in order to be skinny i need to eat like 1200 calories a day, which is hard but doable. but anon imagine having to eat that little just to not be fat. Id rather eat a lot and workout a lot. You get used to eating little but its very hard to maintain

Trying to do an impression of Anderson Silva, doing a mixed impression of Fedor and Roy Jones Jr. Getting awkwardly ko'd was just artistic commitment.

Source for this graph? I had researched this before & got much larger numbers for UFC. Around 60%. For this graph to be true I am thinking it must be meaning only standing KOs?

>>190353
I think you only researched KOs and submissions without including decisions

>>190348
Slightly different rulesets favoring either striking or grappling styles. Additionally they may draft talents from different backgrounds, like ONE being a Muay Thai promotion dressed as MMA.

>>190348
>Matchmaking
If you delibretly make lopsided matchups there are more likely gonna be finishes
>level of competition
For regional shows like LFA and CW, there are a lot of guys making their debut or very early in their career. So a lot of guys who haven't realied yet the sport isn't for them because they tend to quit, or have bad defence, or are naturally chinny.
>what kind of fighters promotions are looking for
This is more so a theory to explain why Bellator is so low, the UFC generally looks for and is more favorable to finishers (look at how Jon Fitch go cut after one loss, but Carlos Condit stayed on the roster after 5). Meanwhile Bellator tries to get whatever other high level fighters that aren't in the UFC. Which includes UFC reject that were let go for being boring, like Phil Davis, Ryan Badder, Corey Anderson and the aformention Jon Fitch.

Nearly all street fights end with a KO/TKO
Professional fights don't end they way as much

The correlation would suggest the higher the skill level the lower the instances of a KO
And on its face that makes sense because defense is an easier skill than offense so although offensive capabilities increase with pros the defensive capabilities increase more

would bin ladin have been a good fighter? dude was tall as fuck, long reach

yeah no kidding

Maybe like get good at striking AND grappling.

>>195121
Also because MMA pays like fuckin crap compared to boxing. Once you reach the upper eschelons of boxing and get famous, each fight is millions. Ngannou got paid 600k in his last heavyweight title defense in the UFC.
James Toney had the balls to try but he was submitted pretty quickly.

>>195131
>Also because MMA pays like fuckin crap compared to boxing.
I don't think a lot of MMA fighters do it for the money, but yeah, it would be nice if they were paid more. And about James Toney, I respect him. I wish more boxers would step up to MMA fighters but with a no grappling rule. it would be interesting how a guy who only uses his fists can condition himself to take a Thai Boxing pounding, and maybe win.

subaru driving cross fit types that need a planned course with special mud to "compete". Its for posing and pictures. Just go do something for real like hiking, skiing, tennis, motorcycle riding.

I did and no it was not, it was just a several miles long run through a scenic area which I guess is nice if you're into running, which I'm not so it was whatever
then every 1/2 -1 mile or so there's an "obstacle" and most of which are quite easy/how the hell does that even qualify as an obstacle?
I think it would be fun if all of them were laid out back to back and skip the down time of running several minutes between them

some of mine included about 30 feet of knee deep water, picking up a log and walking 50 yards with it, going over a chest high wall, going down under a rope but it's muddy down there so you get a little damp
and there were a couple cool ones like the giant wall was fun, but I was able to just run up it warped wall ninja warrior style and just hung out up there for a few minutes helping the wine moms that couldn't quite make it by lowering my hand to them
and another thing was like a big seesaw sitting in water you had to get over, so people had to tilt it to help you over
that's about it though, not worth the price of admission

I only went because my gym wanted to do a group activity for the trainers and members to socialize outside the gym which is unprofessional cancer. The funniest part for me was when we're running through the woods on the back 9 and look around and realize we've completely lost the members because they couldn't keep pace with us. Had a laugh about that and just waited at the next obstacle for them to catch up

>>194803
I'm a manchild and that all sounds pretty fun. But yeah, at that price it'd just be a one time experience

>>194576
I 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.

do it with a group otherwise just do some variation of a marathon

2 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.

I find it interesting how incompetent the body catchers in Powerslap are compared to the slav tournaments. In Powerslap they just allow people to drop on the floor and bang their head.
It's such a farce to do the bar minimum to appease the local atheltics commission. Dana clearly wants footage of people rolling around on the floor.

You've got nothing, go practice more Power Slap and get more CTE while you fantasize about Dana's jizz in your asshole

Brazilian qt Nicholy Machado skates Aeons and she's hot af.

Went to a skate park with glossy, polished concrete for the first time (my local has much rougher surface).

my wheels felt really slippy, didn't feel comfortable at all doing tight turns or riding transition. Slipped out a few times and ate shit. I ride flat 60mm 92a, for reference.

Should I be using harder/smaller wheels on that kind of surface or what?

>>195031
You need softer, grippier wheels.

>>195044
actually I just realised I'm on 83a not 92a with this frame. softer than that seems like it'd be useless for any other surface. guess I'll still to my local park...

>>193670
Get on fb and see if you can find a local group, I did the same ended up finding some quad skaters that skate park. Ones pretty close to my skill level, brings back the energetic feels and gets me keen push myself instead of just mindlessly rolling around missing my skating buddy

>>195063
I am that guy and I kinda bailed on this thread for a bit because it sure seems like I'm wrong. Maybe I've just been lucky and come up in a good gym, but I've had no major injuries in years of grappling and competing and my current gym has had no major injuries as long as I've been here. We're not a mcdojo, either. We have a strong comp team and a few amateur MMA guys.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that any activity is going to have risk and while grappling may have more risk than running, you can mitigate that risk by how you train and who you train with. The spazzes in our gym are quickly taught how to not spaz or asked to leave if they are being dangerous. The higher level comp guys only roll with other comp guys or know to chill the fuck out when they're rolling with someone new or a hobbyist. I fully trust everyone I roll with to have my best interests in mind and even in the harder rolls I don't feel in danger. I've caught knees and elbows by accident and done the same to others but, thankfully, nothing serious besides some bruises.
It definitely sucks that you got cracked by someone's knee and I'm sorry you got hurt that way but it does seem like you've got some shit training partners. I've dropped into gyms where I felt like everyone was trying to just "win" and didn't care about their partners and I didn't like it, so I'm sorry this is your experience.
I'm definitely biased by my positive experiences with grappling and it seems you're biased by your negative ones. I still think grappling is the lowest impact legit martial art that most anyone can get into if they train smart. I've had way more minor injuries and headaches from training striking than BJJ but that's only my experience.

Anyway, hope you get better and sorry you got clocked like that, bro.

>PRP and stem cell injections, meniscus dissections, knee and hip replacements, ACL reattachments, labrum repairs, mufuggin back surgery, arthritis
Dude if you had all of these you are either extremely unlucky or trained poorly (overtrained, spazzed, ignored injuries). Injuries are a known risk but I know pretty serious black belts with only a knee or shoulder issue (that could be mitigated without surgery)
I also know people who have torn knee ligaments because they stepped off a large curb incorrectly.

Bjj has many positions where your spine is a second away from having 200lbs of idiot smashed into it.

>>191685
Spine is how much your arrow flex due archer paradox (it’s possible to reduce this effect with thumb draw and khatra)
When calculating a correct spine you take account your draw weight and drawlength (use a sheet which has been posted several times itt)
Compounds transfer more force so you need stiffer arrow (look sheet)

Grain = weight. Lighter arrow is faster. Heavier arrow has better penetration.
Why is this relevant is that lighter arrow is closer to dry firing than heavier one. Some bows don’t take that kind of stress very well and they get damaged and eventually crack. This is why you need correct gpp (grain per pound) again relative to your #of bow. There are some guidelines for gpp usually between 7-11 gpp or even more on some Manchu bows (heavier siyah) while some Korean horse bows are meant to shoot with low gpp

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?

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.

>place opens up a location near me

yup that's gonna be a pass for me. So basically it's karate class for grownups?

let me give it to you straight. If I'm paying you for lessons I'm paying for instruction, I want the entire hour to be instructive. I'm not paying someone to have me do sit ups and jump ropes and shit
you're there to show me moves and give drills to improve them, not to fix my fucking squat

We've come full circle.

there isn't really anything wrong with antenna tag as a concept. no less of a weird sport than like curling.

>>195100
>there isn't really anything wrong with antenna tag as a concept
there isn't, swordsmanship derived sports do a better job at replicating the dynamism behind an exchange than the more "technically accurate" studies.
