I'm short sighted and i do kickboxing, it's not a problem, the distance where you throw punches is close enough, yeah you might be at a small disadvantage but it's not like you're aiming for world championship. If you're really worried do grappling instead.

>>250634
my vision kinda sucks, the honest answer is that it depends. You're not going to need super hawk vision for anything, you're not looking for them to clench their first in a magic death punch or nothing. If you can see their body and the general twist of their hands, that's gonna be sufficient.

You can adapt with training.

Naoya Inoue sustained a cut during a boxing match against Donaire, which impeded his vision. He compensated by gluing his right hand over his compromised eye, which he learned from watching Donaire himself when it happened to him in a previous fight. webm related


Prior to getting eye surgery, former interim UFC champion Justin Gaethje was almost legally blind.

>20/60 in one eye and 20/200 in another eye
>far sighted in one eye and nearsighted in another eye

His fighting style at the time reflected this. He used a forward-pressure style with a high guard and relied on taking hits on his forearms and wrestling with his hands to know whether they were close enough to hit.

~~Hangboarding Edition~~

>Where do I start?
People typically start in the gym and branch off outdoors and find their niche, be it bouldering, trad, sport or a mixture of the above. Some never leave the gym at all. Ultimately it doesn't matter - just get started and enjoy yourself.

>How fit do I have to be to start? Do I have to be able to do x amount of pull-ups?
Being light, strong and flexible helps at the higher levels but climbing is open to almost anyone and is fairly intuitive to most. Even if your body is feeble and weak now, you will develop strength over time by virtue of just climbing. Climbing is a holistic sport and success often hinges upon many factors, not just strength and power, but having these qualities definitely helps when you breach into the higher grades.

>What shoes do I buy?
If you're starting out in the gym, don't worry too much: get some snug shoes without dead space that don't cause you lasting pain. Some people (such as the famed shoe designer Heinz Mariacher) recommend wearing soft shoes when you're starting out -- this makes sense since your footwork will probably suck and the increased feedback will pay dividends over time. You really don't need fancy expensive shoes when you're starting out, but certain shoe properties help send harder problems (e.g. stiff shoes for standing on tiny granite edges or soft shoes for sandstone/gritstone smears).

as an amateur, i like heavy sparring because i find it fun. As long as you make a rule of not trying to kill your partner (as in, be careful with head-hits), both parties can enjoy it.

I dislike light sparring as it gives amateurs false confidence in their abilities, and people can take advantage of that you'll be slower by spamming range like side-kicks.

I think in the military they just shoot people and if that doesn't work they stab them

what martial art should i do after taekwondo? i'm currently abt to be a black belt in ITF taekwondo and i noticed that it kinda sucks due to the lack of handwork.

ive been thinking of exploring either judo (since im pretty big) or eskrima (for grappling techniques and knifeplay). in general im looking for a style that is more hands-focused to go with the footwork of taekwondo
>>
>>247891
Kickboxing.
Look, I might have a retarded vision of things here, but I see Taekwondo and Aikido as very similar martial arts. Laughed upon, misunderstood, with too many mcdojos and clowns. In short, ineffective. But what I also noticed when doing kickboxing is that taekwondo guys have a style that's powerful and unconventional. They have to adapt to some KB stuff, but some go into fights with a taekwondo style, almost like fencing with their leg, and it works. Kind of like this girl, but less obvious https://www.youtube.com/shorts/2ShTujCVJzc
So I think that Taekwondo is like a DLC for Kickboxing.
I mentioned Aikido because I think it's like a DLC for Judo and BJJ, but that's a whole other can of worms

boxing or any grappling martial art. boxing because taekwondo, no matter the type, has shitty punching technique and defense (check https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pn98RdwPw48 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nz-kU1X0Q2I, which are boxers beating taekwondoins from the ITF). grappling martial arts because you only know striking and MAYBE some takedowns (if your school actually teached you them), since you said you're big then any will do, though judo would be my main recommendation

those that aim to redirect the oponent's energy, like aikido, hapkido, daito ryu, taijutsu, etc. i'm kinda interested in them, especially taijutsu and hapkido, but dunno what i should expect exactly (in order to not fall into a mcdojo), so if anyone has experience in them please share, as well as your thoughts on them

Actually that's real and not from one of Seagal movies. It's hard to tell because he's always pure kino.
>>
>>246396
I don't think the idea of taijutsu is just redirection. It's more like fucking around until the oponent has no tension, then exploiting that.
>>
>>246396
If you want to learn the art go for it but don't expect to be able to use the techniques they way they teach you because they teach it wrong for fighting, do it for the love of the game.
That said the core principle of redirecting energy is legit and legit overpowered if you do it right.
The most important thing to learn is the twitch from daito ryu, i call it like that idk if it has an actual name but what they do is that they do a tiny push or pull to get you to resists in the opposite motion and then do the technique opposite to your reaction, for example they first bump you back so you resists forward and then pull you as you resists, its a tiny motion, almost imperceptible but 100% legit and you can use this concept in more legit martial arts like mma, wrestling and judo.

Aikido does basically the same thing but in a circular motion, all you need from aikido is to instead of resisting head on, to simply move to the side and rotate to push or pull the opponent into you.

Hapkido is literally just aikido but fast and explosive and teaches how to use the techniques against karate style striking which is slightly better than aikido.

If you must I would recommend hapkido because they are legit athletic as fuck, you learn basically everything aikido and daito ryu do and then you can do something more legit focusing on the concepts of energy redirection, not the techniques they teach you, only the concept.
