What's up with huge guy usually not knowing how to fight?
>>250012Go and fight him and see how you do
>>250012They rarely get into fights since people are afraid of them due to their size. So they rarely get into fights which means they lack experience. Big guys who actually have fighting experience will fuck most people up
>>250012>What's up with huge guy usually not knowing how to fight?they rely on size to intimidate and strength if they do fight, but a real fighter is not intimidated and knows how to beat fatty.

>>250521But why in this tournament https://youtu.be/GNdgf0qnhgc?si=nwGZG1Utq7LV8mGE not even one of the men could win any of integender matches tho? If guys have an advantage they should at least win one single match
I'm noticing a bit of pain when I receive men strike. From one dojo-mate in particular, he is taller than me and so tends to strike a bit flat on the top of the men.That got me wondering about the chances of concussion and long-term effects on brain health, like CTE, etc. There doesn't seem to be a lot of discussion about this in kendo. I guess anecdotally you look at most older kendoka and sensei and they seem fine despite decades of men strikes but who knows. I hate the idea of wearing a pad underneath the men, but I don't really know what other preventative measures are available. I want to do Kendo for many more years, but would rather not develop Alzheimers if I can help it
>>250811Kendo strikes should not hurt and it if its from one guy that means he is probably hitting two hard and needs to either correct his technique or moderate his power, or both. I have heard word of mentions of CTE with Kendo in Japanese but I don't know if there is much evidence that the risks are has high as with boxing or football. As you say there are many men started as kids and who still do Kendo to advanced age. On the other hand, there are a lot of unknowns about CTE.

Just found out about this sport. Seems too cool to be this niche. Anyone into it?
>>248062>No tricking thread?It was tentatively lumped into the parkour thread under the assumption that there wouldn't be enough discussion to sustain separate threads but it's definitely different enough to warrant a distinct thread if there's adequate interest. You might find some posts relevant to your interests there either way:>Freerunners can post, too. Maybe even gymnasts and trickers if you don't get your own thread up and running.>>76604>Anyone into it?I keep up with some basic parkour and I used to train taekwondo but I've never combined the two enough to be considered tricking. I tried to learn backflips once with the help of two coaches: one thought I had it and the other thought I needed assistance through the flip so I got pushed on one side and not the other, resulting in me rotating sideways and kicking the coach who didn't push me in his head hard enough to put an end to backflip lessons. >>248066Sometimes. Tricking consists of gymnastics movements like that combined with martial arts movements like high kicks. >>248077Jujimufu on YouTube is somewhat mainstream and was primarily a tricker before he became a bodybuilder. I think the reason people don't know about trickers is that there's too much overlap between movement disciplines and a normie doesn't know or care whether the practitioner in a seven second social media clip is doing tricking, freerunning, wushu, taekwondo, parkour, gymnastics, etc., etc. so they just assume it's whatever discipline they're most familiar with or that the individual is simply doing a flip outside of the context of a specific art. Jujimufu memed himself as the "anabolic acrobat" because everybody knows basically what an acrobat is and that's close enough to what tricking is to get the point across.

>>248257>Everything that's too difficult for my fat obese sedentary ass to do is bad
>>248257They're basically doing martial arts wuxia movie fight choreography without an opponent
>>248062I always thought these types of sports were cool because you can pretty much do them anywhere without any equipment. Like at almost any moment, you could just bust out a cool flip and a kick and anyone who happens to see it will be amazed. Seems like an easy way to elicit attention to yourself

why don't more people skate with bigger wheels? I'm talking 60mm and above.it feels so much better to skate when you're not trying to balance precariously on little tiny baby wheels, where even a speck of dust will send you flying.
>>250557retard
>>247105fpbp OP exposed as kook
58s are about right, trucks with a shorter wheelbase will help offset the steepness for pop (ie ace, venture v8 but I haven't tried them yet idk if the wheelbite will be bad)
I only skate 56mm and up. Mostly 60mm slimeballs or oj's. It does make some things harder but I love the amount of speed you can sustain on big wheels. Plus they just look cooler.
>>247108>to the kids these daystrends on this have swung back and forth a couple times. the desirable wheel diameter when i was a kid in the 90s was around 40mm. just completely ridiculous for anything other than pristine smooth skateparks.

How risky is it to learn to box with vision problems? Is it possible to learn real boxing, meaning with sparring, if you have myopia or moderate astigmatism? I can't stand feeling so insecure about my body and my lack of willpower
>>250634I'm short sighted and i do kickboxing, it's not a problem, the distance where you throw punches is close enough, yeah you might be at a small disadvantage but it's not like you're aiming for world championship. If you're really worried do grappling instead.
>>250634my vision kinda sucks, the honest answer is that it depends. You're not going to need super hawk vision for anything, you're not looking for them to clench their first in a magic death punch or nothing. If you can see their body and the general twist of their hands, that's gonna be sufficient.
I want to learn something that would actually teach me how to use a weapon, near me they have fencing, eskrima and kendo. Of these three which one would have the most real life applicability?
>>247846Maybe instead of saying fast progress I should have said I’m afraid of making slow progress at 50% speed because of bad teachers. I don’t have a lot of time to waste as I’m getting older. I don’t mind putting in the hours but I don’t want to do it purely out of bad teaching slowing me down. I’m trying to get back into shape for firefighting so I also don’t have a lot of time either in general for periods of the year. not enough to waste without making progress if that makes sense. my biggest concern is putting in 500 hours into something I could have gotten just as good at in 300 hours with the right teachers. But I don’t mind putting the time in if it pays off.>>247856SmartWhat are your places like you trained at? How did you find them?>>247859I think they’re all cool I think that some of them are cooler than others though. it doesn’t make sense for me to travel 3 hours to a place to practice though and it doesn’t make sense for me to do nothing because I don’t have what I “want” to do near me, so I’m willing to be flexible.I’d like to get to the point I can compete in a year or two. it seems like fun recreationally. And I’m concerned with making fast beginner progress in the first few months so I don’t get bored. that happened with me an TKD when I was much younger where they wanted me to do the 20 step kata over and over when what I wanted to do was two or three step drills and light sparring and practicing individual moves to get the form down.Comment too long.

>>247876You can compete within a year or two in both western fencing and kendo. Ask the club how often they usually have competitions.You usually will be practicing for around 6 months in kendo before you can start wearing the protective armor (bogu). Before then you can’t really “spar”, you’ll be learning footwork and basic swings. The reason is because wearing the armor too early can actually mess up your kendo and make you form bad habits early on. Olympic fencing also places a big emphasis on footwork first, but I think generally you can start sparring much earlier. Ask the instructor what their timeline for beginners looks like.Btw, iaido has almost no actual “fencing” component to it. It’s basically all kata as you describe.
>>247876>What are your places like you trained at? How did you find them?I didn't write that, it's in the thread I also quoted, but it's something we have all come to agree if a self defense/competition place is what you want.That aside, I'm a judoka. The only serious, proper (as in, not ridiculously small garages) place I could find was a national judo dojo for training Olympic athletes. A shodan there was granted permission to teach to adult beginners.
Learn anatomy.Find some friends and start stress testing with training knives or noodles. Hell, use a marker or a brush with some shit on it to track contact.Start slow, try to strike a certain area, and have your friend try to defend or even disarm.Speed the movements up, slowly working up towards a realistic speed.Try every variation possible, and practice it all.Then introduce some combo strikes, find a flow.Then realize how FUCKED you would be in a real knife v knife scenario.Techniques won't do jack fucking shit for you in practice, motor skills and actually understanding movement/principles will.You need to learn to intuitively put the pointy thing deep enough into the soft thing while your opponent is spazzing or offering resistance.
>>200580Eskrima/Kali is tons fun. Get some sticks and practice solo drills with YT videos if there is no school you can go to. There is about a 0 chance you will get into a stick on stick fight in real life, but knowing how to hit someone else with one could very well come in handy. Also, the drills are just a lot of fun and build great coordination.
Stupid fucking retarded french SNCF doesn't allow snowboards on trains but allows skisI read the official policy and it's apparently even more retarded than that. They have NO restrictions on skis, but snowboard is restricted to 130 x 90 cmFucking what? Kill yourselves frog munching snail slurping fagsAny suggestions? Should I say fuck it and take my snowboard on? I'm taking the tvg lyria from Paris to geneva
>>248001Have you considered just having a car and not being a loser.
>>248002I'm an AMERICAN ok you french loving faggot I have two at home. And these are REAL cars, MAN cars. I can fit your crappy peugeoto pussy wagon in my cars glove box ok? I thought it would be fun to take the europoor transit system. Now I am seeing why FREE AMERICA has no shitty trains.
>>248004If your american then you should just rent a car you'll likely enjoy driving over there anyways.
>>248004Just bring your car over if you're so rich then, faggot.
Just put them in a ski bag ? From experiance they are not gonna check the bag size anyway.
What strength training routines do these types of fighters maintain?Could this be replicated at home?
Tren
>>249999repeating digits checkedpull up push up squat and its variations done explosively for striking sports
>>249999it's always the same compound exercises everyone does, yes you can do them at home just buy the stuff you need
>>249999I'd take a look at D1 college wrestling programs and what they do for their conditioning
good resource, helped me a lot:https://www.youtube.com/@willratelle8027big thing if you're training judo with intense training programs is to keep volumes low and stimulus consistent but not burdensome
How likely is it to practice martial arts in home, and how can it be done?
>>250002Borderline worthless, unless you're already *very* proficientYou need full contact sparring
>>250002The biggest problems in striking are managing distance and creating openings. You will practice neither of these if you are just training alone. Punches and kicks won't do much if they don't land, and landing punches against an opponent who counters and uses footwork is a lot harder than most people think.
>>250002You're gonna need a teacher to tell you if you're even doing the move right you could easily practice something like boxing at home only to end up having a shit jab or hook simply becuase you've been training it wrong for ages. Then when you go see a real teacher it's gonna be harder to correct
