Pets do not belong in indoor public spaces. Sure, take your dog, cat, or tortoise for a walk in the local woods, but otherwise leave them at home when you go out.

I would have disagreed with you a few years ago but the amount of absolute retards out there with zero control of their animals bringing them everywhere with them make me lean towards your position. You don’t need to bring your dog to the fucking gym

90% of ko in UFC is from boxing

It's looked down on because it's no as mystical and sexy as muay Thai or has the same dudebro energy aesthetics and 3000 techniques as bjj/thai

This is harder than I thought and I get easily knocked out. When I got punched more than once at the same time I start disorienting and I immediately lose. Any tips?

What fucking kind of gym allows a newcomer to get knocked out. Just leave that shithole.

>>212311
I have heard dark heard rumors of inner-city gyms allowing foolish white boys to sign up for a few classes and feeding them to their prospects so they can get some confidence before their low-level pro fights. Allegedly, these gyms will sniff you out if you're a little too old and/or soft to ever be all that good, and throw you to the wolves in order to make them stronger.
>>
>>212318
some gyms don't have a choice if the sport isn't popular in the area/country. take your meds
>>
>>212419
There are people wanting to take martial arts in every country. The things that causes a gym to fail is not "oh, this martial art isn't popular enough." Gyms that fail have real problems, such as: bad instructors (you might be good, the people you hire might not be), a lack of good cash flow management (some businesses suck at accepting our money), not managing or understanding expenses, playing favorites with your clients (your regular joes fill up your wallet more than your prized bull that might compete in a few years simply because they outnumber your prized bull), etc.

Just finished rereading Teppu and All-Rounder Meguru after remembering a storytime on /a/ 2(?) years ago where some Brazilian dude got me into martial arts. If you browse this board, thank you you bastard, soon I'll be participating in my first competition.

Anyway, I'm looking for more stuff like this, I already read Ippo btw. Also, movies and other media are also cool

I'm assuming you mean "effective" in regards to da streetz?
You could apply the same retarded logic to pretty much any combat sport
>can't do submissions in wrestling
>can't do kick or do takedowns in boxing
>can't grab legs in judo
And that's ignoring the 1000 minor rules that have been implemented across all of these.

Despite some dumb rules, anyone who has dedicated serious time to any of these hobbies can probably beat the fuck out of someone

No I'm pretty sure he means in mma

>>188306
If they just banned pulling guard and instead forced the practitioners to take each other down, then the art would be fixed. Its literally that easy. That's the only thing that ruins BJJ; they encourage one massive bad habit for a competition that'll put them at a disadvantage in any other scenario.

Capoeira is very underrated and misunderstood, specially by its own practitioners.
>almost perfect use of momentum
>almost complete mitigation of the disadvantages of falls
>lots of unorthodox movements and weird striking angles
>lots of level changes, perfect for transition to grappling
Yet retards will tell you it's just a dance or that it doesn't work when it has historical proof it worked against even armed opponents.

From what I gathered, it seems Brazil doesn't want to export just the fighting side of Capoeira because that would be racist or something. Can any Brazilians shine the light on why this shit isn't being taught in every school like Judo and BJJ?

Capoeira will give you insane bodily control, athleticism, and reflexes but it can't be the main art you practice. There are alot of brazillian professional fighters like anderson silva that mog hard because their capoeira backgrounds. Energy wise, In a cage fight, Using capoeira expends a shit ton of energy if you're going to be doing all those spinny kicks you got to have monster hunter level timing and precision or youll get tired out.

bad for a cage, fine for an encounter on the street where everyone goes all-in on every single punch anyway

hands evolved for manipulating objects, feet evolved for walking. this makes foot juggling more impressive, but in my opinion also more retarded, because you limit yourself by using a suboptimal tool for the job

I'm looking for a martial art where people spar without the primary focus of the art being on competition. From my experience, it seems to be either one or the other.
>>
That's probably gonna depend more on any given individual school/gym than style. Imo judo and jiu jitsu tend to have the highest number of noncompetition but sparring heavy students, but that's not really gonna be indicative of any given location. Boxing might be the hardest to find a middle unless you're somewhere its cultural like the UK.

Judo or BJJ gym where the average age is 30+

Looking to start Judo pretty soon, but I have a major concern - not worried about bodily injuries as I know that sort of thing is expected in full contact martial arts. But how common are head/brain injuries, even if they are light? I’m talking concussions or any significant bumps to the head.
Anyone have any experience of this, or know how common head injuries are in Judo?

>Do you think a judoka at the trial class of the YMCA has the same risk of breaking his neck as the judoka who'd do anything to win at the Olympics?

I think Judo is an exceptionally special case because white belts are notoriously spastic in their movements. I bet you have a really interesting looking inverse parabola of likelihood of injury. You'd get safer and safer until nikkyu and then ramp up preparing for shodan and then ramp up the more intense your competitions get.
