(note to mods: so activities here are illegal but Im asking whether this exists, not incentivizing it)
Is there any groups that do ARG as a sport\hobby? Probably they keep it secret but, it seems there's an overlap between chaos Magick in urban centres, underground music (punk, black metal, some obscure electronic genres), militant far-left groups...So far ,by my poor research I know of trends such as:
>extreme graffiti, including dangerous urban exploring, and urban (Clandestine) rappelling
>that sport where you use roller blades in your 4 limbs and slide trough-down speeding cars
>train-hopping (not trainspotting), pioneered in Germany by "youth gangs"
>"expose risk challenges" Bringing a banned item into a place and photographing yourself holding it. Like that nerd with the LSD tablet in Mecca. Maybe Mein Kampf inside a synagogue, a portrait of Bomber Harris inside a Berlin pub, whatever
>crowd surfing, last-hour taking trains or subways, sewer line exploration or abandoned train carriage\ factory squatting ,and camping, etc
does this exist? or am I too meth-headed?

I've always wanted to play an assassination game

>>218976
it's more like a single elimination round robin until only one person is left, every time someone dies you advance
as long as you're alive you're still in the game
maybe it's strategic to not take out your target right away, let them clear out some people first

the game needs a handler though for everyone to report to and keep things organized. Might end up with a situation where 2 players are assigned each other before the end, or someone makes their would be assassin and takes them out first
that's when the handler needs to reassign targets to keep the game moving

The sudden appearance of the English army caught the Norwegians by surprise. The English advance was then delayed by the need to pass through the choke-point presented by the bridge itself. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle and the Chronicle of Henry of Huntingdon has it that one of the Norwegians (possibly armed with a Dane Axe) blocked the narrow crossing and single-handedly held up the entire English army. The story is that this Viking alone cut down up to 40 Englishmen and was defeated only when an English soldier floated under the bridge and thrust his spear through the planks in the bridge, mortally wounding the warrior. His name was not preserved in the aftermath of this battle.

Its not just a striking problem. If you're stuck in that stance, backwards movement is sort of your only choice for dealing with shots that aren't done from half a mile away. Or side stepping hip throws. Bad news when you get to the cage. Like any stance there's pros and cons, but being unable to get out of it is gonna be rough.

Traditional Ohdokwan back-stance is actually quite square. Not bladed like you see in the Olympics. Plus bending ready stance is a check against a groin kick. So some Taekwon-do stances work better than others. As for close distance? Practice your boonhae so you can apply all the bridging moves from the Hyung. If you school offers it, work on your hapkido and obviously get some yudo down ASAP. All traditional Taekwon-Do Yudansha were yudoka also. Taekwon-Do doesn’t work without yudo. Finally, if you have time, practice Taekyeon, if you can find it. That’s where you can learn your soft striking to really increase your skillset. Taekwon!

I'm glad someone asked this. TKD has some good shit in it for real combat, the kicks and the movement is top tier. But the problem is the lack of any sort of real threat and defense with the hands. Boxing is literally the spine of striking, it's so important. Thing is, tkd already has been fixed. Kickboxing is literally just tkd with boxing. So there, problem solved.

you only have one life, might as well try it.

Parkour thread.

Where are you at with your training? How have you been working around the limits of weather and lockdowns? How much do you apply the utilitarian Hébertist mindset of being strong to be useful to your training routines?

Freerunners can post, too. Maybe even gymnasts and trickers if you don't get your own thread up and running.

Merry Christmas again, traceurs. Maybe we can get some OC in the new year and liven up the slowest thread on this board. How many active practitioners do we have lurking? I moved out of the city last year and haven't been training, need to get around to building some obstacles to jump around on.

anyone here done this shit before? i first became aware of it back in 2015 and the idea of it made me want to shit my pants but ever since i see nothing but reels on instagram of people doing it and now i know that i must. theres not too much on the internet about this though aside from some training schools, youtube comments and videos that ive found. people saying,"dont do this if you plan to have kids" but then checking the accident/fatality rate of participants and its pretty low. what kind of gear do you guys get for this shit and is this the type of sport you can expect to die doing in reality or is that just for people who are shooting for a redbull helmet, not the casuals?

What do you mean by "better"? Faster? Safer? More bitchin?

You can make speed flying, skydiving, skydiving with a wingsuit, base jumping, or base jumping with a wingsuit as suicidally dangerous as you want. Skydiving without a wingsuit can probably be made safest out of those options. Speed flying can be made fairly safe, but the dangers of launching from the ground are present on every flight. Fucking up a launch is a great way to break bones. Landing a speed wing is almost always going to be more dangerous than landing a BASE parachute because of the speed involved. Landing a skydiving parachute can be made to be pretty safe depending on the parachute you're using as well as the fact that you'll basically always going to be be landing in a giant, flat, grassy field. Base jumping and wingsuit base jumping will always be the most dangerous because it is the fastest, most chaotic of all. Fucking up an exit can kill you pretty quick. Fucking up the wingsuit flight part can kill you pretty quick. Fucking up your parachute deployment can kill you pretty quick. There's maybe a 1 in 1000 to 1 in 10,000 chance that even if you do everything right, your parachute will malfunction and either hurt or kill you (line over/tension knots/bridle ties a knot around your pilot chute/etc.). The safest speedflight would look something like using a 16m wing to launch from a steep grassy hill in a steady 5 knot headwind, flying high above and away from the hill, and then landing in a large grassy field, or maybe a sand dune. A really dangerous speedwing flight would be something like launching a 6m wing in a slight tailwind on a hill above a cliff, and then doing a bunch of barrel rolls close to the ground while flying through windy canyons, followed by a landing on a sloped, rocky LZ. The former would be much safer than any kind of base jump, with or without a wingsuit, the latter would be more dangerous than most wingsuit jumps that have been done.
>>
>>213955
Cont.

The bottom line is that most flights with speedwings are going to be safer than most wingsuit base jumps, and most speedwing flights are going to be more dangerous than most wingsuit skydives.

All of that being said, I've done all of the above, and if I could only pick one, I would wingsuit base jump.
>>
>>213959
Of all those listed - wingsuit base will take you the most time and money to get into.

You need 200 skydives before anyone will even think of teaching you wingsuit flying, and at least 500 of those before anyone will take you a wingsuit base launch
>>
>>216243
This is true. Your first wingsuit base jump will probably set you back about $40k+ depending on whether international travel will be involved. Flying a speedwing will set you back about $5k including gear.
>>
>>209972
I haven't done speed flying, but I have flown my parachute down a mountain about 40 times now. It's amazing. This truly is one of the greatest things I've done in my life, and I can't reccomend it enough. it's dangerous, and it is going to set you back in dollars and times (>3 years, >10k)
