This. I think the issue is not the art of bjj itself but just its current status as THE martial art everyone wants to practice.

The only time I ever think about self defense is when someone like you brings it up. I'm gonna be real anon, in the past month I haven't left the house unless it's the grocery store, the gym, or the library+park in the middle of the day in an affluent area.

For my money pepper gel is easier to wield, less legal hassle, cheaper, less training required, just as effective for deterrent, and less likely to find weapons pulled on you in return.

arguable, they both require accuracy.
>less legal hassle
When you use one, whether or not it becomes a legal hassle is up to the DA, not you.
>cheaper
Okay, you base the tool to save your life on its cost.
>less training required
I'll agree with you on this one.
>just as effective for deterrent
No, a pepper spray isn't guaranteed to take someone down. a CNS hit with a gun is guaranteed to work.
>less likely to find weapons pulled on you in return
I'd say its about the same chance of getting a weapon pulled on you, but I suppose on this one we'll have to agree to disagree.

They’re all honorary though. Because he helped established heaps of martial arts tournaments and the like. Aside from sambo (and russians don’t tend to view judo and sambo as two seperate things), he hasn’t trained anything else. I mean, one of his black belts is in taekwondo, for fucks sake. You think he can bust out hwa-rang? What about koryo? Absolute nonsense, the man’s never done an axe kick in his life.

Putin was trained in Judo at least.
Plus he probably knows some shady moves from his time in KGB.
You must understand that martial art training was a state monopoly in the soviet union.
So it's an old man with lots of training against a younger man who's not (to my knowledge) tained in hand to hand combat.
I'd rather see Ukraine win a conventional war.

Long story short, I got jumped by 6 guys and they kicked the shit out of me (fractured my face). Realized that even though I trained years ago I forgot how to fight and I'm looking to get back into it. I got a few options near me they are.

>Muay thai gym ran by a former pro fighter I looked up his fights on youtube
>Krav maga school ran by some krav maga guy can't find any videos of him having pro fights but in a lot of their videos they do sparring and scenario training

I'm conflicted between the two on one end, I got jumped by 6 years so not sure if the krav school is what I want or on the other side I want to actually learn to fight and train with fighters not just jerk my dick and pretend I can fight. What would you pick /xs/?

Shotgun, sawed-off, load with buckshot.
Alternatively, machine pistol.

Hell, I could take on a hundred knife-wielding men with a Ma-Deuce from 100 yards away.
Germans managed to kill thousands of *heavily armed* men with MG42s in a day.
Even a Maxim gun defeated hordes of spear-wielding Africans (they got some range!) with minimal casualties.
Yup.

If you are concerned about home defense, a claymore will work fine for larger groups.
Mounted repeating gun is good too.

Just done a quick google, never ever heard of this before so I think you'll have to redpill us. Looks like Lethwei meets Kyokushin as some places say they allow headbutts and some fighters went to Burma to fight. Looks and sounds cool, the CHAOS MADMAX tournament sounds like it should be as well known as the early Sabaki challenges but maybe the footage just isn't out there.

Seems to have been a who's who of full-contact karate styles (though not kudo, I notice). There seem to have been other CHAOS events, I wonder if MADMAX was just their main one

It sounds completely nuts, I wish there was more evidence of what it actually was, or what happened to it. I feel like karate really needs to bring back this kind of Just Bleed fanaticism

Well, after trying karate for about six months or so, I've decided it's not for me. I wanted to stick it out for a while to get a better idea than if I just went to one or two lessons, and frankly it didn't seem like a good place to go if you want to learn to actually defend yourself. Guess it's back to combat sports for me.

I pulled that image from /asp/ back in the day, had to dig through some old backup drives to find it. I mentioned /soc/ because some LARPs are just about social roleplaying with no or nearly no combat system and some of those really draw in the degenerates. "Martial arts" are charted as the activity with the least roleplay and the hardest fighting so I don't know what you're complaining about unless you can't read charts and are confused, which would make sense since you somehow thought the chart was from /soc/.

This might be dumb but so I was reading about slappies and people were talking shit of course, but someone referred to it as part of a set of tricks that had a name, this style has been getting more popular the last decade. Not newb tricks, or retard tricks, but it had a name. There's another move I've seen people doing apparently called a pelican, where you do a rock to fakie but intentionally step off the board with one foot. And that was also one of these retard tricks.

You think olympic level judoka are just letting the other guy throw them?
>>
>>211152
Anything that you learn in a competition-centric gym that's worth its salt is going to work in competition (i.e. with a skilled opponent resisting). There's a category of moves that work despite resistance (as opposed to moves in which you need a follow up), but the resistance causes pain. For example, there's a headlock escape whereby you roll them from on their hips to their stomach, but if they have their leg crunched up, it puts pressure on their hips because you're rolling them over that leg.

Judo has a lot of moves like that. There are moves that, if your hips are far back and you want to stay on your heels, they'll need to pull you and tighten their own rotation so that you slide over them and then they land their ribs on top of yours. It's not a pleasant way to train for anyone involved and it's frustrating for a newbie who doesn't have the wherewithal or technique to take a move to its logical conclusion and harm you in the process. In fact, philosophically, the process of judo, the gentle way, has a pillar regarding mutual benefit and welfare. This means that they shouldn't be throwing you like that, but you shouldn't be putting them in a position to have to throw you that way to practice the technique. The time and place for that kind of force is during competition. Until then you're trying to push each other to perfect the form so when it comes time to take the limiters off you know what you're doing when you put strength behind it. It's a faster, more efficient, more effective, way of training that promotes longevity.

Is it possible to just never get good at a sport?

I always wanted to drift. I used to rip the e brake in snow and dirt but I just suck at it. I bought a simulator setup and been using it for years and I never get better.

I can barely drift around one wet corner. I just don’t think I can get good at it i never know where the cars gonna go until I hit the throttle and I’m already sliding out of control.

on dirt/snow it's literally just gassing up to lose rear traction and counter steering to keep front traction. no idea how one can fuck it up.

it's not necessarily ego. just that when you're older and more experienced and have responsibilities and you heal from injuries a lot slower it's understandable to avoid pushing yourself "to the edge". that's not ego, that's just smart. kids are dumb. turns out doing dumb shit is pretty key to getting good at "extreme sports", an activity designed around putting yourself into unnecessary danger because modern life is so dull.

>>187150
Yeah. I pretty much top out at average at every single sport I’ve ever played. I’ve never been good. Maybe if I dedicated way more time/money to sport I could break that barrier, but I just don’t have the resources.

That said, I think anyone can at least reach average (by enthusiast standards) if they put in the necessary work. How fast and easy you get there (or beyond) is up to talent. This goes for any field. There are 10 year old chess prodigies that beat adult grand masters that have been playing their entire life. You can’t tell me that the 10 year old just put in more work - he just has raw talent.

I've been looking to replace it anyway
I'm looking to replace it with this:
https://www.evike.com/products/11844/
Is this any good? I picked a relatively high priced one that would go good with my cold war era outfit. (pasgt, m81 woodland etc)
This one's price seems good because I'm guessing that higher price = quality.
There is also the CYMA m16a3 which is lower price but also looks good
Not sure if I should get this one either.. they look identical its weird
