I just want the assurance that I can defend myself should it come to that INB4 get a gun, I live in Canada so I can't. I'm thinking about joining an MMA gym to do all of it but I don't think I would be able to put in the requisite time for both grappling and striking training while still lifting and doing cardio. If it is possible please tell me because I plan on going to the fighting classes 3-4 times a week, also please give me info on how much to spar including hard sparring, I want to get decent as fast as possible

Good post.
I might qualify "kickboxing" with "preferably muay thai".
And if you've got some more time, I'd recommend a _little_ bit of wrestling, enough to cover the fundamentals even if you won't become good enough to match an actual/practicing wrestler.
A real wrestler is exceedingly unlikely to be attacking anyone without good reason. No need to devote time for that possibility.
But if you're on the ground with a wrong 'un, you'll be a whole lot better off if you have some muscle memory in grappling.

Think something like this starter kit is worth the money? The bow itself is only ~$130-$150 compared to a little over $200 for https://www.amazon.com/Samick-Sage-Takedown-Recurve-Protection/dp/B093MVPQB4?th=1 I've got a pullup bar and I can go back to lifting my regular 40lb dumbbell to build upper body strength easily. Also I've got a yard for over 100ft to work with so I'll probably build a post with a big target and then I have basically unlimited practice time. Of course I want to work on form yeah I've lifted enough in the past to respect form lol
>>
>>263522
Eh personally I wouldn't buy it since 50+ bucks seems a bit overpriced for those items alone but if you don't want to buy all of it separately and have the money to spend then sure, go for it. It's just that for 50+ dollars you could buy a lot more chink arrows which will do the job just fine, also
>I've got a yard for over 100ft to work with
I know it won't sound exciting but it's better to avoid starting off by shooting long distance or at least not doing so before you learn the basics, instead just focus on technique, release and overall form for the first few sessions
have fun
>>
>>264519
>Eh personally I wouldn't buy it since 50+ bucks seems a bit overpriced for those items alone
That's fair. What type of items do you believe to be 'essential' then, as far as accessories go?
>>264519
>I know it won't sound exciting but it's better to avoid starting off by shooting long distance
Oh definitely. I was thinking out loud when I typed that. If I want to practice shooting then I can just go outside any time I want. I wouldn't need to drive to some archery range or wherever, y'know?
>>
>>264569
In my opinion the only essential things would be an arrow rest for your bow, (I can't remember if my samick sage came with one or if I had to buy it separately) and a finger tab.
You will string slap your arm a few times at the beginning so if you want you can also get an arm guard but I never found them necessary because with a bow like this, as long as you shoot properly, you shouldn't hit your arm.
You definitely don't need a quiver especially since you'll be shooting in your yard you can just stick the arrows in the ground or behind your belt.
As for the target you can buy a portable one or just make one out of something like old carpets folded together or horsemats.
>>
I currently shoot a 40 lb Blackfoot Penthalon longbow, but I have to admit it's a bit too heavy for longer sessions. I'm thinking about selling it and going down to 35 lb.
I'm considering trying a traditional recurve. Is there much of a difference between one-piece and takedown? Are the speed and power different?
Also any recommendation?

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.

>Kuzushi is fake though
MCMAP just calls it "unbalancing" if the Japanese term is confusing you. They teach throws with the exact same system, same eight directions of kuzushi/unbalancing.
>If you go for a double leg, You are making a connection and "creating the shape" before doing anything to his balance
You are not a wrestler. There are a multitude of tricks and setups to fuck with someone's balance and momentum (kuzushi) before attempting a shot.
>>
>>264809
Unbalancing someone isn't a step in the process, it's the end goal
This is why people have so much trouble knocking each other over when its the most piss easy thing to do, they're not focusing their intention

People practice this shit like it's a waltz they actually count it out 123 123 step turn lift step turn lift
That's not real, it's barely a step above chi blasts. I can't even talk to judo people about this because I'm dealing with retards

>I can't even talk to judo people about this because I'm dealing with retards
I've been genuinely wondering if you are low- to mid-functioning autistic because of the way you hamstring yourself with asinine absolutes and don't seem to grasp abstract concepts.
>>
>>264815
Abstraction is exactly what Im trying to avoid
I'm rejecting judo as a philosophy and a system
"maximum efficiency, minimum effort"
I say "maximum effectiveness, efficiency is irrelevant" if it was effective then it was exactly as efficient as it needed to be

I reject 8 directions
A circle isn't 8 directions, why only 8, why not 16, why not 137? Because 8 is important in Buddhism and the old midget in a dress said so
And then there's the clasifications, Nami, kata, and gyaku jime are the same exact move for example
The direction your thumb is pointing is wholly irrelevant to mechanically choking someone
You could even complete that choke without gripping at all because the wrist bone is what's applying the pressure
There is too much internal focus on what your body is doing and not enough on the external of how is it affecting the other person

How often have you seen people fumbling around because they can't finish these basic ass collar chokes and it's because they're so transfixed about having the precise correct grip, making sure that their 4 fingers are hooking just right, and their thumbs aren't facing the wrong direction, Meanwhile they have no pressure on the arteries
>>
>>264819
>I say "maximum effectiveness, efficiency is irrelevant" if it was effective then it was exactly as efficient as it needed to be
Nobody who trains seriously in any fighting discipline thinks this. You can easily gas yourself out prematurely with effective techniques executed inefficiently or with excess force.
>A circle isn't 8 directions, why only 8, why not 16, why not 137?
The same reason a typical compass rose is in eight directions: straight, sideways, and diagonal are good enough for a coarse description of the direction in which a human body is moving across the ground. Sometimes a specific direction between the eight is discussed for some niche application just like sometimes north-east-east is useful when giving a more precise heading but usually the eight are specific enough.
>And then there's the clasifications, Nami, kata, and gyaku jime are the same exact move for example
These are similar choke variations but are not the "same exact move," which should be obvious to the guy who needs all 360 degrees of kuzushi defined for him.
>There is too much internal focus on what your body is doing and not enough on the external of how is it affecting the other person
Every submission grappling school I've visited, judo included, explains how chokes work to the students so that they understand what they're trying to accomplish with the techniques they're learning.
>How often have you seen people fumbling around because they can't finish these basic ass collar chokes and it's because they're so transfixed about having the precise correct grip, making sure that their 4 fingers are hooking just right, and their thumbs aren't facing the wrong direction, Meanwhile they have no pressure on the arteries
Basically never, but perhaps that's because I've never coached the special needs class. You teach people the objective and then show them some tools with which they can achieve that objective and they usually figure it out pretty quickly.

I surf at the same beach as Medina. I’ve been surfing here since I was a child, and I’ve been coming to this place since I was two months old (not joking, btw). I know this board is slow asf, but I’ve noticed from surfing generals that there are a lot of people interested in surfing here. So if you have any questions about the sport or this magical place called Maresias, feel free to ask me anything.
I’ll leave this thread open on my PC tab.
>>
Are Brazilian surfers as annoying in Brazil as they are in other countries?
>>
>>264753
Not really. It depends a lot on the beach. In Arpoador, Rio de Janeiro, you have a lot of toxic mfs who will snake and get snaked all the time. There’s no order at all; it’s like four guys going for the same wave. The same applies to Guarujá, in São Paulo.

In Maresias, though, you have crowded spots with around 40 people, and you rarely see any snaking or fighting. I’ve been surfing in Maresias for more than 10 years, and I’ve never seen a fight. I have been called out during my teenage years for taking too many waves at least 5 or 6 times (I’m a bigger-wave longboarder, so I tend to catch far more waves than shortboarders), but I’ve never been kicked out of the water or threatened with violence. Never been called out again, let shortboarder get their waves and always get good ones to
>>
>>264753
I would say that at least in Maresias, its pretty disciplined and you will most likely not meet many assholes

Parkour as a cultural movement started out as an urban, international, and multi-racial phenomenon appealing mostly to young people. Trespassing (violating property rights) and running from authorities are often trivialized or celebrated. Freerunning, which can get more social media attention from normies, rejects orthodoxy as the interpretive dance version of traditional parkour. Any conservative or traditionalist traceur I've personally known has been a more old school A-to-B "le parcours" athlete with prepper (in the loosest sense of the term), military, or emergency service motivations rather than some urban art kid making freerunning videos.

I'm a lightweight, (1.78m, 60kg), i've been going to judo for some months now, I'm liking it a lot, but, is it comparable/better to wrestling? Especially for a guy my size, I always thought wrestling would be useless as from what I know, it uses a lot of raw strength, while judo (though it still uses strength) is better suited for taking down heavier/stronger people. Is this right? Should I try doing some wrestling? I find judo very good but also sometimes limited by the sport

This guy is correct. All grappling relies on knowledge of fundamental human biomechanics and the laws of physics. The only major difference among the grappling styles are the uniform and the rules etc, but there are more similarities than differences. If you are a good grappler, you will be decent in any other grappling style, and only a short familiarization period away from being good again. Training the style you like the most, and dabbling in other styles whenever you get a chance is the best choice.

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 on

What do you guys think?

Would not recommend kawasucky if you can afford to otherwise. They aren't bad per se, but they're cheap and it shows. What kind of trails are around you? I know arizona has mostly wide open stuff but parts can be lots of tight rocky areas, sparse forests etc. what would work best for you depends a lot on the trails you plan on riding. FX350, for instance, is probably an excellent choice unless you're doing really tight, slow single track

First you need to figure out what you really want to do - trails, mx, or both. I would buy an inexpesnive two stroke like a 125 from an older guy who took care of it, can tell you everything about it, has aftermarket parts and is about your weight (so you do not have to immediately respring the suspension). Having a proper suspension set up for your weight and the type of riding you do is most important. Its amazing what you can do a bike you like and are comfortable with. Practice, practic, practice riding, set up little courses and practice standing up through corners, whoops breaking, accelerating. No need to push hard, just get the feel and slolwy work your way up and have fun. If you are riding trails in the desert its important to get familiar with the trails, ruts, rocks, roots, drop offs, so you do not hit the unexpected at speed. When I started riding desert we met a guy at the staging are and he ripped passed us. Turns out he rode the same large loops every weekend (long large loops with hill climbs, sand washes, flats, everything so it was a great variety), but because he knew the area so well he knew when he could go fast and when to really slow down - there were some dangerous obsticles that you could not see until you were righ on them, so go slow to learn the terrain. I suggest a two stoke because it is so muche easier to do a piston and rings for a quick 'top end' where as a 4stroke has all the valves and shims and piston and rings.
Here is a great vid of a desert race, guy with camera is riding 2storke, racing against various 4 strokes. Great HD footage. He pulls the lead until a new challenger appears at 2:50. These guys ride the area and already know the terrain. YOu would be crazy to pull these speed never having ridden there before.

>crf250r before it blew up
Define 'blew up'. can it be fixed for a lot less than buying another new/used bike? you can guy a lot of engine parts for $2k (cases, transmission, piston, crank, bearings). If you already set the bike for you and you like it just fix it even if you have to buy a used engine that you need to fix. I am still riding my 06 CRF450R which I bought brand new, its still faster than I am, still pulls hard, and since Iost a lot of fat (like 40 pounds) the power/wieght ratio is increased.... :)
