Muscles in a fight are like horse power in racing. It matters a lot but it doesn't mean a 400 hp car can never beat a 700 hp car around a track. If you train bjj twice a week, you wouldn't beat a bodybuilder who is 50% heavier than you. Demetrious Johnson wouldn't beat Thor Bjornsson who is 150% heavier than him. But Demetrious Johnson would beat a bodybuilder who's 50% bigger than him.

I agree about the MMA guy, but I also think there's plenty of annoying body builders too. I think we're all so fucking annoying any time we say our hobbies make us better than each other. I started doing MMA to be like Naruto and I like to take shit personally - I'm not winning any personality contests any time soon.

Depends on for how long you have been training

I did a bit of muay thai and I think this probably applies to most places but every time we were usually split into two groups, those who wanted to spar on one side and those who just wanted a partner to drill with on the other and you just talked it out with your sparring partner about how hard you wanted to go.
I've also done boxing in a sports center and they didn't let you do sparring for a few months, just drills but even the people who sparred only did medium intensity to the body only taps to the head.

Capoeira
Uncompetitive BJJ
Judo

Alternatively find someone who thinks like you and just train together by yourselves

Catch wrestling will always be the GOAT of combat sports to me and noone can convince me otherwise

>>253556
>I want to train something that doesn't involve hard sparring whatsoever, I just want to do drills and light sparring without hard hits or simply hits to the head.
You can do this with almost all martial arts (except weird stuff like Lethwei); the problem is finding a good gym.

>>253583
>There's a reason BJJ is as popular as it is these days
Chokes also harm the brain, not just strikes to the head. Always be careful when sparring to not excessively harm your practice partner.

So are trad archers just the vegans of archery? A good majority of them I met at the range are very snobby towards specifically target archers, like they view anything more than a wooden arrow to be some kind of heresy against archery.

Traditional archers are more the patricians and aristocrats of the archery world. They don't follow superficial trends and artificial technologies that disconnects oneself from nature and their self. Their true target is their self. Archery is for them a spiritual journey towards self mastery and harmony with nature.

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)

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.

big thing if you're training judo with intense training programs is to keep volumes low and stimulus consistent but not burdensome

>>249999
Checked. As other anons have said, the basic compound exercises (squat, bench, deadlift, overhead press, rows) are all good, I'd personally argue that trapbar/hexbar deadlift is a better option for most people than barbell deadlift. Farmer carries (or even holds) can be good for grip strength, hell just hold your last deadlift rep of the day for as long as you can. Like anything consistent training is key, though if you're also training martial arts you need to be careful with your programming: Alternating lifting days and martial arts days, or doing lower lifting intensity on the days you'll train martial arts, etc. I like to do a little lifting before bjj/kickboxing, but the lifting sessions in my case are very minimalist to just maintain strength I've built up over the years. Some other guys at my gym train Mon-Sat, but skip martial arts on Wednesdays to lift full body instead. Lots of different ways to do it.

deadlifts, squats, bicep curls and chest exercises are useless and counter productive

They all have different strength requirements. Grapplers need good lower back strength and strong grips and durable strong pulls, they are also very explosive as well.

Strikers need cardio and mobility

>training needs to be as realistic as possible in order for the student to have the confidence to actually do it IRL. This means real but unloaded or deactivated weapons, and even blanks for the advanced student.

>you should be careful not to look at your opponents weapon as to not arouse suspicion. Lead them to believe you are scared to death.

>In WW2 they initially taught a trick where you’d hold your hands wide apart so the gunman could only look at one and be vulnerable to attack from the other, but they stopped teaching this because the trick became known to the axis.

>wait for your opponent to get distracted. This lowers their reaction time, giving you a greater window for success.

Generally, these manuals address a lot of common critiques I see of gun disarm methods. Most online tutorials only use a couple of these points of advice, and there’s several points I’ve never seen acknowledged at all. In the youtube tutorials you can find for gun disarms, I’ve never seen any of my favorite WW2 era techniques. (Well, except for archived training videos of that era.)

What do you think, anons? Are gun disarms possible in the real world? (Expert has 51%+ chance of success) are gun disarms practical in the real world? (1 month training gives most 66%+ chance success) It’s controversial but I am inclined to believe that gun disarms are practical.

>ns held within arm’s reach of them. Here’s some of the main points I’ve noticed:
>>Even in the 1940s there were many records of police disarming criminals, criminals disarming police, injuring
>>252535
Gun disarms do work, which is why so many martial arts teach it. The main risk is that the chance that the gun will go off is high, so you are not just risking your own life if it goes wrong but also the lives of those in your surroundings if it goes right. I'd say that if you are in a secluded area, go for it; if you're in a crowd, rethink your idea.

But it´s dishonorable to do that anon!

i mean i already know skateboarding, concrete can fuck your brain any day, it's not like i'm not taking risks.
idk what about 1v1 makes me intrigued

ok fuck it im gonna keep lifting. my shoulders fucking hurt, my legs are stiff, my back is relaxed. my CNS is fried. i'm sitting in front of my cup of coffee but i don't want to drink it and be active, i'm tired of making an effort, what a bitch.
i should keep avoiding both sports. or i should express myself so i can keep on with life. idk. how did i end up thinking about punching another person? it seems so detached from what a healthy person should be thinking about. questioning my sanity rn

How do parkour niggas train to make longer jumps and land without blowing up their knees? Or how do they jump from massive heights like nothing?
Is it because they started young and are still young but their bodies will explode later on?
Obviously they do parkour and that conditions their body but do they have strength training specific to parkour, any general strength training works or what do they do alongside parkour for those jumps.

>>253165
the safe answer is by training plyometrics, lifting, crosstraining calisthenics and the like. the real answer is we just send it. don't forget that half of the athletes in our sport are too young to vote, and the other half suffer the consequences of our previous training habits. there shouldn't be anyone under the age of 25 who's had an acl surgery but i personally know at least two, due entirely to an injury sustained from either parkour or tricking and if i were a little bit more retarded, i'd also need one.

Yeah I agree, I think skateboarding is a little less forgiving than say snowboarding or wakeskating or whatever given that you're falling on concrete but you can still do it...you just gotta work your way up to the cool stuff. That being said I broke my ankle skating at 30, had to get plates and screws put in, and haven't really got back into it since but it's more of a mental thing than anything else for me

skateparks are full of teens and crackheads, not really the best of places

you misunderstand me. Like that nunchaku tournament in this thread. Sanda but add weapons.

divide it in 3 big groups
>sports
let'em do whatever they want. buy belts. kiddy shit
>martial art
bring it back to 90s and before. some do barehand only, some do some yellow guy weapons stuff you won't find irl unless you own them plus knife and stick. we keep belts but you actually earn it on a tournament and you only spend on an official certificate based on your teacher's word). KO, TKO or give up.
>martial fighting
we go OG manuals and myths. survival moves, that's it. Add current weaponry. Colored belts and light, gay uniforms are gone. Sturdy, Judo like gis that are styled like normal clothes for grappling's sake. Shoes stay on. A new, exclusive product: Roman Cestus like gloves (not the spikes kind) the Tae Kwon Do people now carry on their pockets 24/7.
Tkd is now a thing you fear and respect again...and then there's foot jabbing with a helmet for the kids

The answer is simple, get more practitioners go into mma and kickboxing the more the better because the more successful it becomes the more people will get drawn to it, this is what made bjj so successful despite being the karate/tkd of grappling.
Traditional and the asian flare are no longer enough to attract new members and the current members are content in a stagnant bubble just latching to what they know.
The only way to progress is through high level competition and that only exist in modern combat sports, this applies to any tma.

I went to my first taekwondo class tonight and it was just really casual I guess? I don't know what I was expecting, but no one was in a uniform except the two instructors, I was easily the most fit person there, the students I saw were hitting the bags really light and sloppily with no energy, and the young kid (maybe 14) I was training with just whined the entire time about being dizzy from spin kicks. Is this normal? There's only one other place in my town so this might be it for me. I'm on a 30 day free trial so i lose nothing if I don't go back

Train at home for exercise and fine-tune your techniques. Work out and get stronger when home training. Go all out once you're back in the dojo/home. Get footage of your sparring bouts. Analyze that at home and try to fix your home routine for improvement.

If you go to a school and learn, don't you usually get homework? You can definitely get "good" by training by yourself

The real trick is that you only train what you actually know. Stop trying to learn new stuff alone, just train your limited knowledge to its peak physicality. A teacher would recognize it and give you something new to work on when you visit. That's like... krotty 101.

Do you think breakfalls can be trained alone? I’ve tried and I tend to slam my lower back against the ground which doesn’t seem right but since I lack a teacher I don’t actually know for sure.

Sure, you can even do it with zero equipment if you're okay with the kung fu mindset, which is pretty much doing huge numbers of reps in order to build up to increasingly more difficult movements. You don't learn how to kill people right away but your body becomes a weapon capable of that based on level of daily effort.
