Is 24 too old to go pro in MMA? I've been a miserable loser all my life and if I succeeded in this, could I retroactively justify the pain or something? My stats>5'11", natural light or welterweight>between 183-185cm wingspan>roughly intermediate or above strength on all major lifts>sadly no wrestling in high school (no bitches either)>trained for a year in the past, went all in on striking and picked up some grappling/jiu jitsu too>lonely, isolated friendless khhv for years nowI don't even care about my life anymore, this could be the only thing that could justify my existence. But I fear I'll never be able to catch up to the ones who went all in from birth.
I'm 28, always been a couch lardass, if I begin now will I ever be good enough to learn ma for self defense?
>>241004Yes. Learn how to fight with a pistol, too.
>>241005Nice. Maybe against a gun, firearms are illegal where I live except for hunting rifles
>>241007If the legal risk of being armed were greater than the physical risk of being unarmed I probably wouldn't carry a pistol, either. How are other weapon and self-defense laws? Unarmed combat in a self-defense scenario often determines who gets to have the advantage in the imminent armed combat so arming yourself ahead of time can be advantageous.
>>241010The reason I want to learn unarmed ma is because the laws here are retarded.You can carry certain types of knives that are deemed "not weapons" as tools. You can have bats or other things you could use only for sports purposes. In a home intrusion scenario it is illegal to physically harm the intruder in any way unless you have been evidently physically harmed yourself first (so even if he has a knife, unless you have been stabbed you will go to jail for punching the guy who has invaded your home to rob you)I don't have a problem doing life for protecting my family with a hunting shotgun that I will get at some point, but for myself I'd rather punch or render someone unconscious in self sefense rather than kill, for a more tolerable punishment.
Jon Jones has retired from MMA.Tom Aspinall is promoted to Undisputed UFC Heavyweight Champion.Thoughts?
>>234994>Tom AspinallHard to respect that guy. He's a champion in one of the weakest Heavyweight divisions ever. You'd teleport that guy back to peak Pride FC he'd got mauled. Not even by the big boys but by second-rate guys like Kevin Randleman.
>>240175So what the fuck you want Tom to do? Travel back in time? This argument is peak casual bullshit. You can only beat the people in your era. So unless you have a time machine, shut the fuck up. And Kevin was a damn good fighter in his prime, so him beating Tom wouldnt be the insult you think it was.
>>234994Honestly disappointed. To me he truly was the best, I started watching Tuf in 8th Grade back in 09 and got into MMA he was the baddest man on the planet back then and it's crazy he remained that for so long. Never really agreed with the arguments for Gustaffson, but I do think Reyes could have gone either way, depends on how you feel about beat the man to be him adage. Fighting him was just fucking combat, if he doesnt knock you out with a bow, then he's going to oblique kick you into PT, which i never understood how that legal. As for the roids who gives a shit, in the word of Cody No Love " you showed us all how to use EPO back at Alpha Male", most fighters are on Roids or T, Nate said it too, shit even Rampage just copped to it, its too hard to tell who isn't, so its just safe to assume most are. I personally think he woulda Smashed Tom, and that now that Jon is gone Tom's legacy is going to go from GOAT Killer to very unspectacular and short lived. With all that being said this does leave a sour taste in my mouth, I wouldn't describe this as anything other than fear on Jon's part, but also at the same time he's reigned as a dominant final boss for over a decade amassing quite a hit list, does he have to take more damage for a bunch of cackling dickheads who will probably just shit on him anyway. That's been the truly sickening part of all this, all these internet sheep who get to gang up on something they can collectively hate, so they think it's okay to denigrate a storied career. I never really called myself a vocal fan till all these people decided it was fashionable to shit talk a legend.
>>240742Well Jones has done a lot to erode the good will of fans over the years. He has received beyond favorable treatment despite saying and doing deplorable shit. IIRC he and Josh Barnett are the only champs who got stripped for PEDs. The UFC cancelled an entire event because of him. And then there's the eye poking and other stuff that didnt get called by refs even though some of it was blatant. Also, his behavior outside the cage is even worse, if you want to hold that against him. Jones is undoubtedly a great fighter but there always will be several asterisks next to his name. Its just how it is. He did that to himself. As for Tom, he deserved a shot at the belt but since Jones turned down 30 million to face him, he never got the chance. But at least Jones gave the belt up to allow the division to move along. I think Tom will have a few defenses as i dont think anyone currently at HW beats him.
>>234994spams that knee kick too much.
Playing frisbee golf with a saw blade.Extreme? Yes or no?
it would only really be extreme for the trees and pedestrians
Extremely retarded. You’re gonna cut your hand unless you’re turbo putting and your distance will be absolute garbage
>motocross is so dead there isn't even a thread for it on /xs/ its so over
SMX Vegas - who's going to win?
>>242410>why does everyone see MX as a low class sport?Because of the low class people?
Deegan tried his dirty moves again and threw it away
>>242959yeah lmao, what the fuck was he doing man.also sexton is fucking dead too, so the us mx of nations team is fucked now.
>>242960I think Levi should fill in Haiden's MXoN spot
I train boxing 6 days a week and 2 an a half hours each day minimum, is it enough for competing amateur?When i rest on sunday, i feel like i could do much more but with the gym closed i don't have the same will to do exercise.
>>224183it depends how old is he. when I was 18 and was doing amateur Muay Thai I trained 6-7x a week and still had school. If he is a young buck he def has the energy.>>219114solid point. If he doesn't have the hunger or aggression, he will get rolled. My first two fights were baaaaaad, but it helped me to become more ruthless in a way
>>219056No. No amount of training can help you fight if you are not a fighter. Lots of people train and learn nothing of value. They get some good cardio but cant punch a hole in a paper bag.Just watch downs syndrom danny box.
>>219056Kid in my family is 18 and building up to a fight in a few months. He's doing 4 a week on top of a physical job every day. That's built from 3 a week. If he asked to do 6 a week his coach would probably drop him for being retarded. And this is a real old school ghetto gym. You're training like a pro but you're not a pro. At least put another rest day in there and then try and drop another day by increasing some intensity and taking less time.
what weight class
>>2190561,000 amateur boxers die every single year just be aware of what you're getting into when you qualify for your boxing license
Do you regret not learning when you were still young
>>240387only one way to learn
I regret not learning these when I was a child
>>240373like and grind, just learn how to pop in stationary then slowly add speed
>>240289I learned when i was young enough I just sucked at it
>>240289I practiced skate when I was a teen because two friends liked it and did it too. And no, I don't particularly like it besides. Also they became jerks and they like strangers now. I only have bad memories with that period of my life.
when will this faggot fight again? I like his style and he definitely beat Sean, but when is he gonna defend that title against the Bugman?
>>195798Is maturing realizing that Chael was the bad guy here?
>>241212Bullying Brazilians has always been ok to do, but he's lost the plot with defending rampages son and then doubling down on it
>>240122all good, Khabib's one of the best to do it. no shame in losing to the best.

I know this may be a dumb question (mainly as in "comparison is the thief of joy" variety) but how did you guys do/feel after your first year of consistent bjj? This week i just got my first two stripes on white belt (didnt even get a belt the entire time cause we're no-gi and it never crossed my mind), and it just got me thinking how others progressed in similar periods
>>242889can bail and go back to mountyou don't need to sit there and struggle till the guy escapes
>>242889But you don't need to get off of mount, you can do the armbar while still on himIf you don't have enough control to finish from the mount then it makes no sense to willfully move to an inferior positionRule for success #21 never get off mount unless you're forced off mount
>>Daily deals>https://www.bjjhq.comThis site sucks. It's misleading customers outside the US with the shipping price. I have tried telling them over email and in the site and they're not listening.
>>242906I like this
>hard sparring>more than 4x a yearCouldn't be me!
>>240166>prolonged sitting, drinking, eating fried foods, being dehydrated, staying up late, eating sugary foods, exposure to loud noises over 100dB. You better stay home and avoid all that.Oooo such wit, you definitely shut that shit down bro. All that shit totally produces CTE, Parkinson's, dementia, and Alzheimer's at the same rate that repeated head trauma has been linked to. No doubt. That shit you said definitely w was not some mid wit smooth brain retardation, not at all.
>>240312>There are lots of ways to do that without rattling your brain.A strawman argument, the favorite tool of the disingenuous fool. I never said to intentionally take as many blows to the head as possible, only a retard would have read what I wrote and assumed so. Just because people recommend hard sparring against a non-compliant adversary doesn't mean that they want to promote masochism.>It's funny that a lot of karatekas on this board love to shit on kyokushin for not allowing head strikes during sparring when despite that it's regularly recognized as having some of the most brutal conditioning out of all karate stylesI actually look up to those guys; they spar harder than I do, more often too. You just assumed I think they're weak to justify all the lame bullshit you spoke.>>240313>Alzheimer'sI promise you that sugar is the number 1 cause of this one. Many countries have started referring to it as type 3 diabetes for a reason.
>>240317>A strawman argument, the favorite tool of the disingenuous fool. I never said to intentionally take as many blows to the head as possible, only a retard would have read what I wrote and assumed so.Given the context of the thread, it's implicit that taking blows to the head is what you meant. Way to attempt wit but display a lack of reading comprehension at the same time.>You just assumed I think they're weak to justify all the lame bullshit you spoke.Again with the lack of reading comprehension, with a dash of narcissism. Did I say you? Have you said you practice Karate anywhere in this thread? No & no, so why would I be referring to you.>sugarSince you want to use logical fallacies, thats a nice red herring there. If it wasn't obvious, no one gives a shit about all that other crap and we're concerned with what repeated head trauma does. Also facetious remark about how "you better stay home and avoid all that too" also greatly contributed to your patent implications that sparring should explicitly include blows to the head.>tl;dr: "I was only pretending to be retarded"
>>240331>display a lack of reading comprehensionProjecting after misreading my comment. sad.
>>240049as an amateur, i like heavy sparring because i find it fun. As long as you make a rule of not trying to kill your partner (as in, be careful with head-hits), both parties can enjoy it.I dislike light sparring as it gives amateurs false confidence in their abilities, and people can take advantage of that you'll be slower by spamming range like side-kicks.
What is the best martial art if you are normal sized (5'11/6 foot) but physically weak (110 pounds)? Those are my stats.Eskrima sounds nice but you can't carry sticks or knives around with you like an fighting game character.
>>240006Seconding this.
>>239977Anything point based like Taekwondo, or technical grappling like Judo and BJJ
>>239977Krav Maga
>>239977>t. 110 5’7 manletIf you’re 110 at 6 feet, you are extremely underweight and undermuscular for your size. Both of these put you at serious injury risk, I wouldn’t do a combat sport till you get that handled and get to a normal BMI. Even as a shortie who doesn’t need much more massI found bjj and wrestling extremely hard on my shoulder and knee joints, and a major cause of this was fat and muscle are the padding protecting both once someone with wrestler forehead wants to give either a 180 degree rotation.You can ignore this advice, but if you do, go buy your leg sleeves now, because you’re gonna be wearing them for a half year within 3 months.
>>239977Wrestling
Would've been GOAT if he wasn't diseased and dying to the cold and flu. He could've been triple champ.DESTROYS Anderson Silva, Israel Adesanya, Alex Pereira, Sean Strickland, DDP.DESTROYS Jiri Prochazka, Jamahal Hill, Glover Texeira. Beats up Magomed Ankalaev, beats Jon Jones.DESTROYS Jack Della Maddalena, Belal Muhammad. Beats Kamaru Usman, Islam Makhachev, GSP.
>>240440This guy struggled against an old, kneeless, short-notice Kamaru Usman and the fight should have been a draw.
>>240481Khamzat is on EPO now and he won't break his hand again.
>>240440Yea I agree with you this guy could've been triple champ. But he's probably more illness-prone if he stays at welter.
If this guy headlines the white house card he destroys the US.
