>>37939>my point was anything works against an untrained, unarmed, and drunk opponent,Nah, there are so many bullshit martial arts that used to be popular that just don't work.
>>37960we really shouldn't be calling it martial arts when they are dancing styles
>>37939Working against an untrained weakling should be the bare minimum. Why are you trying to exalt this floor of effectiveness as though it's something to proud of? It should work against untrained weaklings at a minimum, and it should also work against fully resisting trained athletes.
CRUISER GENERAL THREAD>fuck skateboards>fuck longboards>fuck janniesdinghychads get in here
>>36386No its not a mistake, excellent pick, yes you are going to fuck yourself up. Get it.
>>36426Turns out it's fun as fuck. I'm really enjoying riding it. Might get a proper penny board at some point, though this one isn't quite bad enough to justify replacing.

>>37398I always read Dambe allowed headkicks but I never saw one in a match before, thanks anon.
>>37963My point is that "exotic military uses X martial art" should not be considered an endorsement of that style or gym - because militaries don't care about producing competent hand-to-hand fighters.You had a good kickboxing coach (and I mean this in the generic sense of punching & kicking someone trying to punch & kick you); congratulations. This "muh military use" aspect was how Krav Maga fraudsters sold their classes in the mid-200s and how TKD fraudsters sold it in the 80s and 90s.

>>37834That comes decently quickly if you push yourself with stairs. If you're comfortable with jumping 8 steps consistently and not pussy out you can ride like that guy
>>37841The only people judging are confused pubertating 14 year olds. As long as you're not getting in the way of other people's tricks then no one gives a fuck. Next time you're there you should play SKATE with someone
wow es has a heck of a team. do up and coming skaters straight up refuse to ride for them, or are they not profitable enough to sponsor more than 5 has-beens? (except wade he's nice w it)

Lol, some dude came up to me in the skatepark and said he never skated rollerblades before and if he could try, I was like "yeah sure" and fuck man the way he moved was fucking nuts, he was so agile on the skates it was crazy.After he left, another dude came up at the skatepark and was like, "Crazy that *insert name I forgot* used your skates, how do you feel?" Turns out it was some NHL player.
long one
>>33426>all this anger, seething and legitimate violence over lads just blading What the fuck, is this an American thing or were skateboarders back then legitimately that insecure?
Anyone who posts here and lives in brisbane want to meet up and blade?
I want to learn how to inline skate around, I havent for years since I was a kid, I can ice skate without falling forwards with no problems but i cant go backwards or spin etc. I bought some Rollerblade Zetrablade skates, $100. Did I fuck up or should I be in practicing on my own in a empty parking lot?
Tell me about Kendo, I know absolutely nothing about it. Also Kendo thread.
>>32694I wish more sports had ingrained rules to encourage monkey screams
>>37534Kendo has the best kiai out of all the martial arts that do it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaoPNiWnHPs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYG5sFoFVeEAll Japan 8th Dan Invitational going on right now
The more time I spend in HEMA the more my interest for fencing and Kendo grow.I think it's very based.This is a very good watch.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BT7f0w38cgQ
>>38003You should give it a try! The different cultural elements may be a bit jarring, but Kendo is an enriching activity that can be as competitive as you want it to be.Mind the weebs, though, but they usually flake out after 2-3 months and take their beginner's zeal with them when they try HEMA and pretend they didn't have an obsession with the katana.
Previous: >>7466How is everyone's training going? What style do you do and what do you cross-train in if anything?
>>37975Cool, I just skipped through it but the fighting scenes were cool
>>37977>I just skipped through it
>>37978I was just curious about the fight scenes, couldn't care less about the story (I'm not the guy who recommended it)
at what point should you decide you don't want to keep training in a style? I really like the physical benefits of a place I'm going to but I feel like I'm miserable half the time
>>38024When you find a better one?
What are some good documentaries, i want to learn the history of some martial arts, and the estoric side if you understand me. The traditions, and any books would be nice too.
>>37996As far as Carlos Gracie and the very early days, it's nearly identical to mcdojos the world over. It's questionable whether Carlos ever even met Maeda.
>>38021But it's definitely recorded that he was a student of Jacyntho Ferro which was Maeda's top student.
>>37899i'll just paraphrase:Humans started in Africa where they killed each other with their bare hands (a common pastime over there, even nowadays).When they migrated to India they started thinking about hand-to-hand strategy.Like a thousand years ago or something, some dude from India went to China much later on and shared this knowledge.For the next few hundred years or so, the Chinese traded this shit with the Okinawans, who refined it into a practical, effective art.In the 1920s, some Japanese dude brought the Okinawan shit to Japan and simplified it for the average man.After WW2, some Korean dude took the Japanese version of the Okinawan shit, mixed it with some sand-nigger Kung Fu from Western China, and completely fucked it up into a very unsophisticated and brutish form of combat, (and included fancy kicks for some reason).Comment too long.

>>38025my apologies for mentioning India.

>>33370It's not really a BOING, more like a KCHUK
why does everyone shit on bmx?
I don’t see many anymore desu, seems like most of the kids these days go from Scooter -> MTB
>>37869All the rear impacts must be giving the riders trouble clenching, I suppose.
>>37869Because they bring in whores who think theyre witches and the whores do some "magic" like spreading sand on the bottom of the 4 stair.
>>38000Its not sand. Its crusty cunt dust.
>Why do people shit on xbecause they don't do it
>Red is scientifically proven to make you win fights more often when you wear it>There's no rules against wearing red in MMA / boxing>There is rules against non-issue stuff like steroids though that everybody does(((UFC)))
>>36269>being black is scientifically proven to make you more violent >theres no rule against being blackWtf dana (((white)))
The psychological effect of colours on athletic performance is understudied but has been proven to exist.Having aggressive colours like red in view improves your performance, having mellow passive colours like pale pinks and blues reduces it.Boxing meta should be gloves that are red on the inside and pink on the outside, and you wear a pink leotard.
>>36269https://bitwave.tv/Hendrikhttps://bitwave.tv/CrackRockChrisufc streams :happening:
>>37670If that's the case, then shouldn't the guy wearing red lose more, because the opponent is the one seeing the red, hence him improving, whereas you don't see your own color, you see his color more than yours?
All things related to exploring and climbing abandoned and not-so-abandoned buildings.READ THIS FIRST!!Unless your idea of fun involves dying from internal bleeding in a pit underneath a caved in floor, always go with a partner. Provided you have one, urban exploration isn't actually all that dangerous. But make sure to take someone who isn't a pussy or a faggot, you know what I mean, alright?ESSENTIAL GEAR:PROPER CLOTHES (THIS IS FIRST AND IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE IT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT BY FAR! YES MORE IMPORTANT THAN FOOD AND WATER. WHY? YOU CAN'T DRINK WATER IF YOU'RE ALREADY FROZEN TO DEATH OR PASSED OUT FROM HEAT STROKE. BRING APPROPRIATE WEAR FOR THE WEATHER)FOOD AND WATER (ALL CAPS BECAUSE ITS ALSO REALLY IMPORTANT. Bring AT LEAST 1 liter of water, but not too much because water is damn heavy)Flashlight (There are a fuck ton of dark places that show up in places that people don't tend to go that often, so bring one AND A BACKUP ONE TRUST ME ON THIS) Headlamps are also cool and allow you to have your hands free.Money - cash for emergencies.Comment too long.

>>33838https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4L0AvU6HpsI don't know what UK self defense laws are like I've never looked them up but knowing the rest of our laws it's probably retardedNo doubt the police would find some way to claim it wasn't self defense since you had a knife on you for this purpose
>>33838>>37241>that thumbnailI was looking at options for visiting the UK a couple years ago and the Svord Mini Peasant was my top choice for a UK legal (if you're carrying it for mundane rather than martial reasons) pocket knife that wouldn't fold on your hand in a scuffle.
>>18628Nice to see so many /uberx/ guys in WA. No idea about aberdeen but I'm making a run at a 8ft storm drain soon. Really annoys me that WA doesn't have many large storm drains.
>>14507>>14509>>14510>>14513>>14515sick posts. i hope you have a blog or something. bumping kino thread.
Clinching, matwork, newaza, rolling , etc.
>>37943Terere loved this move.
>>37943remade this since I just realized this one was cropped compared to the source video
>>37935What kind of gun is it? Did you try firing a shot to see if the system cycling would stop the leaking?
>>37936shocker rsx. i did not try that I will give it a shot.
>>37936>>37937also im not sure how much lube to put on spool valves. some ppl say very little and others say to make up for the extra space in the grooves where the orings go.
>>37937Check the valve o ring (big on in the middle that the bolt moves on). Take it off and clean it, relube then try again. If not check shockers website for trouble shooting. Usually if its a leak down the barrel its a valve o ring. Also shoot it a few times after lubing, doesnt need to shoot paintballs but dry firing it spreads the lube out and it sometimes fixed the issue.Also on a different note does anyone know of anyone that makes neoprene tank bottle covers for 45/77 tanks? I hate the silicone ones and cbf taping up the ass end of my tank like the pros all do.
>>37938Should be a thin film on the ring but if extra collects on the side of the o rings then its fine. Just dont dump it all on. Usually just getting a small dollop on your finger and running it a round the ring is more than enough. Should look something like this if 4chon doesnt compress the fuck out of the image. But this is after a few times the bolts cycled over it.https://youtu.be/g4qBjWrSz8ESkip to 12:20 and praise Rory.
