it's not that extreme when anyone can do it

AFF Instructor here.,...not everyone can do it. We fail about 30% of the people to the point of telling them to take up another sport.

You can't do those things if you're being outgrappled, though.

Want to participate in one of the most ultimate extreme sports? Come Skydive.

Either do a tandem for ~S220 (Don't get video you will watch it once or twice and it costs $120+) or go through AFF and jump with your own gear every jump ($~3600 for the first 8 jumps or so) Most jumps are $60-70 after that if renting gear, or ~$30 if you have your own.

Any questions? Ask away I'm an insutructor

not hard. When the manufacturer has their riggers try to pack an intentional malfunction so they can slowmo video the opening and get a better idea of whats going on, it opened without problems 70% of the time.

I have had friends toss a canopy into the wind and it works fine.

Extremely easy. There is no regulations of industry watch dog for bungee jumping. If you can afford the LLC and the bungee cord, you can start a business.

No sword art is made to be used on a fucking battlefield, I don't even understand where this myth comes from. Martial arts are for duel and street self defense scenarios, not battle.

>No sword art is made to be used on a fucking battlefield
If you think people were carrying greatswords for duels and self-defense in alleyways, then you are retarded.

>>263374
Lmao, all the montante sources we have are about either dueling (Marozzo's spadone) or crowd control in a street situation when bodyguarding (Godinho's montante).

Sure, the *weapon* was used on the battlefield (to some extent, not exactly clear how much), but the art associated with it is 100% not about battlefield use.

board size standard changes with the winds. in the 80s it was 10". in the 90s it got as low as 7.75. in the 00s it was 8. in the 2010s it got up to nearly 9". now it's creeping back down.

Keep strictly real-steel related topics in >>>/k/, gun and gear porn's cool as long as you don't spam.

If you have a useful guide or want to rework one for the OP, post it and someone will add it to the next one.

I've been fucking around with it every so often since. Just can't get anything done. It feels like at this point I'm gonna have to go through everything on the gearbox, because it happens even when I put the hop right up to the box, and it wouldn't be the hop I don't think because it hops great on those first few shots

Yes, I read the pins on /fit/, but I wonder if there are other ways that are focused/oriented for combat sports, or will I get the same results with Yoga or whatever else they do?.

I am a faggot, and a Kyokushin karate practicioner, so it is needed if you want good kicks.

I am only a White belt, and I know with time I will get better at it,. But even then I feel it leaves a lot to be desired (I am 54kgs which is like 120lbs), so my guess is that a decent mobility and flexibility should be the bare minimum for me.

So are there other ways to unlock splits and high kicks?

Have another guy force your legs into the splits. It not the healthiest way to do it and it would be extremely painful. But it's the fastest.
