Is sky diving an extreme sport?
>>256377it's not that extreme when anyone can do it
>>256826the admins are not the arbiters of truth
>>256851AFF Instructor here.,...not everyone can do it. We fail about 30% of the people to the point of telling them to take up another sport.
>>256851Please try swooping or freeflying and tell me it's not extreme and that anyone can do it
>>256377Getting circumcized is an extreme sport
Imagine being so hated they design infrastructure against you
>>242478no, its because skaters devalue shit by skating on it and loitering around in general. they arent a net benefit financially
>>244183you sound like an insane asshole. the world would be better without people like you
>>242468>duuuude!! I'm so cool!!! I'm a street skater, I just skate the urban environment maaaaan!!! just like in muh gonz videos from 40 years ago!!! I'm an artist, I just go with the flow an sheeeiiiiitttttt>what, the urban environment isn't exactly the same as it was in muh 40 year old gonz video? >NOOOOOOOOO!!!!>I can't evolve and go with the flow like that>dats not fair!!!so basically you're a skatepark faggot, you need an environment that is designed (intentionally or accidentally) to accommodate skating, if you were a real street skater you'd be able to cope with whatever obstacles the urban environment presentstl;dr you're a faggot
>>264014i meam the biggest problem is that every modern infrastructure redevelopment is incredibly lame and gay
>>242468I think this is more about stopping hobos than skaters.
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.
>>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.
>>261875Nah. Despite posting some weird stuff on his instagram/youtube like that, and having some weird beliefs outside of martial arts, he's extremely legit.

Want to participate in one of the most ultimate extreme sports? Come Skydive.Either do a tandem for ~S220 (Don't get video you will watch it once or twice and it costs $120+) or go through AFF and jump with your own gear every jump ($~3600 for the first 8 jumps or so) Most jumps are $60-70 after that if renting gear, or ~$30 if you have your own.Any questions? Ask away I'm an insutructor

Why is skydiving considered an "extreme sport", it's literally just falling down.
>>258975how hard is it to pack a parachute and not have it fail? genuinely asking, seems like a pretty basic thing
>>257797wingsuit flying is the shiiiiiiiithttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChpGDDw-Ix0
>>261603not hard. When the manufacturer has their riggers try to pack an intentional malfunction so they can slowmo video the opening and get a better idea of whats going on, it opened without problems 70% of the time.I have had friends toss a canopy into the wind and it works fine.
>>261603How hard is it to tie a bungee rope to someone
>>263935Extremely easy. There is no regulations of industry watch dog for bungee jumping. If you can afford the LLC and the bungee cord, you can start a business.
I want to learn something that would actually teach me how to use a weapon, near me they have fencing, eskrima and kendo. Of these three which one would have the most real life applicability?
>>247909Like thisJames LaFond is a practical fighterhttps://youtu.be/KaMCKSEkHS4?is=L4wfJ44oRJ711GJX
>>262310Yes and no. The gross motor movements are similar, but they don't translate 1:1.
>>200593No sword art is made to be used on a fucking battlefield, I don't even understand where this myth comes from. Martial arts are for duel and street self defense scenarios, not battle.
>>263345>No sword art is made to be used on a fucking battlefieldIf you think people were carrying greatswords for duels and self-defense in alleyways, then you are retarded.
>>263374Lmao, all the montante sources we have are about either dueling (Marozzo's spadone) or crowd control in a street situation when bodyguarding (Godinho's montante).Sure, the *weapon* was used on the battlefield (to some extent, not exactly clear how much), but the art associated with it is 100% not about battlefield use.

Do I try GrindKings?
why is everyone at the park skating such tiny decks (under 8)? are they trying to make me feel like a fat fuck? 8.5 is standard, right?

>>264530Yep. Cyma 028 and it's variants is an exact copy of TMs AK47 that went on sale in 1994.Would you like to buy a 32 year old toy gun design? I wouldn't.
>>264557NTA, but f it works it works.Sometimes newer isn't always better.
>>264557Depends on where in the world you are, the things are insanely popular as poverty blasters in Europe to my knowledge because Taiwangun sells them for literally under $90USD off-sale (even less on sale) and they simply work well enough for most even if they're a rough-around-the-edges designThey are significantly less appealing in the US where they're $140-150USD off-sale because at that point you can get much better guns for the price if not slightly more, and not appealing at all in Canada because virtually every gun that would be cheap if sold in any other country is price-hiked to absolute hell here due to retailers taking advantage of fear surrounding the sometimes-inconsistent nature of self-importation of airsoft guns and a lot of international importers either not knowing how to export to Canada or simply refusing to export to Canada due to shipments repeatedly being (illegally) seized by the CBSA
>>264664the value of an airshit purchase does heavily depend on where you live and what stores you're willing to shop fromcyma platinums are honestly kind of a shit deal outside of taiwangun where they're like 260€ for the newest models. i would definitely not pay the US prices of like $350+ dollars for a gen 1 model with a crap mosfet. similarly krytac p90s and some VFCs have like a 80% markup in the EU
Played my first game with a tri-shot shotgun (cheap CYMA) and had a great time. The fps is pretty low but it has decent range out of the box.

First episode is out.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCsR-zxwN1Y>What is the Ultimate Self-Defense Championship?A bit over a year ago, former Aikidoka YouTuber Rokas Leo set up a tournament with a self-defense "academy" to have himself and five other martial arts YouTubers compete to see who is best at self-defense. It was a hilarious shitshow that nearly crippled one of the contestants, Ramsey Dewey who would later get into an internet spat with the guy behind the academy (Jeff Phillips) and described the entire event as "piss poor" due to poor management, an incoherent and arbitrary scoring system, running on a very limited schedule, and timing events terribly (like having a zombie apocalypse-themed event that didn't influence score in the middle of the entire thing instead of at the end or something) and doing comically dangerous shit like making people fight on a narrow bridge a good 30ft above the ground.Somehow, he kickstarted a second one, which features even less martial arts YouTubers.

Oh this thread is still up?Seth should have won season 3. (((THEY))) rigged the game.
They're making Season 4 right now.>Sambo>Taekwondo>Longsword>Bodybuilder>Bodyguard>Untrained Guy>Mystery ManIt looks like Sambo guy and Bodyguard guy are the best of the contestants, but I wouldn't be surprised if the mystery guy is a student of whoever is hosting the show and "miraculously" pulls out a win.
Is Dana right?
>>262377Depends, if you're using it like a woman to get attention on social media or avoid doing something yes shut up, if you're about to kill yourself maybe talk to someone you know.
>>262377one of the few times dana white has been right about somethingbeing a lame freak is nothing to be proud of. "normalizing" mental health has resulted in people just patheticmaxxing.now days everyone has got 4 fake mental health disorders (literally not scientific atall) that they are convinced are real. its so stupid

Yes, I read the pins on /fit/, but I wonder if there are other ways that are focused/oriented for combat sports, or will I get the same results with Yoga or whatever else they do?.I am a faggot, and a Kyokushin karate practicioner, so it is needed if you want good kicks.I am only a White belt, and I know with time I will get better at it,. But even then I feel it leaves a lot to be desired (I am 54kgs which is like 120lbs), so my guess is that a decent mobility and flexibility should be the bare minimum for me.So are there other ways to unlock splits and high kicks?
Sex with oguri
>>262947>What is the fastest way to get flexible for martial artists?Have another guy force your legs into the splits. It not the healthiest way to do it and it would be extremely painful. But it's the fastest.
