Fuck 'em both.

Russo. Cornette is a crybaby nutjob.
Both are guys who are out of touch and whine all the fucking time. Neither are worth standing with.
My friend and I are doing fantasy booking competition. We book a show(I do Raw and he does Nitro) and we have a couple friends decide which show they'd rather watch throughout the 2 hours.
What do you think of our rosters? What matches would you book? And do/have you guys ever do/done anything similar to this?

So I practice Chen pan ling 99 form taijiquan. I want to know how do you reach the skills of:
Chen ziqiang
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dTP16HPFMms
Chen Zhonghua
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WjjiJbPOdR8
More Chen ziqiang
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lk-OITQqHP8
I love the taiji concepts and aesthetics, how do you make them workable in fighting.
>>1453198
ho boy, before you get torn apart here I'll say this. In most of these they are working with their students. working with a skilled grapplier in freestyle is another matter.
having great internals does not make you a fighter, fighting is a separate skill, which is why the best internal arts encourage free style training against people who know what they are doing at high levels.
>>1453249
I think the Chen ziqiang vid is ok for freestyle.
Sure, but I want to use taiji flavor, which is very rare to find with decent fighting. mixing too many pots isnt what I'm going for. I do study other stuff and spar, but in intrigued by how these guys keep their root so well and keep the form in fighting.
>>1453275
Its been talked about before, he is not attacking with the skill or aggressiveness of a good wrestler
rooting can be done sprawled out on a mat, its just trickier without gravity as a guide.
If you want Pure tai chi you should start with push hands, and then when you can throw people around with fa jing like the top guys in chen village, or at least a half-decent imitation of them, then consider going into free style with it against people who dont believe in fa jing and dont care who your teacher is. Sanshou would probably be more up your ally in this regard because you wont have to deal with alot of ground work.
So lately after martial arts class I gas out pretty easily. I got a toe injury and it's a little hard to work out with it, but I'm used to having superior cardio. How do you train fight cardio? I do sprinting, push-ups, stairs on weekends and work form on weekdays.
Bump man wrestling has really made this board go to shit.
>>1453172
Spar with a new opponent per round.

20 seconds on, 10 seconds off. If you've got a toe injury (I get them all the time), work with a bike.
Also, if you're having gassing problems, and you have good cardio usually, your trouble may be breathing.
Post some gimmicks you'd like to see. No matter how dumb or bad for business they'd be.
I'd like the WWE to rip off Kenny Omega and give somebody a move that stops time. Or a psychic moveset where he forces his opponent to attempt a high spot onto an empty mat, beat themself up fight club style, or attack their tag partner.
I would also love to see a mastodon monster heel with a high impact finisher like a jackknife powerbomb who pins opponents Jericho style, with just one foot on their chest as they lie broken on the floor.

>I would also love to see a mastodon monster heel with a high impact finisher like a jackknife powerbomb who pins opponents Jericho style, with just one foot on their chest as they lie broken on the floor.
Rusev could do this well if they gave him a good impact finisher.
They could just make his Gunnslinger that finisher, he does it better than Gunn himself did.
>>1451902
Sheamus, Becky and Finn with an IRA gimmick
>This week’s TNA Impact Wrestling episode, featuring the much-hyped “Final Deletion” match with Matt Hardy vs. Jeff Hardy, drew 410,000 viewers.
>This is up from last week’s 322,000 viewers and the week before, which had 304,000 viewers.
>This is also a new record for first-run Impact airings on POP TV, up from 359,000 viewers that an episode in May drew

If they were still on Spike they'd be at a 2 right now.
Hey /asp/. I've decided to train me some knockdown karate, because I used to do tkd and I want to do something similar but, y'know, less daycare oriented.
I have these two schools near me. They're both give or take equivalent in price and the transport to either is the same:
https://oneillkyokushin.com/
http://kyokushinbrisbane.com/
I'm leaning towards Garry o'neil because he seems to have more of a competitive record. Is there anything else I should consider? I have no idea what determines "quality" amongst the different kyo branches.
Also, given that /asp/ is so chock full of wressling, this can serve as a knockdown karate general.
>>1445363
I wish there was a kyokushin karate dojo near me :( Id love to do karate but the only karate dojo within 100 miles is wado-ryu
>>1447066
I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with wado-ryu as a style
>>1447122
It's the sparring that puts me off, it's point based isn't it? I do bjj currently but I've always loved the idea of karate
So he's basically healed by now. Are they just waiting for the brand split to bring him back on screen or has the ball been dropped?
there was never a ball to drop
Literally who is this
>>1435873
Is he healed? He was on NXT a couple of weeks ago and said it would still be some time.
Since there was more interest in the Hema thread I am starting another Asian sword arts thread
>>1416757
>>1416771
>>1416786
>>1416820
>>1416838
>>1416881
This covers all armed martial arts from Asia and the pacific islands.
Questions or comments about kendo, kenjutsu, Chinese sword and pole arms, Filipino sword arts, and anything more exotic are welcome here
why always with the swords? I'm more interested in a kanabo
>>1417118
According to this
http://www.koryu.com/guide/shindo-yoshin-ryu.html
takamura ha shindo yoshin ryu practices testubo, though Ive never seen them publicly discuss it
>>1417100
Well I watched the UWM stuff, and its as bad as everyone says. mildly entertaining, but what sword art teaches you to block blades with your arm? or doesn't count chest blows because "not enough force"
Let me take a shot at your arm or chest with any sharpened blade, and lets see if you feel like continuing?
And thats aside from all the other reservations I have. Did they really need a "I'm so tough/shit talking session before the match?

Whats with all this false flagging after the fight?
no us UFC fans are not angry Brock won, the better fighter won fair and square.
and its not something new either, Brock has won many MMA fights, its not a big shocker.
i wasnt rooting for either fighter btw. though i was intrigued how brock was gonna overcome his fear of getting punched/mark was gonna overcome brocks amazing takedowns
