Is rollerblading still alive?
>>217685Yes, but they are rare these days and I only ever see older dudes doing it.t. wood pusher
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?t. Physicist, need my brain for work
>>193647do wrestling instead. it's better and safer for you head
>>216210If christmas goes as I hope it might I'll have been black in 6 yearsThis is the power of weaponized autism
>>211322First one could be avoided by not competing outside your gym and just learning for self defense.Second one could be avoided by training in a not crowded gym. Just pick a smalled club or a big one where the coach gives a single fuck about your safety.
>>193650>he doesn't know about BJJ and stroke risk.
>>216580Why must you be evil
genuine questionare there any MMA/KB promotions in the west that a tranner could compete in? i rly dont mind competing as and against men and im a couple months off my 1st amateur fight stilljust daydreaming of the octagon and the ring and the shit id need to do to make it work
Street beefs up near tacoma or oly. Check out Gash
>>216850bjj is probably one of the only welcoming tranny martial arts
>>216850UFC had two tranny fighters in the pro league fighting bio women, Fallon Fox (who almost killed one of her opponents) and Alana McLaughlin so your dream is not far off.
>are there any MM -ACK

Why are the bulls so stupid? Why do they always fall for the cape trick?Don't they realize that the matador's legs will always be beneath his torso and that attacking the cape is a chump move?Why are bulls so low IQ?
>>215433A large number of matadors actually get gored to death.
>>215433Herd animals tend to be dumb as fuck, just like the humans who invented this "sport"Also they're already drugged and injured when they enter
Bullfighting should be more popular.
>>215433They go against what moves the most.If it takes too long they learn to stop aiming there and just ram the fucker holding it.
>>216160It used to be, petafaggots and their sympathizers need to be culled so we can return to the glory days
Boxing>Judo>Wrestling>Thau>whatever comes from europe>asia>BJJEverytime you see someone beating the shit out of more than person they are boxers
>>217020Which they rarely practice due to the competition's dumb ruleset. Having the technique is different from training/pressure testing it.
>>217030You're absolutely full of shit. No high-level judoka is going to neglect matwork. Look at World Judo Championships and Olympic matches; there's groundfighting and setups for pins and submissions. >>217021This too. Judo teaches break falls.
>>212990Nobody looks down on boxing in the UFC. Don't know how people from the most watched combat sport can have the persecution complex that they do.I'd even argue that very few people have actually good boxing in the UFC. The reason why so many knockouts are with the hands is because fighters just swing as hard as they can with little attention paid to form.
>>217456>Muh formIf it works, it works
The answer is IT DEPENDS whether the skill gap or the strength gap is bigger
>>203309My money would be on Jones but anything could happen when the bigger guy is twice as big and can deadlift the smaller guy 4 times over
>>203309
>>206544Sounds like an excuse for the unarmed combatants lol
>>203882Actually they fought for a few minutes with the big guy gaining dominant positions once or twice. he even let the martial artist have a break once his t shirt went over his head to readjust his clothes Big powerful guys are dangerous especially with no rules and if they manage to sprawl on you face first into concrete. even in a cage we have seen sumo wrestlers and big guys like Nelson just squish people
Prime Karelin vs prime Riner in a MMA fight, who would win?
kurt angle with a broken freakin neck and 12 shots of novocaine directly into his spine 15 minutes before the matchvskurt angle with a regular neck
*ends your parkour career by the time you are 31*
>>216907Probably not. Those kids are probably being chased for minor reasons (likely related to parkour) but even shooting a young adult running from a felony traffic stop after participating in a drive by shooting can trigger protests and get your police department shut down.https://www.wtae.com/article/east-pittsburgh-police-department-set-to-disband-dec-1/25299667https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Antwon_Rose_Jr.

>>216913Fucking niggers
More like parkour ended your walking career
The super jacked heavyweights and super heavyweights clearly put a lot of time into strength training. Strength training is the best thing you can do for explosiveness. Feel free to debate me on this, but it's pretty obvious. Once you've mastered technique, the only thing going to give you an edge is further explosiveness. I am a noob at martial arts, so correct me if I'm wrong at this. I know cardiovascular potential is also important, and bigger guys technically have less of it, even if they do plenty of cardio.Now, how much of an advantage would a 7'6, 500 pounds of lean mass giant who can deadlift 505 kilos raw as part of his warmup have against other opponents? He would look like something from DBZ. I imagine he wouldn't have to be nearly as skilled to be super successful.
>>217015Yes, but your argument is with cardio. There's no way in hell you're going to get anywhere near maximizing the stimulus needed to increase your cardiovascular potential from just martial arts.
>>217016you're retarded and have no idea what you're talking about dude.A lot of martial artists live to be incredibly old.
>>217008why the fuck would him eating like a fatass pig trying to build muscle would help him in any way shape or form? that'll make weight cuts harder for him. + he's been very successful at BW, he'd get mauled at any other weight classes.
>>217462>+ he's been very successful at BW, he'd get mauled at any other weight classes.I'm wondering if his reach has anything to do with him performing so well. He's virtually underweight for his height in his current weight class.
>>217494It's mostly the reach, there are only two other fighters in that division that are as tall as him and of them O'Malley has the longest wingspan>underweightI think he has stated somewhere that he walks around at 150+ and regains like 15lbs between weigh-in and the fight. So he's skinny but not Auschwitz mode and presumably mostly cuts water weight
Any freestyle wrestling fans here
>>212843me me i am
>>212843I watch it if I accidentally bump into it, don't avidly pay attention to the scene. Freestyle cool.
>>212843I watch older matches
>>212843What exactly is the difference between freestyle and folkstyle?
I want to learn something that would actually teach me how to use a weapon, near me they have fencing, eskrima and kendo. Of these three which one would have the most real life applicability?
>>216898Owning a gun is easy. Getting a concealed carry license is hard.
>>216899Kinda hard to defend yourself when they heavily restrict concealed carry and also make open carry illegal.
>>200581People who say shit like this have no idea what it's like to actually kill something. I've never shot a person but I've shot animals while hunting and it's not immediate, even if you're a good shot (unless you're going for a headshot). You can shoot someone and still die because they had some fight left in them before they go.
>>200585It's not legal in most places to carry a sword. If it were, we'd probably see more sword action.
xD this threads its too funny... woo hoo...... XD
So this is the power of Kyokushin Karate...
>>206599I used to get made fun of by the life guards at the local pool for being the weirdo that does karate in the pool but I brought home a gold medal for sparring so fuck em
>>206599i forget how slow this board issurprising this thread is still alive
>>217389sumo bros have two threads that have been over the bump limit for like 6 months and neither one has dropped off the board yet lol
>>212173Oyama had a lot of culty shit built around him but the dude was still legit. He did 100 man Kumites multiple times. At least once they had to stop because there were no un-injured participants left.
>>217400If he was legit he wouldn't need to stage fake events like fighting the bull and karate chopping its horn off The test of legitness what your rivals say about you, not what you or your followers say about yourself
bmx riders are coolest, most talented, and do the most dangerous shithttps://youtu.be/YdtjZn1cOfI
>>207362>going slightly uphill is just easier on a board than pedalling on a bikeyou pick the board up and walk with it. cycling uphill on bmx is not easy, you'll just end up pushing it.>having the option to sitas I said, unless you're an absolute manlet or riding some 1980s bmx this is not a realistic option
>>207370This nigga so fat he can't ride a bike up a hill. Grim bro.
Hope Alex Hiam is recovering well after his crash at SS24
I got into bmx after having watched the olympics race, looks kinda fun ngl
I want to get into it, but I'm also trying to lock in on my skating
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
>>189546>>189556All valid recommendations Missing >Grappler BakiThe first manga is genuinely a masterpiece and much more grounded than you would believe. The second and third manga are also good reads but its like going from Dragonball to Dragonball Z not that it borderd me just a heads up
>>196098Great manga, though I felt it was silly the mc changed his last name to his wife's. I remember being disappointed there wasn't more rock climbing for a while, but the mountain climbing stuff grew on me, and I want to climb dangerous mountains now
>>189476I really like "Karate Shoukoushi Kohinata Minoru" and also "Batuque."
>>189476Batuque
>>212951I wasn't a big fan of the ending, but the fights were good.
Careers of whom? Until someone posts names of several fighters who retired because of it, all this "ban oblique kicks in the UFC" is just rambling about what theoretically may happen
>>217071Wasn't there a guy who had both of his knees blown out and needing surgery after fighting someone who spammed these for the whole fight, Jones I think?
>>217099Just looked it up, Thiago Santos>During the fight he sustained a torn left ACL, PCL, MCL, meniscus, and cracked tibia along with a partially torn right meniscus
>>217071The knee is literally the worst joint in the human body, easy to break and very hard to heal
If you can twist someone's arm off you can kick someone's knee. Just tap out if it hurts
They should fight to the death
