Most martial arts technique is useless in MMA or no rules fighting. Most wrestling grips, judo, bjj techniques go out the windowIt becomes 99% of the time the most simple boxing/kickboxing and the simplest takedowns and submissions
>>251437the only reason to learn how to fight is to defend yourself. knowing what works practically in a street fight with no rules is paramount for yours survival. one punch in the head can kill you if youre not careful.
>>256013everything in that video was completely correct
>>248348what is this comment hahahaha
A lot of martial arts are useless in a real fight, a lot of martial arts become dangerous in a real fight.BJJ is bad in a real fight. When you're actively looking for an opportunity to be on the ground, you're going to get stabbed to death.Judo is extremely good in a real fight because it works on everything and it's not flowery or showy or anything.I went to a bar once, there was a guy that knew judo. I wasn't friends with him, but I knew him enough, we talked once. A guy was fucking with him outside, clearly drunk, but the guy that was fucking with him was bigger than he was and was acting big and threatening and shit. The big guy started throwing these big wild punches at judo guy's head, the judo guy did a takedown on him and the big guy instantly went into decerebrate rigidity. It was the most shocking thing I ever saw in my life. I don't know what happened to either of them.
I like boxing because I know how it feels to get punched and keep my distances, also to not completely freak out when shit hits the fan.I walk around with a pepper spray and keep an eye on my surroundings (non-whites), it's the best I can do because I'm europoor, I never expected martial arts to be useful.
I want to try out skiing in new places in North America, anyone got any good recommendations on where is should go or try out?
>>262065Mountain High and Big Bear
>>262065>I want to try out skiing in new places in North AmericaToo expensive and too crowded. Venture capitalists bought out all the big ones and ruined it for everyone. Dont waste your time. There is a good explanation of it on yootube, it was based on the ski patrol strike at Vail as a starting point.
>>262065what kind of skiing do you like?
Trollhaugenimagine skiing anything but park. yikes.
Most overrated Skateboarder of all time. All this dude ever did was ollie, no comply, boneless, and caveman boardslides. He couldn't grind for shit, couldn't manual for shit. All his parts suck ass. How he was ever considered like a great legend I will never know.

~~Tokyo Climbing Edition~~>Where do I start?People typically start in the gym and branch off outdoors and find their niche, be it bouldering, trad, sport or a mixture of the above. Some never leave the gym at all. Ultimately it doesn't matter - just get started and enjoy yourself.>How fit do I have to be to start? Do I have to be able to do x amount of pull-ups?Being light, strong and flexible helps at the higher levels but climbing is open to almost anyone and is fairly intuitive to most. Even if your body is feeble and weak now, you will develop strength over time by virtue of just climbing. Climbing is a holistic sport and success often hinges upon many factors, not just strength and power, but having these qualities definitely helps when you breach into the higher grades.>What shoes do I buy?If you're starting out in the gym, don't worry too much: get some snug shoes without dead space that don't cause you lasting pain. Some people (such as the famed shoe designer Heinz Mariacher) recommend wearing soft shoes when you're starting out -- this makes sense since your footwork will probably suck and the increased feedback will pay dividends over time. You really don't need fancy expensive shoes when you're starting out, but certain shoe properties help send harder problems (e.g. stiff shoes for standing on tiny granite edges or soft shoes for sandstone/gritstone smears).Here are some useful resources for sizing:>https://sizesquirrel.com/>https://rockrun.com/blogs/the-flash-rock-run-blog/rock-climbing-shoe-sizing-guideComment too long.

>>265395well it is 80° and 90% humidity, and it's also raining intermittently 24/7. but god forbid I go into the city and be forced to talk to someone so I'm out here anyway. protection is an absolute joke. nothing but ancient rusted pitons (on a seaside crag). the anchors are bolted at least... feast your eyes. P2 anchors had steel carabiners and they were undergoing done kind of chemical reaction such that I could gouge chunks off them like chalk.
Everyone talks about finger strength but what about toe strength?I took a small break and now not only I can't hold shit, I also can't stand on anything.
>>265970I've noticed my toes get sore on days where I slab climb for hours. Toe adaptations are for sure a thing. Makes me want to do ballet exercises, where I weigh my toe as much as I can
>>265970>>265979Get stiffer shoes. Anyone who says soft shoes are better for slab is an idiot
>>266011Hey dipshit, have you ever tried to climb a slick friction slab in stiff shoes? Theres a time and place for each style.
Does bjj teach you anything useful?
>>253964That's only true if you're 5'3
>>220100It seems they teach you many ways to "present yourself" to your opponent in many environments, as to reduce injuries from the repeated, vigorous and certainly consensual, penetrations of said opponent.
>>220100it teaches me everynight that i am a worthless piece of shit with no ability to learn any grappling whatsoever

Is sky diving an extreme sport?
>>256377it's not that extreme when anyone can do it
>>256826the admins are not the arbiters of truth
>>256851AFF Instructor here.,...not everyone can do it. We fail about 30% of the people to the point of telling them to take up another sport.
>>256851Please try swooping or freeflying and tell me it's not extreme and that anyone can do it
>>256377Getting circumcized is an extreme sport
Imagine being so hated they design infrastructure against you
>>242478no, its because skaters devalue shit by skating on it and loitering around in general. they arent a net benefit financially
>>244183you sound like an insane asshole. the world would be better without people like you
>>242468>duuuude!! I'm so cool!!! I'm a street skater, I just skate the urban environment maaaaan!!! just like in muh gonz videos from 40 years ago!!! I'm an artist, I just go with the flow an sheeeiiiiitttttt>what, the urban environment isn't exactly the same as it was in muh 40 year old gonz video? >NOOOOOOOOO!!!!>I can't evolve and go with the flow like that>dats not fair!!!so basically you're a skatepark faggot, you need an environment that is designed (intentionally or accidentally) to accommodate skating, if you were a real street skater you'd be able to cope with whatever obstacles the urban environment presentstl;dr you're a faggot
>>264014i meam the biggest problem is that every modern infrastructure redevelopment is incredibly lame and gay
>>242468I think this is more about stopping hobos than skaters.
I think the most legendary ones were Tyson (he would need to get out of prison) and Karelin but it's rather obvious that Tyson would lose due to lack of grappling skills. Karelin would be more serious threat to the Gracies because he would toss them around easily but Idk if he would be able to actually end the fight.
>>261710>Those guys are the same generation you're talking about from prideThey didn't participate in Pride, did they? Or are you saying those are old retired Pride champions? Cause I don't see Cro Cop nor Don Frye nor Sakuraba in these fucking clips.Also even if you were correct and these were some peak fucking athletes who secretly dominated the hidden tournament in my 90s, again see again my point of "just because Mike Tyson now fights like a geriatric now does not mean he was never a good fighter" you fucking idiot. But even then, they aren't, these are some random old dudes, unless one of these is a Gracie, but again, they've all been fraud checked in Pride by Sakuraba. Also what part of most BJJ practitioners being frauds do you not understand? Hell, the UFC is awful now because it's dominated by BJJfaggots and shitty mediocre Kickboxers, the latter of whom would easily be mogged by Andy Hug if he were still alive, or even Nicholas Pettas. >Back in those days everyone was equally bad at fighting so they looked impressiveYour proof is...a bunch of old BJJ geriatric practitioners? (With no context as to whether or not they are actual veterans or just a bunch of old dudes that started recently)Jesus christ, no wonder the stereotype of modern UFC fans being braindead still rings fucking true.
Jon Jones>>261726>the UFC is dominated by frauds and shitty fightersebin. how are they dominating if they dont know how to fight?
>>261711He's a big fat phoney just like all the resthttps://youtube.com/shorts/wq2-tRa61qk?si=Hm53LcbucUtbvBkk
>>261870>ebin. how are they dominating if they dont know how to fight?First of all, nice misquote of what I said. You know what I said was more nuanced than that. Secondly, the problem is Dana White's low payments and the UFC's low standards.Look at Rizin, Pride or even Kickboxing places like ONE or K-1. They all have professional well-paid fighters, most of which are diverse in their styles and systems as well. Dana White pays his fighters peanuts, as such desperate tattooed low-income men who speedrun their skills get in to get some sort of quick buck. Sure there's a few great fighters here and there. But the majority of fighters that get into the UFC nowadays are just very meh. This should be obvious to anyone who actually watches shit other than the UFC.
>>261875Nah. Despite posting some weird stuff on his instagram/youtube like that, and having some weird beliefs outside of martial arts, he's extremely legit.

Ultimate Tazer BallThis was a real thing
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
Is Summerfest as fun as they hype it to be?
make sure you guys get your repacks before the season starts
any Spaceland Dallas jumpers?
>>258054not on this board sadly.
How the fuck did Sketchy Andy die and Lane Paquin is still alive wtf?
Why is skydiving considered an "extreme sport", it's literally just falling down.
>>258975how hard is it to pack a parachute and not have it fail? genuinely asking, seems like a pretty basic thing
>>257797wingsuit flying is the shiiiiiiiithttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChpGDDw-Ix0
>>261603not hard. When the manufacturer has their riggers try to pack an intentional malfunction so they can slowmo video the opening and get a better idea of whats going on, it opened without problems 70% of the time.I have had friends toss a canopy into the wind and it works fine.
>>261603How hard is it to tie a bungee rope to someone
>>263935Extremely easy. There is no regulations of industry watch dog for bungee jumping. If you can afford the LLC and the bungee cord, you can start a business.
I want to learn something that would actually teach me how to use a weapon, near me they have fencing, eskrima and kendo. Of these three which one would have the most real life applicability?
>>247909Like thisJames LaFond is a practical fighterhttps://youtu.be/KaMCKSEkHS4?is=L4wfJ44oRJ711GJX
>>262310Yes and no. The gross motor movements are similar, but they don't translate 1:1.
>>200593No sword art is made to be used on a fucking battlefield, I don't even understand where this myth comes from. Martial arts are for duel and street self defense scenarios, not battle.
>>263345>No sword art is made to be used on a fucking battlefieldIf you think people were carrying greatswords for duels and self-defense in alleyways, then you are retarded.
>>263374Lmao, all the montante sources we have are about either dueling (Marozzo's spadone) or crowd control in a street situation when bodyguarding (Godinho's montante).Sure, the *weapon* was used on the battlefield (to some extent, not exactly clear how much), but the art associated with it is 100% not about battlefield use.
