Hello everybody . So like a 6 months ago my old "friend" begged me to lent my dh mtb to his friend, and I told it would be a good idea to strengthen our friendship. with some hesitation I lent it to them the next day. Shortly after 2 days they returned everything was fine, and than they begged me to lent them bike again because his friends bike was broken, and we decided to store it at my basement. Than 1,2 days after they took that broken bike out of basement and sold it. And then begged to lent my dh Bike again for 4 days, because "I don't need I'm not riding that much" well yes I was preparing for exams. I said like ok but not for more days, my parents didn't knew that I lent it. Than passed like 2,3 weeks of me literally begging them to return it, also my "old friend" was my classmate so I was questioning him every day, and he replied : it's not my problem you lent bike to him not to me. I can write even more in details what happend but it would be long if anyone interested in. After 3 weeks of me begging them they returned me it, transmission destroyed, and every bearing was with rusty water. As an excuse for what they did, they said that I abandoned my friend when we were 13 years old in the forest, and it was telling his friend who wasn't even at the moment it happend, basically imagine the start of small local forest near city where many people hanging out, and we left him in close to exit area waiting for him like literally a wide trail that goes only in one way, as result he walked out with bike only with some mud stains on shirt. And that was an excuse, ok but then they told that they found buyer for my cycle, but they will be selling it without me without my supervision because they told everybody that it's their cycle. I declined it and then they threatened me that they won't give back my tools that I lent them earlier. At this point I told my parents about it, and I got my tools back, and it's not the end of the story. It is too long.
what lessons did you learn?
>>246766yea, dont lend people anything. i had to go around to my neighbours to get my paintbrush back that they never used after 3 months,
>>246766well you learned who your friends really are.As a proper bike autist I never let people borrow anything that I want back in the end.And never to anyone who is black, Indian, or has any kind of YN behavior
hi /xs/ this is my cat rupert, hes a very adventurous cat and i was thinking about going skydiving with him. ive been skydiving before and i liked it, does anyone have any experience skydiving with a cat, or any pet?
>>246088That’s a pretty shitty idea anon, stressing the hell out of your cat for no reason is just abuse. Rupert is very cute though.
>>246088wait, like, THE Rupert? Like picrelated?
Rumor has it if a cat has enough time to right itself and spread out their terminal velocity is lower than what it takes to injur them so beyondNo gear required, just drop him and he'll be fine
>>251648OP is this you

~~Hangboarding Edition~~>Where do I start?People typically start in the gym and branch off outdoors and find their niche, be it bouldering, trad, sport or a mixture of the above. Some never leave the gym at all. Ultimately it doesn't matter - just get started and enjoy yourself.>How fit do I have to be to start? Do I have to be able to do x amount of pull-ups?Being light, strong and flexible helps at the higher levels but climbing is open to almost anyone and is fairly intuitive to most. Even if your body is feeble and weak now, you will develop strength over time by virtue of just climbing. Climbing is a holistic sport and success often hinges upon many factors, not just strength and power, but having these qualities definitely helps when you breach into the higher grades.>What shoes do I buy?If you're starting out in the gym, don't worry too much: get some snug shoes without dead space that don't cause you lasting pain. Some people (such as the famed shoe designer Heinz Mariacher) recommend wearing soft shoes when you're starting out -- this makes sense since your footwork will probably suck and the increased feedback will pay dividends over time. You really don't need fancy expensive shoes when you're starting out, but certain shoe properties help send harder problems (e.g. stiff shoes for standing on tiny granite edges or soft shoes for sandstone/gritstone smears).Here are some useful resources for sizing:>https://sizesquirrel.com/>https://rockrun.com/blogs/the-flash-rock-run-blog/rock-climbing-shoe-sizing-guideComment too long.

Guys. Im packing up my shit in Wisconsin and moving to Florida for 6 months for a job. This state is literally the flattest in America. How can I find climbing outdoors?
>>255479climb into jobsites and get copper
>>255479get a side gig cleaning windows rope access style. there is nothing natural for you to climb
>>255479Drive to Georgia, Tennessee, Arkansas etc
Just watched this Johnathan Sin video on YouTube. 15 minutes long about rock climbing in Japan. Seems interesting right? But it's just climbing footage B-roll with the occasional comment of>Technique is super importantThis is the case for a lot of modern climbing content. Who among you supports this? It's like brainrot but for climbing.

>hard sparring>more than 4x a yearCouldn't be me!
>>240331>display a lack of reading comprehensionProjecting after misreading my comment. sad.
>>240049as an amateur, i like heavy sparring because i find it fun. As long as you make a rule of not trying to kill your partner (as in, be careful with head-hits), both parties can enjoy it.I dislike light sparring as it gives amateurs false confidence in their abilities, and people can take advantage of that you'll be slower by spamming range like side-kicks.
>>240146>BOSS in south africa?Wtf is this.
If you don't like sparring then don't spar, it's that simple. If you want to test yourself knowing that you're going to get hit in the head, then go for it. Boxing's not for everyone.
>>240146I think in the military they just shoot people and if that doesn't work they stab them

what martial art should i do after taekwondo? i'm currently abt to be a black belt in ITF taekwondo and i noticed that it kinda sucks due to the lack of handwork.ive been thinking of exploring either judo (since im pretty big) or eskrima (for grappling techniques and knifeplay). in general im looking for a style that is more hands-focused to go with the footwork of taekwondo
>>247891Kickboxing. Look, I might have a retarded vision of things here, but I see Taekwondo and Aikido as very similar martial arts. Laughed upon, misunderstood, with too many mcdojos and clowns. In short, ineffective. But what I also noticed when doing kickboxing is that taekwondo guys have a style that's powerful and unconventional. They have to adapt to some KB stuff, but some go into fights with a taekwondo style, almost like fencing with their leg, and it works. Kind of like this girl, but less obvious https://www.youtube.com/shorts/2ShTujCVJzcSo I think that Taekwondo is like a DLC for Kickboxing. I mentioned Aikido because I think it's like a DLC for Judo and BJJ, but that's a whole other can of worms
>>247891Will you become an amazing all around fighter who can threaten competent fighters? Probably notCan you kick a crackhead in the chest and make him rethink his decision? Probably yesNot everyone has to be super optimal MMA guy
>>247891Since you have kicks boxing or kick boxing. Escrima seems cool but hard to find a good gym.
>>247891Combat Sambo if you can find, you can make Combat TKD! https://youtube.com/shorts/B4LIsuuFR6w
boxing or any grappling martial art. boxing because taekwondo, no matter the type, has shitty punching technique and defense (check https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pn98RdwPw48 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nz-kU1X0Q2I, which are boxers beating taekwondoins from the ITF). grappling martial arts because you only know striking and MAYBE some takedowns (if your school actually teached you them), since you said you're big then any will do, though judo would be my main recommendation
those that aim to redirect the oponent's energy, like aikido, hapkido, daito ryu, taijutsu, etc. i'm kinda interested in them, especially taijutsu and hapkido, but dunno what i should expect exactly (in order to not fall into a mcdojo), so if anyone has experience in them please share, as well as your thoughts on them
>>249339At the schools I've visited kata seems to be mostly a niche old guy activity or done only for higher belt promotions.
>>246409Actually that's real and not from one of Seagal movies. It's hard to tell because he's always pure kino.
>>246396I don't think the idea of taijutsu is just redirection. It's more like fucking around until the oponent has no tension, then exploiting that.
>>246396If you want to learn the art go for it but don't expect to be able to use the techniques they way they teach you because they teach it wrong for fighting, do it for the love of the game.That said the core principle of redirecting energy is legit and legit overpowered if you do it right.The most important thing to learn is the twitch from daito ryu, i call it like that idk if it has an actual name but what they do is that they do a tiny push or pull to get you to resists in the opposite motion and then do the technique opposite to your reaction, for example they first bump you back so you resists forward and then pull you as you resists, its a tiny motion, almost imperceptible but 100% legit and you can use this concept in more legit martial arts like mma, wrestling and judo.Aikido does basically the same thing but in a circular motion, all you need from aikido is to instead of resisting head on, to simply move to the side and rotate to push or pull the opponent into you.Hapkido is literally just aikido but fast and explosive and teaches how to use the techniques against karate style striking which is slightly better than aikido.If you must I would recommend hapkido because they are legit athletic as fuck, you learn basically everything aikido and daito ryu do and then you can do something more legit focusing on the concepts of energy redirection, not the techniques they teach you, only the concept.
OP here, so in the end i ended up getting into BJJ and it's been a lot of fun. these three months have been great and i've learned a ton of stuff. i would've liked to get into hapkido but there are no dojangs nearby =(.>>250726sound cool, didn't realize that. wish the bujinkan wasn't a scam though :/.>>251051thanks for the explanation! i'd love to get into one of these martial arts someday, especially hapkido, hopefully i'll find some place that isn't like 2 hours from where i live •~•
lets say your walking down the street and u bump into a guy. one things leads into another your granted a fair 1v1 no weapons only limbs. (kicks and whatnot allowed) but you cant back out. what kind of clothing would be best? would you regular street wear help you? i usally wear a nike tech fleece very breathable and moveable material and typical sneakers. only thing that might through me off is if im wearing some jeans that day. i think perfect fighting outfit would be a good sports tracksuit like the nike tech suit and some sort of sneaker that u can grip the floor in and kick with but thats not too limiting. on the foot
im naked honestly i know i can just karate chop his arm and snap his arm
>>235157bad advice converse are too light and too hard under the foot for what you want you might as well be wearing sandals because converse actually the stitching in the back hurts your feet + if you kick with your toe in shoes youre defective i shouldnt even tell you that anyway get some loafers and re sole them with hard cork and leather
>>248352you know like vans are loafers or boat loafers youre not restricted to dressing like a gay himosexual kazakh or albanian man to win in fights
>>225994I would wear the armour of thorns from dark souls.

What's up with huge guy usually not knowing how to fight?
>>250012Go and fight him and see how you do
>>250012They rarely get into fights since people are afraid of them due to their size. So they rarely get into fights which means they lack experience. Big guys who actually have fighting experience will fuck most people up
>>250012>What's up with huge guy usually not knowing how to fight?they rely on size to intimidate and strength if they do fight, but a real fighter is not intimidated and knows how to beat fatty.
Just found out about this sport. Seems too cool to be this niche. Anyone into it?
>>248062>No tricking thread?It was tentatively lumped into the parkour thread under the assumption that there wouldn't be enough discussion to sustain separate threads but it's definitely different enough to warrant a distinct thread if there's adequate interest. You might find some posts relevant to your interests there either way:>Freerunners can post, too. Maybe even gymnasts and trickers if you don't get your own thread up and running.>>76604>Anyone into it?I keep up with some basic parkour and I used to train taekwondo but I've never combined the two enough to be considered tricking. I tried to learn backflips once with the help of two coaches: one thought I had it and the other thought I needed assistance through the flip so I got pushed on one side and not the other, resulting in me rotating sideways and kicking the coach who didn't push me in his head hard enough to put an end to backflip lessons. >>248066Sometimes. Tricking consists of gymnastics movements like that combined with martial arts movements like high kicks. >>248077Jujimufu on YouTube is somewhat mainstream and was primarily a tricker before he became a bodybuilder. I think the reason people don't know about trickers is that there's too much overlap between movement disciplines and a normie doesn't know or care whether the practitioner in a seven second social media clip is doing tricking, freerunning, wushu, taekwondo, parkour, gymnastics, etc., etc. so they just assume it's whatever discipline they're most familiar with or that the individual is simply doing a flip outside of the context of a specific art. Jujimufu memed himself as the "anabolic acrobat" because everybody knows basically what an acrobat is and that's close enough to what tricking is to get the point across.
>>248062>what if we took martial arts and made it gay as fuck
>>248257>Everything that's too difficult for my fat obese sedentary ass to do is bad
>>248257They're basically doing martial arts wuxia movie fight choreography without an opponent
>>248062I always thought these types of sports were cool because you can pretty much do them anywhere without any equipment. Like at almost any moment, you could just bust out a cool flip and a kick and anyone who happens to see it will be amazed. Seems like an easy way to elicit attention to yourself
