40+ anons. What martial arts do you train? When did you start? Do you train/lift outside of martial arts? I'm looking to get back into judo/boxing but i'm an old fat piece of shit right now. Any suggestions for training smart as an old guy?
>>244482>I'm fat>>>/fit/76077351>>>/fit//fat/>>244561>I should probably lose some weight >>>/fit/76077351>>>/fit//fat/>thx anon, i might look it up. i'm trying to not overload myself with info because that's an endless road to go down.If you're already dealing with training injuries I might suggest either pirating or buying a digital copy and doing a Ctrl+f search for recommendations around that specific injury (it doesn't have everything but it has some of the common ones). I used my digital copy as a reference before buying a physical copy to read outright. Pic related are some excerpts I was discussing with a friend who was struggling to bench with a recurring shoulder injury.>>244578>Judo will teach you how to fall. That's why I would place it before boxingVery solid suggestion. It sounds like OP used to do judo so he should already know how to drill ukemi. Adding this to his daily routine could do a lot towards injury prevention.
>>243996dont roll or spar with someone you wouldnt do acid with
>>244561>5x5 Strongliftslifting weights is not martial arts. MA is for fighting, the training helps with strength and conditioning. As you get older heavy weights are not your friend. Moderate to light lifting and cardio is best. The best cardio is some combo of fighting practice because the older you get the more likely you are to need it, its just statistics. If you need it its always unexpected - gas station, coming out of a store, getting into your car. Carry a knife and spray. Its always better to be prepared instead of being a victim.
Bump
40+. 6 months a year i might train kickboxing karate most days a week. I can have the time to train alot. Summer i don't really like MA so much, mostly climb or do weights pretty much every day. Had a kickbox sess after a few months earlier, performance was pretty good but was sweating hard. Drank a couple of pints of water... im a cold weather fighter who likes to get buffer for summer. My idea of training smart, keep things varied, 3 week cycles to really focus on something in particular. At this age your never going to be the best at anything but theres always something one can do to improve to give some motivation to keep trying
I want to try out skiing in new places in North America, anyone got any good recommendations on where is should go or try out?
>>262065>I want to try out skiing in new places in North AmericaToo expensive and too crowded. Venture capitalists bought out all the big ones and ruined it for everyone. Dont waste your time. There is a good explanation of it on yootube, it was based on the ski patrol strike at Vail as a starting point.
>>262065what kind of skiing do you like?

Is in board any freediver/spearfisher constantly doing solo diving? Personally, I don't go more than 7 meters while solo diving. What do you guys do for safety (shallow-water blackout, nets) while soloing, and do you have any recommendations?
How fucked am IPosted this on another board before but this one seems better, my apolocheese
>>265661Okay, then you're 8 years behind instead of 10. Still doesn't matter. Again, like I said, you can't imagine the gap there is between an amateur that's been training for a couple years and even a middling journeyman, let alone a world-class contender. If you really want to fight, go train and have your coach set you up with other amateurs around your skill level.
>>265619nah I'd win
>>252538Kickboxing is a dying sport unless you’re doing it for passion. Like fighting for bahts in Thailand .Japan , China and holland are the biggest stages for kickboxing but the money is nothing compared to mma and boxing.Start get active , have fun, if it’s a talent then go for it.Otherwise if ultimately you want the most money as possible for competition then it’s mma or boxing.For now start with what you want and see what you naturally lean to or like.
You are screwed, I knew a guy from high school who started when he was 23. Went 0-2 and retired and is now trying to be a firefighter.Just think about it. Everyone you will face will have started since they were a minor and they will have a DECADE of experience more than you.

What are the best masks to get? Assume no budget limitations. I've been going with a friend who has a spare marker a few times and I want to figure out exactly how I want to play before I pick a marker, but I want a good mask regardless and the rental ones are BAD.What are the best options? i5? EVS? Proflex? CRBN? Some kind of WARQ Simmunition setup? Most of the references I can find are either old enough to not have some options or factor price into the rankings.

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.

How do Muay Thai fighters train? Do they do technique, cardio, sparring, and calisthenics?
no none of that
yes to all
i'd argue you have to ways. running and lifting or bike and calisthenics. i'd rather do bike and calisthenics
At the gym I go to in Thailand we start with either running or skipping for cardio/warm up. Then we do pad work with the trainers. Usually three to four rounds of pad work depending on your cardio. During padwork the trainers try to fix your technique and teach you useful combos. Then we do some work on the bag to build power. Finally, we finish off with sparring. 2 hour session in total. I am exhausted by the end. Electrolytes are a must have.
What is the best martial art if you are normal sized (5'11/6 foot) but physically weak (110 pounds)? Those are my stats.Eskrima sounds nice but you can't carry sticks or knives around with you like an fighting game character.

Judo seems okay, my grandmother is a judo black belt, weighs under 100lbs, and fucked people up with it. She did tell me its for women because its just folding clothes while people are still in them.Boxing maybe, you would have a huge reach advantage and could be an okay outboxer. Eat a sandwich though op
>What is the best martial art if you are normal sized (5'11/6 foot) but physically weak (110 pounds)?Starting Strength + GOMADEat a burger, nigga
>>240453>>t. 110 5’7 manletgay ahh twink build
>>239977Why the fuck are people unironically recommending krav maga? Are we fucking serious right now? Best martial art you could do is MMA, but OP in particular needs to gain weight. OP, you can start whatever martial art you want, but if you don't gain a lot of weight and a lot of muscle it's not going to matter, you're going to get rekt. Martial arts are a physical pursuit. Godspeed.
For anyone who has done a martial artIs it normal to have mixed emotions about it?None of the stuff I've tried (Boxing, Judo, Wrestling, BJJ)Has made me instantly think "omg I love this. This is it. I'm doing this for life"It's usually a combination of "well that was really difficult and tiring, is this worth it, this is going to be difficult but I'll be a better person mentally and physically, I guess.. just stick with it?"Or were you instantly hooked
Honestly, I'm pretty new to BJJ so it's probably honeymoon phase but I did do kyokushin for 2 years-ish and I feel about the same. It just feels like a genuine respite from the workday. Everyone's there to learn and improve and we all want the same goal, but when you compare it to the workplace, the workplace is everyone's a fucking faggot and does passive aggressive shit all the damn time. It's just weird since while I really want to sock some people at work and I can't. The people at BJJ are some of the nicest people I've ever met and rolling the shit outta them to get them to tap (but like 99% of the time after a minute I'm tapping in) is just such a great feeling. It's like they say in a lot of game and shows. To really know someone's spirit you just gotta have some physical action. That gay? I mean whatever, it's true.
>>244716boxing blew up my abs, makes me feel great after morning heavy bag, and has hot and horny tomboys, its great
>>244783>we didn't do randorilike you didn't do it first time? that's normal you gotta make sure someone is 100% not going to fuckup their fall before you get them fighting.but if the club/gym doesn't ever do randori it must suck a lot because imo the whole ruleset of judo is made to allow safe fighting>>261947I agree with this. the only real risk is tai-otoshi at the wrong angle. you can really fucking fly but if you tuck your chin and breakfall you'll be fine. Bjj guys seem to fuck their knees more than judo from what I've seen.
>>264675Yeah seoi or drop seoi you can end up going over their head face first. Happened during speed drilling once and I def shat bricks in mid air. But luckily I didn't completely go head first. Someone got drop seoi'd face first and ended up with a bleeding nose luckily. I mostly just end up with sprained toes ALL THE TIME.
>>244716I'm 43 and I want to learn drunken boxing. I realize this would be a complete waste of time other than the health benefits, and sort of cringe too probably. Not to mention there's nowhere to actually learn it. Anyways, I think a lot of the enjoyment you might find comes from a good gym, meaning you're comfortable there, the people are supportive, they don't push you past your comfort level, and it's a positive atmosphere and not one where people are being try hard jerks, but it's also a legit school and not a mcdojo. It's a very unique balance to find, so yeah I think it's less the actual martial art and more the legitimacy of the school and the atmosphere.
My 10 year old wants to start playing disc golf. Do I buy a starter set or give me the best 3 discs to start and play and he will continue to want to keep in his bag so it’s not wasted money.
>>264522how are you not having fun being innawoods with the boys?
>>258263>My 10 year old wants to start playing disc golf. Do I buy a starter set or give me the best 3 discs to start and play and he will continue to want to keep in his bag so it’s not wasted money.I would start him off with just a putter. Bit of a pain in the ass, but getting form down is more important.Since he's young you are probably going to want to get him lighter discs - 166g for a putter should be good; 172+ will likely be a little difficult to putt with until he's older and has some more hand strength.5 speeds can be a bit finicky at lower weights, dip up into the 6s and get him something like a 155g MVP Relay.If he gets decent throwing those two, then look for something like a Blizzard Wraith in the mid 150s.
>>264522its still true to the name of golf, you're just gonna suck when you first start out
>>258263oh, and might as well get him throwing every which way since he's youngRhfh & lhbh isnt quite the same thing
>>259646>the quick, cheap & easy entry point is the Innova starter kit (aviar, shark, leopard version)this is also a good suggestion

new to boxing and I keep on walking into punches during exercises, how does one dodge and slip? do south paws have to do it differently?
>>253671>>253686>>253392but I am a southpaw
>>253381>how does one dodge and slip? Practice on a slip rope, shadowboxing, double end bag. If you got a friend, have them work mitts for you and let them mix in straights and jabs so you can practice defense. >>253712This is the reason I dislike being a lefty.
got boxer's knuckle ;_;
>>260218i got one too years ago.
>>253386useless advice. you're not mentioning the most important principle.>>253381As far as said important principle.Here is the most important part.You need to measure/know the limits of human reaction time(always the same +- a little if guy is bigger=slower or smaller or skinnier=faster) and base everything you do on that.The actual method of dodging you choose can vary quite a bit(builds/preferences/etc) but all of them depend on this.I'll try to give you a shorthand estimate for various moves and you can figure the rest out yourself.Jabs = too fast. can't react if already in range. must always read/predict. The reason why they set the tone and work with everything.Also the reason your guard should be up ahead of time to cover for misreads on your slips.Base your slip/parry/sway/any defensive tech or even counters/attacks on mental timings based on the moment you're within the opp's jab range and the moments before and after it too.Also after you're already in range you need to grasp the mental timings or rhythm of your opp if you happen to go into an extended exchange.Alot of this is based on constantly anticipating moves and moving preemptively.Preemptive empty leading slipping/approaching/retreating movements can alter/control the opp's timing for attack so you should do those all the time. Since you're leading their aim and timing they'll need to also read you to land a hit. Then from this point on it becomes a constant reading match between the two of you and the one who understands the other better and makes more correct bets on everything will win.Outside of jabs/unreactable moves anything else that is slower can be used as a feint on whether they will fully commit or not on the strong swing and they all intertwine with the jab metagame(via combos/feints/hiding moves behind other moves/fcking around with distance and aim/etc).
