First episode is out.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCsR-zxwN1Y>What is the Ultimate Self-Defense Championship?A bit over a year ago, former Aikidoka YouTuber Rokas Leo set up a tournament with a self-defense "academy" to have himself and five other martial arts YouTubers compete to see who is best at self-defense. It was a hilarious shitshow that nearly crippled one of the contestants, Ramsey Dewey who would later get into an internet spat with the guy behind the academy (Jeff Phillips) and described the entire event as "piss poor" due to poor management, an incoherent and arbitrary scoring system, running on a very limited schedule, and timing events terribly (like having a zombie apocalypse-themed event that didn't influence score in the middle of the entire thing instead of at the end or something) and doing comically dangerous shit like making people fight on a narrow bridge a good 30ft above the ground.Somehow, he kickstarted a second one, which features even less martial arts YouTubers.
>>269316>Yikes, you chose to stay retardedbut i don't practice or shill aikido.>You're wrongyou don't train or fight.>Anon, knowing more submissionsand even "good" aikido sucks at teaching submissions in ways applicable to grapplers. with 90%+ of aikido it's literally a detriment.>but all the wrist locks grapplers use today were invented by aikidoanother blatant lie. there is exactly zero impact aikido made on combat sports. prove me wrong, you won't. not a single move or thing.>who often cross-trainedthe only thing you seem to have cross training in is stealing credit and mental gymnastics.>And so the fool starts projecting.prove me wrong, woman. show me you have anything to do with martial arts(not aikido) at all that you deserve to talk about them or give judgment. because you don't, that's why you try to defend this pretentious bullshido.>I merely acknowledged their heritage in improving grappling as a whole by supplementing judo and jiu-jutsuand you did this by lying through your teeth and making shit up. good job.
>>269428>prove me wrong, woman. show me you have anything to do with martial arts(not aikido)Not him, but how would you even suggest he do this? You want him to dox himself with a video of throwing a punch or something? Are you saying you wouldn't immediately deflect by complaining that the punch doesn't look practiced enough or something?To me it reads like you just got extremely asspained that someone said something positive about aikido and immediately started sperging like an internet tough guy from 2009.

>>269970>Not him, but how would you even suggest he do this?posting a belt or gi or other piece of training uniform, preferably with a timestamp. posting a faceless body pic that shows he works out. etc. >someone said something positive about aikidyeah, people get mad when you try to shill blatant mall ninja slop as something worthwhile. you'd get laughed off the board if you tried this with something equally retarded like krav maga or systema but fags think they get a pass because it's from japan.>started sperging like an internet tough guy from 2009.if you want to shill aikido you need to get a license by being reality checked with a real takedown, kick or a punch from a committed opponent first. that's the absolute least you could do before you deserve to open your mouth.

Do you guys make notes and diagrams for your martial arts and have reference books?I have been thinking about getting the Kodokan book since I won't be doing judo for the foreseeable future and also making notes for my karate and judo.
>>264809Unbalancing someone isn't a step in the process, it's the end goalThis is why people have so much trouble knocking each other over when its the most piss easy thing to do, they're not focusing their intention People practice this shit like it's a waltz they actually count it out 123 123 step turn lift step turn lift That's not real, it's barely a step above chi blasts. I can't even talk to judo people about this because I'm dealing with retardsThis guy who is a physican mind you said not to lift weights "that's time you could've spent training"
>>264814>I can't even talk to judo people about this because I'm dealing with retardsI've been genuinely wondering if you are low- to mid-functioning autistic because of the way you hamstring yourself with asinine absolutes and don't seem to grasp abstract concepts.
>>264815Abstraction is exactly what Im trying to avoidI'm rejecting judo as a philosophy and a system"maximum efficiency, minimum effort"I say "maximum effectiveness, efficiency is irrelevant" if it was effective then it was exactly as efficient as it needed to beI reject 8 directionsA circle isn't 8 directions, why only 8, why not 16, why not 137? Because 8 is important in Buddhism and the old midget in a dress said soAnd then there's the clasifications, Nami, kata, and gyaku jime are the same exact move for example The direction your thumb is pointing is wholly irrelevant to mechanically choking someone You could even complete that choke without gripping at all because the wrist bone is what's applying the pressure There is too much internal focus on what your body is doing and not enough on the external of how is it affecting the other person How often have you seen people fumbling around because they can't finish these basic ass collar chokes and it's because they're so transfixed about having the precise correct grip, making sure that their 4 fingers are hooking just right, and their thumbs aren't facing the wrong direction, Meanwhile they have no pressure on the arteries
>>264819>I say "maximum effectiveness, efficiency is irrelevant" if it was effective then it was exactly as efficient as it needed to beNobody who trains seriously in any fighting discipline thinks this. You can easily gas yourself out prematurely with effective techniques executed inefficiently or with excess force. >A circle isn't 8 directions, why only 8, why not 16, why not 137?The same reason a typical compass rose is in eight directions: straight, sideways, and diagonal are good enough for a coarse description of the direction in which a human body is moving across the ground. Sometimes a specific direction between the eight is discussed for some niche application just like sometimes north-east-east is useful when giving a more precise heading but usually the eight are specific enough. >And then there's the clasifications, Nami, kata, and gyaku jime are the same exact move for exampleThese are similar choke variations but are not the "same exact move," which should be obvious to the guy who needs all 360 degrees of kuzushi defined for him. >There is too much internal focus on what your body is doing and not enough on the external of how is it affecting the other personEvery submission grappling school I've visited, judo included, explains how chokes work to the students so that they understand what they're trying to accomplish with the techniques they're learning.>How often have you seen people fumbling around because they can't finish these basic ass collar chokes and it's because they're so transfixed about having the precise correct grip, making sure that their 4 fingers are hooking just right, and their thumbs aren't facing the wrong direction, Meanwhile they have no pressure on the arteriesBasically never, but perhaps that's because I've never coached the special needs class. You teach people the objective and then show them some tools with which they can achieve that objective and they usually figure it out pretty quickly.
>>261823I asked >>>/ic//fig/>If I wanted to learn coarse-but-accurate figure drawing for the purpose of taking judo and other martial arts notes what vocabulary would I use to describe what I'm after and what would be the fastest way to grind that skill?and was told>That's quick sketching, you should be thinking of coarse shape and gesture primarily as you won't have more than 15-20 seconds to get a pose on paper.>https://www.amazon.com/Quick-Sketching-Ron-Husband-Expanded/dp/1138336742>https://www.amazon.com/Drawn-Life-Classes-Stanchfield-Lectures/dp/1032494816>those would be your bibles, both available on annas-archive.

New to comp but let's say you're in a REALLY bad position where you know you're going to risk an injury but your opponent is nowhere near a sub. Do you just instantly tap? I've had a few moments while rolling where I accidentally straight arm posted or had my wrist the wrong way and luckily I pulled it in time but I did make "OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT" remarks and stuff like that which my training partner let me adjust, can already tell that's probably a no go in competition for obvious reasons but I'm just trying to be smart about this without feeling dumb.
>>270474I don't understand the scenario
>>270474yelling OH SHIT OH SHIT or anything of that nature during a comp match can be viewed as a verbal tap by the ref and result in you losing the matchat the end of the day, you are responsible for your own personal safety and you have to make the final decision whether or not that plastic medal is worth 6 months of physical rehab
>>270474Dont try anything new the day of and dont scream mid roll. You should be fine>>270476I've been sitting on this for a while too. How many positions can one even find themselves in where they think injury is imminent absent a locked in sub? Especially at white belt where you're not gonna run in to leg entanglements or a twister or something of the sort you may not have seen in the training room.

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!
>>253448What's HMB?
>>268529because our sport is run by retarded faggots who want to exist only on a platform where your real name and info can be put on blast if you commit wrongthink
>>253448Hi all. MMA-ist coming from a karate > fencing > bjj > kickboxing > Kali background, with a bit of fucking about in HEMA and a bunch of other things.How do you get into this sort of thing? A full suit of armour seems like one of the higher-ends of sports expenses, just to be able to practice. I'm in NZ if that helps. Planning on moving to Wellington in near future, so I know/think there's a club there, but not a huge one.Also, what's some good drills/technicals one can practice outside of armed combat, for armoured combat? I know takedowns are a thing, but any special types or approaches?I do prefer striking and positioning to wrestlefucking though.
>>269982Turn up to your nearest club and get some practice in soft kit. Once you've proven you're not a retard, they'll let you borrow armour to train in.Buying armour can be a gradual thing. Sometimes second hand bits pop up, and people at your club/the captain are normally the first to hear about these. Personally, once I knew the sport was for me, I just bit the bullet and ordered a full set new, but that did come with its own problems.As for throws, baby's first judo will take you a long way, though you'll find everything you already know feels wrong in armour. If you prefer striking, Profights/outrance might be more your thing.
>>268529Facebook killed a lot of the old hobby forums. The alternatives, depending on your hobby, are Reddit and Discord.

I can attend either a Meibukan dojo or a Jundokan one. What do
Neither, karate is for idiots. Do BJJ and boxing for maximum ROI.

After 2+ years of back and forth with like 5 different doctors, I was finally able to convince one last month to send me for an MRI with contrast which show my wrist is completely fucked. There’s a lot wrong, but the biggest things are that I have a full thickness tear of my scapholunate (the surgeon literally said that it’s “gone”) and a partial tear in my TFCC. I need total reconstruction of the scapholunate and the jury is still out for how significant the tear in the TFCC is which will determine the surgical procedure they use for it. I know my wrist is never going to be the same, but has anyone else dealt with something like this before? I’d love to hear others’ experiences. Thanks!
>>261647kek
>>259518Well after a nice reprieve from bracing, for the last 2 months, I noticed my symptoms started getting worse, so now I’ve been upgraded to this for the rest of the summer and fall until I get surgery, at which point I’ll get to upgrade once again to a cast. Yay…
>>264971How’s the wrist doing now anon? You get surgery yet?
>>266098Nope, surgery still happening in the fall. My wrist is kinda falling apart though and now they’ve got me in a cast.
Have you had surgery yet anon?
What's up /xs/bros. I hope you've all been having a rad spring so far. I'm here to catch everyone up with how our divegrass team has been coming along. This past Autumn Cup was my first cup as manager. It was a very fun and retarded first run, but it was also a trainwreck in terms of results, as we lost the 3 games we had.Next weekend our team plays in the Spring Cup qualifiers. I swore to do much better this Spring Cup, so I've been working a lot on the tactics side. We've had a lot of help for our aesthetics from people outside of the team. We made a lot of changes, and a lot more changes are on the way. I know exactly what our stadium and ball will look like, but I was not able to make the time to make them. Those will be my priorities for the next cup.The schedule for the Spring Cup qualifiers next weekend is the followingApril 10 - vs /co/April 11 - vs /vst/April 12 - vs /lit/Please come support our team. I will do my best to get us out of these qualifiers and get into the proper Cup.I'd also like to remind everyone that we have a >dicksword for our team, and you're welcome to join. The invite link is on the contact info page on the rigged wiki.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>259174It's over...
Well, after a draw on Friday, a win yesterday, and a wild loss today, we won't be going to the Spring Cup. Thank you to every one that watched and supported this team. We'll be back this upcoming Autumn. I will be sure to have our stadium, ball, and other work that needs to be done, ready by Autumn. Keep on Earth Rocking.
>>259696Better luck next cup.

>>269569That's literally possible, but depending on which one is from the earlier year the sheer scale of how much more meat would have to be eaten to bring the average up, or how much meat everyone has given up to bring the numbers so far down, would be pretty massive.
