nyaa
Most martial arts technique is useless in MMA or no rules fighting. Most wrestling grips, judo, bjj techniques go out the windowIt becomes 99% of the time the most simple boxing/kickboxing and the simplest takedowns and submissions
>>253485Rather be in jail then dead you stupid chucklehead dicklicker
>>253485>MMA is uselessCompletely useless is an exaggeration. But certain techniques or strategies being bad for the different conditions of the street is perfectly true. One of the most egregious is the ground-and-pound strategy. If you want to look good in court or use minimal force you can just pin the guy once they’re on the ground, and if you want to look bad or are in an extreme situation that calls for drastic action you can stomp them properly to disable their limbs or potentially kill them. But ground-and-pound has the worse of both worlds with none of the benefits. >The last thing you want to do in a street fight is grapple someone and try to throw muay thai knees or submit them.Not all grappling is ground grappling. Standing submissions exist, and the rear-naked-choke has been adopted by many police forces with success. If your criticizing grappling more generally then you should know the judo and aikido you praise are technically considered grappling arts. I don’t know about Muay Thai’s specific style but knees are useful when dealing with close opponents.
boxing and wrestling are all you need really
>>255995>also you could do enough damage without needing control if you finger someone just rightspeaking from traumatic experience?
>>248213>Most martial arts technique is useless in MMA or no rules fighting. Most wrestling grips, judo, bjj techniques go out the windowYeah, maybe for niggers, yeah.
Is there any ice skaters here? Figure, dance, speed, freestyle, or even hockey can be included.Not many places to talk about it.
>>253936A lot of squats focused on knee over ankle, meaning the knee goes past the ankle. Use the balance boards that gyms usually have. Also exercises that ballet dancers do to strengthen the feet will help. You don't need to develop pointe. Use therabands and ballet barre exercises, easy enough with a chair. Aim to do everything unassisted eventually, skating requires balance in the end. Kseniya and Oleg have an amazing channel on edges and turns. Do what they do on ice and even off ice, putting pressure on the sides of your feet like they show with the red and blue lines. If you know what I mean by pumps on the circle, do those too. If not, power pulls, but only one edge and remain on a circle, putting pressure and release around the circle, not having to worry about switching edges or traveling down the rink. https://www.inspireusafoundation.org/single-leg-squat-variations/https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YVCytrJJOio&pp=ugUHEgVlbi1VUw%3D%3Dhttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=U-nhYGYWO2Qhttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=We0uEeMIsA4https://m.youtube.com/kseniyaOleg
>>254579In today's irony on K and O's channel they have a video right there explaining circle pumps, they call them double knee bends.
>>247946Not him but yes. Basically the same appeal but faster and much more chaotic, at least as far as short track is concerned.
>Team USA being blatantly hilariously overscored>Canadians finally call it out>We were completely removed from all the Olympic drama. We were the lucky ones on the podium. And that, you know, is quite rare at the Olympics. Usually, the entire top three is celebrating, crying, and emotions are running high.>But in a way, Paul and I have really prepared ourselves for this moment over the past two years. The American team has done this to us many times: they might not skate their best, fall or trip, the judges might not notice, and they'll still beat us.>For example, they robbed us of two World Championship medals by ending up on top of the podium. So Paul and I know exactly what that feels like, and it's a terrible feeling.">But I think we learned a lot about ourselves and how to handle these situations. You just have to say, "I can't help it. Yes, I don't like it, but I'm not going to go to the media and make a big fuss." Not going to lie, it genuinely annoys me seeing how much Liu is being shilled everywhere when she's genuinely a mediocre figure skater. Why in fuck has her routine suddenly jumped 20 points from before the world championships to now literally nothing has changed, she hasn't improved in anyway, exact same footwork and jumps etc, yet now just magically get scored 20 points higher. It's not even a good routine, just bog standard exhibition level stuff>No Level 4 elements>Constant underotation on jumps>Constant full prerotation on jumps>Literally kindergarten level footwork I genuinely do not understand how people with a straight face can think Liu is on the same level as Sakamoto, Chiba, Nakai, Trusova etc. The judging of the sport is so fucking bullshit these days. Literally the Judges just give out top scores to whatever Federation gives them the most gimmies. Honestly the only good routine this entire year was Miura and Kihara.
>>256982anything with judges or refs is a corrupt meme sport

Has any MMA match ever been won through biting, whether in a match that allowed it or not?

Want to participate in one of the most ultimate extreme sports? Come Skydive.Either do a tandem for ~S220 (Don't get video you will watch it once or twice and it costs $120+) or go through AFF and jump with your own gear every jump ($~3600 for the first 8 jumps or so) Most jumps are $60-70 after that if renting gear, or ~$30 if you have your own.Any questions? Ask away I'm an insutructor
>>249701around 100-150 jumps. You need to get used to flying in groups, breaking off, tracking etc and being heads up and altitude aware before you increase speed. Try some sit fly with someone who knows what they are doing (Don't do it alone, you can and WILL fly up jumprun without knowing you are moving) and see if you like it, then save up around 3-5k to buy tunnel time weekly and start learning to freefly there to get as good as possible in as short of a time as possible for the cheapest way possiblre.
>>241374>it can't prevent people from being dumbasses doing highly risky maneuversNot to be a downer but it seems to me that all skydiving fatalities are the result of jumping off of something
>>241374I mean, I've been there when people in their 50s and 60s have died from hard opening severing their aorta. I've also seen people get hit and killed in freefall.
Is Summerfest as fun as they hype it to be?

>>255924Alex Roberts. It doesn’t look like he was ever big but he’s got to be the best kickboxer in my area by a long shot. The southeast US doesn’t really have a kickboxing culture so it’s a breath of fresh air to find a gym that has someone legitimate on the coaching staff.

/archery/ Thread #3 /archg/Let's keep this bad boy going!What's your style?What you shooting?What you hitting?Recs for bows?I bought a yumi, oh god, I'm a fucking moron, please help.What you wearing?
>>212688So are trad archers just the vegans of archery? A good majority of them I met at the range are very snobby towards specifically target archers, like they view anything more than a wooden arrow to be some kind of heresy against archery.
>>252511Traditional archers are more the patricians and aristocrats of the archery world. They don't follow superficial trends and artificial technologies that disconnects oneself from nature and their self. Their true target is their self. Archery is for them a spiritual journey towards self mastery and harmony with nature.
>>251131>Sanlida Archery Royal X8 Recurveit doesn't look traditional though?!?!If you like it then go ahead, it's alright. Pretty middle of the pack in the price range, they tend to fuck up a bit on the draw weight though that's a common issue with them(and literally everyone else desu)>>252255We just made our own horse out of iron beams, a barrel and a blanket.
>>253694>it doesn't look traditional though?!?!It's a traditional recurve made from wood (and some fiberglass, though). Looks quite traditional to me.I don't like how the takedowns look, even the one made of wood. And especially hate the look of those metal bright color ones.
>>212688>What's your style?compound bow!>What you shooting?elite basin RTS with a scott quick shot, set to 40 pounds>What you hitting?I'm really new so my target is at 30 meters. I need to dial my sight in because right now I'm aiming for the bottom of my target to hit the centre>Recs for bows?idk>I bought a yumi, oh god, I'm a fucking moron, please help.I also considered a Yumi and they seem like they're actually junk>What you wearing?I normally wear a dress or a long sleeve with a skirt. I think my white dress looks cool when I put my quiver on around my waist. speaking of which apparently people want they quivers facing forward, but mine faces backwards so whatever.I'm really enjoying archery so far. and every time I go to the range it's totally empty so I get the whole place to myself. still building up my strength however.Comment too long.

Parkour thread. Where are you at with your training? How have you been working around the limits of weather and lockdowns? How much do you apply the utilitarian Hébertist mindset of being strong to be useful to your training routines?Freerunners can post, too. Maybe even gymnasts and trickers if you don't get your own thread up and running.original thread >>1236
>>244060kekwhat game is this? it looks so stupid
>>76604How do parkour niggas train to make longer jumps and land without blowing up their knees? Or how do they jump from massive heights like nothing?Is it because they started young and are still young but their bodies will explode later on?Obviously they do parkour and that conditions their body but do they have strength training specific to parkour, any general strength training works or what do they do alongside parkour for those jumps.
>>253165the safe answer is by training plyometrics, lifting, crosstraining calisthenics and the like. the real answer is we just send it. don't forget that half of the athletes in our sport are too young to vote, and the other half suffer the consequences of our previous training habits. there shouldn't be anyone under the age of 25 who's had an acl surgery but i personally know at least two, due entirely to an injury sustained from either parkour or tricking and if i were a little bit more retarded, i'd also need one.
>>252849What are some lightweight FOSS programs I can run on a laptop from 2012 to censor my face in parkour videos?
>>256228Try DaVinci Resolve. Why you shy? Post video.
I've been practicing archery for a while (never done a tournament) as a hobby. Is it feasible to go to the Olympics in 2028? How can I do it?

will the krav maga mindset help me to succeed in life?

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.

What’s up /xs/bros. I’m Mortis, the new /xs/ divegrass manager. Our extreme virtual divegrass team will be competing in the upcoming 4cc Autumn Babby Cup. Use this thread to comment your suggestions for players, aesthetics, tactics, any thoughts on the overall team, or be the first /xs/ anon to call the new manager a fag.Our board is home to a wide variety of extreme sports, so I would love to see a little more representation of sports that haven’t gotten a chance to shine. I’m also looking into getting our team our very first stadium, something that can hopefully be finalized in the future.This will be my first cup as manager so please support our team this next cup. Let’s show all the other boards that it’s not about the size of our board that matters, it’s about how long it takes to learn a new skate trick without giving up, how many times we get thrown on the mat by our opponent and we still get up, how we go for that steep hill on our bike without bailing. Whatever extreme sport you practice, it’s about the extreme passion you have.And remember, you don’t have to be a musician to be an Earth Rocker.
>>246663Of all my years watching fake divegrass matches, I've never witnessed such retarded livemanaging at play. I hope you keep managing for the foreseeable future, but Hakuho has to go, dude isn't even the JSA janny anymore, he's less relevant to /sumo/ right now than moriururara
>>246663Keep it up and next time it will be better.
So we lost today's game 0-4. That's the final game of this cup for us. I'm not here to make excuses. I apologize for the performance we had this cup. I promise there will be huge changes coming when the Spring cup comes around. Changes such as roster changes, tactical changes, a new stadium that I will do my best to get, etc. Thank you to everyone that supported this team during this cup. We will be back, Earth Rockers never die.>>246828This will be the first change. The only reason he played in this cup is because this was my first cup managing and I wanted to see if he still had it, but no, this nigga is GONE.>>246887Thanks buddy

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.
what lessons did you learn?
>>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.
