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

For example Conor Mcgregor got absolutely humiliated by Hafthor, but would a 6 foot trained fighter get brutally mogged by a 7 foot guy, or a 6'4" guy get brutally mogged by a 7'4" guy? Surely at some point there's diminishing returns due to the square cube law and also the kind of genetic disorders that cause Guiness Book of World Records level tall people to die early and be very frail. So what height is the cutoff? And what height is the ideal?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aaehn1aY8Ig

The Judo Reddit is literally children. I've seen threads on there with people asking how to get good, and they're some actual 13 year old posting videos of shitty club comps with 3 months of training. At least here people at least try not to act underage.

I have a love/hate relationship with skateboarding, more emphasis on the hate.The highs are not really that high, but the lows go so far that I can't even see the bottom. A 20 min sesh can ruin my mood for the whole day, even leading into the next day, and the next. Yet no matter how much abuse I take I always find myself crawling back to the obsession. Ive been skating for over 3 years, and don't get me wrong, I'm pretty okay, But not nearly as good as I want to be. I can literally count all my tricks on my fingers. Really fucking sad and annoying.I've felt my progression recede, especially in the last year since summer of 2023. I used to fly down stairsets and gaps with steez. Then one day i spent like an hour straight trying to ollie a 6 stair that had a weird landing. Never stuck the landing; kept puting my foot out to catch myself. Ever since that night, i havent been able to do a stairset bigger than a 2. That was over a year ago. I can no longer progress it seems like. I've hurt myself so much doing such basic things that my body locks up and won't let me do anything I'm uncomfortable with. I get fucktards everyday telling me to "just commit bro" well it's not the fucking simple. Easy for them to say when they haven't multiple debilitating injuries. For reference, I've injured myself to the point where it changed the course of my entire life (having to drop out of post secondary school). I've thought about quitting so many times. But it's impossible to escape. All my friends/hobbies/fashion/ memorabilia is directly related to skateboarding. There's that thing people say, once a skater always a skater. I hate skateboarding, but I'm addicted and I'll never quit.
>>214784No
switch to rollerskates. many benefits.-no longer looking like a hobo.-same adrenaline rush.-actual improvement to your physical condition.-going much faster!!!-less pressure on tricks (which you apparently suck at)-more control of what every part of ur body is doing to the motion, unlike skatetards who depend on polished even concrete or whatvr-still sk8ting (kinda.iguess)
>>209121>>209121>The highs are not really that high, but the lows go so far that I can't even see the bottomi just had a sesh today idk i really miss the sensation of slamming into concrete?? its familiar and quite grounding (heh) overall very catharticanyways do u skate other than hucking yourself off stairs, that is also a big factor idk what if u turn out to be a ledge guy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yikyaJEYmYA&list=RDLWwIOeWjV-U&index=12&ab_channel=Freeskatemag
>>209135>Your path is clear. You must become a coach and skate vicariously through your students. You might think you're awful at skating, but to a kid who can barely balance on the board you're going to seem like a grizzled veteran. If you choose this path, one day you're going to watch one of your disciples surpass you, and that will make it all worthwhile.this is kinda cope desu>>209148>you need to stop chasing those mother fucking stairs and work on other shitLMAO yeah i wasnt mean enough to say it>>209151>>Ive been skating for over 3 years>lol, lmao even>>209156>i remember being 9 years old>>209157>>Zoomies growing upLOL Comment too long.

>>209121just start skating bigger grass gaps for a while, work on your technique and build back your confidence. also fwiw anon some sets are just kind of fucked in ways that are hard to observe until you actually skate them. there are 6 stairs that'll work you harder than a 10. sometimes the easy shit is what makes you rage the hardest.
Where are all the black champs?
>>212797Doesn't Jon Jones currently hold a belt/championship?
>>212936Yes but it's a propaganda shtick. Aspinall is the interim champ and Jones is scared of him and doesn't have to fight him. He's defending his titles against a retired grandpa who hasn't fought in five years while Aspinall is calling him out and is ready to go. Even the way he won the title looked bullshit (first round submission with 0 damage)He's a confirmed roidhead who never really got punished for it and instead propped up
>>212797They lost>>213660I'm pulling for Stipe to win because Stipe said he would fight Tom. I know it's a long shot but it would be very satisfying.
>>212797Same argument in boxing. The majority of black athletes who live in countries with combat sport opportunities are in the NFL, NBA and Football in the EU. Some black fighters today in the UFC are guys like Jamahal Hill who tried to make it as a basketball player first but failed so started MMA in his late 20's. Also guys like Ngannou and Izzy are immigrants who took on MMA at later points in their lives. Every now and then you get fighters like Jon Jones and Usman who wrestled but once again most inner city black kids get groomed into basketball or football. Even with that though about a year and a half ago 5 of the 8 champions were black but very quickly it switched up so it could switch up again at some point. As for now there doesn't seem to be many black fighters today who come from extensive competitive combat backgrounds like that of Jones and DC. There are many in Cuba though but due to Cuba's relationship with the US I doubt we'll see many in the UFC.

Is there a martial art that is 100% defensive?ONLY blocks and evades.MAYBE some holds or locks but ideally just defense.>inb4 running awayYeah yeah I get it but still please.
>>212054You know if you learn a real martial art, dont be cringe and go along with it. Then you could just be defensive as you want, you dont need to throw the first punch in boxing, but it you inherently have an advantage if you attack first.
>>212054The fuck is Tarantino's problem?

>>214565>as observant of life around you as a blind rightwingerIn my experience living innacity libshits have absolutely terrible situational awareness on average.
>>214632Well I have outran people who could kill my ass.
Kind of late in the game turning 30 soon so assume it’s best to just focus on one discipline and take lessons there. For a 6’4 man who is 200lbs and decently in shape what is the most practical fighting discipline to take up for self defense? Already have ccw but just want to be capable in a bad situation now that I have wife and kids. Involved in sports in stuff but would be a total noob in a fight despite my size. Appreciate any insight
>>207778>Most practicalThe #1 Martial art is the one that is taught closest to your place of workThe #2 Martial art is the one that is taught closest to your place of residence
>>207778>Already have ccwStandup grappling then, if you have distance to strike you should be drawing. Judo is likely what you'll have available.
>>210503Just because you haven’t walked off the beaten path, doesn’t mean there’s not another way up that mountain. Some of us are shugyōsha. Meeting others who share your goals is how you improve a skillset that lacks an established framework to improve in. Forging your own progression. Put it this way, I’d agree with the common consensus that just walking into a place off the street and training two or three nights a week, you’d be better off doing boxing than wing chun. I’d go even further. The skills taught in a boxing class are more fundamental to fighting, and a beginner should start there, not with sticky hands. With boxing being a key part the current meta, even someone who picked up the basics somewhere else can not afford to be ignorant of it. For proof of this, see how profoundly it affected kickboxing. American, Dutch, French and Thai systems were all profoundly affected and altered by the sweet science.Having said all that, once I had those basics down, I learnt FAR more drilling and sparring on a hiking trail with a couple of guys I met at my red boat wing chun kwoon, than I ever did in my boxing gym. I want to be clear about this. I didn’t learn far more in the kwoon. I learnt more in the boxing gym. But, during those collaborative, extracurricular sessions? I learn far more. Because we weren’t practicing wing chun. We were applying the principles against each other as rounded fighters. Working out how they applied against, and meshed with the other principles we had learned. And in some cases, how they didn’t.
>>214545I walked away with only a few principles from wing chun. But they are now a weapon I have, that almost everyone else has chosen to be ignorant of. They can’t afford to be ignorant of them. But their closed minds leave them unable to see the extent of their folly. I will leave you all with one of the things I learnt. I believe it to be the most important takeaway. Centreline theory is not useless. But to make it work, your central line cannot be theirs. Look into the sabaki method, from enshin karate.
Depends on your body type, weight, how strong you are, how good is your chin. I'm 186 cm and about 190 pounds. I'm fairly strong after 11 years of lifting since high school. I mainly trained in boxing, scholastic wrestling and judo. But I picked up on elbows from Muay Thai as well as cut kicks (have a Kyokushin buddy that helped me condition shins too) and bare-knuckle boxing thanks to finding old instructional about it as well as karate/kenpo manuals (they use open hands too). I feel that having good boxing and head defense, using elbows offensively and defensively, superb conditioning, knowing how to roll with punches, foot sweeps and hip tosses, and low kicking are the best tools for self-defense since these are all low risk proven techniques.

What techniques, moves, styles and other details about fighting would you want to see in an action film?Like John Wick incorporating Judo and BJJ or Silat in The Raid
>>212948That sense looked great,Wrestling mats in a High class marble room has become a goal for me
>>209867I just want them to start making martial arts kinos again
>>209867I'd like to see more throws like in Judo. When I watched Narco-Saints; I liked how the MC, Kang In-gu, would just slam the people trying to kill him onto the ground. Only a few of his opponents knew how to defend against him. Watching the dirty boxing in bloodhound was also decent.
>>209867Sumo would be really fun. A sumo wrestler gets framed for killing another member of his stable and has to fight his way out of it.>>210404You could make a really fun version of that with something revolving around a LARPer who gets involved in some real shit. Like a terrorist attack at a Renaissance Fair or something, Die Hard style.
>>214463>SumoSame scene, use pole push wrestling from Strongman games with a large single barrel of some kind. Two huge dudes going from barehand Sumo to that.
