skatin
running big days in the mountains, smiling and feeling the alpine air in my hair. seeing that bright summer sun lighting up the wildflowers. grabbing onto solid rock and scrambling your way across a ridge and up a summit, and being scared but still in control. skiiing down the fine scree on the other side, and watching hundreds of meters pass by in minutes. seeing that far valley floor, with the hemlocks and the cedars and the lake at the basin grow closer and closer, and knowing there's snacks at the car at the trailhead and theres friends you haven't made yet at the hostel or parking lot... thinking about the fire you'll have that night, and the tea youll have in your hands, and wondering who will be there beside you.

Ladies look amazing when they grapple
>>269510Ya sucks to lose a collection, especially for hidden gems. I do agree that theres an arching aspect to it as well. Many orgs went out of business before internet video streaming platforms and social media became a big thing. You may find clips here and there on sites, but those are often low quality uploads published years ago, or reuploads of the originals (further ruining video/sound quality). My collecting is more recent, but I also am making a habit to try and upload to cloud so I have a backup copy. The originals go on to ssd. In the past you'd use harddrives but those are unreliable.
>>261880Is it cringe/creepy to get turned on when grappling with women? I started BJJ recently and the beginner class had this smoking hot 19-20y/o college girl who was a tiny 5'0" asian with thick thighs and tight boobs. Soaked in sweat, barefeet, blood running hot. It was like Heaven rolling around with her pressing her steamy body against mine and feeling her legs wrap around me. I rubbed one out to the memories 3 times that week.
>>270172god I wish that was me
>>270172Damn. Nogi here in brazil only has guys.
>>261880Mixed wrestling and mixed fighting are my favourite categories. God bless Evolved Fights.
I'm a lightweight, (1.78m, 60kg), i've been going to judo for some months now, I'm liking it a lot, but, is it comparable/better to wrestling? Especially for a guy my size, I always thought wrestling would be useless as from what I know, it uses a lot of raw strength, while judo (though it still uses strength) is better suited for taking down heavier/stronger people. Is this right? Should I try doing some wrestling? I find judo very good but also sometimes limited by the sport
>>241734I'm not good at judo by any means, training 2 years, and I can pretty convincingly ragdoll more athletic white belts. I admit part of it is they are scared, I might get smashed by someone who has 50 lbs on me and is going apeshit
Suplexing ragatha
>>235167>In wrestling you would call it a headlock takedownActually head and arm throw
>>242564I actually do wrestling. yes they are rule, but it's in my opinion more fun than BJJ and more intuitive and free than judo at the start.
>>242818as someone who do both wrestling and sambo, don't try a Khurka/gi throw with normal clothes
Just a few years ago everyone wanted to learn kung fu and now kung fu is considered a joke. Everyone wants to learn BJJ and mma in the present year. What happened?
>>270816Broken ribs and toesBonus - you still don't know how to fight
>>270808All the old kung fu guys I've seen are just as bald, fat and immobile as any other old guy who doesn't work out. If you want to be healthy your whole life just take up swimming. Skip all this fighting nonsense because there is hardly a more guaranteed way to pile up injuries. Maybe motorsports are worse, at least in terms of sheer calamitous outcomes.
>>270808>Train bjj /judo/wrestling - destroy your own neck, spine, knees, walk around in pain foreverI'd argue that's less of a problem in traditionalist judo schools, especially for guys who know when to retire from serious competition.
>>270768>without doxxing myselfbuy or make a Guan Yu mask with the beard
>>269894reality happened
I just want the assurance that I can defend myself should it come to that INB4 get a gun, I live in Canada so I can't. I'm thinking about joining an MMA gym to do all of it but I don't think I would be able to put in the requisite time for both grappling and striking training while still lifting and doing cardio. If it is possible please tell me because I plan on going to the fighting classes 3-4 times a week, also please give me info on how much to spar including hard sparring, I want to get decent as fast as possible
>>264617Broooo is he still out there doing his thing? I was actually subscribed to his yt for a time until it slowly dawned on me that he is unhinged.
>>259979Good post.I might qualify "kickboxing" with "preferably muay thai".And if you've got some more time, I'd recommend a _little_ bit of wrestling, enough to cover the fundamentals even if you won't become good enough to match an actual/practicing wrestler.A real wrestler is exceedingly unlikely to be attacking anyone without good reason. No need to devote time for that possibility.But if you're on the ground with a wrong 'un, you'll be a whole lot better off if you have some muscle memory in grappling.
>>251752Learn to manage your temper and ego, deescalation and situational awareness. Be large, physically fit and intimidating to the common thug. Be able and willing to run away the moment the situation presents itself.Get a pepper spray, maglite, collapsible baton(don't fucking blindly baseball swing it, wrist flick the tip at their hands and face like you're throwing a jab from a distance), then do some stand-up grappling and striking if you still have the juice.
>>263967turtle is the easiest ground position to stand up from, bottom guard is the hardest one. this is ten times true if striking is involved. your argument is invalid.

why don't more people skate with bigger wheels? I'm talking 60mm and above.it feels so much better to skate when you're not trying to balance precariously on little tiny baby wheels, where even a speck of dust will send you flying.
>>260658that black border around the board looks nice, care to share a full board pic?
>>247111People say this when they ride full-weighted Indy trucks and their board somehow outweighs my setup with Tensors and Mini-Cubics on it57-64+mm, no risers, lightweight trucks, wax under the wells, way more fun to ride.Smaller wheels have gotta be wider to even it out I think, and a wide 54's low enough to fit low trucks for tricks and that.>>250571NO U
>>250852I've got a pair of pre-owned wheels around 45mm now that are tolerable 'cause they're wide enough to keep SOME speed, and I got a 92 shaped board hung up in my garage. Could be a sick mix.
>>247106Kill yourself you pathetic faggot, I will post where i want.
54mm and I skate them until it feels really slow, and that’s usually around 48mm.for a park setup, I like 58.obsessing about weight is for girls, no hollow anything , I learned to kickflip on a pig shape with 169s and ratbones and some weight actually helps me boost cause im tall and slim

Is there anyone here that is an Alpine climber/ Alpinist? If yes tell us about your craziest experience from out there!
First episode is out.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCsR-zxwN1Y>What is the Ultimate Self-Defense Championship?A bit over a year ago, former Aikidoka YouTuber Rokas Leo set up a tournament with a self-defense "academy" to have himself and five other martial arts YouTubers compete to see who is best at self-defense. It was a hilarious shitshow that nearly crippled one of the contestants, Ramsey Dewey who would later get into an internet spat with the guy behind the academy (Jeff Phillips) and described the entire event as "piss poor" due to poor management, an incoherent and arbitrary scoring system, running on a very limited schedule, and timing events terribly (like having a zombie apocalypse-themed event that didn't influence score in the middle of the entire thing instead of at the end or something) and doing comically dangerous shit like making people fight on a narrow bridge a good 30ft above the ground.Somehow, he kickstarted a second one, which features even less martial arts YouTubers.
>>269316>Yikes, you chose to stay retardedbut i don't practice or shill aikido.>You're wrongyou don't train or fight.>Anon, knowing more submissionsand even "good" aikido sucks at teaching submissions in ways applicable to grapplers. with 90%+ of aikido it's literally a detriment.>but all the wrist locks grapplers use today were invented by aikidoanother blatant lie. there is exactly zero impact aikido made on combat sports. prove me wrong, you won't. not a single move or thing.>who often cross-trainedthe only thing you seem to have cross training in is stealing credit and mental gymnastics.>And so the fool starts projecting.prove me wrong, woman. show me you have anything to do with martial arts(not aikido) at all that you deserve to talk about them or give judgment. because you don't, that's why you try to defend this pretentious bullshido.>I merely acknowledged their heritage in improving grappling as a whole by supplementing judo and jiu-jutsuand you did this by lying through your teeth and making shit up. good job.
>>269428>prove me wrong, woman. show me you have anything to do with martial arts(not aikido)Not him, but how would you even suggest he do this? You want him to dox himself with a video of throwing a punch or something? Are you saying you wouldn't immediately deflect by complaining that the punch doesn't look practiced enough or something?To me it reads like you just got extremely asspained that someone said something positive about aikido and immediately started sperging like an internet tough guy from 2009.
>>210553Finger-in-butthole as women's defense against rape: if you rape the rapist does it cancel out?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_LGIShVRrI
>>269970>Not him, but how would you even suggest he do this?posting a belt or gi or other piece of training uniform, preferably with a timestamp. posting a faceless body pic that shows he works out. etc. >someone said something positive about aikidyeah, people get mad when you try to shill blatant mall ninja slop as something worthwhile. you'd get laughed off the board if you tried this with something equally retarded like krav maga or systema but fags think they get a pass because it's from japan.>started sperging like an internet tough guy from 2009.if you want to shill aikido you need to get a license by being reality checked with a real takedown, kick or a punch from a committed opponent first. that's the absolute least you could do before you deserve to open your mouth.

Roller skate thread.Mostly Inline & Quads, Hockey & Derby welcome, Soaps & Heelies too if they're chill. Ice skates? Who knows.Discuss rollerskating tricks, gear, hobbies, complaining about the cost of new wheels and anything else relating to rolling around and it's culture. Cool roller skating /mu/sic is welcome, but talk about other shit too, don't just post music links with nothin else. Definitely not!vandalism belongs on >>>/po/stencilFAQ first editionhttps://rentry.org/cantbailLast thread (next thread before 2026?)https://archived.moe/xs/thread/127374
Went inline skating for th first time in 26 years or so. Caught way more speed then I was anticipating on a few downhills, ate some crazy shit. Hit my head. Glasses and hat went flying. Cars stopped to see if I was ok. Gave them the thumbs up. Slowly creeped my way home covered in scraps fucked up wrist scared of any kind of speed. Was pretty awesome. Definitely need full pads and helmet next time. Stay sick my brothers.
>>268144Yes because by the time you learn to grind you won't need to learn a whole new wheel size or boot type. Try one of the older brands like roces or usd to see if they have a special size like that
>>269986yeah i've been looking since i posted and saw that roces m12's come in bigger sizes and are usually a bit less than 200 dollars
>>269987M12s are prob the best skates you can start off on. Good choice
probably not the best place but this just came out in early accesshttps://store.steampowered.com/app/4464990/Rollout_Inline/apparently it's only made by one guy
Do you guys make notes and diagrams for your martial arts and have reference books?I have been thinking about getting the Kodokan book since I won't be doing judo for the foreseeable future and also making notes for my karate and judo.
>>264809Unbalancing someone isn't a step in the process, it's the end goalThis is why people have so much trouble knocking each other over when its the most piss easy thing to do, they're not focusing their intention People practice this shit like it's a waltz they actually count it out 123 123 step turn lift step turn lift That's not real, it's barely a step above chi blasts. I can't even talk to judo people about this because I'm dealing with retardsThis guy who is a physican mind you said not to lift weights "that's time you could've spent training"
>>264814>I can't even talk to judo people about this because I'm dealing with retardsI've been genuinely wondering if you are low- to mid-functioning autistic because of the way you hamstring yourself with asinine absolutes and don't seem to grasp abstract concepts.
>>264815Abstraction is exactly what Im trying to avoidI'm rejecting judo as a philosophy and a system"maximum efficiency, minimum effort"I say "maximum effectiveness, efficiency is irrelevant" if it was effective then it was exactly as efficient as it needed to beI reject 8 directionsA circle isn't 8 directions, why only 8, why not 16, why not 137? Because 8 is important in Buddhism and the old midget in a dress said soAnd then there's the clasifications, Nami, kata, and gyaku jime are the same exact move for example The direction your thumb is pointing is wholly irrelevant to mechanically choking someone You could even complete that choke without gripping at all because the wrist bone is what's applying the pressure There is too much internal focus on what your body is doing and not enough on the external of how is it affecting the other person How often have you seen people fumbling around because they can't finish these basic ass collar chokes and it's because they're so transfixed about having the precise correct grip, making sure that their 4 fingers are hooking just right, and their thumbs aren't facing the wrong direction, Meanwhile they have no pressure on the arteries
>>264819>I say "maximum effectiveness, efficiency is irrelevant" if it was effective then it was exactly as efficient as it needed to beNobody who trains seriously in any fighting discipline thinks this. You can easily gas yourself out prematurely with effective techniques executed inefficiently or with excess force. >A circle isn't 8 directions, why only 8, why not 16, why not 137?The same reason a typical compass rose is in eight directions: straight, sideways, and diagonal are good enough for a coarse description of the direction in which a human body is moving across the ground. Sometimes a specific direction between the eight is discussed for some niche application just like sometimes north-east-east is useful when giving a more precise heading but usually the eight are specific enough. >And then there's the clasifications, Nami, kata, and gyaku jime are the same exact move for exampleThese are similar choke variations but are not the "same exact move," which should be obvious to the guy who needs all 360 degrees of kuzushi defined for him. >There is too much internal focus on what your body is doing and not enough on the external of how is it affecting the other personEvery submission grappling school I've visited, judo included, explains how chokes work to the students so that they understand what they're trying to accomplish with the techniques they're learning.>How often have you seen people fumbling around because they can't finish these basic ass collar chokes and it's because they're so transfixed about having the precise correct grip, making sure that their 4 fingers are hooking just right, and their thumbs aren't facing the wrong direction, Meanwhile they have no pressure on the arteriesBasically never, but perhaps that's because I've never coached the special needs class. You teach people the objective and then show them some tools with which they can achieve that objective and they usually figure it out pretty quickly.
>>261823I asked >>>/ic//fig/>If I wanted to learn coarse-but-accurate figure drawing for the purpose of taking judo and other martial arts notes what vocabulary would I use to describe what I'm after and what would be the fastest way to grind that skill?and was told>That's quick sketching, you should be thinking of coarse shape and gesture primarily as you won't have more than 15-20 seconds to get a pose on paper.>https://www.amazon.com/Quick-Sketching-Ron-Husband-Expanded/dp/1138336742>https://www.amazon.com/Drawn-Life-Classes-Stanchfield-Lectures/dp/1032494816>those would be your bibles, both available on annas-archive.
B.J. Penn and his schizoid delusions are based and I'm tired of pretending they're not.
Hello my /xs/bros, I hope everyone has been having a rad summer. I'm here to bring a few updates on how our virtual divegrass team is coming along.The first order of business, here is a new crest I made for the team. Inspired by the New York Red Bulls FC crest, this keeps our iconic logo, and expands upon it, adding many of our extreme sports onto the crest. Let me know what you all think.Now onto our upcoming games. The 4cc Autumn Babby Cup Friendlies are coming up next month, and we have 2 games scheduled.September 13th vs /jp/ - Third match of the day.Also on that same day vs /pw/ - Final match of the day.Both of these games will be live managed, so look forward to live management autism.Following the friendlies, the Tag Team Cup 7 will be taking place at the end of September & beginning of October. We will be participating and tagging with our friends over at /tv/, to form /xstv/. This team will bring you the most extreme and insane shit you've seen on television.And finally, towards the end of October, the Autumn Babby Cup will officially be underway. We still have many projects in the works for our epic return, so we will keep this thread updated on announcements regarding the Tag Team Cup 7 and Autumn Babby Cup.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>268356I don't really have suggestions, but good luck to the team.
Just a reminder, our 2 friendly games will be this Sunday. We will have special anthems and new kits for both games.For our match against /jp/ we will be debuting a Monster Energy Drink Motocross inspired kit.As for our match against /pw/, I won't completely spoil what that new kit will look like, but I will say this, it is our throwback kit to /asp/.In other news, the Tag Team Cup 7 has been delayed until January. It's a shame because we had a very fun roster lined up for /xstv/, but at least we'll have this time to work on better models for that team.>>270155Thanks buddy, I'm very confident that we'll have a great Autumn this year.
Good luck from /his/!
>>268356/xs/ will always be fun to watch. Don't care about results. Fun is fun. So keep it up and continue delivering fun. Love the new logo.
Well we had 2 very fun games today, a 3-4 win against /jp/, and a 2-1 loss against /pw/, with Dan being the hero of the day, and Zorb being the shitter for not being in place for a /pw/ goal. Thank you to everyone that watched. We have a lot of work to do to prepare for the actual cup next month, so I expect an even better /xs/ than what we saw today.>>270402Thanks lad, I hope we play /his/ soon because I have a really good hyp in mind that involves MMA.>>270440I really appreciate that, as a manager it's my job to get the wins, but fun is extremely important to me.
