There have been two fatal shootings in the last few years within a block of the skatepark.Every time some piece of shit truck or SUV on chrome wheels drives down with their bass blasting I'm ready to duck if needed.

>>197655You don't though. Karate masters condition their hands to the point they can punch hard objects full force
>>197685Judo didnt invent anything.. grappling existed during the dawn of time and breaking a limb or choking someone existed just as longThe point is, time is limited, and no one wants to study something for years, risk their health and then end up in a worse position when you could have just done wrestling or bjj and gotten better resultsIt's like if you do aikido for self defence instead of boxing
>>197741Judo doesn't take years to be effective.
>>197741It discovered the triangle choke, kneebar and co-discovered the heel hook while a japanese judoka was developing it with a student that is claimed to be a bjj practitioner from brazil. There was a book written in 1905 called jiujitsu vs wrestling where a prominent judoka and prominent wrestler at the time share moves, they say a lot of the pins are very much the same, but when the judoka showed the armbar the wrestler mocked it saying something like, “I cant see how someone would hold my arm down if I just curled it” not an exact quote but still. There were also knee reaps and other submissions the judoka showed that the wrestler had never seen before
>>197719Someone asked DonFrye if he would rather have taken bjj or judo and his answer was why would I take a watered down version of judo

>>197525Good plan - the most important thing to remember at that point's just to have fun, it's honestly just a fun game to play
>>197523Smersh. Mags + water, just the bare necessities, if I need anything else for longer games I got the buttpack.I'm currently building a modern western belt rig since I want to avoid using Russian gear. I wish I had someone in the EU that could ship me some gear, there's some stuff from Helikon and Direct Action I'd like to get, but a lot of the stores I'm seeing won't ship to the US.Does that carry enough ammo where you play? You must rely on your pistol a lot.
>>197660>Does that carry enough ammo where you play? You must rely on your pistol a lotThat chestrig fits four mid caps, and I have additional three in a pouch on my belt. I plan on moving pistol onto belt soon, I do not use it much except for when I enter from outdoor to indoor, and I can't use my AK due to limits.
>>197660Also that is quite neat webbing you've got desu, I think many people simply put too much stuff just for sake of doing it.
Just got this little fella, AW/WE V10. It seems WE are much better these days, but the blowback is so strong it feels like it's going to destroy itself in no time.

>>197568sounds like a weight weenie thing
>>197569Turns out it’s a whole thing of its own. “Civilian use” is pretty interesting:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depleted_uranium#Civilian_applications
>>197591Yeah no I don’t think “being able to penetrate tank armor” is a war crime or even unsavory enough to criticize, you obviously want to be able to defend against an armored tank, to do so you’re gonna need high tech bullets, it’s pretty straightforward. Must be some kind of manufacturing signaling or something, maybe he has a uranium mine near his city that’s messing up the job market or something like that or maybe he has objections to nuclear usage. The fact that uranium is mined is not harmful.
>>197568>>197591>>197637I guess I should explain my position seeing as I accidentally captured that in the photo. Depleted uranium is used on the tips of bullets and rounds due to the nature of the material being very dense, and therefore having excellent armour penetrating capabilities. Depleted uranium is about 30% as radioactive as uranium, and gives off alpha radiation. This is unable to penetrate skin, clothes, etc. However, if ingested, could cause serious health effects. I'll follow this up in a minute. When depleted uranium penetrates armour, part of the DU will burn off, creating a self-sharpening effect, with the burnt parts becoming an aerosol to be potentially inhaled by soldiers inside the tank, or left on and around the wreckage upon destruction. Also, upon firing a DU round, the exhaust gases of the gun will also cause this burn-off effect, exposing the gunner to a DU-infused cloud.Soldiers in the Balkans, the Gulf War, Iraq, and now Ukraine are exposed to depleted uranium munitions, as are civilians in these areas. DU leaves an environmental hazard, on tank wreckage as a dust, which is then usually handled by civilian/contractors cleaning up, or used as a makeshift climbing structure by children. Entire areas can be coated in this DU dust, with radiation peaking in areas of bullet strike (walls for example, etc). This dust is then inhaled by whoever happens to disturb it, and can result in cancers, and parents creating children with birth defects as two primary examples. One of the biggest cases for the dangers behind DU is Iraq. They have one of the highest rises in rates of leukaemia in children, and one of the highest rises in rates of birth defects, and this most prevalent in the city of... Fallujah. And guess what munitions were used there? The Wikipedia health concerns section of DU has so much more that is worth looking at, with examples from all of the world of the dangers of DU.
>>197743The part of this that I draw major issue with is that the US Government denies all responsibility for any health defects arising from DU. Just about every study I have seen claiming that DU has negligible impact on population or soldiers has been from a US funded, backed, or founded research centre, whereas nearly all independent studies have found DU to be a contributing factor to rises in cancer rates, birth defects, etc. again, Wikipedia is a good jumping off point for news articles of soldiers winning cases in court regarding this. I understand war happens, and that people will use almost any means necessary to win, but I don't think leaving civilians with a radioactive wasteland, and then affecting the civilians, future children of those civilians and soldiers to be part of a "fair" war. I just think it's bullshit that governments can use radioactive munitions, cause so much generational damage post-war, and not be held responsible for it. And so, depleted uranium is a war crime. Even though it's not. >Thanks for coming to my incoherent rambling ted talk
/archery/ Thread #2What's your style?What you shooting?What you hitting?Recs for bows?Why is the Timber Creek Mamba the best first horsebow?
New NU just dropped. Confirmed that he lurks and probably shits on anons here.
>>193136>probably shits on anons hereEntirely justified
There's been some drama recently with Sanlida using youtube content creators' content without permission. I don't understand how people didn't see it coming before, considering it's a chinese company, and they've never been known to grasp the concept of intellectual property.
got a 100lbs safari bow. anyone here bear hunt?
Anyone has experience with stabiliser setup for recurves? I'm looking to buy a set from Ramrods, and want to know if there's any general rule of thumb about rod lengths. I've read and heard the central rod should be your draw length + roughly 3 inches. But what about the side rods?
If I go to a boxing gym and I specifically tell my trainer I want to be good at the peekaboo style, how retarded will I look?
>>190166If he’s not a boomer he’ll probably have no idea what you’re even talking about
>>190166If you just get there and ask for that you will get look at like how my wife looks at me after I finish under 5s. If you wait some time and then make suggestions to your coach>should i do this?>coach i kinda like this, how can i do this but better?then you'll probably be fine.I specifically told my Muay Thai instructor long guard felt more comfortable and intuitive for me after a few classes and he just said "alright, let's work on it" but we never stopped working on other guards
>>190166The new meme now is soviet style
One of mikes former trainers/teammate had a gym in memphis who exclusively taught peek a boo style. Wish I had money back then. This was probably 7 or 8 years ago.
>>193329Redpill me on soviet style. It feels like the least brain-damaging style for the user. I also have long arms and legs for my height so I feel like it'll be good to adopt.
~~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.

just climb you spergs
>>196762There's no need to try to do everything equally well, just do what you enjoy.It's weird to me that slab and overhang use the same grading system, and are even considered the same kind of climbing. Slab bouldering is way more similar to slab sport climbing than overhang bouldering, for example.You don't have to bigwall climb to be a climber, and you don't have to slab boulder to be a boulderer.
>>197647does outdoor climbing attract better people? I just want to meet some chill normal people man. Not freaks with axe wounds on their crotch.>>197651>finding a rock climbing gym outside of a major metropolitan area.I've never seen a climbing gym in a rural area.
>>197652I've literally seen only a single rainbow hair ultra dyke ever and that was in Vienna in the most faggoty climbing gym imaginable.So we're still relatively save here

Maaaaan...muh back
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
>>197579No randori ever or no randori for complete beginners who don't know how to fall safely yet? >you need to spar to learn properly. Does this applies to grappling as well?Absolutely. This is a foundational premise of judo.
>>197579>>197588Either way it seems like a bad club. I did light randori my first day
>>197608No even the higher belts don’t do randori
>>197728Is there a colored-belts-only class where they might do randori or is it literally zero randori ever for anyone? The latter would be extremely bizarre. I'd ask the instructor about the lack of randori (and presumably shiai) just to make sure it's not some kind of misunderstanding because those are integral parts of the judo educational system and it would be very, very weird to teach judo without them.
>>197730Its a hobbyist class (hard to translate into English). They are mostly middle aged and it seems it’s more a social meeting with some Sport aspects. 1/3 of the training is playing soccer…I would love to learn judo… but not on this way. So back to kickboxing for me.
Lmao if I can deadlift 500lb I can just pick you up and slam you on the fucking ground, all you're little bjj and wrestling bullshit doesn't mean jack shit XD
Okay. Now go to an mma gym and try that theory out

>faster than you>stronger than you>content to just neo dodge every single attack as i rotate around you>randomly catch kick #38 as you get frustrated from chasing me>sweep your other leg>bow as you hit the canvasthis is why i am a bad sparring partner
I would just double leg and you and slam you on the mat and I wouldn't let you get up until you begged me too. I wouldn't even ground and pound or try to submit you I would just hold you there until you quit. take care of your sparring partners faggot
>>197018And then everyone in the gym would clap and the president would walk in to give you a medal of honor. Yeah that's exactly how it's going to happen you tell him.
>>194695>autistic sperg faggot who won't regulate himselfCongrats, everyone at your gym hates you. You're a try hard queer who is going nowhere.
>>194695You're so good. You should compete.
(Japanese Kickboxing)
>>197377>>197556>Tenshin the J-Kickboxer beat other J-Kickboxers>this means J-Kickboxing is flawed???
>>197377You have not witnessed the transformation of Toki Tamaru
>>197557A dutchman doing muay thai is not necessarily dutch style. Tenshin developed his own style early. He moves around a lot more than the rest.It's japanese style to relentlessly pressure forward
>>197691Tenshin also beat elite muay thai fighters, mma fighters, and boxers. Does that mean muay thai, MMA, and boxing all have fundamental flaws that he exploited?
Muay Thai better
>Wrestlebros... I...
>>197266It's popular
>>197442Just remember that nobody outside this board shares this idea.
>>197266BJJ nuthuggers think BJJ has no flaws when it has strengths and weaknesses like every other martial art.
>>197539Mostly weaknesses though
>>197068Muay Thai?!
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?
>>197181Stop running into punches and it happens >>197187It's entertaining AF>>197267I doubt Costa beats Sean. He has no redeeming fight qualities.
>>197130Hahaha fair point actually
>>197267>yan>washed Retards like you are the reason this sport's discourse has gone to shit. Also costa is an interesting match up for sean. Costa's bodywork will be an issue for sean defensively and he won't be deterred by sean's jabs. A loss to a someone who just went to war with whittaker isn't an indictment on sean.
