Bodyboarder here. Been pretty infrequent over the past few years due to work. I start early and finish late. No time to surf other than on the weekends. Had a fun sunday afternoon session today though. Landed a few reverse spins and got a few barrels at a local sand bank. Was fun. A stand up surfer commented on how he wished he could get compact enough to fit into the little barrels.

What are the primary differences between Japanese and Okinawan karate?
>>248343Japanese karate has less larping, I mean less bunkai or "practical" application of kata.Japanese - kata is basically formalized as a dance, but they do it anywayOkinawa - they still pretend kata is useful
>>251050also kendo used to have grappling, leg sweeps, take-downs..it was more like HEMA I guess? in pre-WW2 era
what about "pre-karate" Okinawan Te, Kobudo, and other "primitive" forms? are they worth learning, or just historical curiosites?>pic is Siam Island boxing, supposedly direct ancestor of Te
>>254680That just doesn't exist.
>>251696The rhythm element
What is the best martial art if you are normal sized (5'11/6 foot) but physically weak (110 pounds)? Those are my stats.Eskrima sounds nice but you can't carry sticks or knives around with you like an fighting game character.
>>239977No fighting discipline can make you invincible. And some people fight just great without taking any kind of classes.But I've never come across anyone who takes Muay Thai seriously, who could not handle themselves in a real brawl.Boxing also helps develop a wide array of strengths. A good boxing gym will beat most other options, for physical and mental strength, and agility.Anything with grappling is also helpful (wrestling, ju-jitsu, judo) but you need to get used to being beat on the head and whopped in the nuts, if you want to stand a chance in the aggression of a committed fight.(Source: nothing really, I've done a ton of fighting disciplines, most are beautiful, develop character, and help you to avoid fights preemptively. But then make little difference if you're mugged at knife-point or jumped by burly thugs who mess people up every day.)
>>239977I started literally where you are in my early 20's. Same height, same weight (I'm also on the verge of 5'11/6'). In fact I could have written this - I tried Eskrima first too. I've done a mix of Krav Maga, Eskrima and Muay Thai. (Krav Maga is gay)I had never really cared about being small until I sparred someone and they said "...and you're a pretty small guy", which made me realize I was at a physical disadvantage. I couldn't stand that. I ate food, lots of protein and did a fully balanced routine (trained like a bodybuilder but also trained for strength; minimal dumbfuck routines that just "squat bench and deadlift" develop severe muscle imbalances). Size and strength do make a difference. I walk around comfortably at ~180 lbs now. There is no comparison to how I feel, and how I perform in sparring, compared to before. I can feel it when I punch people. I've rolled with some guy who was like 210 but less in shape and it was like throwing a retarded sack of potatoes around. His confidence at being "bigger" went out the door quickly.Focus on building mass and strength. Even getting to 150 lbs. at your size will make a world of difference. Keep up cardio as well. I promise you you'll thank me if you stick with it.
>>257272>I'm also on the verge of 5'11/6'LolLmao evenDo manlets really
>>239977Do you care about the sport, or do you just care about being able to defend yourself? If it's the latter, then carrying and training with weapons is the easiest and most efficient solution.

This is all you need to win.
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.

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
>>256479https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVSFQys0W38Good video.For beginners through I always generally recommend FRX 80s since they're super popular and well supported with parts and addons.
I got the Rollerblade Lightning 80 but I feel I did a mistake since I mostly cruise long distances around my city.Should I buy 110mm triskates (Lightning 110) or upgrade my Lightning 80 with better wheels and bearings?
>>257475No need for new wheels and bearings. Buy a 110mm frame and wheels.
I have found my people.Noob question: How does a beginner deal with every single safe path, parking lot, and road available being either hilly as hell, covered in gravel, or both? There are no rinks or indoor courts available either. I managed to sneak some practice in an underground parking garage, but I then got told off by an old lady, so that's out too.
>>258000I like practicing in outdoor basketball courts and tennis courts.

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
>>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?
make sure you guys get your repacks before the season starts
any Spaceland Dallas jumpers?
I've Been Playing For 25 Years But I Stopped Enjoying It 15 Years Ago Edition.Old thread: >>142716We're coming back any day now, boys.
>>245414thats my shit right there.
>>245512yea that era of paintball was the peak. mags and cockers, actual athleticism and big paint. i had a shit ton of folks outraged when i suggested a "Classic Mech League" with no space mechs allowed. -revvys only-single trigger -mags and cockers only-no r/t, no hair trigger, limit lbs/trigger pullthe emek and mech trigger kit electro guys were very butthurt that i would come up with a mech game they weren't allowed to hide behind bps with. "you should allow emeks at least" "these rulesmake no sense, theres no difference between modern mechs and the older stuff" "no one will show up to a game like that, its unsponsorable" definitely gave me more incentive to try and actually put something together.
First time posting here, been getting more into paintball as my interest shifts from shooting friends in the woods near our houses to actual field play.Recently fixed up an old spyder fenix (new seals, capacitor I pulled out of a junk pc lol, and some grease) and a WGP autococker. What do you use for lubricants? I got a tube of grease from Evike and it feels a bit thick to use on the striker bolt seal. It's a paste at soom temp so i figure it'd slow the bolt down along its travel and cause the marker to feed slowly. Is this a justified fear? I asked a guy at a shop if lightweight silicone oils were okay to use with sealing surfaces (on markers) and got a resounding no.

Thinking of getting into it. I already have a ton of hobbies, so not sure when I would have time do this one... >skydiving>drone flying>playing piano>ride motorcycle >running / gym>soccer >gun range shooting
I have shekels to burn and have no other hobbytell me why I shouldn't do paramotoring
>>215575You are just poor at judging risk and think your abilities are infallible and overrate the risk of other people injuring you in a activity versus you injuring yourself.
>>207635it is VERY noisy. Dad used to do it, he had to wear earplugs and eventually sold the engine because of that. Using the wind and thermals as your engine is far better+ you dont become a fatass as you actually have to hike up the mountain to the takeoff. Also cheaper
>>211438too low for that i think. He shouldve been holding his controls instead of the phone then he wouldve been able to fix the collapse in time.
>>209064>Aaaaurgh aaaaaaaaurgh...>I craaaaaaashedThat video had no business being so funny
>>257200I agree using the wind and thermals is better, but blocking the noise is not that difficult, use earplugs and over the ear style muffs and the sound is all but gone. However, this does nothing to help everyone with the misfortune of being near you.>>256887I know I am not infallible so I think very carefully when choosing when and where to fly. If you knew much about pg's you would agree that most acciidents are 100% avoidable (not all unfortunately). Motorbikes on the street are completely different, every motorist you encounter along the way has the potential to end your life in a second and in many cases there is nothing you could do about it.
Any sport. Looking for old school stuff in particular.

>>253869The South African grand prix death video is very extreme. A track marshall gets hit by an f1 car at full speed through a straight. The impact sends the man spinning so violently his body rips itself apart. All that was left of him was an unrecognizable lump of gore. The only way the officials could determine who was hit was by taking a roll call.

As someone who is the same age as charlie, snowboarded my first black slope, learning skateboarding, falling off now and again.Charlie is full of shit here.https://youtube.com/shorts/lOW0gnh4kS4?si=iPYsrzzWuKEltLF1
>>252015some retard
>>251994Yeah I agree, I think skateboarding is a little less forgiving than say snowboarding or wakeskating or whatever given that you're falling on concrete but you can still do it...you just gotta work your way up to the cool stuff. That being said I broke my ankle skating at 30, had to get plates and screws put in, and haven't really got back into it since but it's more of a mental thing than anything else for me
skateparks are full of teens and crackheads, not really the best of places
i'm 37 and i bought a skateboard again a couple years ago because i used to skate when i was in my late teens but my body feels too heavy now and I twisted my ankle and it hurt way more than it used to and i need to go to work and cant afford to injure myself and be out of work for two weeks over a bad ankle.

How would you create a martial art that had as it's main purpose to be most effective against UNTRAINED people? Are there any techniques that are useless in a trained context but disproportionally effective when used against untrained people?Kind of like how in chess there are openings that are principally not sound and easily rebuked by people who know how to play chess, but allow you to easily checkmate a complete beginner (like the scholar's mate).
Headbutts are the first thing that spring to mind when I hear "disproportionately effective". Basically takes no skill in terms of technique or execution but can have devastating effects.
>>251389Master the art of crackhead fighting
>>251389If any martial art isn't good against untrained people, that shouldn't even qualify as one
>>251389The average person can't react, has shit footwork and no stamina. So anything that moves a lot and has deadly strikes works.That's basically a lesser version of Capoeira desu.
>>251389If you are attacking/defending against untrained people on the street, use a gun or some other weapon for the best results. Martial arts are a sport first and foremost.
The Christ edition Old thread>>253192
>>257981He's honestly great to watch even just as a teacher honestly. It's rare to see people who are so clearly one of the best in their fields (or were at a time) be so interested and passionate about teaching people, even complete beginners. His skate clinics are honestly really interesting to watch just in term of pure pedagogy - he is incredibly good at 'abstracting' a situation, looking at a student and being to tell okay, this is the one specific thing you're doing wrong, and then being able to come up with different ways to help the student see in what way they're not doing it right in the first place, and then a plan for how to fix it.I don't know, there's something cool about watching a great teacher be great at his job, be it teaching skateboarding or mathematics or music or whatever.
