Started training my hands referencing Wolff's law, currently using a single piece of cardboard covering cinder blocks. Averaging about 200 strikes (chain, straight, body punches) a day. I also use a grip resistance palm clench about the same amount of reps. Any other ideas how to strengthen the knuckles and joints? Curious about adding more calcium rich foods into my diet as well.
>>244584try press-ups where you point the fingers towards each other in the middle, and flip the hands over between each rep.palms on the floor, middle finger tips not too far apart, lower your chest to your hands, then press up and use the momentum to lift your hands off the floor. flip the hands over so you land on the backs of your hands instead, and repeat, alternating. makes your wrists sturdy.i'm not that gym-strong but my gym bro friends mire this cause they can't do it. they also mire being able to pull up on a doorframe. they can do way more pullups than i can on a bar, but can't do one when they need to grip with just the fingertips. try that too.
What is the best martial art if you are normal sized (5'11/6 foot) but physically weak (110 pounds)? Those are my stats.Eskrima sounds nice but you can't carry sticks or knives around with you like an fighting game character.
>>239977Anything point based like Taekwondo, or technical grappling like Judo and BJJ
>>239977Krav Maga
>>239977>t. 110 5’7 manletIf you’re 110 at 6 feet, you are extremely underweight and undermuscular for your size. Both of these put you at serious injury risk, I wouldn’t do a combat sport till you get that handled and get to a normal BMI. Even as a shortie who doesn’t need much more massI found bjj and wrestling extremely hard on my shoulder and knee joints, and a major cause of this was fat and muscle are the padding protecting both once someone with wrestler forehead wants to give either a 180 degree rotation.You can ignore this advice, but if you do, go buy your leg sleeves now, because you’re gonna be wearing them for a half year within 3 months.
>>239977Wrestling
>>239977If you're thinking of carry weapons and you obly weigh 110lbs dont be suprised when my 5'7 186lbs ass puts you in hospital and get charged with causing GBH... maybe actually eat sime fucking food and justclearn to fight if you want to fight. I cant understand people like you and i thi k you'd have a vetter prospective after 16 years of kickboxing gyms and 6 of BJJ.. you're going to pull a stick out on the wrong person one day and thats worse than just shoving them because they're going to think you're trying to kill someone so they're going to over react and go overboard on your ass and you're going to be holding the shitty end of that stick my boy..

Are there any forests on this earth where a human can climb and swing from trees like a monkey?
>>240641he's a retarded spaniard
>>239789I used to do that when I was little, we swang from Eucaliptus trees hair-like branches down a steep rope. Shit was crazy, but they'd probably snap if you weigh more than 40kgs. We also used to climb a very tall tree (four story building in height) which was a pine tree I guess but not one of those straight-withouth-branchesinb4>eurofag
>>239789>Are there any forests on this earth where a human can climb and swing from trees like a monkey?Your mom's bush.
>>241042I would use branches
>>239789It's not about the forest, it's about the human anatomy.
I've Been Playing For 25 Years But I Stopped Enjoying It 15 Years Ago Edition.Old thread: >>142716We're coming back any day now, boys.
>>220387does anyone have a line on 90s paintball anodizing jobs? they were 90s wacky and wild and i want to get my AR to look like a custom job from 97.
>>243653stock class and pump on the airball field is infinitely more fun than using semi and electros. i put on pump airball days with 8-14 guys showing up typically. we do saturdays since sundays is more popular with the speedball guys. im always able to convince the 3-4 dudes with electros who DO show up to give pump a try. they always love it, and everyone appreciates the faster paced, short games. with pumps, you are able to pull off way crazier moves and no one is staying put and hiding behind bps. even when the pace and action are ramped up, you will NeVER catch a pump guy cheating/wiping.
>>245310PK selective did those. And they do/did AR parts too. ARC annodizing is one of their old guys iirc.
>>245414thats my shit right there.
>>245512yea that era of paintball was the peak. mags and cockers, actual athleticism and big paint. i had a shit ton of folks outraged when i suggested a "Classic Mech League" with no space mechs allowed. -revvys only-single trigger -mags and cockers only-no r/t, no hair trigger, limit lbs/trigger pullthe emek and mech trigger kit electro guys were very butthurt that i would come up with a mech game they weren't allowed to hide behind bps with. "you should allow emeks at least" "these rulesmake no sense, theres no difference between modern mechs and the older stuff" "no one will show up to a game like that, its unsponsorable" definitely gave me more incentive to try and actually put something together.
The deadly strike against the carotid.
>>241972If you get a black belt does that make you the Kung Fuhrer
>>241975It will drop you if you have never had it happen before. It's not somewhere you expect to get hit. It would be like if somebody hooks your armpit. You are not tensed there ready to receive a blow.
>>243449https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUylc_E3Vgk
>>241980The idea back then i think, at least on the allied side. Was to teach some basic and easy to learn strikes that would quickly disable your opponent. William E. Fairbairn developed his own fighting style called "Defendu" or "gutter fighting" based of his experience in Shanghai. He taught this to OSS operatives.
>>241980most of this was theoretical. u can take a much harder object and do permanent damage but a edge of hand strike to the nose will never be fatal unless you shoot them in the head afterwards.
i've been doing boxing for some years but recently got a shoulder injury that will take many months to recover. Unfortunately i cannot do sparring and other heavy training and can only do light exercises and practice combinations that are not too taxing on the shoulders. What types of training can i do to keep up in the meantime so i do not lose progress or at least have something where i can improve?. I was thinking on focusing on footwork, coordination drills and light shadowboxing for technique but i can't seem to incorporate them well enough.
What do you mean that you can't incorporate them well enough?I'll probably get hate for this but Tai Chi might be a really good option. It's basically footwork, coordination, and shadowboxing but the whole point is to develop relaxed strength; coordination is a huge part of that. As long as you find a good teacher who isn't super woo woo I think it will be really good.But that also depends on the nature of your injury...
>>235806Basically i dislocated my shoulder many years ago during weight training. After that it was extremely sensible to overhand movement(sports like swimming, volleyball, etc are a no go) and would dislocate stremely easily. Iwas told just recently that it should not be strained since it could do long term damageto the shoulder. What i do in the meantime are foodwork drills, coordination and light technique with partners, but i can feel my stamina and strenght slowly declining over time.
>>235195He squatted on BWC

>>232082take advice from ur PT on what ROM shit u can do as u recover. beyond that, image training, footwork, cardio, build the fuck out of your free arm's arsenal.
I used to do boxing in high school (3 years). I'm now 36. Thinking of starting karate. Which type is good?Should I do shotakon karate? Or I have an ashihabara karate school right next to my house, it seems the best for me.(I already did TKD (Taekwondo not Total Kike Death) and Muay Thai and I didn't like it much but ashihabara karate seems cool and more useful from videos)Before I start, I wanted to get a bit more /fit/, so I lost a lot of weight, got down to 77 kg from 88, I'm 187 cm. Still no visible abs but I think I should be good to go
>>237608honestly at this age look into muay thai, bjj, or MMAthe target demographic is more skewed towards adults and you get into the action faster
>>237608couldn't that fetish OF harlot at least get an ACTUAL gi and not a bath towel?
>>237608>shotaconFucking little boys don't make you strong. Joke aside do kyokyushin or something that looks like kyokyushin.
>>237608>shotakon karatewhere is the lolikon judo school?
>>237608the focus on forms n weird shit for belt rank progression will be not too different from the tkd bs u had to do. not sure why u want to do that if u already box and theoretically understand how to train to fight and be fit. go find a kickboxing/muay thay school that has a big emphasis on competition.

What's the lowest bar to entry combat sport I can hop in and spar as a complete beginner? I want to have a taste for it without having to go through months of work.

>>227258>A competent coach would probably strongly discourage thatThere isnt a competent coach that doesnt encourage hands on experience. As long as youre being safe every martial art should allow sparring on the first lesson.
BJJ let's you spar on day 1.
>>226966If you don't seem to squirrely, most places will let you or encourage you to spar and roll asap, as long as u are wearing whatever gear they require (groin cup, mouthguard, shin guards, wraps, 16 oz gloves, etc)

>>244036If they haven't managed to take out all the slack, you can twist to the side and roll out of it (ideally, grab their left ankle with your left hand and pull till you "spin" enough to take the pressure off.)You're still going to land in a trash position, but it's at least an attempt at survival.

I have shekels to burn and have no other hobbytell me why I shouldn't do paramotoring
iv done both, got into paragliding to get good skills for paramotoring, with paramotoring i got annoyed with the amount messing you have with gear, your engine needs servicing all the time, i bought my one new and the throttle stuck on one of my take offs about 4 weeks in, so killed the engine landed and from that day it just seemed endless money pit with seals goin, bolts coming loose... this was new after all a touch of lock tight costs nothing. As for the paragliding thats epic, when you catch your first thermal you will be hooked, flying with birds never gets old and the view with out the ridiculous noise is always sweet
In the video he was flying at full speed trim out, altitude is your friend when flying, if something goes wrong low you won't have time for any input apart from shitting yourself., so looks like his right side had a small tuck, but at full bar the wing wouldn't recover, you can get some really good en-a wings and low en-b wings (they will recover themselves if you just go hands up and power off) but this guy was fill throttle.
>>235271>>235287Yeah playing with your phone that low is just stupid, IF he had his hands on the controls he MAY have saved it.

European riders are arguably the more skilled of the two, riding on gnarlier tracks and outdoors only. Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-BleZkNdEU&t=1527sYet, European pros themselves still watch AMA more growing up. We do nothing to make it more presentable. The tracks are diarrhea with some plastic poles to mark where to go.Why are we like this?
>European riders are arguably the more skilled of the twoNo. Your defending champion Jorge Prado came to the US and is getting 5-8.>European pros themselves still watch AMA more growing upBecause euroop is culturally irrelevant.>We do nothing to make it more presentableI agree most MXGP tracks are ugly and forgettable.>Why are we like this?Genetics.
