Does bjj teach you anything useful?
>>220100The number one thing you learn in jiujitsu is that no amount of "i just see red" fuckery is going to get a competent grappler off of you in mount.
>>253964That's only true if you're 5'3
>>220100It seems they teach you many ways to "present yourself" to your opponent in many environments, as to reduce injuries from the repeated, vigorous and certainly consensual, penetrations of said opponent.
>>220100it teaches me everynight that i am a worthless piece of shit with no ability to learn any grappling whatsoever
>>253964I take it you have been mounted often

>>262764>Im brokeLook into the used market. People sell stuff with lots of life left in it for cheap because they upgraded into something else or because they CONSOOOM'd too hard.
>>262824Well, depends on how intricate the sidesword's guard is. Of course something like a hockey glove would be the bare minimum.>>262797Their jackets and pants have an overheating problem. I haven't used them myself but I know people who do and they complain about it all the time. Moreso than the usual SPES AP Standard.>>262833Also the outlet tab on Spes' website.

Do you guys make notes and diagrams for your martial arts and have reference books?I have been thinking about getting the Kodokan book since I won't be doing judo for the foreseeable future and also making notes for my karate and judo.
>>262207Thanks for the advice. I was thinking of getting pic related for my judo and maybe "Best karate" for my Shotokan training or even "Karate-do my way of life".What have you read/recommend?
>>262360I can't give any thoughts on Kano's books but I think Funakoshi's book is a great book for looking into his philosophy and methods on Shotokan pre complete Japanization. From what I've heard Nakayama's Best Karate book series are mainly for fundamentals and the technicality of kata. Most of the reading I've done is for Goju Ryu but I think the concepts that they teach can still be applied to other styles. Iain Abernathy and Lawrence Kane are good if your goal is raw self defence but there are many other good authors as well.
>>262850Is it safe to assume Funakoshi's book deals more with history and philosophy rather than being a "textbook" on pre Japanisation-Shotokan? Either way that seems interesting. Weird question, but, did you feel you were a better karateka after reading the book?
>>262966Pretty much. Most old Karate authors books are like that. Reading the book won't suddenly imbue you with some ancient secret though. In my view books are there to aid you when analyzing or critiquing your Karate. In the end it all falls on you to come to an answer that makes sense and works for you.

Currently training Kyokushin Karate, but out of pure curiosity, which are other styles that can be compared equally as effective for real combat? Not necessarily on da streetz but a competition or hard sparring.This place near me practices shotokan and isshin ryu from what I remember, I looked a Isshin-Ryu competition and it seemed boring ngl, but I've heard of UFC fighters which their base has been Okinawan Styles outside of Kyokushin.Which are your experiences practicing these styles?
>>262918Kudo gl finding it

>>260914Thinking about doing BJJ or AJJ to get into shape and quit alcohol. Good idea yes or no? Here are my stats>26 years old (almost 27)>6’5”>223 pounds >25% body fat >9 INCH COCK (and girthy)Also I want male only classes and less than 10 people if preferred since I hate crowds (I’m autistic). What do you guys think?
>>262479>Thinking about doing BJJ or AJJ to get into shapeJiujitsu is a great workout, but IMHO it's an even better reason to work out. Improving your strength, resilience, and gas tank on the mats could be a great motivator to get in the gym and do your strength, mobility, and conditioning work.>quit alcoholDon't know much about alcoholism/sobriety, but I gotta think that seeking challenge, learning, growth, etc can't hurt.>statsSeems fine, great time to start training. You're about the same bf% I am, we both need to get leaner.>Also I want male only classes and less than 10 people if preferred since I hate crowdsHard to guarantee, but that matches the vibe of a lot of small hardcore gyms. Just get on google maps, find all the jiujitsu gyms in your area, figure out which ones are within driving distance, and start visiting them. They'll have some form of trial period. Take advantage of that and try them all. Don't get pressured into signing up until after you've made the rounds. Then select the gym you like.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>262479>>262603>IMHO it's an even better reason to work out. >quit alcoholthese all kind of play nicely together. i had already been working out for years and was cutting out drinking a lot in the year or two prior to when i started. hangovers were a huge part of it and now im in the gym friday night, saturday morning. dont get hungover. dont want to be hungover. having classes in the evening during the week and doing cardio or lifting in the morning i just dont have time in the week to feel like shit. shifting some of my focus outside the gym to bodyweight exercises and adding regular stretching i feel better now than i ever did before training. the idea that everybody gets hurt or ends up with major injuries is perpetuated by people that treat them like inevitabilities. ive been hurt twice in the gym in years and missed a grand total of a week. jacked up my knee and just gave up sweeps from half guard on that side for two weeks. took myself out for longer as a white belt getting drunk one night and doing stupid shit. havent had more than two or three drinks at a time since. if you find the type of gym youre looking for theyll pull you along quick. just listen to them and train smart

>>257598didnt the russian federation guy say that he did acknowledge alysa's win as legitimate as in he was there and felt her presence or whataever, and he also did say russian athletes were overscored.
>>257598>RussiansRussians are well known for rigging though, it's not even a conspiracy they've been caught doing it repeatedly.That said, while I don't like Alysa that much she's far from being bad. Regardless of your stance just based on her technical output she's in the top of the olympics for this year. You could argue the Japanese girls were better, but honestly I find them pretty tame too.You can say they're overscored, but who in the lower federations are actually putting out something better? There really isn't much competition there.Like I LOVE Isabeau and Kurokova, but they just objectively don't have the technical abilities to win.
I like watching off-ice videos because the girls like to show their feet.
I just went stars on ice recently, and while it was certainly a fun show, it was a bit disappointing. I knew going in it'd be a watered down version of what they normally do, but idk I was just expecting something that'd make me go holy shit. But largely speaking it just felt like a slightly more polished version of what I'd see the older girls at my rink doing. Obviously better, but not to the extent I feel like I'm seeing a hugely different level of skater.It makes sense, but just a tad disappointing for my first real look at this level. Maybe I'll try to hit skate america or something one of these days.

>>124333HAPPY PRIDE MONTH OP!!!It has now been 4 years since the *ahem* incident, so the healing process in your rectal region should begin around now. I'm going to be honest, your anal healing journey will be long and arduous, but then again we must remember to have humility and gratitude for the miracle that such profound trauma and rectal devastation can be recovered from at all!
I think the most legendary ones were Tyson (he would need to get out of prison) and Karelin but it's rather obvious that Tyson would lose due to lack of grappling skills. Karelin would be more serious threat to the Gracies because he would toss them around easily but Idk if he would be able to actually end the fight.
>>261711That fight was after UFC 1, here's the 1993 one from before it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLbwAzPOaAM15:30
>>261710>Those guys are the same generation you're talking about from prideThey didn't participate in Pride, did they? Or are you saying those are old retired Pride champions? Cause I don't see Cro Cop nor Don Frye nor Sakuraba in these fucking clips.Also even if you were correct and these were some peak fucking athletes who secretly dominated the hidden tournament in my 90s, again see again my point of "just because Mike Tyson now fights like a geriatric now does not mean he was never a good fighter" you fucking idiot. But even then, they aren't, these are some random old dudes, unless one of these is a Gracie, but again, they've all been fraud checked in Pride by Sakuraba. Also what part of most BJJ practitioners being frauds do you not understand? Hell, the UFC is awful now because it's dominated by BJJfaggots and shitty mediocre Kickboxers, the latter of whom would easily be mogged by Andy Hug if he were still alive, or even Nicholas Pettas. >Back in those days everyone was equally bad at fighting so they looked impressiveYour proof is...a bunch of old BJJ geriatric practitioners? (With no context as to whether or not they are actual veterans or just a bunch of old dudes that started recently)Jesus christ, no wonder the stereotype of modern UFC fans being braindead still rings fucking true.
Jon Jones>>261726>the UFC is dominated by frauds and shitty fightersebin. how are they dominating if they dont know how to fight?
>>261711He's a big fat phoney just like all the resthttps://youtube.com/shorts/wq2-tRa61qk?si=Hm53LcbucUtbvBkk
>>261870>ebin. how are they dominating if they dont know how to fight?First of all, nice misquote of what I said. You know what I said was more nuanced than that. Secondly, the problem is Dana White's low payments and the UFC's low standards.Look at Rizin, Pride or even Kickboxing places like ONE or K-1. They all have professional well-paid fighters, most of which are diverse in their styles and systems as well. Dana White pays his fighters peanuts, as such desperate tattooed low-income men who speedrun their skills get in to get some sort of quick buck. Sure there's a few great fighters here and there. But the majority of fighters that get into the UFC nowadays are just very meh. This should be obvious to anyone who actually watches shit other than the UFC.

Currently shopping for a dirt bike and have around 6k saved, 5'10 165 pounds, live in Arizona so I can find plenty of trails. Only riding experience I have is learning on a KX100 used for enduro and general trail fuckery and bought a crf250r before it blew up. Should have replaced the oil control rings as my buddy told me but live and learn. Both bikes are across the country so those are off the table.I can also fabricate custom parts such as racks, bash plates, crash guards so if any mods need to be made then so be it.I have learned clutch control and can hit small jumps but haven't learned to pop wheelies, whips, or any crazy shit. I can manage a 250 just fine but I am rusty as I haven't ridden in almost 2 years. I will mainly do trail riding with some occasional high speed riding. Here are my options:>Buddy who lives in SoCal 5 hours away is selling a 2018 FX350 with low engine hours for $5k since he can't ride anymore after a crash. My main concern is the rebuild costs and intervals.>Go on facebook marketplace and find a 250 in good shape with some money left over for mods, repairs and tools>buy a new klx230r from a dealership but risk getting raped with taxes and fees tacked onWhat do you guys think?
