what i want to say is, people will get in your face without intention to fight, and if you stand your ground you will probably come into elbow striking range and where normal punches are either not doable or impossible to do (close range again)
and since elbows and knees are some of the hardest points on our bodies id say train your elbows..
>>
>>213911
Don't let people get into your face, use your lead hand straightened out about their chest level to keep your distance. You can block the rear hand with the half long guard. You can step in and crack their jaw with your elbow too if you want to be the aggressor

HEMA stands for Historical European Martial Arts, sometimes also called Historical Fencing.
It's reconstructing how to fight with swords, daggers, polearms, and other weapons based on old European fighting treatises

My club literally has no tisming of this kind, people play warhams and elfgame in their free time but don't sperg about it and you're more likely to hear a convo about cars than 40k or an Imgur meme, let alone Tumblr.

But my town is big enough it also contains a chuuni club, and a club of tourneyfags who seethe beyond measure at the idea of learning any historical technique or anything at all that won't give them immediate percentage in their bouts (both of these are splits from our older club, the trash taking itself out). So ours is the one non-retarded club.
>>
>>215825
>about 70 percent of them are tistic
I go to a very big (by HEMA standards) North American school. I'd say your ratio is about the same I'm seeing with a sample size of over 100, split between archery, longsword, and rapier classes. Also been in and out since 2013, so have a time spread. Definitely more athletic and less strictly nerdy people than I remember when I first got into all this.
>>
>>207668
Court shoes in general are what you want. You're making rapid movements in diff directions and you won't damage the floor. So Asics are popular.

Barefoot or no sole is mostly for emulating historical shoes.

Boxing shoes/wrestling shoes are kind of the opposite of what you want as they are for stability and not designed for most hardwood court floors where hema takes place. But if you're a grapply boi then go for it and fuck the floors.

The real important thing is to get what matches your drip.
I have a pair of sambas, but I don't wear them for Hema.

If you have problems rolling your ankles, then you might want something with ankle stability. So your basketball court shoes might be more your option.
Or strengthen your ankles. Up to you.

At a club that big at least 70% sperglords gives you 30 sensible people to potentially hang out with, that's a mid-size club's worth. Anon would probably be satisfied with that since it means you can just stay in your normie cocoon and not interact witht he fuckups, raw numbers really do solve some things.

learn to fight and buy a gun and everything else that you can and by more guns and various weapons. Be as bad as you can be, learn how to hack, learn human anatomy so you will know all the vital arteries and organs to attack. Learn how to throw a baseball acurately, how to throw a knife, how to shoot a bow and arrow. how to shoot a pistol, how to use a sniper rifle, how to fly a god damn helicopter. Star jogging, running, sprinting, swimming. sky diving. Get in tip top shape and try out for US Navy Spec Ops.

Will teach you how not fall headfirst onto concrete or fall in a fucked up way and be unable to run away
Kickboxing also will show you the perils of changing level into someone smacking you in the face

not OP but I will also ask: I have been a retard for a long while. I had a basic\good base on kickboxing and boxing, but I stopped going to the gym because it wasn't "hard enough" and spent months practicing punches, kicks, etc against those iron poles or metal equipment at public park, trees, hitting myself with dumbbells or even barbells, etc ,and just sprinting\ doing random but tiring shit with my home gym weights.
Now I came to realize : life ISN'T about headbutting s dumbell for reps ..I sincerely want to learn an Art (of fighting now) so:
> what coordination ,hand-eye drills are good and where can I get a book about them?\ youtube channels, etc?
>what sparring regime is advice for a non-pro, frequency, agreed-upon level of harshness, etc?
>what equipment MUST a gym have? tear drop bag, banana bag etc
>Should I learn no-gi BJJ ,and K-1? I want to acquire real fitness, agility, dynamic power and body-smarts.
(I will move to another City so I won't be returning to the gym I went to. I think they don't give the classes anymore even)

Hey guys,

Started doing judo a couple of months ago, I know the throws from doing traditional ju jitsu but I'm struggling with the timing and kuzushi. How do I practice that? In particular kuzushi. Thanks
19 replies and 1 image omitted. Click here to view.
>>
>>196316
Everyone will struggle with timing in the beginning. They're trying to figure out the right situation for a throw they've only drilled
Eventually things move to the grip fight and flowcharts. You need certain grips and feints to execute certain sequences and techniques
In time, kuzushi becomes active. You move and interrupt the opponent, striking when they stop, resist or stumble
>>
>>197579
It depends on what you want out of it. Despite what 4chan would have you believe about judo, it's not just this giga self-defense art. I think it's overhyped by the uninformed, in fact. More often than not it's a sport to do Olympic-style competition. But more than just a combat sport, it can also be practiced such that accuracy to the kata with an uke is what is judged. I personally like to do competition in service of understanding the moves better so I can be like a lore-keeper. I want a story from personal experience, competition-based, professional grappling, or MMA for each move. That's what makes me happy.

If you're a beginner and you mean to spar, it is entirely reasonable to wait a month or two before you start getting thrown. You should make that intention known so they can tell you if you're barking up the wrong tree or if you just need to wait.
>>
>>196316
Just practicing, and always being mindful of positioning, especially during training/drills, underestimating form is the biggest factor in both jj and judo, just don't, take your time, but do it right, the most proper form you can, then you'll start doing it faster, your form will get crappy, you improve your form, get faster, form gets crappy, improve your form, repeat.

>I think it's overhyped by the uninformed
The uninformed put it on the same level as strip mall karate and your average casual tapout dudebro mma/bjj guy thinks it's total bullshit. The idea that judo is "giga self-defense art" is limited strictly to this board.

Just skate and have fun. You're never too old or fat to skate. Skateboarding is 90% mind 10% body.

Skatepark etiquette: Remember everyone there shares a common interest with you.

I'll start

>Scorpion Rib Crush

This is a variant of do-jime (banned judo technique but legal in BJJ and MMA) where you have an opponent in closed guard and squeeze your knees on their floating ribs.

Here's a video of a WMMA fighter using it to win in Bellator:
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Pel1w2tZYLA

Very hit-or-miss but can either
>do nothing (if they have a strong core)
>break ribs
>fuck up organs (supposedly)

You can hear the opponent yell out and tap immediately

Would replacing Judo, Wrestling, etc., by Mixed Wresling Arts and Mixed Striking Arts be beneficial to the Olympics?

Consider the following:
> circle arena
> out = 2 points
> knockdown/takedown = 3 points
> knockout/submission = 10 points
> 3 3 min rounds
> protection everywhere including head recommended but not obligatory
> first to 10 points, or with more round wins, wins the fight

I think it would be far more interesting if there were very diverse ways of winning points and different styles actually clashed with each other.

This also ends the notion that the Olympics ruins Martial Arts, since there will be no Point Judo, or Point Karate anymore, just Olympic Striking and Olympic Wrestling. As a bonus you could also add an actual MMA tournament with the best of both sides, but following the same rules.
