I hate this company.They ruin every mountain that they touch.They’ve even started going after the mom and pop local hills.
$300 lift tickets to stand in lines like this.
Crotched and Sunapee weren't too crazy this last week, that being said their food prices would make a rabbi blush.
>>251899would lowering the ticket prices help?

What strength training routines do these types of fighters maintain?Could this be replicated at home?
>>249999I'd take a look at D1 college wrestling programs and what they do for their conditioning
good resource, helped me a lot:https://www.youtube.com/@willratelle8027big thing if you're training judo with intense training programs is to keep volumes low and stimulus consistent but not burdensome
>>249999Checked. As other anons have said, the basic compound exercises (squat, bench, deadlift, overhead press, rows) are all good, I'd personally argue that trapbar/hexbar deadlift is a better option for most people than barbell deadlift. Farmer carries (or even holds) can be good for grip strength, hell just hold your last deadlift rep of the day for as long as you can. Like anything consistent training is key, though if you're also training martial arts you need to be careful with your programming: Alternating lifting days and martial arts days, or doing lower lifting intensity on the days you'll train martial arts, etc. I like to do a little lifting before bjj/kickboxing, but the lifting sessions in my case are very minimalist to just maintain strength I've built up over the years. Some other guys at my gym train Mon-Sat, but skip martial arts on Wednesdays to lift full body instead. Lots of different ways to do it.t. Competed in powerlifting for 10 years before switching to bjj and kickboxing
https://youtube.com/watch?v=GbzpMT6t-Zgdeadlifts, squats, bicep curls and chest exercises are useless and counter productive
They all have different strength requirements. Grapplers need good lower back strength and strong grips and durable strong pulls, they are also very explosive as well.Strikers need cardio and mobility
~~Hangboarding 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.

If the only thing that hurts about a climbing shoe is the big toe knuckle when applying pressure on the big toe, what is the most likely issue?is it the:>size?>shape/last?>aggressiveness?I somehow doubt that size is the issue since it is only that one area and my shoes fit fine other wise.
>>253742its likely to be the last. sounds like its a shoe that was designed to be sized such that your toes are straight, and you sized it so that they are cramped, so the volume of the front part cant accommodate cramped toes.
>>253709nice. finding your first mentor is the hardest part. keep after it.
How accurate is mondopoint as an estimate to what size climbing shoes you should be getting? All my shoes are at the size the various brands think I should be wearing at my mondopoint and while there are some variations, it has been mostly accurate.
>>253742If it's your first agressive shoe then you're gonna have to build a callus in your toe before it stops bothering you too much
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

>>251633>nerds>""""research"""""It's not the nerd part that's inherently a problem. It's being a nerd who can't fight. Shad is not a fighter (as evidenced by him cherrypicking a novice HEMA fighter to spar against and still looking like shit) and he's not a real academic either. He's peak of Mt. Stupid and it's shocking that anyone takes his opinions seriously.>Remember the flail video? >they are the primary factor in dispelling them.Shad himself is creating myths about flails being useless when the actual research shows the opposite. Even the other HEMAtubers disagree with him there, including Skallagrim who you mentioned.
>>251652>it's shocking that anyone takes his opinions seriously.You're seemingly more fixated on him than I am. I merely brought him up because he's an example of a guy who dispelled a myth. You implying that I worship everything he says is a bit of a strawman; do better.>>251652>Shad himself is creating myths about flails being useless when the actual research shows the opposite.He never said they were useless, anyone who's ever been to a high school physics class can understand how devastating a flail can be. He merely thinks they are not as common in the battlefield as the media would have you believe. The video I was referring to, however, was when he explained that every flail that has the weighted end as the same length as the handle is fake. Lo and behold, many museums started to check their collections with radiocarbon dating, SEM-EDX, or combustion analysis and realized that a bunch of flails were reproductions or forgeries made centuries after their original estimation.
>>251657>He merely thinks they are not as common in the battlefield as the media would have you believeIf anything, they're more common than people believe, since the popular opinion pendulum has shifted into people thinking they're solely fantasy weapons that didn't even really exist.>many museums started to check their collections with radiocarbon dating, SEM-EDX, or combustion analysis and realized that a bunch of flails were reproductions or forgeries made centuries after their original estimation.You vastly overrate Shad's influence if you think he was the driving force behind that.
>>247443Kendo would be a lot more fun to watch if they also hit the legs.Also watching videos of kenjutsu, the techniques they do used a lot more angles and binds, i know kendo focuses on a single smack and i like how fast they are when they let the shinai go (after a millennia of feeling out the opponent) but i feel like kendo could very easily incorporate more kenjutsu techniques and it would be fun to see with how fast they can get.
>>251658>If anything, they're more common than people believe, since the popular opinion pendulum has shifted into people thinking they're solely fantasy weapons that didn't even really exist.Fair enough, back when I talked to history dorks a decade ago, many people thought that every single knight had unique weapons like that. I wasn't aware of a shift in thinking and that now people think they didn't exist.>You vastly overrate Shad's influence if you think he was the driving force behind that.He used to be very popular back when he was making videos on castle architecture rather than the garbage movie reviews and fantasy weapon reviews he makes nowadays. He's currently unwatchable, but that wasn't always the case.

>hard sparring>more than 4x a yearCouldn't be me!
>>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.
>>240146>BOSS in south africa?Wtf is this.
If you don't like sparring then don't spar, it's that simple. If you want to test yourself knowing that you're going to get hit in the head, then go for it. Boxing's not for everyone.
>>240146I think in the military they just shoot people and if that doesn't work they stab them

How would you create a martial art that had as it's main purpose to be most effective against UNTRAINED people? Are there any techniques that are useless in a trained context but disproportionally effective when used against untrained people?Kind of like how in chess there are openings that are principally not sound and easily rebuked by people who know how to play chess, but allow you to easily checkmate a complete beginner (like the scholar's mate).
>>251389By combining the basics of most effective martial arts. Being proficient in the 1-2, the front kick, the single leg, osotogari and the rear naked choke will make you leaps and bounds better than the average joe provided you don't have a massive size disadvantage. Also add: a proper guard and footworkKeyword: proficient. And also constantly training
Now that I really think about it, Silat kind of fits the vibe. If you're trained, half the shit doesn't really work or apply, but if you're against an untrained opponent most of the stuff is very "pain compliance" and demoralizing attacks
Something that relies on reflex or attacking in an unorthodox way or odd areas.
>>251389Yeah, literally any martial art in which you've had some training
That’s just sport bjj. Against trained opponents most sport jiu jitsu goes out the window but against untrained people you can just start doing ridiculous flashy shit and it works because they don’t know what they’re doing. you could literally just pull guard and imanari roll/ bolo them and it works fine.
How extreme is too extreme?
>>251262KOTS
I really want to take up a martial art, and have since I was a kid, but have an internal defibrillator. It's a preventative measure, and I lift weights/run with no issues. Any ideas what ones would be appropriate? Basically anything where I'm not about to get struck hard and repeatedly in the chest (I own a small shield for it that can fit under clothing very easily/allows for full range of movement, so occasional accidental striking of it/pressing on it is no issue).
>>249867No thats a lot of striking and often on the chest
>>250024Is it? I thought the chest was a non-scoring area?
I think it's just head and hands that score but I don't know, never done it before
>>250064That could work for me then. I have a little paceguard thing I can wear over my defrib, and it works pretty well. It'd almost certainly fit under the armor based on what I've seen.
>>249491You are broken, fundamentally. Don't do martial arts. You shouldn't even exist.
what martial art should i do after taekwondo? i'm currently abt to be a black belt in ITF taekwondo and i noticed that it kinda sucks due to the lack of handwork.ive been thinking of exploring either judo (since im pretty big) or eskrima (for grappling techniques and knifeplay). in general im looking for a style that is more hands-focused to go with the footwork of taekwondo
>>247891Kickboxing. Look, I might have a retarded vision of things here, but I see Taekwondo and Aikido as very similar martial arts. Laughed upon, misunderstood, with too many mcdojos and clowns. In short, ineffective. But what I also noticed when doing kickboxing is that taekwondo guys have a style that's powerful and unconventional. They have to adapt to some KB stuff, but some go into fights with a taekwondo style, almost like fencing with their leg, and it works. Kind of like this girl, but less obvious https://www.youtube.com/shorts/2ShTujCVJzcSo I think that Taekwondo is like a DLC for Kickboxing. I mentioned Aikido because I think it's like a DLC for Judo and BJJ, but that's a whole other can of worms
>>247891Will you become an amazing all around fighter who can threaten competent fighters? Probably notCan you kick a crackhead in the chest and make him rethink his decision? Probably yesNot everyone has to be super optimal MMA guy
>>247891Since you have kicks boxing or kick boxing. Escrima seems cool but hard to find a good gym.
>>247891Combat Sambo if you can find, you can make Combat TKD! https://youtube.com/shorts/B4LIsuuFR6w
boxing or any grappling martial art. boxing because taekwondo, no matter the type, has shitty punching technique and defense (check https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pn98RdwPw48 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nz-kU1X0Q2I, which are boxers beating taekwondoins from the ITF). grappling martial arts because you only know striking and MAYBE some takedowns (if your school actually teached you them), since you said you're big then any will do, though judo would be my main recommendation
those that aim to redirect the oponent's energy, like aikido, hapkido, daito ryu, taijutsu, etc. i'm kinda interested in them, especially taijutsu and hapkido, but dunno what i should expect exactly (in order to not fall into a mcdojo), so if anyone has experience in them please share, as well as your thoughts on them
>>249339At the schools I've visited kata seems to be mostly a niche old guy activity or done only for higher belt promotions.
>>246409Actually that's real and not from one of Seagal movies. It's hard to tell because he's always pure kino.
>>246396I don't think the idea of taijutsu is just redirection. It's more like fucking around until the oponent has no tension, then exploiting that.
>>246396If you want to learn the art go for it but don't expect to be able to use the techniques they way they teach you because they teach it wrong for fighting, do it for the love of the game.That said the core principle of redirecting energy is legit and legit overpowered if you do it right.The most important thing to learn is the twitch from daito ryu, i call it like that idk if it has an actual name but what they do is that they do a tiny push or pull to get you to resists in the opposite motion and then do the technique opposite to your reaction, for example they first bump you back so you resists forward and then pull you as you resists, its a tiny motion, almost imperceptible but 100% legit and you can use this concept in more legit martial arts like mma, wrestling and judo.Aikido does basically the same thing but in a circular motion, all you need from aikido is to instead of resisting head on, to simply move to the side and rotate to push or pull the opponent into you.Hapkido is literally just aikido but fast and explosive and teaches how to use the techniques against karate style striking which is slightly better than aikido.If you must I would recommend hapkido because they are legit athletic as fuck, you learn basically everything aikido and daito ryu do and then you can do something more legit focusing on the concepts of energy redirection, not the techniques they teach you, only the concept.
OP here, so in the end i ended up getting into BJJ and it's been a lot of fun. these three months have been great and i've learned a ton of stuff. i would've liked to get into hapkido but there are no dojangs nearby =(.>>250726sound cool, didn't realize that. wish the bujinkan wasn't a scam though :/.>>251051thanks for the explanation! i'd love to get into one of these martial arts someday, especially hapkido, hopefully i'll find some place that isn't like 2 hours from where i live •~•
