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?
>>241431NTA, but Nimrod was a mighty hunter. The guy you are responding to is just an imbecile.
Eskrima/Kali/Arnis is an obvious answer. Knife and telescopic batons are extremely easy to carry on you. Kendo and some HEMA that deals with two handed weapons is also reasonable. You can buy many variants of reinforced "self-defence" umbrella on the internet. It is like carrying a lighter baseball bat with you.

>>200580Get yourself one of these. It is basically punching, but with a knife. It allows you to apply more force, it is concealable, and all your regular martial arts skills translate.
>>242154push blades/punch blades are effective but are illegal almost everywhere. If OP lives in a place where guns are illegal, then chances are that these knives are too.>double edge.>considered a dagger/combat knife rather than a tool.May I suggest an inferior but legal alternative? Picrel

ITT: We take a non-extreme sport and change it to make it extreme.Marathon but you can sabotage your opponents any way you want. Weapons allowed. Basically the Road Rash game but on foot.Dodgeball with bocce.Polo but with rodeo horses.Water polo but the water is slightly acidic so your skin and eyes start to burn after a while and you can only get out (rotating with other team members) once you score.Any motor sport but without brakes.Soccer with bowling balls.Squash but the room is so narrow and you can get hit by the other player's racket.Comment too long.

Is anybody here into breaking or other similar dance styles? What's your training routine like?
Raygun was the best thing that happened to this sport
>>241667Interesting choice. Can't say I'm experienced with disco so I don't have any great examples on me right now. But you could definitely search for like, 70s dance footage or something like "disco funk coreography / dance moves" and find some relevant stuff. I found this while searching right now and it looks pretty good for starters, imo.https://www.youtube.com/shorts/idA4JNP5CgMTry to get a feeling of these guys' moves. Then try to reproduce them. And then go on from there and improvise a little. And then when you need more visual reference, watch more video.
>>241563I'm not christian i pray to myself :3c
>>241565I've never thought about it so clearly, it sounds a bit defeatist but i guess in my situation and for you you'd be right. Strange that you havent found any dancebuddy yet because in my 3 years of posery i've had like 2 who i still keep in touch with, one i met at dancing classes and the other on a famous dancing spot, maybe you should check those out your city?
>>242007Nah, it's not strange at all. First of all most of the "dance classes" I could find here are aimed at literal children and teenagers. And even if they weren't, I just consider this whole dance class thing very faggy and fake. I have a very specific and autistic vision of what dancing should be (at least for breaking in particular). It's the type of shit you should be training in some garage alone or with some sort of makeshift crew (while occasionally yelling at eachother), up until like 2am and then maybe cracking a few beers open. Should feel a bit grimy and rough around the edges, a bit sporadic. That's what makes the whole process feel authentic and unfiltered. Paying some guy to "teach" me dance moves through his carefully curated lessons over the course of a few weeks, surrounded by other clumsy chumps feels so sanitized and corporatized. There's no charm to it. As for "dance spots", there are none. Not in my city at least. I live in the balkans, there just isn't a culture for this sort of thing here. I'm pretty much an outlier in terms of my obsession with this dancing shit. I'm sure there are at least a few others ( in this country) who have a passion for this sort of thing, but they most likely keep it to themselves, just like i'm doing lol. So there's not chance of intersecting whatsoever. Again, not exactly bothered by this fact, since i'm not actively seeking out people in the first place. But hypothetically, it would be an interesting experience to practice with someone like that.
How can I prepare for college wrestling? I did jiu jitsu for a bit in high school but I stopped grappling about a year ago when I got a job. My grandpa is an old school state cop who will basically disown me if I don't do good in my first competition.
>>241879The best way to get good at wrestling is to wrestle. You can train attributes, like strength, speed, flexibility, etc. which will help you, but any wrestler worth their salt will also be strong and fast and flexibile. A good starting point is to get an old heavybag or a sandbag close to the size/weight of a person. Practice picking up the bag from the ground up to your shoulders and then slam it back down. Once you get good, you can practice some throws or some variations of finishing takedowns. What style of wrestling? If it's not greco then get comfortable with being strong and stable at different levels. Really all of that is shite compared to just wrestling other people though
>>241879Learn how to condition yourself like Karl Gotch.
The deadly strike against the carotid.
I'm not sure if brachial stuns are real but I'm not willing to test it to find out
>>241972The deadly strike under the nose.BTW , WW2 soldiers didn't spend years training for these moves like modern martial arts. The whole course was only 10 hours.
>>241975They are. The neck is more vulnerable than the skull, and that's why it's off limits in most combat sports. You can see the impact a roundhouse kick has on an opponent when it lands on the neck, and sumo wrestlers will slap the shit out of the side of the neck of their opponents from time to time, allowing them to follow up with another technique.
I used to do boxing in high school (3 years). I'm now 36. Thinking of starting karate. Which type is good?Should I do shotakon karate? Or I have an ashihabara karate school right next to my house, it seems the best for me.(I already did TKD (Taekwondo not Total Kike Death) and Muay Thai and I didn't like it much but ashihabara karate seems cool and more useful from videos)Before I start, I wanted to get a bit more /fit/, so I lost a lot of weight, got down to 77 kg from 88, I'm 187 cm. Still no visible abs but I think I should be good to go
What's the best martial art for an ugly bastard like me?
>>237970Have you done BJJ, Uglybastard-kun?
>>237975I just checked what it is and it's:>Kinda gay>Kinda rapey>BrazilianIt's perfect. Some guy's girlfriend can never resist my mindbreaking ntr skils.
>>237608honestly at this age look into muay thai, bjj, or MMAthe target demographic is more skewed towards adults and you get into the action faster
>>237608couldn't that fetish OF harlot at least get an ACTUAL gi and not a bath towel?
Any of you fags go caving?
>>230886nutsack buttsack cave?

No, but sounds interesting. Any recommendations?
Too mainstream. I'm pioneering cave wingsuit descent, and it's going to be big.
>>241844You'll definitely be a big hit
I am not good at snowboarding, nor do i have gear for my own (apart from a SMITH helmet and goggles i got from a friend) , does anyone have any recommendations for all-mountain boards and/or advice on how to get better at the sport itself (i have trouble keeping balanced when im going fast)

>>241529You should really try boots on in person Also thermo molding is worth it
>>241529have you tried the hps boards before? everyone i've talked to says they're really soft, like taco soft
>>241534>try boots on in personThis. Got to make sure they're a good fit or you'll want to murder people.
>>241529>>241534>>241747I can't count the amount of times I see people selling basically brand new boots because they bought them online and realised they were too big/didn't match the profile of their foot.You can buy everything else online but go support your local and buy boots in store Ask to do a shell check or do it yourself while you're there>Pull the liner out of the shell>Stick your foot inside the shell and slide up until you can just feel the front>Look at the space in between the back of your heel and the shell>You want somewhere between a centimetre to an inch of space back thereOh and aftermarket insoles made so much difference to the comfort and overall riding that I feel stupid for not getting them earlier so definitely recommend picking up a pair if you can.

>>212412I slid out of a carve in my work parking lot in my slacks and skinned about 3 square inches off the side of my ass. Didn't even seem like that bad of a fall but I may as well have been naked. I ordered HC Evo for a new setup. was a bitch finding them for sale which makes me wondering if they're clearing out stock for a new model. Or maybe they're in between production runs idk.

>>225519/threadThis is pretty clear at this point. Yes there has been studies that have shown the brain can recover from the effects of "hard sparring" over the next 24 hours, however, we also know that brain damage is cumulative. Just because your brain can recover once, doesn't mean it will recover always. Permanent impairment from this shit is a matter of (frequency×intensity)÷skill. It's ironic many people support hard sparring for the "getting hit" conditioning, because you should be learning avoidance more than anything.>avoiding>parry>block>getting hitIf sparring is conditioning you for getting hit, you're sparring wrong.
>>225519Combat sports are generally bad for your health. Even BJJ will ruin your ears and most likely give you some kind of long-term knee issue. Only do it if you love it. Otherwise stick to weightlifting and running.
>>225789Did you stop training in boxing completely after that?I’m kinda looking to do the same thing with boxing and wrestling and probably only doing a small number of amateur bouts in boxing to prove it to myself that I can do it.
>>241104Yeah I stopped training, unless you count hitting the bag once in a while "still training"To be honest I miss it and I felt really confident and happy with life when I was training with the intention to fight, which is why I am looking to get back into another martial art now. I wish I went into another art after like a year instead of wasting years of my life not training anything
>>225417you have to accept there's some degree of getting hit/damage, its a extreme sportthat being said it shoulden't be "excessive or unessicary" are they going so hard that you are/will feel dizzy or rattled regularly? then its probably not a good gym.
