All "martial artists" are pathetic, weak-minded people; they have to wear rainbow ribbons to motivate themselves in cosplay.

A true martial artist primarily cultivates and masters his mind, and in his martial life, he will only wear a rope around his waist and eventually a black belt after long years of mental, physical, and martial training.

For martial arts with throws, it makes throws easier and means your clothes don't tear

>it makes throws easier
No it don't
>means your clothes don't tear
No it still will
On Saturdays at my gym I just don't wear a belt
I like to keep visitors guessing/don't want them to take it easy on me (am just blue in BJJ) and 70% of our gym is no gi on those days anyways the belt to me is meaningless and I don't even care if people grab my clothes, I fucking grab my clothes if I'm trying to avoid a joint lock, it's just safer than no gi

>>241610
>No it don't
Mother fucker more than half of the throws in judo use the gi as a grip
If you think a wrist throw is as easy as a gi throw you're completely deluded

He was forced out by the growing anti-immigration party (sanseito) and because of his party's loss of seats to them in. Ishiba embarrassed himself, his party and his country when he fell stepping off the dohyo back in January after handing the cup to Horseshitryu. Hopefully the JSA will learn a lesson from this and kick all the mongs out of sumo. International types can go wrestle for Hakuho in his international league.

Is there any ice skaters here? Figure, dance, speed, freestyle, or even hockey can be included.

Not many places to talk about it.

Haha thats a funny way to think. Unfortunately my time table only allows for one discipline at a time but you've indeed shown me the things that i should be working on
>>
>>241257
Have you tried minding your hips and shoulders? For outside the free leg should be extended as much as possible with open hips and toes facing the side (facing right if ur doing left outside egde forward 3turn)

Also ive found that having an arm extended in front of me help directing the turn.

To learn to master your basics you should definitely check out the youtube channel style skating, the woman speaking is great, it's almost like having your personal coach with how precise her descriptions are
>>
>>241382
Yeah I’m watching that, and I do got a private coach that constantly hits me on my lack of arms. But she’s pretty happy with the turns themselves and says it’s mostly just needing to smooth things out and get more muscle memory. But it’s still a struggle and I hate how slow this feels compared to everything else being so easy.

Honestly considering other people I talk to I think a large part is my outside edges suck, and if I had to guess it’s cause my feet are a bit fucked so I really need to strain myself to get into the outside position, and I think that’s hurting the post rotation glide.

On the bright side, afternoons are dead now that kids are in school. It’s so much easier to get practice when there’s only like 3 girls on the entire rink.
>>
>>241387
Sometimes it just happens man. Personally i been stuck on twizzles and scratch spins for two months now and i'm boutta explode. Unless i go to classes any ice that i step my foot on is ruined by hockey players, im losing my passion i can feel it. The only times i feel truly unburdened is when the ice is empty and smooth, but like that happens at public sessions

this guy is a big faggot and seems to completely disregard the concept of style.
he can execute tricks at low speed and thinks that he has the right to judge someone going 20mph at a ledge and having to twist their body or touch their hand to the ground (which is rad btw) when they land.
big faggot.
big joke.

Why are "turkish oil wrestling" and Kushti (indian folk wrestling) so much less known\popular, than sumo, greco-roman, etc? Is it because they themselves imposed heavy non- outsider restrictions upon those sports?
For example in the br*tish empire era, many scholars were fascinated by yoga, but Kushti didn't make much of an impact...likewise the balkans, once ottoman clay, don't have the folk style of turkey.

A thread to discuss Japanese weapon based martial arts and our own martial journey with like minded people, discussion of other Asian systems is welcomed too.

>what is kendo?
Kendo is a modern Japanese budō that uses shinai (bamboo sword) and armor for combat, in its modern purpose is a way to strengthen body and spirit and develop character.

>is kendo a martial art?
Kinda

>what do I need to start kendo?
A shirt and sweat pants your club will likely borrow you the rest when you start

>what is iaido?
Is a Japanese martial art, influenced by zen practices based on different kata (drills) and subdivided in different schools with solo drills based on drawing the sword from the scabbard to defend from an imaginary opponent.

>what is kenjutsu?

>Found out the whole set of equipment is fucking expensive
I'm starting to wonder if I can just home build some of the equipment like the shinai and the breastplate.
>>
>>240786
Police style kendo is almost impossible to find outside of Japan and even if you do find it won’t be useful in competitions
For the equipment consider that a decent set can last you a lifetime with some almost irrelevant spendings for maintenance and parts repairs when it breaks (mostly it’s the palm of the kote), one of my sempai is a fifth dan and it’s still using his first set after almost 18 years of practice.

Do you consider horseback riding an extreme sport?

I've never had a martial arts, parkour, snowboarding, or skateboarding injury as bad as some of the horseback riding injuries I've seen in my family.
>>

yes

risk of serious injury and incredibly expensive to take good care of a horse
>>
>>235697
It does actually take a pretty high degree of athleticism as well (if you're actually trying to be good at it). And you have to control all of your limbs independently based on steering.

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

Skydiving is a dangerous activity that can be done in a relatively safe manner.
Your parachute will open almost certainly, but that doesnt mean it will always open exactly when or how you want, or not cause you to end up in a double out mess.
You have to be collected/capable enough to deal with all the bullshit introduced by human error/other jumpers.
This week, a pro jumper in a national team died to a swoop landing in my DZ.
>>
>>238375
Comparatively, I wonder how many more people died in car/motorcycle accidents around the same area.
>>
>>238407
I would estimate each skydive to be ~20 mins of potentially dangerous activity (with 15 mins of it being the ride up, which is significantly lower risk profile, but not 0).
So a good comparison would be based on the likelihood of injury or death in 1000 jumps (20000mins=333hours of skydiving+parachuting+riding up) vs 333 hours of riding your motorcycle.
It's still the safest extreme sport, but it's unfair to exclaim civilian motorcycle riding to be more accident prone on a per minute of activity basis.
>>
I'm struggling too much with sit-fly (in tunnel)
>>
>>238315
I had my first jump last week (it was exhilarating, would recommend) and I was talking to my tandem master along with another experienced jumper about the AAD on the truck ride to the plane, and they said one dude they knew died because he passed out on a jump despite the AAD opening. That's one that shocked me never having done it before is how fast you come in even with the shoot open, especially on swoops and turns. You land wrong with the shoot open and you're still fucked. So the AAD isn't the best fail safe you would think it is. And from my understanding that's where most skydiving fatalities come from, human error not mechanical error. It doesn't matter how battle tested your gear is, it can't prevent people from being dumbasses doing highly risky maneuvers or freak health accidents like losing consciousness on the jump.

Your gear not working and winding up like a bug on a windshield during a summer night is your fearful primal monkey brain speaking, but in actuality it rarely happens like that.

Not really. Vines that would support the weight of a swinging human are woody and inflexible, and the swingable ones aren’t strong enough. Maybe if you’re a yoked manlet and go to the amazon

I used to do that when I was little, we swang from Eucaliptus trees hair-like branches down a steep rope. Shit was crazy, but they'd probably snap if you weigh more than 40kgs. We also used to climb a very tall tree (four story building in height) which was a pine tree I guess but not one of those straight-withouth-branches

This is actually an OCD thread. In the last ten years a new style of skating got popular, it's a bit old school and idk stupid. The best example would be the pelican, where you go up and do a tard version of a rock to fakie by taking your back foot off and just stepping on the ramp. Though it can also be innovative. I think Richie Jackson is a perfect example. Might as well call it Richie Jackson style but there's a better word for it. It's some random skateboard slang and I just can't remember what someone called it a couple years ago. It's just some word I forgot and it's bothering me
