surprising that more fighters don't realize that calling Jonah's bluff is the quickest way to get their name out there. and there's only going to be a limited time to do it before he reinvents himself again in a few months
I want to see Jonah fight Simon the Savage
>>267881Based Cub. Glad he won his last fight, been a fan of his since WEC.
>>267881>not having the belt checker do it
Obviously somebody with fighting experience is more than likely going to decimate Jonah. Maybe get another celebrity who does BJJ, like Russell Brand, or Mark Fuckerturd.
>>268160>more than likely going to decimate Jonahbruh johah is a hollywood tard with no real life experience. He confuses his hollywood characters with reality. Any average person would destry the skinnyfat tard.
hey. im in southern cali, and there's a couple of options for grappling styles near me:- training with the local cc wrestling team off-season in a club (freestyle wrestling, non-intramural; literally just a club with the wrestling team)- kosen judo school (judo + more newaza??)- bjj school (10th planet or the standard bjj that comes in mma gyms)im a pretty athletic guy currently on the local college's track team + consistent s&c whenever classes arent trying to rape me. im pretty short for my age (5'7" barely) with a stocky build, so if any of these arts stand out as a must for some retard like me, i'd like to try them.
>>265711Depends what do you want to learn. I would do bjj only after wrestling or judo unless you're sure that the gym you choose will teach takedowns well.
>>265715Your reasoning for wrestling is why I'd bump it to the top of the list. I do bjj but I'm also at one of the two or three schools out of 20+ in the city that has an in house wrestling coach. Almost everywhere is gonna have a couple former wrestlers you can work with but I find even being able to pick the brain of someone that did it at such a high level is invaluable
>>265711they all suck so do cc wrestling at least they'll teach you to be aggressive
>>265711Wrestling because it's harder to do later in life and will likely have a more serious athlete mentality than the average of the other groups. Kosen judo would be my pick otherwise. BJJ rules can lead to some goofy training priorities but the newaza practice is good.
not OP but there is a freestyle wrestling club near me, they are welcoming to all levels, whatever that means. I never wrested a day in my life but should I join at 25 yo?

fixies own too
>>267098fixie riders can be cool looking but sometimes they can be entitled and obnoxious because of the lack of brakes desu. Also the bikes are way overpriced IMO for how mechanically simple they're supposed to be. Fixed gear companies are like the apple of the bike world.

Mountain Biking General Guess we should make a new if any of the regular anons still want to post about mtbing and haven't fucked off completely from this website. Spring-time in the NH so I guess those that don't bother riding in the winter will be getting back out now.
>>267013>>267014Looking at the geometry of this bike online, it has a really high stack. How tall are you and what's your in-seam? I wonder if you should have sized up. And you're using backsweep bars to set your hand positioning even higher?
>>267152I have the 12° backsweep handlebars because I was trying to alleviate some hand numbness i was experiencing with the stock bars. I believe the bike comes with a 9° backsweep. I make the joke about needing geriatric handlebars as I believe its more common for older riders to use those steeper backsweeps. The backsweep isnt rasing the position of my hands but just tilting the handlebar back to give a more ergonomic fit to my wrist position. I tend to keep the handlebar quite low as I prefer that for climbing. Had I wanted to raise the handlebar theres some adjustability with the stem..Im 5'8 and have perhaps 30" inseam. That's the pants size i buy anyway. I believe i bought the right size. I don't think I'd fit good on the large but I did notice my fit on the bike felt a little off after a few rides. I wanted to sit further back on it.Im really happy with it now with the seat is moved back. I wasn't able to move it back that far without the seatpost dropback.
>>267014>Fair Bicycle DROP BEST UC M6I was looking at this just yesterday.>The longer stem was no good. That also made the steering too heavy.a longer stem makes the steering lighter not heavier>I was trying to alleviate some hand numbnessrevgrips. seriously. I don't know why they work but they do.
>>267187>I wanted to sit further back on it.this is likely a fitness and skill issue. you're too far back on that and as you make progress and try harder features it's going to throw you otb because of that at some point.
Perhaps youre right. I could try removing the seatpost dropback and just change my posture.. its just after it got this bike my ass kept hanging off the back of the seat. Its as though thats where my legs were in the most neutral position. Perhaps its just my shape. I dunno. For whatever reason the bike fits me OK now with the seat moved back. I also have a really sweet polygon Entiat TR8 hardtail. Its a bike from 2019 so its long been since discontinued. Its a plus tire. 3.0" wide w/ 27.5" wheel. I love that bike.. now with that one I didnt feel the need to tweak it. I get a really good fit on polygon bikes right out of the box. Though, its sad that its seen a lot less love since I got GT full sus. Im yearning to take it back out for some rides. It climbes like a breeze. The plus tire allows some seriously low psi. I can usually run 14 to 16 psi on those plus tires. Oodles of grip. Currently, the seat isnt tightened and it has a 60mm stem on it that doesn't work well but im maybe gonna tune it up and put its original stem back on..
King of the Streets - no rules MMA on concrete. Completely underground unsanctioned shit.You may not like it but this is what peak athletic performance looks like. KOTS Discussion: Eye Gouge Supremacy Edition!https://youtu.be/II4vHnf1A5E
>>267235>>267236What you mean apart from controlling the whole fight and deciding whether you get up or get your eyes gouged out?
>>267256KOTG dudes just shrug off being thrown on pavement so it's not a reliable fight ender compared to striking. Going to the ground is bad because it exposes you to eye gouges, aids bites, stabbing, soccer kicks. Time spent on learning submissions or takedowns is better spent perfecting striking, takedown defence and getting out. There was that one fight where the guy judo'd the other guy and choked him out all in the span of 10 seconds but it's an exception.
>>267381Throw them on their head
>>267388you mean like in kotg oh wait
>>267388It turns out this can only happen if your opponent is an extremely physically awkward fuck, like drunk or high or decrepit, or if you nigh-suicidally guide their head down into the ground and risk knocking yourself out ala Kevin Randleman vs Fedor. Concrete floors make the latter option unappealing. KOTS once again dispelling martial arts rumors. Throws on concrete are rarely a fight ender. That said, ending a throw in a dominant position is very important if your opponent can eye gouge you. So 1 point for Judo and kesa gatame.
I pray that orolbai becomes champion
>>266675He is a really fun fighter to watch usually, like his fight with Rebecki. Other than that stinker vs Curtis - that was a terrible fight. Im not sure why he went down to welterweight but i think he is definitely top 10 material. Not sure about champ but maybe.

>>267045>this was considered a peak rikishi build in 1901
>>267227I correctly surmised that HWNBAY (he would never be a yokozuna). However, he deserves his flowers for making it as far as he did. While the Sumo Genius moniker was semi-ironic shitposting at the time, it actually fits. His commentary is surprisingly insightful when it comes to oshizumo.
So I’ve always had this question: if a fighter in, a physical sport like karate or MMA or something like that would purposely hurt their opponents during a fight or like a sparring match, and if so, how and why would you do it, and would you try to be discrete about it or just do it? Or maybe you just did it once for a specific reason or targeted someone. Whatever the case may be, I’d love to hear your takes on this if y’all have done it or something similar.
>>266049never post again
During light sparring at my full contact karate dojo this semi new (maybe 4 months of training) guy kept trying to side kick my head off, over and over again. And then he went to spar with some other new people and he kept hitting them far too hard for a light spar, so when he came back to me I chose to only target the leg he was side kicking with. Every time he raised it to chamber for the side kick I would kick the back of the raised thigh as hard as possible, I kept doing it and sure enough he got a dead leg. Then as he tried to side kick again, he raised his leg and it gave out, he put it down too fast and somehow broke a bone in his foot with the way he landed. I felt bad because this was about 30 minutes into a two hour session but the instructor, myself, and many others kept asking him to go lighter, especially on the newer people in the dojo, yet he wouldn't so really he deserved it.
>>266049I would always try to hurt everyone at a tournament. I don't know you so you can catch the fade.
Is Dana right?
>>266268>t.
>>266169That's only true in certain professions. I've had plenty of doctors tell me that they're on antidepressants and I've had therapists tell me they they have therapists. Your body is just a machine and there are ways to very easily fix issues with the machine. Ignoring fixing yourself for the sake of masculinity is genuinely unintelligent. I'd you want to take the retarded and difficult route through life because you think it's badass then go for it but intelligent people don't do that.
>>266927Seeking help is different than talking about it publicly or using it as an excuse
I don't know if he's right or not. But it's hard to know if he's trying to be taken seriously or not, because he's basically a meme at this point. Everything he does is part of a carefully curated image to sell his fighting league to impressionable young men. It wouldn't surprise me if it had less to do with his legitimate views and more to do with trying to make money.
>>266927>I've had plenty of doctors tell me that they're on antidepressants and I've had therapists tell me they they have therapistsbecause doctors and therapists are faggots
