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
I take signs from God as they comeLike I have a few cars needing repairs laying around so my drive way is full and I have to park one on the street at night next to a hydrantBeen doing this for almost a year a this point and then 2 days ago a guy randomly comes to the front door and says "I see there's no plates on that jeep in the drive way, I'll give you $400" for itSo I sold it to him and now I can park in the drive way Then last night wouldn't you know it ther was something going on at the neighbors house and the fire department came and needed to use that hydrant which I had been blocking for months
>>195556Wow that's lucky. it's weird the universe didn't stop me from going to judo or BJJ even though I did not enjoy those and only went for three sessions yet wrestling it just seems to not even want to let me go once very weird. Maybe I'll get suplexed and dieded
That means you have to go now
>>195543where do you live that they actually teach wrestling to adults?
>>195671Not doxxing myself but near a major city, there are exactly 2 pure wrestling gyms (too far away for me) and 1 martial arts gym that does 2 wrestling classes a weekThere are MMA gyms located more frequently that do striking/bjj/wrestling but usually only one class a week and very expensive. It's rare here and I still have to travel close to an hour to reach my nearest oneAlso we don't have any school or college wrestling here.
Was training muay thai in class with my friend. Got my kick caught and he pulled. When I was hopping in my grounded foot, I landed funny, felt something in my knee like a pop and collapsed. No swelling at all, feels weird and tingly. Hurts when I attempt to walk on it. Doctor claims only meniscus tear but nurse told me the doctor half asses his job. Going to try to schedule an MRI.Do you guys thing its a ligament, and how bad is it to come back from those?
>>194787>>194854How's the myocarditis going buddy? I'm sure it's because of global warming and not your shot. Remember, for each booster you take, 10 palestinians die for the promise land
>>194862>for each booster you take, 10 palestinians die for the promise landHow many fake identities can I get away with before the nurse notices?
>>1948946,000,000
>>194721>Doctor claims only meniscus tear but nurse told me the doctor half asses his jobdid he at least do a lachman test?
>>195496Yes and my tibia is intact. No shifting. Just an update, I can walk but can't straighten my knee or twist.

>>174608One of the freshmen at Cal Baptist went to high school with me last year, granted I go to one of the best schools in the country for wrestling but still cool to see him go up against some big boys
>>186881Thank you, this looks very thorough and inspires flashbacks to wrestling practice.
>>179843>Is it true Amerimutts have no wrestling for adults and it's all in high school or collegiatePretty muxh, but the Only exception is if your mma (or just bjj) gym has someone on staff who wrestled in high school and college and specifically offers wrestling classes. Out of the 10 gyms in my city, only one offers actual wrestling classes

Does anyone know how the draw weight is measured on a yumi? I know draw weights are usually measured at a standard 28in, but kyudo seems to do nothing like the rest of the world, so at what length do they measure it?
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?
I am planning on visiting an MMA gym soon. Being honest, I am scared as fuck. I am a long time sufferer of imposter syndrome and I feel like there's no way a physically awkward nerd like me can do this without embarrassing myself badly but I gotta try. My gf is constantly pestering me about having kids and deep down I feel like "how can I be a father if I can't even protect my family from other dudes?". That's basically my biggest motivation. I was wondering if you guys would be ok with me blogposting my progress here somewhere as I am also socially awkward(literally diagnosed with autism) and it's kinda easier to talk online about stuff like this than it is irl. Any beginners tips? Is there a general I should redirect my posts too? Btw I am a Vegeta chad(undefeated against Goku)
>>193968For shitposting, not much else
>>193973Thats all this board is. This place is unironically worse than /pol/ or /b/
Just go, your body will eventually adapt to what's required.Also try out various schools, there is more than just MMA.
>>193806>american freestyle/boxing/kickboxingLol you're a karate dork. And not even one of the good ones.
>>193505Your mind is in the right place anon. Deep down everyone has some level of imposter syndrome, just keep moving and doing your thing. If you ever feel unmotivated remember that motivation is the fuel of the week, the strong thrive on discipline. Go exercise a bit, work on your cardio and flexibility, specially if you hear any pops or anything weird. Don't be too picky about the gym you are going to, at first, go to the nearest one, get some experience, and if with time you want to experience other stuff or go to a more hardcore gym do it. And yes, do post your progress, I believe it will motivate other anons to do the same. Just remember this is a slow thread so keep using the same one for as long as possible.>Any beginners tips?Fighting for me is about two things: control and creativity. Control as in breathing control, stamina control, distance control, pain control, body control, etc. Most of these things you can learn and practice before even fighting. Muscle memory also, that is half of the game to almost any physical endeavor. Follow your coaches instructions, don't worry about speed, don't worry about energy, focus on your form and repeat, repeat, repeat. Lastly, when you gain confidence and learn the basics and its forms, don't be afraid to try new techniques, just don't get hurt.Good luck anon.
As a small but mighty board, /xs/ has their own Soccer (not an extreme sport, I know,) team that fights other boards. This is done by making a computer play pro evolution soccer. Most recently, our former boardmates over at /pw/ won. Our roster is largely unchanged from the early days of the board: so I'm putting it up here for people to give feedback on. If there is a meme or shitpost you like from your threads (especially you guys, fight bros,) please hit me with it and what you think no longer represents the board. This is all autistic as fuck, I know.

5'7 guy here. Gimme the best martial arts to effectively beat someone twice my size, if they have little to no experience.
>>194449Nice attempt at trying to blackpill me. I VILL beat Chad. I VILL smash stacy's tight pussy.
>>194244This. 3 years ago a BJJ black belt got shot and killed in a club in Brazil by an off-duty cop (go figure) and I remembered all the YouTube MMA influencers releasing videos discussing how firearms should be illegal and banned since they're so unfair. 'The Fight Bible' did a 15 minute long video just bitching and moaning about how overpowered firearms are.

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
>>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.
>>195136>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.Find a better club, retard
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
>>195414I want to make a graph like this to show weight advantage at heavyweight, but idk how to make one.

What was Overeem trying to do?
>>194934Not get KO'dIt didn't really work for him
>>194934without steroids overeem is not much of a fighter
>>194934>overeem triesto over hand>sees ngannou hand cocked>duck back to other side, trying to over hand again on the way there>get hooked
>>195194this to be honest, he was never known to be a good or even decent fighter only to be really juiced up
>>195484>>195194Overeem is actually one of the more skilled heavyweight mma fighter ever, he still had a lot of success as econoreem.This is most clearly seen at the end of his career where he triumphed over far more young and by that point more athletic guys like Walt Harris, Augusto Sekai and Sergei Pavlovitch.Even in one of his few truly one sided loss where he didn't just get caught against Blaydes, he still did some interesting submissions attempts that 90% of heavyweight would never think to try. You don't get a 47-19 reccord after fighting for 22 years without some skill, also the highest striking accuracy in UFC history.
>>194576I did a few obstacle races. One was 6 miles and was up and down a ski resort in the spring time. It was was cold wet and crowded. Was kinda expensive and I had to travel for it. Was fun but you can run for free.
>>194576do it with a group otherwise just do some variation of a marathon
>>194803Wait a second, people actually pay money to run through mud and water?
>>195467They kind of trick you with the marketing like its going to be lots more obstacles and also a physical challenge but it's not. You can see how dumpy the girls in the photo are and know it's easy
Whoever figured out how to mass market horseshit team building work retreat nonsense deserves every shekel they get.
I know the japanese tourism and animation industry have a lot to thank toriyama for, but something underrated is how much the martial arts industry has to thank him forfact is it wouldn't be nearly as popular of a hobby as it is if this show never existed since it's the thing that inspired so many kids to get involvedso ITT we will discuss all things related to our training and self improvement and helping each otherexercises, training routines, diets, motivation, etc.work hard, study well, and eat and sleep plenty
Having a "point-break/transformation" to win a fight doesn't happen in reality, not even in the most exciting ones
>>194392I developed a skill that was able to temporarily enhance my physical attributes in a pinch, but it took time and practice cultivatingI would think about something that caused me a sense of existential dread like trying to comprehend eternityessentially I'd look into the void and induce a panic attack, but I became able to trigger it quicker and quicker through practice until I effectively gave myself the ability to flood my body with adrenaline at will
