And that's why people make fun of you, Wu: The more you want to seem bad ass, the more ridiculous it looks.
Be modest, train hard and if you have actual results (not based on self-reporting, but on actual facts like "I had 5 fights and won 4 of them") you can speak up.
While I think it's great that you started Judo and Boxing, why so impatient? You should do what makes you happy and don't care so much about what other people think about you. Even if you were only training in Tai Chi people would respect you if you just stopped making stupid claims how you knocked down this or that guy and giving out semi-smart-ass advice all the time.
The key is talking about what you have actually experienced, not about some opinion out of your ass. And saying "I just started, but personally I think I'm the hot shit" is definately the latter one.

a bunch of times. fights are honestly pretty easy, not even being tuff >:( about it.
guys don't guard their legs, I have ended almost every fight I have been in with a round kick to the knee
on one occasion it was a round kick to the knee followed by a thrust front kick to the body because fuck you
although two non kick occasions stand out where a drunk doofus grabbed my shirt and I literally did a self defense class lesson one wrist capture, control into shoulder lock
and another time a guy grabbed my nipple and that just really pissed me off so I hammered him with a fucking elbow clean to the side of his head and he went out cold.
Friendly reminder that Chris wiedman will be the new ufc champ once mcgreagor defeats Aldo.

What would've happened if John Cena was shot to death during or after the next Monday Night Raw? Hypothetically, of course.
>>744759
Literally No one cares about this faggy sport.
Delete this.
The arena would be evacuated immediated with the shooter detained. Any future Raws would be put into question immediately with the increasing risk to the wrestlers themselves, including the recent run-ins on the Shield guys.
After possibly a month or more of hiatus, they may start getting back into the swing of things. The United States Championship would most likely be dropped and they will try to continue as best they can, possibly trying to push Roman Reigns in Cena's place.

He'd kick out.
Hey /asp/, I'm a very inflexible person, and I want to change that.
Until recently, I only stretched after I jogged, and for example on the bend-down-with-straight-legs-and-try-to-touch-your-toes stretch, my fingertips only get like 10 cm / 4 inches from the ground, no closer.
I'm in my early thirties, never been very physically active aside from some light jogging. I'm pretty tall (197 cm / 6 foot 5 inches) and normal weight (90 kg / 200 lbs), although I still have a bit of a gut (22% fat according to a test I took recently).
I joined a local yoga class in the hope that that would help, but even though it's open for everyone, I have trouble with even the most basic exercises. For some exercises, I can't even assume the starting position or do the preparatory warm-up exercises. I'm still going to continue taking the class in the hope that it'll get a little better, but I'm hoping that there's other stuff I can try.
Do you guys have any tips, or links to interesting resources, about stretching, improving flexibility, ... Preferably aimed at (or relevant for) inflexible people like me.
Some extra questions :
Do your joints (and tendons etc) need rest after stretching, the ways muscles do? Can you do the same stretching routine every day, or is it better to do it every other day (or split it up, like that set of stretching exercises on even days and another set on odd days etc)?
It's generally best to stretch after you've finished exercising, as far as I know. Are there also advanced stretches (or advanced exercises) that it's best not to even do on the same day at all?
Or can I generally assume that as long as it doesn't hurt "too much" at that time, it's OK to do? (Because, at least in other areas, it's not that simple I think, for example muscles might need 48 hours of rest after heavy training, even though you might feel like you're ready to go after 24 hours, but that would result in far less optimal results).
Thanks!

>Do you guys have any tips
Stretch in the morning when you wake up and at night before you go to bed.
And keep it up, it's perishable. And coming from someone who was hyper flexible (can still do full splits, straddles are garbage now) if you don't continue stretching at least at maintenance levels you'll get really tight and be in a lot of pain (especially lower back because of tight hamstrings).

Thanks, looks like very interesting material! Much of it is way too advanced for me at the moment, but some of it I should be able to start practicing I think, and this way I have plenty of stuff to keep me busy in the future. And just knowing the English names helps for googling extra info :)
>>744668
Oh, twice per day, that's even more than what I was planning! The morning stretch will be hard to wedge in between getting up and leaving for work, but I suppose as long as it gets me to a decent level of flexibility faster, without harming me, it's worth giving it a shot!
When you're talking about having to keep it up, does that mean that if you become flexible and then lose it again due to neglecting your practice, you'll be significantly worse off than before?
Is that mainly because of the contrast with the period of good flexibility giving the impression of being worse off, or is it actual "objective" extra inflexibility or pain?
If, for some reason (sickness, injury, ...) you do neglect it for a while, how hard is it to work back up to a decent level (or your previous good level)? For strength or endurance, it's usually considered easier to get back to a certain level, than it was to get there the first time, but your comment would suggest that for flexibility, it might actually be harder?
I also thought of another question : how important is it to balance your stretching, both with itself (like flexibility in areas that are activated together for common movements) and with strength (like flexibility in a movement vs strength in the muscles that control the movement). And does that tend to become apparent automatically along the way, or do you have to really pay attention to it, to avoid negative consequences months or years later?
So after 6 years of fencing sabre I got bored and lacked training. HEMA was too... dishonourable for my liking so found a nice kendo dojo. After few weeks I got a set of bogu to try adjust to bouting with it asap but I can't even seem to follow training g for longer than an hour after the beginner and kat session.
I Ihit the gym every other day to increase actual str rather than pure dexterity atm.
Any suggested regime to add for me to get used to running around around and shouting in this strap of armour?
Thanks

OFFICIAL 2015/16 MARTIAL ARTS POWER RANKINGS
Based on combat effectiveness in a modern context. Tiered by the analysis of performance in competition, utility of syllabus and core principles. Martial arts featured on this list are present due to their fame and renown amongst the international martial arts community today - it would be impossible to list every martial art and its derivatives.
Not featured are weapons based martial arts, mostly due to my own inexperience with them but also due to the fact that it is hard to compare them to bare-handed styles. The weapons aspects of any martial arts listed are also, therefore, not counted.
VERY HIGH tier: Muay Thai, Western Boxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, Wrestling (and derivatives)
HIGH tier: Sambo, Sanda/Sanshou, Western Kickboxing, Kyokushin Karate
MIDDLE tier: Aikido, Krav Maga, Kajukenbo, Modern Army Combatives, Pencak Silat, Hapkido, Shūkōkai Karate, Taekwondo
LOW tier: Shotokan Karate, Capoeira, American Kenpo, Wing Chun, German Ju-Jutsu
Jujutsu, Tang Soo Do, Sumo
VERY LOW tier: Systema, Ninjutsu, Wushu, T'ai Chi Ch'uan
I really find it hilarious how you guys list sports at the top of your combat effectiveness lists
MMA is not combat, just so you know
I'd say enough Sambo belongs in the very high tier
>>743568
Please explain how and why while wrestling and Judo are in the Very High category Sambo is not?
Conceptually as well as practically I cannot understand your reasoning here.
Further, I can see how you may make an argument about MT using knees and elbows as well as clinch to put it in the Very High, but if you are going to put boxing up there what prompted you to have kickboxing as well as goddamn sanda in the lower tier?
Please do elaborate
Are there any youtube channels with practitioners who showcase their art properly without any mcdojo bullshit?
>>742557
TFW every college I see just does self defense societies and never spar :/
We had an ultimate youtube channel collection thread a few months ago

Hello /asp/! I'm working on an enemy guide for God Hand, a 3D beatem'up videogame. This might seem like a bit much but this game's combat actually boasts a rather deep system, so I'd say the naming is warranted to help reference.
I'd go to /v/ for this, however:
1) /v/ is not very cooperative or knowledgeable period when it comes to action games
2) The main purpose is to name these attacks, as I'm sure many of them though exaggerated are based on actual techniques.
If you could even so much as tell me what type of punches or kicks are being used in each gif/pattern, I'd very much appreciate it.
