What percentage of adults would die after one uprotected punch from prime Foreman?

Here's a better question: Who'd win a striking only fight, prime Bas Rutten or prime Foreman?

Do they know they’re fighting him? Or is it a sucker punch. Like
>>215272
this anon pointed out, if we factor in all people, like children, the disabled, cancer patients, women, geriatrics, smaller men and big men who haven’t lost their flinch response, then even in a fight, with braced victims and attempts at defence Foreman would be punching a solid percentage to death with his first clean punch. It’s hard to put a figure on it exactly, but 40% sounds about right.

If it’s a fight, perhaps it’ll be controversial, I’d say most amatuer fighters of reasonable fighting age (late teens to late thirties), in his weight class would be safe from imminent death.

A huge percentage, like maybe even 50% of them would be from that punch. Some of them would suffer structural damage, like a broken jaw, and reconsider if fighting is for them. That’s if it’s only one punch, if he follows it up with one or two more, only other professional heavyweights stay conscious, and not even all of them.

If he’s sucker punching people? Drunk men with no formal training frequently kill people with king hits, especially rabbit punches. The thing that would save all those 200lb or more athletes from dying in the ring with him is they wouldn’t have concrete to bounce their heads off. You engineer the ideal situation, like, for some reason Foreman has decided to go polar bear hunting? It’d be terrifying. I think he’d have at minimum a 10% fatality rate. Maybe as high as 33% And that’d still be against big, fit young men. Pensioners? 100%. Doesn’t sound too impressive, but, no matter how tough any of us here think we are, if we were given free reign to test our punches against the unsuspecting retirees of the world, we’d fuck up plenty of times, and need two or three blows to put some of them down. Not Foreman, that’s for sure.

The pike is meant to be used in formation in a field battle, it's way too unwieldy for 1 on 1 combat. Regular polearms/zweihanders, even longswords, sabers, etc. beat a pike 1 on 1.
>>
Apart from above mentioned kali/escrima I've never heard of any organized system of knife fighting
I think if you, OP, for some reason absolutely needed to become very good at knife fighting, I would study those and ideally get some buddies together and just start having "knife fights" with some sort of training tool. Try it a lot, experiment, see what gets you stabbed and what doesn't

>FAQ on buying a bike that nobody reads anyway:
> What good bike can I get for under $500?
a stolen bike. Possibly a newer used entry level hardtail but don't expect it to survive rock gardens, jumps, or drops. Or an older mtb which won't be as good as newer ones and will still have a front derailleur, but it'll be good enough.
> What good bike can I get for under $1000
Good used hardtail, new entry level hardtail
> What good bike can I get for under $2000?
New Hardtail, decent used full suspension

>Proframe is a pedaling-type full face helmet, I’m not surprised it doesn’t play nicely with neckbraces
That explains why my IXS Trigger FF doesn't play well with my POC VPD torso protector. the back protector and helmet kept hitting but according to what I learned from the MTB class, hinging is improper form so that probably won't happen next time I ride with that setup

Also, I already booked my stay at Mammoth Mountain next year. I'll be there 8/15-8/19. If you guys want to do a park day, it would be sick to ride with you fellas. Unfortunately, the damn ass corporation I work for only gives me 3 weeks +1 week vacation buy. I need more vacation time man, I only work so I can afford to ride

You'd race more if you moved out of bay area and move to the mountains. You'd get rid of the small travel bikes and gravel for a single do it all 180mm ndoro sled(+ dh bike). You work so you can consoom bike stuff, which is justifiable.

I think I'd ride less if I moved out of the bay. The sierras get covered in snow in the winter and the riding turns to skiing, which is cool with me, but I'd rather ride year round.
For example, trails were fucked this weekend so I just went road cycling.

Beginners require beginner classes, if the place doesn't offer beginner classes it's a bad place
They aren't taking the business seriously either through laziness that they don't want to God forbid work an extra 45 minutes once or twice a week or worse yet are egotripping and want to he tuffgais happy a lot of people can't make the cut
They mistake the survivor bias of them being terrible at explaining things and equate it to the difficulty of the task, celebrating that most people can't handle "the real deal"

Got this Element skateboard as it’s the same one I use in the THPS Remake and immediately bailed out and fell backwards but I ain’t giving up
>Practice makes perfect
How do I get better at balancing and learning to fall backwards
I probably would have died or got heavily injured if I didn’t wear that helmet or ended up becoming a bigger tard than I already am
I was laughing my ass off when I fell though
What’s your advice on a beginner skater like me

Find somewhere to skate around In a circle. Ideally flat smooth ground

It's a young man's game most pros start off skating since the age of like 6 and then get insanely good by 21 know how to fall etc

Good luck
>>
>>215541
There is no shortcut, time on the board is all that counts, find a basketball or tennis court and just push around for a few days, figure out what stance works best for you (have your non kicking foot at the front of the board) figure out how to stop, first by just putting a foot down, then figure out how to stop by putting the tail on the ground, once you can do that learn tic tacs, then kick turns front and backside, then manuals (wheelies). then find an incline and roll up and back to fakie. then roll up the incline and kick turn, by then you should be able to balance on the board well enough to start thinking about ollies, oh and learn to run out instead of letting the board shoot you onto your ass/face, once you are at that point you can go to a skate park only look mildly retarded, also if you are serious about skating you will destroy the bearings in that element complete.

>fell backwards
the balance with skating is almost constantly leaning further forward than you'd think. not like bending at the waist but putting much more weight on the forward foot.

newsflash faggot you had 2 decades to learn to skate and now you're doing it at an age that is gonna raise eyebrows at the skatepark.
Go do something more socially acceptable for your age
like bjj or boxing or someshit. You're just gonna look like a pedophile for being the weird guy that started doing a teenager hobby at 30

A thread to discuss Japanese weapon based martial arts and our own martial journey with like minded people, discussion of other Asian systems is welcomed too.

At least for the hayasuburi, try to move from kamae to kamae, the guy's just doing flower girl hopping from one foot to another which causes his body not to move. If you look, the head is standing still. Try to move from the hips with the whole body, it's better to sacrifice a few fractions of a second off your speed to do this properly.
>>
>>215918
If I understand correctly, the force must come from the thrust you do with the left foot, but also, this force must come from the left side of the hip and then, finally from the left arm. Is this correct? You project the summation of all those muscles in the stroke.
>>
>>216012
Since it's without tobikomi, the swing should stop when you pull the back foot into kamae after moving. Activating the hips initially to move the whole torso, not just the lower body which leads to the shown-in-the-video pendulum-like movement where the head stays still while the legs move back and forth. As long as you actually displace yourself back and forth, you're doing good.

Hey guys,

Started doing judo a couple of months ago, I know the throws from doing traditional ju jitsu but I'm struggling with the timing and kuzushi. How do I practice that? In particular kuzushi. Thanks
19 replies and 1 image omitted. Click here to view.
>>
>>196316
Everyone will struggle with timing in the beginning. They're trying to figure out the right situation for a throw they've only drilled
Eventually things move to the grip fight and flowcharts. You need certain grips and feints to execute certain sequences and techniques
In time, kuzushi becomes active. You move and interrupt the opponent, striking when they stop, resist or stumble

>>197579
It depends on what you want out of it. Despite what 4chan would have you believe about judo, it's not just this giga self-defense art. I think it's overhyped by the uninformed, in fact. More often than not it's a sport to do Olympic-style competition. But more than just a combat sport, it can also be practiced such that accuracy to the kata with an uke is what is judged. I personally like to do competition in service of understanding the moves better so I can be like a lore-keeper. I want a story from personal experience, competition-based, professional grappling, or MMA for each move. That's what makes me happy.

If you're a beginner and you mean to spar, it is entirely reasonable to wait a month or two before you start getting thrown. You should make that intention known so they can tell you if you're barking up the wrong tree or if you just need to wait.
>>
>>196316
Just practicing, and always being mindful of positioning, especially during training/drills, underestimating form is the biggest factor in both jj and judo, just don't, take your time, but do it right, the most proper form you can, then you'll start doing it faster, your form will get crappy, you improve your form, get faster, form gets crappy, improve your form, repeat.
>>
>>209133
I've seen a lot of guys use their belts for uchikomi so I'd guess the resistance of the band should err on the side of too strong rather than too weak

>I think it's overhyped by the uninformed
The uninformed put it on the same level as strip mall karate and your average casual tapout dudebro mma/bjj guy thinks it's total bullshit. The idea that judo is "giga self-defense art" is limited strictly to this board.

Just skate and have fun. You're never too old or fat to skate. Skateboarding is 90% mind 10% body.

Skatepark etiquette: Remember everyone there shares a common interest with you.
