Is it time to accept that Caucasus wrestlers have debunked striking forever?
>>255954casuals just hate anything that's simple but effective, whether in grappling or striking. i've seen people booing strickland because of his simple 1-2 style.
>>242909And surely benefits successful takedown defence , it seems prime time for a knee to the head after stuffing a takedown no ?
>>242741>keeps it fast and ends in timeThey can still fit the fights in their respective 15 minute gaps, do one or two 5 round main events (spread them around if you want to fight boredom, make people buy chips and beer all night instead of dropping last minute, and make the last fight feel fresh), and the last fight of the day should last til someone drops or gives up. A proper last stand. At least make it optional for more money and a special BMF title if there's no belt.Where's the 45 minute fights for a belt? epic slugging each other's tired selves into mush? wuzzes being booed out of the place? where pinning and dragging people on and around the ground is just wasting energy if you get nothing out of it. Where you can jab and teep someone all day and it means nothing unless they go down at some point?Maybe give a chance to a fucker that just faught that day and wants money, fame and feeling like a warrior. When are we Sakuraba-ing again?What do they need the place for after the 5 rounders? what would make them more money than dudes going at it at a dick measuring contest? child trafficking conventions?

Rie Tsukihiji, a pioneer in the world of women's sumo, passed away on July 23rd 2024 at the young age of 46. She was an active figure in women's sumo from the early days of the sport, when it was still called "new sumo." She was a legend, having won 11 consecutive open-weight championships starting from the first All Japan Championship in 1996.She is 159 cm tall and weighs 150 kg. She started sumo late, after entering Takudai University, but her powerful style of wrestling made her a star on the world stage. She won a gold medal at the World Women's Sumo Championship. Why does nobody seem to care? nothing in jap media or anywhere.
>>229856Yeah, I need to see Japanese mature BBW tits. It's traditional.
>>229425More like extremely obese.
>>249474>bumping after 4 fucking months to post this brain dead retardation What the fuck is wrong with your dumb fucking shitty little greasy brain, moronYou have obesity of the mind, dipshitFatheaded fucktardWhat an embarrassment you are
>>229425>active figure
>>229428Haha. Everyone's hair looks the same except for one specific individual.
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?
>>248074Yea its standard they are just newfags...

Is there any ice skaters here? Figure, dance, speed, freestyle, or even hockey can be included.Not many places to talk about it.
>>247946Not him but yes. Basically the same appeal but faster and much more chaotic, at least as far as short track is concerned.
>Team USA being blatantly hilariously overscored>Canadians finally call it out>We were completely removed from all the Olympic drama. We were the lucky ones on the podium. And that, you know, is quite rare at the Olympics. Usually, the entire top three is celebrating, crying, and emotions are running high.>But in a way, Paul and I have really prepared ourselves for this moment over the past two years. The American team has done this to us many times: they might not skate their best, fall or trip, the judges might not notice, and they'll still beat us.>For example, they robbed us of two World Championship medals by ending up on top of the podium. So Paul and I know exactly what that feels like, and it's a terrible feeling.">But I think we learned a lot about ourselves and how to handle these situations. You just have to say, "I can't help it. Yes, I don't like it, but I'm not going to go to the media and make a big fuss." Not going to lie, it genuinely annoys me seeing how much Liu is being shilled everywhere when she's genuinely a mediocre figure skater. Why in fuck has her routine suddenly jumped 20 points from before the world championships to now literally nothing has changed, she hasn't improved in anyway, exact same footwork and jumps etc, yet now just magically get scored 20 points higher. It's not even a good routine, just bog standard exhibition level stuff>No Level 4 elements>Constant underotation on jumps>Constant full prerotation on jumps>Literally kindergarten level footwork I genuinely do not understand how people with a straight face can think Liu is on the same level as Sakamoto, Chiba, Nakai, Trusova etc. The judging of the sport is so fucking bullshit these days. Literally the Judges just give out top scores to whatever Federation gives them the most gimmies. Honestly the only good routine this entire year was Miura and Kihara.
>>256982anything with judges or refs is a corrupt meme sport
>>256982she looks horrendous. jumps are low, skating is slow as fuck etc.how is it even possible that skater this low quality is now olympic champ kek, she had been out of top5 in 2020 sochi with the latest performance even including refs overscoring team usahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUDuycYSyDwmeanwhile 14 year old russians score higher than her olympic pointshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsSEpyP6Xlgvalieva in 2026, has the world record of 270 pointshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mJrqXEYEOg
>>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.
you know i heard that zambidis will come back for feature matches and shit and i remembered two of his most brutal matcheszambidis vs chahidhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPgFxlWjigYand zambidis vs buakawhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyd3IxUhpYE
>>257620Honestly one of the most based fighters of all time. John Lineker reminds me of him
>>257620man i never saw the buakaw match but knowing what he was capable at the time seeing him not throwing his usual combos at zampidis and zampidis not doing his usual knee atacks seems like both were afraid of each other to not give any openings
>>257620I always loved his shorts.Someone knows the brand because I never found anything about?

Hey /xs/, absolute tourist here, do you guys ever discuss skiing or have a skiing general? I see another thread on cross country, but I'm thinking more alpine or freestyle. Bit early in October, but I'm looking forward to this season, hoping I'm well enough to go.
I picked up a set of rossignol 4s racing skis from the 80's or 90's off the side of the road and they seem to be in good condition outside of needing some tlc and some new bindings. Are they worth fixing up or should I just keep them to learn how to perform maintenance like waxing and edge sharpening on my own gear?
>>255372Read a book, play vidya, watch movies, sleep.It sucks but you just deal and then you're there.>>255755There's a reason they were on the side of the road. Get modern skis and ski on those and take care of those.
I tried cross country skiing for the first time yesterday and it absolutely kicked my ass. It was fun though so I'll be on the lookout for a cheap pair of skis on facebook marketplace or craigslist or something.
Irish guy here.I want to go skiing/snowboarding before the season is up, is there any good places nearby that would have good snow in April?
Went skiing last week for the first time in 20 something years with minimal experience before that. I didn't really know how it would go, but it went better than expected. I felt quite confident at the end of the day, although I stuck to the green (with some blue parts).Looking to buy some skis and boots now. I have a local "mountain" nearby (more like a big hill) with a lift and plastic thing for summer skiing, at least on one of two lanes.
/archery/ Thread #3 /archg/Let's keep this bad boy going!What's your style?What you shooting?What you hitting?Recs for bows?I bought a yumi, oh god, I'm a fucking moron, please help.What you wearing?
>>251131>Sanlida Archery Royal X8 Recurveit doesn't look traditional though?!?!If you like it then go ahead, it's alright. Pretty middle of the pack in the price range, they tend to fuck up a bit on the draw weight though that's a common issue with them(and literally everyone else desu)>>252255We just made our own horse out of iron beams, a barrel and a blanket.
>>253694>it doesn't look traditional though?!?!It's a traditional recurve made from wood (and some fiberglass, though). Looks quite traditional to me.I don't like how the takedowns look, even the one made of wood. And especially hate the look of those metal bright color ones.
>>212688>What's your style?compound bow!>What you shooting?elite basin RTS with a scott quick shot, set to 40 pounds>What you hitting?I'm really new so my target is at 30 meters. I need to dial my sight in because right now I'm aiming for the bottom of my target to hit the centre>Recs for bows?idk>I bought a yumi, oh god, I'm a fucking moron, please help.I also considered a Yumi and they seem like they're actually junk>What you wearing?I normally wear a dress or a long sleeve with a skirt. I think my white dress looks cool when I put my quiver on around my waist. speaking of which apparently people want they quivers facing forward, but mine faces backwards so whatever.I'm really enjoying archery so far. and every time I go to the range it's totally empty so I get the whole place to myself. still building up my strength however.Comment too long.

>>252738>spiritual journey>self mastery>harmony with natureYou sound more like a treehugger and a vegan than an archer. Pull you head out of your ass.
>>212688>What's your style?Three-under, Barebow, LH>What you shooting?Recurve for Competitions/at the club or Longbow for those Outside Courses with 3D targetsLongbow: Beier Enok 40lbs. Super Light, great for long outdoor 3D rangesRecurve: X-Line Horizon Riser with 32lbs WNS FC-100 limbsThe two-tone coloring on those Risers is so sick, like half the reason I bought them>What you hitting?Trying to get comfortable at the 50m distance this Outdoor season so I can join regular Barebow tournaments
Combat sports attract some of the most low iq people on the planet
>>256562Thats called a normal distribution, dipshit. Its not a meme. Its just statistics. Like extremely basic statistics. Congratulations on finding out you're one of the stupid ones though, enjoy that knowledge.
>>256562This has been my experience, with some disciplines favoring one side or the other (boxing seeming to have more lower-iq guys than judo, for instance). >>257287Nice reading comprehension, smoothbrain.
>>257307You can talk shit when youve passed a basic math class, retard.
>>256560Guy from /k/ here. I think that everything that is popular will eventually have a bunch of low-IQ people there. I regularly interact with people that I would never take hunting or to the range because they are a liability to everyone around them. The fact that there are so many retards in martial arts is proof of how well they've been marketed and how well they've attracted newcomers since the 80s.
>>257327This is the bell curve meme template he's referencing:https://knowyourmeme.com/sensitive/memes/iq-bell-curve-midwitHis assertion is that normies are under-represented in combat sports and the people further than one standard deviation from the broader societal norm are over-represented.
Just found out about this sport. Seems too cool to be this niche. Anyone into it?
>>248257>Everything that's too difficult for my fat obese sedentary ass to do is bad
>>248257They're basically doing martial arts wuxia movie fight choreography without an opponent
>>248062I always thought these types of sports were cool because you can pretty much do them anywhere without any equipment. Like at almost any moment, you could just bust out a cool flip and a kick and anyone who happens to see it will be amazed. Seems like an easy way to elicit attention to yourself
>>248257>what if we took only the cool shit of martial arts and made it rad as fuck
it's fake and gay. Those guys are just tumbling
How fucked am IPosted this on another board before but this one seems better, my apolocheese
>>252552Sadly where I live is like a wasteland for boxing gyms, but I got some thing and enough space to train at home and my best friend is also the best friends of a few ex pro kickboxers, but they are all older now and work dayjobs and have families, so I can't depend on them too much, but they can gauge how ready I am at least and maybe work their connections a bit to hook me up with an organization, I heard lots of the organizations at beginner level are pretty cutthroat and get you nowhere
>>252538It really depends on your fight IQ and talent. The UFC institute literally studies the average decline of fighters and it's typically 34, that's when you slow down reflexes wise, or recovery wise. So that is 9 years which is a long career. The only catch is this brother If you believe in yourself don't hesitate and waste any more time.
>>252538Bumping to ask an equally dumbass question. Which is worse: a 30yo. amateur boxer or a 30yo. amateur mma fighter? Both want to compete on either a national or global (amateur) level by the age of 30 while having started actual, consistent martial arts training from 26. No intentions for pro fights or really training seriously beyond the age of 30-32. How much of a fucking autistic dipshit am I?
do you have a background in anything? the regional MMA scene is pretty hit or miss, whereas people have been boxing since childhood (actual sport). If you can train 2-3 martial arts a week without injuring yourself (probably just BJJ, Kickboxing) then it's probably achievable. Check what national tournaments there are.
>>257390you'll probably lose to some gen alpha kid either way though
