Does bjj teach you anything useful?
>>220100bj is extremely usefulthe extra j is completely redundant
>>220100Bro, be smaller than people and decent grapple, you can beat the biggest guys around cause they all wanna shoot on the little guy and man handle him. 9/10 when I wrestle somebody bigger they end up shooting right into my arm, i lock them up and torque back after wrapping my legs and they can't lift anymore. Guillotine within 15 seconds no problem. Rear naked, kimora, or armbar typically hits after a miss with guillotine cause they have to drop into full guard. This is just backyard shit with the bros that train though. We didn't typically want to hurt each other. People never want to fight me, and I don't like to fight so it works out. I'm sure knowing that I can hit him or choke him to sleep gives my attitude something that others can identify. I can tell when somebody else isn't fucking around too. It helps with your reaction to the confrontation of violence which helps with the outcome majorly. If somebody starts choking a normie they are going to die lol. If somebody starts choking a bjj decently trained dude he's going to remain calm like another day on the mat and likely manuever out. It's just about being equipped to deal with the situation. A guy my size threatens me? It's very unintimidating because I know I can outskill somebody with 40+ pounds on me, 60 once. So this guy is going to get broken apart if he is completely untrained. It would be horrific. I would probably just gain control and try to talk him out of it. That's what it teaches you.
>>242961Royce Gracie retired 15-2-3. He is inarguably the best grappler that ever existed in the UFC. If he was around now with the array of training that exists he would easily be 20-0. I fucking hate Royce Gracie with a passion because he said he tries to hurt his opponents badly, but you can't talk shit about his skill level you stupid fuck.
>>244188>He is inarguably the best grappler that ever existed in the UFC>you can't talk shit about his skill level you stupid fuck.I did call him one of the best in my comments. Are you just illiterate? Were you unable to comprehend...>"Gracie, arguably one of the world's best BJJ practitioners with an 82% win rate at one point,">If he was around now with the array of training that exists he would easily be 20-0I respectfully disagree; he was a BJJ purist,st and the MMA people of today who incorporate Judo, Wrestling, and BJJ would beat that purist's ass.

All "martial artists" are pathetic, weak-minded people; they have to wear rainbow ribbons to motivate themselves in cosplay.A true martial artist primarily cultivates and masters his mind, and in his martial life, he will only wear a rope around his waist and eventually a black belt after long years of mental, physical, and martial training.

>>244148Jiri is an insane maniac. If you watch MMA and you dont like Jiri, the fuck is wrong with you? Absolute war between him and Khalil, cheers to both men Big Ank got steamrolled by Alex. Ank did very well the first fight and Poatan took that personally. An incredible performance from him. I think Poatan should fight Ulberg next. I feel for Sandhagen, he is a great fighter but not elite. Gave Merab a tough contest but ultimately Merab is in his prime and undeniable. Rest of the card was OK. Pyfer had a nice come from behind submission
I know the japanese tourism and animation industry have a lot to thank toriyama for, but something underrated is how much the martial arts industry has to thank him forfact is it wouldn't be nearly as popular of a hobby as it is if this show never existed since it's the thing that inspired so many kids to get involvedso ITT we will discuss all things related to our training and self improvement and helping each otherexercises, training routines, diets, motivation, etc.work hard, study well, and eat and sleep plenty

I did so good on my diet today but when I went out I had a lot of chips, disappointed in myself but it's okI'll write my daily failures down each time until I have nothing left to write

Do you regret not learning when you were still young
Was at a park with a bunch of kids taking lessons and adult skaters who could barely ride. We all had fun. Just have fun bros
>>240289is it too late to start at damn near 25? i think it would be cool, not even looking to do tricks or anything, i just want to get really damn proficient/fast at pushing and steering. i think it would be cool to roll instead of walk sometimes.i am just on the old side for this, and tall/heavy which is a really shit combo for balance. could i improve this? yes. it's just a question of whether or not doing so on a moving object is a good idea
>>243974just get a surfskate like the other ojisans https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z62zoGeYhPk&t=
>>243974My friend started about 30 or so with the same goal, he did surf tho. He got a mini cruiser and a couple years later can now pump around transition better than me.
>>243974Depends if you have the time and energy. Where are you going with it. Do you really love itIn all honesty if you're tall and heavy and don't know how to fall you're begging to fuck yourself up, twist ankle, break wrist etc. maybe even break both wrists lmfao

Did anyone archive Dosukoi episodes? I'm sick of NHK's "rotation" or whatever the fuck you'd call it.
How can I prepare for college wrestling? I did jiu jitsu for a bit in high school but I stopped grappling about a year ago when I got a job. My grandpa is an old school state cop who will basically disown me if I don't do good in my first competition.
>>241879The best way to get good at wrestling is to wrestle. You can train attributes, like strength, speed, flexibility, etc. which will help you, but any wrestler worth their salt will also be strong and fast and flexibile. A good starting point is to get an old heavybag or a sandbag close to the size/weight of a person. Practice picking up the bag from the ground up to your shoulders and then slam it back down. Once you get good, you can practice some throws or some variations of finishing takedowns. What style of wrestling? If it's not greco then get comfortable with being strong and stable at different levels. Really all of that is shite compared to just wrestling other people though
>>241879Learn how to condition yourself like Karl Gotch.
>>241879are you doing club?
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?

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.”

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

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'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.

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!
