>>196198I typically scale my strength to match that of my practice partner, sometimes even less if the technical gap is big enough to warrant it, and rarely will I try to muscle my way through someone mogging me with technique in practice. It's a waste of access to live training partners if you just ragdoll them as if they were inanimate grappling dummies.>>196206>Also didn't know where I could "grab her". One of the things I like about grappling in the gi is not having to worry about this so much. >But I didn't apologize either as didn't want to make it more awkward. Just ignore it and carry on right?That's been my approach. I wish the classes were gender segregated but I understand why they're not. I had to wrestle a hot chick at a home meet in high school and it was awkward as hell for the half minute it took to win and walk off the mat, as well as for the anticipatory hour or so after weigh-ins leading up to the match.
>>196206Execute the most humiliating guard pass technique you can do on someone.The Mating Press into slam
>>196265this fucking shit right here is the problem. Giving instructions on the so called "double under guard pass"aka, just throw his fucking legs to the side
>>196266often feels like that to me when i'm too far awayideally you would want to close the distance and turn to look the direction you're throwing, i always emphasize this during my uchi-komismy favorite setup is osoto gari to sasae, you can get chest to chest, turn, block the leg and throw them over.shintano nakaro has some good pointers https://youtu.be/OaV3mMXLg2I

>>196191I dont get people that obsess about HEMA not having enough hos doing it.Like bitch shut the fuck up and fence who gives a fuck who does what focus on yourself.
>>195984If one of you posts me at SOM someday without asking I'll be pissed.
>>196276It's already publicly available on Youtube. Why get mad if someone reposts it on a Cornish dry stone wall building forum?
>>196285The principle, I guess. No good reason.
>>196276Tell us which one's you so we know who not to post.
when will this faggot fight again? I like his style and he definitely beat Sean, but when is he gonna defend that title against the Bugman?
>>196283I hope they figure out how to treat CTE in the future, it's practically guaranteed that any fighter will get it so the sooner they figure it out the better
>>196284I'm not sure there's anything to figure out. Aside from scifi tier stem cell regeneration pods it's just the result of accumulated damagephysical trauma kind of just is what it is
>>196286If damage can occur then there must be a way to fix it. It will take a lot of money for research and time but some method must eventually surface to fix it.
>>196289Just look at the way your body heals from things though, if something gets injured it just throes inflammation at the problem to recruit as much material as it can to patch it up like an old tireIf you ever break a bone it will reconnect but the signs of the injury will always be thereAll the scars on your skin you get throughout your lifeAnd the brain is an even more complex organ than any of that
>>196280Thinken of knockouts...
Just finished rereading Teppu and All-Rounder Meguru after remembering a storytime on /a/ 2(?) years ago where some Brazilian dude got me into martial arts. If you browse this board, thank you you bastard, soon I'll be participating in my first competition.Anyway, I'm looking for more stuff like this, I already read Ippo btw. Also, movies and other media are also cool
>>196071Agreed, but it's hard to make grappling visually appealing several times in a row. The fights usually boil down to : "We are at a stalemate, however, I still have [insert secret technique here] and thus, I will win.".

>>195044actually I just realised I'm on 83a not 92a with this frame. softer than that seems like it'd be useless for any other surface. guess I'll still to my local park...
>>193670Get on fb and see if you can find a local group, I did the same ended up finding some quad skaters that skate park. Ones pretty close to my skill level, brings back the energetic feels and gets me keen push myself instead of just mindlessly rolling around missing my skating buddy
what's the best european city for skating, besides barcelona and athens. looking to go on a weekend with my skates somewhere.
>>184655this anon here, after being told I'm obese and then still struggling to get the skates on over the next few months, I gave up on themI decided to try again today because it's getting warm again and I'm itching for something to do outsidewhile trying them on I realized that, while not obese, I am a fucking retard and I was supposed to push this thing in to unhinge the strap so it actually closesI'm disheartened to learn of my mental handicap, but I'm looking forward to actually trying to rollerblade

I chose the way of the snorlax this winter it was a bad move
I'm an e-bike rider AMAI ride 3+ times a week if the weather is permitting (with an e-bike you can ride to the trails and not have to drive)I like technical trails
>>196251do you also ride a normal bike? I'm about 50/50 time wise, the contrast in the assist and weight makes it fun to switch back and forth. I didn't really like having just the eb to ride for a month while I was building my current bike, climbing ability took a hit and the motor started to lose its charm
>>196251Do ylu carry a towing rope? Do you tow others?
>>196251Do you not like climbing/peddling or is it mostly a efficiency per run thing?Does it plough better through rough stuff like I heard?Most increased wear part? chain, tire, etc?I ride my dh bike to trails but I am probably insane. It also required a stupid long seatpost.
~~Crack 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).Here are some useful resources for sizing:>https://sizesquirrel.com/>https://rockrun.com/blogs/the-flash-rock-run-blog/rock-climbing-shoe-sizing-guideComment too long.

Does anyone else compete, or want to compete? I train at the dojo three times a week, but my Shihan says to get truly in fighting shape, I need to train much more often, I already do weights and bodyweight exercises at lunch time in my work gym, but he says I need to find some more time on the heavy bag, even if it means training until late at night. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJCjyYB2I9cI was at this tournament last year, but in a different category, here are some highlights.>>195032It depends on the ruleset, the problem is with the timelimit, the size of tournaments, and the nature of tournaments themselves. People like Valeri win tournaments because they favour very economical movements that minimise effort, are extremely efficient, and highly effective. Valeri is boring as hell to watch but he's a scientist of Kyokushin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2aeVb_J2Wsthis fight is probably the most fluid kyokushin fight I can think of, but there are others. The last IKO tournament had some more springy fighters, but with the big tournaments very few early fights will go beyond the first round, so you have to get in there and go as hard and as fast as you can so the judges choose you. Perhaps one day there should be a more drawn out kyokushin tournament, no round limits, over a few days instead of just two.
>>195401Based Jap man
>>195454Kyokushin did that in the 1970s when Oyama opened up a Kickboxing gym that Terutomo Yamazaki (1st winner of the All Japan Kyokushin championship). When K-1 debuted, it was already built on Ishii's Seidokaikan challenge matches against other styles. He envisioned K-1 as a promotion to bridge all the fighting disciplines (regardless of whatever organization they were champions in) to compete under rules that they could successively utilize their techniques. Early K-1 allowed more knees to the clinch/neck-wrestling so long as it was continuous attack and not jockeying around for several seconds to gain decisive leverage and angles like Muay Thai does. This got dropped later on.
>>195454There's still hundreds of Japanese kickboxers who come from kyokushin karate backgrounds even today.

If I have to watch one more snow motion mobbed kickflip filmed fisheye on a 20° bank by a sponsored female skater while my formally favourite pros celebrate like she backside flipped el toro I will scream.
>>196267If Fallen ever makes their Tremont in the black vinyl mesh style high top again I'm buying 3-4 pair, those were great for me and had everything I want in a shoe.The Emerica Winkowsky also looks like it'd work well for me.
>>196253Zoomies don't know about Gallaz
>>196272Damn, it's worse than I thought - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mum8WeTaUmE
the idea that bitches were gatekept from skating is so fucking retarded it can only come from someone under 25. there was always a full gaggle of ramptramps and ledgewarmers at every skatepark as far back as i can remember. no one was stopping them from skating, they were already spending all day at the skatepark and they just didn't do it. there were a handful skater girls too but they were a different breed entirely >>196261i really liked the high-mid thing supra had going on. you got the ankle protection and support of a high top but without having to rambo tie it.
If 100 random men and 100 random women were chosen to fight in mixed sex mma with legal groin shots, how many women would win?
guys did you know that the biggest housecat is larger than the smallest dog?really makes you think
>>186752Possibly 1 woman out of the 100, I would give that like a 2% chance or lower compared to 98+% chance of all 100 men winning.
>>186752They would wear a cup so not that many
Statistically speaking I would expect 5-10 women to win as I believe that is the overlap in the strength bell curves. If they're paired by weight class then I'd expect 0 or 1
>>186752You are aware that women can be kicked in the crotch as well and it hurts similarly badly, right anon? Or is this just another retarded inter-sex combat thread that you faggots are obsessed with for some reason? Surely not.
soaping bros, we're home
>>90891teenage mentality. Also skate culture is lame and image driven.
>>188877who cares. slow boards are 100% better than fast boards.
>>33332damn imagine that you combined this with a really big umbrella so you could slowly float down, maybe got a drone that always pulled you upwards slightly so it was like low-gravity pogoing.

I kind of want to buy a pair of theseI tried to get into rollerblading but I bought a pair that was somehow way too small and I don't wanna risk it on another pair
>spend 30-40% of time on practicing takedowns and 60-70% on practicing ground game intead of 10% on takedowns and 90% on ground game>start sparring on foot rather than on knees>give -2 points for guard pulling in competitions>Legalize slams for brown and black belts. And if you're scared to do it, instead ban jumping guard.>legalize heel hooks for brown and black belts in gi, just like you did in no gi
>>193683Practically all grappling styles are honest; you can't bullshit your way out of drills and practice. You can't learn to do proper leverage, technique, set-ups without being thrown and how to roll on the ground against a partner whose doing their damndedst to do the same to you. The only thing I dislike about certain elements within BJJ is the pit boys; thugs who use their skills and attack in packs over machoism. BJJ actually had a VERY bad reputation because of fights like this at clubs; judo was seen as classier and held in higher regard. I do respect how BJJ constantly pressure-tested itself in challenge matches and Vale Tudo, but on the other hand, that kind of dojo-storming gives martial arts a really bad rep. I hate McDojos and black belt factories with a passion, but that kind of behavior doesn't fly outside of Brazil. Even the Gracie brothers were guilty of this when they ambushed and ganged up on Rufino Dos Santos. Or ghow Gracie propaganda videos try to always market "GRACIE JIU-JITSU OWNING JUDO, WRESTLING, SAMBO!" when most of those instances are invites to compete or train together.
>>193698You remind me of that 1 time when Robin Gracie got challenged in a seminar by Damien Riccio. It's alright when the Gracies dish it, but they can't take it. I still have a lot of respect for all the pioneers and innovators of BJJ (which include Japanese that Gracie propaganda doesn't want to acknowledge like Geo Omori, Takeo Yano, the Ono brothers, etc.), but Gracie challenge matches kinda ruin their brand. I mean, it's a great marketing tool but do that in civilized nations with actual court structure and lawsuits, it's a seriously bad idea.
>>188306>spend 30-40% of time on practicing takedowns and 60-70% on practicing ground game intead of 10% on takedowns and 90% on ground game>start sparring on foot rather than on kneesthat's what we do in our school>give -2 points for guard pulling in competitionsagreed>Legalize slams for brown and black belts. disagree>And if you're scared to do it, instead ban jumping guard.-6 points deduction>legalize heel hooks for brown and black belts in gidisagree, people need to understand that at this point no gi is a different sport altogether t. no gi only leglocker
>>196228That's fine, but your position basically is let gi continue to be a fucking joke so it goes away like it deserves to
>>196243The lack of heel hooks is not the problem
