So I've been trying to get the balls to attend a gym that does freestyle and Greco wrestling. It took a lot to go to it as I know it's the toughest sport, and I'm not "young". Twice now I have managed to gather up all my strength and start making my way to the gym, only for freak occurances (train literally going straight past the station, train being delayed for an hour) which left me unable to get there on timeI'm just wondering if any of you had the same sort of issues when you started training. Was the universe basically telling you to stay away but you persisted? Feel like im pushing my luck trying to go a third time lmaoThank you for reading

>>195524Who is going to let Terunofuji retire by ascending to Yokozuna? How long will it take? Will he be another barbarian Mongol?
>>195534Not gonna happen. There will be no Yokozuna for a time, and then someone will ascend.
>>195531The problem is he refuses to cite his sources beyond occasionally saying >_______, according to the Asahi Shinbun.And does so in a way deliberately constructed to make it sound like most of the video's text is personal research, rather than translated & paraphrased newspaper articles. Let's look at the script of the video we're discussing:>Terunofuji returned to practice bouts on Thursday 25th on the Kisarazu leg of the April tour, calling out oozeki Kirishima and going 5-3. It was very much a test run of his yokozuna frame, according to Sponichi. "I'd rather call it a gentle workout," said the man himself. "As Kirishima has had neck trouble, we had to take things steady. My own muscles still feel tight, as it's been all weights and no bouts for the past few weeks. Not bad for a first day back," was his initial verdict. The worsening diabetes which cost him 20 kilos of body weight in February this year is now back under control, he asserts.Sponichi is the only newspaper which ran these specific Teru quotes, and of course they also published the general information. He ties the Sponichi attribution to a random sentence instead of the whole thing (eg "Sponichi reports today the following:") to make it look like he's doing something. If he made it clear to his audience when he was contributing nothing to the reports (thereby admitting he is not a 'sumo journalist'), I would have far less enmity towards him.
>>195538>If he made it clear to his audience when he was contributing nothing to the reports (thereby admitting he is not a 'sumo journalist')He only does it when he can whine about people criticizing him.

Does anyone else think that this was fake? There's a 0% chance that Johnson actually beat this dude. The only possible explanations are that they aren't truly the same belts and are on different levels. Otherwise, the only other explanation is that it was faked/big guy didn't try.
It showed that bjj isn't real or effectiveDJ is a pro and well rounded grappler, but the other guy has a foot of height and over 100lbs on him. Even a small amount of skill on behalf of the big guy would equal whatever professional experience DJ hasBut that's not what happened. The big guy tried a couple of big guy brute force moves which didn't work and then just laid there completely helplessKnow what that means? It means he made it all the way to brown belt with those moves workingthat implies, nobody that's around him is able to overcome those techniques easily so he can just do themDude put the final nail in bjjs coffin with this performance, showed the world that having a strong wrestling background will fuck up bjj even at their own sport EVEN when the other guy literally weighs nearly as much as 3 of you and is a foot taller
>>195480>tiny skilled guy beats big guy with shit skills>bjj isn’t effective Fascinating logic
>>195514the big guy had bjj skills, DJ was a generalist with a highschool level wrestling baseif that's enough of an X factor to overcome such a massive size difference it shows BJJ is worthlessit shows you're better off being a terminal manlet that can wrestle than a giant with BJJ
>>195448How are fatfags so good at mental gymnastics?
>>195528It's the only gymnastics they're capable of
5'7 guy here. Gimme the best martial arts to effectively beat someone twice my size, if they have little to no experience.
>>194236Muay Thai, BJJ, or a combo of both.
>>194236Stay inside little guy, you aren't strong enough to swindle a pussy from Chad at one of the bars.
>>194242>enough striking to know safe distancesLanklets can use teeps, oblique kicks, jabs and crosses to keep the safe distance but there's no safe distance for a manlet other than running away. If he doesn't want to grapple, he should go close enough to throw a hook or uppercut and use footwork, head movement and blocks not to get hit.
>>194449Nta, but I am small enough to crawl inside your asshole
>>194449Nice attempt at trying to blackpill me. I VILL beat Chad. I VILL smash stacy's tight pussy.
What are the best nutrients/supplements for bonemaxxing?>bone composition>precursors to bone creation and repair>hormones that give denser bones>things that boost those hormonesUnbreakable bones are useful for extreme sports, so any help is appreciated.
>>195444From the linked study.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5621629/>Measures of eBMD (bone mineral density) derived from ultrasound are highly heritable (in the order of 50% to 80%), are independently associated with fracture risk, and are moderately correlated with DXA (scan) derived BMD at the hip and spine (r = 0.4 to 0.6)So dna results account for 50% of density.
>>195444i have nebula also i think its broken cuz i have a lot of stuff that is 100 percentile and 0 percentile also but its not statistically possible
>>195495I cherry picked those ones.
Research Botox in water. Great source of boron and increases bone density. Take tamarind, it increases the amount of fluoride leaving body, prevents it from being absorbed, and helps keep minerals like magnesium and zinc stay in system, increasing bone density.Get wooden pole and firmly wack your entire body before bed will help.Take empower supplement
>>195532>Borox*Stupid fucking tablet autocorrects

anyone rec general places that might be good to learn skating that tend to be empty? I'm trying to learn but i'm shy lol
>>195505anywhere past 11pm. just find a parking lot somewhere with nice ground or a schoolyard. if you don't like that then go to the skatepark early, you will rarely see another skater before like noon.
>>195229Think about how you’re feeling, express it using musical instruments, and then record it.
Why do boxers have so much more fights than mma guys?
That's just how it is
Because boxing is an open field unlike MMA which works in closed promotions.Once you arrive in the UFC or Bellator or whatever, you get matched up with the right guys and can quickly get a shot at the rankings if you keep winning.Meanwhile in boxing you have to make a name for yourself by having a good record, which includes a lot of cans to start.Also, back in the days boxers used to fight way more often because they didn't know abou CTE and shit,current top boxers also only fight 1 to 3 times a year.Also in MMA there are more potential injuries.
>>195485And why does boxing not have greedy promotions?
>>195485They didn't know getting your face bashed in for 10 rounds was bad. The fighters weren't the only ones with CTE
Seems like some prefer to risk missing weight than lose fat.Also why do fat fighters often win against taller and leaner fighters?
>>195123>Why are some fighters so fat?Because they're too lazy and undisciplined to not be fat anymore.>Also why do fat fighters often win against taller and leaner fighters?They usually don't (outside of sumo)
>>195123Because they eat a lot.body isn't everything. Fighting involves skill too you know.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNw2PqrQBv0

just thinking about the time when I'm stuffing a shot by pushing down on the back of the head, and for context I'm just a stuff master like unless your wrestling level is legitimately good, not just bjj good but wrestling good, don't even try it because you aint getting my legsanyway so I stuff a shot and then a crusty middle aged TRT juice junky black belt with coffee breath tells me my completely successful stuff was wrong "you gotta do it like this" and he proceeds to show a C grip on the back of the neck to push the head downobjectively he's wrong, but gotta be respectful and not argue "ok thank you"then I stuff another shot later on and he's in the peanut gallery HEY YOU'RE NOT DOING WHAT I TOLD YOU! ok..so then for the rest of class I had to do it the wrong shitty way he insisted upon and wouldn't you know it, I wasn't stopping the singles anymoreabolish belts

>>195498so lets see, traditional karate rulesbare knuckle, all surfaces of the hand are permittedthe only restrictions aside from the normal safety stuff would be how to regulate the grappling and kickingso clinching and upper body takedowns are 100% allowedand kicking will be a little trickier because we've been disputing to whether the roundhouse as well as kicks to the head are traditional or not, but it would be improper to say you can only use the foot to do kicks because traditional karate doesn't differentiate a kick from a sweep or trip, they're under the same umbrella of leg attacks
I like weapons, so I am drawn to Kali and the like. My self defense instances aren't really anything to brag about really, pretty boring minus the adrenaline. I've used my Surefire E2 to temporarily blind anyone with malintent, then skidaddle. Violent crime is on the rise again thanks to the psychos in power! Shit, originally this was just a hobby for me. Still fun though.
>>195256>Yes mma is very strong, but vs someone in wing chun with 10 years of experience when they actually know the art will give them a run for their money>he actually believes thislol, lmao even
>>195487>Like nigga why you cryin? get the fuck out of here with thatWhen I was a white belt in judo a brown belt girl simultaneously launched me to the floor with uchi mata and full force kicked me in the testicles. The combined power of a full force fall which I was not proficient in taking yet and the trauma to my balls made me tear up a little.
Looking to start Judo pretty soon, but I have a major concern - not worried about bodily injuries as I know that sort of thing is expected in full contact martial arts. But how common are head/brain injuries, even if they are light? I’m talking concussions or any significant bumps to the head.Anyone have any experience of this, or know how common head injuries are in Judo?t. Physicist, need my brain for work
>>193647In 15 years of grappling I just saw one brain injury, but only because the guy eas an idiot
>>193965Yet if everyone thought like you no one would let anyone do anything because of muh dangerous
>>1936472 years judoka. Ironically judo is the only thing that hasn't given me a concussion. (I had 3 prior to starting judo from other sports and skateboarding.) You hit your head every once in a while but not as hard as you'd think. Just a little bump here and there. Worst I ever got was a black eye. The real concern with judo is the MANY other injuries you inevitably accumulate. People regularly tear tendons, break bones, get cut or scraped, etc. in my club. I've busted my knee and arm a million times. You'll get choked so hard that you won't be able to swallow right for a week after. But this, to me, is part of the fun. There's no excitement in doing something if it's totally risk free. My advice here is that judo is an exercise not only of the body, but of the heart--you learn to tolerate pain, to stop worrying about "a study said [x]!", to check your ego, and eventually start to deeply enjoy fighting. I used to be afraid of sparring-- now it is the highlight of my day. The other thing people don't tell you is that judo actually helps you learn how to prevent concussions by learning how to fall properly. My sparring partner got hit by a car and only saved his head from hitting the ground by falling like we do in judo.
One of the guys at my Judo club has been practicing since the 1960's.He told me he never got injured with Judo but always gets injured when he does some other sport.
>>193647Very low. Two of the first things you learn is Judo is how to fall safely and how to do a move in a way your opponent can fall safely. Unless you constantly compete and do crazy acrobatics without breaking your fall, you most likely won't suffer any major injury, to your body or head.
for 5 years i’ve tried to learn the ollie, this summer…this summer will be the one i know it
>>194777friendly reminder anon, jump off the tail and not the ground or else all that energy goes straight into the dirt and not your board
>>194777i think what fucks people up is they try to do all the steps of an ollie in a sequence when it needs to be one fluid motion
You just jump and pop the board. I wouldn't say it's easy but you can do it.
You just push your rear foot down and pop the board, while sliding your front foot up to the nose. Thence lift your rear foot while leveling the board with your front foot. This is probably a bait thread but if not, now you know how to Ollie.
>>195506I wonder if anyone in the history of skating has heard that advice and then suddenly could Ollie.
