I'm looking to start practicing a martial art this upcoming quarter. I'll be signing up for instructional courses at my uni since they're cheap, so I'll be taking advantage of that.
Some background: I'm 21, male, olympic weightlifter in good shape. I've practiced ashtanga yoga for two years, so I'm pretty balanced and mobile.
My question, finally. I want to pick a really "technical" martial art, since I'm a perfectionist and thrive on that kind of challenge. Initially, I wanted to try aikido. But we don't have courses.
So, Muy Thai, Jiu Jitsu, Boxing, JKD, Judo, are the ones that I think are good candidates..
Any recommendations?

Do you want to learn to fight or not? Legit question, many martial arts do not teach efficient fighting skillsets but have some amazing body control, athletisicm, balance, acrobatics, etc

Thanks, took it on my blackberry 10, testing out the camera, lol.

Fair question. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't. I know Aikido is probably something that's essentially what you're describing.
Ideally, I'd love something that's balanced. High degree of athleticism and skill required, with a high degree of carryover in varied real-life situations.

Have any of you every dealt with patellar tracking disorder?
How did you fix it?
I'm doing a lot of quad/ITB stretching but haven't noticed a big difference.

I'm a fucking loser. I signed up to 3 different gyms in the course of my life, went for about 2-3 workouts each time, and quit.

Sign up to the 4th and make sure you don't stop going this time. Keep going.

I only managed to complete the C25K plan, and lost about 40 pounds because I starved myself, not because I ate correctly. What the fuck is wrong with me?
>>
You are a fucking loser. Keep wasting your money if you're not going to commit, stay a basement dweller fag. At least there will be one less person at the gym.
why is there so much negative propaganda about bulimia? i've been doing it for years and i have no issues.
who cares if it's "cheating" or if reflects a lack of will power.
i get to eat delicious food, and maintain my weight. win win.
what's the problem?

Why the fuck are you asking the fitness section of an italian cooking forum for medical advice?
The chance that anyone here knows what youre dealing with is miniscule and any advice you get is probably wrong, just go to a doctor.

So it feels sticky, but it's not when you touch it? What's the problem?

Work out harder, drink tons of water before bed, minimize hangovers, and don't skip a meal or the gym for booze.
>>
Stop drinking beer, ever. I hear people say vodka is good, personally I drink rum and diet coke. Don't go out to bars, drink at home because at the bar you're likely going to eat the terrible food.
You're probably better off if you stop it altogether, because it will kill your motivation and lead to some stupid setbacks. Coming from personal experience here, because I know it's not your goal to quit and I've had to work around this for myself as well.
>>
>>35375247
This. If you're too weak to address the problem then you can at least minimize and work around it.
How many drinks do you have a day? Use American standard drinks if you're unsure on what measurements.
