for 5 years i’ve tried to learn the ollie, this summer…this summer will be the one i know it
>>197121The foot sliding up the board more goes straight up and across slightly to keep contact. When this occurs you need to lift your back foot up so the tail has room to come up. The combination of these two actions work as a lever to balance out the board.Off the board, it is like hopping off your back and then lifting it to level your feet mid air.Ollies are easier stationary but I would recommend learning all tricks slightly rolling (unless this is your only way tompractice then go for it, better than nothing). Its almost like relearning the trick going from stationary to moving.Side note: I think learning a bunch of tricks stationary helped learn doing them fakie. My fakie flips are so much more consistent then kickflips.Also try keep your balance over your board and square. A bit more front foot orientated. Too often I see guys try Ollie's while being way too far back, commit to one and slip out and earn their first hipper.
Just do this.Also doing cavemans (cavemen?) and bonlessy shit is worth it. Gets you used to landing without eating shit.
>>194827What fucks them up is they don't realise they have to jump lol. They learn the tail pop and front foot pull but never actually leave the ground
>>198822I’m the anon you were replying to, and I actually got my first good ollies yesterday and it’s getting more fluid and consistent pretty fast. Jfc this board is slow, how is this thread still up lol?
>>194777I learned on year 6. Have had 2 foot ollies on lock for 6 years since. Everyone progresses differently, don't listen to people who tell you to quit. You go to the park you'll find 10 dudes giving you tips and encouragement. It's harder to be the guy that it's not natural. That it really does take 1,000 tries. But when you do you're gonna be so happy you did
Modern skateboarding fucking sucks. Everyone skates like a robot: same tricks, same style (both clothing and trick execution), everyone at the skateparks are way too serious and tryhard. Nobody carves or has any real style, just the same in-line tight truck 5 approved tricks tried endlessly in a row.How do we make skateboarding like 1988-1992 again? Bright day glo colors, giant ass fish boards with rails, tricks that are whatever the fuck you felt like doing that day and who fucking cares if you drag a hand or a toe as long as you surf out of it. People used to all have a sense of humor and goof around and improvise halfway through a trick, not stand around like soulless autistic robots and give up if the autism flip didn't land perfect in the sperg grind. And for the love of fuck, they listened to ROCK and METAL, not this horseshit faggot ass trap music rap bullshit.Skateboarding used to be rad as fuck and whatever gay shit it is today isn't worth being around. I don't see any tricks around today that weren't being done back then, it just had more pizzaz then.Like, watch this part and tell me you aren't 1000x more amped to skate than some bullshit dropped today: https://youtu.be/3c7XV-FC59k?si=RAAuO_Fu-BT8R2RF&t=21Fuck modern skateboarding, make skateboarding rad again.
>>200428I forgot>flooded indoor skatepark skimboardinglmao
>>186489Agree. I started making boards 6 years ago for this reason. Style is gone not only in skaters but in the boards. Mass produced in foriegn countries by robots for robots.
>>203651This being said. There are some new skaters that get me stoked. Vert is on it's way back. Those kids are nuts. Matau from Embassy rips. Skateboarding is what you make of it. New skaters don't annoy me as much as the skaters that harp on about having a "safe space". I think the skae scene needs that "skate and destroy" mentallity back. But bitching about how you wish it where the 90s scene again instead of building your scene, holding contests, and influencing it yourself seems kind of silly to me.
>>203653u like lukas miller? chris millers son. he's insane
Are there any YT channels similar to Braille from like 2018, and with less scientology? Since Aaron is now the leader of scientology in the San Francisco bay area, he's basically gave up everything to work for the cult.

>>196882There are some Filipino masters that will straight up tell you study HEMA and it will improve your FMA. I was also told personally to study the movements of Mike Tyson.
>>198780>I need to practice with random weaponsI was talking with a guy years ago who said that when hanging out in his FMA friend circle they'd toss everyday objects to each other to pass around and brainstorm ways to weaponize them; e.g., with a roll of toilet paper you could toss it as a distraction, damage an eye by crushing the edge of the cardboard tube straight into it, stuff it in an open mouth to impede breathing, et cetera.
>>201449>Roll of Toilet PaperThat sounds fucking awesome.
>>187193What about european stick fighting styles like irish or that portuguese one?
There is a Modern Arnis place near me it's part of the Deutsche Arnis Verband. I'm interested in stickfighting and this is the only place near me but they don't do any sparring. What do you think guys?
Is this faggot ever going to step into the octagon again?
>>203386No, and that's a good thing. I hope he can find something better to do. It's time to move on. I wish he had retired after the Floyd fight.>captcha: MMA4
He sure does enjoy stepping into rings and cages at other promotions
>>203386His leg was broke in half and his liver's seen years of alcoholism and hepatotoxic steroids. For his own sake he shouldn't fight no more
I know pro-wrestling is acting\scripted, but is it true that vintage japanese version had no clear script, such a bunch of rules and agreements to stick with (properly) pro-wrestling holds and moves? I'm pretty sure the early wrestlers had to learn judo, boxing, etc>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puroresuit says p.w. somehow led the way to shooto and pancrase which is pre-mma? What about Death Match, where they get so many real injuries, scars, sometimes very serious wounds- is it a real extreme sport, with high risk and frequent hazards-?
>>203582Kicking pads and do basic ground fighting put them above american karate even if the matches were acted, they probably were in better shape also
>>203582A lot of classic pro wrestling moves come from catch and other legit wrestling arts. They just do them wrong on purpose to avoid injury. Pro wrestling basically morphed out of shoot wrestling because the top guys at the time were so fucking good either no one could beat them or the matches lasted hours. They started faking it to make it more exciting for normies but old wrestlers could shoot fight and were generally huge as fuck and strong anyways. A guy could "go into business" for himself and start no selling his opponent and actually trying to hurt him etc.

wanna start caveing. what shoude i know and do. and what are the donts and dos? please tell me and how to find spots
I live in a quite karst area and have explored more than ten non-commercial caves. How to I find more?
>>199135I'm in the EU so my experience might not be relevant. I went caving for the first time yesterday with a few friends, the guy leading the trip does this once a year with newbies to try and get recruits. No vertical rope stuff, just crawling around one way then following the underground river on the way back.From what I've gathered of what he's told me, it would be retarded to do any of this alone. His caving group rescues around a dozen people each year, all idiots who thought it was a good idea to go without proper equipment, training and research, but had at least the sense to warn a person they were going caving. One guy they rescued in Peru had been stuck down there for 15 days and another in NA fell into a bear pit, both went back to caving a few months after their rescue lmao.If you're interested, as another anon said join a caving group/grotto/whatever it's called where you live. In the EU most caves are on a public database you only need to be part of a caving association to get access to, but our guide told us it was typically more complicated in the USA with a lot of cave entrances being hidden for various reasons. This isn't a sport you should do alone when you start out, maybe even ever. I think I might join as our short expedition was more exciting than I thought it'd be, but they were very honest about essentially needing recruits to help with the grueling grunt work of clearing a few new passages they've found and have been working on for a year, so I'm kind of hesitant to volunteer as slave labor lol.
>>199136>sky caveis this a cave system with an opening at the top exposing it to open sky? Are those really that rare?
I would suggest you look for your nearest grotto, it's essentially a club for cavers and they'll help outfit you with the necessary gear you'll need for different scenarios and different types of caves. They aren't too plentiful so it's possible you'll have to drive kinda far depending on where you live. It can be very dangerous if you're going caving solo, especially if you don't have the most experience, I strongly suggest you get into contact with people who will help you figure this stuff out in person
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.Comment too long.

In a street fight, is it better to throw the first punch or counter? This is assuming you can't run, or kick because of the terrain. No weapons also.
>>201088>>201575You're both retarded. Just study how the huge majority of street fighting starts. Maybe not 99.99% as he said but almost all of them are fought by complete retards for absolutely banal and moronic reasons, like road rage or bar fights. >but le nigger is going to mug me!That's likely, and in that case he's probably going to be armed and your meme MAs won't do shit. >The existence of most niggers in prison alone disproves this dumbassery.You cannot be this retarded. It's a fucking American prison you imbecile. Every single person there, nigger or not, is on edge 24/7 and almost all of them have proved that they cannot follow simple societal norms. >angry man runs up behind you and sucker punches you in the back of your head which is the absolute worst place to be hit>>199336
>>199236You tuck your jaw in, get in stacce, put your hands up in the "oh on i'm defusing this situation" kind of way so you can defuse while being able to hit/defend easily.If its someone that isn't over 125lbs or 60 kg, you right hook to the jaw.If its someone that looks experienced in combat sports or is a fat bastard, you keep your distance and counter.If its more than one person run and if they chase you and you can't run away you find a narrow corridor where their numbers advantage is diminished and teep/cross.The real secret is having your game plan prepped ahead of time and being physically prepared as well.You can't think well on the spot unless you're a yolked combat sports guy yourself where its instinctually ingrained in you.
>>199236A question like this can’t be definitively answers without knowing the full context of the fight your in. If you’re just talking about winning the fight in general then yes whoever lands the first one or two good shots is usually the guy who wins a street fight. However, you have to consider that sucker punching a guy can land you in jail and usually looks worse in a court room. That’s not to say it’s NEVER justified, but again it depends on the context.
>>199236>is it better to throw the first punch or counter?The best punch is the one that hits. If the fight has started, you want to land that one before your opponent does.
>>199236you should shoot a double and control

Tell him you'll train the kids with potential, or who at least give a shit and he can have the dregs.
>>195969It's been over two months, Anon, how's it been going?
Nothing wrong with what you did. I think it’s good, I think the most important thing for the kids to learn is discipline at a young age but also have fun.
>>196018Second chances though. At least for kids, lol
please tell me im not the only one who swears his name has always been Mike Valley

I'VE GOT A VENDETTA
>>199572he's a cool fella
I see Defendo places around me, from their descriptions it seems like Krav Maga but with more focus on unarmed fighting, on their website it says their bases are taken from Muay Thai and catch wrestling.How effective is this? Why would someone learn defendo over just going to a regular old MMA gym?
>>199893That's a fair point. Not like there's anything wrong with learning that stuff on top of it all. I'm just skeptical that Defendo in particular is the best way to learn defense scenarios or weapons.
>>199894Jyrki Saario appears to be from a combat sport background so it at least seems plausible that his system could be reasonable. I'm completely unfamiliar with it, however, and therefore share your skepticism. https://www.defendo-usa.com/about-us/jyrki-saario.html
>>199809The difference is there's millions of practitioners of other martial arts, but the number of bonafide catch wrestlers numbers in the low thousands at most. Online though it seems like a million from every rando claiming to be a catch wrestler.
So, did OP get some personal experience?
>>203185No, I just signed up for boxing instead.
What about pankration
Why is Weird Al punching Saddam Hussein?
The term mixed martial arts is referring to a format in which different martial arts can compete against each otherIt does not mean mixing different martial arts together in a blender to make some homogeneous slurryPeople who don't know this distinction should be disregarded
>>203167Relax, it's just a pankration bro.
>>203168How do you know to what term "mixed martial arts" is reffering?
>>203156Modern day pankration has nothing to do with the original outside of the name.
