>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:

>What is the Ultimate Self-Defense Championship?
A bit over a year ago, former Aikidoka YouTuber Rokas Leo set up a tournament with a self-defense "academy" to have himself and five other martial arts YouTubers compete to see who is best at self-defense. It was a hilarious shitshow that nearly crippled one of the contestants, Ramsey Dewey who would later get into an internet spat with the guy behind the academy (Jeff Phillips) and described the entire event as "piss poor" due to poor management, an incoherent and arbitrary scoring system, running on a very limited schedule, and timing events terribly (like having a zombie apocalypse-themed event that didn't influence score in the middle of the entire thing instead of at the end or something) and doing comically dangerous shit like making people fight on a narrow bridge a good 30ft above the ground.
Somehow, he kickstarted a second one, which features even less martial arts YouTubers.
I was talking to my muay thai coach about competing and he said that's one option but I'm probably good enough to just do some development day fights (muay thai rules but with all padding).
From what I can gather is "light" is meant to be hard enough to drop you if you get hit clean but not hard enough to prevent you from sparring the next day. It's kickboxing so no knees, elbows, clinch or catching kicks.

>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.

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

> Why kitesurfing is xs?
- Outdoors in natural beauty
- Available to all ages, fitness levels, men and women.
- Feels amazing flying through the air with power of the wind
- Introvert sport. Bros help you launch/land, but you're mostly on your own.
- Always new tricks to try and ways to improve.
- High "action to waiting" ratio. Sessions can last hours with no breaks.
- Undisputed coolest people on the beach (sorry surfers, but it's true). Everyone wants to be friends with the kiters.
How effective is this? Why would someone learn defendo over just going to a regular old MMA gym?
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.

You think having big muscles equates to strength. But it’s not. True strength, is in the heart of battle.
PROVE to yourself that you are strong. Really strong. You think you’re a fighter? You’ve never had a real fight. A fight… where everything is on the line.
PROVE to me that you’re STRONG. You’re not strong. You never were strong, and you never will be.
Unless, you prove to me, prove to yourself, that you really are strong.
This is my challenge.

The challenge that will prove, you are strong.
Go. Leave your house. Head to the nearest police station. Fight. Fight the strongest person you see, the strongest person in the room. You wont. You’re too pussy. You’re just a weak little bitch, just like the rest of the world.
Or are you? Do it. Go to the fucking police station. Fight the first police officer you see. Do it now. Right fucking now. Don’t waste any fucking time. I wanna see you bleed. I wanna see you in pain. Then, and only then, will you be strong.
Marathon but you can sabotage your opponents any way you want. Weapons allowed. Basically the Road Rash game but on foot.

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.

Consider the following:

> knockout/submission = 10 points

> first to 10 points, or with more round wins, wins the fight
I think it would be far more interesting if there were very diverse ways of winning points and different styles actually clashed with each other.
This also ends the notion that the Olympics ruins Martial Arts, since there will be no Point Judo, or Point Karate anymore, just Olympic Striking and Olympic Wrestling. As a bonus you could also add an actual MMA tournament with the best of both sides, but following the same rules.
It's light, and you can probably fight 3 or 4 times in this 3 week period if you are fully protected and you can win by just taking people down and pushing them out.

Zak Defeats Onosato to win Meiji Jingu Autumn Grand Festival Sumo Title
https://japannews.yomiuri.co.jp/sports/sumo/20241016-216802/
The sport of sumo, which holds such an eminent place in traditional Japanese culture, also has a strong connection to Shintoism.
On the day before the start of a grand tournament, the head referee, dressed in the robes of a Shinto priest, conducts a Shinto ritual. The yokozuna performs his entrance ceremony wearing a thick, braided rope around his waist that resembles the sacred “shimenawa” rope displayed during the New Year holidays and on other occasions.
Against such a historic background, ritual matches known as “hono sumo” are held nationwide in cooperation with major shrines.
Tokyo’s Meiji Jingu shrine has a particularly deep relationship with the Japan Sumo Association. When a wrestler achieves promotion to the elite rank of yokozuna, it is Meiji Jingu where a special ceremony is held to mark the occasion. Later, the new yokozuna famously performs his first ring-entering ceremony in the plaza in front of the shrine’s main hall.
Every year after the Autumn Grand Tournament, an event called the “All-Japan Sumo Wrestlers Competition” is held at Tokyo’s Ryogoku Kokugikan in celebration of the Meiji Jingu Autumn Grand Festival. The event has a long history, earning the title of sumo’s oldest tournament in Japan.

The highs are not really that high, but the lows go so far that I can't even see the bottom. A 20 min sesh can ruin my mood for the whole day, even leading into the next day, and the next. Yet no matter how much abuse I take I always find myself crawling back to the obsession.
Ive been skating for over 3 years, and don't get me wrong, I'm pretty okay, But not nearly as good as I want to be. I can literally count all my tricks on my fingers. Really fucking sad and annoying.
I've felt my progression recede, especially in the last year since summer of 2023. I used to fly down stairsets and gaps with steez. Then one day i spent like an hour straight trying to ollie a 6 stair that had a weird landing. Never stuck the landing; kept puting my foot out to catch myself. Ever since that night, i havent been able to do a stairset bigger than a 2. That was over a year ago. I can no longer progress it seems like. I've hurt myself so much doing such basic things that my body locks up and won't let me do anything I'm uncomfortable with. I get fucktards everyday telling me to "just commit bro" well it's not the fucking simple. Easy for them to say when they haven't multiple debilitating injuries.
For reference, I've injured myself to the point where it changed the course of my entire life (having to drop out of post secondary school).
I've thought about quitting so many times. But it's impossible to escape. All my friends/hobbies/fashion/ memorabilia is directly related to skateboarding. There's that thing people say, once a skater always a skater.
I hate skateboarding, but I'm addicted and I'll never quit.
Like John Wick incorporating Judo and BJJ or Silat in The Raid
Its the only thing in life going well for me
Been raining in england and only going to get worse for the next couple months and im not near any indoor parks. What do, just sit and wait and rot away?
All other hobbies are boring or expensive

How did you like judo at the Olympics? Favorite and least favorite moments?

CPU vs CPU chaos on Pro Evolution soccer is the autism. Will Bam Margera ever get his shit together? Can an imported model of Tony Hawk from THPS3 score a hat trick? Can rollerbladers do ANYTHING right?
Our roster is pretty unchanged since the first team was fielded. Thankfully, more actual random threads appear these days, including a lot more about combat sports. I'll post the roster below. Let it be known if there's any changes you'd like to see, or if you just like things as they are.
