I almost know that feel I almost hit my sensei in men when we were just doing our kirikaeshi and instead of going the usual right I went left since my brain dropped the ball completely. I stopped right before it just seeing the look of my sensei just crumpled me into a tissue.

>pre-war kendo allowed strikes during sonkyo
fuuuuark. I wish I could punish people for not taking sonkyo seriously.

Ok, I'll be the brave soul and say what everyone else is thinking.
I wish I could use the korean velcro hakama.

did my first ever tournament in kyuu, managed to snatch one win (even if the third guy forfeited) and could've almost done one more.
all in all it was fun while it lasted, but showed i'm still lacking a lot physically but also mentally. i was quite lucky today.

Tournaments are really important to highlight weak areas in your technique and spirit.
I hope you had a friend record your shiai so you can see for yourself the parts that don’t work from an outside prospective.
Anyway, nicely done the first tournament is something that you won’t forget.

Parkour is the French martial art of running away as quickly as possible

the safe answer is by training plyometrics, lifting, crosstraining calisthenics and the like. the real answer is we just send it. don't forget that half of the athletes in our sport are too young to vote, and the other half suffer the consequences of our previous training habits. there shouldn't be anyone under the age of 25 who's had an acl surgery but i personally know at least two, due entirely to an injury sustained from either parkour or tricking and if i were a little bit more retarded, i'd also need one.

I'm been having a great time. I went out three times so far. Not being able to ride the trails in the winter sorta sucks. Maybe next year we'll try skiing..

I need to tune my MTB suspension. I'm getting a lot of pedal strikes..

It was kinda junk. Just shitty mtb buying info. Considering we just went the whole winter and part of spring with no thread we could stand to get some newbies asking the same questions.

Also hello from Sedona, my dad and I are on a trip here. I was not prepared for the desert. I drank the 2 liters of water I brought and got sunburnt.
Tech is pretty fun. Lots of exposure on the tech sections which makes them difficult mentally. But we're just chilling on the blues.

>I need to tune my MTB suspension. I'm getting a lot of pedal strikes..
On the same boat but with several down tube strikes with rocks. Waited a month to get the Vivid tune kit delivered to me. Its mostly rebound speed which is too low. I'll switch from R25(progressive) to R53(linear) to speed thing up and lower the compression from C34 to either C30/26. On the zeb I'll just put a go with the light rebound and burnishing the lowers. I just need to mechanic to answer me back, mf left me on delivered and my suspension feels like crap

>>261140
Oh in terms pf suspension tuning, I was just gonna set the set the air pressure to my weight. I ordered the special shock pump that goes to like 250 psi.


I've noticed may rear shock is weeping a little oil. I'm uncertain how big of a problem that is

Just getting back into fencing after a long injury, unrelated. The injured part is fine but I'm a fat fuck and get tired way too easily. Feels good to be back, and my club is doing a bit of slow bloss with no gear, which is nice to ease back in with.

Does anybody still make those "Musketeer" doublewide epee blades? Seems like it was associated with that Ukrainian smith that is obviously not doing as much business as before and everyone else is sold out.

Also, is training smallsword gay?

>>261319
>Also, is training smallsword gay?
Not really. If you're doing it exactly like Olympic fencing, then maybe. But if you're doing it in a way that would be closer to HEMA, then it's not gay. Look up smallsword tournament footage on youtube and see what works and what doesn't for you.

I'm looking for a manual on mid 19th century American spadroon. I had it before but lost it when the hard drive died. I remember this particular one called the sword an espadona

>>261080
In Meyer's dussack, there is no overstepping, only cowards. You're probably right about stepping too shallow in the realignments though, the ones done with both feet are hard to learn to correct timing with the sword.

this fat retard had a competitive back and forth with a fucking midget because he had no opportunities to engage in grappling.

Sean beat him by having okay defense and being patient enough to not give him easy takedowns. He was just lucky.

Only dorks complain about sports. The traditional martial artists in history were also competing against each other. Pressure testing is necessary for improvement.

>>259715
traditions are perpetually becoming sports

Tradition to me implies an unbroken lineage which is not what we have today in martial arts or things like HEMA.
All the Chinese stuff is basically made up (did you know all these "ancient" kung fu styles post-date Queensberry rules boxing?). HEMA is just dweebs with pony tails trying their best to recreate things from books, but it's preposterous to pretend that these dweebs are somehow in the same continuum as a guy that was getting into actual sword fights 16th century Venice or whatever.
Sports are ultimately also much more effective manifestations of whatever art they're based on because they actually compete and engage in the thing they're teaching (albeit in simulated ways).
Any Olympic style fencer that tries HEMA ends up destroying everybody because of superior fundamentals like foot work and distance management (let's not even talk about sports combat vs kung fu guys, we all know how that goes).
Culture clashing in reality is a common theme throughout humanity, and in the end it's always reality that wins out. How you feel about that is up to you.

Stupid unrealistic shit. Both would get slaughtered.

A swordsman with no shield gets slaughtered by a spearman with no shield 99% of the time.

A swordsman or a spearman with no shield gets slaughtered by anyone with a bow or just darts. Every Roman soldier carried with him a bunch of darts for this reason.

Is the debate between sport vs “tradition” or do you mean something like sport vs “martial art”.
Any sport can be a tradition. Even if you believe kendo is a sport, it’s still a tradition. Just because something is traditional doesn’t make it more realistic or whatever.
Arguably, HEMA is less of a tradition than kendo, as it is a reconstructed art. But I guess that depends on your idea of tradition.

its just fact man riding a jetski once causes minor but permanent CTE

>>258721
Sure dude

Maybe blinking too much? Somebody giving you a jumpscare?

All the uproar about boxing deaths is based on emotionalism rather than rational reasoning. People have crunched the numbers, and there have been less than 500 fatalities since the 1950's, and that's out of millions of bouts. A disproportionate numbers are also from before 1983, which is when they tightened up a lot of safety regulations. Since 2000 there's about 1-2 fatalities per year, on average. Being a pizza delivery driver is probably more dangerous than being a boxer.
Two fighters dying on the same card is a complete freak statistical anomaly, and as unfortunate as it is, it's not really representative of anything.
It doesn't even relate to sparring, anyway. Dying from subdermal hematoma because you got walloped for 12 rounds straight by a pro boxer is a completely different ball game than playing patty cake at 30% intensity at your local gym Muay Thai gym.
Also if you want a real redpill, the clinical evidence we have for CTE even existing in the first place is very poor, let alone its prevalence.
