with a splitting headache, the first time something like that has ever happened.What the fuck do I do? Look for another gym?
>wahh it hurtsMartial arts may not be for you
>>211293>this gym is too soft!>this gym is too hard!>What the fuck do I do? get mauled by a bear, Goldilocks
>>211293Look for another place or another sport, otherwise it is better to train and not learn anything than to have a permanent injury.
Find another gym, they are going to have acquired retardation in 10 years. You barely need to spar hard to get good, sparring at 50% to 10% is perfect
I have done Taekwondo and Judo. In both arts people got injured pretty regularly, sometimes very seriously. I am getting old (I'm in my mid 30s) and don't want any more injuries. What is best martial art style for me to train in?
