Where do you sit on the tradition vs sport debate?
>>259715traditions are perpetually becoming sports
Tradition to me implies an unbroken lineage which is not what we have today in martial arts or things like HEMA. All the Chinese stuff is basically made up (did you know all these "ancient" kung fu styles post-date Queensberry rules boxing?). HEMA is just dweebs with pony tails trying their best to recreate things from books, but it's preposterous to pretend that these dweebs are somehow in the same continuum as a guy that was getting into actual sword fights 16th century Venice or whatever.Sports are ultimately also much more effective manifestations of whatever art they're based on because they actually compete and engage in the thing they're teaching (albeit in simulated ways). Any Olympic style fencer that tries HEMA ends up destroying everybody because of superior fundamentals like foot work and distance management (let's not even talk about sports combat vs kung fu guys, we all know how that goes). Culture clashing in reality is a common theme throughout humanity, and in the end it's always reality that wins out. How you feel about that is up to you.
Stupid unrealistic shit. Both would get slaughtered.A swordsman with no shield gets slaughtered by a spearman with no shield 99% of the time.A swordsman or a spearman with no shield gets slaughtered by anyone with a bow or just darts. Every Roman soldier carried with him a bunch of darts for this reason.
Is the debate between sport vs “tradition” or do you mean something like sport vs “martial art”.Any sport can be a tradition. Even if you believe kendo is a sport, it’s still a tradition. Just because something is traditional doesn’t make it more realistic or whatever.Arguably, HEMA is less of a tradition than kendo, as it is a reconstructed art. But I guess that depends on your idea of tradition.>>261245A Roman soldier would be easily dispatched by my Glock 19
>>261245swordsman with no shield has no shield because he's completely armored against your stupid darts

>>258718its just fact man riding a jetski once causes minor but permanent CTE
>>258721Sure dudeMaybe blinking too much? Somebody giving you a jumpscare?
All the uproar about boxing deaths is based on emotionalism rather than rational reasoning. People have crunched the numbers, and there have been less than 500 fatalities since the 1950's, and that's out of millions of bouts. A disproportionate numbers are also from before 1983, which is when they tightened up a lot of safety regulations. Since 2000 there's about 1-2 fatalities per year, on average. Being a pizza delivery driver is probably more dangerous than being a boxer. Two fighters dying on the same card is a complete freak statistical anomaly, and as unfortunate as it is, it's not really representative of anything.It doesn't even relate to sparring, anyway. Dying from subdermal hematoma because you got walloped for 12 rounds straight by a pro boxer is a completely different ball game than playing patty cake at 30% intensity at your local gym Muay Thai gym.Also if you want a real redpill, the clinical evidence we have for CTE even existing in the first place is very poor, let alone its prevalence.

>>2554171 year in but how many stripes and how much do you train? If you don't train often you are basically less than 1 stripe. Also it's pretty common new people join and they either have experience, are judo people or wrestlers. I've tapped blue/purple belts by them just going into turtle and me going oh this is like judo I'll just British roll his ass into a bow and arrow. That's the type of newfags you will spar with sometimes and we won't really talk about it.I also suck at retaining guard so join the club.
>>255474Almost nothing in terms of takedowns from what I've seen and heard. Don't go to bjj expecting to learn a standing game. In Judo you will likely spend maybe 20% of your time in newaza.
>>256280training dummy to practice techniques on, it's super gay and just a matter of time till you slit it a new asshole and put a fleshlight in it.
>>256584Partly true you have next to no takedown game and you don't need more newaza knowledge than what an orange belt has and he is better at explosiveness and top pressure in a real fight.
>>255181The first few times I went to my gym there was this smoking hot ~20y/o tiny asian girl. The first time I didn't interact with her and the second time we got partnered up about half the class. It was insanely hot to mount her, be mounted, etc while her tiny body is soaked in sweat pressed against mine.Am I a creep/weirdo for this? Is this a normal UX? DESU when we were rolling I was mostly focused on the jiujitsu so I didn't even pop a boner, but I couldn't stop myself from thinking about it for the rest of the week. Imagining practicing a guillotine with her where those delicious yellow thighs wrap around my neck and squeeze. She stopped showing up so the issue resolved itself; she was the only girl at the gym.

Hey /xs/, absolute tourist here, do you guys ever discuss skiing or have a skiing general? I see another thread on cross country, but I'm thinking more alpine or freestyle. Bit early in October, but I'm looking forward to this season, hoping I'm well enough to go.
I tried cross country skiing for the first time yesterday and it absolutely kicked my ass. It was fun though so I'll be on the lookout for a cheap pair of skis on facebook marketplace or craigslist or something.
Irish guy here.I want to go skiing/snowboarding before the season is up, is there any good places nearby that would have good snow in April?
Went skiing last week for the first time in 20 something years with minimal experience before that. I didn't really know how it would go, but it went better than expected. I felt quite confident at the end of the day, although I stuck to the green (with some blue parts).Looking to buy some skis and boots now. I have a local "mountain" nearby (more like a big hill) with a lift and plastic thing for summer skiing, at least on one of two lanes.
bros I'm gonna kill myself this season sucked so bad
>>259043This season was absolute fucking dogshit. My local usually makes it to memorial day and we didn't even make it out of april this year. Some of the lower elevation places in the area didn't even make it to february.

Do skateboarders really hate scooters? I don't see why they would, scooters can be cool if done rightWhich one do yall prefer more?
>>259641a lot of the tricks do look the same to be fair. There seems to be a difference with park scootering and street scootering though. Street seems to get as close to skateboarding as it can, with just simple tricks and stuff, lots of grinds/slides, etc etc. Park scootering has the fuckin over the head spinny shit youll do mid air and personally, that seems so lame. Most of the hate towards scooters would prob go away if parents didnt dump their kids off at the skate park anyway
>>259641On an aesthetic level it looks stupid because of the fucking handlebars lmao. Riding a ramp or really doing anything with a scooter takes no skill, practice, and carries a drastically lower risk of injury. Every scooter kid would just skate if skating was easy but skating is not easy so that's why they don't do it.
>>259635It's the people who do it. Scooter kids are annoying and roll in packs of 10. A random kid scootering and respecting skate park etiquette is fine.
>>259635It looks silly and takes less skill than skating, blading, or BMX to get good at. I hated them when I was young. Now, I don't care as long as they stay out of the way.

Hello everybody . So like a 6 months ago my old "friend" begged me to lent my dh mtb to his friend, and I told it would be a good idea to strengthen our friendship. with some hesitation I lent it to them the next day. Shortly after 2 days they returned everything was fine, and than they begged me to lent them bike again because his friends bike was broken, and we decided to store it at my basement. Than 1,2 days after they took that broken bike out of basement and sold it. And then begged to lent my dh Bike again for 4 days, because "I don't need I'm not riding that much" well yes I was preparing for exams. I said like ok but not for more days, my parents didn't knew that I lent it. Than passed like 2,3 weeks of me literally begging them to return it, also my "old friend" was my classmate so I was questioning him every day, and he replied : it's not my problem you lent bike to him not to me. I can write even more in details what happend but it would be long if anyone interested in. After 3 weeks of me begging them they returned me it, transmission destroyed, and every bearing was with rusty water. As an excuse for what they did, they said that I abandoned my friend when we were 13 years old in the forest, and it was telling his friend who wasn't even at the moment it happend, basically imagine the start of small local forest near city where many people hanging out, and we left him in close to exit area waiting for him like literally a wide trail that goes only in one way, as result he walked out with bike only with some mud stains on shirt. And that was an excuse, ok but then they told that they found buyer for my cycle, but they will be selling it without me without my supervision because they told everybody that it's their cycle. I declined it and then they threatened me that they won't give back my tools that I lent them earlier. At this point I told my parents about it, and I got my tools back, and it's not the end of the story. It is too long.
>>246766yea, dont lend people anything. i had to go around to my neighbours to get my paintbrush back that they never used after 3 months,
>>246766well you learned who your friends really are.As a proper bike autist I never let people borrow anything that I want back in the end.And never to anyone who is black, Indian, or has any kind of YN behavior
>>246766Register your bike on bikeindex and with the local police. If someone "borrows" your bike and won't give it back, tell the police it's stolen and you know who stole it. And never lend those people anything again, ever.
We need a new MTB thread. The last ones archived.
