How do Muay Thai fighters train? Do they do technique, cardio, sparring, and calisthenics?
no none of that
yes to all
i'd argue you have to ways. running and lifting or bike and calisthenics. i'd rather do bike and calisthenics
Where do you sit on the tradition vs sport debate?
>>259715Only dorks complain about sports. The traditional martial artists in history were also competing against each other. Pressure testing is necessary for improvement.
>>259715traditions are perpetually becoming sports
Tradition to me implies an unbroken lineage which is not what we have today in martial arts or things like HEMA. All the Chinese stuff is basically made up (did you know all these "ancient" kung fu styles post-date Queensberry rules boxing?). HEMA is just dweebs with pony tails trying their best to recreate things from books, but it's preposterous to pretend that these dweebs are somehow in the same continuum as a guy that was getting into actual sword fights 16th century Venice or whatever.Sports are ultimately also much more effective manifestations of whatever art they're based on because they actually compete and engage in the thing they're teaching (albeit in simulated ways). Any Olympic style fencer that tries HEMA ends up destroying everybody because of superior fundamentals like foot work and distance management (let's not even talk about sports combat vs kung fu guys, we all know how that goes). Culture clashing in reality is a common theme throughout humanity, and in the end it's always reality that wins out. How you feel about that is up to you.
Stupid unrealistic shit. Both would get slaughtered.A swordsman with no shield gets slaughtered by a spearman with no shield 99% of the time.A swordsman or a spearman with no shield gets slaughtered by anyone with a bow or just darts. Every Roman soldier carried with him a bunch of darts for this reason.
Is the debate between sport vs “tradition” or do you mean something like sport vs “martial art”.Any sport can be a tradition. Even if you believe kendo is a sport, it’s still a tradition. Just because something is traditional doesn’t make it more realistic or whatever.Arguably, HEMA is less of a tradition than kendo, as it is a reconstructed art. But I guess that depends on your idea of tradition.>>261245A Roman soldier would be easily dispatched by my Glock 19

>>258718its just fact man riding a jetski once causes minor but permanent CTE
>>258721Sure dudeMaybe blinking too much? Somebody giving you a jumpscare?
All the uproar about boxing deaths is based on emotionalism rather than rational reasoning. People have crunched the numbers, and there have been less than 500 fatalities since the 1950's, and that's out of millions of bouts. A disproportionate numbers are also from before 1983, which is when they tightened up a lot of safety regulations. Since 2000 there's about 1-2 fatalities per year, on average. Being a pizza delivery driver is probably more dangerous than being a boxer. Two fighters dying on the same card is a complete freak statistical anomaly, and as unfortunate as it is, it's not really representative of anything.It doesn't even relate to sparring, anyway. Dying from subdermal hematoma because you got walloped for 12 rounds straight by a pro boxer is a completely different ball game than playing patty cake at 30% intensity at your local gym Muay Thai gym.Also if you want a real redpill, the clinical evidence we have for CTE even existing in the first place is very poor, let alone its prevalence.

why don't more people skate with bigger wheels? I'm talking 60mm and above.it feels so much better to skate when you're not trying to balance precariously on little tiny baby wheels, where even a speck of dust will send you flying.
>>247103couldn't be me
>>247103Personally, I can't stand anything smaller than 90. 110 is best, feels like flying. On small wheels you kick back 10 times to reach the speed I get in two kicks, might as well run in place just to waste your energy lmao>inb4 muh slidesdon't give a shit bro, I skate for speed not show-off le slides with 50% chance of falling, injuring myself and missing out on the skating season
I skate spitefire classic 52mm cuz i do sick tricks, but i also have a cruiser with some thick OJs
>>260992This kind of post is to be expected from someone who confuses durometer with size, and admits they miss half their tricks. I'm sure people are very impressed when you show off your speed.
>>261014no he's a longboarder lol. 110 durometer doesn't exist and he can't slide. ud be sliding all over with 100 durometer

>>261458>I have no idea whether this would work against anyone competent or if it's just a white belt cheese strat.>>261525>essentially squatting/sitting down on their feettry it against people with more experience and people that are stronger than you. if youre rushing in with your head up youre asking for something like this >>257658. try it with people you know arent gonna let you hold side control. see if they sweep you right away, see if they set up frames and re guard. find one higher belt to roll with regularly and just hit it when you roll until you get to a point you arent being swept every time, then focus on passing slowly so you have time to kill their frames on the way in
>>261458It's a good option in specific bodylock scenarios (shallow entry, bad control of hips), but your primary pass should just be a bodylock if that's what you're into. Most white/blue belts won't know how to properly defend it either. Danaher's passing instructionals (fastest way or new wave) are really good resources for it. Here's a good place to start (this guy trained with Gordon/Danaher, most of his material is the same shit):https://youtu.be/iuaUaIV7cWg?si=i5mbUGX7TG4Hkue5
what do you do with retards who just keep going backwards when you try to wrestle standing up and pressure into them? and why the fuck do people do this
>>262259Get them against a wall>but that's against the ruleswell, so is running awayOr just go for their legs immediately
>>262259if they're intimidated you'll have to let them get some grips or attachment and counter. you could also pull guard so they come forward, and wrestle up.
My 10 year old wants to start playing disc golf. Do I buy a starter set or give me the best 3 discs to start and play and he will continue to want to keep in his bag so it’s not wasted money.
>>258263go to a used section of a disc golf store or a play it again and have him grab a few putters and midranges. cost effective, tons of variety, and he will have a better time with lower speed discs. once he finds some stuff he likes/doesn't lose then buy new.
>>258346Just get him a nice proxy/pure/whatever.
the quick, cheap & easy entry point is the Innova starter kit (aviar, shark, leopard version). walmart.com or amazon always has them <$25. Well rounded beginner disc choices and they usually come in lighter 150g weight for kids. I could think of a few autistic gripes about this set, but they don't really matter for a 10yo. Best selling set for 30+ years for a reason.If you have a small boutique shop nearby, I'm sure the staff would be happy to help find good discs for a kid and give some tips.
>>258294everyone i know who's ever shown an interest in disc golf has been a fat unathletic stoner
if you wanna do the cheapest option, just get him a straight flying midrange and if his interest keeps up, buy him a few more different kindsif you wanna spend a little bit more, get a lower speed fairway driver like the latitude explorer, and compliment that with a straight midrange like an innova nova or a latitude claymore, then a basic putter like the discmania p2 or p1. with just those 3 discs you can go very far, especially as a kid

>>250617For sure, I wish they had a proper distributor.I love their Sunny plastic, it's too bad they don't seem run it very often.
What's the most extreme possible situation in disc golf?
>>259380Disc goes into river. You dont want to lose the 20 bucks that that disc cost. You wade into river and almost drown. That or you twist an ankle in the woods. Or medial epicondylitis from bad throwing form.

Here we discuss HMB, Buhurt, Harnisfechten, SCA Heavy, Armored MMA, and other categories of historically inspired armored sport fighting. We are a very welcoming community and there’s never enough of us, newcomers need not be shy.Share your experiences, discuss arms and armor, appreciate the athletes and smiths, and most of all HAVE FUN!
Just found out about armored mma on youtube. Looks extremely based. Might go to one of their events soon.
Buhurt is so cool but the community around it especially in the US is way too preachy and retarded. basically if you're not a bleeding heart lib most teams won't even talk to you
>>256658>basically if you're not a bleeding heart lib most teams won't even talk to youReally? That's better than I thought, I've always thought it was a way for chuds to have pseudo-MMA fights without getting wrecked by any brown guy. Would be funny to see one of them sporting "Im with Her" stickers on their armor lmao.
how much you reckon it costs to get into jousting?
hello frens, i'm looking for some wooden weapon schematics to make them out of wood, need them for a buhurt club, thanks in advance
hi /xs/ this is my cat rupert, hes a very adventurous cat and i was thinking about going skydiving with him. ive been skydiving before and i liked it, does anyone have any experience skydiving with a cat, or any pet?
Rumor has it if a cat has enough time to right itself and spread out their terminal velocity is lower than what it takes to injur them so beyondNo gear required, just drop him and he'll be fine
>>251648OP is this you
>>251648dude another rupert get, rare added to my collection
>>246088i found rupert in s4s too
>>259888Let's see?
I just want the assurance that I can defend myself should it come to that INB4 get a gun, I live in Canada so I can't. I'm thinking about joining an MMA gym to do all of it but I don't think I would be able to put in the requisite time for both grappling and striking training while still lifting and doing cardio. If it is possible please tell me because I plan on going to the fighting classes 3-4 times a week, also please give me info on how much to spar including hard sparring, I want to get decent as fast as possible
>>251818>I just feel like your idea of confident is acting like an assholethat is a textbook exemple of projection. in none of op's posts was anything mentioned that comes even remotely close to sounding like he wants to bully someone. learning to defend yourself is as important a skill as learning how to cook for yourself. you need it to survive.
>>251752Do one teach one fu
>>255827>constructive thing>guy with no martial arts experience: "I'm going to invent my own martial with blackjack and hookers!"
>>251752probaby kickboxing + judoKickboxing so you learn the merits of not dodging (because many people have been felled for over-dodging into a shin or a fistand judo beccause you need to learn how to fall and not break somethingBasically imo the best thing you can learn about in martial arts is how to get hit and how to not die from a fall, which are frankly great skills with many benefits that are easy to learn
>>251811Go do muay thai. It's gonna teach you take/give punches, and there's clinch work that's like half-assed wrestling/judo so you'll learn to tussle. You'll die to an actual boxer/wrestler punching/grappling wise but you will at least know what to do more or less.Sanda also works but impossible to find.
new to boxing and I keep on walking into punches during exercises, how does one dodge and slip? do south paws have to do it differently?
I disagree with the hookers here. Their jab is much faster than your hook is, you'll have to find/make an opening to get an opening for it, and the angle feels wrong for it to me too.
>>253671>>253686>>253392but I am a southpaw
>>253381>how does one dodge and slip? Practice on a slip rope, shadowboxing, double end bag. If you got a friend, have them work mitts for you and let them mix in straights and jabs so you can practice defense. >>253712This is the reason I dislike being a lefty.
