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.

How much parkour is there in urban exploration / climbing? Also, is there any good parkour place in Madrid, spain?
>>
>>237781
There's lots of PK in urbex, if you consider all the balance, climbing, and mental fortitude necessary to confidently venture certain areas. You can probably figure out how to climb a fence but it helps to know how to do it properly. Having a strong core always comes in handy when you need to traverse obstacles.

Idk anything about Spain but sounds fun

>Scorpion Rib Crush

This is a variant of do-jime (banned judo technique but legal in BJJ and MMA) where you have an opponent in closed guard and squeeze your knees on their floating ribs.

Here's a video of a WMMA fighter using it to win in Bellator:

Very hit-or-miss but can either
>do nothing (if they have a strong core)
>break ribs
>fuck up organs (supposedly)

You can hear the opponent yell out and tap immediately

If you're looking for weird but practical anti-ground techniques, check out Tai Shing Pek Kwar or Monkey Kungfu. Lots of chest stomping.

Disc golf is always the answer. just dont get too attached to your plastic, you WILL lose discs.
>>
>>242112
also do yourself a favor and buy used from a play it again or something. Beat-in plastic is almost always better and cheaper.
also also more speed doesnt mean more distance. I throw about 315 and mostly throw 7 speeds or understable 9 speeds.

I lost a thunderbird in the water crossing at my local place the first time I went so I dove for it and came back with 16 more discs. I kept the ones without numbers and only one (1) still smells like swamp ass.

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

>I'm going to do MMA grappling
Neat, those are fun classes. Make sure it's actually MMA grappling and not just a BJJ class if that's what you're after. BJJ is fun and worthwhile but has notoriously poor takedowns on average, which seems contrary to your priorities.
>they only take what actually works in a real fight
*in a real MMA match
There's a lot of overlap but it's not 1:1.
>Gi grips
>95% of throws
>Gi shit in general
>Doesn't work when someone's trying to fuck you up. If I'm going to risk injury to learn a martial art long term I want to learn something useful
MCMAP uses a fair number of gi techniques because they're usually wearing clothes while fighting people who are usually also wearing clothes. Gi grips have closely analogous no-gi grips and you can make many of the same throws work. The Marine Corps and Army have been training judo throws since at least the WWI era which saw heavy pressure testing of hand-to-hand systems.
>I read enough threads that confirm my experience stiff arming, strength and keeping hips back negates all judo at an intermediate level.
Stiff arming and defensive posture shouldn't be a showstopping issue past novice level unless there's something wrong with you or your coach. Strength applies to every discipline--skill helps but can only offset so much of a strength difference.
>Whereas a punch into leg attack or body lock is much more effective
Punching into a leg attack is MMA, not wrestling. It is actually traditionally part of judo but normie sport-focused schools don't touch it. Normie judo has your body lock.

I heard a story from a cop about a suspect that almost got away. They were chasing him and his sagged pants fell down enough to trip him and cause him to faceplant on the sidewalk. The two cops doubled over laughing so hard that the guy had time to collect himself, stand back up, fix his pants, and start running again. Highlights the value of this discussion >>225994

I'm 22, in okay(ish) shape and I'm pretty much gassed out by the 3 hour mark.
Are you in good shape? Hitting the gym/pool (or, even better, surfing) consistently + good diet will probably improve your stamina quite a bit.

everyone hating on a scooter would probably crack there shit trying to do a real trick like a blunt on a rail. Fuck these faggots do what you wanna do. Scootering is based and fun as hell. A lot of scooter street parts have more swag and less gay song choices too because they realize they actually have to have extra swag to make scootering look cool so there is more effort put into not looking like a queer corporate sell out poser.
>>
>>238022
i had the opportunity once to ride one for free in public. was fun, they go pretty fast but I'd never personally own one. If you like it, go for it. But yea, expect people to talk shit or give you looks. Rarely, but expect it nonetheless.

>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.
