Any Pickleball enjoyers in here? We started playing at work every day for a few hours and HOLY SHIT.. it's good
I've never been but I ordered some paddles. Will my $25 Walmart paddles work ok?
>>243237Dude you should try this thread over on /spThough, pickleball is extreme af.. I saw some guys with face tattoos playing pickleball and they were dri king redball and getting real rowdy.
Is 24 too old to go pro in MMA? I've been a miserable loser all my life and if I succeeded in this, could I retroactively justify the pain or something? My stats>5'11", natural light or welterweight>between 183-185cm wingspan>roughly intermediate or above strength on all major lifts>sadly no wrestling in high school (no bitches either)>trained for a year in the past, went all in on striking and picked up some grappling/jiu jitsu too>lonely, isolated friendless khhv for years nowI don't even care about my life anymore, this could be the only thing that could justify my existence. But I fear I'll never be able to catch up to the ones who went all in from birth.
>>241005Nice. Maybe against a gun, firearms are illegal where I live except for hunting rifles
>>241007If the legal risk of being armed were greater than the physical risk of being unarmed I probably wouldn't carry a pistol, either. How are other weapon and self-defense laws? Unarmed combat in a self-defense scenario often determines who gets to have the advantage in the imminent armed combat so arming yourself ahead of time can be advantageous.
>>241010The reason I want to learn unarmed ma is because the laws here are retarded.You can carry certain types of knives that are deemed "not weapons" as tools. You can have bats or other things you could use only for sports purposes. In a home intrusion scenario it is illegal to physically harm the intruder in any way unless you have been evidently physically harmed yourself first (so even if he has a knife, unless you have been stabbed you will go to jail for punching the guy who has invaded your home to rob you)I don't have a problem doing life for protecting my family with a hunting shotgun that I will get at some point, but for myself I'd rather punch or render someone unconscious in self sefense rather than kill, for a more tolerable punishment.
https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/622610-it-is-said-the-warrior-s-is-the-twofold-way-of>“It is said the warrior's is the twofold Way of pen and sword, and he should have a taste for both Ways. Even if a man has no natural ability he can be a warrior by sticking assiduously to both divisions of the Way.”
>>241019Is this the UK? It sounds very similar to the legal situation I researched while planning a trip there. What kinds of security architecture are you using to lessen the odds of criminals in your abode?
I want to accomplish a specific set of martial arts\strongman related extreme feats, and film them for only my family to see after I die. I'm convinced and sure I will die soon -I don't WANT to, I just feel I will-, these mini-movie will be a sort of legacy to my little cousins, and little nephew. I'd need advice on how to get as close as possible to doing them;>what's the non-fake materia, method, for karate breaking? As in; non-fake wood type, whether ice blocks is really a remarkable item to break (how to NOT fake the ice), plausible type of concrete>safe way to try the heaviest possible natty squat for me. I specifically want to SQUAT. for some reason.>misc. stuff like "iron body" (tanking hits with a shovel or s\thing, I dunno), breaking a bat with a shin kick, etc
>>242924They don't care about your stupid ego fulfilment videos If you cared about them you would have made some money to give them They don't care and say "ooh my cousin so strong!!" And become Goku super saiyan afterwards They just go back to playing Fortnite
>>242924retarded idea
boxing generalITT we talk about boxing, not focusing on fights and events but talking about training, techniques, gym shit, injuries, our sparring and fights, ask for advice etc
>>242287How do you do this without falling into bad habits and thoughtless form
>>242567Weird answer to this desu but the some of the best boxers are ones that do understand the basics but break alot of conventional 'rules' to suit there style (usually are good fighters naturally and not afraid to get hit because of confidence or just being wired a bit different). Also when i saw conventional 'rules' i don't mean breaking the actual rules, alot of the absolute best have a set of there own unconventional rules

I'd fuck you all up.
>trying to decide between going for a walk or playing disc golf. Played disc golf yesterday for reference.
>>240601That's pretty rad dude. Does the dye impact the glow?
Disc golf is always the answer. just dont get too attached to your plastic, you WILL lose discs.
>>242112also do yourself a favor and buy used from a play it again or something. Beat-in plastic is almost always better and cheaper. also also more speed doesnt mean more distance. I throw about 315 and mostly throw 7 speeds or understable 9 speeds.
>>194086I just played my first game of disc golf with some friends from my job , it was a lot of fun.
>>242112I lost a thunderbird in the water crossing at my local place the first time I went so I dove for it and came back with 16 more discs. I kept the ones without numbers and only one (1) still smells like swamp ass.
Free your mind edition Old thread >>239762
I'm 31 yo and think I want to try skateboarding again since its actually fun exercise. I used to do it a lot at ages 17-19, but now I'm kind of worried due to years of inactivity I'm just gonna break my ankle bones or something.
New thread>>242864
Who's the best skater in the scene right now? I mean in terms of skill, swag, everything.
>>241230>free your mind by accepting black people like all popular media is telling you to and will be for the rest of your life in an effort to lessen you and your ancestors accomplishments and redistribute the wealth they worked so hard for over generationsMan mainstream skating like Tony Hawk is so badass! I am going to go play the $40 remake of a game that was $40 25 years ago! Fucking EXTREEEEEEME! WOOOOOOOOOOO!
>>241969It looks beautiful, but cutting down old trees is a crime!!
Holy shit leroy is actually doing it. I got 250 on his head on draftkings

How do we feel about adults using scooters?Yes, I'm insecure about it because I'm considering getting one to get to places faster and overall do a little exercise but I don't want to look like a twat.
LMAO Got a scooter also. Just didn't use it because just looks really awkward. There are wide variety of bikes.
>>238022>riding around skating in the street a few weeks back.>drunk ass 40 yo neighbor comes over to talk to me>Tells me do a kick flip etc>I offer him the board after a bit> He laughs and grabs his daughters razor scooter>Goes "check this out">Tries to do something maybe a bunny hop?>Lands directly on his back, scooter falls on top of him>Hobles back inside gasping for airLeave it to the pros I suppose.
>>238022I considered one for the last leg of my commute(2 buses then a 2 mile walk)Ended up just getting a bike to cycle the whole thing>got it home and it has a puncture so I still haven't taken it in yet
>>238022everyone hating on a scooter would probably crack there shit trying to do a real trick like a blunt on a rail. Fuck these faggots do what you wanna do. Scootering is based and fun as hell. A lot of scooter street parts have more swag and less gay song choices too because they realize they actually have to have extra swag to make scootering look cool so there is more effort put into not looking like a queer corporate sell out poser.
>>238022i had the opportunity once to ride one for free in public. was fun, they go pretty fast but I'd never personally own one. If you like it, go for it. But yea, expect people to talk shit or give you looks. Rarely, but expect it nonetheless.

Any of you fags go caving?
>>230886nutsack buttsack cave?
It's where you will meet the strangest people
No, but sounds interesting. Any recommendations?
Too mainstream. I'm pioneering cave wingsuit descent, and it's going to be big.
>>241844You'll definitely be a big hit
I am not good at snowboarding, nor do i have gear for my own (apart from a SMITH helmet and goggles i got from a friend) , does anyone have any recommendations for all-mountain boards and/or advice on how to get better at the sport itself (i have trouble keeping balanced when im going fast)
R8 my powder (Idaho) setup for a 6’, 175lb guy with size 11.5 US shoe size
>>241529You should really try boots on in person Also thermo molding is worth it
>>241529have you tried the hps boards before? everyone i've talked to says they're really soft, like taco soft
>>241534>try boots on in personThis. Got to make sure they're a good fit or you'll want to murder people.
>>241529>>241534>>241747I can't count the amount of times I see people selling basically brand new boots because they bought them online and realised they were too big/didn't match the profile of their foot.You can buy everything else online but go support your local and buy boots in store Ask to do a shell check or do it yourself while you're there>Pull the liner out of the shell>Stick your foot inside the shell and slide up until you can just feel the front>Look at the space in between the back of your heel and the shell>You want somewhere between a centimetre to an inch of space back thereOh and aftermarket insoles made so much difference to the comfort and overall riding that I feel stupid for not getting them earlier so definitely recommend picking up a pair if you can.
>motivated to join mma>got punched in the head>now im coping that mma is bad for braingive me advice boyos.i dont want to stay pussy. but i also dont want to become retarded
>>225519/threadThis is pretty clear at this point. Yes there has been studies that have shown the brain can recover from the effects of "hard sparring" over the next 24 hours, however, we also know that brain damage is cumulative. Just because your brain can recover once, doesn't mean it will recover always. Permanent impairment from this shit is a matter of (frequency×intensity)÷skill. It's ironic many people support hard sparring for the "getting hit" conditioning, because you should be learning avoidance more than anything.>avoiding>parry>block>getting hitIf sparring is conditioning you for getting hit, you're sparring wrong.
>>225519Combat sports are generally bad for your health. Even BJJ will ruin your ears and most likely give you some kind of long-term knee issue. Only do it if you love it. Otherwise stick to weightlifting and running.
>>225789Did you stop training in boxing completely after that?I’m kinda looking to do the same thing with boxing and wrestling and probably only doing a small number of amateur bouts in boxing to prove it to myself that I can do it.
>>241104Yeah I stopped training, unless you count hitting the bag once in a while "still training"To be honest I miss it and I felt really confident and happy with life when I was training with the intention to fight, which is why I am looking to get back into another martial art now. I wish I went into another art after like a year instead of wasting years of my life not training anything
>>225417you have to accept there's some degree of getting hit/damage, its a extreme sportthat being said it shoulden't be "excessive or unessicary" are they going so hard that you are/will feel dizzy or rattled regularly? then its probably not a good gym.
>find some combat sports gym>they either are really casual or really tryhard, or just a weird culture>find one suitable>ok we'll do pads/drill for 2 hours then spar for a total of 15 mins>eventually fall into a routine because its the same people>a new guy shows up>ok now we start from the absolute basics again>get demoralized because your paying 80$ a month for this shitlook on craigslist etc>woah free (almost free) hobbyist group>show up>everyone is 30 mins late>goes pretty well get in alot of rounds learn shit too>sometimes tryhards show up and ruin the mood - bro why are you trying to kill meComment too long.
