What is the best martial art if you are normal sized (5'11/6 foot) but physically weak (110 pounds)? Those are my stats.

Eskrima sounds nice but you can't carry sticks or knives around with you like an fighting game character.

>t. 110 5’7 manlet
If you’re 110 at 6 feet, you are extremely underweight and undermuscular for your size.

Both of these put you at serious injury risk, I wouldn’t do a combat sport till you get that handled and get to a normal BMI. Even as a shortie who doesn’t need much more massI found bjj and wrestling extremely hard on my shoulder and knee joints, and a major cause of this was fat and muscle are the padding protecting both once someone with wrestler forehead wants to give either a 180 degree rotation.

You can ignore this advice, but if you do, go buy your leg sleeves now, because you’re gonna be wearing them for a half year within 3 months.

If you're thinking of carry weapons and you obly weigh 110lbs dont be suprised when my 5'7 186lbs ass puts you in hospital and get charged with causing GBH... maybe actually eat sime fucking food and justclearn to fight if you want to fight. I cant understand people like you and i thi k you'd have a vetter prospective after 16 years of kickboxing gyms and 6 of BJJ.. you're going to pull a stick out on the wrong person one day and thats worse than just shoving them because they're going to think you're trying to kill someone so they're going to over react and go overboard on your ass and you're going to be holding the shitty end of that stick my boy..

I used to do that when I was little, we swang from Eucaliptus trees hair-like branches down a steep rope. Shit was crazy, but they'd probably snap if you weigh more than 40kgs. We also used to climb a very tall tree (four story building in height) which was a pine tree I guess but not one of those straight-withouth-branches

stock class and pump on the airball field is infinitely more fun than using semi and electros. i put on pump airball days with 8-14 guys showing up typically. we do saturdays since sundays is more popular with the speedball guys. im always able to convince the 3-4 dudes with electros who DO show up to give pump a try. they always love it, and everyone appreciates the faster paced, short games. with pumps, you are able to pull off way crazier moves and no one is staying put and hiding behind bps. even when the pace and action are ramped up, you will NeVER catch a pump guy cheating/wiping.

yea that era of paintball was the peak.
mags and cockers, actual athleticism and big paint.
i had a shit ton of folks outraged when i suggested a "Classic Mech League" with no space mechs allowed.
-revvys only
-single trigger
-mags and cockers only
-no r/t, no hair trigger, limit lbs/trigger pull

the emek and mech trigger kit electro guys were very butthurt that i would come up with a mech game they weren't allowed to hide behind bps with. "you should allow emeks at least" "these rules
make no sense, theres no difference between modern mechs and the older stuff" "no one will show up to a game like that, its unsponsorable"
definitely gave me more incentive to try and actually put something together.

The idea back then i think, at least on the allied side. Was to teach some basic and easy to learn strikes that would quickly disable your opponent. William E. Fairbairn developed his own fighting style called "Defendu" or "gutter fighting" based of his experience in Shanghai. He taught this to OSS operatives.
>>
>>241980
most of this was theoretical. u can take a much harder object and do permanent damage but a edge of hand strike to the nose will never be fatal unless you shoot them in the head afterwards.

i've been doing boxing for some years but recently got a shoulder injury that will take many months to recover. Unfortunately i cannot do sparring and other heavy training and can only do light exercises and practice combinations that are not too taxing on the shoulders. What types of training can i do to keep up in the meantime so i do not lose progress or at least have something where i can improve?. I was thinking on focusing on footwork, coordination drills and light shadowboxing for technique but i can't seem to incorporate them well enough.

What do you mean that you can't incorporate them well enough?

I'll probably get hate for this but Tai Chi might be a really good option. It's basically footwork, coordination, and shadowboxing but the whole point is to develop relaxed strength; coordination is a huge part of that. As long as you find a good teacher who isn't super woo woo I think it will be really good.

But that also depends on the nature of your injury...
>>
>>235806
Basically i dislocated my shoulder many years ago during weight training. After that it was extremely sensible to overhand movement(sports like swimming, volleyball, etc are a no go) and would dislocate stremely easily. Iwas told just recently that it should not be strained since it could do long term damageto the shoulder. What i do in the meantime are foodwork drills, coordination and light technique with partners, but i can feel my stamina and strenght slowly declining over time.

I used to do boxing in high school (3 years). I'm now 36. Thinking of starting karate. Which type is good?
Should I do shotakon karate? Or I have an ashihabara karate school right next to my house, it seems the best for me.

(I already did TKD (Taekwondo not Total Kike Death) and Muay Thai and I didn't like it much but ashihabara karate seems cool and more useful from videos)

Before I start, I wanted to get a bit more /fit/, so I lost a lot of weight, got down to 77 kg from 88, I'm 187 cm. Still no visible abs but I think I should be good to go

the focus on forms n weird shit for belt rank progression will be not too different from the tkd bs u had to do. not sure why u want to do that if u already box and theoretically understand how to train to fight and be fit. go find a kickboxing/muay thay school that has a big emphasis on competition.

>Scorpion Rib Crush

This 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/Pel1w2tZYLA

Very 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 immediately

If they haven't managed to take out all the slack, you can twist to the side and roll out of it (ideally, grab their left ankle with your left hand and pull till you "spin" enough to take the pressure off.)

You're still going to land in a trash position, but it's at least an attempt at survival.
