So, I've been doing boxing/kickboxing, etc. for a couple years. I'm looking for an art to add tricks to my kickboxing. I like throws and locks and such, but does Hapkido have any practical application?
>>1073445
not really on paper it sounds great but a lot of American dojangs that teach this style do compliance kata and no pressure testing of the techniques.
Since you're already a striker pick up some of the pressure tested grappling styles like judo, wrestling, bjj and sambo. If you really want something from east asia go get judo,
>>1073445
or do actually muay thai and get good at thai style clinching which would add a new dimension to your kick boxing with the setting up of knees elbows and takedowns.
I really want to do Sambo, but no one close to me has it. Hapkido was just because I happened to notice a place around me. I checked out their Facebook and they posted a couple a pics from competition, so I know they actually practice.
Guess I'll just search more diligently for Judo.
Thanks though!

I get that it's was just an overblown house show, but good fuck if they're gonna build it up like it's a ppv make something change. any fucking thing
I know
>>1072216
Why? They just marketed a house show as a mini PPV and sold it to viewers around the world. Game, Set, Match.
I didn't really expect anything at all to happen but I sure as hell hoped so. I definitely didn't expect Deano to walk out with the belt, nor did I expect him to main event Wrestlemania. I did however expect him to retain more dignity in defeat. Did Hunter really have to beat him with a single Pedigree while kicking out of Dirty Deeds?

BALL GAME
Shittsburgh anon reporting...
We keep getting advertisements for a six-man tag match: Reigns, Ambrose and Jeridad vs Brayy, Sheamus and I forget the third heel. I think Owens, I'm pretty sure it's not a second LoN guy at least.
But I have some fucking problems with this.
Isn't Jericho heel now? Why would he team with Dean and Roman after that Smackdown promo?
I was hoping for heel Roman interrupting Dean's match with HHH, but now everyone knows they're still friends after Roadblock. In all likelihood, Dean doesn't win the belt either.
It's safe to say New Day retain. Why the hell would Sheamus fight without his fellow tag champ one night later? Y'know?
And finally, whatever Brock does to Bray apparently won't be too brutal if they're putting Bray on against the top faces one night later.
Any thoughts? Any sign ideas?
I made a thread last night about getting tickets. I haven't seen that commercial yet but I'll look out for it. I really hope there's not a six meme tag main event.
The actual show almost never reflects the local ads.
On this week's show there was a local ad for Philly on the 21st with Jericho on the face side in a Six Man Tag (after he had turned). Pretty sure the ads are made weeks in advance, think nothing of it.
>>1067938
Whelp obviously they are putting Dean and regins on a team with a heel to cause tension between the two of them.
They are making the 4 way.

even after a decade of watching wwe this shit still pisses me off to no end.
I hate people who stand up after a Stunner. The Rock was the worst offender of this.
>>1077826
and yeah that match was shit 100% because of HHH
Saw your post in the general. No one validated your opinion so you post about it so someone will pay attention to you.
Why do wrestlers lie about their height?
HBK claimed several times he is/was 6'1 yet HHH claimed he was merely 5'10.
Pictured here with Shawn is his trainer Jose Lithario and according to wiki is billed at 5'7
now i don't have a ruler on me but is the difference from 5'7 and 5'10 that small? or is there some sort of smoke and mirrors trick going on?
Pictured again is another 5'7-5'8 wrestler standing next to HBK and the difference is small
and if HBK is wearing a suit he is also quite possibly is in his snakeskin cowboy boots
trevor murdoch was billed at 6'5 so in actuality shaving off 2 or 3 inches of height would actually make him 6'3-6'2 yet he towers over the both of them
conspiracy?
Don't really care to be honest
>>1074979
>is there some sort of smoke and mirrors trick going on?
HBK is wearing lifts in that picture.
Vince should've just stopped at 20-0 and had Undertaker retire. He would be epic for etenrity.
Now I could care less about Taker. Hes old and boring now.
His streak is gone and his Mania matches don't feel special anymore.
>>1074916
Couldn't. You couldn't care less.
>>1074916
I honestly got tired of the streak when Triple H challenged him for the second time.
>>1074923
Huh?
Ryback could disappear entirely from WWE tomorrow and almost no one would notice or care.
OP is a faggot
Wait, are we not having a state the obvious contest?

Jesus Phil this is like the 5th thread you've made this week trying to bash Ryback and the 5th time it backfired on you.

Can this fossil even wrestle without breaking a hip
>>1074015
Yes, of course. His neck, however...
Is Bryan gonna be on the show tomorrow?
They're in Pittsburgh.
>>1073622
Literally who cares besides you
>>1073622
Who cares?
Daniel Bryan would still be alive if he ate meat.
Does this shit actually work or does Jericho only shill it because DDP gives him kickbacks?
yes it works aj styles did it and it fixed his herniated disks
Lot of wrestlers endorse it, but Jericho lives to shill
I lost 40 lbs doing it and eating healthier
