>Where do I start?
People typically start in the gym and branch off outdoors and find their niche, be it bouldering, trad, sport or a mixture of the above. Some never leave the gym at all. Ultimately it doesn't matter - just get started and enjoy yourself.
>How fit do I have to be to start? Do I have to be able to do x amount of pull-ups?
Being light, strong and flexible helps at the higher levels but climbing is open to almost anyone and is fairly intuitive to most. Even if your body is feeble and weak now, you will develop strength over time by virtue of just climbing. Climbing is a holistic sport and success often hinges upon many factors, not just strength and power, but having these qualities definitely helps when you breach into the higher grades.
>What shoes do I buy?
If you're starting out in the gym, don't worry too much: get some snug shoes without dead space that don't cause you lasting pain. Some people (such as the famed shoe designer Heinz Mariacher) recommend wearing soft shoes when you're starting out -- this makes sense since your footwork will probably suck and the increased feedback will pay dividends over time. You really don't need fancy expensive shoes when you're starting out, but certain shoe properties help send harder problems (e.g. stiff shoes for standing on tiny granite edges or soft shoes for sandstone/gritstone smears).
Here are some useful resources for sizing:

FAQ on buying a bike that nobody reads anyway:
> What good bike can I get for under $500?
a stolen bike. Possibly a newer used entry level hardtail but don't expect it to survive rock gardens, jumps, or drops. Or an older mtb which won't be as good as newer ones and will still have a front derailleur, but it'll be good enough.
> What good bike can I get for under $1000
Good used hardtail, new entry level hardtail
> What good bike can I get for under $2000?
New Hardtail, decent used full suspension
> What good bike can I get for under $3000?
https://www.yt-industries.com/fr/produits/velos/capra/uncaged-10-al/602/capra-mx-uncaged-10/
Used full suspension, decent entry level full suspension but prepared to put more money into it.
> What are the excellent value brands?
Marin, Commencal, Canyon, Polygon, YT, Propain, Kona, and many more. Sometimes the expensive brands have an excellent alue bike
>> What are the differences between an XC, Trail, Enduro, and Downhill bikes?
XC bikes are for going up fast, go down not as fast. Trail bikes are for going up and down. Enduro bikes are for going down fast, and slower up. Downhill bikes are for going down really fast, needs a ski lift, truck, or the rider pushing it to go up.

What to look for in a martial arts gym:
>Physically conditioned, fit participants
>Trainer with certified professional record and a training history with at least one athlete who competes successfully
>Sparring, "aliveness" in training
>At least one participant competes at amateur or professional level
>Physical conditioning part of training
>Clean facility with mats that are frequently cleaned
What to be wary of:
>Fat, physically subpar students and instructor
>Graduation fees (e.g. "pay $200 and advance to next belt extra quick!")
>No proven athletes training there
>No sparring, moves shown are choreographed (e.g. "the attacker does this, then I do this, then you do this...")
>Cult-like atmosphere

Wanting to do some deep deco diving where ignorance of physics and gas laws might kill me. Has anyone started swimming competitively as an adult? I never pursued it as a kid despite enjoying it but have felt like beginning to train and taking it seriously. Obviously competing against others who've been doing it their entire lives leaves you at a disadvantage. Just wondering what other people's experiences are. The answer is IT DEPENDS whether the skill gap or the strength gap is bigger Are there any good MMA podcasts not hosted by basedboys? I used to like Co-Main Event but they became intolerably limp wristed along with everything else in 2017 and have only gotten cuckier. The other ones I knew about either had really annoying britbongs or were more interested in other sports and wasted my time. What the fuck is her problem? What is the best martial art for a pirate?

Therefore wouldn't the best martial art for street fights be one where the whole goal is to slam your opponent into the ground without falling yourself?

Last thread (next thread before 2026?)
https://archived.moe/xs/thread/127374 please find the place from the photo if it’s not difficult for you, the place is located in Kyiv, but there are only assumptions that it’s on Ozernaya Street Just finished rereading Teppu and All-Rounder Meguru after remembering a storytime on /a/ 2(?) years ago where some Brazilian dude got me into martial arts. If you browse this board, thank you you bastard, soon I'll be participating in my first competition.
Anyway, I'm looking for more stuff like this, I already read Ippo btw. Also, movies and other media are also cool Looking to start Judo pretty soon, but I have a major concern - not worried about bodily injuries as I know that sort of thing is expected in full contact martial arts. But how common are head/brain injuries, even if they are light? I’m talking concussions or any significant bumps to the head.
Anyone have any experience of this, or know how common head injuries are in Judo?
t. Physicist, need my brain for work I injured my wrist playing rugby back in May. After spending the last month and a half trying to figure out what was wrong (nearly all of which was spent in some sort of brace or splint), I finally got word on Friday that I have a torn scapholunate ligament that’s gonna need surgery to fix. The surgery is scheduled for 22 July. After the surgery, I’ll be in a splint for 2 weeks, followed by a hard fiberglass cast for 8 more weeks. I’m pretty bummed and have no idea what I should do with my time this summer. Any suggestions? I’d also appreciate any suggestions for dealing with a cast during the summer. Thanks. Lmao if I can deadlift 500lb I can just pick you up and slam you on the fucking ground, all you're little bjj and wrestling bullshit doesn't mean jack shit XD Thinking about getting into skateboarding. Is this a good starter board on a budget? If someone start graplling you can yoi just do this but with your teeths? I'm a 2nd dan black belt in Judo and brown belt in BJJ, recently my dojo closed down due to financial circumstances. I still want to practice and keep my skills sharp, could I hire escorts as my Uki's? I would put them under the pretense of wanting the girlfriend experience package but I'd just end up taking them to my home gym that has a tatami mat and tell them the deal.
Would they find this weird? I wouldn't hit any seriously big throws, just things like osoto, koshi guruma, ura nage, and of course I'd teach them breakfalls.
Thoughts? Why the fuck do so many extreme sports faggots bring up guns in any regard with martial arts? “Muh gun”, I don’t need to train. Faggot if you get attacked by a martial artist with a gun you are an inferior being in every regard. Kys ngmi twink. Not sure if this is supposed to go on /xs/ or /sp/, but what do you think of the sport? All I see on here is HEMA.
I'm trying to get into it and I'm looking to pick up some gear. I probably want to fence Epee. Any recommendations? The club has gear, but a lot of it is gross and sometimes not working, especially for left handed stuff. >Felix Baumgartner (German: [ˈfeːlJks ˈbaʊ̯mˌɡaʁtnɐ]; born 20 April 1969) is an Austrian skydiver, daredevil and BASE jumper.[1]

Modern skateboarding fucking sucks. Everyone skates like a robot: same tricks, same style (both clothing and trick execution), everyone at the skateparks are way too serious and tryhard. Nobody carves or has any real style, just the same in-line tight truck 5 approved tricks tried endlessly in a row.
How do we make skateboarding like 1988-1992 again? Bright day glo colors, giant ass fish boards with rails, tricks that are whatever the fuck you felt like doing that day and who fucking cares if you drag a hand or a toe as long as you surf out of it. People used to all have a sense of humor and goof around and improvise halfway through a trick, not stand around like soulless autistic robots and give up if the autism flip didn't land perfect in the sperg grind. And for the love of fuck, they listened to ROCK and METAL, not this horseshit faggot ass trap music rap bullshit.
Skateboarding used to be rad as fuck and whatever gay shit it is today isn't worth being around. I don't see any tricks around today that weren't being done back then, it just had more pizzaz then.
Like, watch this part and tell me you aren't 1000x more amped to skate than some bullshit dropped today: https://youtu.be/3c7XV-FC59k?si=RAAuO_Fu-BT8R2RF&t=21

Marathon but you can sabotage your opponents any way you want. Weapons allowed. Basically the Road Rash game but on foot.
Dodgeball with bocce.
Polo but with rodeo horses.
Water polo but the water is slightly acidic so your skin and eyes start to burn after a while and you can only get out (rotating with other team members) once you score.
Any motor sport but without brakes.
Soccer with bowling balls.
Squash but the room is so narrow and you can get hit by the other player's racket.
Basketball but the court is oiled. In a street fight, is it better to throw the first punch or counter? This is assuming you can't run, or kick because of the terrain. No weapons also.

Your Thoughts?
Predictions? Do you have power in your hands? What type?
Do you have that KO switch in your hands, like Mike Tyson or Jack Dempsey? Or do you have that thudding power, like George Foreman or Kelly Pavlik? And how did you discover it? what size dimensions should you use to design a skateboard graphic? does anyone know the standard width x height? it depends on the size of the board I guess... does anyone have some kind of chart? this is a long shot I know. but this is the only board I know that would have people that know about skateboarding to that extent. Want to participate in one of the most ultimate extreme sports? Come Skydive.
Either do a tandem for ~S220 (Don't get video you will watch it once or twice and it costs $120+) or go through AFF and jump with your own gear every jump ($~3600 for the first 8 jumps or so) Most jumps are $60-70 after that if renting gear, or ~$30 if you have your own.
Any questions? Ask away I'm an insutructor Tall half white half mexican freak girl savagely beat me up in muay thai class today.
I'm 5'6 while she's easily 6' plus. My nose was bleeding earlier today, one tooth from my upper jaw is loose, while my sides are still hurting from her roundhouse kicks. She humiliated me in front of everyone. I couldn't do shit, just fucking overpowered. She kicked my ass while wearing the most girly clothes possible, a pink gym skirt barely covering her asscheeks, black top with visible sports bra straps, and pink gloves. Our instructor fucking hates me, and I think he intentionally paired me with her to give her a good practice punchbag. She looks sexy though, when she bends, her ass looks shapely. Did we jump timelines again? How the fuck is this actually happening? Am I being fucking bamboozled? I know the japanese tourism and animation industry have a lot to thank toriyama for, but something underrated is how much the martial arts industry has to thank him for
fact is it wouldn't be nearly as popular of a hobby as it is if this show never existed since it's the thing that inspired so many kids to get involved
so ITT we will discuss all things related to our training and self improvement and helping each other
exercises, training routines, diets, motivation, etc.
work hard, study well, and eat and sleep plenty >spend 30-40% of time on practicing takedowns and 60-70% on practicing ground game intead of 10% on takedowns and 90% on ground game
>start sparring on foot rather than on knees
>give -2 points for guard pulling in competitions
>Legalize slams for brown and black belts. And if you're scared to do it, instead ban jumping guard.
>legalize heel hooks for brown and black belts in gi, just like you did in no gi like what the fighters do How well can I apply Muay Thai sweeps, dumps, and throws. What are the Judo versions of these ones in particular:

I didn't know if I should post this in either /judo/ or /thaig/ so I making this thread. which board does footbag belong on? I'm just starting out. Decided to document my progress.

Anyone good, My record is 8 kicks with the help of the wall and 6 outside. I cant seem to stall the bags I have tho. What are your favorite footbasgs? >when putting wraps, you should avoid wasting it wrapping around your palm as you only want to protect your outer hand
Why? The purpose of putting on wraps is to tighten you hand as much as possible so you won't bust any of the 28 bones you have in your hand when you punch. Most of these small bones are located in your palm area. Yeah you should obviously protect the knuckles, wrist and thumb, but also your fucking palms. after analisys of over 300hours of video it was found that 96% of fights are only punching in the face/head
learning boxing is the most important skill for self defense
do not let anyone get close to you either, if you lose control of the distance atack first. Not fan of Jake Polio but he will whoop ass of this nigguh Tyson Insecure 5'9" dude here. If you could only pick one martial art as a manlet for self-defense on da streetz (like a rando walks up and wants to beat the shit out of you) what would it be? The only gym near me offers either Muay Thai or BJJ I know regular Wing Chun isn't at all useful in a real fight, but what about this form of it? Anyone heard of this thing? Is doing nature-based extreme sports with "inappropriate" weather conditions a true extreme sport? Is it considered by some as legit, a fringe illegal sport, or just plain suicidal?
white water rafting at a rainy night, climbing mountains in winter when it's raining ,free solo when it's windy or rainy or moon-less night, even urban exploring with 0 previous research \tech\ emergency calls or beepers on you, etc
Is this just suicidal? if it IS: why don't the (we know there's many) suicidal extreme-sporters do this more often? SPAZ Edition

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_issues_in_airsoft Is it possible to be strong enough to squeeze and submit someone on the ground the same way a constrictor snake can kill its prey? THEN why are bets allowed on this fight?
How can a fight be notoriously fixed with money matters behind? It's would be illegal, they would get sued.
So i believe it's not fixed... I want to believe.. it's not fixed. Have you found any transferability or utility from a grappling martial art like Wrestling, Judo, BJJ, etc. in full-contact team sports like Football or Rugby? Neck bridges
Good or dangerous? This is harder than I thought and I get easily knocked out. When I got punched more than once at the same time I start disorienting and I immediately lose. Any tips? I was at a bar and some dude out of nowere headbutted a friend of mine. I stepped in to sepparate them and got shoved by the guy who headbutted him. After getting shoved I froze, I couldnt move, i was afraid and couldnt react.
Up until now i thought i could avoid getting in fights by just being chill. I never thought someone would attack unprovoked.
This made me seriously consider going to a boxing gym. Would this make me not freeze in situations like this? Is boxing a good combat sport to learn to defend yourself? Any anons have had a similar reaction get fixed by training? Is he the GOAT martial artist? Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu General

Sucker punching works too well What's your favorite martial arts movie? Is it possible to just never get good at a sport?
I always wanted to drift. I used to rip the e brake in snow and dirt but I just suck at it. I bought a simulator setup and been using it for years and I never get better.
I can barely drift around one wet corner. I just don’t think I can get good at it i never know where the cars gonna go until I hit the throttle and I’m already sliding out of control. Free Livestream

>Where do I start?
People typically start in the gym and branch off outdoors and find their niche, be it bouldering, trad, sport or a mixture of the above. Some never leave the gym at all. Ultimately it doesn't matter - just get started and enjoy yourself.
>How fit do I have to be to start? Do I have to be able to do x amount of pull-ups?
Being light, strong and flexible helps at the higher levels but climbing is open to almost anyone and is fairly intuitive to most. Even if your body is feeble and weak now, you will develop strength over time by virtue of just climbing. Climbing is a holistic sport and success often hinges upon many factors, not just strength and power, but having these qualities definitely helps when you breach into the higher grades.
>What shoes do I buy?
If you're starting out in the gym, don't worry too much: get some snug shoes without dead space that don't cause you lasting pain. Some people (such as the famed shoe designer Heinz Mariacher) recommend wearing soft shoes when you're starting out -- this makes sense since your footwork will probably suck and the increased feedback will pay dividends over time. You really don't need fancy expensive shoes when you're starting out, but certain shoe properties help send harder problems (e.g. stiff shoes for standing on tiny granite edges or soft shoes for sandstone/gritstone smears).

Why would anyone do this? Thoughts? Should it be more popular? Should this bloodsport be the next big thing internationally? Hello, I'm a skydiver and I'm very interested in climbing wind turbines. Are there people who have already done so and have advice to give me I want to do some sort of martial art but there are only judo places and an MMA place nearby, the MMA place focuses on BJJ, kickboxing and catch wrestling, they are part of the Zé Radiola team and some jap jiu jitsu org so I don't think it's a mcdojo at least, no clue how to check if a judo place is a mcdojo or not tho.
I'm mainly worried about tearing an acl due to my fatness. Name a dumber sport than this. Thread for Judo (other jacketed wrestling styles welcome)

Previous thread: >>187782 Pickleball kings, assemble. Post your dinks.
Tenniggers stay out.
In DnD, whenever I play, I absolutely hate when players who choose a martial class don't add flavour to their attacks. "I hit him with my sword 3 times", "I punch him twice" is the most you'll get out of them. I hate it even more when the DM does it or when when the DM doesn't allow accumulative damage in games if you target a specific area with enough strikes. I get that the dweebs at WoTC only put barely half the effort of making martials viable in high levels with the battlemaster fighter subclass, but do NONE of these guys have love for the "ART" part of martial arts? Theres so much flavour you can put, like if a player goes for an elbow to the face enough times there will be a cut above the eye that now gives the opponent a disadvantage on perception checks and attacks due to not being able to see. Or hell implement ANY sort of good ruleset for how grappling arts can be used in game to help break limbs, throw enemies to the ground or completely isolate/submit opponents. Or if the player makes a high enough dex check with a weapon once per the enemies turn, they can immediately parry and get a quick strike in.
Maybe this is the price I pay for being into martial arts and dweeb shit at the same time but holy shit is it ever annoying. Especially when no one seems to want it changed. How long do I have to practice grappling for until it stops leaving bruises? how many untrained male average joes could a competent striker get through in 5 minutes compared to a competent grappler
