chess boxing, sure
>>261866extreme speed chess would be entertaining, maybe have magnetic pieces or not because that would be more extreme if the piece could potentially fly around. maybe skydiving chess or roaring rapids chess, zero-g chess wouldnt be very extreme unless it was done in a zero-g simulator plane because the gravity fluctuates. maybe between moving pieces or specific maneuvers you could throw a punch at your opponent or something

>>258984I almost know that feel I almost hit my sensei in men when we were just doing our kirikaeshi and instead of going the usual right I went left since my brain dropped the ball completely. I stopped right before it just seeing the look of my sensei just crumpled me into a tissue.
>pre-war kendo allowed strikes during sonkyofuuuuark. I wish I could punish people for not taking sonkyo seriously.
Ok, I'll be the brave soul and say what everyone else is thinking.I wish I could use the korean velcro hakama.
did my first ever tournament in kyuu, managed to snatch one win (even if the third guy forfeited) and could've almost done one more.all in all it was fun while it lasted, but showed i'm still lacking a lot physically but also mentally. i was quite lucky today.
>>261595Tournaments are really important to highlight weak areas in your technique and spirit.I hope you had a friend record your shiai so you can see for yourself the parts that don’t work from an outside prospective.Anyway, nicely done the first tournament is something that you won’t forget.

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.original thread >>1236
>>253165the safe answer is by training plyometrics, lifting, crosstraining calisthenics and the like. the real answer is we just send it. don't forget that half of the athletes in our sport are too young to vote, and the other half suffer the consequences of our previous training habits. there shouldn't be anyone under the age of 25 who's had an acl surgery but i personally know at least two, due entirely to an injury sustained from either parkour or tricking and if i were a little bit more retarded, i'd also need one.

>>240440NO!this fat retard had a competitive back and forth with a fucking midget because he had no opportunities to engage in grappling.Sean beat him by having okay defense and being patient enough to not give him easy takedowns. He was just lucky.

How do Muay Thai fighters train? Do they do technique, cardio, sparring, and calisthenics?
no none of that
yes to all
i'd argue you have to ways. running and lifting or bike and calisthenics. i'd rather do bike and calisthenics
Where do you sit on the tradition vs sport debate?
>>259715Only dorks complain about sports. The traditional martial artists in history were also competing against each other. Pressure testing is necessary for improvement.
>>259715traditions are perpetually becoming sports
Tradition to me implies an unbroken lineage which is not what we have today in martial arts or things like HEMA. All the Chinese stuff is basically made up (did you know all these "ancient" kung fu styles post-date Queensberry rules boxing?). HEMA is just dweebs with pony tails trying their best to recreate things from books, but it's preposterous to pretend that these dweebs are somehow in the same continuum as a guy that was getting into actual sword fights 16th century Venice or whatever.Sports are ultimately also much more effective manifestations of whatever art they're based on because they actually compete and engage in the thing they're teaching (albeit in simulated ways). Any Olympic style fencer that tries HEMA ends up destroying everybody because of superior fundamentals like foot work and distance management (let's not even talk about sports combat vs kung fu guys, we all know how that goes). Culture clashing in reality is a common theme throughout humanity, and in the end it's always reality that wins out. How you feel about that is up to you.
Stupid unrealistic shit. Both would get slaughtered.A swordsman with no shield gets slaughtered by a spearman with no shield 99% of the time.A swordsman or a spearman with no shield gets slaughtered by anyone with a bow or just darts. Every Roman soldier carried with him a bunch of darts for this reason.
Is the debate between sport vs “tradition” or do you mean something like sport vs “martial art”.Any sport can be a tradition. Even if you believe kendo is a sport, it’s still a tradition. Just because something is traditional doesn’t make it more realistic or whatever.Arguably, HEMA is less of a tradition than kendo, as it is a reconstructed art. But I guess that depends on your idea of tradition.>>261245A Roman soldier would be easily dispatched by my Glock 19

>>258718its just fact man riding a jetski once causes minor but permanent CTE
>>258721Sure dudeMaybe blinking too much? Somebody giving you a jumpscare?
All the uproar about boxing deaths is based on emotionalism rather than rational reasoning. People have crunched the numbers, and there have been less than 500 fatalities since the 1950's, and that's out of millions of bouts. A disproportionate numbers are also from before 1983, which is when they tightened up a lot of safety regulations. Since 2000 there's about 1-2 fatalities per year, on average. Being a pizza delivery driver is probably more dangerous than being a boxer. Two fighters dying on the same card is a complete freak statistical anomaly, and as unfortunate as it is, it's not really representative of anything.It doesn't even relate to sparring, anyway. Dying from subdermal hematoma because you got walloped for 12 rounds straight by a pro boxer is a completely different ball game than playing patty cake at 30% intensity at your local gym Muay Thai gym.Also if you want a real redpill, the clinical evidence we have for CTE even existing in the first place is very poor, let alone its prevalence.

why don't more people skate with bigger wheels? I'm talking 60mm and above.it feels so much better to skate when you're not trying to balance precariously on little tiny baby wheels, where even a speck of dust will send you flying.
>>247103couldn't be me
>>247103Personally, I can't stand anything smaller than 90. 110 is best, feels like flying. On small wheels you kick back 10 times to reach the speed I get in two kicks, might as well run in place just to waste your energy lmao>inb4 muh slidesdon't give a shit bro, I skate for speed not show-off le slides with 50% chance of falling, injuring myself and missing out on the skating season
I skate spitefire classic 52mm cuz i do sick tricks, but i also have a cruiser with some thick OJs
>>260992This kind of post is to be expected from someone who confuses durometer with size, and admits they miss half their tricks. I'm sure people are very impressed when you show off your speed.
>>261014no he's a longboarder lol. 110 durometer doesn't exist and he can't slide. ud be sliding all over with 100 durometer

>>262259Get them against a wall>but that's against the ruleswell, so is running awayOr just go for their legs immediately
>>262259if they're intimidated you'll have to let them get some grips or attachment and counter. you could also pull guard so they come forward, and wrestle up.
Anyone else developed a cursed game?My defense from terrible positions has become to intentionally give up the back so I can counter from there.Despite it being an obvious retard move I can defend quite well against back takes and often land in the opponent's close guard where I can attack normally again.This isn't my standard defense plan but I feel like it works to a degree since I intentionally give up the back but already put up a defense so my opponents don't RNC me. The vast majority of times I can get out of the back take and it is genuinely faster than esacping from side mount or top mount in certain cases.
>>264097this means your training partners suck>land in the opponent's close guard where I can attackyeah they definitely suck. get better at pin escapes
>>264471No this is part of a new paradigm. I will change the meta. I am going to norffcmaxx so my upper body resembles a barrel more than it does a torso. Then no one will be able to RNC me. They will all roll off. This will be revolutionary.

>>259380Disc goes into river. You dont want to lose the 20 bucks that that disc cost. You wade into river and almost drown. That or you twist an ankle in the woods. Or medial epicondylitis from bad throwing form.
