How do Muay Thai fighters train? Do they do technique, cardio, sparring, and calisthenics?
>>
no none of that
>>
yes to all
>>
i'd argue you have to ways. running and lifting or bike and calisthenics. i'd rather do bike and calisthenics
>>
At the gym I go to in Thailand we start with either running or skipping for cardio/warm up. Then we do pad work with the trainers. Usually three to four rounds of pad work depending on your cardio. During padwork the trainers try to fix your technique and teach you useful combos. Then we do some work on the bag to build power. Finally, we finish off with sparring. 2 hour session in total. I am exhausted by the end. Electrolytes are a must have.

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!

Well after a nice reprieve from bracing, for the last 2 months, I noticed my symptoms started getting worse, so now I’ve been upgraded to this for the rest of the summer and fall until I get surgery, at which point I’ll get to upgrade once again to a cast. Yay…

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.

What are the best masks to get? Assume no budget limitations. I've been going with a friend who has a spare marker a few times and I want to figure out exactly how I want to play before I pick a marker, but I want a good mask regardless and the rental ones are BAD.
What are the best options? i5? EVS? Proflex? CRBN? Some kind of WARQ Simmunition setup? Most of the references I can find are either old enough to not have some options or factor price into the rankings.

As for guns, probably doing a Planet Eclipse CS3, but also considering doing some silly pump thing.

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.

Best martial art you could do is MMA,
but OP in particular needs to gain weight.
OP, you can start whatever martial art you want, but if you don't gain a lot of weight and a lot of muscle it's not going to matter, you're going to get rekt. Martial arts are a physical pursuit. Godspeed.

So I’ve always had this question: if a fighter in, a physical sport like karate or MMA or something like that would purposely hurt their opponents during a fight or like a sparring match, and if so, how and why would you do it, and would you try to be discrete about it or just do it? Or maybe you just did it once for a specific reason or targeted someone. Whatever the case may be, I’d love to hear your takes on this if y’all have done it or something similar.

What's lower? Do you mean rear shock absorber?

I think he means the moving part of a suspension fork that the wheel attaches to. I'm not knowledgeable enough about fork service to know how a lower service would be distinct from an overall fork service though.

I see. he's talking about the fork, specifically the lower part of the fork..

Yea, I'd do this all myself. I don't want to pay anyone.

Started Judo about a month ago and I've been really struggling desu, more so than I feel I should. I'm not out of shape either, I have some of the best cardio in the whole class. It's just that the level of athleticism required for judo is much higher than I anticipated, and I feel I seriously lack the coordination and flexibility to properly execute many of the throws (I've yet to get one legitimately clean throw yet desu). Would BJJ be better for a guy like me? I've only done ne waza like twice but the times I have done it I felt it came much more naturally to me than the other aspects of judo.

Bruh you are one month in? I do both judo and bjj and bjj is far easier on the body and in general. It's really an old mans martial art desu.
>>
>>261550
If you can't handle a month of judo then you won't be able to handle a month of BJJ, or any combat sport, or probably any sport in general. You're probably not executing any throws clean because you're training twice a week, probably learning breakfalls and multiple throws at the same time, and going against people with more experience than you.

If you want to feel good, maybe bring a friend (you do have friends, don't you?) so that you're not the worst person in the class any more, and see how you go against them.

>It's just that the level of athleticism required for judo is much higher than I anticipated, and I feel I seriously lack the coordination and flexibility to properly execute many of the throws (I've yet to get one legitimately clean throw yet desu).
That's what practice is for. BJJ is pretty physical too, there's no ez mode and learning curves for a complete beginner are pretty steep. I'd keep at it unless you don't like it or if there's something wrong with you physically/you're at risk of injury
>>
Judo throws are extremely difficult because you are trying to score for ippon. It's a very specific criteria. If you want to learn how to crudely drag someone to the floor and submit them or escape from bottom then BJJ is better


There's a reason every MMA fighter does bjj over judo

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.

You don't have time to properly rehydrate before a fight, you have intracellular and extracellular osmosis and homeostasis interrupted by the extreme weight cuts that is linked to lower fluid in the skull, which is less cushion for the brain, which increases concussion and CTE. End weight cutting.
>>
What I do find interesting about KOTS is that it to a certain extent redeems all the kung fu "2 deadly for da ring" talk everybody poopooed for years. Things like eye gouges are in fact completely devasting. There's several examples (not only the one from the OP) where arguably an inferior fighter wins because he pulls off an eye gouge or headbutt. Things like that do dramatically change the game.
Obviously you still need a decent base in the fundamentals, but still.

/HEMA/ General - my buckler's face when Edition

HEMA stands for Historical European Martial Arts, sometimes also called Historical Fencing.
It's reconstructing how to fight with swords, daggers, polearms, and other weapons based on old European fighting treatises
