Is making money with boxing your only goal? How silly.
In that case you've already won, because you found other, better means of making money that don't involve getting punched in the head for the enjoyment of strangers.

>its not like I can get good
I guarantee you can become better than you are right now, you no-training faggot. Fucking bizarre, I don't understand you. Do you want to do boxing or not? It's perfectly valid to train as an amateur hobbyist, in fact the overwhelming majority of people training are amateur hobbyists. Only a small portion of people who train are competitors, and an even smaller fraction of those are paid professionals.
If you don't wanna train, fine, do something else. But don't let fear of embarrassment prevent you from doing something you want to do, and then pine away over misspent time.

No I really want to do it but I know Ill never be good and going to a gym is literal torture. Im fucking terrified of people

Don't know what to tell ya, chief. I'm not a psychologist. "I'll never be good" is not a valid reason to not do something. "It's scary" is also not a valid reason not to do something. If you want to do something, then do it. If you want to do something, then do it.

>>195291
You just don't get it. Its too scary. And I want to be good. It's I can't be then there's no point

nope sorry i dont particularly do it i just know that it is suggested along side thnigs like yoga for low impact long term health, best bet would be to start by looking for the largest youtube videos that are beginner and do different videos till you feel pretty good and then look to buy books/online courses for advanced and more technical stuff. if possible just pirate things

Muay Thai or Kickboxing basics or learn traditional martial arts like Karate or Kung Fu is fun as fuck to do at home. You can even have fun and do full weeb shit like this guy:
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxenkaB7HWQ&t=195s
Then do katas/taolu. I think the best thing to do is you will still go to a gym/dojo and learn the basics of a system then just do that at home.

Some karate styles made documentaries showcasing their style's basics, warm-ups, stretching exercises, katas, supplementary exercises, power training, and history. The problem with learning these things online is that they can be dangerous. Get strong for a week then get crippled because of improper practice fucked up your ligaments or your heart or something. Specially that Sanchin kata where you tension your whole body while breathing in a specific way and in a rhythm matching your movements.

There's probably better stuff out there that can teach you in how to do it safely. Better learn the basics first before solo practicing at home for exercise and fun.

Tai chi is really good to prepare for shaolin. If you're not yoga flexible then it's not gonna be for you. Tai chi is a basic movement art that can spread into she shaolin fighting styles, and it's one of the styles itself.

Really can't learn any shaolin without a teacher to know what you're doing and put it all together. Their forms are a guide, though it looks kinda dumb to most.

Can't really learn wing chun either, all the wing chun sites on the internet aren't really scams, they're more or less for people that have taken them and do it time to time, or moved or something and there isn't a teacher around.

I could suggest tae kwon do, very good to get kicks down, or maybe the traditional muay tai?

Lots of running and strong legs will give you a slight advantage also.

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

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

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.

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.

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

>HEMA guys call oly fencing antenna tag

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.

now that the retard has burned himself out the adults can start talking again

effectively what it comes down to is just because a person has a skill doesn't mean they're good at relaying the information, and since most athletes fall into the category of low IQ individuals the only way they can teach something is to say "just look at what I do and then copy it bro"
do yourself a favor and stop listening to what the "instructor" is telling you to do all the time, you need to be focused on personal skill goals you set for yourself. If you're forced to do static karate drilling and kata the way most bjj schools do and that's your only choice then just play along, then use the open mat time for personal development which is where you'll see actual improvements

>>194719
>You will learn much faster and much more completely with your understanding If you are the one making the discoveries
I feel like there's a middleground between the brazil monkey see monkey do approach and the hands-off approach. Mindless repetition doesn't build critical thinking, but fumbling around in the dark with the occasional hint isn't leveraging the expert's knowledge efficiently.

>>194881
It shouldn't be fumbling around in the dark, the instructor should be putting specific constraints on the player to Force a desired behavior to emerge
I think it's really a more active teaching style because the instructions will change depending on how the class is behaving

As an example I will give an exercise to play with
Then we bring it in and I ask everybody is there something they learned during that process, or is there something you maybe had trouble with during that which stands out to you?
And it's a group brain storm at that point where students can mention hey I realized putting my hand over here was a really effective frame. Great
and someone else can say oh I was having trouble moving towards the back because of where his knee was
Ok anyone have an idea about what he can do there?
"His right arm is free so try posting the elbow to give yourself a better angle?"
Ok let's go back and do the exercise again, keep in mind what we just talked about about
Doing it this way is immediate feedback dozens of times in a short amount of time
