ITT: We take a non-extreme sport and change it to make it extreme.

Marathon but you can sabotage your opponents any way you want. Weapons allowed. Basically the Road Rash game but on foot.

Dodgeball with bocce.

Polo but with rodeo horses.

Water polo but the water is slightly acidic so your skin and eyes start to burn after a while and you can only get out (rotating with other team members) once you score.

Any motor sport but without brakes.

Soccer with bowling balls.

Squash but the room is so narrow and you can get hit by the other player's racket.

iirc a lot of bodybuilder physiques are completely incompatible with standard athletics, once you have a certain ratio of muscle vs bone it becomes dangerous if not downright impossible to perform the kind of motions you need to in classic athletic events like hurdles, sprints, etc. This is for your extreme bodies though like the ones you posted not just someone who's buff.

I want to like Napoleon Blownapart, since he's genuinely witty and informative, but he sometimes goes on tangents that make no sense and his general opinions on the state of MMA are utterly hypocritical.
>Trashes any sort of traditional martial arts except for maybe Judo which have the whole values of honor, discipline and respect and doesn't even try to consider there is some legit stuff behind it and the only big problems being both McDojo and the cult-mentality of certain traditionalist places (which the old masters wouldn't even have approved of to begin with)
>Wonders suddenly why McDojos are propping up for BJJ and MMA, and is in such heavy copium he doesn't even call them McDojos even though they clearly are, because that would mean acknowledging that it's popularity that causes McDojos to open up, not just a style being bullshido or "flashy and old"
>Wonders why neo-nazis and dictators like MMA so much even though that crowd has always been attracted to the "dirtbag" aesthetic which MMA and Blownapart himself always promoted. He just dismisses this as being a "gamergate/comicgate effect" (which is absolutely insane to say)
>Trashes the current state of MMA and praises J-MMA as being superior but barely does any coverage for J-MMA and keeps on doing the same sensationalist videos about mainstream western MMA.
>Didn't even cover the things Raja Jackson did to Syko Stu because of his bias towards Rampage Jackson.
>Is friends with Super Eyepatch Wolf
On one hand, I genuinely respect a lot of his takes, but he genuinely drops the idiot ball way too many times in his recent videos especially. I get that he's left-leaning, but it is bizarre to me how he does the same talking points as MMA right-wing racists when it comes to asian martial arts and the gi aesthetic but at the same time, trash-talks those same racists
It's just hypocritical.
On the bright side, he's better than Armchair Violence who is just a smug pretentious contrarian. But still

It has a great joint lock system. But you're better off learning Aiki-Jujutsu or Japanese Jujutsu that uses the same sort of joint lock system. So why bother? You're better off learning those and completing it off with Judo for maximum efficiency.

Most scholars now agree that Sokkaku essentially made that all up. Unlike what that anon seems to suggest however, he was considered an expert martial artists, yes even among the competitive martial arts scene at the time. He was known for his skill in very early kendo matches, but swordsmanship was not very popular at the time so he started teaching jujutsu. Where he learned jujutsu no one knows. He was considered good at sumo, but his system looks a lot like classical jujutsu, albeit far less organized than systems with an actual koryu lineage. Sokkaku also refused to take Ukemi, because he was incredibly paranoid. So unlike in classical Jujutsu where the teacher takes the falls for the student, in Daito ryu and Aikido the student usually takes the falls for the teacher.

Hello everyone,
I am conducting a short academic survey as part of a master’s thesis in architecture. The research focuses on tourism pressure, infrastructure, and spatial responsibility in high alpine environments.
I am particularly interested in your perception of overcrowding, hut capacity, and how new infrastructure in extreme landscapes should be handled.
The survey is anonymous and used exclusively for academic research.
Thank you for your time and insights! :)

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

Offense is the best defense and there's no way to avoid it. Reaction is always hundreds of milliseconds slower than action and if someone looks like they're about to jump you, you better attack first. Otherwise you'll end up out cold after a sucker punch and no amount of training is going to save you. To be able to entice violence you need to be athletic and you need to master at least one offensive technique. With these presuppositions you only have a limited scope of martial arts that actually work. It's boxing and any other similar striking art that teach you how to really fight and not practice static katas. Freestyle wrestling and MMA are generally good but you really need to know how to throw a good one two. Sparring is a must until you're no longer afraid to eat a few shots and keep retaliating.
There's no way around it, kid. You either speak violence or you don't.

Bad example, as the West doesn't give a shit about karate; any martial art with kata (dance moves meant to help train muscle memory) is generally only taught to children, plus any martial art that talks about chi/ki/qi is openly mocked.

I'm not sure you know what karate is, anon. BTW, during the 80s when Eastern martial arts became famous in the West, the one to grow the biggest was Judo. TKD and karate had to be westernized into kickboxing because the mysticism of it all was considered ridiculous.

Because usa already had boxing for a specialist style, that's not to say boxing is better than Muay thai, i like it far more than boxing but the audience was already captured by boxing so no other style can replace it just like in thai land no other style actually matters because they have Muay thai.
Japan has a variety of styles but all are japanese and lets them pick their flavor of autism.

Mma was able to grow in usa because the concept of a completely alien style facing eachother like boxing vs wrestling was unique and an entire new genre of autism that tickled the tribalism aspect of human nature.
Humans like to create communities and like the feeling of belonging to one and other communities are enemies, this is human nature and its why team sports are so popular, it allows the viewers to feel as part of a community and fight others and prove the superiority of their own, mma allows this which no other specialist style allows.
Mma fans that hate grappling hate it not because grappling itself is bad but because the hyperspecialization goes against the very nature of mma, nobody complains about grappling in mma when they are beating the shit out of eachother then scramble and try to rip eachother arms off or flatten their face on the ground, people complain when there's 20 minutes of ground control and minimal strikes or even submission attempts.
It would be like if in muay thai someone goes for the clinch but never does anything with it, no knees, elbows or sweeps or if they spend most of the match snap kicking the leg while running away avoiding everything to win on points because the other guy didn't land anything.

Muay thai can't be successful outside thailand because everyone else already have their sports established and it doesn't offer anything than the others don't.
That said even in thailand its being slowly assimilated by kickboxing and mma.

>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 believe
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.

>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.

Kendo 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.

>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.
