40+ anons. What martial arts do you train? When did you start? Do you train/lift outside of martial arts? I'm looking to get back into judo/boxing but i'm an old fat piece of shit right now. Any suggestions for training smart as an old guy?

If you're already dealing with training injuries I might suggest either pirating or buying a digital copy and doing a Ctrl+f search for recommendations around that specific injury (it doesn't have everything but it has some of the common ones). I used my digital copy as a reference before buying a physical copy to read outright. Pic related are some excerpts I was discussing with a friend who was struggling to bench with a recurring shoulder injury.

Very solid suggestion. It sounds like OP used to do judo so he should already know how to drill ukemi. Adding this to his daily routine could do a lot towards injury prevention.

>5x5 Stronglifts
lifting weights is not martial arts. MA is for fighting, the training helps with strength and conditioning. As you get older heavy weights are not your friend. Moderate to light lifting and cardio is best. The best cardio is some combo of fighting practice because the older you get the more likely you are to need it, its just statistics. If you need it its always unexpected - gas station, coming out of a store, getting into your car. Carry a knife and spray. Its always better to be prepared instead of being a victim.

muscles =/= athleticism
Some bloated powersharter that can bench 400lbs but can't scratch his own back and gets winded walking up a flight of stairs is not a formidable opponent for any intermediate martial artist (unless you're some 120lbs turbo manlet). Same goes for your average bodybuilder who in the grand scheme of things is probably not even that strong and poor overall athleticsim.
Now a guy that's explosive and fast, and legit has top 1% genetics (like a D1 football player or something) AND lifts weights, that's where things become problematic and where the real "strength vs skill" debate begins.
>>258532
When it comes to people that are untrained, it barely matters. Especially if that weight "advantage" is derived from a guy just being an out of shape fat ass.
Even at an amateur level it's not that big of a deal. I'm 180lbs and I regularly dunk on dudes 40 pounds heavier than me in sparring. I've even had a couple smokers in local shoddy competitions where there was a big weight difference (20lbs-30lbs pounds) because my opponents failed to make weight/the organization was crummy and they'd match you up with whomever and it was fine. You can see it in those YouTube fight orgs as well, like Streetbeefs, which have dubious match ups in terms of size, but smaller guys manage to come out on top frequently.
If anything "muh weight classes" is super overrated because most people are just hobbyists that will never reach a level where weight becomes the truly limiting factor

>Pretty much this. Virtually every single culture in existence has a documented tradition of wrestling, to a greater or lesser degree

And then I would simply defer to the oldest culture. So if Homo Sapiens originated in east Africa, then I would suggest maybe Nuba wrestling? But the thought occurred to me that perhaps there were martial arts before Homo Sapiens...

I don’t want to start a whole thread about it so I’ll post it here:

I think situational awareness is a meme created by self defense instructors who want to rake in cash and not risk legal consequences by teaching fighting which could get them sued if their fighting techniques don’t work.

it is VERY noisy. Dad used to do it, he had to wear earplugs and eventually sold the engine because of that. Using the wind and thermals as your engine is far better+ you dont become a fatass as you actually have to hike up the mountain to the takeoff. Also cheaper

I agree using the wind and thermals is better, but blocking the noise is not that difficult, use earplugs and over the ear style muffs and the sound is all but gone. However, this does nothing to help everyone with the misfortune of being near you.

>>256887
I know I am not infallible so I think very carefully when choosing when and where to fly. If you knew much about pg's you would agree that most acciidents are 100% avoidable (not all unfortunately). Motorbikes on the street are completely different, every motorist you encounter along the way has the potential to end your life in a second and in many cases there is nothing you could do about it.

The South African grand prix death video is very extreme. A track marshall gets hit by an f1 car at full speed through a straight. The impact sends the man spinning so violently his body rips itself apart. All that was left of him was an unrecognizable lump of gore. The only way the officials could determine who was hit was by taking a roll call.

Yeah I agree, I think skateboarding is a little less forgiving than say snowboarding or wakeskating or whatever given that you're falling on concrete but you can still do it...you just gotta work your way up to the cool stuff. That being said I broke my ankle skating at 30, had to get plates and screws put in, and haven't really got back into it since but it's more of a mental thing than anything else for me

How would you create a martial art that had as it's main purpose to be most effective against UNTRAINED people? Are there any techniques that are useless in a trained context but disproportionally effective when used against untrained people?
Kind of like how in chess there are openings that are principally not sound and easily rebuked by people who know how to play chess, but allow you to easily checkmate a complete beginner (like the scholar's mate).

Headbutts are the first thing that spring to mind when I hear "disproportionately effective". Basically takes no skill in terms of technique or execution but can have devastating effects.

If you are attacking/defending against untrained people on the street, use a gun or some other weapon for the best results. Martial arts are a sport first and foremost.
