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.
It also depends on terrain and conditions
I'm a 30 year old NEET this summer until Fall when I start school. gonna mountain bike multiple times a week probably.
>>263178How will you buy a mountain bike if youre a neet?
>>263196in october last year i was posting in these threads and some anons helped me find a good deal on FB marketplace
>>263199Noice.
After 2+ years of back and forth with like 5 different doctors, I was finally able to convince one last month to send me for an MRI with contrast which show my wrist is completely fucked. There’s a lot wrong, but the biggest things are that I have a full thickness tear of my scapholunate (the surgeon literally said that it’s “gone”) and a partial tear in my TFCC. I need total reconstruction of the scapholunate and the jury is still out for how significant the tear in the TFCC is which will determine the surgical procedure they use for it. I know my wrist is never going to be the same, but has anyone else dealt with something like this before? I’d love to hear others’ experiences. Thanks!

>>259518Anon, I’ve been seeing this post for weeks and every time I do I am left wondering the same thing: do your socks have sock designs on them?

Yes, I read the pins on /fit/, but I wonder if there are other ways that are focused/oriented for combat sports, or will I get the same results with Yoga or whatever else they do?.I am a faggot, and a Kyokushin karate practicioner, so it is needed if you want good kicks.I am only a White belt, and I know with time I will get better at it,. But even then I feel it leaves a lot to be desired (I am 54kgs which is like 120lbs), so my guess is that a decent mobility and flexibility should be the bare minimum for me.So are there other ways to unlock splits and high kicks?

>>262947>What is the fastest way to get flexible for martial artists?Have another guy force your legs into the splits. It not the healthiest way to do it and it would be extremely painful. But it's the fastest.
I hate drifting, how did it get this bad its just full of cringe personality's and inbred ameritards.
Does bjj teach you anything useful?
>>220100The number one thing you learn in jiujitsu is that no amount of "i just see red" fuckery is going to get a competent grappler off of you in mount.
>>253964That's only true if you're 5'3
>>220100It seems they teach you many ways to "present yourself" to your opponent in many environments, as to reduce injuries from the repeated, vigorous and certainly consensual, penetrations of said opponent.
>>220100it teaches me everynight that i am a worthless piece of shit with no ability to learn any grappling whatsoever
>>253964I take it you have been mounted often

>>262764>Im brokeLook into the used market. People sell stuff with lots of life left in it for cheap because they upgraded into something else or because they CONSOOOM'd too hard.
>>262824Well, depends on how intricate the sidesword's guard is. Of course something like a hockey glove would be the bare minimum.>>262797Their jackets and pants have an overheating problem. I haven't used them myself but I know people who do and they complain about it all the time. Moreso than the usual SPES AP Standard.>>262833Also the outlet tab on Spes' website.

Why can't the guy on the left just poke his eyes ?

Do you guys make notes and diagrams for your martial arts and have reference books?I have been thinking about getting the Kodokan book since I won't be doing judo for the foreseeable future and also making notes for my karate and judo.
>>262207Thanks for the advice. I was thinking of getting pic related for my judo and maybe "Best karate" for my Shotokan training or even "Karate-do my way of life".What have you read/recommend?
>>262360I can't give any thoughts on Kano's books but I think Funakoshi's book is a great book for looking into his philosophy and methods on Shotokan pre complete Japanization. From what I've heard Nakayama's Best Karate book series are mainly for fundamentals and the technicality of kata. Most of the reading I've done is for Goju Ryu but I think the concepts that they teach can still be applied to other styles. Iain Abernathy and Lawrence Kane are good if your goal is raw self defence but there are many other good authors as well.
>>262850Is it safe to assume Funakoshi's book deals more with history and philosophy rather than being a "textbook" on pre Japanisation-Shotokan? Either way that seems interesting. Weird question, but, did you feel you were a better karateka after reading the book?
>>262966Pretty much. Most old Karate authors books are like that. Reading the book won't suddenly imbue you with some ancient secret though. In my view books are there to aid you when analyzing or critiquing your Karate. In the end it all falls on you to come to an answer that makes sense and works for you.

>>262634God mma is so fucking boring.
Currently training Kyokushin Karate, but out of pure curiosity, which are other styles that can be compared equally as effective for real combat? Not necessarily on da streetz but a competition or hard sparring.This place near me practices shotokan and isshin ryu from what I remember, I looked a Isshin-Ryu competition and it seemed boring ngl, but I've heard of UFC fighters which their base has been Okinawan Styles outside of Kyokushin.Which are your experiences practicing these styles?
>>262918Kudo gl finding it
>>262918If you want okinawan you want any school that mentions shorin ryu.

>>260914Thinking about doing BJJ or AJJ to get into shape and quit alcohol. Good idea yes or no? Here are my stats>26 years old (almost 27)>6’5”>223 pounds >25% body fat >9 INCH COCK (and girthy)Also I want male only classes and less than 10 people if preferred since I hate crowds (I’m autistic). What do you guys think?
>>262479>Thinking about doing BJJ or AJJ to get into shapeJiujitsu is a great workout, but IMHO it's an even better reason to work out. Improving your strength, resilience, and gas tank on the mats could be a great motivator to get in the gym and do your strength, mobility, and conditioning work.>quit alcoholDon't know much about alcoholism/sobriety, but I gotta think that seeking challenge, learning, growth, etc can't hurt.>statsSeems fine, great time to start training. You're about the same bf% I am, we both need to get leaner.>Also I want male only classes and less than 10 people if preferred since I hate crowdsHard to guarantee, but that matches the vibe of a lot of small hardcore gyms. Just get on google maps, find all the jiujitsu gyms in your area, figure out which ones are within driving distance, and start visiting them. They'll have some form of trial period. Take advantage of that and try them all. Don't get pressured into signing up until after you've made the rounds. Then select the gym you like.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>262479>>262603>IMHO it's an even better reason to work out. >quit alcoholthese all kind of play nicely together. i had already been working out for years and was cutting out drinking a lot in the year or two prior to when i started. hangovers were a huge part of it and now im in the gym friday night, saturday morning. dont get hungover. dont want to be hungover. having classes in the evening during the week and doing cardio or lifting in the morning i just dont have time in the week to feel like shit. shifting some of my focus outside the gym to bodyweight exercises and adding regular stretching i feel better now than i ever did before training. the idea that everybody gets hurt or ends up with major injuries is perpetuated by people that treat them like inevitabilities. ive been hurt twice in the gym in years and missed a grand total of a week. jacked up my knee and just gave up sweeps from half guard on that side for two weeks. took myself out for longer as a white belt getting drunk one night and doing stupid shit. havent had more than two or three drinks at a time since. if you find the type of gym youre looking for theyll pull you along quick. just listen to them and train smart

>>257598didnt the russian federation guy say that he did acknowledge alysa's win as legitimate as in he was there and felt her presence or whataever, and he also did say russian athletes were overscored.
>>257598>RussiansRussians are well known for rigging though, it's not even a conspiracy they've been caught doing it repeatedly.That said, while I don't like Alysa that much she's far from being bad. Regardless of your stance just based on her technical output she's in the top of the olympics for this year. You could argue the Japanese girls were better, but honestly I find them pretty tame too.You can say they're overscored, but who in the lower federations are actually putting out something better? There really isn't much competition there.Like I LOVE Isabeau and Kurokova, but they just objectively don't have the technical abilities to win.
I like watching off-ice videos because the girls like to show their feet.
I just went stars on ice recently, and while it was certainly a fun show, it was a bit disappointing. I knew going in it'd be a watered down version of what they normally do, but idk I was just expecting something that'd make me go holy shit. But largely speaking it just felt like a slightly more polished version of what I'd see the older girls at my rink doing. Obviously better, but not to the extent I feel like I'm seeing a hugely different level of skater.It makes sense, but just a tad disappointing for my first real look at this level. Maybe I'll try to hit skate america or something one of these days.
