Now that /asp/ has been resurrected as /xs/, it's time for a parkour thread. I've been getting back into parkour the last couple months and I have to say I missed it as much as I missed old /asp/. Where are you at with your training? How have you been working around the lockdown chains of Corona-chan? How much do you apply the utilitarian Hébertist mindset of being strong to be useful to your training routines?I guess freerunners can post, too. Maybe even gymnasts and trickers if you don't get your own thread up and running.

>>52035You can practice a fair amount at home. Even on just a floor you can practice a couple of different vaults, precision jumps, ukemi/breakfalls/rolls, and so forth. However, you'll have to train on more advanced obstacles if you want to progress and you'll have to train in public if you want to learn to apply the practical side of parkour. A lot of people get self conscious training in public alone but it's just one more obstacle you have to train to overcome. That's what parkour is about, after all: overcoming obstacles both physical and mental. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4x-MEFpaJU
>>52042nighttime jogs are good if you're full autism mode
>>52043Agreed, just make sure you're not in a sensitive area or dressed like a sketchy person where people will think you're a vandal or a thief.

why does everyone shit on bmx?
bmx is a little easier. you still need balls but it's halfway to a scooter. it's also hated because it's just bigger but in reality if you are at a park that allows bmx you should deal with it. Plenty of parks are just for skateboarding and the ones that allow bmx are often better for bmx. They can keep their speed over rougher surface.
>>37869It's because the bike seat stimulates your bowels, OP.
>>42329>communiststhey're anti-gov, libertarian.
>>37869Normies and normie image shits and gets shat. It is an issue of palpably fake and forced pop image. Bmx is bicycle's epic and noble form, with a most ancient and animist origin firmly rooted in simply escape to better headspace.
>>48878this needs to be a real thing, OCMX sounds hilarious
We got any onewheelers in here?Which board do you have? Tires, accessories, mods?
Shameless self bump.I can't be the only one on here.
i skate but i just wanted to say that you guys are always cooler than the electric longboard fagslike yall stay in your lane and know ur retards so i fuck with you. you go off road with your shit?
>>48489Yep. I put a burris tx-33 treaded tire on mine. There are some dirt bike ramps not far from me which are fun.
>>48491I'm about due for a new tire. How has the treaded tire been treating you?
>>48478These things are so funThe XR is nice as fuck
How many of the conspiracy's listed on this chart are actually true?
>>51157Helio never fought a fixed fight but Carlos and George did.
>>51179Then it's surprising that you can read, write and respond to questions.
>>50961Most, but some are wrong. Karate actually came from Savate instead of the other way around and Kalari isn't the oldest martial art.
>>50961tell me more about Karate Cults and dojo wars of the 70's>systema is russian propagandaNot a surprise>Ed Parker couldn't fightNot a surprise at all
>>52563>tell me more about Karate Cults and dojo wars of the 70'shttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Count_Dante#The_Dojo_Warstl;dr: Americans took the whole kung fu movie shit seriously.
Skateboarding in soccer shoes is fun. Honestly it's almost like being a gymnast while skateboarding in soccer shoes. Right now I'm skating in sambas which I find amazing to skate. Post your soccer shoes your skateboarding in.
>>35632Addidas are a death trap. Many basketball players destroyed their knees and ankles in them.
>>32914Sambas aren't great to skate in.I'll stick with vans.
>>50487I wouldn't blame that on the footwear
>>50421most slip ons even made for skating will rip after like 3 kickflips
>>32914BAAASED I skateboard in those
Is this the ultimate midwit sport? Or is it just a way for outdoors guys to try to one up rock climbers in their mating strategy? These guys claim to do it for the love of flying then they go do retarded stuff like proximity flying just to show off and try to impress people.
>>47739>Having children in this economy and legal cultureEnjoy getting divorce raped I guess.
>that video of the wingsuiting screaming and crying during a basejump because his faggot retard friend smashed the ground and diedlmao, then he releases it expecting sympathy and instead gets mocked for pushing well past skill limits and doing unsafe garbage
>>47515WS Base jumper here.It's a lot of fun. Like crazy mind blowing fun. The big issue with it is that you have to deal with wingsuit base jumpers. They tend to be insufferable ego driven faggots. They are usually more concerned with pushing the limits of how many cameras they can strap to their body than actually surviving. It would be a great sport if it wasn't for all the dress wearing faggots.
>>48742Damn that's a lot of work to jump off of shit

is there any footage of Rodney Mullen skating on pool or vert?
>>50435isn't the point of linux that it's free?
>>50370found this, haven't read yet but seems relevanthttps://stillskateboarding.com/2010/11/rodney-mullen-skated-vert-secretly/
>>50435>paying for software
>>50370Literally just type Rodney Mullen vert into YT.Damn kids these days. Also why the hell would you want to see one of the best freestyle skaters do something they're not great at? Like asking to see lebron play baseball. Just watch round 2 over and over, that's all you need to do
>>50395Linux is a kernel.
When did this become something exclusively for fat feminists?Literally anything posted online seems to be from fat blobs talking about how great it is to be fat
>>52347Real life isn't the internet. YWNBAW!
>>52365I don't think you know how to use the internet aside from 4chan.
>>52365>YWNBAW!Oh Jesus fucking Christ no. Not these retarded fucking abbreviations. The only good thing about /asp/ getting destroyed was these disappeared.
>>52242This is a problem but there is also a contingency of fat and weak people who are trying to bring positivity acceptance culture to the gym and claim shit like calorie restriction is self harm and that you don't have to squat to full depth if your body says not to, etc. At the core of this is an odd resentment to standards. That you can fail to measure up or succeed is a binary they want to do away with. "Anyway you want to work out is valid" "fat people can be exactly as healthy as skinny people", etc. These types of people aren't actually interested in self improvement. I think it's normal to find this annoying if you're someone who actually tries at the gym but at the same time you can just ignore it. Put your headphones on and lift your weights. You tend to only see this rhetoric online so just don't look at it.
>>52251literally the stupidest thing I've read all day

>>36113what gloves do you have?
>>52416Lol I had almost forgotten that place already. I left a few weeks after that post.I sparred with the coach once while in there. I'd say he had just a slight upper hand during our match but, first, I'm a kickboxer and kicks were my strong subject, I had never fought without it before; second he had a huge reach advantage, he's got 80 pounds on me too; third, it was after the class, so I was pretty tired while he had just stood there the whole class.I know for a fact I could beat him now, even with the weight difference.And something I didn't mention on my post because I noticed later: I threw like a thousand lead hooks in the time I was there and he would say it was great. A little after I quit the place I found out I was doing it completely wrong.
When was the last time you really threw down?
I fought all the time until I was 12. It was becoming a problem, but then puberty hit me really hard, and my self-confidence plummeted. I went through all of high school suffering from severe depression, and I've never fully recovered. My last fight was probably somewhere around 13 or 14. I've come close to fighting in the street with a bunch of drunkards a couple of times, but it never happened. Now I'm somewhat wishing the opportunity presents itself soon enough
>>52448What are you talking about?Like seriously cant i make a comment without some fucking retard like you coming and saying "hur dur dur bots smarter hur dur"Shut the fuck and choke on donkey dickHonestly if you think anything about stabbing someone that nearly kills them is funny go fucking die in a ditch
like 2 years ago. some nigger thought i called him a nigger when i literally said "fuck a bitch, cause i ain't about the pussy"i was very drunk and definitely shouldn't have said it. so yeah i didn't win. i took tae kwon do and didn't even try for a knee kick. if i wasn't drunk i probably would have stood a better chance but either way i fucked up. and yeah everyones got a plan till they get punched in the mouth.now i have very mixed feelings about niggers.
>>52489learn to type properly faggot
Mentally ill nigger attacked me while I was sitting against the wall talking to my buddy and he thought we were talking about him. He busted my buddy's eye and I took him down with a single leg, he fell right on his head and ass and that was it
For the Chinese Kung Fu and Wing Chun guys, especially those with crosstraining, I have a Judo and boxing background but my old boxing coach had a wing chun background. I finally made the plunge and got a wooden dummy. Any recommendations on how to get started with basic routines a noob could easily learn?
>>51601>>51601>Or is there some stylistic difference that goes with the difference in romanization?Not that I am aware of, but of all the obscure kung fu systems it seems to be the hardest to find reliable information about. It's almost universally taught incorrectly and extravagantly mcdojo'd. 99.9% of it's true utility is compressed into a set of movements that take about half an hour to teach, so instructors have incentive to make up a bunch of nonsense to retain students.
>>51605most of its utility isn't even in movement, but in the statics.
>>50687WC is about partner exercises but there is nothing in kung fu you can't also find in western martial arts. Kung Fu is pretty low level.
>>51109Even in kung fu, Xingyi does it far better than Wing Chun.
>>51601Yes the same, just different transcriptions.
>>19991Indeed
>>31903Yes.

>move to new area>only judo gym in the area closed down the past yearWhat do bros? I guess I could try to join a BJJ gym and see if anyone wants to drill throws during open mat, but not sure how much I'd improve just doing that.
>>52352>stoleHe reinvented the pedagogy and added pholosophical guidelines. Thats not theft thats dorect succession. In fact, despite his insistance on his art being called "judo" it was most often called "kano jujutsu" by his japanese contemporaries which is why the term survived overseas as brazilian jiujitsu.
>>52360Yeah no reason to do half ass judo. I would just immerse yourself in the BJJ game and expand your skill set. You can worry about adapting it later.
>>52360Take the opportunity to git gud at ne waza.
