$300 lift tickets to stand in lines like this.
Crotched and Sunapee weren't too crazy this last week, that being said their food prices would make a rabbi blush.
>>251899would lowering the ticket prices help?
>>251898ai photo btw
>>251898Reminds me on this
I really want to take up a martial art, and have since I was a kid, but have an internal defibrillator. It's a preventative measure, and I lift weights/run with no issues. Any ideas what ones would be appropriate? Basically anything where I'm not about to get struck hard and repeatedly in the chest (I own a small shield for it that can fit under clothing very easily/allows for full range of movement, so occasional accidental striking of it/pressing on it is no issue).
I think it's just head and hands that score but I don't know, never done it before
>>250064That could work for me then. I have a little paceguard thing I can wear over my defrib, and it works pretty well. It'd almost certainly fit under the armor based on what I've seen.
>>249491You are broken, fundamentally. Don't do martial arts. You shouldn't even exist.

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.

Finally got my first piece of electrical tape on my yellow belt. 8th kyu boys. Senseis at my dojo all said my test was excellent. I was nervous about my back kicks and seisan desu. Ready to take my training up a notch. Whats a good way to pain condition on my own for getting struck in the torso?
>>256460other than getting someone to hit you at home, best thing you can do is lots of crunches, russian twists, planks, etc
Started learning Ananku today lads. Thank fuck it is a third of the length that seisan was. The knife hand blocks seem interesting and my sensei showed me they allow for different options depending on how/when you deploy them. Never thought they could be used as spear hand with this kata, but after he destroyed my lung between my ribs as a demonstration i am sold. My shuffle step sucks and my angles when changing direction are inconsistent. Aside from rote memorization of the movements how do you guys practice kata? I like to do it slow to fast and fast to slow. Gradually speeding up or down after each run through. I also do them as tense and as relaxed as i possibly can so i get a feel for the difference.
>>257629Is Seisan that bad in your style? I thought that's supposed to be fairly simple kata like Naihanchi since it's a tanrengata?>AnankuI only ever heard that kata done in Shorinji-ryu. >Aside from rote memorization of the movements how do you guys practice kata?Usually I practice it in very slow and light manner for more than a month just to memorize the movements. Then I gradually add speed and power until I get to perform it properly. Then I start researching the bunkai for each and every move from many sources (Shorin-ryu, Shotokan, Shito-ryu, Personal Bunkai and interpretation of Rando Masters). From there I will experiment which bunkai works for me through trials on a dummy and during sparring (since not all of the moves can be done in sparring). Good thing most of my fellow students in the dojo have different backgrounds in martial arts prior to taking up Karate. I find that knowing how apply every move in the Kata makes it easier to remember and perform it with intent. It takes about a year for me to be able to do the whole kata to my satisfaction. And you still find surprising things about it, like being able to defend against an attack unconsciously, and learning more possible ways to use it when you lose in sparring while reviewing the video footages (you get more scenarios that you previously didn't even thought about).
I have time to learn one martial art. I'm in a large city, and they probably have at least one school if not multiple. I'd like something that'd allow me to hold my own in an unarmed one on one fight. What should I do?
>>254132Find a good MMA gym. You'll learn both stand up and grappling, which is what you need in the world today. You want to be able to fight on your feet and avoid having to grapple as much as possible. Grappling is nice, but if you're on the ground in a bar or on the street, somebody is going to try and soccer kick your head off while you're trying to land that rear naked on you opponent.No MMA gym? Then find a good boxing gym.
>>254132Boxing is the perfect self-defense artEffective, affordable, low skill floor, and you can find a boxing gym virtually everywhereKickboxing and Muay Thai are more effective, but sacrifice the simplicity and availability Grappling in general - wrestling, bjj, judo, sambo - is extremely effective, but the skill floor is very high, you're looking at a significant time (and monetary, in some cases) investment before you can fight effectively
>>254627You can teach someone body lock takedown into rear naked choke or high crotch into slam in a few minutes
>>254629But that's not what being an effective grappler is - because you know one move that's applicable in one specific situation, and the moment your opponent does anything that even slightly deviates from it, you're screwedIt's like only knowing how to throw a left hook and calling yourself a boxer
There's no one size fits all answer. If you choose grappling you won't learn how to punch. If you choose striking you won't know how to grapple. So do MMA or just find a gym with multiple martial arts

A popular Alaskan climber fell to his death from Yosemite National Park’s El Capitan, marking the third death in the park this summer.Balin Miller, 23, died in a climbing accident Wednesday, his mother Jeanine Girard-Moorman confirmed.“He’s been climbing since he was a young boy,” she said. “His heart and soul was truly to just climb. He loved to climb and it was never about money and fame.”https://apnews.com/article/yosemite-climber-death-balin-miller-2b30976fd38680bcdbf7761ece3c0e5f?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-us
>>244249There is some difference. In the military you are doing a job. A climber like this is an athlete pushing himself to achieve a goal that may or may not be possible for them. Like a mountaineer attempting a peak, Balin would have been making constant risk judgements during this ascent and constantly pushing his own comfort zone. The route he just completed is rated A4, the most dangerous grade for AID routes. There is no level of discipline or precision that could remove all risk from a climb like that.Yes, in the end he died from an error that could have been prevented with a simple safety check. I just hope this provides some perspective on the mindset of a climber who makes a mistake like this. In the last days he has been repeatedly and intentionally destroying his natural aversion to risk in order to achieve this goal, and now he is faced with one last tiny risky procedure that he has done dozens of times on this route. And he makes the wrong call. >>244018For those who are looking for more technical information about what exactly happened in the moments leading up to this accident you would be best served by reading this write-up from the excellent writer and expert solo climber Andy Kirkpatrick:https://open.substack.com/pub/andykirkpatrick/p/the-kill-pause
>>254178I'll translate Andy's description here, for those interested. Hopefully this will be decipherable even for non-climbers.Having completed the climb, Balin still has three tasks to complete: 1) descend to the previous anchor 2) ascend back to the top while retrieving his safety gear from the rock 3) haul his haul bag up to the top.There are two ropes in his system: the first is the lead line, which he used to climb the route. The second is the haul line, which is attached to his bag of equipment and is used to haul it up after him. Both are equally strong.First, he descends, rappelling on his haul line. After reaching the previous anchor, he notes that there is a great deal of slack in the haul line. He needs to release the haul bag from the anchor and let it swing out into space so that he can later retrieve it. The easiest way to remove this slack is just to reattach the bag to the rope above the slack and leave the rest dangling below in a long tail. He does this.Second, he ascends his lead line by jumaring while cleaning his gear. This is a long and physical process, but he finally reaches the top once again, with only a single task remaining.
>>254182Third, he must haul the bag up to him. This is done by laboriously pulling the haul line through a one-way pulley. He proceeds with the hauling until his bag gets stuck, hung up below and overhanging roof. He must descend and fix the problem himself. This is where Balin makes his fatal decision. He decides to descend on the other end of the haul line, the end that has been pulled through the one-way pulley. The advantage of this is that he can use his own weight as a counter-balance while he works to free the stuck haul bags. As we know, this line was not long enough to reach the bags, and he will fall off the end to his death. So why was he so sure that it would be long enough, so sure that he didn't bother to pull it up and tie a knot in the end? He can see that the bag is close to the top, and he knows that the haul line is much more than twice that distance, and so he can be sure that there is enough length of rope for him to reach the bags. However, he forgot that he had earlier reattached the bag to the haul line to remove the slack, leaving a long tail of rope dangling below. As a result, the haul line that Balin decides to use for his rappel is much shorter than he thought. And so, as he descends to his bag, the end of the rope passed through his device and he falls.

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
>>244716I was having fun with it immediately. When I was drinking and doing drugs, when I hated my stupid fucking job, and when I was a virgin I was like "at least I can go to BJJ." Now I've done away with these sorts of things and I have my brown belt and I did a year in judo and 3 in muay thai. Now my writing is influenced by it, I cuddle my dog in BJJ positions, and class gives structure to my day I can still take solace in the fact that I get to go grab someone's lapel and shake them around.There's a bunch of paths that get you where you want to go. You probably ought to take one you enjoy walking down.
>>253840How did you avoid the crippling injuries?
The only part I really enjoy is me grasping a certain concept and executing it, seeing my overall progress, however the training itself is just boring repetition most of the time, and that's all there's to it for me.
>>244716I do for health reasons. For now. Maybe it will be more fun as I get better. Still a NOGI newb. Hardest part is of course just getting ot out of the door. When you get there, change. 1,5 hour and forget. Come home tired as shit knowing it's good for the body and mind.
>>253846What do you mean? I just don't think they happen that often. I didn't go out of my way to avoid it. I got ringworm a couple times and that was the worst of it. Sometimes things ache and hurt. But I just stretch and train. I didn't even ever choose my partners wisely, just whoever wanted to rumble in any school in any country. I don't think there's very many people throwing kani basami or really in a rush to yank your arm
Can someone help me identify this bike?

20yo autist here, just went and climbed Shasta in December with two friends. Got to about 12k feet before the wind was making it impossible to stand up. I want to go back in May and do Shasta, Hood, and maybe Baker or Adams to get some familiarity with glaciers. Also happen to have a few glacier skills but never tested them out. I'm aware that climbing Shasta was retarded. Any advice?
I'd get a guide and get some skills at least if your friends don't know what they're doing either. You can ask them anything you want on the way about planning, what to look for, etc.Did Hood last year with Kaf Adventures wasn't too expensive and good. It's super bootpacked so very hard to get lost but moreso for the knowledge it was beneficial.
Mountainclimbing is awesome!
>>253419Mt. Hood is dangerous. Just because it’s close to a city and there is a very nice ski resort on it people think it’s going to be easy and safe

>>255327It's the most autistic "sport" imaginable, so it's perfect for 4channers. Thing is, it only really runs for two weeks every two months, so we're not big enough to stay on /sp/, but the only other board for combat sports is /xs/, which clearly struggles to contain our autistic output.
>>255327>>255328I hate sports but I love Japan and sumo is about the cultural tradition than "sport" to me and I enjoy Japanese culture.
>>255328True, as a 'tist I really enjoy figuring out the banzuke changes and torikumi
Old lady with a gigantic pompadour.
>>2553272 very large and surprisingly muscular and fast men slapping and shoving the fuck out of each on a stage that's basically concrete.Its the perfect sport.
Anyone else watching this shit?? I know the 101 is set up to prevent falling to the pavement, but holy fuck this is mental.
Yeah I mean this is like a V2 bouldering problem (x10). He must be laughing to the bank at the chinks paying him to do the easiest climb.
>>253937No one's claiming that the movements are the hard part
>>253937If you have to thrust your body, which he did here, that is more than a V2, probably a V3 or V4
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?
don't walk into it uncovered, keep your dukes up. then corner him, or slip his straight punches.\ upright stance is sitting duck for other opponent. try to corner him and give him a few power hooks to shake up his rythym and comfort zone. ]first few bouts are tough & the beating is a lesson to train harder
>>253381Also keep in mind that his liver is exposed to you all the time. Left hook to the body, left hook to the body work his liver
I disagree with the hookers here. Their jab is much faster than your hook is, you'll have to find/make an opening to get an opening for it, and the angle feels wrong for it to me too.
>>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.
