So I’ve always had this question: if a fighter in, a physical sport like karate or MMA or something like that would purposely hurt their opponents during a fight or like a sparring match, and if so, how and why would you do it, and would you try to be discrete about it or just do it? Or maybe you just did it once for a specific reason or targeted someone. Whatever the case may be, I’d love to hear your takes on this if y’all have done it or something similar.
>>266049never post again
During light sparring at my full contact karate dojo this semi new (maybe 4 months of training) guy kept trying to side kick my head off, over and over again. And then he went to spar with some other new people and he kept hitting them far too hard for a light spar, so when he came back to me I chose to only target the leg he was side kicking with. Every time he raised it to chamber for the side kick I would kick the back of the raised thigh as hard as possible, I kept doing it and sure enough he got a dead leg. Then as he tried to side kick again, he raised his leg and it gave out, he put it down too fast and somehow broke a bone in his foot with the way he landed. I felt bad because this was about 30 minutes into a two hour session but the instructor, myself, and many others kept asking him to go lighter, especially on the newer people in the dojo, yet he wouldn't so really he deserved it.
>>266049I would always try to hurt everyone at a tournament. I don't know you so you can catch the fade.
Is Dana right?
>>266268>t.
>>266169That's only true in certain professions. I've had plenty of doctors tell me that they're on antidepressants and I've had therapists tell me they they have therapists. Your body is just a machine and there are ways to very easily fix issues with the machine. Ignoring fixing yourself for the sake of masculinity is genuinely unintelligent. I'd you want to take the retarded and difficult route through life because you think it's badass then go for it but intelligent people don't do that.
>>266927Seeking help is different than talking about it publicly or using it as an excuse
I don't know if he's right or not. But it's hard to know if he's trying to be taken seriously or not, because he's basically a meme at this point. Everything he does is part of a carefully curated image to sell his fighting league to impressionable young men. It wouldn't surprise me if it had less to do with his legitimate views and more to do with trying to make money.
>>266927>I've had plenty of doctors tell me that they're on antidepressants and I've had therapists tell me they they have therapistsbecause doctors and therapists are faggots

How extreme is too extreme?
BJJ never recovered from this. The ridiculous specificity of the art was laid bare for all to see. Hope that guy won that comp because he sunk the sport to do it.
>>251262allow strikes specifically when ONE and ONLY ONE player is grounded
>>266624God that'd be hilarious.
>>251262I recognise that move
>>257948Sit in his face and cut one.
If punches below the belt, more specifically punches to the thigh, knee and calf were allowed in Boxing, would they affect the meta at all?Some stances are so wide and heavy that I think a good hook to the side of the knee could fuck someone up. Punching the thigh would only work if done repeatedly, I think. Now calf punches sound absurd lol, but I think in some fights were guys have wildly different frames I think it could be used.
Without being able to perform a takedown, all that would result in is you getting knocked out
>>266599Benson Henderson punched to the thigh a bit. It got his opponent to drop his guard, but I think only out of sheer confusion.

I had a Sci Fi Fantasy team deck that had identical dimensions to the blanks when I put them on top of each other. They also have the BBS dot on the nose side holes

40+ anons. What martial arts do you train? When did you start? Do you train/lift outside of martial arts? I'm looking to get back into judo/boxing but i'm an old fat piece of shit right now. Any suggestions for training smart as an old guy?
>>244482>I'm fat>>>/fit/76077351>>>/fit//fat/>>244561>I should probably lose some weight >>>/fit/76077351>>>/fit//fat/>thx anon, i might look it up. i'm trying to not overload myself with info because that's an endless road to go down.If you're already dealing with training injuries I might suggest either pirating or buying a digital copy and doing a Ctrl+f search for recommendations around that specific injury (it doesn't have everything but it has some of the common ones). I used my digital copy as a reference before buying a physical copy to read outright. Pic related are some excerpts I was discussing with a friend who was struggling to bench with a recurring shoulder injury.>>244578>Judo will teach you how to fall. That's why I would place it before boxingVery solid suggestion. It sounds like OP used to do judo so he should already know how to drill ukemi. Adding this to his daily routine could do a lot towards injury prevention.
>>243996dont roll or spar with someone you wouldnt do acid with
>>244561>5x5 Strongliftslifting weights is not martial arts. MA is for fighting, the training helps with strength and conditioning. As you get older heavy weights are not your friend. Moderate to light lifting and cardio is best. The best cardio is some combo of fighting practice because the older you get the more likely you are to need it, its just statistics. If you need it its always unexpected - gas station, coming out of a store, getting into your car. Carry a knife and spray. Its always better to be prepared instead of being a victim.
Bump
40+. 6 months a year i might train kickboxing karate most days a week. I can have the time to train alot. Summer i don't really like MA so much, mostly climb or do weights pretty much every day. Had a kickbox sess after a few months earlier, performance was pretty good but was sweating hard. Drank a couple of pints of water... im a cold weather fighter who likes to get buffer for summer. My idea of training smart, keep things varied, 3 week cycles to really focus on something in particular. At this age your never going to be the best at anything but theres always something one can do to improve to give some motivation to keep trying
I want to try out skiing in new places in North America, anyone got any good recommendations on where is should go or try out?
>>262065>I want to try out skiing in new places in North AmericaToo expensive and too crowded. Venture capitalists bought out all the big ones and ruined it for everyone. Dont waste your time. There is a good explanation of it on yootube, it was based on the ski patrol strike at Vail as a starting point.
>>262065what kind of skiing do you like?
Trollhaugenimagine skiing anything but park. yikes.

Is in board any freediver/spearfisher constantly doing solo diving? Personally, I don't go more than 7 meters while solo diving. What do you guys do for safety (shallow-water blackout, nets) while soloing, and do you have any recommendations?

Has anyone ever done a Sanda tournament? I’m thinking about signing up for one to get experience. This one is near me and I’ll have been training kickboxing (K1 rules) for about a year by the time it rolls around.
After 2+ years of back and forth with like 5 different doctors, I was finally able to convince one last month to send me for an MRI with contrast which show my wrist is completely fucked. There’s a lot wrong, but the biggest things are that I have a full thickness tear of my scapholunate (the surgeon literally said that it’s “gone”) and a partial tear in my TFCC. I need total reconstruction of the scapholunate and the jury is still out for how significant the tear in the TFCC is which will determine the surgical procedure they use for it. I know my wrist is never going to be the same, but has anyone else dealt with something like this before? I’d love to hear others’ experiences. Thanks!
>>259518Anon, I’ve been seeing this post for weeks and every time I do I am left wondering the same thing: do your socks have sock designs on them?
>>261647kek
>>259518Well after a nice reprieve from bracing, for the last 2 months, I noticed my symptoms started getting worse, so now I’ve been upgraded to this for the rest of the summer and fall until I get surgery, at which point I’ll get to upgrade once again to a cast. Yay…
>>264971How’s the wrist doing now anon? You get surgery yet?
>>266098Nope, surgery still happening in the fall. My wrist is kinda falling apart though and now they’ve got me in a cast.

Hits on arms and legs should result in incapacitation, not death. Would enable nice police/PoW dynamics,
>>264323Yeah, let's add more honour-reliant mechanics in the system that's already full of people who don't honour the few that already exist.
Are there any solid electric pistols? It's for a cosplay thing and I've always found gas stuff to be a huge pain.
>>265012no, they're all absolutely awful. sluggish, skweaky, grindy, horrible little shits. most of them use these silly little mags too.
How fucked am IPosted this on another board before but this one seems better, my apolocheese
>>265661Okay, then you're 8 years behind instead of 10. Still doesn't matter. Again, like I said, you can't imagine the gap there is between an amateur that's been training for a couple years and even a middling journeyman, let alone a world-class contender. If you really want to fight, go train and have your coach set you up with other amateurs around your skill level.
>>265619nah I'd win
>>252538Kickboxing is a dying sport unless you’re doing it for passion. Like fighting for bahts in Thailand .Japan , China and holland are the biggest stages for kickboxing but the money is nothing compared to mma and boxing.Start get active , have fun, if it’s a talent then go for it.Otherwise if ultimately you want the most money as possible for competition then it’s mma or boxing.For now start with what you want and see what you naturally lean to or like.
You are screwed, I knew a guy from high school who started when he was 23. Went 0-2 and retired and is now trying to be a firefighter.Just think about it. Everyone you will face will have started since they were a minor and they will have a DECADE of experience more than you.
>>2663960-2 pro or amateur?
