What if UFC had heightclasses instead of weightclasses?
>>198292there's a 5ft gigamanlet in one that would rape you with ease
What if they had melanin classes
>>197415It should be like Kudo.>Athletes are not ranked by weight, but by physical index. The physical index (PI) is the sum of weight, in kilograms, plus height, in centimeters.Category: under 230Category: 230–240Category: 240–250Category: 250–260Category: 260–270Category: 270 and over
>>215030It's pretty effective from what I've seen. The more evenly matched the opponents, the better the fight, and Kudo has some pretty amazing bangers. This is the MMA the world is sleeping on.

Would replacing Judo, Wrestling, etc., by Mixed Wresling Arts and Mixed Striking Arts be beneficial to the Olympics?Consider the following:> circle arena> out = 2 points> knockdown/takedown = 3 points> knockout/submission = 10 points> 3 3 min rounds> protection everywhere including head recommended but not obligatory> first to 10 points, or with more round wins, wins the fightI think it would be far more interesting if there were very diverse ways of winning points and different styles actually clashed with each other.This also ends the notion that the Olympics ruins Martial Arts, since there will be no Point Judo, or Point Karate anymore, just Olympic Striking and Olympic Wrestling. As a bonus you could also add an actual MMA tournament with the best of both sides, but following the same rules.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>207802That might have been true 20 years ago. Go watch the olympics today tkd guys aren't even good at kicking anymore. Unironically Kyokushin karateka are better at literally all the spinny shit while also learning low kicks and thai style etc. Actually even random MMA fighters are better at spinning shit that olympic athletes in tkd today.
>>206483Stupidest idea ever they are separate disciplines for a reason.
Why did they never bring back Pankration?
>>215746It's so close to MMA they won't bring it back out of spite
How about we replace TKD with Sanda, and GR with Kudo?
What is your boxing style and stance? Why did you choose them?
I'm a switch-hitting counterpuncher. My power isn't that great but I body punch a lot and string good combos. I use pressure and fight at angles. I don't like being cornered and had to develop better defense.

Post all things related to baton and knife fighting.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnis
>>203107You didn't even mention France's cane fencing which apparently is a part of Savate.
>>189989>The reality is weapons training makes your empty hands better.The opposite is also true, anyone learning empty hand striking or grappling is improving their knife skills greatly.
>>212550I guess, except sticks are faster than fists and have many more angles of attack than fists.
>>189989I come from a dojo that both teaches karate and arnis (and judo). I think I learned more how to actually use the katas from the arnis practice we have than karate training, specially the disarming methods. Our instructor would even use foot sweeps during disarming lessons to completely overwhelm someone. Tekki and Heian katas make so much more sense after practicing arnis.

>>213797Interesting you say this, I have been flyinh pg since 1999 and can still say that $5 gas in my bike is comparable to flying. Bike is more dangerous tho, not even joking.

Are there any books, or just papers or articles etc, about the basic workout, emblematic calisthenics \workout item\ regimen of workout, of turkish "oil wrestlers", and mongolian-wrestling? Pic related is a book about the hindu pushup and squat workout, the Maces and Stone ring used by Kushti grapplers, etc. it talks about religion and anthropology and semen retention (BASED) but a smart person could reconstruct a kushti wrestling regimen reading it.
>>214188Size, numbers, interest, money. Not necessarily in that order, but the combination is pretty powerful. Fwiw though, the community is really only just starting here and may never take off. Lavell just came back for a seminar tour for the first time in years.

>>217278Then feel free to stop watching, stop talking about it, and definitely stop talking about it here, in english. Since you are so dedicated to tradition, I expect you to be at the grand tournaments, in person, wearing traditional Japanese clothing, speaking Japanese. If you reply to me in english I will take it as a tacit admission of defeat. I also can't read Japanese so if you post on this english language website in it, I will just assume that you are offering your surrender and bussy, in that order.

I have a love/hate relationship with skateboarding, more emphasis on the hate.The highs are not really that high, but the lows go so far that I can't even see the bottom. A 20 min sesh can ruin my mood for the whole day, even leading into the next day, and the next. Yet no matter how much abuse I take I always find myself crawling back to the obsession. Ive been skating for over 3 years, and don't get me wrong, I'm pretty okay, But not nearly as good as I want to be. I can literally count all my tricks on my fingers. Really fucking sad and annoying.I've felt my progression recede, especially in the last year since summer of 2023. I used to fly down stairsets and gaps with steez. Then one day i spent like an hour straight trying to ollie a 6 stair that had a weird landing. Never stuck the landing; kept puting my foot out to catch myself. Ever since that night, i havent been able to do a stairset bigger than a 2. That was over a year ago. I can no longer progress it seems like. I've hurt myself so much doing such basic things that my body locks up and won't let me do anything I'm uncomfortable with. I get fucktards everyday telling me to "just commit bro" well it's not the fucking simple. Easy for them to say when they haven't multiple debilitating injuries. For reference, I've injured myself to the point where it changed the course of my entire life (having to drop out of post secondary school). I've thought about quitting so many times. But it's impossible to escape. All my friends/hobbies/fashion/ memorabilia is directly related to skateboarding. There's that thing people say, once a skater always a skater. I hate skateboarding, but I'm addicted and I'll never quit.
>>214784No
switch to rollerskates. many benefits.-no longer looking like a hobo.-same adrenaline rush.-actual improvement to your physical condition.-going much faster!!!-less pressure on tricks (which you apparently suck at)-more control of what every part of ur body is doing to the motion, unlike skatetards who depend on polished even concrete or whatvr-still sk8ting (kinda.iguess)
>>209121>>209121>The highs are not really that high, but the lows go so far that I can't even see the bottomi just had a sesh today idk i really miss the sensation of slamming into concrete?? its familiar and quite grounding (heh) overall very catharticanyways do u skate other than hucking yourself off stairs, that is also a big factor idk what if u turn out to be a ledge guy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yikyaJEYmYA&list=RDLWwIOeWjV-U&index=12&ab_channel=Freeskatemag
>>209135>Your path is clear. You must become a coach and skate vicariously through your students. You might think you're awful at skating, but to a kid who can barely balance on the board you're going to seem like a grizzled veteran. If you choose this path, one day you're going to watch one of your disciples surpass you, and that will make it all worthwhile.this is kinda cope desu>>209148>you need to stop chasing those mother fucking stairs and work on other shitLMAO yeah i wasnt mean enough to say it>>209151>>Ive been skating for over 3 years>lol, lmao even>>209156>i remember being 9 years old>>209157>>Zoomies growing upLOL Comment too long.

>>209121just start skating bigger grass gaps for a while, work on your technique and build back your confidence. also fwiw anon some sets are just kind of fucked in ways that are hard to observe until you actually skate them. there are 6 stairs that'll work you harder than a 10. sometimes the easy shit is what makes you rage the hardest.
Where are all the black champs?
>>212797Doesn't Jon Jones currently hold a belt/championship?
>>212936Yes but it's a propaganda shtick. Aspinall is the interim champ and Jones is scared of him and doesn't have to fight him. He's defending his titles against a retired grandpa who hasn't fought in five years while Aspinall is calling him out and is ready to go. Even the way he won the title looked bullshit (first round submission with 0 damage)He's a confirmed roidhead who never really got punished for it and instead propped up
>>212797They lost>>213660I'm pulling for Stipe to win because Stipe said he would fight Tom. I know it's a long shot but it would be very satisfying.
>>212797Same argument in boxing. The majority of black athletes who live in countries with combat sport opportunities are in the NFL, NBA and Football in the EU. Some black fighters today in the UFC are guys like Jamahal Hill who tried to make it as a basketball player first but failed so started MMA in his late 20's. Also guys like Ngannou and Izzy are immigrants who took on MMA at later points in their lives. Every now and then you get fighters like Jon Jones and Usman who wrestled but once again most inner city black kids get groomed into basketball or football. Even with that though about a year and a half ago 5 of the 8 champions were black but very quickly it switched up so it could switch up again at some point. As for now there doesn't seem to be many black fighters today who come from extensive competitive combat backgrounds like that of Jones and DC. There are many in Cuba though but due to Cuba's relationship with the US I doubt we'll see many in the UFC.
Reminder that the GOAT did nothing wrong, ever
I don't know who that is but if you have to open by saying he did nothing wrong ever, that kind of sounds like he did something pretty wrong
