Long story short, I got jumped by 6 guys and they kicked the shit out of me (fractured my face). Realized that even though I trained years ago I forgot how to fight and I'm looking to get back into it. I got a few options near me they are.

>Muay thai gym ran by a former pro fighter I looked up his fights on youtube
>Krav maga school ran by some krav maga guy can't find any videos of him having pro fights but in a lot of their videos they do sparring and scenario training

I'm conflicted between the two on one end, I got jumped by 6 years so not sure if the krav school is what I want or on the other side I want to actually learn to fight and train with fighters not just jerk my dick and pretend I can fight. What would you pick /xs/?

It does not matter, pick the one you like the most and want to stick with.
Technically, krav maga is more interesting and has no restrictions (just like there is no referee in the steets).
BUT, if you are getting jumped/surprised, even by one single guy alone, the best thing to do is: RUN.
You will never know what the person(s) is capable of and willing to risk to fuck you up until it is too late and he actually does it.
It takes several seconds to even realize what happens and that the wet spot on your back is blood rushing out a stab wound.
A broken jaw, wrist, nose, w/e is ALWAYS a lose in my book, no matter how the opponent looks. Shit has to heal.

Definitely the Muay Thai guy. Also practice not getting jumped

Shotgun, sawed-off, load with buckshot.
Alternatively, machine pistol.

Hell, I could take on a hundred knife-wielding men with a Ma-Deuce from 100 yards away.
Germans managed to kill thousands of *heavily armed* men with MG42s in a day.
Even a Maxim gun defeated hordes of spear-wielding Africans (they got some range!) with minimal casualties.
Yup.

If you are concerned about home defense, a claymore will work fine for larger groups.
Mounted repeating gun is good too.

>>210953
I think that's too much of a hassle to implement. Especially when height doesn't seem to impact fights alot unless it's a massive height difference.

If height was that big of an advantage most ufc fighters would be tall and skinny, since it'd be more advantageous to be a 6'3 155er than a 5'10 155er. But that's not the case, because taller fighters are worse wrestlers.

co doesn’t really get that overcrowded unless you pick the worst possible days of the year and even then pretty much only at the base and if you’re willing to hike you can dodge that entirely and get to the second tier of lifts in time for first tracks. the only time i ever see lines is when i ride with my dad.

>>
>>211152
Anything that you learn in a competition-centric gym that's worth its salt is going to work in competition (i.e. with a skilled opponent resisting). There's a category of moves that work despite resistance (as opposed to moves in which you need a follow up), but the resistance causes pain. For example, there's a headlock escape whereby you roll them from on their hips to their stomach, but if they have their leg crunched up, it puts pressure on their hips because you're rolling them over that leg.

Judo has a lot of moves like that. There are moves that, if your hips are far back and you want to stay on your heels, they'll need to pull you and tighten their own rotation so that you slide over them and then they land their ribs on top of yours. It's not a pleasant way to train for anyone involved and it's frustrating for a newbie who doesn't have the wherewithal or technique to take a move to its logical conclusion and harm you in the process. In fact, philosophically, the process of judo, the gentle way, has a pillar regarding mutual benefit and welfare. This means that they shouldn't be throwing you like that, but you shouldn't be putting them in a position to have to throw you that way to practice the technique. The time and place for that kind of force is during competition. Until then you're trying to push each other to perfect the form so when it comes time to take the limiters off you know what you're doing when you put strength behind it. It's a faster, more efficient, more effective, way of training that promotes longevity.

I've always found Americans to be pretty sensitive about bantz overall, and it's coded as a more lower class thing; Americans and Canadians are pretty uptight about "busting each other's balls" compared to the rest of the Anglo world. Bantz seem like much more of a British or Australian thing.

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.

Literally just have fun, man. Skateboarding has so many possibilities that it's impossible to stop learning new stuff. I skated as a kid, then quit for almost 10 years, then picked it up again and got frustrated like you seem to be, left it aside for a while, and went back to it 4 years ago. I'm 31 now and have never had so much fun doing anything like I do when skating. Lower your expectations, try new things, just be out there spending time on your board. Watch amateur videos to get inspired, there's so much shit you never thought of. Who cares if you're landing stuff, just use your imagination with new settings, new obstacles, new stances. I can't do axle stalls for the life of me and gave up on 360 flips and backside grinds altogether but I can do nollie hospital flips and I'm introducing body varials on transition, working on fakie nosegrinds, old-school primo casper shit, popping off manuals, trying to understand the difference between throwing a hardflip vs a FS flip... Failing is part of the fun, you don't have to get anything down to call it a good session. Taking it easy as it comes and mixing it up is the best advice I can give. Maybe give it up for a while, accept that you can't do as much as you wished you would, even start over in switch. Skateboarding is too much fun and at the same time it's too silly of a hobby to get so frustrated and depressed
>>
>>209121
Like every one else is saying, do lower impact stuff and just focus on being creative. Don't be so emo about it skating is supposed to be fun. Try new things. It's not like you're gonna go pro or anything so why not just have fun. Skate with friends, maybe drink a beer or two, and if you're not landing something don't just try it over and over again for 30+ minutes. Just move on to something else that's coming more naturally to you that day. Don't treat it like a job, like you HAVE to land something, just move on
