Just copped an electric board. What am I in for?
>>264282I'm afraid somebody is going to ask to ride it and then just steal it from me so I'm going to have to awkwardly say no to people or just ignore them
>>264060Some long shred sessions!And by shred sessions, I mean rough, gay, anal sex.
>>264060return it and get a bike. this shit is just autistic af. At least get one of those electronic bikes
>>264567It literally just got here today. I thought about the electric bike because it goes 10 mph faster but it costs $1,000 more so I decided not to. Just got home and put it on the charger right now, will let you know how it rides in a few hours if anyone cares lol
>>264568seems like a cool invention to mewhy not?and why care at all what the bell curve thinks
Started Judo about a month ago and I've been really struggling desu, more so than I feel I should. I'm not out of shape either, I have some of the best cardio in the whole class. It's just that the level of athleticism required for judo is much higher than I anticipated, and I feel I seriously lack the coordination and flexibility to properly execute many of the throws (I've yet to get one legitimately clean throw yet desu). Would BJJ be better for a guy like me? I've only done ne waza like twice but the times I have done it I felt it came much more naturally to me than the other aspects of judo.
>>267125The quotes were so stupid that I thought they might be fake. So I looked them up to see if he even actually said that ridiculous shit and turns out he did. Having said that, the level of insecurity completely checks out for BJJ.
>>261550Just wait till you try to get out of closed guard or pass guard against a blue belt or higher. You will be just as bad as you are now.>>261627You really have to be proactive and not worry about hurting yourself.>>261959As someone that does both Judo is several times harder. Throws hurt even if you breakfall, it's easier to get hurt and trying to drag someone across the mat and throw them is harder than passing guard and sitting on them.
>>265977basically no bjj classes cover much or any takedowns. It's an extra liability it's much harder to drill into people casually.
>>267038Just show up, judo is designed to get you in shape. A judo instructor told me that he's had parents drop off teenagers who needed to be coached through the movement of a situp because they had really been that completely sedentary up until that point and lacked the coordination for that simple movement. If you manage to clear that bar you'll be fine to start.
>>261550There's no way they're teaching you the shit that takes athleticism in the first month as a raw beginner. You're not flipping through the air back onto your feet, doing double-counters, and doing shi-ai paced snapdowns. A black belt in BJJ and a year in judo tells me that 99% I think you just don't know judo very well yet. It's not supposed to come naturally to you; it's a sport and it contains unnatural feeling movements. Either one will make you into a fine martial artist, but if you keep switching around when it gets difficult instead of letting it mold you then you're going to be mediocre in both and everything else in your life until you can focus.
Is in board any freediver/spearfisher constantly doing solo diving? Personally, I don't go more than 7 meters while solo diving. What do you guys do for safety (shallow-water blackout, nets) while soloing, and do you have any recommendations?
>>266634I always go spearfish solo as I struggle to find people available. Best advice is simply not to go alone obviously, look up forums, Facebook groups etc. If anything happens, you are going to die, no way around it.Know your limits and never overdo it, and most importantly, do NOT hyperventilate before a dive (rapidly breathing in and out), this will delay your physiological response to CO2 and may result in a blackout. Simply take a few deep breaths, exhaling more air than you inhale.Lastly, I suggest you buy a dive watch, I got a used Mares Smart apnea for 80 euros this summer, it's great, tells you depth, temperature, dive time etc, it helps you track your performance and know where your limit is.And bring a knife and signalling buoy, the latter is mandatory here and should be everywhere, every year you get people killed by boats.
Hey fellas, so yeahI’m 32, I’ve been training MMA for almost 3 years, usually 5 days a week, and it’s become a pretty central part of my life. I’m supposed to compete for the first time in November.A week ago I injured my foot during sparring. It’s the first serious injury I’ve had, and an X-ray showed a small fracture in my 3rd metatarsal. Luckily it seems stable, and the pain is getting better every day. I can walk for 10-15 minutes, but I’m still sidelined for a few weeks.What makes it especially frustrating is that I feel like I had finally reached a point where I was becoming one of the more competitive and technical guys at my gym. I started out pretty terrible, so seeing that progress over almost 3 years has meant a lot to me I’m not just worried about losing my fitness, but also losing some of that momentum and technique I worked so hard to build.I’m going to use the downtime to focus on my career in video production, but I’m struggling more mentally with being unable to train than I expected.For those of you who’ve had to take time off MMA/BJJ/boxing because of an injury, how did you deal with it mentally, and what did you do to maintain your conditioning and skills without making the injury worse? I can't deny a part of me just says "fuck it just wait another week and train like this" but I’m trying not to turn a few weeks off into a much longer injury because I got impatient.
>>268317>Looks like someone got outplayed too many times and knows he can never git gud at anything
>>267760You can probably still get s&c in. I had an avulsion fracture and I could still squat but I stopped when I realized how compromised my stance was, didn't stop low impact cardio on the bike or any upper body lifting though. Not sure how different metatarsal breaks are but I can relate to the mental pain of having a bum foot. You can probably still stretch pretty thoroughly too
>>267760rub comfrey onto your foot and make surethe nutrition you eat is up to parlentils, pumpkins, turmeric + fresh black pepperthose help somelook into comfrey and if you dont have that aroundor cant get it in time then look in your yard forplantain. they are incredible plants
also nettles urtication and cayenne both helpwith nerve signal modulation
>>267760Vitamin D3 + K2 (10k iu / day)K2 sequesters calcium, and makes the Vit D bioavailable. Master immune nutrient + more harder bones. Magnesium wouldn't hurt for sleep/recovery either. Whatever the injury, you can probably exert yourself more while swimming. And if it isn't a leg or back thing, LIGHT ruck marches are good for holistic endurance training.
Mountain Biking General Guess we should make a new if any of the regular anons still want to post about mtbing and haven't fucked off completely from this website. Spring-time in the NH so I guess those that don't bother riding in the winter will be getting back out now.
>>267187>I wanted to sit further back on it.this is likely a fitness and skill issue. you're too far back on that and as you make progress and try harder features it's going to throw you otb because of that at some point.
Perhaps youre right. I could try removing the seatpost dropback and just change my posture.. its just after it got this bike my ass kept hanging off the back of the seat. Its as though thats where my legs were in the most neutral position. Perhaps its just my shape. I dunno. For whatever reason the bike fits me OK now with the seat moved back. I also have a really sweet polygon Entiat TR8 hardtail. Its a bike from 2019 so its long been since discontinued. Its a plus tire. 3.0" wide w/ 27.5" wheel. I love that bike.. now with that one I didnt feel the need to tweak it. I get a really good fit on polygon bikes right out of the box. Though, its sad that its seen a lot less love since I got GT full sus. Im yearning to take it back out for some rides. It climbes like a breeze. The plus tire allows some seriously low psi. I can usually run 14 to 16 psi on those plus tires. Oodles of grip. Currently, the seat isnt tightened and it has a 60mm stem on it that doesn't work well but im maybe gonna tune it up and put its original stem back on..
Thought I’d post a couple of pics from today’s ride. t. On me hols

Basically the Road Rash game but on foot.Dodgeball with bocce.Polo but with rodeo horses.Water polo but the water is slightly acidic so your skin and eyes start to burn after a while and you can only get out (rotating with other team members) once you score.Any motor sport but without brakes.Soccer with bowling balls.Squash but the room is so narrow and you can get hit by the other player's racket.Comment too long.

>>271396I can just ollie on and off the manual pad. The walls are too steep for me to wall ride evenThis park feels boring, so I thought I'd ask
>>271397>The walls are too steep for me to wall ride evenYou can make it up there with speed, I'm a newb and did it on a whim, the getting off part is what's difficult. If you've really dialed in ollieing off the manual pad you could ollie off the top.
>>271397wallie up it. just go fast and jump/go weightless up the thing

If you could only teach your daughter one martial art for self-defence, what would it be?
>>267441This, dressing not-immodestly, Noticing, Muay Tai + Greco-Roman.

>>263901Avoiding niggers
All striking art is useless if you have no knockout power.
>>270890Striking includes defense too, which is arguably more important, especially when you can't hit hard.
Ladies look amazing when they grapple
>>269510Ya sucks to lose a collection, especially for hidden gems. I do agree that theres an arching aspect to it as well. Many orgs went out of business before internet video streaming platforms and social media became a big thing. You may find clips here and there on sites, but those are often low quality uploads published years ago, or reuploads of the originals (further ruining video/sound quality). My collecting is more recent, but I also am making a habit to try and upload to cloud so I have a backup copy. The originals go on to ssd. In the past you'd use harddrives but those are unreliable.
>>261880Is it cringe/creepy to get turned on when grappling with women? I started BJJ recently and the beginner class had this smoking hot 19-20y/o college girl who was a tiny 5'0" asian with thick thighs and tight boobs. Soaked in sweat, barefeet, blood running hot. It was like Heaven rolling around with her pressing her steamy body against mine and feeling her legs wrap around me. I rubbed one out to the memories 3 times that week.
>>270172god I wish that was me
>>270172Damn. Nogi here in brazil only has guys.
>>261880Mixed wrestling and mixed fighting are my favourite categories. God bless Evolved Fights.
I'm a lightweight, (1.78m, 60kg), i've been going to judo for some months now, I'm liking it a lot, but, is it comparable/better to wrestling? Especially for a guy my size, I always thought wrestling would be useless as from what I know, it uses a lot of raw strength, while judo (though it still uses strength) is better suited for taking down heavier/stronger people. Is this right? Should I try doing some wrestling? I find judo very good but also sometimes limited by the sport
>>241734I'm not good at judo by any means, training 2 years, and I can pretty convincingly ragdoll more athletic white belts. I admit part of it is they are scared, I might get smashed by someone who has 50 lbs on me and is going apeshit
Suplexing ragatha
>>235167>In wrestling you would call it a headlock takedownActually head and arm throw
>>242564I actually do wrestling. yes they are rule, but it's in my opinion more fun than BJJ and more intuitive and free than judo at the start.
>>242818as someone who do both wrestling and sambo, don't try a Khurka/gi throw with normal clothes
I just want the assurance that I can defend myself should it come to that INB4 get a gun, I live in Canada so I can't. I'm thinking about joining an MMA gym to do all of it but I don't think I would be able to put in the requisite time for both grappling and striking training while still lifting and doing cardio. If it is possible please tell me because I plan on going to the fighting classes 3-4 times a week, also please give me info on how much to spar including hard sparring, I want to get decent as fast as possible
>>264617Broooo is he still out there doing his thing? I was actually subscribed to his yt for a time until it slowly dawned on me that he is unhinged.
>>259979Good post.I might qualify "kickboxing" with "preferably muay thai".And if you've got some more time, I'd recommend a _little_ bit of wrestling, enough to cover the fundamentals even if you won't become good enough to match an actual/practicing wrestler.A real wrestler is exceedingly unlikely to be attacking anyone without good reason. No need to devote time for that possibility.But if you're on the ground with a wrong 'un, you'll be a whole lot better off if you have some muscle memory in grappling.
>>251752Learn to manage your temper and ego, deescalation and situational awareness. Be large, physically fit and intimidating to the common thug. Be able and willing to run away the moment the situation presents itself.Get a pepper spray, maglite, collapsible baton(don't fucking blindly baseball swing it, wrist flick the tip at their hands and face like you're throwing a jab from a distance), then do some stand-up grappling and striking if you still have the juice.
>>263967turtle is the easiest ground position to stand up from, bottom guard is the hardest one. this is ten times true if striking is involved. your argument is invalid.
>>251752MMA/sambo/Daido
Why are BJJ channels such obnoxious faggots?
>>270279Naww dude they got bullied in school bro they would lose if the guy had a gun I'd just kick them in the nuts bro
>>261807>winning unarmed fightsrealistically? MMA, but it's not a martial art but a moniker for a complete system combining multiple different martial arts together which requires you mastering them individually to some extent. MMA training just streamlines the process by picking and focusing on the most applicable techniques within its context that require the least training and specialization to pull off, due to the enormous training cost associated with it.failing that, >>261809 is correct and striking+clinch martial arts will teach you to take hits, avoid taking hits, hit back and some basic grappling to not be completely stunned when hugged. various upright grappling martial arts are good too, might even be better strategically for "winning" but pure wrestlers often lose composure and skill after taking hits they aren't really trained to defend against before closing in. >or at least the best at improving your odds in a real life fighttalk-no-jutsu and a gun. failing that, >>>269103 . real life fights aren't a good thing to get into and even a good martial arts background won't improve your chances by much if the circumstances change, be it weapons, guy's pals, terrain you're unused for, your own physical condition and so on.
>>248945they are both doodgleniggers
>>248375Ecelebs are obnoxious faggots. Brazilians are obnoxious faggots. Redditors are obnoxious faggots. When an eceleb covers a Brazilian sport populated by redditors you can expect obnoxious faggotry. >>270532Peak favela nigger mindset.
BJJ faggots aren't half as annoying as muay thai niggers tbqh.
