Parkour thread.

Where are you at with your training? How have you been working around the limits of weather and lockdowns? How much do you apply the utilitarian Hébertist mindset of being strong to be useful to your training routines?

Freerunners can post, too. Maybe even gymnasts and trickers if you don't get your own thread up and running.

How do parkour niggas train to make longer jumps and land without blowing up their knees? Or how do they jump from massive heights like nothing?
Is it because they started young and are still young but their bodies will explode later on?
Obviously they do parkour and that conditions their body but do they have strength training specific to parkour, any general strength training works or what do they do alongside parkour for those jumps.

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.

>What is the Ultimate Self-Defense Championship?
A bit over a year ago, former Aikidoka YouTuber Rokas Leo set up a tournament with a self-defense "academy" to have himself and five other martial arts YouTubers compete to see who is best at self-defense. It was a hilarious shitshow that nearly crippled one of the contestants, Ramsey Dewey who would later get into an internet spat with the guy behind the academy (Jeff Phillips) and described the entire event as "piss poor" due to poor management, an incoherent and arbitrary scoring system, running on a very limited schedule, and timing events terribly (like having a zombie apocalypse-themed event that didn't influence score in the middle of the entire thing instead of at the end or something) and doing comically dangerous shit like making people fight on a narrow bridge a good 30ft above the ground.
Somehow, he kickstarted a second one, which features even less martial arts YouTubers.

>it was the one they were hyping up all season so far.
It had potential, but the scenario where the wife sprints away from the contestants to get drugged while everyone in the club bodyblocks the contestant was ridiculous. Also, despite failing the first two challenges, Natan was given the highest score, which was really biased by the judges; he definitely did not perform better than Adrian or Seth.

im looking for ideas for a gambling site,
i think there's opportunity to create something really fun and idiotic for people to gamble on, something that isn't dull like horse racing.
Marble racing is cool but its been done before, claw machines same thing.
With AI you can code things with zero effort, but it doesn't have the human creativity for good concepts.
please give me your suggestions on what cool and fun virtual things you would like to bet on and how the game would function.. e.g race/chance/obstacles..
and if you're interesting in collaborating potentially drop a disc

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

How the fuck have I NEVER seen a consensus around Judo? Is there a more contentious martial art? I don't know who's bullshitting it's all
>I've been doing judo for years and have used it multiple times to protect myself
and
>I've been doing judo for years and the sportification over the years has made it impractical compared to other grappling martial arts. It's better than nothing but most things are.

The only common opinion I tend to see is that it's pretty fun, regardless of which stance one takes on its usability.
>>
>>257870
Both are true. Judo has become overly sportified throughout the years, with every judoka grumbling about it to some degree. But that doesn't mean it's diminished to the point that it's impractical. If anything, we see a lot more judo techniques trickling into MMA/no-gi grappling now than ever before. It's just the loudest critics of judo are the ones who don't do judo or have very little judo experience.

i'm excited for this one. Can anyone stop Shaw?

Leonidas will make the weight ? If he weights less than Brian then he'll probably won't win if I'd bet on it.

It's a 50/50 - Leonidas is a smaller and weaker Brian, (both amateurs with a weightlifting background) but had one match more experience than his counterpart.

I personally am excited for Hutchings vs Petrenko
Will Todd win another title in a heavier weight class?

Would be excited for Devon pounding of that Slavic coward LOLetin but Laratt doesn't train on the party hand so he'll just make that match a preliminary for the right hand - where the real READY-BANG will begin.

I wish all russians/russo-sphere athletes we're banned from the sport. It would reforge it into something we all would enjoy.
Are there any forums for armwrestling discussion ??? Rebbit of course is out of the question.

it depends what you mean, a continuous tradition keeping near the exact same curriculum as when it was founded? A cultural practice that is continuous but changes with each generation, maybe not even with a fixed curriculum? Do reconstructions count?

>Pretty much this. Virtually every single culture in existence has a documented tradition of wrestling, to a greater or lesser degree

And then I would simply defer to the oldest culture. So if Homo Sapiens originated in east Africa, then I would suggest maybe Nuba wrestling? But the thought occurred to me that perhaps there were martial arts before Homo Sapiens...

It's claims to historicity mostly rely on chinese apochrypal texts from the 17th century claiming to be about a man who supposedly lived in the 5~6th century. In all likelihood kalaripayattu as it exists today is only a couple hundred years old at best.

>keeps it fast and ends in time
They can still fit the fights in their respective 15 minute gaps, do one or two 5 round main events (spread them around if you want to fight boredom, make people buy chips and beer all night instead of dropping last minute, and make the last fight feel fresh), and the last fight of the day should last til someone drops or gives up. A proper last stand. At least make it optional for more money and a special BMF title if there's no belt.
Where's the 45 minute fights for a belt? epic slugging each other's tired selves into mush? wuzzes being booed out of the place? where pinning and dragging people on and around the ground is just wasting energy if you get nothing out of it. Where you can jab and teep someone all day and it means nothing unless they go down at some point?
Maybe give a chance to a fucker that just faught that day and wants money, fame and feeling like a warrior. When are we Sakuraba-ing again?
What do they need the place for after the 5 rounders? what would make them more money than dudes going at it at a dick measuring contest? child trafficking conventions?
