Absolute pathetic.
>>195634Fuck off Abelardo. There’s a reason people who come into frequent contact with zucas generally absolutely despise them.
>>195763 I will lay it all out for youBjj is on the way out, where like karate it may have growing popularity among normals but gets taken less and less seriously by martial arts dorksBjj is a kimono based grappling style with very rudimentary basic takedowns, no real stand up grappling skills to speak of, and a built in aversion to leg entanglement based attacksNow the white man has come along, ditched the gi, embraced wrestling, and developed new leg attacking systems to make use of attacks previously shunned and banned by the Brazilians for decadesThey call this submission grappling, and you're seeing it pop up where there gyms are now changing their names to say that instead of Brazilian jiujiujitsu The Brazilians are very salty about this because what's happening to them is what they did to the japaneseA lot of judofags say bjj is basically just judo, we've always had all that stuff too (cope and lie)Now bjjfags are looking at submission grappling and saying it's basically just bjj, we have always had all that stuff too (cope and lie)
>>195817Using your terms I have always been doing submission grappling. I have seen a fair bit of cope from bjj guys getting upset no one will listen to there out dated shit.If bjj will vanish and leave behind submission grappling I think it is for the best.
>>195819The legacy of bjj will be its asinine rules that retarded the development of grappling for a generationWe can thank keenan for accelerating its death with his lapel innovations that exposed just how stupid and easily exploited the rules areIn the future I will have nogi submission grappling only, however I will still rank people up because acquiring ranks is important for lots of folksInstead of belts though I will give them kawaii pantsu, white, tiffany, pink, duckling, and moissanite So that way people can receive something for their hard work but it's attached to a humiliation ritual because you should be embarrassed if that's what you care about
>>195600What if I have martial arts autism
Seems the gap is closing. Thoughts?
>>177925your dad is a faggot
>>146650I let my chubby ex do this to my twink ass all the time just so I could lift her up. she was retarded and I'd have to guide her into positions that put me at the most disadvantage. terrible at play fighting.

>>144420She's a bag of redflags
>>155197IoM TT is not comparable. They are not a bunch of stoners downplaying the risks, talking about "flow states" and believing their own bullshit. They also have nearly an entire island on standby as volunteers and everyone involved is well aware their actions are dangerous and put themselves and others at risk of death.

>>189046>>189000Just because you are clever does not mean you are not susceptible to stupid behaviour. Humans are notoriously good at self-rationalizing. Climbing grades encapsulates that concept very well. Free-solo climbers regularly absolve themselves of stupid behaviour because they falsely believe the only cost of an accident is their life.
Samurai of the dark future edition.A thread to discuss Kendo/jutsu, Iaido/jutsu. >What is Kendo?Kendo is a modern Japanese martial art which combines traditional Japanese swordsmanship (Kenjutsu) techniques with sporting elements for competition. It is practiced with shinai (bamboo swords) and armor. The philosophy of modern Kendo is based off of Budo concepts and aims to develop the self through practice. >What are the rules of Kendo?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cb13DKpDd_k [Open]>Am I too old to practice Kendo?No. Westerns start later and many people practice Kendo until they’re dead.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mm3CmNE72Bw [Open]>Is Kendo a martial art or a sport?Comment too long.

>>198424no one in my dojo comes close to our sensei but I don't think he would be ashamed of us or embarrassed by that. not everyone is a martial arts savant. you are here to realize your own potential, nothing more, and it seems you are far from doing so, so keep working.
>>179387>>179689Is anyone opposed to folding Chinese and Korean sword arts into the next thread? They're historically related to /jsa/ and likely not popular enough to warrant their own threads.
No rules except no weapons allowedWho is the strongest of all time?
>>194298Some promotions allow giants and some of hese giant like Bob Sapp and Hong Man Choi were quite popular but non of them was very successful in mma. The largest mma champ I can think of is Grigoriy Ponomarev who's 264-302 lbs.
>>194048Shuwen is more verifiable than most, purely because we know he was sought after, the People's Liberation Army hired his students for their security detail, and this was after the Boxer Rebellion humiliated the martial artist gangs/cults of China. Does it completely prove he was the greatest badass ever or something? No, but it does tell us the myth has some actual founding facts behind it.

So I've been trying to get the balls to attend a gym that does freestyle and Greco wrestling. It took a lot to go to it as I know it's the toughest sport, and I'm not "young". Twice now I have managed to gather up all my strength and start making my way to the gym, only for freak occurances (train literally going straight past the station, train being delayed for an hour) which left me unable to get there on timeI'm just wondering if any of you had the same sort of issues when you started training. Was the universe basically telling you to stay away but you persisted? Feel like im pushing my luck trying to go a third time lmaoThank you for reading
I take signs from God as they comeLike I have a few cars needing repairs laying around so my drive way is full and I have to park one on the street at night next to a hydrantBeen doing this for almost a year a this point and then 2 days ago a guy randomly comes to the front door and says "I see there's no plates on that jeep in the drive way, I'll give you $400" for itSo I sold it to him and now I can park in the drive way Then last night wouldn't you know it ther was something going on at the neighbors house and the fire department came and needed to use that hydrant which I had been blocking for months
>>195556Wow that's lucky. it's weird the universe didn't stop me from going to judo or BJJ even though I did not enjoy those and only went for three sessions yet wrestling it just seems to not even want to let me go once very weird. Maybe I'll get suplexed and dieded
That means you have to go now
>>195543where do you live that they actually teach wrestling to adults?
>>195671Not doxxing myself but near a major city, there are exactly 2 pure wrestling gyms (too far away for me) and 1 martial arts gym that does 2 wrestling classes a weekThere are MMA gyms located more frequently that do striking/bjj/wrestling but usually only one class a week and very expensive. It's rare here and I still have to travel close to an hour to reach my nearest oneAlso we don't have any school or college wrestling here.
Was training muay thai in class with my friend. Got my kick caught and he pulled. When I was hopping in my grounded foot, I landed funny, felt something in my knee like a pop and collapsed. No swelling at all, feels weird and tingly. Hurts when I attempt to walk on it. Doctor claims only meniscus tear but nurse told me the doctor half asses his job. Going to try to schedule an MRI.Do you guys thing its a ligament, and how bad is it to come back from those?
>>194787>>194854How's the myocarditis going buddy? I'm sure it's because of global warming and not your shot. Remember, for each booster you take, 10 palestinians die for the promise land
>>194862>for each booster you take, 10 palestinians die for the promise landHow many fake identities can I get away with before the nurse notices?
>>1948946,000,000
>>194721>Doctor claims only meniscus tear but nurse told me the doctor half asses his jobdid he at least do a lachman test?
>>195496Yes and my tibia is intact. No shifting. Just an update, I can walk but can't straighten my knee or twist.
I am planning on visiting an MMA gym soon. Being honest, I am scared as fuck. I am a long time sufferer of imposter syndrome and I feel like there's no way a physically awkward nerd like me can do this without embarrassing myself badly but I gotta try. My gf is constantly pestering me about having kids and deep down I feel like "how can I be a father if I can't even protect my family from other dudes?". That's basically my biggest motivation. I was wondering if you guys would be ok with me blogposting my progress here somewhere as I am also socially awkward(literally diagnosed with autism) and it's kinda easier to talk online about stuff like this than it is irl. Any beginners tips? Is there a general I should redirect my posts too? Btw I am a Vegeta chad(undefeated against Goku)
>>193968For shitposting, not much else
>>193973Thats all this board is. This place is unironically worse than /pol/ or /b/
Just go, your body will eventually adapt to what's required.Also try out various schools, there is more than just MMA.
>>193806>american freestyle/boxing/kickboxingLol you're a karate dork. And not even one of the good ones.
>>193505Your mind is in the right place anon. Deep down everyone has some level of imposter syndrome, just keep moving and doing your thing. If you ever feel unmotivated remember that motivation is the fuel of the week, the strong thrive on discipline. Go exercise a bit, work on your cardio and flexibility, specially if you hear any pops or anything weird. Don't be too picky about the gym you are going to, at first, go to the nearest one, get some experience, and if with time you want to experience other stuff or go to a more hardcore gym do it. And yes, do post your progress, I believe it will motivate other anons to do the same. Just remember this is a slow thread so keep using the same one for as long as possible.>Any beginners tips?Fighting for me is about two things: control and creativity. Control as in breathing control, stamina control, distance control, pain control, body control, etc. Most of these things you can learn and practice before even fighting. Muscle memory also, that is half of the game to almost any physical endeavor. Follow your coaches instructions, don't worry about speed, don't worry about energy, focus on your form and repeat, repeat, repeat. Lastly, when you gain confidence and learn the basics and its forms, don't be afraid to try new techniques, just don't get hurt.Good luck anon.
5'7 guy here. Gimme the best martial arts to effectively beat someone twice my size, if they have little to no experience.
>>194449Nice attempt at trying to blackpill me. I VILL beat Chad. I VILL smash stacy's tight pussy.
>>194244This. 3 years ago a BJJ black belt got shot and killed in a club in Brazil by an off-duty cop (go figure) and I remembered all the YouTube MMA influencers releasing videos discussing how firearms should be illegal and banned since they're so unfair. 'The Fight Bible' did a 15 minute long video just bitching and moaning about how overpowered firearms are.

Seems like some prefer to risk missing weight than lose fat.Also why do fat fighters often win against taller and leaner fighters?
>>195123>Why are some fighters so fat?Because they're too lazy and undisciplined to not be fat anymore.>Also why do fat fighters often win against taller and leaner fighters?They usually don't (outside of sumo)
