Welp, i dont have enough hours in class to test this next week because of running around doing dumb shit this summer sadly. My next test will be in January. That being said im making great progress on my kicks, specifically okinawan roundhouse and my japanese back kick. I learned today for the roundhouse you get more power and better balance if you lean into the kick like you're doing crunches. Thanks to the anons who recommended the tennisball training, it has helped immensly with my foot grip. I try to practice standing on them (while braced lightly against something) while i do the forearm shit of rolling the weight tied to a stick. Pretty excited because my dojo is going to a mixed shorin ryu and goju ryu seminar soon and theyre going to teach my yellow belt ass tonfa basics. My seisan is mint and im debating self learning the next kata on my own based on our dojo videos...though i should probably just be patient. Karate isnt everything, but goddamn does it excite me. What is everyones favorite kata or move or combo and why?
>>243238Video game wise I would say Tekken too.Movies I would say anything with JCVD, Michael Jai White, Scott Adkins
Shotokan guy here. I am out of training for a while till maybe December and have just been hitting the heavy bag at home and doing kata.I do the 5 Heians and Tekki Shodan as its what I know as a blue belt.Then I do just do combinations of oi zuki, gyaku zuki, kezami zuki for my punches and mae geri, mawashi geri, yogo geri, ushiro geri and hiza geri for my kicks and then blocking.I pair my karate with my judo.Any tips or drills that you work through?My dojo is JKA based so its 3 K karate.

These fantasy picks honestly just feel like cheating.
>>246500no urano tobizaruno hoshoryuno tamawashino takayasuno yoshinofuji (forma de no passport)no shishino rogaNO SOULI didnt know people played fantasy sumo, im very new to thisWhere is that?
>>246503https://www.stablemasters.ca/It's not about picking your favourite rikishi, it's about picking guys you think will get good scores at their current rank. But this time around you can scoop up a Yokozuna and four (quatro) Sekiwake level rikishi. And Gonoyama should in theory be hugely underranked right now. He wasn't even injured last basho, he just didn't win.

Why isn't muay thai a big thing outside of ladyboyland if there are so many people who hate grappling and for some reason watch mma?
>>217230Lack of international competitors. Even if some other country gets a p4p great like Nadaka it's still just him vs a constant stream of petchsueklektungsahurs for eternity. No usual sports nation/race war drama to get behind. The sport itself is pretty mainstream knowledge but there's not much incentive to get behind and follow it.
>>246305That said even some of my normie friends wanted to watch Superlek vs Rodtang, so just spamming social media propaganda about being the best in the world with like 5 highlights works.
>>217230Years ago I remember watching a local promo on TV in the US, it promoted as muay thai kickboxing. Their problem was being tournament based for each event so they didn't allow elbows to avoid fight ending cuts. If other promos are like it, I'm sure that's why they're not popular.
>>245762Wrestling + doing degenerate shit is what ultimately ends up winning there, even if the base of most people there is striking.
>>246329Not at allMost fights end with ground and pound after a punch to the jaw

>>245371>signing an oath with your own blood, and learning techniques and not being taught the meaning until years later is fine.Kind of a bunch of stereotypes there that don't apply to every art. But yes, some koryu want to make sure you will fit in and they don't have to teach you remedial skills from scratch so they require a trial period or interview. They care about tradition so if there is a traditional oath, they might make you take it, and they usually expect students to make a commitment to the art, so they might only share certain information with people who put in the time. I certainly can't speak to every koryu art or dojo, but if you think they have the skills and can teach them, then I don't understand the problem. And if they don't have those skills I don't see why you would want to train with them no matter how open and non-elitist they are.
>>245376The fact that they can beat guys much bigger and stronger than them is kind crazy tho, the fact that none of the guys could beat any of the girls Is even crazier
>>244719I can't decide if the guy is really bad or the girl Is really giod
>>245371>doing an interview in business clothesWhat kind of gay shit is that?
>>245710Which makes it clear that the guys were weak and/or didnt try. Technique cant compensate that much. Japs are just weak bitches.
Does /xs/ prefer step or strap on bindings? Do step ons work in deep powder?
>>242623I've been hiking at the same resorts I board at. Lucky for me they offer a decent variety of trails.

How trustworthy is the gear from Sierra Trading Co/TJ Maxx. They're selling snowboard boots for $150 to $200 and I'm wondering if they're worth copping. Also I'm praying for a not shit year weather-wise on the ice coast.
>>245768just looking at their website it looks like mostly cheap rental gear. >150 to 200you can absolutely find better boots in that price range if you just shop around a little.depending on how much/how aggressively you ride you can get vans in that price range but i also see ride & k2 boots pop up all the timejust 2 minutes of searching and i already see better stuff. just be careful to make sure you dont accidentally buy some step on boots.https://www.searchtempest.com/search?search_string=vans%20snowboard%20boot&category=8&subcat=sss&cityselect=zip&location=81623&maxDist=50000#gsc.tab=0https://www.searchtempest.com/search?search_string=k2%20snowboard%20boot&category=8&subcat=sss&cityselect=zip&location=81623&maxDist=50000#gsc.tab=0https://www.ebay.com/itm/365168861141?_skw=ride+anchor+boot&hash=item5505c29fd5%3Ag%3AS2cAAOSwk5ZnBtJi&customid&toolid=10049

So I'm wanna train to learn how too defend myself and get fitter I wrestled a year in High-school and really enjoyed it but had to stop to work on grades and I was better at other sports but I wanna go back and do some other forms of grappling so where do I start how do I start

hi /xs/ this is my cat rupert, hes a very adventurous cat and i was thinking about going skydiving with him. ive been skydiving before and i liked it, does anyone have any experience skydiving with a cat, or any pet?
>>246088maybe that is too adventurous and extreme for a catplease tell Rupert I said hello
>>246153hmm you could be right is is very extreme... thank u for the insight i will see what otihers say
>>246088Handlers jump working dogs, but they're highly trained and motivated as fuck as it is, while cats...not so much.Muzzle it, put some footies on it so it can't claw the shit out of you, and put some little goggles on it for eye protection. Make a little harness for it and attach it to the attachment points for your leg straps. Do it with a fake cat first to make sure you can fly it so when you have the real thing you're not having problems maintaining stability during the freefall phase.
>>246088He’ll claw the fuck outta you if you do
>>246182>>246184maybe he wouldn't enjoy as much as i originally thought you make some good points, i wouldn't want to make him upset i will try something less extreme first
Promoted to orange belt!(in case anyone is wondering yes that’s a capybara shirt I’m wearing underneath )It’s been an awesome 1.3 years of judo! I’ve been improving my technique and did amazing at two recent tournaments. The progress shall continue to be strong

Hey /xs/, absolute tourist here, do you guys ever discuss skiing or have a skiing general? I see another thread on cross country, but I'm thinking more alpine or freestyle. Bit early in October, but I'm looking forward to this season, hoping I'm well enough to go.

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.
We are a few day away from the autumn baby cup, In a group with /toy/, /y/ and /vr/First match vs /toy/ this saturday 25 should be around 1h30-2pm easter depending on the rigging. Then, we face the ga/y/s on halloween at the end of the day.Finally, on sunday, we meet /vr/. See you soon.
Match day has started.We're the 2nd game.Let's get it.
COULD YOU STOP THIS SHIT YOU SAMEFAGGING MOTHERFUCKER.NO ONE ON /XS/ CARES ABOUT VIRTUAL SOCCER. IF YOU WANT TO HAVE A TEAM GO TO /SP/ OR /PW/ BECAUSE I GUARANTEE THATS WHERE YOU COME FROM.

I want to learn something that would actually teach me how to use a weapon, near me they have fencing, eskrima and kendo. Of these three which one would have the most real life applicability?
>>200580Kali/Esjrimavis a practical weapons art it has empty hand striking and grappling as well Guro in Kali and Silat here.
>>243101>Kali/Eskrima
>>207614No, in a real fight a touch or a tap isn't going to kill you.
>>200580>>200581Yes but you would end in jail.Mad dog fist is useful on life threatening situations only.
>>200580I think you would like eskrima more. it's like fencing but with more weapons involved. look... if the technique has proper footwork mechanics then if will work with armed and unarmed combat.
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
>>77668>This video is no longer available because the YouTube account associated with this video has been terminated.>Wayback Machine has not archived that URL.If you remember what this video was is there any chance you'd be able to find another upload?
>>131341first of all, do actual parkour, not freerun like most video here
>>194955>>194879parkour is in itself functional : the goal is to go across space as fast as possible. the other one with the tricks is called freerunning
