Honestly, I'm pretty new to BJJ so it's probably honeymoon phase but I did do kyokushin for 2 years-ish and I feel about the same. It just feels like a genuine respite from the workday. Everyone's there to learn and improve and we all want the same goal, but when you compare it to the workplace, the workplace is everyone's a fucking faggot and does passive aggressive shit all the damn time. It's just weird since while I really want to sock some people at work and I can't. The people at BJJ are some of the nicest people I've ever met and rolling the shit outta them to get them to tap (but like 99% of the time after a minute I'm tapping in) is just such a great feeling. It's like they say in a lot of game and shows. To really know someone's spirit you just gotta have some physical action. That gay? I mean whatever, it's true.

>we didn't do randori
like you didn't do it first time? that's normal you gotta make sure someone is 100% not going to fuckup their fall before you get them fighting.
but if the club/gym doesn't ever do randori it must suck a lot because imo the whole ruleset of judo is made to allow safe fighting
>>261947
I agree with this. the only real risk is tai-otoshi at the wrong angle. you can really fucking fly but if you tuck your chin and breakfall you'll be fine. Bjj guys seem to fuck their knees more than judo from what I've seen.

>>264675
Yeah seoi or drop seoi you can end up going over their head face first. Happened during speed drilling once and I def shat bricks in mid air. But luckily I didn't completely go head first. Someone got drop seoi'd face first and ended up with a bleeding nose luckily. I mostly just end up with sprained toes ALL THE TIME.

>>244716
I'm 43 and I want to learn drunken boxing. I realize this would be a complete waste of time other than the health benefits, and sort of cringe too probably. Not to mention there's nowhere to actually learn it.

Anyways, I think a lot of the enjoyment you might find comes from a good gym, meaning you're comfortable there, the people are supportive, they don't push you past your comfort level, and it's a positive atmosphere and not one where people are being try hard jerks, but it's also a legit school and not a mcdojo. It's a very unique balance to find, so yeah I think it's less the actual martial art and more the legitimacy of the school and the atmosphere.

>My 10 year old wants to start playing disc golf. Do I buy a starter set or give me the best 3 discs to start and play and he will continue to want to keep in his bag so it’s not wasted money.
I would start him off with just a putter. Bit of a pain in the ass, but getting form down is more important.
Since he's young you are probably going to want to get him lighter discs - 166g for a putter should be good; 172+ will likely be a little difficult to putt with until he's older and has some more hand strength.
5 speeds can be a bit finicky at lower weights, dip up into the 6s and get him something like a 155g MVP Relay.
If he gets decent throwing those two, then look for something like a Blizzard Wraith in the mid 150s.

It has now been 4 years since the *ahem* incident, so the healing process in your rectal region should begin around now.

You're pretty spoiled for options. You should really try all of them (at least for a trial class or two) to see what you like best. Personally I'd rank them bjj < kosen judo < wrestling

>bjj
Great martial art, but there are schools everywhere. The option is always going to be there regardless of the time/year.

>kosen judo
It's commonly thought to be a newaza-focused judo style, but that's a misconception. It's a specific ruleset that has more groundwork involved due to the meta of the format, rather than them specializing in it. If they're genuinely doing kosen, it's worth pursuing because it's extremely rare outside of Japan. However, there are judo hipsters who do slightly more newaza than usual and co-opt the kosen name for marketing. If it's the latter case, it's not as appealing.

>wrestling
Since you're still in school, you should take advantage of it while you can. Options for wrestling are very limited for non-collegiate adults.

I will train you, however you need to bring at least 2 friends

>>265711
Wrestling and it’s not even close. It will teach you aggression, dominance, explosiveness and put you in the best condition of your life. There is no fit like wresting fit.

>>265711
Depends what do you want to learn. I would do bjj only after wrestling or judo unless you're sure that the gym you choose will teach takedowns well.

>>265715
Your reasoning for wrestling is why I'd bump it to the top of the list. I do bjj but I'm also at one of the two or three schools out of 20+ in the city that has an in house wrestling coach. Almost everywhere is gonna have a couple former wrestlers you can work with but I find even being able to pick the brain of someone that did it at such a high level is invaluable

>>265820
May Allah forgive me for saying this but Midnightsumo on Twitch not only restreams the basho live but also does a rerun of each day immediately after that day finishes, meaning you could start watching the whole day at 9am or catch the ending at 4pm or so, but then you don't get to shitpost live.

>how does one dodge and slip?
Practice on a slip rope, shadowboxing, double end bag. If you got a friend, have them work mitts for you and let them mix in straights and jabs so you can practice defense.

>>253712
This is the reason I dislike being a lefty.

>>260218
i got one too years ago.

>>253386
useless advice. you're not mentioning the most important principle.
>>253381
As far as said important principle.
Here is the most important part.
You need to measure/know the limits of human reaction time(always the same +- a little if guy is bigger=slower or smaller or skinnier=faster) and base everything you do on that.
The actual method of dodging you choose can vary quite a bit(builds/preferences/etc) but all of them depend on this.
I'll try to give you a shorthand estimate for various moves and you can figure the rest out yourself.
Jabs = too fast. can't react if already in range. must always read/predict. The reason why they set the tone and work with everything.
Also the reason your guard should be up ahead of time to cover for misreads on your slips.
Base your slip/parry/sway/any defensive tech or even counters/attacks on mental timings based on the moment you're within the opp's jab range and the moments before and after it too.
Also after you're already in range you need to grasp the mental timings or rhythm of your opp if you happen to go into an extended exchange.
Alot of this is based on constantly anticipating moves and moving preemptively.
Preemptive empty leading slipping/approaching/retreating movements can alter/control the opp's timing for attack so you should do those all the time. Since you're leading their aim and timing they'll need to also read you to land a hit. Then from this point on it becomes a constant reading match between the two of you and the one who understands the other better and makes more correct bets on everything will win.
Outside of jabs/unreactable moves anything else that is slower can be used as a feint on whether they will fully commit or not on the strong swing and they all intertwine with the jab metagame(via combos/feints/hiding moves behind other moves/fcking around with distance and aim/etc).

I'm having a shit time at the moment in Les Arcs, my boots are really fucking sore on my soles and calfs, I don't know if the board is even set up properly.

It at the state where every slope I need to take a rest after.

Also I'm on antibiotics, so maybe that's a reason.

>>259832
Are your boots or bindings too tight? I kept getting foot cramps and loosened both a bit and I'm doing better now. Need to change the degree on my front binding though because I'm at 0 (have been so for the 20+ years I've been boarding) and now my front knee is starting to hurt bad when it bends as I go over bumps. My while right is ancient and falling apart piece by piece on the mountain.

>>259844
I actually went down on the size and It helped a lot.

As for the binding, I didn't get that sorted cause the French guy was like 'aye mmuh sorrea, aye cannuh helph yuh'

Nah, the point is when you compete the other guy is going full out. And when you go state it's the guy who won against another guy going full out. Impossible to equalize anyway, an underpopulated place could have a world champ living there or something.

Belts are based. Martial arts = sinking 100s of hours into suboptimally preparing for a scenario that is statistically unlikely. But if you get a belt on top, it adds a cool larp aspect. "John Doe, just a regular office worker, but secretly a karate black belt"

>>261162

>How viable/worth learning is wrestling
Extremely so
>How do you learn wrestling as an adult?
By walking into a wrestling gym and asking to train there. If there are none near you, no-gi BJJ is the next best thing, and after that jacketed styles like gi BJJ, Judo or Sambo

>>265130
>How do you learn wrestling as an adult?
Functionally impossible. You can learn it at any high school in America but if you missed that you're fucked. Practically speaking you can only learn BJJ, MMA or Judo, and pick up whatever bits of wrestling they teach. Probably MMA is the most practical among those.

I think the little time I had in the karate dojos was worth it. I wouldn’t mind doing Goju Ryu or Kyokushin in addition to kickboxing but I don’t have enough time or money for that.
>do you think those aspects are crucial for a gym's quality?
I think that if you’re taking any kind of striking class to actually learn how to win a fight then you have to have bag work, pad work, and at least sparring if not competition.
>why didn't you go to a kickboxing gym?
Kickboxing culture doesn’t exist in the US the same way it does in some other parts of the world, to make matters worse I’m in the southeast away from any major cities. To go to a pure kickboxing gym that taught anything close to K1 rules kickboxing I’d have to drive hours.
> how has been your experience with mma?
I haven’t done any of the MMA or grappling classes, just boxing and kickboxing. Everyone seems nice and welcoming. It has way more students than some of the other places I’ve tried, I don’t think any of the coaches will know my name for months. I may also start going to a local Jiu Jitsu place once a week since they have a weekly free class for cops. I’m probably going to wait until I get in better shape kickboxing before I try to learn two styles at once though. Kudo is cool, I’d try it if I had it near me.

wow that sucks, i thought the US would have a lot of kickboxing gyms around, considering they had the whole full contact era and all that

When I met my current teacher in person the first time for a tour he was teaching at this dinky little place in a plaza. Everything he was telling me was legit and wasn't anything fantastical. He does charge a down payment which can be considered a red flag but he does it to make sure that you are committed to training with him.

For the two years Ive been with him Ive learned more actual fighting and karate than I have in other places in the 5 years prior. I think a good checklist to finding a good school is consistent, realistic sparring and drilling as well as the general culture and language. He's ex-military so he won't mince words about bullshit kata application and fighting techniques. It also helps that he isn't braggy about his military past but don't get him started on how they trained "back in his day".

There are still slight issues I have with the school. We've had to change locations twice in the past year due to external factors which halted the flow of training. Sometimes he'll show us a drill or technique once and expect us to remember it 6 months later. That being said I'm more than satisfied with my experience there and am grateful I didn't sign up for another lackluster karate school

i'm glad you found such a great instructor, what style do you practice?

>realistic sparring and drilling
i'm sorry if i'm dense but what would you call "realistic sparring and drilling", do you use protections? is it full contact? do you do those self-defense drills like hapkidoins?

>general culture and language
do you mean you all use the correct japanese terms and all that? or something else?

I do Goju Ryu after trying Shorin Ryu and Kyoskushin and it feels the best for me. Originally I wanted to do Uechi Ryu but no schools near me. Good dojo culture is just making sure the school isn't drinking the kool aid and getting too into the tradition, as well as hazing and other bullshit. I've done a 180 on my thoughts about Kata and I think its important, so slow controlled drills and sparing implementing kata techniques. Then of course hard knockdown sparring to remember what its like to get hit.
