>>204987Do you guys have suggestions on exercises to loosen up the shoulders?I see it as one of my big pitfalls, it’s pretty evident, especially during kirikaeshi
>>272703Ironically more kirikaeshi.One tip that helped me in the beginning was imagining my arms were being pulled up by a puppet string. No muscle needed at all.
>>272703I've been struggling with this too recently. Gotta use more of my core when doing fumikomi. Tensing the abs more along with shibori helps redirect the tension that would otherwise go to the shoulder, for me.
>>272784>kirikaeshiWhat is kirikaeshi in JSA? In the other JSA (Japanese Sumo Association), it's a leg trip.
>joints hurtyour response?
>>265609fuck off peat larper
>>248053Glucosamine Chondroitin. It isn't cheap, but it's specifically for joints
Recently have been using Gaultheria oil for muscle pains. It's as effective as tiger balm but smells less.
a bag of cold peas
>>248053My personal advice: don't take pain relief for sports injuries. You need to keep training and rehabbing and know EXACTLY what triggers pain and how much you can tolerate, and if you numb it out or whatever then you're not going to be able to rehab it properly. And yes that applies to, say, going to the grocery store and lifting groceries on an injury, you always need to know what your body is doing.

>>273266There are good skateparks, in some spots you won't get kicked (rare) and it's hard to cruise around since it's kinda disrespectful. Locals are chill, A LOT of the people skating are older guys, usually with someone younger under their wings.A cop will probably educate you on this.t. "haha what if I skated in harajuku"
>>273289>usually with someone younger under their wings.>tfw will never have a skate mentor
>>273226Be honest, for how much of the rotation are all 4 wheels sliding on the ground? Anything under 90 degrees is unacceptable imo, and I say this as someone who sucks at them. I’m holding you accountable because I love you and only want the best for you, anon.
>>273292I’ll be honest, most of the oldheads I know are nice but retarded. They might hold themselves to a higher standard than a lot of younger skaters (touching the ground is a redo, no mongo pushing, no mall grabbing, etc.), but then they’ll also have really outdated opinions on dumb shit like taking the shields off your bearings>b-but it lets the dirt escape!You’re also letting all the dirt get in in the first place, fuckwit

At the start of august I quit the gym because it was boring and it made me feel like even more of a depressed wage cuck, I had been going to the gym for like 5 years more or less, with much transformation (I was very scrawny and thin, almost anorexic) and I liked being buff even though I'm still kinda thin-buff. Now I'm doing muay thai 3x a week, I have no machines at home nor weights, but I want to keep a decent physique, what should I do? Also should I keep eating like a pig and take mass gainer?
Gains are always good - besides the stomach.If you'd be able to burpee yourself into a big guy with just a six-pack... Then at least you have a girlfriend.When You get bored work on push ups, just like You would in the military.Arms, chest and stomach. That makes a man decent.In reality, what you need is the thing that you put in the door, you can hang from.And there you train pull-ups, and hang from it to ease your back (skeleton).>That said.It all is just a prelude to the actual strength that is in the hand. Not in arms or back, or legs or stomach. Wrist, forearm, thumb and arm wrestling exercises.and in that kind of thing you just need a belt or something to attach to your hand on one end, and any weight or even books on the other. Ready? Bang.The best exercise is to get friends, or enemies or strong girlfriend or whatever and armwrestle 24/7 different styles. Not just a strenght training but endurance and intelligence as well. Helps with establishing hierarchy in society. That said. Push ups and burpees.Push ups for yourself. Burpees for the lady.

>>270650Well yeah, a smallsword is just a conveniently small rapier really. I think they're cool the same way James Bond's Walther PPK is cool; it's not the biggest gun you could carry, but it's the minimum size tool for the job. The ultralighting of dueling.
>>271727>Alot of the dudes competing in this also seems out of shape compared to other athletesThere's some guys at my club who are fit and lift weights to be stronger for HEMA, but it's such a niche interest still that you can compete even with low fitness. That's not so much that the competitions don't require fitness, they absolutely do, there just aren't enough people taking it seriously enough that they squeeze out the amateurs. If you are buff and want to be the best at something it's a great thing to get into right now because of that. You can be a weekend warrior of moderate fitness and shoot right to the top of competitors if you have the skills.

Does /xs/ prefer step or strap on bindings? Do step ons work in deep powder?
>>272335>God damn you guys are fucked in all directions in the US.pretty much for the price of a season pass, you can go live in japan and ski for 3 months
>>272336When I looked at Ikon/Epic/Indy, it wasn't very surprising to see resorts in Hakuba and Niseko also participating given the amount of foreign tourists they get.Every year, more and more ski resorts close. This includes "resorts" with just a single pair lift and one or two slopes, so it doesn't sound as dire. Still, doesn't change the fact that there are fewer and fewer resorts each year.I wonder if at some point, some fuck face is gonna do a Vail, purchase what's left, and start fucking everyone sideways.
>>272323Do you just get to go where ever you want on these alpine resorts? Or is the risk of running into a crevice too high?
>>272328Indy pass Chad here. When do we get our physical passes in the mail? Also if usps fucks up and it gets lost how do I even use it at the resort? Usually I just get a season pass at my local but I’m kinda burnt out on riding the same mountain and wanted to drive around to a couple resorts this season instead
The Kessler looks so beautiful. Makes me wish I got the brushed finish on the Korua too, or just sell it and get the Dart Plus for a full BLACKED setup.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=Q1i1xBt9QKYI will explain to you how to win any fight you can think of. mma, ju jitsu, boxing, any 1v1 fights in a metal cage. You pick whatever traditional irl face to face fight in a cage you want and this method will work.The solution will always be the same. I saw a YouTube video of a woman “submitting” and “winning” against a male “marine” in ju jitsu. They were trying to portray her as a strong and skilled woman, but what does that mean? An intelligent human being would be able to solve any problems. That kind of a human would be able to survive no matter what kind of difficult situations she faces. How would you then go up against somebody who is so good at “fighting”? It’s very simple, but we first need to understand what ju jitsu is supposed to be in their delusional minds.You imagine this thing called a “sport” and you imagine a type of “sport” called “ju jitsu”. You imagine that it actually has some kind of a meaning. Then you imagine that these two people can only grab each other in certain ways and move in certain directions because there are rules like no dropping her on her head or stomping on her throat. Then you imagine that the triangle choke can only be finished like this and the armbar or the rear naked choke or whatever the fuck they imagine those made up positions are supposed to be can only do this and that. Then if the guy taps, the fight is over in your mentally ill head. It’s a game for mentally ill people.That should be clear. How could you then possibly win against a woman who can beat a man? You obviously come prepared. You come with knife or gun or whatever you want.You hide it, obviously, because you’re actually clever. Before the fight starts you distract her with something that makes her turn around and look away from you for a few seconds like pointing at the cage door or asking the referee a question, then pull out your gun or knife and shoot or stab her.
>>272406Yes they can lol that's why youre so triggered
>>272436A gorilla and lion can beat up every single mma, boxing, judo and other fighting sports champion humans are smart and use weapons retarded humans are unarmed and practice fighting unarmed and shaking hands and following made up rules
>>272454They can still beat you up though
>>272454do you not know that weapons training included unarmed fighting historically or something? back in the day when they still used melee weapons this was considered absolutely essential.so how about instead of fantasizing about beating black belts with an underhanded knife technique you did in front of the mirror you train some too so you're not a useless obese sack of shit that's all talk?
>>272454Sorry pencilneck, in real like the grappler gets to control the weapon, which is why unarmed combat has been part of the curriculum of nearly every serious weapon-using military since antiquity.
/xs/! What is best in life?
running big days in the mountains, smiling and feeling the alpine air in my hair. seeing that bright summer sun lighting up the wildflowers. grabbing onto solid rock and scrambling your way across a ridge and up a summit, and being scared but still in control. skiiing down the fine scree on the other side, and watching hundreds of meters pass by in minutes. seeing that far valley floor, with the hemlocks and the cedars and the lake at the basin grow closer and closer, and knowing there's snacks at the car at the trailhead and theres friends you haven't made yet at the hostel or parking lot... thinking about the fire you'll have that night, and the tea youll have in your hands, and wondering who will be there beside you.

Hi anons, I just watched the f1 movie from apple. Just wanted to ask, is the f1 really that hightech? Like I can‘t imagine all the stuff that these guys were using and it honestly suprised me.
>>88443This one makes me so sad. It was his third race. He was so happy when he finally got in f1 that he handed out pin badges with his helmet on it to supporters. He is buried with a small replica of his helmet and with the phrase "he lived for his dream".

>>203687Most properly trained gun owners are able to pull out their gun in less than a second and a half.
>>216766you could argue that you cannot realistically defend yourself, evade or deescalate the situation with your own physical power and with CS spray and must use lethal methods to neutralize the danger that is headed to murder youI always carry CS spray since I don't have to call the police, or at least that's what I know; I wouldn't call them anyway because the legal haslle is not worth jailing some retard for only 3 months to then later actively target me for "taking away his liberties", unless it was a mugging/murder attempt and not some roided up retard that didn't get his dino nuggets becoming physically aggressive because his girlfriend mommy wasn't present to control him like a doberman.
