I think the most legendary ones were Tyson (he would need to get out of prison) and Karelin but it's rather obvious that Tyson would lose due to lack of grappling skills. Karelin would be more serious threat to the Gracies because he would toss them around easily but Idk if he would be able to actually end the fight.
>>261711That fight was after UFC 1, here's the 1993 one from before it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLbwAzPOaAM15:30
>>261710>Those guys are the same generation you're talking about from prideThey didn't participate in Pride, did they? Or are you saying those are old retired Pride champions? Cause I don't see Cro Cop nor Don Frye nor Sakuraba in these fucking clips.Also even if you were correct and these were some peak fucking athletes who secretly dominated the hidden tournament in my 90s, again see again my point of "just because Mike Tyson now fights like a geriatric now does not mean he was never a good fighter" you fucking idiot. But even then, they aren't, these are some random old dudes, unless one of these is a Gracie, but again, they've all been fraud checked in Pride by Sakuraba. Also what part of most BJJ practitioners being frauds do you not understand? Hell, the UFC is awful now because it's dominated by BJJfaggots and shitty mediocre Kickboxers, the latter of whom would easily be mogged by Andy Hug if he were still alive, or even Nicholas Pettas. >Back in those days everyone was equally bad at fighting so they looked impressiveYour proof is...a bunch of old BJJ geriatric practitioners? (With no context as to whether or not they are actual veterans or just a bunch of old dudes that started recently)Jesus christ, no wonder the stereotype of modern UFC fans being braindead still rings fucking true.
Jon Jones>>261726>the UFC is dominated by frauds and shitty fightersebin. how are they dominating if they dont know how to fight?
>>261711He's a big fat phoney just like all the resthttps://youtube.com/shorts/wq2-tRa61qk?si=Hm53LcbucUtbvBkk
>>261870>ebin. how are they dominating if they dont know how to fight?First of all, nice misquote of what I said. You know what I said was more nuanced than that. Secondly, the problem is Dana White's low payments and the UFC's low standards.Look at Rizin, Pride or even Kickboxing places like ONE or K-1. They all have professional well-paid fighters, most of which are diverse in their styles and systems as well. Dana White pays his fighters peanuts, as such desperate tattooed low-income men who speedrun their skills get in to get some sort of quick buck. Sure there's a few great fighters here and there. But the majority of fighters that get into the UFC nowadays are just very meh. This should be obvious to anyone who actually watches shit other than the UFC.

Currently shopping for a dirt bike and have around 6k saved, 5'10 165 pounds, live in Arizona so I can find plenty of trails. Only riding experience I have is learning on a KX100 used for enduro and general trail fuckery and bought a crf250r before it blew up. Should have replaced the oil control rings as my buddy told me but live and learn. Both bikes are across the country so those are off the table.I can also fabricate custom parts such as racks, bash plates, crash guards so if any mods need to be made then so be it.I have learned clutch control and can hit small jumps but haven't learned to pop wheelies, whips, or any crazy shit. I can manage a 250 just fine but I am rusty as I haven't ridden in almost 2 years. I will mainly do trail riding with some occasional high speed riding. Here are my options:>Buddy who lives in SoCal 5 hours away is selling a 2018 FX350 with low engine hours for $5k since he can't ride anymore after a crash. My main concern is the rebuild costs and intervals.>Go on facebook marketplace and find a 250 in good shape with some money left over for mods, repairs and tools>buy a new klx230r from a dealership but risk getting raped with taxes and fees tacked onWhat do you guys think?

I want to try out skiing in new places in North America, anyone got any good recommendations on where is should go or try out?
>>262065Mountain High and Big Bear
>>262065>I want to try out skiing in new places in North AmericaToo expensive and too crowded. Venture capitalists bought out all the big ones and ruined it for everyone. Dont waste your time. There is a good explanation of it on yootube, it was based on the ski patrol strike at Vail as a starting point.
>>262065what kind of skiing do you like?
What's the best belt system out there?
>>262046The difference in population between places screws this up
>>262046You basically described the sambo belt system.
>>262046This but with some minimum population requirement
>>262116>>262121Nah, 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.
>>261247Belts 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"
Imagine being so hated they design infrastructure against you
>>242478honestly it's because of niggerswhen this new ramp opened near my place I was excited and went there often, but it was soon taken over by hood rats who filled the place with trash, graffitti, loud rap and weed smell

>>242478no, skateboarders are fucking faggots who hang with niggers and druggies. They fuck up the look of the area the occupy to skate by putting wax on everything and chipping away at marble/granite grinding on the ledgers. Its fucking expensive to repair. Did i also mention niggers
skateboarding is gayer than ever and that's an incredible feat.
/archery/ Thread #3 /archg/Let's keep this bad boy going!What's your style?What you shooting?What you hitting?Recs for bows?I bought a yumi, oh god, I'm a fucking moron, please help.What you wearing?
what's a basic entry baby bow I can buy online? I'd prefer more of a normal regular bow that's based off my own strength rather than one of these hyper expensive newer crossbows. some basic bows on amazon are around $50, are those okay? i literally just want to get a good bow and fire a bunch of arrows and practice every day with something reliable
>>260079Samick Sage, affordable, good quality hunting recurve.If you're looking for trad trad bows it might be worth it to look around for local bowyers, but you can get decent ones online, some people say it's better to start with a resin bow because they're more forgiving and durable, but I think most people don't have issues learning with most laminates, if you're leaning laminated bow it's best to do your own research, but I can reccomend Grozer bows for trad recurves they're okay. If you're going resin then really any old bow off Aliexpress works fine, you'll want to change later anyways, but again a lot of local bowyers make resin bows so you can get one like that, just don't pay too much for it cause no resin bows worth that much.
Best archer?
>>262011Okay cool I might go with the Samick Sage then just to make things easy since I have zero knowledge. A few questions:>Advice on draw strength?The listing on Amazon goes from 25-60lb. Honestly, I'm a lanklet and I have long arms so I think a heavier draw would benefit me in the long run.>What else to buy with it? A wrist guard for sure. And what kind of arrows?Yeah man I was looking around at bows and all these composite bows seem way too fancy, like they do the work for you. What's the point? Learning archery has just been an idea in the back of my head for a long while.
>>262064nta, samick sage is greatSince you are newfag you should just get a 25-30lb bow so you can shoot as much as you want and focus on working on your form and techinque, then you can buy heavier limbs in the future once you know what you are doing and that you like it. Don't be a retard who goes for a 45+ lb bow as his first one and fucks up his form and gets pointless injuries.As for the arrows you should read about draw length and arrow spines so you understand how to choose arrows for yourself and once you know what to look for just get some cheap carbon arrows that fit your bow.

>>261161I currently skate FR but I'm on some UFS AP boots. I am still in the process of breaking the skates in but it's the lightest pair I've ever owned. I came from some razor skates that were heavy as day.The liner matters a lot more than then boot honestly.
lets say your walking down the street and u bump into a guy. one things leads into another your granted a fair 1v1 no weapons only limbs. (kicks and whatnot allowed) but you cant back out. what kind of clothing would be best? would you regular street wear help you? i usally wear a nike tech fleece very breathable and moveable material and typical sneakers. only thing that might through me off is if im wearing some jeans that day. i think perfect fighting outfit would be a good sports tracksuit like the nike tech suit and some sort of sneaker that u can grip the floor in and kick with but thats not too limiting. on the foot

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.
>>261550You're probably very stiff, unbalanced and exerting mad amounts of energy like every white belt. You'll notice higher belts are relaxed until the moment they have to throw and then they explode.
>>261550Im a skinny fuck and a yellow belt and have landed some throws. Being skinny doesnt help at all but my technique is getting better. This shit takes time man but you'll eventually get the hang of it. Good luck landing osoto gari tho. That throw is impossible to land if youre a newbie cause its so easy to counter
>>261627It's easy to counter because it doesn't work without kizushiBut all throws don't work without kizushi
>>261550Bruh 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.
>>261550If 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.

I'm a lightweight, (1.78m, 60kg), i've been going to judo for some months now, I'm liking it a lot, but, is it comparable/better to wrestling? Especially for a guy my size, I always thought wrestling would be useless as from what I know, it uses a lot of raw strength, while judo (though it still uses strength) is better suited for taking down heavier/stronger people. Is this right? Should I try doing some wrestling? I find judo very good but also sometimes limited by the sport
>>257870>The only common opinion I tend to see is that it's pretty funSounds to me like that is the most important factor in being consistent in any martial art. I tried Judo myself and thought it was fun as shit, but I didn't stick with it because of the fear of getting injured by a partner I couldn't trust. I should get back in there and try again.
>>236726This guy is correct. All grappling relies on knowledge of fundamental human biomechanics and the laws of physics. The only major difference among the grappling styles are the uniform and the rules etc, but there are more similarities than differences. If you are a good grappler, you will be decent in any other grappling style, and only a short familiarization period away from being good again. Training the style you like the most, and dabbling in other styles whenever you get a chance is the best choice.
>>242810I eagerly await the day when you ragequit mma after a few classes, as you did judo and freestyle, and then endlessly spam the board about how mma doesn't work.
>>242810You strip down to your underwear in a real fight? >>242810Hips back and sprawling negates lot of wrestling at an intermediate level.>>242810Not that long lmao, it's just harder to do against a resisting opponent that is also training the same martial art. BJJ people get btfo'd by yellow belts in standup.
>>243798You do know where bjj gets most of it's techniques from you 0 iq. Most places do newaza aka ground game probably 20% of the class. Lots of competitive Judo people crosstrain just to get better at it with bjj. A judo black belt is equivalent to a blue belt and can't compete with bjj white belts.
