What’s up /xs/bros. I’m Mortis, the new /xs/ divegrass manager. Our extreme virtual divegrass team will be competing in the upcoming 4cc Autumn Babby Cup. Use this thread to comment your suggestions for players, aesthetics, tactics, any thoughts on the overall team, or be the first /xs/ anon to call the new manager a fag.Our board is home to a wide variety of extreme sports, so I would love to see a little more representation of sports that haven’t gotten a chance to shine. I’m also looking into getting our team our very first stadium, something that can hopefully be finalized in the future.This will be my first cup as manager so please support our team this next cup. Let’s show all the other boards that it’s not about the size of our board that matters, it’s about how long it takes to learn a new skate trick without giving up, how many times we get thrown on the mat by our opponent and we still get up, how we go for that steep hill on our bike without bailing. Whatever extreme sport you practice, it’s about the extreme passion you have.And remember, you don’t have to be a musician to be an Earth Rocker.
>>246663Keep it up and next time it will be better.
So we lost today's game 0-4. That's the final game of this cup for us. I'm not here to make excuses. I apologize for the performance we had this cup. I promise there will be huge changes coming when the Spring cup comes around. Changes such as roster changes, tactical changes, a new stadium that I will do my best to get, etc. Thank you to everyone that supported this team during this cup. We will be back, Earth Rockers never die.>>246828This will be the first change. The only reason he played in this cup is because this was my first cup managing and I wanted to see if he still had it, but no, this nigga is GONE.>>246887Thanks buddy

>and then shimpan--you mean the referee.>well, he called it hansoku and--you mean a foul.>well, and that's the only reason I lost my shiai--you mean your match.>I mean, well, its just that I had a much superior waza and yet--you mean technique.
>>255677>>255676Somewhat niche even in Japan. very niche in the west. you'll have an easier time finding koryu, or even koryu gekiken in the west than this, unfortunately for those interested. An anecdote Ive read is that Donn Draeger, most famous for his koryu and judo work was incredibly good at jukendo to the point they did not want him in their tournaments.
I'm getting annoyed at how expensive a brand new kendo shinai is. I've decided to make a fukuro shinai and a tsuba for it instead.
>>255677Just use a spear

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!
>>253449>sheGo away, fawning faggot.
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?

>>257131The way Onosato is wrestling right now, easily doable.
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
>>253485Rather be in jail then dead you stupid chucklehead dicklicker
>>253485>MMA is uselessCompletely useless is an exaggeration. But certain techniques or strategies being bad for the different conditions of the street is perfectly true. One of the most egregious is the ground-and-pound strategy. If you want to look good in court or use minimal force you can just pin the guy once they’re on the ground, and if you want to look bad or are in an extreme situation that calls for drastic action you can stomp them properly to disable their limbs or potentially kill them. But ground-and-pound has the worse of both worlds with none of the benefits. >The last thing you want to do in a street fight is grapple someone and try to throw muay thai knees or submit them.Not all grappling is ground grappling. Standing submissions exist, and the rear-naked-choke has been adopted by many police forces with success. If your criticizing grappling more generally then you should know the judo and aikido you praise are technically considered grappling arts. I don’t know about Muay Thai’s specific style but knees are useful when dealing with close opponents.
boxing and wrestling are all you need really
>>255995>also you could do enough damage without needing control if you finger someone just rightspeaking from traumatic experience?
>>248213>Most martial arts technique is useless in MMA or no rules fighting. Most wrestling grips, judo, bjj techniques go out the windowYeah, maybe for niggers, yeah.
I'll start>Scorpion Rib CrushThis is a variant of do-jime (banned judo technique but legal in BJJ and MMA) where you have an opponent in closed guard and squeeze your knees on their floating ribs.Here's a video of a WMMA fighter using it to win in Bellator:https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Pel1w2tZYLAVery hit-or-miss but can either>do nothing (if they have a strong core)>break ribs>fuck up organs (supposedly)You can hear the opponent yell out and tap immediatelyComment too long.

Has any MMA match ever been won through biting, whether in a match that allowed it or not?
>>256472Yeah watch KOTS
>>214961That is the weirdest fucking choke I've ever seen. Fucking bump, this thread is amazing.
>>244213Oleinik's whole career is weird submissions, he isn't the best fighter but he's fun to watch cause of his style
I've been practicing archery for a while (never done a tournament) as a hobby. Is it feasible to go to the Olympics in 2028? How can I do it?
Hello everybody . So like a 6 months ago my old "friend" begged me to lent my dh mtb to his friend, and I told it would be a good idea to strengthen our friendship. with some hesitation I lent it to them the next day. Shortly after 2 days they returned everything was fine, and than they begged me to lent them bike again because his friends bike was broken, and we decided to store it at my basement. Than 1,2 days after they took that broken bike out of basement and sold it. And then begged to lent my dh Bike again for 4 days, because "I don't need I'm not riding that much" well yes I was preparing for exams. I said like ok but not for more days, my parents didn't knew that I lent it. Than passed like 2,3 weeks of me literally begging them to return it, also my "old friend" was my classmate so I was questioning him every day, and he replied : it's not my problem you lent bike to him not to me. I can write even more in details what happend but it would be long if anyone interested in. After 3 weeks of me begging them they returned me it, transmission destroyed, and every bearing was with rusty water. As an excuse for what they did, they said that I abandoned my friend when we were 13 years old in the forest, and it was telling his friend who wasn't even at the moment it happend, basically imagine the start of small local forest near city where many people hanging out, and we left him in close to exit area waiting for him like literally a wide trail that goes only in one way, as result he walked out with bike only with some mud stains on shirt. And that was an excuse, ok but then they told that they found buyer for my cycle, but they will be selling it without me without my supervision because they told everybody that it's their cycle. I declined it and then they threatened me that they won't give back my tools that I lent them earlier. At this point I told my parents about it, and I got my tools back, and it's not the end of the story. It is too long.
what lessons did you learn?
>>246766yea, dont lend people anything. i had to go around to my neighbours to get my paintbrush back that they never used after 3 months,
>>246766well you learned who your friends really are.As a proper bike autist I never let people borrow anything that I want back in the end.And never to anyone who is black, Indian, or has any kind of YN behavior
>>246766Register your bike on bikeindex and with the local police. If someone "borrows" your bike and won't give it back, tell the police it's stolen and you know who stole it. And never lend those people anything again, ever.

Been watching Chris' vids for a fair bit, but have they always felt this propagand-y?His coverage of info is generally good but for a while at least it felt as if they were loaded with particular sentiments towards topics, who does this man have a bone to pick with?
>>256731all of the current board members.
>>256731Anyone he perceives a disagreement with.He left Sumoforums over a decade ago after he asked for critique on the sumo book he was writing. And then had a massive sperg out when people had critiques.
Started training my hands referencing Wolff's law, currently using a single piece of cardboard covering cinder blocks. Averaging about 200 strikes (chain, straight, body punches) a day. I also use a grip resistance palm clench about the same amount of reps. Any other ideas how to strengthen the knuckles and joints? Curious about adding more calcium rich foods into my diet as well.
>>244584try press-ups where you point the fingers towards each other in the middle, and flip the hands over between each rep.palms on the floor, middle finger tips not too far apart, lower your chest to your hands, then press up and use the momentum to lift your hands off the floor. flip the hands over so you land on the backs of your hands instead, and repeat, alternating. makes your wrists sturdy.i'm not that gym-strong but my gym bro friends mire this cause they can't do it. they also mire being able to pull up on a doorframe. they can do way more pullups than i can on a bar, but can't do one when they need to grip with just the fingertips. try that too.
>>244584Why?
>>244584you'll probably end up creating built up damage and fragility that way. Punch softer things forever, not harder things occasionally.
Thoughts?tl;dr The last one was great, looking forward to the next one.
>>241669wtf already?
>>241687Unfortunately. Well it was free like Craig promised, too bad I wasn't able to watch 14 hours of video in two days...
