>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.

A true martial artist primarily cultivates and masters his mind, and in his martial life, he will only wear a rope around his waist and eventually a black belt after long years of mental, physical, and martial training.
tell me why I shouldn't do paramotoring
>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:

>https://rockrun.com/blogs/the-flash-rock-run-blog/rock-climbing-shoe-sizing-guide
>Do I need Magdust/Rugne Gear?
No, most chalk you find will be good. Mammut is older, cheaper, and as reliable as they come.
>Do I need to start hangboarding?
Hangboarding is a tool used to improve climbing, but you likely won't *need* it until you've climbed for 2-3 years. Even that's generous. Just climb.

>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.
There are three disciplines in fencing, each represented by its own weapon, set of rules, and target area.

I used to do iron tiger and choy li fut when I was a kid for about 3 years.
I happened to mention this to some dude at the gym the other day when he asked me about what sports I have done, and he invited me to this martial arts mma thing. At first I was skeptical since I never expanded on Chinese martial arts, and lets be honest boxing is more or less worthless against anyone who knows how to use their legs or grapple.
He reassured me by saying everyone there had poor stamina, especially compared to me and everyone else at the gym. I felt like maybe I wouldn't get hurt as bad as I thought, at least not anything serious, so I accepted.
Today he tells me that some of the people there have years of experience and some of them are even professional competitors.
Guys, I haven't practiced any basic martial arts for over a year. Besides boxing, if I tried to do any iron tiger or anything, I would fuck it up. Should I just pussy out?

I love surfing and I've tried it once. But I'm basically landlocked. How might I find one I like, and I'm overweight and non athletic so what are some sports with lower bars for entry until I get into shape? Any off the wall ideas rather than bikes, boards, the common ones?
Now, how much of an advantage would a 7'6, 500 pounds of lean mass giant who can deadlift 505 kilos raw as part of his warmup have against other opponents? He would look like something from DBZ. I imagine he wouldn't have to be nearly as skilled to be super successful.

This is a variant of do-jime (banned judo technique but legal in BJJ and MMA) where you have an opponent in closed guard and squeeze your knees on their floating ribs.

Marathon but you can sabotage your opponents any way you want. Weapons allowed. Basically the Road Rash game but on foot.
Dodgeball with bocce.

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.
Extreme? Yes or no?
Where are you at with your training? How have you been working around the limits of weather and lockdowns? How much do you apply the utilitarian Hébertist mindset of being strong to be useful to your training routines?

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.
I've practiced in various styles of Eskrima for over 6 years now, and it's my favorite style of the ones I practice. I do JKD and MMA too.
I've mainly done Inosanto Kali at my JKD schools, but I've also dabbled in Balintawak, Serrada, Lightning Scientific Arnis, Illustrisimo, Modern Arnis, and Pekiti Tirsia with a variety of different instructors. It is my dream to go to the Philippines to train with the masters there, and become an instructor myself one day.
>What styles of FMA have you practiced, if any?
>Which weapons do you favor, for either training or EDC?
>Do you feel that Eskrima has value in a modern context, and/or is valuable for self-defense?
I know the last question there will probably generate some controversy but I think it's necessary to welcome constructive criticism as a practitioner of any martial arts. I think a lot of people see the flow drills and disarming techniques and think it's an unrealistic way to practice, which is kinda fair, although I also think that there's a common misconception there because the cooperative drills are used to develop certain skills in a controlled way before eventually learning to apply them in sparring. Most martial arts include these types of cooperative exercises for building attributes and isolating certain skills, such as holding pads, glove drills, etc. Yes there are issues with Eskrima skills not sparring enough, which is a common problem in many martial arts schools, but there are also many legit Eskrima schools where we wear the armor and actually beat eachother with sticks and training knives. I see both cooperative drilling and sparring as necessary components to becoming a proficient martial artist.
If you think Eskrima is bullshido, I respectfully disagree, but you're allowed to have your view. All I ask is that we keep it civil and try to have a rational, productive conversation about it.

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
>Clean facility with mats that are frequently sanitized
What to be wary of:
>Fat, physically subpar students
>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
>long mandatory contracts with hefty fees for breaking

Not many places to talk about it.
I know some people think belts are useless but they have their pros from a business/teaching perspective for the feedback and the extra money lol Regardless, I am curious, of all I've seen BJJ's seems to be the one that makes the most sense
Half the sports on this board might be "extreme" but not actually dangerous.
hello boys.
I've been passionate about this shit since 2019. got into it by watching it on youtube during covid, and as soon as i could travel i went to costa rica by myself with a pole spear from amazon.
Now i've speared in costa rica, both coasts of colombia, all through the bahamas, mexico, and the dominican republic.
I'm toronto based and looking to connect with other spearos who either live by the water and know spots, or like to backpack with spear in hand like i do.
My pb fish is a 29 pound big eye trevally. I also have had a lot of hairy encounters with sharks, (ALL in the bahamas), and i basically lived off what i could spear for 3 months aboard a small sailboat in the bahamas.
So who's out there? where are you based? whats your all time pb?
So what should I expect as a noob? Also, what are some tips for starting out?
His failure as a yokozuna will be remembered forever

Surely others are in this same situation, i.e. don't like team/ball sports, prefer something like martial arts but can't do it anymore
What sport should I do?

Why do they always fall for the cape trick?
Don't they realize that the matador's legs will always be beneath his torso and that attacking the cape is a chump move?
Why are bulls so low IQ?
Let's rectify that.
Best dive sites? Hairy or funny stories?
And the obvious question, what's better? PADI or SDI?
Here's an Australian Scuba FAQ until we make our own

A boxers garb has no signals to represent ones proficiency. So what would an amateur boxer have to look like, perform, and demonstrate his proficiency in order for a coach (or an experienced boxer) to think that person could defeat a larger, stronger but untrained opponent?
So I wanted to get some opinions here. Which games out there have the best wrestling mechanics?
I'm not talking about fake WWE stuff. I'm thinking more of those semi-realistic MMA titles, where players 1 & 2 usually wind up rolling around on the floor.
I don't think many horror games would be improved by a full-on multiplayer-level wrestling system. But it could still be an interesting place to start from. Any research suggestions would be welcome.

> 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.
I've trained (alternating) combat sports and weightlifting for years now and find myself at an impasse of what to focus on right now.
When I left lifting my PR's (at 5'11", 180lbs) were:
- Squat: 365
- Bench: 195
- OHP: 135
- Deadlift: 415
Been doing combat sports for the last ~3 years and have competed in and placed (bronze lol) in local competitions. Have vastly improved cardio and lost weight (mostly bodyfat eyyy) -- now weigh 160lbs.
Issue is now I feel more agile but more fragile and i hate it feeling so vulnerable (primarily to injury), even if i can beat up guys who weight 200+ lbs.
So, what are /fit/-izen's opinions of weighlifting (starting strength, texas method) vs. combat sports (sambo)? Particularly for health & overall ""performance""* (whatever that means).
For some context, I live a demanding life that asks a lot of me not just physically*, but especially with respect to my time, hence why I can't train both seriously, but can occasionally do quick side workouts (running, calisthenics)
*endurance probably the most important/required quality, but strength & cardio (e.g. running sprinting) close behind
ONLY blocks and evades.
MAYBE some holds or locks but ideally just defense.
>inb4 running away
Yeah yeah I get it but still please.

Jon Jones get's really mad and accepts the Aspinall fight.
Loses to Aspinall by TKO in R2.
Becomes like McGregor.
An MMA promotion , but a little different. The fight is set in a stadium and there are no rounds, in fact there is no time limit.
Two fighters enter maybe they fight and finish at the very beginning, but maybe the other runs when he feels at a disadvantage. will the other one be able to catch up? maybe the stronger fighter knows he won't be able to catch the faster fighter and saves his energy, then they both wait. Who will go to sleep first ? will they wake up as the other fighter steps towards them at 4 a.m.?
It could be called extreme real fighting.
It seems to me that for this kind of fighting , the best kind of phenotype would be a 5'7 endurance athlete. a 6'4 240 lb man might be able to function and stay awake for 4 days in a flight or fight situation, but 6 days or a week? enjoy falling asleep and waking up to 170lbs jumping on your face or throat heel first just for him to run away before you can gather your wits, knowing you can't catch him and he;s going to do the same thing when you fall asleep in a few hours again and again.
Looks like you're the one who;s going to get heemed, lanklet.
I’m currently weighing the options of doing the surgery now and ruin my upcoming vacation and part of my summer, or later and ruin my whole summer.
Either way, I won’t be doing much for a very long time. How do you stay sane while you’re healing from injuries?
>the other students, Soke, will for sure believe in all this..I'll play along and, keep my mouth shut
Bujinkan is the most popular\ biggest one, but a bit lame unless you're a high-tier Soke? Koga and Iga ryu seem much more obscure and, thus, fascinating.
No getting mogged by chad hahahaha!!! No being bullied by 6'2" 230lb chad and having chad cuck all the bros taking all the girls for himself hahahaha.
