Anybody do parkour? I junped off a 18 ft structure several weeks ago on to concrete and then did a roll. Did it 4-5 times and didn't feel anything. Few days after my hip is injured. Been injured since but slowly getting better.Anybody know any good hip exercises to prevent these injuries? Also, any parkour anons on the Toronto area?

>>139961The original Liechtenauer tradition is a lot older than Meyer and largely seems to focus on a few core tenants that people have misinterpreted in a lot of funny ways.When people do Liechtenauer they mostly mean longsword, though there are some other weapons as well, or at least adjacent sources that cover other weapons decently.Meyer has a fuckload of content, and is from later in history. While he shares a lot of terminology with the original Liechtenauer Tradition, a lot of the meanings have changed. He's also got a lot of proven Italian - or rather, Bolognese - influence.These days, Meyerists tend to be much more likely to practice shit other than longsword, such as dussack, sidesword/rappppier, polearms, and so on.
>>140036>dussackis bae
>>139914Swordsmanship is very heard to teach and learn just through books, doing and personal instruction is so much better. So you not being a book learner is fine, the lack of a club is a more severe issue. Finding a training partner is pretty much an absolute requirement here.>>139921Meh. The man might be good at cutting (I've never seen him in action nor heard about any exploits of his so I just don't have a clue) but I found his ability to explain to be decidedly lackluster. He goes on and on about how you mustn't add power as the sword is cutting, until finally remembering that helping things along with your wrists te-no-uchi style is a thing. Should you hit near the tip or near the hilt? Depends on which page you're looking at. And it all seemed so very heavily focused on just optimising cutting, with any fencing that may be going on being some silly nonsense you'd best stop caring about.So follow >>140032 instead and use the cutting to test if what you do in sparring are proper cuts.>>139997Same idea as a judogi. Something to grab on to when training the techniques where you grab on to the opponent's jacket, and hopefully sturdy enough that it won't just get ripped apart during said practice.

The guy in SoCal who wound up between two people.You should be thankful. Just move to your spot and wait your turn. So many spots are complete swim meet hassle fests. That you were told not to snake/backpaddle position instead of being told to leave is hospitality.Any beginners, find a beach, not a point or a reef. Look for unridden waves 50-200 yards off the end of the crowd.Paddle 3-4x more strokes than you think you need, and don't push yourself up to stand. Your weight will bias rearward and you'll miss the wave. Push the board down the face into the wave with your weight on your hands and then your front foot.Probably best to learn standing up in whitewash, and actual duck diving and positioning on a bodyboard with swimming (flippers).

Not quite ready to meet my maker just quite yet.
>>138024Sandman, that you?
>>138024Honestly is it worth going to the west coast for a surf trip or should I just keep going to south america? It sounds like it’s pretty much impossible to surf a point or reef out there without basically waiting in line with a hundred people. Down in peru you could surf chicama with maybe 30 people on it. There were other bigger waves with even less people, suppose what I’m saying is that do the crowds outweigh the quality of surf and convenience of living on the west foast?

The two on the right are my GFs. I have an old park board but I came to the realization that TURNING is the ultimate trick. Also the slush slasher will suffice if I ever decide to slam my body around in the park. I am 26 and my park days feel like they are over. You never see old people in the park but you can meet a lot of guys who can lay out absolutely massive carves ass to the snow at warp speed down blacks past the age of 65...

posting in a 2 year old thread
One year later edition.A thread to discuss Kendo/jutsu, Iaido/jutsu. OP post tailored towards Kendo since it is the most commonly practiced. >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?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cb13DKpDd_k>Am I too old to practice Kendo?No. Westerns start later and many people practice Kendo until they’re dead.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mm3CmNE72Bw>Is Kendo a martial art or a sport?Comment too long.

>>139046>still newYes, I will be training for a year in august.I kinda fixed being static however I get blocked after I lose my breath after 3 or 4 bouts.Thanks for the advice I’ll bring it up next time I go to practice.Also, do you have any advice/exercises on loosening up shoulders?I start off with loose shoulder and fluid movements however, especially in an intense jigeiko, they tighten up and have to make a conscious effort to loosen up.In addition to making me slower it also make the movements more strenuous so I would like to fix it, I suspect that I should just have patience and keep going until it becomes second nature.
>>139068>Also, do you have any advice/exercises on loosening up shoulders?I would practise holding the shinai first. There should be a little space between your arms and body, like you're holding a tennis ball under each armpit. The grip is very, very loose. Only the smallest finger should be tight. If someone were to pull on the end of your shinai, the shinai should come out of your hands. Remember that jigeiko is 'free practise'. You can say 'today, my goal is to keep my shoulders loose and to keep cutting big men'. You can then judge your success and failure on your shoulders, rather than hitting or not getting hit. You're right- if you keep going, your arms will strengthen and you won't feel the need to tighten the shoulders so much. But really focussing on them for a few sessions and during suburi will help speed that process up. Again, good luck!
>>96452why do Kendo though? It's not like samurai are real anymore
>>140073>You get to batter people over the head whole screaming your lungs out. Great for relaxation>Extended shouting results in improved breath control and blood oxygen for cardio gainz, as well as a powerful voice for when you need to be authoritative>Best calf gains of *any* activity bar none>High tier forearm gains (although not nearly on the level of rock climbing)>Doing kendo has real connotations of responsibility, athleticisim and maturity in a particular developed nation. Playing football can get you a university scholarship in America; playing kendo can get you a job as a policeman in Japan. >No pretensions of any kind. Kendo doesn't promise to let you beat up the bullies or defeat a knife-wielding attacker or simulate True Historical Combat with swords. Kendo is a self-improvement activity based on the principles of the sword and that is it. >One of the only truly sustainable, multigenerational martial arts. You won't find many eighty-year-old boxers or wrestlers still practising at a high level. With a little consideration, kids can meaningfully train with pensioners in kendo.>Tremendously interesting history. Learning about the modern development of kendo is revealing about Japan's occupation of Korea, America's occupation of Japan, the modern development of a whole host of Japanese martial arts (especially karate) and the political sporting context of those three developed nations.Honestly mate, it's just good shit.
>>140073Kendo was created in the 20th century. Some ex-samurai helped creating it but its goal has little to do with "muh samurai".It's just a sport.

Been training and competed in Muay Thai for 7 years now and have recently become interested in Lethwei. I have struggled to find to find any form of Lethwei gym outside of Myanmar and imo the situation over there does no seem ideal for foreigners atm. Does anybody have any pointers on ways to get into training Lethwei? or ideally gyms that could help me get a fight eventually?
You must have a lot of issues to really wanted to fight without gloves and with headbutts constantly, all of the fighters are desperate to not starve, you can't sell that in other context.

Is there any purpose in training solo in uniform? Or could it depend on the style? I'm currently studying Vo Lam Kung Fu. The only reasons I can think of for wearing a uniform while training solo are>To have clothes to sweat in>Clothes to get dirty when doing stretches on the floor>Clothes that won't tear>Clothes that won't restrict movement>Hear sleeve movement when shadow boxing>Hear similar moment on pants when shadow kickingI can't think of any reason to wear the belt while training solo since my uniform uses buttons to hold the top together. Could there a purpose of wearing a belt while training if the uniform uses buttons to keep the shirt together?
>>135598Tradition/culture/uniformity/identity is pretty much the only reason. Same reason why school uniforms for private schools exist, same reason why police/military/certain clubs all have either uniforms or apparel/accessories worn to identify themselves and their rank.
>>135598Train naked, it allows better airflow
>>135598You can drill technique solo. Best return on investment for doing this in uniform for getting use to how it feels being>rolls (forward, side, backward)>breakfalls (forward,side, backward)>shrimping (forward,side, backward)Pretty much anything that you can work 100% alone but you want practiced based on how it will feel in uniform
>>135598>>Hear sleeve movement when shadow boxing>>Hear similar moment on pants when shadow kickingThis for Taolu. Hear whoosh whoosh *clothes crack* feel good motivated to keep going
>>135598>Look cool.>Feel cool.Whatever helps motivate you to get off the couch, right? I moved pretty far from my home dojo, so I usually throw on my uniform two or three times a week and do a workout like I would if I were in a class (stretches, calisthenics, combos, kihon, counting in Japanese/Korean, kata, etc.) and intersperse those days with gym days.

Why are they all the exact same? It's like they are made in test tubes.
The actual answer is that martial arts attract small, insecure men, and by the time they get good at it they realize martial arts won’t get you pussy, (much) money or status. The lifestyle and ego death culture of martial arts like BJJ is just a cope. It’s a sport, nothing more, and if you take it any more seriously than that you’re probably a coping manlet.
>>139864is it though ? I feel like most guys at my boxing/kickboxing gym are above average in height and weightMy grappling instructor is also like 6'3 210 pounds
>>139839He taught various blood and collar chokes while standing and some on the ground. He liked to do Nage-no-kata but he really liked O-Guruma for what ever reason. He was always wheezing and chuckling, it was bizarre but informative. He did this whisper thing were he would come up and speak really quietly so you can get closer and he would do some move on you but slowly. Just to give you an idea of how traditional he was, he told a small collective of us about palm striking people in the nose would kill them because of the whole nose-bone into brain thing.
>>139864All of that applies to BJJ fags and wrestler faggots but Judo is a real art that people respect, it’s the most practiced art on the planet and is actually applicable to real life.
>>139864>The actual answer is that martial arts attract small, insecure men, Yeah I'm one of those. Dunno about the rest. >and by the time they get good at it they realize martial arts won’t get you pussy, (much) money or status. Nothing really gets you pussy. I've seen fatsos getting regular action. I've seen complete autists mogging people in the gym. >The lifestyle and ego death culture of martial arts like BJJ is just a cope. It’s a sport, nothing more, and if you take it any more seriously than that you’re probably a coping manletYeah, but with some martial arts (and real, consistent training) you can really fuck most people up. This is not a cope. It's just pure facts.
