Anyone he perceives a disagreement with.
He left Sumoforums over a decade ago after he asked for critique on the sumo book he was writing. And then had a massive sperg out when people had critiques.

Started training my hands referencing Wolff's law, currently using a single piece of cardboard covering cinder blocks. Averaging about 200 strikes (chain, straight, body punches) a day. I also use a grip resistance palm clench about the same amount of reps. Any other ideas how to strengthen the knuckles and joints? Curious about adding more calcium rich foods into my diet as well.

>>244584
try press-ups where you point the fingers towards each other in the middle, and flip the hands over between each rep.
palms on the floor, middle finger tips not too far apart, lower your chest to your hands, then press up and use the momentum to lift your hands off the floor. flip the hands over so you land on the backs of your hands instead, and repeat, alternating. makes your wrists sturdy.
i'm not that gym-strong but my gym bro friends mire this cause they can't do it. they also mire being able to pull up on a doorframe. they can do way more pullups than i can on a bar, but can't do one when they need to grip with just the fingertips. try that too.

Why?

>>244584
you'll probably end up creating built up damage and fragility that way. Punch softer things forever, not harder things occasionally.

Thoughts?

tl;dr The last one was great, looking forward to the next one.

I want to like Napoleon Blownapart, since he's genuinely witty and informative, but he sometimes goes on tangents that make no sense and his general opinions on the state of MMA are utterly hypocritical.
>Trashes any sort of traditional martial arts except for maybe Judo which have the whole values of honor, discipline and respect and doesn't even try to consider there is some legit stuff behind it and the only big problems being both McDojo and the cult-mentality of certain traditionalist places (which the old masters wouldn't even have approved of to begin with)
>Wonders suddenly why McDojos are propping up for BJJ and MMA, and is in such heavy copium he doesn't even call them McDojos even though they clearly are, because that would mean acknowledging that it's popularity that causes McDojos to open up, not just a style being bullshido or "flashy and old"
>Wonders why neo-nazis and dictators like MMA so much even though that crowd has always been attracted to the "dirtbag" aesthetic which MMA and Blownapart himself always promoted. He just dismisses this as being a "gamergate/comicgate effect" (which is absolutely insane to say)
>Trashes the current state of MMA and praises J-MMA as being superior but barely does any coverage for J-MMA and keeps on doing the same sensationalist videos about mainstream western MMA.
>Didn't even cover the things Raja Jackson did to Syko Stu because of his bias towards Rampage Jackson.
>Is friends with Super Eyepatch Wolf
On one hand, I genuinely respect a lot of his takes, but he genuinely drops the idiot ball way too many times in his recent videos especially. I get that he's left-leaning, but it is bizarre to me how he does the same talking points as MMA right-wing racists when it comes to asian martial arts and the gi aesthetic but at the same time, trash-talks those same racists
It's just hypocritical.
On the bright side, he's better than Armchair Violence who is just a smug pretentious contrarian. But still

Who’s down to have a stadium converted to a colosseum for voluntary one on one fights?

No rounds, no weight classes, till death - a proper Ultimate Fighting Championship.

If becomes reality I’ll fight first, let me know the opponent :)

There isnt a competent coach that doesnt encourage hands on experience. As long as youre being safe every martial art should allow sparring on the first lesson.

It has a great joint lock system. But you're better off learning Aiki-Jujutsu or Japanese Jujutsu that uses the same sort of joint lock system. So why bother? You're better off learning those and completing it off with Judo for maximum efficiency.

Most scholars now agree that Sokkaku essentially made that all up. Unlike what that anon seems to suggest however, he was considered an expert martial artists, yes even among the competitive martial arts scene at the time. He was known for his skill in very early kendo matches, but swordsmanship was not very popular at the time so he started teaching jujutsu. Where he learned jujutsu no one knows. He was considered good at sumo, but his system looks a lot like classical jujutsu, albeit far less organized than systems with an actual koryu lineage. Sokkaku also refused to take Ukemi, because he was incredibly paranoid. So unlike in classical Jujutsu where the teacher takes the falls for the student, in Daito ryu and Aikido the student usually takes the falls for the teacher.

Hello everyone,
I am conducting a short academic survey as part of a master’s thesis in architecture. The research focuses on tourism pressure, infrastructure, and spatial responsibility in high alpine environments.
I am particularly interested in your perception of overcrowding, hut capacity, and how new infrastructure in extreme landscapes should be handled.
The survey is anonymous and used exclusively for academic research.
Thank you for your time and insights! :)

>Also nothing more westerner than karate am I right
Bad example, as the West doesn't give a shit about karate; any martial art with kata (dance moves meant to help train muscle memory) is generally only taught to children, plus any martial art that talks about chi/ki/qi is openly mocked.

I'm not sure you know what karate is, anon. BTW, during the 80s when Eastern martial arts became famous in the West, the one to grow the biggest was Judo. TKD and karate had to be westernized into kickboxing because the mysticism of it all was considered ridiculous.

Because usa already had boxing for a specialist style, that's not to say boxing is better than Muay thai, i like it far more than boxing but the audience was already captured by boxing so no other style can replace it just like in thai land no other style actually matters because they have Muay thai.
Japan has a variety of styles but all are japanese and lets them pick their flavor of autism.

Mma was able to grow in usa because the concept of a completely alien style facing eachother like boxing vs wrestling was unique and an entire new genre of autism that tickled the tribalism aspect of human nature.
Humans like to create communities and like the feeling of belonging to one and other communities are enemies, this is human nature and its why team sports are so popular, it allows the viewers to feel as part of a community and fight others and prove the superiority of their own, mma allows this which no other specialist style allows.
Mma fans that hate grappling hate it not because grappling itself is bad but because the hyperspecialization goes against the very nature of mma, nobody complains about grappling in mma when they are beating the shit out of eachother then scramble and try to rip eachother arms off or flatten their face on the ground, people complain when there's 20 minutes of ground control and minimal strikes or even submission attempts.
It would be like if in muay thai someone goes for the clinch but never does anything with it, no knees, elbows or sweeps or if they spend most of the match snap kicking the leg while running away avoiding everything to win on points because the other guy didn't land anything.

Muay thai can't be successful outside thailand because everyone else already have their sports established and it doesn't offer anything than the others don't.
That said even in thailand its being slowly assimilated by kickboxing and mma.

European riders are arguably the more skilled of the two, riding on gnarlier tracks and outdoors only. Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-BleZkNdEU&t=1527s
Yet, European pros themselves still watch AMA more growing up. We do nothing to make it more presentable. The tracks are diarrhea with some plastic poles to mark where to go.
Why are we like this?

>European riders are arguably the more skilled of the two
No. Your defending champion Jorge Prado came to the US and is getting 5-8.
