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

What are the primary differences between Japanese and Okinawan karate?
Okinawan karate is 9 times out of 10 a marketing gimmick and to appeal to Americans who are still upset about Pearl Harbour.
>>251050Kendo has more in common with Judo. Though you do make some interesting points. Really J-Karate long-range was a result of a J-Karate master being influenced by French military advisors doing Savate, a type of foot-fencing martial art with an emphasis on kicks.O-Karate is mainly a mix of different Chinese Fujian kungfu styles mainly Incense Shop boxing and White Crane style.>>265572J-Karate being adopted as a university club, meant that katas and exercises had to make sense in a large group setting.O-Karate dojos were smaller and had more 1-on-1 training.See: Jesse Enkamp's extensive research and videos on this
>>248343Okinawan karate is a stand up grappling style with strikes at mid and close range.The stances are tall like in muay thai and 90% of the moves in kata are grappling techniques.Japanese karate has become a sport prioritizing long range strikes.Gichin funakoshi brought shotokan to mainland japan and he modified Okinawan karate to be simpler in order to be able to teach it to a large number of people at once.Then his 3rd son studied in tokyo university where he come in contact with kendo, inspired by it he made karate competition and adopted the long range approach of kendo making the stances longer and deeper to be able to strike from long range.On one hand this made karate fighters become amazing at long range, counter punching and become fast as fuck but on the other it recontextualized karate into becoming exclusively long range strikes when it originally was meant to be in your face style and have grappling.This completely ruined kata as no move in kata makes any sense as a long range strike because they were short range grappling techniques.Then there's full contact karate which funny enough did inherit the tall stance of original karate and has the mythical toughness of all karate masters.
>>266089Yeah this is true, okinawan karate originally had no kicks above the belt but the Japanese influenced it and most traditional masters teach high kick techniques even though they aren't technically how you're supposed to do them in katas.If you watch enkamps isshinryu video with uechi. Master uechi is my senseis sensei.>>266223I would say this is mostly true but if you look at original katas it's more like 50% grappling and the rest are close range strikes. Southern king fu comes from denser regions and is where karate cane from hence the close range
>>265657You DO NOT touch the boats.
Why do they say you need training for Scuba Diving? Just put the breathing tube in your mouth and turn on the gas. Done
How goes the training bros? Im workshopping a crescent kick -> sideswing combo. Just learned how to do a roundhouse with my front foot and it is incredibly awkward. I also keep dropping my arms or raising them too high like a muay thai fighter when sparring. Im thinking of trying resistance training in the water now that it is summertime. Any tips for that?Remember you must never use it unless you know how to incapacitate without evidence.
Can someone please explain syeps 7 and 8 of tai kawashi (sabaki)
do you think you will be a karate master one day?
>>267068Probably going to go to a judo dojo across town. That or possibly a muay thai gym a little bit closer. Maybe try both and see which one I like more.
What is your view on weapons? Are they important to train? Why would they matter? When should someone start training with them? Yes obviously gun beats sword and no one walks around with a katana
>>267666They are cool to train even if you aren't training for Le self defense. Kobudo is typically taught separate from the empty hand stuff, but sometimes you can train both at the same time. I don't think there's any prerequisite to start learning weapons it's pretty much just when your teacher wants you to.
Mountain Biking General Guess we should make a new if any of the regular anons still want to post about mtbing and haven't fucked off completely from this website. Spring-time in the NH so I guess those that don't bother riding in the winter will be getting back out now.
>>267013>>267014Looking at the geometry of this bike online, it has a really high stack. How tall are you and what's your in-seam? I wonder if you should have sized up. And you're using backsweep bars to set your hand positioning even higher?
>>267152I have the 12° backsweep handlebars because I was trying to alleviate some hand numbness i was experiencing with the stock bars. I believe the bike comes with a 9° backsweep. I make the joke about needing geriatric handlebars as I believe its more common for older riders to use those steeper backsweeps. The backsweep isnt rasing the position of my hands but just tilting the handlebar back to give a more ergonomic fit to my wrist position. I tend to keep the handlebar quite low as I prefer that for climbing. Had I wanted to raise the handlebar theres some adjustability with the stem..Im 5'8 and have perhaps 30" inseam. That's the pants size i buy anyway. I believe i bought the right size. I don't think I'd fit good on the large but I did notice my fit on the bike felt a little off after a few rides. I wanted to sit further back on it.Im really happy with it now with the seat is moved back. I wasn't able to move it back that far without the seatpost dropback.
>>267014>Fair Bicycle DROP BEST UC M6I was looking at this just yesterday.>The longer stem was no good. That also made the steering too heavy.a longer stem makes the steering lighter not heavier>I was trying to alleviate some hand numbnessrevgrips. seriously. I don't know why they work but they do.
>>267187>I wanted to sit further back on it.this is likely a fitness and skill issue. you're too far back on that and as you make progress and try harder features it's going to throw you otb because of that at some point.
Perhaps youre right. I could try removing the seatpost dropback and just change my posture.. its just after it got this bike my ass kept hanging off the back of the seat. Its as though thats where my legs were in the most neutral position. Perhaps its just my shape. I dunno. For whatever reason the bike fits me OK now with the seat moved back. I also have a really sweet polygon Entiat TR8 hardtail. Its a bike from 2019 so its long been since discontinued. Its a plus tire. 3.0" wide w/ 27.5" wheel. I love that bike.. now with that one I didnt feel the need to tweak it. I get a really good fit on polygon bikes right out of the box. Though, its sad that its seen a lot less love since I got GT full sus. Im yearning to take it back out for some rides. It climbes like a breeze. The plus tire allows some seriously low psi. I can usually run 14 to 16 psi on those plus tires. Oodles of grip. Currently, the seat isnt tightened and it has a 60mm stem on it that doesn't work well but im maybe gonna tune it up and put its original stem back on..
Here we discuss HMB, Buhurt, Harnisfechten, SCA Heavy, Armored MMA, and other categories of historically inspired armored sport fighting. We are a very welcoming community and there’s never enough of us, newcomers need not be shy.Share your experiences, discuss arms and armor, appreciate the athletes and smiths, and most of all HAVE FUN!
>>257049American buhurt is fed by the SCA which was founded by sex weirdos in the 1960s resulting in the mix of LGBT+ degen autists and RETVRN autists in the same hobby space. >>260519Use photos of weapons you like, that's how I made wooden swords with my grandfather as a kid.
>>264647We're calling pedos "sex weirdos" now? Literally everyone who founded the SCA was a pedophile.
HelloI'm not into the Buhurt and armored combat in general but I'm looking for an historically accurate late 15th century armor just like the one on op's pic, do you guys know where i could find a blacksmith or idk for it ? around switzerland if possible
>>264923SCAdians are the scummiest people ive ever met I wish buhurt could put more distance between us and them. too bad we have a lot of rapists and wife beaters too
>>253607I DONT THINK SOMETHING LIKE THIS EXISTS IN AUSHAHAHAH.We’re one of the best in the world at it retard.
If you could only teach your daughter one martial art for self-defence, what would it be?
>>263901crazy monkey fistyou all are noobs for not saying this
>>265640Sure, but that's a wash if you're training a woman. I'm just saying you should start with the assumption that by the time she knows to fight or commits to fight, she'll be in grappling range.
Gun.If not gun, knife.If no weapons, it depends on her stature. BJJ or judo. I dislike the idea of BJJ generally because your optimal stance being on the floor is kind of fucking scary, but if you're already on the fucking floor you may as well know what to do once you're there.
Honestly just teach her to go for the balls and to bite his jugular out or gouge his eyes in. Fighting by the rules is for men.
>>263901Rape defense.I win all the time
I miss /asp/, bros...
>>264691>Maybe the quidditch threads but I thought they were a joke/troll.That was a real organized sport/game which happened to be growing in popularity back then, particularly with college kids:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quidditch_(real-life_sport)
>>259899The mountaineering threads peppered with pro wrestling memes were my jam.
>>264623I remember that guy. I think you're right that he was a flip. He avatarfagged as some anime girl called like Toshino Kyoko. We had a decent cocktail of personalities on old asp. Tai chi chuan dude, cobrastyle or whoever who was like a drug addict karate teacher, ninjerfag, the cma guy who nut rided Bruce Lee. It was basically a 4chan version of YMAS but I had fun. Shame that it was needlessly executed by the wrassle faggots on hiromoots orders.
>>267589>YMASwhats YMAS
>>267620Your Martial Art Sucks, which was basically the shitposting subforum for Bullshido.net. Sort of a proto /asp/ and at one point, had a bunch of ancient and entertaining exposes of martial arts frauds. But upon searching for it for the first time in years, I'm realizing that next to nothing was archived. So it goes.
I box. Today is light sparring day. Instructor tells us to go at max speed but 10% power. I have no idea what I am supposed to do during this sparring. If I go at max speed, my punches will have power, especially if they land. I'm a 120kg bodybuilder fuck, so if I catch someone with a light but fast hook, they WILL feel it. Doubly so if they walk into it. It's even worse because we're supposed to do 3 rounds, then change partners, so what's fast/hard changes. Help me out here.
Change the boxing gym since your instructor is retarded
>>267519nah he is pretty good and gets people to win comps
>>267449yeah the "dude only x%" approach is retardedits already retarded but especially really low numbers too.
10% is just touching basically

>>236949Maybe see if you can get around to checking out a Machado Seaside & Beyond or a Sunday.
I wanna get this board so bad and now I finally found a place that sells it half price. Thing is I suck at surfing, I managed to ride mushy waves down the line 5 or 6 time on rental boards, so not sure I deserve to buy an actual board instead of sticking to shitty rentals. I normally bodyboard, usually assuming the dropknee position. My local beach break is weak and crowded btw.
>>267153It's just a cheap foamie the same as any rental foamie, even thought they make cool videos
Swell was TINY, so I drove with the bros to a swell magnet and surprisingly there were drops on some shallow sand banks. When we got there we found the aspiring groms from the local and they were making fun of me, cheeky little bastards.
Went to the star break today. Managed some drops, hit the lip once or twice. Surprisingly, I got more waves when the crowd was bigger. I must be the only kook who adjusts his stance on the thruster by hopping, lol. Will hit it in the evening as well
Your sport is "extreme"?Show me a gif of the most recent death in it.

>>266236context? he doesn't look like he got hit that hard
>>267440If prior head trauma had created a brain bleed then getting hit sufficiently hard enough again can cause a cascade of brain injury that ends in vegetable or death. This has happened a few times over the years in boxing. It probably has to do with the repeated head trauma guaranteed by the ruleset. I.e. when a guy gets dropped you can't go to ground and finish him off, he gets a chance to stand back up and continue getting punched in the face.
King of the Streets - no rules MMA on concrete. Completely underground unsanctioned shit.You may not like it but this is what peak athletic performance looks like. KOTS Discussion: Eye Gouge Supremacy Edition!https://youtu.be/II4vHnf1A5E
>>267235>>267236What you mean apart from controlling the whole fight and deciding whether you get up or get your eyes gouged out?
>>267256KOTG dudes just shrug off being thrown on pavement so it's not a reliable fight ender compared to striking. Going to the ground is bad because it exposes you to eye gouges, aids bites, stabbing, soccer kicks. Time spent on learning submissions or takedowns is better spent perfecting striking, takedown defence and getting out. There was that one fight where the guy judo'd the other guy and choked him out all in the span of 10 seconds but it's an exception.
>>267381Throw them on their head
>>267388you mean like in kotg oh wait
>>267388It turns out this can only happen if your opponent is an extremely physically awkward fuck, like drunk or high or decrepit, or if you nigh-suicidally guide their head down into the ground and risk knocking yourself out ala Kevin Randleman vs Fedor. Concrete floors make the latter option unappealing. KOTS once again dispelling martial arts rumors. Throws on concrete are rarely a fight ender. That said, ending a throw in a dominant position is very important if your opponent can eye gouge you. So 1 point for Judo and kesa gatame.
