>>117452Better motor. Something like a ASG 30k boost. Other than that maple leaf barrel, bucking and Omega nub
>>117508>Better motor.I actually have a mosfet trigger unit laying around to put in it, would that make a better motor even more important?I really know nothing about this shit, I'm just getting into the game from paintball via handed down stuff. I like hacking shit together, it's a lot of the appeal for me
>>117517It would mean you can run it with 11.1 lipo batteries which means a vast better trigger response and higher rate of fire.

Are you supposed to be tense when it lands? what is the proper technique ? do you move your feet during the punch?
>>87832>Are you supposed to be tense when it lands?You should be loose and relaxed all the way until it makes contact, at which point you should be tense. >what is the proper technique ? do you move your feet during the punch?You are going to have to go to a gym. You will form bad habits, and will have nobody to correct you. Also, taking the advice of randoms on a subject you know nothing about is a risky prospect. You have no way of discerning good advice from bad advice.That being said, I’ll give you my advice. You should start out learning a basic jab cross. First, form your hand into a fist. Make sure that the thumb is properly tucked. Start with your feet shoulder width apart. Step forward with your left foot (assuming you’re right handed). Put your hands up into a guard. Your right hand should be near your chin, and you left should be a bit more forward. Keep your elbows close to your body. Keeping your feet in place, rotate your hips/shoulders while extending your left arm in a straight line. Pull it back to your guard, again in a straight line. Do the same with your right hand. Make sure to push off with your feet, keep your elbows in, and get proper rotation. There are a billion different ways to throw a punch, and a billion different small or not so small details, but these are the basics.
>>116302Oh, and hit with your first 2 (i.e. index and middle fingers) knuckles. Avoid your last 2 knuckles as you can fracture your hand quite easily. Also keep your wrist straight.
>>87928this
>>99101also this. bonus points if it's a gym where they train in a full contact martial art/combat sport and they spar regularly. most mma gyms are bad anyways.
You’re supposed to be using your whole body to generate power. Think of it as if you were pushing off the ground with your legs and hips to force your fist forwards. Your fist should be held loose and your muscles relaxed (to ensure greater speed) until just before impact, where you tighten your fist/arm muscles/exhale all air from your lungs. The 90° fist rotation comes right at the end. Absolutely do NOT straighten your arm all the way, because you WILL break your elbow/bugger your shoulder. 85-90% extension is perfect.

Discuss arts classified as Traditional East Asian martial arts here (Wing Chun, Tai Chi, Karate, Kempo, Taekwondo, Kudo, JuJutsu, Judo, Aikido, Hapkido, etc) in a safe space.Discussions about effectiveness vs MMA etc are great but not for this thread. Yes many of the ones mentioned are Budo which in Japan are classified as modern arts, this is for what Westerners perceive as traditional East Asian arts.What is your art?What is your grade/belt level?What is the most important lesson it has taught you?
anyone have any thoughts on Pak mei? the style from the game Sifu.
>>109126Ranton made a video about it and it's pretty good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nPX1nC6e6QToo bad there isn't anything more to it because the principles it follows sounded nice but it's probably just marketing
>>106885I find it funny that the head instructor of my tang soo do school uses the fist and dove patch as their independent organization's logo and he loathes grappling and throws yet the defining feature of wado ryu is that it's a blend of karate with traditional jujutsu with a heavy focus on grabs and throws.Funnier still is that because of my hapkido background if I were to blend all the stuff I know into one thing it would look somewhat similar to wado ryu only with some western boxing and wrestling thrown in the mix.

>>114033Hazard pay is a meme.Commercial diving pays well because there are fuck all places in the world that can give you the qualifications for it so it's a very gatekept industry you pretty much have to luck your way into. (Being raised in one of the few places that does it etc)That's basically all industries that pay well.

I'm thinking of practicing a striking martial art (I have to decide whether it's taekwondo, muay thai, boxing, etc), but I'm a pussy and I worry about getting my teeth knocked out, I had some trouble with my gums in the past, but I would say it shouldn't be a problem now.Would you recommend one martial art over other if I worry about stuff like this? Like, is Taekwondo less intense than Muay Thai, for example?Either way I think I'll use at least a mouthpiece for sparring, maybe headgear to avoid cauliflower ears, idk. And I don't mind being the only one using them, but I think I would rather not be the only one. Are there some martial arts where people are more likely to use protective gear?
>>117081You will certainly be the only 30-year-old white belt. I just don't think TKD is going to be fulfilling at your age, and will ultimately disappoint you. Boxers tend to spar really hard, at almost, if not 100%, power. But some gyms have you go lighter with a partner if you're a beginner or you clearly state that you are not interested in frequent hard sparring. That, or you just don't spar. Doing these things might make you a little ostracized from the rest of the boxers, though. Muay Thai, MMA fighters, and kickboxers tend to spar lightly but with intensity, much healthier than boxers. FYI headgear has been proven to not prevent brain damage, but does prevent scarring, cuts, bruises, etc.
I think you've gotten as much as you can from 'desktop research'. It is time to visit both the TKD and the boxing clubs. Thier timetables will be important too. Get a sense for what the average week looks like at each: The class structure. The coaches. The vibes. Demographics. Etc. Then reassess. Once you start having fun you wont be worrying about getting your teeth knocked out that much I think.
>>116984I'd recommend Muay-thai. They're extremely effective while also being super chill on the sparring. The reason they make those weird noises is to show their sparring partner that they're just playing around and not taking it super seriously. With boxing you're more likely to run into dickheads (100% opinion I have no idea never boxed) and TKD isn't the most effective.
>>116984Had a tooth split in half during a mosh pit. Doesn’t hurt nearly as bad as I expected it to and no one notices I have a fake tooth unless I tell them. Also just wear a mouth guard retard. Everyone does because it’s retarded not to.
>>116984See >>117460Also, WTF style mandates usage of headgear and a mouthgard, ITF doesn't always. That might sound safe compared to MT but, in MT 90% of the kicks will be to your legs/ribs. In TKD any competitive gym will have a ratio of atleast 50% head kicks.As for I or W; pick the best instructor, the styles are mostly unimportant beyond protective gear.As for Kata and kids, most places barely do kata so just ask how long they spar each session and when you go in and watch it should be clear if the club is moe kid or adult oriented.
If you're a non BJJ cuck then you probably hear about Gordan Ryan and that he's fairly good, but do you realize the magnitude of how much better he is than everyone else? it's absurd.The 2022 ADCC just happened. It's very common for professional BJJ matches to go the full time and just be decided by advantages or 1 or 2 points. If someone does get submitted it's usually 10 or 15 minuets in and rather rare amongst the best. Gordan just submitted the semi-finalist of the tournament in 11 seconds. He the proceed to submit the person he faced in the finals (the second best on the planet) in a little over two minutes. As much as we all hate him Gordan Ryan's BJJ operates on a a different plane of existence. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AM4y9Zviv_ohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZO-QKVEYA70
>>117270We talking about judo?
>>117268>Gordon Ryan is overratedRetard alert
>>117358ADCC is worthless outside the open bracketno one cares gordo
>>117268>I mean, seriously, an outside heel hook from a random guard pull in 15 seconds.That's not even skill. His opponent literally has to be a fucking retard for that to be possible.You're making it sound like that wouldn't have worked on you or some of the higher belts at your gym, which could be true. What I remind you of is that he did this to one of the semifinalist for the world championship.The alternative point of view is that perhaps it only looked simple because Gordan Ryan made it look easy.
>>117290The size thing is too much of an issue. Anyone who could be competitive is just too small to pose any threat. To get on that much juice you have to either be *super* fucking dumb (Brazilians) or have a monster ego and just not give a shit because all you care about is winning. The former will never really be a success because too dumb, and the latter just barely exists, let alone with the skill and training that Gordon has. >>117358I'm a big fan of his style and technically he probably is still the best. I'm not even saying he's not the best, just that he isn't proving it by being so juiced that no one can even get close. >>117394Unironically I train with some guys who were at ADCC, so yeah probably not. Would it work on me? Well buddy I am about 160 pounds and have glass feet so it may well have. But anyway, if you look at the position, the guy's knee is still free to move so there's no pressure being applied, which you'd expect when the guy is still on his feet. The guy just tapped because he was scared or wanted to give up early. That's an early stage submission right there, and anyone in a lower weight class would know that and probably have the means to escape. That skill simply isn't developed at their weight class because no one ever poses a threat with it, because the game at their size is literally retarded. This is why Gordon is dominant, because he's naturally a lanky guy and got good before he became a gorilla. Anyone who's naturally big (even before being enhanced), unless extremely disciplined, will never have this skill (even then that's debatable).

Why was their physique different, often a boxy look? Was it because they lacked the equipment we have now, or because their training methods were primitive? Or something else completely, like lack of exposure to hormone-mimicking substances in the environment and food supply which affect us?
>>116653Different training. They aimed for performance, not mass. Less steroids (not "none") and different oens, of. Different athletic and beauty ideals than today.

Old time guys typically also did a bunch of wrestling, and the concept of isolation didn't really exist, at least in so far as training the physique itself. And what did, still involved picking up the lead filled globe barbell to do it with. So core engagement was happening near constantly.

Our government are right-wing assholes who enrich themselves and their friends while basic infrastructure like roads, hospitals, schools go to shit. It's like the 3rd world. The EU is far better and blue states in the U.S. that I lived in like NY and NJ like heaven.So of course we spend all our free time fighting or doing dangerous sports if we don't drink or do drugs. It's how we've got so much combat sports and extreme sports success despite our small size.
Okay guys lets get a little mystic.Its obvious that you can concentrate your energy to get more faster or strong, but you also can predict enemy movements or hide yourself.If you had practice team sports at a Elite level you can feel that something is wrong with some individuals; they can hide in obvious ways and not be detected or do crazy stuff.How can I achive this level? I want to train my energy to be the very best in my field.
>>117341ngmi>>116194in combat it's known as sensen no sen and the best way to do it is to train your body coordination and 3d spacing in your head, you have to build knowledge on what the other guy will do and how you will respond to it but not waste time by thinking of making choices, in chess a lot of players can see what the best move is just by instinct in the same way because of their memorization and repetition
>>116194>Its obvious that you can concentrate your energy to get more faster or strong, but you also can predict enemy movements or hide yourself.Okay sO I don't know if this is obvious to me. Unless if by "concentrate your energy" you mean training consistently. But if you mean just like, concentrating on some dragon ball z stuff then nah I don't agree.>If you had practice team sports at a Elite level you can feel that something is wrong with some individuals; they can hide in obvious ways and not be detected or do crazy stuff.Again I'm not sure what you mean by this. Some combat sports practitioners can sneakily pull off techniques without the other person noticing but if you mean like, disappearing on some Kuroko No Basket "Phantom drive" shit? Then no that is not possible.
>>117387> you have to build knowledge on what the other guy will do and how you will respond to it but not waste time by thinking of making choicesLol why am I not shocked that aikido retards think talk like this. Maybe it’s because your entire martial art involves choreography.
>>117387>in combat it's known as sensen no sen and the best way to do it is to train your body coordination and 3d spacing in your head, you have to build knowledge on what the other guy will do and how you will respond to it but not waste time by thinking of making choices, in chess a lot of players can see what the best move is just by instinct in the same way because of their memorization and repetitionThis is not how it sensen no sen works, retard.Maybe if your opponent is a total noob with few recurses you can predict, anticipate to him.Sensen is beyond that.Sensen is "situation", you are guiding your opponent, with an pro active "defense", which depending on your school can be more or less subtle,with an active "defense", which depending on your school can be more or less subtle, you get your opponent to attack WHEN AND HOW YOU WANT so you have already anticipated his attack and acted accordingly.Very basic example: in kendo you provoke an attack (giving you a chance to hit) and when your opponent attacks you have already struck first.As you can see: it is not a "sensation", neither reflexes nor speed are used and it is certainly not a reaction of a passive subject waiting to be attacked.
