Putin already has belts in various martial arts on top of his KGB training.
>>207901Even though Putin is older, he is still a judoka
>>208305They’re all honorary though. Because he helped established heaps of martial arts tournaments and the like. Aside from sambo (and russians don’t tend to view judo and sambo as two seperate things), he hasn’t trained anything else. I mean, one of his black belts is in taekwondo, for fucks sake. You think he can bust out hwa-rang? What about koryo? Absolute nonsense, the man’s never done an axe kick in his life.
Asking for a dwarf friend, what kinda of risks and injuries are there. Would 6 months of training be good enough?

>>195390Depends how big you are. I’m 6’1 and 205lbs. My first fight was super easy but for some reason they banned me for life even though I got the win in under a minute?
I'm a 2nd dan black belt in Judo and brown belt in BJJ, recently my dojo closed down due to financial circumstances. I still want to practice and keep my skills sharp, could I hire escorts as my Uki's? I would put them under the pretense of wanting the girlfriend experience package but I'd just end up taking them to my home gym that has a tatami mat and tell them the deal. Would they find this weird? I wouldn't hit any seriously big throws, just things like osoto, koshi guruma, ura nage, and of course I'd teach them breakfalls. Thoughts?

>>205834Problem is this hooker might do some harmless trainings with OP and his weak ass “gentle way” shit, and then mistakenly think she can hang with a real karate kid. Next thing she knows she’s offering “martial arts training sessions” online, and I’ve made an appointment with her. Only problem is I’m a real man training a real art. I put the Uechi ouchie on her, bad. I’m used to my training partners having done their iron shirt training and my first nukite tears right into her, and ruptures her spleen. We can’t let something like that happen.
>>210465>Uechi ouchieUechi coochie ouchie
>>210466I wouldn’t attack a woman’s groin directly with a spear hand. It seems counter intuitive, but that area is designed to be penetrated. I’d attack over the top, with kumade, in a raking motion. The labia are soft and easily torn, and pain compliance should be possible from there.
How 2 knife fight?
>>209480i still think you're a niggernigger
>>201496>*blocks your path*
>>2014961. Run away2. If running is not an option hold the knife upward in your hand3. Poke/stab, most modern knives are not sharp enough to effectively slash, so dont assume you can. Feel free though if given the opportunity to hit the neck, belly, upper arm.4. Do not get stabbed or slashed. Stay on your toes. By all means do not let your opponents blade touch your neck or chest.5. Be agressive.6. If youve taken a gazillion years of martial arts you can take the opponents knife if he does a cartoon Michal Meyers icepick move.
>>201803There's plenty of examples of completely cooperative people getting tortured to death for no reason. You don't know what the assailant wants or plans to do. The most reasonable course of action is usually to simply kill them with a gun, ideally. As this eliminates the risk of ending up in such scenarios
>>201803Liberal?
Modern skateboarding fucking sucks. Everyone skates like a robot: same tricks, same style (both clothing and trick execution), everyone at the skateparks are way too serious and tryhard. Nobody carves or has any real style, just the same in-line tight truck 5 approved tricks tried endlessly in a row.How do we make skateboarding like 1988-1992 again? Bright day glo colors, giant ass fish boards with rails, tricks that are whatever the fuck you felt like doing that day and who fucking cares if you drag a hand or a toe as long as you surf out of it. People used to all have a sense of humor and goof around and improvise halfway through a trick, not stand around like soulless autistic robots and give up if the autism flip didn't land perfect in the sperg grind. And for the love of fuck, they listened to ROCK and METAL, not this horseshit faggot ass trap music rap bullshit.Skateboarding used to be rad as fuck and whatever gay shit it is today isn't worth being around. I don't see any tricks around today that weren't being done back then, it just had more pizzaz then.Like, watch this part and tell me you aren't 1000x more amped to skate than some bullshit dropped today: https://youtu.be/3c7XV-FC59k?si=RAAuO_Fu-BT8R2RF&t=21Fuck modern skateboarding, make skateboarding rad again.
>>203651these are yours anon? Sick as hell, once I have some money I might get one cuz I've been wanting a old school shaped board for my cruiser setup
>>187253it's a shame there was any fighting, skateboarding is coolest but bmx and skaters fought in my town.
>>196977longboarders are still gay but with boards having motors the longboard is a lot more useful and convenient. If you are considering a motorized bike/scooter/longboard for getting around your shitty little town, the longboard is probably the most portable, easiest to take inside and charge. Aside from that longboarding requires long paths so if you really like longboarding so bike paths and also beaches are often good, the beach side of the road is often an uninterrupted sidewalk
>Ipath
>>196902But what if you'd use the skateboard as a longboard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfJ0__o7qaA
No one here has the balls to challenge the floating skatepark.
Is it fair to say that bigger people are better suited for grappling and smaller people are better at striking?
Weight being equal, the shorter fighter will have better odds grappling than striking.
>>207634You can run way faster with longer legs. Usain Bolt is 6ft 5in.
>>207226On the other hand they can uppercut you in the balls.
>>207195I would say that taller thinner people are more suited to striking and shorter heavier people are more suited to grappling.
>>207195Bigger people can generate power with less effort, so anything strength related is easier for bigger people, assuming everyone is on equal levels of technique.The only advantage shorter people tend to have is stamina, almost everything else that could be an advantage can be easily mitigated by someone bigger. Also, height and reach matter a lot too.Anyway, fighting is in 99% of cases about execution, not predetermined traits. If you are big but keep exposing your chin even a child can knock you out.

>>207608Stfu ESL commie>the US subsidizes paintball globallyYou know how idiotic and childish that whole plan is?
>>208124I just find out why box are 70$ in US, it's about to force you to get a team or find find one and have a sponsor, then the box will drop to 35$. >>209258> You know how idiotic and childish that whole plan is?So you prefer letting the sport die? We are 10% of what it we were in early 2000 worldwide, even in US paintball had 10x time more player than now.
>>209281That's because people eventually realized how dumb the "sport" is as is. There's no skill other than who can dump the most paint as fast as possible. Literally about as much fun as watching paint dry.
>>197492man! awesome buzzard, and that prostock with the Whoosh barrel and Taso humpback frame is really sweet too.i just did my first feedneck removal to put together this stock class sniper with this sweet palmers cart reg. im getting 30 solid shots per 12 gram at ~275 with ccm internals and a 3 oring aluminum freeflow bolt
Not sure if this is supposed to go on /xs/ or /sp/, but what do you think of the sport? All I see on here is HEMA.I'm trying to get into it and I'm looking to pick up some gear. I probably want to fence Epee. Any recommendations? The club has gear, but a lot of it is gross and sometimes not working, especially for left handed stuff.
>>192336If you have a decent rating some local club coaches will let you come for free and give good practice for the kids. And usually the kids at local clubs are stronger than fencers at university that doesn't have official teams.
>>115460It's the equivalent of Point Karate for sword fighting, thus, pussy sport
>>132785Saber would be great if it wasn't for the utterly retarded priority shit.A point just being a point is the big reason why epee is the best fencing variant
>I made this thread 2 years ago>it's still upI went to my college fencing club for a couple semesters. I got too busy with schoolwork so I had to stop going. It was fun but I didn't really get too deep into it. Maybe I'll try it again some day, but I dunno. Seems hard to find a club

Is Street Luge still a thing, or did it die out on December 31, 2009 when all the enthusiasts died of gravel rash?
>>209660>They need to bring back aggressive inline and add scooters or it'll be dead within a few years.Scooters would be interesting, but I disagree with bringing back inline. Inline simply isn't very well-suited to TV. All the various grind variations are impressive to those in-the-know, but to a normie it's>he slid down a rail>he slid down a rail with his legs crossed>he slid down another railThat said, though, the X Games' format is actually changing in 2026 to something akin to a year-round global tour, like F1.
>>209668>Inline simply isn't very well-suited to TV.the x games was created because standalone inline contests were getting such high ratings.Inline competitions are way more about the airs/spins/grabs which look spectacular to normies, definitely more so than "board flips in an imperceptibly different way" in skateboarding.
>>209668> akin to a year-round global tour, like F1Except no one will go to or watch it. Why did it take until 2026 to realize that? Lmao. It’s too late
>>209680It was probably too late when the actual Olympics added skateboarding and all sorts of other X Games events.

Capoeira is very underrated and misunderstood, specially by its own practitioners. >almost perfect use of momentum>almost complete mitigation of the disadvantages of falls>lots of unorthodox movements and weird striking angles>lots of level changes, perfect for transition to grapplingYet retards will tell you it's just a dance or that it doesn't work when it has historical proof it worked against even armed opponents. From what I gathered, it seems Brazil doesn't want to export just the fighting side of Capoeira because that would be racist or something. Can any Brazilians shine the light on why this shit isn't being taught in every school like Judo and BJJ?
>>210046Keep in mind that black people who used this art were fighting against gunmen armed with knives, pistols and shotguns, so the low stance, fast and powerful blows, mixed with dodges were the state of the art in 19th century Brazil.>Why isn't this crap being taught in all schools, like Judo and BJJ?1. BJJ and judo are not taught in schools here in Brazil.2. Capoeira has some problematic aspects linked to Afro-Brazilian religions. Here the general culture is Christian and the music and clothing have a strong connection to batuque religions.3. It was banned in Brazil because it was used by the "maltas", gangs that terrorized large cities, and this connection still exists in some cities.Capoeira is more of a collection of defense and attack techniques than a closed and complex system. I hope I have clarified some points.
>>210055>1. BJJ and judo are not taught in schools here in Brazil.Huh, I'm Portuguese living in Pernambuco, my kids have studied in two schools and both had Judo and BJJ, thought it was something common>2. Capoeira has some problematic aspects linked to Afro-Brazilian religions. Here the general culture is Christian and the music and clothing have a strong connection to batuque religions.So it's not really muh anti-racism like I thought just a result of the clashing ideas, makes sense>3. It was banned in Brazil because it was used by the "maltas", gangs that terrorized large cities, and this connection still exists in some cities.Really? I knew they had gangs and all but which connections do you mean? Genuinely curious>Capoeira is more of a collection of defense and attack techniques than a closed and complex system. I hope I have clarified some points.Isn't Capoeira Regional more or less that or am I mistaken?
>>210060Two Portuguese speakers talking in English, that's the joke.>Huh, I'm Portuguese living in Pernambuco, my kids studied in two schools and both had Judo and BJJ, I thought it was something commonPrivate schools? If they're public schools, they must be part of some program to encourage sports.>Seriously? I knew they had gangs and everything, but what connections are you referring to? Genuinely curiousThe gangs don't exist anymore, but gang behavior in some places remains, take for example the Chute Boxe x Capoeira challenge, it started with a fight between capoeiristas who were in a gang on the beach, behavior similar to that of the pitboys of the 90s who fought BJJ and went out in groups at night attacking people.>Isn't Capoeira Regional more or less like that or am I mistaken? By systematized I meant that it is much more like self-defense, where you learn some very specific techniques that work for almost everything, than a combat sport where you develop a wide range of skills because your opponent is already used to defending himself from basic blows.I trained capoeira for 2 years and I have a degree in history. It is a tremendous cultural and physical activity, and I see that the biggest problem for it to develop further is precisely the religious aspect.
>>210063>Two Portuguese speakers talking in English, that's the joke.Kek, I already got banned a couple of times for this, so I avoid it now>Private schools? If they're public schools, they must be part of some program to encourage sports.Oh, I didn't think they were different but that makes sense>The gangs don't exist anymore, but gang behavior in some places remains, take for example the Chute Boxe x Capoeira challenge, it started with a fight between capoeiristas who were in a gang on the beach, behavior similar to that of the pitboys of the 90s who fought BJJ and went out in groups at night attacking people.>Chute Boxe x Capoeira challengeI had no idea this was a thing kek I already know what I'm going to watch during lunch, thanks>By systematized I meant that it is much more like self-defense, where you learn some very specific techniques that work for almost everything, than a combat sport where you develop a wide range of skills because your opponent is already used to defending himself from basic blows.Makes sense, I imagine most of the knowledge people had for majority of it came from word of mouth, right? Only recently I learned how long it took for Brazil to make slavery illegal, kinda messed up>I trained capoeira for 2 years and I have a degree in history. Damn, that's dope, I kind of want to get my BJJ purple belt before going on another adventure, but I'm really tempted to join a Capoeira group nearby, looked very fun>It is a tremendous cultural and physical activity, and I see that the biggest problem for it to develop further is precisely the religious aspect.Do you think there is any chance for it in the future? I've noticed most kids are less religious nowadays than when I got here (around 2005)
And that Dana acts like he hates him to make it look less plausible that the UFC rigged it for him?It makes no sense for Dana to behave this unprofessionally if it isn't for a reason, it makes no sense for Belal to look like this and run through Edwards like that, and it didn't make sense to have the fight at 5 A.M. eitherSocial media monkeys obviously act as predicted and sell this chicanery for Dana>hahaha look how mad he is, he doesn't even want to give him the belt :)))

For example Conor Mcgregor got absolutely humiliated by Hafthor, but would a 6 foot trained fighter get brutally mogged by a 7 foot guy, or a 6'4" guy get brutally mogged by a 7'4" guy? Surely at some point there's diminishing returns due to the square cube law and also the kind of genetic disorders that cause Guiness Book of World Records level tall people to die early and be very frail. So what height is the cutoff? And what height is the ideal?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aaehn1aY8Ig
>>207682Height and reach will never stop being important. Weight stops being important when the height and reach are hindered by reduced mobility.If someone was 5 meters tall and proportional they would be unstoppable in the UFC. Someone who was 10 meters tall would definitively trounce then though.Watch some Godzilla, big thing is scary thing.
>>209551>doesn't know about square cube law
>>209615You realize that dinosaurs existed, right? The size that a human would have to get to before it comes incompetent enough to fall victim to a human half it's height is absurb. Volume ratios are not the issue here.
>>209530becareful you're gonna piss off the bjj artists. They think strength and weight doesnt matter
>>208416you have to take prefered style of fighting into the equation. mayweather wouldnt gain any advantage from bulking up, he wants to be quick on his feet above all else. he wants to avoid punches, not take them better (this has dimishing returns anyways) or punch back harder
The answer is IT DEPENDS whether the skill gap or the strength gap is bigger
>>206326both are trained for completely different things lmao.You make any one of these career fighters fight in a war they're more likely to kill all their allies so they can attempt to take down an entire platoon of soldiers themselves>hurr but i do jiu jitsu d00d my closed guard and rnc can stop them
>>206186>Gym culture has never been more prevalent and everyone knows what works in a fight now thanks to the popularity of the ufcThat's not how fighting works. Just because you watch a lot of basketball doesn't mean you can shoot a 3 pointer or dunk.

There's a big difference between a bodybuilder with 1 yr solid fighting experience and a bodybuilder with 0.Anybody with 0 experience sucks. But the massive fit guy that has one year good practice tends to beat the really experienced welterweight from what i see.
