Is it time to accept that Caucasus wrestlers have debunked striking forever?

>>242909And that's a good thing. People liked Khabib even though he's a grappler because he would maul people with ground and pound. Grounded knees = more finishes for everyone = more viewership.
>>240427Who are they fighting? We are busy trying to make a living.
>>240427>Wrestler's peak performance vs Striker's most mediocre performance
>>240427All of them literally train striking. Zabit Mahomedshapirov and Muslim Sakilov specialize in it. The 5 Directions school consistently produces great striking athletes.
I have shekels to burn and have no other hobbytell me why I shouldn't do paramotoring
iv done both, got into paragliding to get good skills for paramotoring, with paramotoring i got annoyed with the amount messing you have with gear, your engine needs servicing all the time, i bought my one new and the throttle stuck on one of my take offs about 4 weeks in, so killed the engine landed and from that day it just seemed endless money pit with seals goin, bolts coming loose... this was new after all a touch of lock tight costs nothing. As for the paragliding thats epic, when you catch your first thermal you will be hooked, flying with birds never gets old and the view with out the ridiculous noise is always sweet
In the video he was flying at full speed trim out, altitude is your friend when flying, if something goes wrong low you won't have time for any input apart from shitting yourself., so looks like his right side had a small tuck, but at full bar the wing wouldn't recover, you can get some really good en-a wings and low en-b wings (they will recover themselves if you just go hands up and power off) but this guy was fill throttle.
>>235271>>235287Yeah playing with your phone that low is just stupid, IF he had his hands on the controls he MAY have saved it.

European riders are arguably the more skilled of the two, riding on gnarlier tracks and outdoors only. Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-BleZkNdEU&t=1527sYet, European pros themselves still watch AMA more growing up. We do nothing to make it more presentable. The tracks are diarrhea with some plastic poles to mark where to go.Why are we like this?
>European riders are arguably the more skilled of the twoNo. Your defending champion Jorge Prado came to the US and is getting 5-8.>European pros themselves still watch AMA more growing upBecause euroop is culturally irrelevant.>We do nothing to make it more presentableI agree most MXGP tracks are ugly and forgettable.>Why are we like this?Genetics.
>>236732>the more skilled of the twoThat's why when they race in the US they always loose.
I'm a lightweight, (1.78m, 60kg), i've been going to judo for some months now, I'm liking it a lot, but, is it comparable/better to wrestling? Especially for a guy my size, I always thought wrestling would be useless as from what I know, it uses a lot of raw strength, while judo (though it still uses strength) is better suited for taking down heavier/stronger people. Is this right? Should I try doing some wrestling? I find judo very good but also sometimes limited by the sport
>>244200>This is more of a demonstration of skill than pure strength. The base throw works by pulling your opponent a big off balance, tripping them over your hips, and guiding them to the ground with your arms:It's been over a decade since I've done any judo, but I feel like you could resist this by wrapping yourself around your opponent surely?Or would that be against the rules?
>>244204>It's been over a decade since I've done any judo, but I feel like you could resist this by wrapping yourself around your opponent surely?There are counters to every throw. The trick is to use them in a context where they're not going to be countered. This is a common throw in judo and wrestling so it's not particularly gimmicky. >Or would that be against the rules?You can do that but if your balance is adequately broken it's not going to work. If your balance isn't adequately broken you can turn it into a solid counter throw:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fgi9b8DJ5sQ
>>244212>There are counters to every throw. The trick is to use them in a context where they're not going to be counteredI don't mean in the sense of a judo counter, because I understand that in sports judo the scoring system is somewhat artificial in the way it scores knockdowns, I mean that even if you end up at the bottom of a pin the choke is backwards for applying pressure to the neck and you're in a position to apply a reverse choke right?I'm sure getting slammed into concrete rather than a mat would hurt more (and if you didn't know any break falls then you're probably going to get badly injured) but I feel like even if the throw is successful it's not decisive
>>244223>you're in a position to apply a reverse choke right?Not really, you'd have to break the pin before being in a position to try a choke. Your only option on the mat is to fight into position to roll out of it (you do kind of wrap around your opponent for some of these techniques, perhaps that what you meant) and your only extra options off the mat are to pull a weapon or try to fish for an eye gouge (however, the person applying the pin is in a better position to pull a weapon, employ an eye gouge, or switch to a more serious attack). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_TS0YHdxcQhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEmKk3m8nwEI've used this pin to subdue people off the mat who needed a moment to calm down and rethink their life choices after trying to hit me. I've used it when sparring with weapons to isolate my opponent's weapon hand, strip the weapon, and resume an armed attack against an unarmed opponent. It's very effective and it gives you the ability to scale force from lightly controlling someone to absolutely crushing the air out of their lungs (if they're not a grappler used to that kind of pressure, which most people aren't). It's my favorite pin in judo, my favorite pin off the mat, and one of my favorite pins in wrestling (stacking someone up on his neck with a double chicken wing is a little more entertaining).
>>244232Fair enough, I'll defer to your experience then
Imagine being so hated they design infrastructure against you
>>242503if you wanna skate that badly people will do this unironicallyi remember when the city closed down the local skatepark, never stated a reason why. Some pulled up with his truck snd ripped off the fence snd got arrested
>>242556I enjoy that it does both.
>>242468>>242479>fall and get injured>sue city
>>242468Skaters unironically destroyed the social concept of "older automatically the boss of younger" way more than rock n roll fags. >with a skateboard I can talk shit to whoever I want>there's probably people I can talk shit to around hereI was just a poser that skated for travel, but we would skate for hours and be all tired and see some guy guy walking or something and just yell "hey fuck you!" and people would typically get mad and maybe chase and that would give us the energy we needed to continue. Your friends don't want to leave somewhere? Throw a bottle or some shit at a moving truck driving by and force everybody to run. It was all stupid as fuck and made nobody better, but it kept us out of real trouble for the most part. It's the retards that fell on property like this skating and sued that messed it up for everybody btw.
>>244183No, it was retarded faggots like you who ruined it for everyone who just wanted to skate.
Does bjj teach you anything useful?
>>220100bj is extremely usefulthe extra j is completely redundant
>>220100Bro, be smaller than people and decent grapple, you can beat the biggest guys around cause they all wanna shoot on the little guy and man handle him. 9/10 when I wrestle somebody bigger they end up shooting right into my arm, i lock them up and torque back after wrapping my legs and they can't lift anymore. Guillotine within 15 seconds no problem. Rear naked, kimora, or armbar typically hits after a miss with guillotine cause they have to drop into full guard. This is just backyard shit with the bros that train though. We didn't typically want to hurt each other. People never want to fight me, and I don't like to fight so it works out. I'm sure knowing that I can hit him or choke him to sleep gives my attitude something that others can identify. I can tell when somebody else isn't fucking around too. It helps with your reaction to the confrontation of violence which helps with the outcome majorly. If somebody starts choking a normie they are going to die lol. If somebody starts choking a bjj decently trained dude he's going to remain calm like another day on the mat and likely manuever out. It's just about being equipped to deal with the situation. A guy my size threatens me? It's very unintimidating because I know I can outskill somebody with 40+ pounds on me, 60 once. So this guy is going to get broken apart if he is completely untrained. It would be horrific. I would probably just gain control and try to talk him out of it. That's what it teaches you.
>>242961Royce Gracie retired 15-2-3. He is inarguably the best grappler that ever existed in the UFC. If he was around now with the array of training that exists he would easily be 20-0. I fucking hate Royce Gracie with a passion because he said he tries to hurt his opponents badly, but you can't talk shit about his skill level you stupid fuck.
>>244188>He is inarguably the best grappler that ever existed in the UFC>you can't talk shit about his skill level you stupid fuck.I did call him one of the best in my comments. Are you just illiterate? Were you unable to comprehend...>"Gracie, arguably one of the world's best BJJ practitioners with an 82% win rate at one point,">If he was around now with the array of training that exists he would easily be 20-0I respectfully disagree; he was a BJJ purist,st and the MMA people of today who incorporate Judo, Wrestling, and BJJ would beat that purist's ass.

All "martial artists" are pathetic, weak-minded people; they have to wear rainbow ribbons to motivate themselves in cosplay.A true martial artist primarily cultivates and masters his mind, and in his martial life, he will only wear a rope around his waist and eventually a black belt after long years of mental, physical, and martial training.

Ank did very well the first fight and Poatan took that personally. An incredible performance from him. I think Poatan should fight Ulberg next. I feel for Sandhagen, he is a great fighter but not elite. Gave Merab a tough contest but ultimately Merab is in his prime and undeniable. Rest of the card was OK. Pyfer had a nice come from behind submission
I know the japanese tourism and animation industry have a lot to thank toriyama for, but something underrated is how much the martial arts industry has to thank him forfact is it wouldn't be nearly as popular of a hobby as it is if this show never existed since it's the thing that inspired so many kids to get involvedso ITT we will discuss all things related to our training and self improvement and helping each otherexercises, training routines, diets, motivation, etc.work hard, study well, and eat and sleep plenty

Do you regret not learning when you were still young
Was at a park with a bunch of kids taking lessons and adult skaters who could barely ride. We all had fun. Just have fun bros
>>240289is it too late to start at damn near 25? i think it would be cool, not even looking to do tricks or anything, i just want to get really damn proficient/fast at pushing and steering. i think it would be cool to roll instead of walk sometimes.i am just on the old side for this, and tall/heavy which is a really shit combo for balance. could i improve this? yes. it's just a question of whether or not doing so on a moving object is a good idea

>>243974Depends if you have the time and energy. Where are you going with it. Do you really love itIn all honesty if you're tall and heavy and don't know how to fall you're begging to fuck yourself up, twist ankle, break wrist etc. maybe even break both wrists lmfao

How can I prepare for college wrestling? I did jiu jitsu for a bit in high school but I stopped grappling about a year ago when I got a job. My grandpa is an old school state cop who will basically disown me if I don't do good in my first competition.
>>241879The best way to get good at wrestling is to wrestle. You can train attributes, like strength, speed, flexibility, etc. which will help you, but any wrestler worth their salt will also be strong and fast and flexibile. A good starting point is to get an old heavybag or a sandbag close to the size/weight of a person. Practice picking up the bag from the ground up to your shoulders and then slam it back down. Once you get good, you can practice some throws or some variations of finishing takedowns. What style of wrestling? If it's not greco then get comfortable with being strong and stable at different levels. Really all of that is shite compared to just wrestling other people though
>>241879Learn how to condition yourself like Karl Gotch.
>>241879are you doing club?
