>>253881It sure as shit isn't white trash on wheels either.
muscles =/= athleticismSome bloated powersharter that can bench 400lbs but can't scratch his own back and gets winded walking up a flight of stairs is not a formidable opponent for any intermediate martial artist (unless you're some 120lbs turbo manlet). Same goes for your average bodybuilder who in the grand scheme of things is probably not even that strong and poor overall athleticsim.Now a guy that's explosive and fast, and legit has top 1% genetics (like a D1 football player or something) AND lifts weights, that's where things become problematic and where the real "strength vs skill" debate begins.>>258532When it comes to people that are untrained, it barely matters. Especially if that weight "advantage" is derived from a guy just being an out of shape fat ass.Even at an amateur level it's not that big of a deal. I'm 180lbs and I regularly dunk on dudes 40 pounds heavier than me in sparring. I've even had a couple smokers in local shoddy competitions where there was a big weight difference (20lbs-30lbs pounds) because my opponents failed to make weight/the organization was crummy and they'd match you up with whomever and it was fine. You can see it in those YouTube fight orgs as well, like Streetbeefs, which have dubious match ups in terms of size, but smaller guys manage to come out on top frequently.If anything "muh weight classes" is super overrated because most people are just hobbyists that will never reach a level where weight becomes the truly limiting factor

>>258539being a fan and promotor of skateboarding has to be the most embarrassing thing on earth. The whole culture is based around doing heroin and not contributing to anything.

What's the oldest known martial art? Is it Sebek-kha?
>>257583>Pretty much this. Virtually every single culture in existence has a documented tradition of wrestling, to a greater or lesser degreeAnd then I would simply defer to the oldest culture. So if Homo Sapiens originated in east Africa, then I would suggest maybe Nuba wrestling? But the thought occurred to me that perhaps there were martial arts before Homo Sapiens...
>>257545Isn't it Kalarippyattu?
>>257595It's claims to historicity mostly rely on chinese apochrypal texts from the 17th century claiming to be about a man who supposedly lived in the 5~6th century. In all likelihood kalaripayattu as it exists today is only a couple hundred years old at best.

>>258646>make shit upNo, nabatame really did send a picture of his dick to a tranny kek
>>258623He has a Yokozuna license. That makes him a "legit" Yokozuna.

Promoted to orange belt!(in case anyone is wondering yes that’s a capybara shirt I’m wearing underneath )It’s been an awesome 1.3 years of judo! I’ve been improving my technique and did amazing at two recent tournaments. The progress shall continue to be strong
>>239408Are you sure it's not a beaver?
>>254112Yes, I'm wearing the shirt.
>>258162Looks like a beaver to me dude
>>239408Nice. Took me like 3 years to get the orange belt (covid inbetween)

This is all you need to win.
I don’t want to start a whole thread about it so I’ll post it here:I think situational awareness is a meme created by self defense instructors who want to rake in cash and not risk legal consequences by teaching fighting which could get them sued if their fighting techniques don’t work.

>>215575You are just poor at judging risk and think your abilities are infallible and overrate the risk of other people injuring you in a activity versus you injuring yourself.
>>207635it is VERY noisy. Dad used to do it, he had to wear earplugs and eventually sold the engine because of that. Using the wind and thermals as your engine is far better+ you dont become a fatass as you actually have to hike up the mountain to the takeoff. Also cheaper
>>211438too low for that i think. He shouldve been holding his controls instead of the phone then he wouldve been able to fix the collapse in time.
>>209064>Aaaaurgh aaaaaaaaurgh...>I craaaaaaashedThat video had no business being so funny
>>257200I agree using the wind and thermals is better, but blocking the noise is not that difficult, use earplugs and over the ear style muffs and the sound is all but gone. However, this does nothing to help everyone with the misfortune of being near you.>>256887I know I am not infallible so I think very carefully when choosing when and where to fly. If you knew much about pg's you would agree that most acciidents are 100% avoidable (not all unfortunately). Motorbikes on the street are completely different, every motorist you encounter along the way has the potential to end your life in a second and in many cases there is nothing you could do about it.
Any sport. Looking for old school stuff in particular.

>>253869The South African grand prix death video is very extreme. A track marshall gets hit by an f1 car at full speed through a straight. The impact sends the man spinning so violently his body rips itself apart. All that was left of him was an unrecognizable lump of gore. The only way the officials could determine who was hit was by taking a roll call.

As someone who is the same age as charlie, snowboarded my first black slope, learning skateboarding, falling off now and again.Charlie is full of shit here.https://youtube.com/shorts/lOW0gnh4kS4?si=iPYsrzzWuKEltLF1
>>252015some retard
>>251994Yeah I agree, I think skateboarding is a little less forgiving than say snowboarding or wakeskating or whatever given that you're falling on concrete but you can still do it...you just gotta work your way up to the cool stuff. That being said I broke my ankle skating at 30, had to get plates and screws put in, and haven't really got back into it since but it's more of a mental thing than anything else for me
skateparks are full of teens and crackheads, not really the best of places
i'm 37 and i bought a skateboard again a couple years ago because i used to skate when i was in my late teens but my body feels too heavy now and I twisted my ankle and it hurt way more than it used to and i need to go to work and cant afford to injure myself and be out of work for two weeks over a bad ankle.
>>257977GOOGLE KNEES OVER TOES GUY
How would you create a martial art that had as it's main purpose to be most effective against UNTRAINED people? Are there any techniques that are useless in a trained context but disproportionally effective when used against untrained people?Kind of like how in chess there are openings that are principally not sound and easily rebuked by people who know how to play chess, but allow you to easily checkmate a complete beginner (like the scholar's mate).
Headbutts are the first thing that spring to mind when I hear "disproportionately effective". Basically takes no skill in terms of technique or execution but can have devastating effects.
>>251389Master the art of crackhead fighting
>>251389If any martial art isn't good against untrained people, that shouldn't even qualify as one
>>251389The average person can't react, has shit footwork and no stamina. So anything that moves a lot and has deadly strikes works.That's basically a lesser version of Capoeira desu.
>>251389If you are attacking/defending against untrained people on the street, use a gun or some other weapon for the best results. Martial arts are a sport first and foremost.

Got my gur rank for the styles of Kali and Silat I do two years ago. Still feel like a failure and that I don't deserve it. Fractured ribs on my first Guro ranking attempt which I of course I failed. Does the feeling ever go away?

What's so extreme about martial arts? There are no real "extreme" martial arts anymore.
idk ufc and other mma promotions can get pretty extreme
>>257801Yeah, they don't want anything to break
>>257804I heard they’re very careful when doing bull ups for this reason
Would being being a bioengineer while performing martial arts be an extreme sport?

im looking for ideas for a gambling site,i think there's opportunity to create something really fun and idiotic for people to gamble on, something that isn't dull like horse racing.Marble racing is cool but its been done before, claw machines same thing.With AI you can code things with zero effort, but it doesn't have the human creativity for good concepts.please give me your suggestions on what cool and fun virtual things you would like to bet on and how the game would function.. e.g race/chance/obstacles..and if you're interesting in collaborating potentially drop a disc

Does it count as an extreme sport of you use safety equipment?
