I want to get into some martial real bad, with boxing my main pick but I'm so afraid of CTE. I program for a living and can't afford to lose IQ points to doing a sport. How do you anons deal with this???

NTA, but my brain is about the only part of my body that I'm actually worried about. I've seen firsthand what dementia/Alzheimer's does to a person, not wanting to end up like that is a valid concern I think
Sure, not training at all in the name of brain health is kinda dumb, but some concern is warranted

Is there a martial art that is 100% defensive?
ONLY blocks and evades.
MAYBE some holds or locks but ideally just defense.

A place to discuss zorbing and zorbing accessories. A misunderstood but globular extreme sport. Limp Bizkit once wrote a song about this

>>
>>215184
I think it's acceptable given that all the original photos were burned by the anti-zorb lobby before they could be digitized.
Speaking of lobbies, did you know there was a zorb event planned for 2012 Olympics in London? We were so close to greatness...
>>

>>
>>215234
if zorbing really becomes a permanent olympic sport, all of the underground zorbing rings will lose what makes them special when all he proffesionals pivot over to officially sanctioned events. The olympic committees would probably force everyone to wear special suits for saftey reasons, outlaw the use of lubricants, and forbid zorb decorating.
not to mention the substance abuse/doping etc, but everybody already knows that's a problem.
>>
>>218497
>zorb suits
And then they'll ban the event because everyone passed out from heat stroke.
But to be honest, I don't think underground zorbing is all that great. Needlessly dangerous courses only attract bloodthirsty rubbernecks, and they will never appreciate technical zorbing.

Based Usyk did it again
Undisputed in two weight classes
Dude exceeded expectations and beat everyone in front of him. Great fighter.

What do you guys think Usyk should do next? I think he's done enough and should retire.
>>
>>218056
Fury should have retired when he first said he would retire
Now he's a fool
It'll happen to Usyk too if he doesn't know when to stop, so yes, I think he should retire while he's on top
>>
>>218505
Nah it's cooler to give all you got and then retire

Uysk was icey in that match though, I knew he was going to win as soon as I saw that initial staredown in the ring

I have a lot of friends who are learning boxing and kick boxing. Should I take some lessons or just buy a gun?
29 replies and 4 images omitted. Click here to view.

>>212466
learn to fight and buy a gun and everything else that you can and by more guns and various weapons. Be as bad as you can be, learn how to hack, learn human anatomy so you will know all the vital arteries and organs to attack. Learn how to throw a baseball acurately, how to throw a knife, how to shoot a bow and arrow. how to shoot a pistol, how to use a sniper rifle, how to fly a god damn helicopter. Star jogging, running, sprinting, swimming. sky diving. Get in tip top shape and try out for US Navy Spec Ops.
>>
>>212466
For street defense
>How to punch
Will give you a feel for how bad it can be to lean in too hard into a punch while punching so you learn how to be safe
>Kickboxing
Will teach you that kicking in the streets can be retarded if you slip and fall on concrete
>Judo
Will teach you how not fall headfirst onto concrete or fall in a fucked up way and be unable to run away
Kickboxing also will show you the perils of changing level into someone smacking you in the face
All these martial arts are good. If only to reach you how to not get yourself dead

not OP but I will also ask: I have been a retard for a long while. I had a basic\good base on kickboxing and boxing, but I stopped going to the gym because it wasn't "hard enough" and spent months practicing punches, kicks, etc against those iron poles or metal equipment at public park, trees, hitting myself with dumbbells or even barbells, etc ,and just sprinting\ doing random but tiring shit with my home gym weights.
Now I came to realize : life ISN'T about headbutting s dumbell for reps ..I sincerely want to learn an Art (of fighting now) so:
> what coordination ,hand-eye drills are good and where can I get a book about them?\ youtube channels, etc?
>what sparring regime is advice for a non-pro, frequency, agreed-upon level of harshness, etc?
>what equipment MUST a gym have? tear drop bag, banana bag etc
>Should I learn no-gi BJJ ,and K-1? I want to acquire real fitness, agility, dynamic power and body-smarts.
(I will move to another City so I won't be returning to the gym I went to. I think they don't give the classes anymore even)

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?
1 reply omitted. Click here to view.
>>
>>217637
Is it muscle soreness or actual "bad pain"?
If it's the former, just exercise your forearms.
If it's the latter, slow down for a while, make sure you're not getting injured and slowly build to the point that you can punch comfortably
>>
>>217637
if you've never punched anything for an extended period that's normal
>>
Grappling with a gi is way worse for your hands.
>>
>>217637
Are you wrapping your hands and using proper gloves? If yes just take it slow and see how it goes. You need to assess if it's just muscle/tendon/bone weakness or if you are fucking yourself with poor technique.

I'm a big guy, I'm 6"3' and I used to be a powerlifter so I'm strong fat
I'm right handed
When I was young I badly injured my right shoulder, so when I started boxing I learned to lead with my right arm despite being right handed
I've been doing this so long that leading with my dominant hand feels totally natural and normal; jabs and lead hooks feel like butter
When training I read Jack Dempsey's book and focused a lot on hitting hard
After a few years my shoulder totally healed and it has since regained all its strength
Apparently a large guy who fights southpaw despite being right handed, and who focuses almost entirely on hitting hard, is terrifying, since I can throw jabs like sledgehammers

Should I go on a cut and compete?
Someone told me I'd do pretty well
>>
>>216167
Tony Jeffries is a professional trainer that has a lot of boxing videos about how to improve, however be aware that he uses a british boxing style so if you use something different like the soviet style it won't suit you unless you have the normal stance then you shouldn't have any problems taking his videos into account
>>
>>216845
If you really are invested go on and try it. But beware they are gonna fuck you up, i posted my experience a little up in the thread where i got to fight an experienced amateur in an sparring a "golden boy" if you wanna read it. They are gonna use you for boosting golden boys of the gyms and if you wanna improve in the sport you are gonna have to eat a lot of shit. But like i said try it and see for yourself if you wanna try compettive boxing. Blessings.

2D games lets you jump high, no side step
3D games lets you side step, not let you jump high

But in real world blood sport, is side step actually utilized? And not talking about bob and weave.

What I'm trying to say is, I need gifs and webms.

Getting out of the center line and stepping outside of your opponent's lead foot are some of the most basic techniques in many martial arts
