I want to study classical budo, but the options in my area are limited. There is one dojo nearby where the school being practiced carries the name of a koryu tradition, but the dojo has no connection to the Japanese lineage. Based on videos, the kata appear to be the same as those seen in embu demonstrations of the Japanese line, but the group poses in photos as if they just want to look cool, and in the training videos they do many things that wouldn’t be done in a koryu. In addition, a large number of belt ranks have been added. To top it all off, there are patches attached to the training uniforms.Should I go and give it a try anyway? Around here, the McDojo culture is not looked upon favorably by practitioners of other martial arts.
Does the left guy have proper form on his missed punch? I've never seen someone twist his fist so much.

>>238582Pickle did get fucked over. And Jack's face was hilarious. But come on, he takes picrel like a champ but Hanayama taking off a bit of skin made him cry?

I just started skatingis there any advice anyone can give me?>inb4 practice makes perfect
>>215564Never give up because a life without challenges taken is a life not lived.
>>233057This is all good. Also, bend your knees. Anytime your technique is fucked, chances are you aren’t bending your knees enough.>>217663I have kids so that’s my excuse. I’m definitely self conscious hanging out at the skatepark around a bunch of kids though, so I built a mini ramp in my garage and do flat ground stuff in my driveway or at night in a church parking lot close to my house.>>221557Yeah this has been my experience as well. If you’re old, go to the skatepark early in the morning. That’s when all the olds hang out (by “all”, I mean max 2-3 other people so you basically get the park to yourself). You can meet some cool people that way and won’t get mistaken for a diddler.

I've been boxing for a month and after hitting the beavy bag for a few rounds I ALWAYS have sore hands and forearms, and the pain lasts for days. I have an office job so a hand injury is not something I want. Will it go away or should I go for a grappling art instead?
Are you wrapping your hands properly? I was getting sore hands after training at one point. I found that taking a little longer to wrap them properly made a huge difference and the pain went away shortly after.
>>217643great advice anonn0
Get a tennis ball. Cut a slot into it. Fill it with low value small coins. Tape it over with duct tape or metal tape. Throw that ball and catch it, snatch it out of the air. Swith hands and get faster. This will train many things and one of them is hand bones/flesh. Also: wrap a bag of rice in tape and hit it gently with your fist, palms every day. If your hands are really bad, get some hand linement for iron palm training and soothe them with that. You should anyway for doing the above harder.
>>217637>grappling art insteadwhat did he mean by this?
Have a chat with your coach about it. Show them how you're wrapping your hands and see if they have any input on your method and if they have any improvements to offer. Look at tutorials on YouTube for hand wrapping and see if someone is offering a better alternative.t. Guy who used to get sore hands that stopped immediately after wrapping my hands better.
Does anyone else remember QUEST or budoworld dvds from Japan? My instructor has shown me photos of shops in Japan where they have metres and metres of martial arts documentaries, techniques, matches, and there's barely any of it on the internet. Does anyone know if it's on any private trackers etc?
>>236729they're different species. black bears have been killed by bare handed humans in extreme situations, lost mountaneers, etcno human has\ could possibly, IMO, kill a feral grizzly bear

>>237669There are lots of purowresu specialist shops in Japan yeah
Sometimes people are willing to trade rips or sell old collections
I can't decide which ones to get and I'd appreciate some help

First of all kids 8-16 could get larger and larger wheelbases and Ollie higher and higher because if you step up your wheelbase at that age you encourage leg growth. Institutionalizm has effected the design of skateparks because baggy pants that sag dont give you long legs so shorter run ups and different proportioned ramps have become the norm. When I skate I dont care who or what you are im just skating by myself of with the harmony and rhythm of other people. Skate product companies would profit off this more because it would create life long skateboarders. If you could choose to skate again at 8-12 would you go for long body and short legs or long legs and short body. Im 5"12 67% leg and I can kickflip 4 feet high. Shouldn't we encourage growing long legs instead of short legs and not walking as much in life. Long story short I ask big globo skate companies to start making popsicles 15.5 -18.5 in wheelbase

Death Sentence is an autistic black guy that learned to fight from anime and Batman games. He has been consistently getting his ass chocked out in street beefs to the point of notoriety. He's quite a character, so much so he ended up being interviewed by Mighty Mouse and now it seems MM's agreed to put him through a proper training camp and documenting the entire process.The first episode is hilarious but I'm wondering if this guy can rein in his autism somewhat and actually learn to fight.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIBIM3Z6SuE

>>229516Illuminate was such a pussy. If he planned on quitting, then he shouldn't have talked all that trash.
>>229515I haven't heard of that dude in ages. There was this one video where he shows up to this bodybuilder's office and the bodybuilder basically gives him 2 week's worth of freeze dried food, and Janoy Cresva still has the gall to ask for gas money and extra supplements, and all the comments were basically just "The Iron Extortionist strikes again!", and that shit made me crack up hard.

If I do a kickflip and no one sees it, is tony hawk still proud of me?
>>238097You can see from my fail video that I used to have steel toes bridging the gap between the end of the ramp and the concrete flat. I did that because I foolishly believed ChatGPT when it told me I couldn’t just lay Masonite flat on the floor of the concrete and call it a flat. It insisted that if I was going to have a Masonite flat, I’d have to frame it out and have the flat be supported by 2x4 ribs and plywood like the ramps are. It recommended building the toe out of 1/4” steel, and said the bump it would create would be negligible and I’d never even feel it. As Maury would say, that was a lie.I unfucked it by building a little 5 rung staircase from the ground to the edge of the ramp out of some el cheapo 1/4” osb plywood I had lying around, adding a step every time the Masonite rose 1/4”. I cut all the steps out, glued them with wood glue, and just set them in place. They aren’t attached to anything, they’re just sitting under the edge of the ramp. The sheets of Masonite that bridge the gap between the bottom of the ramp and the floor are only screwed to the ramp, the rest just lays on the osb and the concrete. I had a scrap sheet of Masonite that was about 2x8 or so, and it is set in the center of the flat, not actually attached to anything. I snugged the two ramps against each other which holds the flat bottom in place.Kinda sucks in hindsight, the pressed steel for the toe wasn’t cheap, and I had to take it to a machine shop to get a slight kink in it, and I meticulously buffed a pretty swirly pattern into the metal and drilled and countersunk all the holes to the exact depth of my screw heads for a super flush finish. Great execution if I do say so myself, just wasted on a shit idea.
>>238108This all sounds chinese to me more or less, that's why I asked if you were the architecture-prone kid from It, but anyone who builds a miniramp with their hands deserves to enjoy it, so here are my tips>>238099
>>238108If it comes down to it you can always sell the ramp also, sounds nice

Anybody ever do Daito Ryu? There's a place like 10 minutes away where some autist from Japan teaches it and I'm interested in checking it out. I did MMA for a couple years so I'm not worried about the practicality of it or self defense bullshit, I've already scratched that itch. I just want to know if it might be fun. Obviously, the best thing to do is to just take a class, but in the meantime I was wondering if anybody had any experience with this shit.
>>237238>By the SAME motherfuckers that either trained the samurai classes. or were trained by the trainers of the samurai classes that fought in armorMost of them have whole generations of separation from anyone that fought in armor and in the case of ones like Karate, they were not connected to any fucking ruling class. You don't know shit about martial arts history & you're just butthurt you're being outed for having nothing more than superficial wikipedia grade knowledge base.
>>237229>The only martial art that wasnt weapon based employed during the time of the samurai was jujutsu Yeah, and I was talking mostly about kenjutsu. But jujutsu had a competitive scene as well, and alot of jujutsu schools were for interschool competition or unarmored fighting, not armored combat.
>>237240>talking mostly about kenjutsuWhy, when the only thing discussed prior was a school of jujutsu? You're admitting that everything you said was irrelevant.
>>237243I was responding to the comment about old school styles. Many of the comments I made also apply to jujutsu schools. Many postdate the warring states era, and even if they contained some armored grappling it often was not their focus.
>>237239>Most of them have whole generations of separation from anyone that fought in armorWho do you think developed it, you stupid fuck? The peasants? The monks? No, the fighting classes. They all had trainers that taught the high ranks techniques to protect them from their rivals and ignorant peasant scum, like you. Eventually, others began to teach what was once taught to commoners for money when the feudal system began to collapse.You really are a stupid motherfucker.
