I've felt like storming off training before, although it was always when people got way too rough for no reason. Once was when a bjj blue belt took me (a white belt at the time) and over the course of a roll bruised my trachea with windpipe chokes, almost dislocated both of my shoulders and did something I still don't understand to sprain the muscles on my foot. The other time was in a boxing class when I, again as a beginner, was beaten up by a much more experienced dude that left me with cuts, a black eye and broken nose from what was supposed to be light sparring.

That’s pretty fucking autistic for someone to do but part of learning a combat sport is learning to suppress your ego. I’d give him another chance. If he acts like a retard again just don’t roll with him anymore. As you get older you will learn to become more and more selective with your sparring partners.

Socialize before and after class, don't waste instruction time. We talk in the locker room and often go out to restaurants after class but actual limited, scheduled, and paid-for class time is focused on training.

It's autistic to not read the vibes in the room and mesh with the existing social expectations. Same exact dynamic at regular sports practices growing up, even in elementary school--training time is for training, socialize with your teammates before and after.

You're on the path of performance above all else. This is also the path paintball took, and paintball is now a shadow of its former self. People saw the endgame and said no to the double trigger 30bps electroguns with motorized hoppers where it's all about dumping $100 of paint per game because that's WINNING! Now the painballers trying to claim back the sport are stock players with 10-rnd tubes and 12g cartridges.

~~Actually got the title fucking right 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).

you clearly have no fucking clue what creatine is or how it works, and if you think fags in the military aren't on shit much worse than this, then you're a onions-cuck with undiagnosed 'tism.
>the vast majority of elite athletes and military personnel don't take creameme
You mean the same athletes pumping themselves with hormones and shit for a 1% performance boost? Those same athletes that openly admit to taking creatine? Would it boggle your tiny mind to learn that athletes also take fuck tons of caffeine too? Is caffeine an acceptable "supplement"? You really don't know how the world works
>after a year or two of serious exertion it's no longer increasing your maximum capabilities
It's statements like this and
>ou have to continue taking it daily, forever, or else you'll lose a shocking amount of muscle mass.
that show you have no idea what the fuck it is. Creatine already exists in your muscles you retard, it helps replenish ATP in your muscles before they fully startup the anaerobic energy system (glycolysis). It's essentially giving you a slight boost in power and force production while doing high intensity work, allowing you to train harder, climb harder, and get stronger as a result. Any increase in muscle mass has to do with how it makes your muscles take in more water because it exerts osmotic pressure (something your dumbass never learned in biology). Creatine is literally in every muscle cell in your body ALREADY. Only difference is it's probably not at capacity. The average person usually has about 50-60% of their creatine stores full at any time. All supplementation does is get that to 100% and makes it stay there. Creatine is naturally found in meat products, especially red meat, so theoretically you could get your creatine exclusively from diet, but for most people it's not feasible since you'd have to pay exorbitant prices to ensure you're getting enough red meat into your diet.

I don't bother with the loading phase since taking too much in a day can fuck up my gut
just take 5g max per day and you'll notice it working within a week
also IIRC it's absorbed best in the presence of sugar so just mix it into juice or gatorade or something, idk why you'd use milk but I guess it's fine in a shake if that's what you want to drink, it probably doesn't make that big of a difference

>>190318
Not a terrible deal. The kingman hammer pump on top is easily worth $40-50ish.

The main issue is you’re missing parts on most of them and you’re going to have to put fresh orings in all of them. But it looks like you have enough parts to have 3 working guns (assuming you have barrels for them). The electronic guns are a little more tricky one is missing all of the electronics, the other you’re going to have to test with a 9 volt to see if the capacitor and clapper solenoid are still good. Good thing is these are spyders so they can be easily changed to mechanical trigger frames unless you really want to buy replacement electronics which more than likely isn’t worth the money. The third one I’ll explain Below. That long skinny gun is a Sheridan, kind of a niche older gun but as long as all of the parts are all there you should be able to get it up and running with new orings

>>190329

This is a jt excellerator looks like the grips and broken and the paint is pealing off the frame. Throw a fresh battery in it, cock the bolt back and pull the trigger. If the board and solenoid work the bolt should release meaning the gun can be fixed. If not then it will cost more to fix than it’s worth.

This will be a thread for people of all grappling disciplines (judo, wrestling, BJJ, etc.) to come and discuss or ask about technique. Here, we can avoid the retarded debates and help each other out with youtube links, instructional suggestions, troubleshooting ideas, etc.

Any serious grappler likely has questions from outside their main discipline. A judo guy starting BJJ might have some questions, or a BJJ guy trying to get better at wrestling.

This is NOT a self defense circlejerk thread, or a A vs. B circlejerk thread. Start with something like
>discipline
>years of experience
>technique question or problem

I train at one of the most popular gyms in the world right now and I'm an instructional addict. I'll do my best to point people to the right resources.

The nerves and spazzing is pretty normal, you're dealing with a lot of adrenaline.

If I have issues with my middles gears sometimes not engaging and clicking, what could cause that?
Indexing the gears doesn't fix it.
One guy told me it's probably a bent hanger. It visually looks straight but maybe it's a little off.
The guy at the shop says it's probably the chain or a worn cassette. He put a new chain on my bike but it's still doing it.
>>
>>190996
if you had it in the shop why wouldn´t he check if the hangers isn´t bent like it takes 10mins there are multiple problems possible most likely it´s in this order hanger, indexing, worn cassette, the cable is worn out or the lever is out of whack

Well it's back to raining nearly every day once again so over half of the local trails are back to being a slip and slide for the most part. The ground is mainly peat so drainage is horrible for most tracks as they just start off with someone clearing away some of the heather and then just ride it till it ruts in. Older tracks have finally got to harder ground but thats around 1ft deep so it will take years of riding realistically for some of the newer tracks to be properly ridable during winter. It is enjoyable at first but after spending at least 20-30 minutes after each ride for ~6 months of the year cleaning the bike and kit it gets monotonous.
>>190799
I don't think or know of any trail associations where I live in the UK, most tracks are built on public or private land and if tracks are bulldozed then people just go and build somewhere else. The main problem is walkers which put rocks, tree branches and barbed wire across the tracks which are nowhere near walking paths and they do it out of spite - it could also be because of the geriatric ebikers which exclusively ride up and down the fireroad. People have been hurt and ended up getting the police involved, however I don't think anything has ever been resolved.
>>190996
Why did the guy at the shop say its probably the chain or the cassette, changed the chain for you and left it if it as is still having issues, even after he said it could also be the cassette. I get that cassettes are more expensive to replace, but they could have at least asked to change it to attempt to resolve the issue instead of leaving you back at square one but with less money.
>>
>>190997
yeah now that you mention it he should have. He seemed pretty convinced it was the chain or the cassette so maybe both of us forgot. I'll have the hanger measured or replaced before I go through a cassette replacement for sure.
>the lever is out of whack
like the shifting lever in the cockpit?

Nah it wasn't like that. It's always shifted great on the stand but under load the issue happens. So he said let him know if it's still happening and I felt it on my ride back. The shop is just a ride thru a park away so it's nbd.
>>
>>191011
yeah in the cockpit but did the chain measuring tool fall trough even on the 1.0? If yeas the cassette is most likely done maybe but unlikely the front chaining

From my experience in as a bike tech to fix this check things in this order if the chain has been already replaced

Hanger>indexes (if you have newer shimano on the cage there is a line to help you adjust B screw)>check if the cage is not bent>cassette(just chuck some other cassette on it that the shop should have in stock for your hub to see if that´s the problem)>bowden/cable>lever

if none of these things it can be something more complicated like a bent frame hell i´ve even seen a broken BB causing similar issue but it´s uncommon for this to be a cause

if your shop can´t fix something simple as this than i would suggest learn to diy or change shop

Samurai of the dark future edition.

A thread to discuss Kendo/jutsu, Iaido/jutsu.

>What is Kendo?
Kendo is a modern Japanese martial art which combines traditional Japanese swordsmanship (Kenjutsu) techniques with sporting elements for competition. It is practiced with shinai (bamboo swords) and armor. The philosophy of modern Kendo is based off of Budo concepts and aims to develop the self through practice.

>What are the rules of Kendo?

>Am I too old to practice Kendo?
No. Westerns start later and many people practice Kendo until they’re dead.

>Just to see if the cuts and movements in the kata really apply to a fight
Did you talk to your teacher about that? Would it be in the dojo or just by yourself (and with another pal I guess)? I've been taught TSKSR myself, trained with someone who was taught by Hatakeyama and Sugino back in the 80s. I've done a bit of shinai as well on the side, but admittedly, I'd say it's not really useful before at least having learn all the four omote sets for tachi, bo, naginata and iai (mokuroku or something). Before that, your movements probably aren't even that good and accurate. It's fun and stuff, and I had the exact same questions about chidori, suwari gedan, o gasumi, kabute... Well I made all of that work with shinai, but does that say much? Who knows... Frankly, talk to your teacher rather than with some rando on freakin' 4chan! You probably won't learn much you already do with a shinai, but admittedly it's fun. You won't learn how to cut, but for moving it's good.

Why not read Hagakure?
Because it's a book that isn't even representative of its peaceful period. You are going to know stuff about a weird nostalgia-obsessed dude of the mid 18th c. who never fought but had lots of ideas. I'm sorta kidding, do read it, but be very critical of it. It's not complicated to find criticism of it online. It's not a "bad" book per se, just don't go on imagining that people in the Edo era thought like that, he precisely wrote the book because they didn't! It's not even representative of bushido or anything but there are still some truths inside of course. It's already a romantic book about samurai, kinda like how the French who never fought the Napoleonic wars turned to literature. But yeah, the whole "the way of the samurai is found in death" is total idealistic autism, that's why samurai like Kusunoki Masashige are celebrated, because they do stand out.
Warrior Tradition I have the hard copy so I can't even help you with a pdf... sorry.

Ok anon thanks for the advice, I usually talk about these things with senior students and they as well would try to do this one day.
The reason why nobody has asked the Sensei is because I’m a student under a menkyo okuden and to be honest I’m kind of embarrassed to ask him about it, I’m a bit afraid of being rude.
I also forgot to say that in addition to tsksr I practice kendo 2/3 times a week so one day I would like to see if some things that I learn in kenjutsu can carry over.
What’s your favorite weapon so far anon?
Mine is the naginata, while I don’t really like the bo but I really enjoy the way the naginata moves and feel to use.

>I’m a student under a menkyo okuden and to be honest I’m kind of embarrassed to ask him about it, I’m a bit afraid of being rude.
Frankly, I'm not in your stead and all, but if others are thinking about it and you're doing kendo, as the immortal words say, just do it. Chances are, you aren't the first to ask and he has heard more stupid and rude stuff. Just like... prepare the terrain if you think it's going to feel rude.

>What’s your favorite weapon so far anon?
Frankly, I don't really play favorite anymore. When you first learn a new weapon, I think there's quickly an initial reaction. I really enjoyed the bo when I started it, then same with the naginata, now I'm just positively neutral towards them all, it's just a different feeling. I like the power you feel with the bo, but I like the nimbleness and otherwise easy mode the naginata feels like (being able to attack very quickly in various directions just feels unfair when paired against the sword). Plus the naginata is quite an athletic weapon with all the kusanagi and kneeling overall. Kasumi no Naginata in particular is really nice to perform as it's long, there's lots of stuff. But overall I must say, I can enjoy all kata and all weapons...

>>190977
Judo has been used in various mixed fights since it's inception. See >>190770
Just because the current MMA rules and the Judo focus on Olympics limits its use in that arena in no way means it does not work. Do MMA with gi's, jackets or some other stiff clothing and I think you would find a lot more people doing Judo in MMA.

T. Things judo losers tell themselves

>>190977
as we've already demonstrated
every submission you've ever seen in MMA is judo in origin

They don't have to tell themselves, judo fights with other arts are documented and filmed.

>Just look at the sizing chart and measure your foot.
I mean in terms of width specifically, how do they compare? the sizing charts only show shell length.

I like the idea of going for a run for exercise, but also don't want to run
Should I get skates?

1. Very, especially if you have a rockered frame. The grip from urethane and less perfect surfaces will take some getting used to, but pivots/transitions and later slides will come easily to you.
2. Not really, they would be okay for beginner trail skating at the most advanced, not super familiar with the model you're after, but K2's softboot design doesn't give a lot of support, and they aren't very durable/easy to replace parts. K2 has a new hardboot skate coming out soon, but until then I would say stay away from K2. Look for FR, Rollerblade, or Powerslide.
3. Depends on where you live in Canada. Boutique Solo Inline just opened up, there's also Shop-Task and Pro Skater's Place. All three you'd be able to walk in, try stuff on, and talk to experts
4. 84mm is fine, but I would personally recommend starting with 4x80mm flat, learn how to rotate wheels for a natural rocker, and go through 3-4 sets of wheels while learning as much as you can before trying any other setups.
5. 80a is okay for smoother surfaces and will be fine if you're lighter (under 180-185 lbs) and aren't doing a lot of slides. Ideally you want at least 84a, start there and figure out your preferences. Unless it's made by MPC (will say on the wheel), clear urethane is bad, so if a skate comes with those wheels, replace them with Street Invaders or Hydrogen wheels. Changing wheels will be universal, just a matter of popping out the axle and switching the wheels. As far as mounting, flat boot/aggressive boots will have UFS mounting, urban/freeskates will have 165mm mounting (raised heel), and 195mm mounting for racing/speed skates. If a skate uses different mounting, don't buy it.
6. Like I said above, FR Street Invaders or Rollerblade Hydrogen wheels, the two are the best quality wheels at their respective pricepoints. Buy the max wheel size your frames will fit, keep them rotated. You don't have to get high quality bearings, but make sure they're serviceable (removeable shield/cleanable).
