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)
>>251156you misunderstand me. Like that nunchaku tournament in this thread. Sanda but add weapons.
divide it in 3 big groups>sportslet'em do whatever they want. buy belts. kiddy shit>martial artbring it back to 90s and before. some do barehand only, some do some yellow guy weapons stuff you won't find irl unless you own them plus knife and stick. we keep belts but you actually earn it on a tournament and you only spend on an official certificate based on your teacher's word). KO, TKO or give up.>martial fightingwe go OG manuals and myths. survival moves, that's it. Add current weaponry. Colored belts and light, gay uniforms are gone. Sturdy, Judo like gis that are styled like normal clothes for grappling's sake. Shoes stay on. A new, exclusive product: Roman Cestus like gloves (not the spikes kind) the Tae Kwon Do people now carry on their pockets 24/7. Tkd is now a thing you fear and respect again...and then there's foot jabbing with a helmet for the kids
>>211263The answer is simple, get more practitioners go into mma and kickboxing the more the better because the more successful it becomes the more people will get drawn to it, this is what made bjj so successful despite being the karate/tkd of grappling.Traditional and the asian flare are no longer enough to attract new members and the current members are content in a stagnant bubble just latching to what they know.The only way to progress is through high level competition and that only exist in modern combat sports, this applies to any tma.
I went to my first taekwondo class tonight and it was just really casual I guess? I don't know what I was expecting, but no one was in a uniform except the two instructors, I was easily the most fit person there, the students I saw were hitting the bags really light and sloppily with no energy, and the young kid (maybe 14) I was training with just whined the entire time about being dizzy from spin kicks. Is this normal? There's only one other place in my town so this might be it for me. I'm on a 30 day free trial so i lose nothing if I don't go back
>>253145>Is this normal?No
How likely is it to practice martial arts in home, and how can it be done?
>>250002Train at home for exercise and fine-tune your techniques. Work out and get stronger when home training. Go all out once you're back in the dojo/home. Get footage of your sparring bouts. Analyze that at home and try to fix your home routine for improvement. >>250098>Yeah, man. Go spar all day everyday.Stupid ass nigger watches some fight fag youtuber and Joe Rogan once thinks he knows shit. This is some retarded ass post.
>>250002If you go to a school and learn, don't you usually get homework? You can definitely get "good" by training by yourself
The real trick is that you only train what you actually know. Stop trying to learn new stuff alone, just train your limited knowledge to its peak physicality. A teacher would recognize it and give you something new to work on when you visit. That's like... krotty 101.
Do you think breakfalls can be trained alone? I’ve tried and I tend to slam my lower back against the ground which doesn’t seem right but since I lack a teacher I don’t actually know for sure.
>>250002Sure, you can even do it with zero equipment if you're okay with the kung fu mindset, which is pretty much doing huge numbers of reps in order to build up to increasingly more difficult movements. You don't learn how to kill people right away but your body becomes a weapon capable of that based on level of daily effort.
How do Muay Thai fighters train? Do they do technique, cardio, sparring, and calisthenics?
no none of that
yes to all
>have a skateboard as a kid>don't mind skateboarding>get rid of it as an adult>realize skateboarders are awful and skateboarding is badHave I become a caricature of the out of touch adult? It seems to me just like how golf attracts sociopathic fat rich people, skateboarding attracts sociopathic skinny poor people. I've been attacked by skateboarders as an adult for just minding my own business, they used to see me as one of them, now that I have a job and own my home they see me as an enemy and I see them as an enemy. Instinctively! It's fucking weird I feel like I'm living in a cartoon. Do other people go through this?
>>253194Once you hit 30 you'll realise that the other people engaging in a hobby/sport do not define it. Just like you don't have to be a beer swilling, soon to be heart attack having, greasy as fuck face having creature to play darts. You can engage with skating however you like and don't need to be a drugged up street urchin wannabeWhat I'm trying to say is: Get oooooover yourself faaaaaaaggot

>>252144I think they talk the most shit out of anyone relative to how much they never fight
>>252186They also slap and it was a form developed by women, so the theory checks out. TKD is fairly gay however. You ever watch it at the olympics? Just tiny thin gooks flaling pant legs at each other for contact with 0 power. Its like the flag football of martial arts.
>>252210I can find things to respect about shit martial arts, some redeeming quality that makes them worthwhileFor TKD I am impressed by the flexibility and balance they cultivate. Even if it's not good for fighting the up side of physical fitness is always a good qualityI don't think I have anything nice to say about WC

Any Pickleball enjoyers in here? We started playing at work every day for a few hours and HOLY SHIT.. it's good
I've never been but I ordered some paddles. Will my $25 Walmart paddles work ok?
>>243237Dude you should try this thread over on /spThough, pickleball is extreme af.. I saw some guys with face tattoos playing pickleball and they were dri king redball and getting real rowdy.
>>243237I pickle my balls in your mouth, retard.

How risky is it to learn to box with vision problems? Is it possible to learn real boxing, meaning with sparring, if you have myopia or moderate astigmatism? I can't stand feeling so insecure about my body and my lack of willpower
>>250634I'm short sighted and i do kickboxing, it's not a problem, the distance where you throw punches is close enough, yeah you might be at a small disadvantage but it's not like you're aiming for world championship. If you're really worried do grappling instead.
>>250634my vision kinda sucks, the honest answer is that it depends. You're not going to need super hawk vision for anything, you're not looking for them to clench their first in a magic death punch or nothing. If you can see their body and the general twist of their hands, that's gonna be sufficient.
>>250634use the force
>>250634You can adapt with training. Naoya Inoue sustained a cut during a boxing match against Donaire, which impeded his vision. He compensated by gluing his right hand over his compromised eye, which he learned from watching Donaire himself when it happened to him in a previous fight. webm relatedPrior to getting eye surgery, former interim UFC champion Justin Gaethje was almost legally blind.>20/60 in one eye and 20/200 in another eye>far sighted in one eye and nearsighted in another eyeHis fighting style at the time reflected this. He used a forward-pressure style with a high guard and relied on taking hits on his forearms and wrestling with his hands to know whether they were close enough to hit.
>>250634There was a local famous heavyweight who wore thick "Bubbles-style" glasses when he wasn't fighting
hi /xs/ this is my cat rupert, hes a very adventurous cat and i was thinking about going skydiving with him. ive been skydiving before and i liked it, does anyone have any experience skydiving with a cat, or any pet?
>>246088That’s a pretty shitty idea anon, stressing the hell out of your cat for no reason is just abuse. Rupert is very cute though.
>>246088wait, like, THE Rupert? Like picrelated?
Rumor has it if a cat has enough time to right itself and spread out their terminal velocity is lower than what it takes to injur them so beyondNo gear required, just drop him and he'll be fine
>>251648OP is this you
>>251648dude another rupert get, rare added to my collection
