>>237913love thps and playing the remaster but it feels like shit. needs butt slaps and boostplants ASAP
>>>/v/I downloaded the originals and play them in HD with mods. The original music is way to nostalgic. Not paying money for a reskinned 20 yr old game.

A popular Alaskan climber fell to his death from Yosemite National Park’s El Capitan, marking the third death in the park this summer.Balin Miller, 23, died in a climbing accident Wednesday, his mother Jeanine Girard-Moorman confirmed.“He’s been climbing since he was a young boy,” she said. “His heart and soul was truly to just climb. He loved to climb and it was never about money and fame.”https://apnews.com/article/yosemite-climber-death-balin-miller-2b30976fd38680bcdbf7761ece3c0e5f?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-us
>>244249trueliterally no climber knows how to correctly belay and correctly use a GriGri, it's fucking ridiculous
>>244268all truebut sometimes the rock where the belay anchor is set just explodes. and sometimes rocks just fall from above. and other times there is just no way to make a clean fall and you smash the rock. you can do everything right and still die or get severely injured.the sport got popular thanks to climbing gyms, but the truth is that it's a dangerous sport.
>>244335>LOL the internet scrubbed something as small as thistons of clickbait youtube videos with no actual videololand the legit video is just the dude falling, not e.g. smashing on the ground, so, yeah, quite ridiculous

40+ anons. What martial arts do you train? When did you start? Do you train/lift outside of martial arts? I'm looking to get back into judo/boxing but i'm an old fat piece of shit right now. Any suggestions for training smart as an old guy?
Im 35, Im advanced in Karate, Muay Thai, Boxing and wrestling. I could easily break the ribcage of an untrained weakling and confident enough to go toe to toe with anyone within my height range +/- 40lbs.
>>243996Judo, fencing, escrima. All very casually. I've done some kind of martial arts since I was a teenager and I've never had to diet or do normal exercise before, but I've been a fattie in a desk job for the past 12 years and it's left my body broken and embarrassing. I don't have much time or money but I do what I can. Sometimes my back will start hurting so much I have to stop and stretch. I do weightlifting and cardio at the gym to try and keep up with the younger guys. I've never had to do that before. Before I'd just get fit from doing the martial art. As a lowly office worker I need all the exercise I can get. Since I'm fat I outweigh most everyone so it's not like I'm easy to push around or anything. Experience counts for a lot too. Most guys I train with are young and thin, but that also means inexperienced and lightweight. Still, it's all very discouraging, knowing that I can fight these kids but I can't fight Father Time. But it's still a million times more interesting than just lifting and jogging. All physical traits are use it or lose it, even if you're young. Mental traits too, I guess. You gotta always be doing something. Stillness is stagnation, movement is lubrication.
>>244198I'm trying to go slow. I'm about a week into 5x5 Stronglifts. I'm going to wait a couple of months before I start judo again because I should probably lose some weight before rolling around. I hurt my back doing barbell rolls on stronglifts before, had to take a break from lifting and judo. If I get hurt again, i'm thinking i'll just start doing body weight exercises and muay thai, and try to lose more weight than i'd like. I'm going to start incorporating yoga to help with flexibility and tendons and all that. but yeah right now the plan is to go slow, build muscle and flexibility and lose a little weight.>>244205thx anon, i might look it up. i'm trying to not overload myself with info because that's an endless road to go down. the guy on the cover looks at least 60 lol.>>244343that's a hell of a work load, good for you man. i'm mainly interested in judo/jujitsu for grappling and muay thai for striking. I wish kung fu worked because it looks cool as fuck. part of me died inside when I was younger and realized kung fu is worthless for defense, but I do recognize it's mental and physical attributes.>>244482i love fencing, i took a few classes when i was younger. i wish i had endless time and money to be able to train all the things i want. but you can only walk one path at a time i guess. I'm overweight and out of shape and i'm trying to fix that, but i haven't really had any physical issues at all, other than popping something in my back a while ago while doing barbell rows. i go back and forth between deciding whether or not to stay kind of big/chunky but strong and focus on grappling, or losing more weight to get more limber to prevent injuries.
>>244209THANKS FOR THE MILK, MARK>>243996Judo will teach you how to fall. That's why I would place it before boxing, that's not to say that you shouldn't do boxing.
>>244482>I'm fat>>>/fit/76077351>>>/fit//fat/>>244561>I should probably lose some weight >>>/fit/76077351>>>/fit//fat/>thx anon, i might look it up. i'm trying to not overload myself with info because that's an endless road to go down.If you're already dealing with training injuries I might suggest either pirating or buying a digital copy and doing a Ctrl+f search for recommendations around that specific injury (it doesn't have everything but it has some of the common ones). I used my digital copy as a reference before buying a physical copy to read outright. Pic related are some excerpts I was discussing with a friend who was struggling to bench with a recurring shoulder injury.>>244578>Judo will teach you how to fall. That's why I would place it before boxingVery solid suggestion. It sounds like OP used to do judo so he should already know how to drill ukemi. Adding this to his daily routine could do a lot towards injury prevention.
First episode is out.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCsR-zxwN1Y>What is the Ultimate Self-Defense Championship?A bit over a year ago, former Aikidoka YouTuber Rokas Leo set up a tournament with a self-defense "academy" to have himself and five other martial arts YouTubers compete to see who is best at self-defense. It was a hilarious shitshow that nearly crippled one of the contestants, Ramsey Dewey who would later get into an internet spat with the guy behind the academy (Jeff Phillips) and described the entire event as "piss poor" due to poor management, an incoherent and arbitrary scoring system, running on a very limited schedule, and timing events terribly (like having a zombie apocalypse-themed event that didn't influence score in the middle of the entire thing instead of at the end or something) and doing comically dangerous shit like making people fight on a narrow bridge a good 30ft above the ground.Somehow, he kickstarted a second one, which features even less martial arts YouTubers.
>>244436My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined
>>244436>he had lots of boxing training and was about to become semi-proHe was, more specifically, a prison boxer a la Kimbo Slice and allegedly treated it as a "hobby" whereas I believe trucking was his primary profession.>That being said, he was much better than the German video game streamer who pretends to be a Chinese monk.Ranton only calls himself a monk in clickbait titles, he explicitly states in videos he was a shaolin disciple and never became a monk or warrior-monk. The thing he's more fraudulent about is saying he's full-blown Chinese when he's at best ethnically Chinese and primarily spent his life living in Germany and speaking primarily French and Asian. He can't even read Chinese and needs Chinese friends to help.
>>244521>primarily French and AsianFrench and German, had a brainfart.
>>244521>and allegedly treated it as a "hobby" whereas I believe trucking was his primary profession.That is what semi-pro means; fighting is not his job, but they find him matches with other people who don't have pro licenses.>Ranton only calls himself a monk in clickbait titlesI am aware, but the self-defense competition misled the viewers by claiming a trained guy had no training and a guy with no training was trained in Kung Fu (likely to make Kung Fu look bad, as if the Chinese aren't doing that without this show's help).
>>244436>boxing trainingI thought he was one of the students of the "self defense" dojo hosting the event?

I have shekels to burn and have no other hobbytell me why I shouldn't do paramotoring
iv done both, got into paragliding to get good skills for paramotoring, with paramotoring i got annoyed with the amount messing you have with gear, your engine needs servicing all the time, i bought my one new and the throttle stuck on one of my take offs about 4 weeks in, so killed the engine landed and from that day it just seemed endless money pit with seals goin, bolts coming loose... this was new after all a touch of lock tight costs nothing. As for the paragliding thats epic, when you catch your first thermal you will be hooked, flying with birds never gets old and the view with out the ridiculous noise is always sweet
In the video he was flying at full speed trim out, altitude is your friend when flying, if something goes wrong low you won't have time for any input apart from shitting yourself., so looks like his right side had a small tuck, but at full bar the wing wouldn't recover, you can get some really good en-a wings and low en-b wings (they will recover themselves if you just go hands up and power off) but this guy was fill throttle.
>>235271>>235287Yeah playing with your phone that low is just stupid, IF he had his hands on the controls he MAY have saved it.

European riders are arguably the more skilled of the two, riding on gnarlier tracks and outdoors only. Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-BleZkNdEU&t=1527sYet, European pros themselves still watch AMA more growing up. We do nothing to make it more presentable. The tracks are diarrhea with some plastic poles to mark where to go.Why are we like this?
>European riders are arguably the more skilled of the twoNo. Your defending champion Jorge Prado came to the US and is getting 5-8.>European pros themselves still watch AMA more growing upBecause euroop is culturally irrelevant.>We do nothing to make it more presentableI agree most MXGP tracks are ugly and forgettable.>Why are we like this?Genetics.

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
>>244200>This is more of a demonstration of skill than pure strength. The base throw works by pulling your opponent a big off balance, tripping them over your hips, and guiding them to the ground with your arms:It's been over a decade since I've done any judo, but I feel like you could resist this by wrapping yourself around your opponent surely?Or would that be against the rules?
>>244204>It's been over a decade since I've done any judo, but I feel like you could resist this by wrapping yourself around your opponent surely?There are counters to every throw. The trick is to use them in a context where they're not going to be countered. This is a common throw in judo and wrestling so it's not particularly gimmicky. >Or would that be against the rules?You can do that but if your balance is adequately broken it's not going to work. If your balance isn't adequately broken you can turn it into a solid counter throw:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fgi9b8DJ5sQ
>>244212>There are counters to every throw. The trick is to use them in a context where they're not going to be counteredI don't mean in the sense of a judo counter, because I understand that in sports judo the scoring system is somewhat artificial in the way it scores knockdowns, I mean that even if you end up at the bottom of a pin the choke is backwards for applying pressure to the neck and you're in a position to apply a reverse choke right?I'm sure getting slammed into concrete rather than a mat would hurt more (and if you didn't know any break falls then you're probably going to get badly injured) but I feel like even if the throw is successful it's not decisive
>>244223>you're in a position to apply a reverse choke right?Not really, you'd have to break the pin before being in a position to try a choke. Your only option on the mat is to fight into position to roll out of it (you do kind of wrap around your opponent for some of these techniques, perhaps that what you meant) and your only extra options off the mat are to pull a weapon or try to fish for an eye gouge (however, the person applying the pin is in a better position to pull a weapon, employ an eye gouge, or switch to a more serious attack). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_TS0YHdxcQhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEmKk3m8nwEI've used this pin to subdue people off the mat who needed a moment to calm down and rethink their life choices after trying to hit me. I've used it when sparring with weapons to isolate my opponent's weapon hand, strip the weapon, and resume an armed attack against an unarmed opponent. It's very effective and it gives you the ability to scale force from lightly controlling someone to absolutely crushing the air out of their lungs (if they're not a grappler used to that kind of pressure, which most people aren't). It's my favorite pin in judo, my favorite pin off the mat, and one of my favorite pins in wrestling (stacking someone up on his neck with a double chicken wing is a little more entertaining).

>>242468Skaters unironically destroyed the social concept of "older automatically the boss of younger" way more than rock n roll fags. >with a skateboard I can talk shit to whoever I want>there's probably people I can talk shit to around hereI was just a poser that skated for travel, but we would skate for hours and be all tired and see some guy guy walking or something and just yell "hey fuck you!" and people would typically get mad and maybe chase and that would give us the energy we needed to continue. Your friends don't want to leave somewhere? Throw a bottle or some shit at a moving truck driving by and force everybody to run. It was all stupid as fuck and made nobody better, but it kept us out of real trouble for the most part. It's the retards that fell on property like this skating and sued that messed it up for everybody btw.
>>244183No, it was retarded faggots like you who ruined it for everyone who just wanted to skate.
Does bjj teach you anything useful?
>>220100bj is extremely usefulthe extra j is completely redundant
>>220100Bro, be smaller than people and decent grapple, you can beat the biggest guys around cause they all wanna shoot on the little guy and man handle him. 9/10 when I wrestle somebody bigger they end up shooting right into my arm, i lock them up and torque back after wrapping my legs and they can't lift anymore. Guillotine within 15 seconds no problem. Rear naked, kimora, or armbar typically hits after a miss with guillotine cause they have to drop into full guard. This is just backyard shit with the bros that train though. We didn't typically want to hurt each other. People never want to fight me, and I don't like to fight so it works out. I'm sure knowing that I can hit him or choke him to sleep gives my attitude something that others can identify. I can tell when somebody else isn't fucking around too. It helps with your reaction to the confrontation of violence which helps with the outcome majorly. If somebody starts choking a normie they are going to die lol. If somebody starts choking a bjj decently trained dude he's going to remain calm like another day on the mat and likely manuever out. It's just about being equipped to deal with the situation. A guy my size threatens me? It's very unintimidating because I know I can outskill somebody with 40+ pounds on me, 60 once. So this guy is going to get broken apart if he is completely untrained. It would be horrific. I would probably just gain control and try to talk him out of it. That's what it teaches you.
>>242961Royce Gracie retired 15-2-3. He is inarguably the best grappler that ever existed in the UFC. If he was around now with the array of training that exists he would easily be 20-0. I fucking hate Royce Gracie with a passion because he said he tries to hurt his opponents badly, but you can't talk shit about his skill level you stupid fuck.
>>244188>He is inarguably the best grappler that ever existed in the UFC>you can't talk shit about his skill level you stupid fuck.I did call him one of the best in my comments. Are you just illiterate? Were you unable to comprehend...>"Gracie, arguably one of the world's best BJJ practitioners with an 82% win rate at one point,">If he was around now with the array of training that exists he would easily be 20-0I respectfully disagree; he was a BJJ purist,st and the MMA people of today who incorporate Judo, Wrestling, and BJJ would beat that purist's ass.

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.

Ank did very well the first fight and Poatan took that personally. An incredible performance from him. I think Poatan should fight Ulberg next. I feel for Sandhagen, he is a great fighter but not elite. Gave Merab a tough contest but ultimately Merab is in his prime and undeniable. Rest of the card was OK.

I know the japanese tourism and animation industry have a lot to thank toriyama for, but something underrated is how much the martial arts industry has to thank him forfact is it wouldn't be nearly as popular of a hobby as it is if this show never existed since it's the thing that inspired so many kids to get involvedso ITT we will discuss all things related to our training and self improvement and helping each otherexercises, training routines, diets, motivation, etc.work hard, study well, and eat and sleep plenty
