Hello my /xs/bros, I hope everyone has been having a rad summer. I'm here to bring a few updates on how our virtual divegrass team is coming along.The first order of business, here is a new crest I made for the team. Inspired by the New York Red Bulls FC crest, this keeps our iconic logo, and expands upon it, adding many of our extreme sports onto the crest. Let me know what you all think.Now onto our upcoming games. The 4cc Autumn Babby Cup Friendlies are coming up next month, and we have 2 games scheduled.September 13th vs /jp/ - Third match of the day.Also on that same day vs /pw/ - Final match of the day.Both of these games will be live managed, so look forward to live management autism.Following the friendlies, the Tag Team Cup 7 will be taking place at the end of September & beginning of October. We will be participating and tagging with our friends over at /tv/, to form /xstv/. This team will bring you the most extreme and insane shit you've seen on television.And finally, towards the end of October, the Autumn Babby Cup will officially be underway. We still have many projects in the works for our epic return, so we will keep this thread updated on announcements regarding the Tag Team Cup 7 and Autumn Babby Cup.Comment too long.

>>268356I don't really have suggestions, but good luck to the team.
Just a reminder, our 2 friendly games will be this Sunday. We will have special anthems and new kits for both games.For our match against /jp/ we will be debuting a Monster Energy Drink Motocross inspired kit.As for our match against /pw/, I won't completely spoil what that new kit will look like, but I will say this, it is our throwback kit to /asp/.In other news, the Tag Team Cup 7 has been delayed until January. It's a shame because we had a very fun roster lined up for /xstv/, but at least we'll have this time to work on better models for that team.>>270155Thanks buddy, I'm very confident that we'll have a great Autumn this year.
Good luck from /his/!
>>268356/xs/ will always be fun to watch. Don't care about results. Fun is fun. So keep it up and continue delivering fun. Love the new logo.
Well we had 2 very fun games today, a 3-4 win against /jp/, and a 2-1 loss against /pw/, with Dan being the hero of the day, and Zorb being the shitter for not being in place for a /pw/ goal. Thank you to everyone that watched. We have a lot of work to do to prepare for the actual cup next month, so I expect an even better /xs/ than what we saw today.>>270402Thanks lad, I hope we play /his/ soon because I have a really good hyp in mind that involves MMA.>>270440I really appreciate that, as a manager it's my job to get the wins, but fun is extremely important to me.
American Jiu Jitsuthese threads last months so cji3 edition nowdaily deals: amazoninstructionals: just roll smoothcomp: self explanatorybelt checker: fuck the ibjjf
New to comp but let's say you're in a REALLY bad position where you know you're going to risk an injury but your opponent is nowhere near a sub. Do you just instantly tap? I've had a few moments while rolling where I accidentally straight arm posted or had my wrist the wrong way and luckily I pulled it in time but I did make "OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT" remarks and stuff like that which my training partner let me adjust, can already tell that's probably a no go in competition for obvious reasons but I'm just trying to be smart about this without feeling dumb.
>>270474I don't understand the scenario
>>270474yelling OH SHIT OH SHIT or anything of that nature during a comp match can be viewed as a verbal tap by the ref and result in you losing the matchat the end of the day, you are responsible for your own personal safety and you have to make the final decision whether or not that plastic medal is worth 6 months of physical rehab
>>270474Dont try anything new the day of and dont scream mid roll. You should be fine>>270476I've been sitting on this for a while too. How many positions can one even find themselves in where they think injury is imminent absent a locked in sub? Especially at white belt where you're not gonna run in to leg entanglements or a twister or something of the sort you may not have seen in the training room.

How goes the training bros? Im workshopping a crescent kick -> sideswing combo. Just learned how to do a roundhouse with my front foot and it is incredibly awkward. I also keep dropping my arms or raising them too high like a muay thai fighter when sparring. Im thinking of trying resistance training in the water now that it is summertime. Any tips for that?Remember you must never use it unless you know how to incapacitate without evidence.
I've skipped the past 3 weeks of practice and im slippin lads. Post some motivation
>>269750Remember who you are... Karateanon....
I’m looking at a martial arts school near me that primarily TKD but advertises Kyokushin 3 times a week. The kanji on the gi looks different than normal Kyokushin or Shinkyokushin kanji, can anyone tell what organization this belongs to?
>>269976Could be this.

Here we discuss HMB, Buhurt, Harnisfechten, SCA Heavy, Armored MMA, and other categories of historically inspired armored sport fighting. We are a very welcoming community and there’s never enough of us, newcomers need not be shy.Share your experiences, discuss arms and armor, appreciate the athletes and smiths, and most of all HAVE FUN!
>>253448What's HMB?
>>268529because our sport is run by retarded faggots who want to exist only on a platform where your real name and info can be put on blast if you commit wrongthink
>>253448Hi all. MMA-ist coming from a karate > fencing > bjj > kickboxing > Kali background, with a bit of fucking about in HEMA and a bunch of other things.How do you get into this sort of thing? A full suit of armour seems like one of the higher-ends of sports expenses, just to be able to practice. I'm in NZ if that helps. Planning on moving to Wellington in near future, so I know/think there's a club there, but not a huge one.Also, what's some good drills/technicals one can practice outside of armed combat, for armoured combat? I know takedowns are a thing, but any special types or approaches?I do prefer striking and positioning to wrestlefucking though.
>>269982Turn up to your nearest club and get some practice in soft kit. Once you've proven you're not a retard, they'll let you borrow armour to train in.Buying armour can be a gradual thing. Sometimes second hand bits pop up, and people at your club/the captain are normally the first to hear about these. Personally, once I knew the sport was for me, I just bit the bullet and ordered a full set new, but that did come with its own problems.As for throws, baby's first judo will take you a long way, though you'll find everything you already know feels wrong in armour. If you prefer striking, Profights/outrance might be more your thing.
>>268529Facebook killed a lot of the old hobby forums. The alternatives, depending on your hobby, are Reddit and Discord.

Parkour thread. Where are you at with your training? How have you been working around the limits of weather and lockdowns? How much do you apply the utilitarian HĂ©bertist mindset of being strong to be useful to your training routines?Freerunners can post, too. Maybe even gymnasts and trickers if you don't get your own thread up and running.original thread >>1236

I can attend either a Meibukan dojo or a Jundokan one. What do
Neither, karate is for idiots. Do BJJ and boxing for maximum ROI.
>>269828This lol
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!
>>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.
Have you had surgery yet anon?
What's up /xs/bros. I hope you've all been having a rad spring so far. I'm here to catch everyone up with how our divegrass team has been coming along. This past Autumn Cup was my first cup as manager. It was a very fun and retarded first run, but it was also a trainwreck in terms of results, as we lost the 3 games we had.Next weekend our team plays in the Spring Cup qualifiers. I swore to do much better this Spring Cup, so I've been working a lot on the tactics side. We've had a lot of help for our aesthetics from people outside of the team. We made a lot of changes, and a lot more changes are on the way. I know exactly what our stadium and ball will look like, but I was not able to make the time to make them. Those will be my priorities for the next cup.The schedule for the Spring Cup qualifiers next weekend is the followingApril 10 - vs /co/April 11 - vs /vst/April 12 - vs /lit/Please come support our team. I will do my best to get us out of these qualifiers and get into the proper Cup.I'd also like to remind everyone that we have a >dicksword for our team, and you're welcome to join. The invite link is on the contact info page on the rigged wiki.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>259174It's over...
Well, after a draw on Friday, a win yesterday, and a wild loss today, we won't be going to the Spring Cup. Thank you to every one that watched and supported this team. We'll be back this upcoming Autumn. I will be sure to have our stadium, ball, and other work that needs to be done, ready by Autumn. Keep on Earth Rocking.
>>259696Better luck next cup.

>>269569That's literally possible, but depending on which one is from the earlier year the sheer scale of how much more meat would have to be eaten to bring the average up, or how much meat everyone has given up to bring the numbers so far down, would be pretty massive. At least the second one reeks of AI drivel so I'm inclined to go with what >>269571 said>>269570Huh. I wonder how much this map changes in terms of relative color if you exclude women

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

>>268265One of my old taekwondo instructors started as a little kid and by all reports absolutely sucked at it until around age 15, when it suddenly clicked and he got so good that he almost made it to the Olympics (stopped by a knee injury).
>>268265What exactly are school clubs? My school only had just lectures and a free pt period at the end where we used to chimp out.
