Bumping. Am a powerlifter but /fit/ needs these kind of threads instead of /pol9k/ shit.

Ive been getting into boxing recently and started sparring too, but i always find myself becoming really sluggish in the 3rd round, any advice on how to build that type of stamina?

>>40115139
Boxers traditionally do insane amounts of running, far past the point at which it's actually useful.

I've had success with swimming long distances, but YMMV. I'm a BJJ blue belt and my cardio is off the chain

>>40115030
New-ish BJJ student checking in. Decided to put my size to some use and found a nice local BJJ/muay thai gym near me.

>>40115030
According to that chart I should learn Judo.

Anyone here got any experience learning Judo? What can I expect?

PANKRATION MASTER RACE

>>40115478
There exist contemporary pankration schools? wut?

>>40115205
Expect lots of squats, and a martial art that is way more violent than it looks.

Why is BJJ always viewed as the expensive sport?

>>40115030
Doesn't include Bartitsu, the only contemporary martial art for the modern, cosmopolitan man with a steampunk aesthetique.

You chart's shit homie.

For cultural reasons, people tend to purchase lots of fancy-looking gis (uniforms). Some are admittedly good as fuck.

Furthermore, their gyms just tend to charge more. More rich people get into BJJ than, say, wrestling or boxing.

your better off learning how to use a knife or gun. Best way to win a fight is deterrence.

..This is actually a really good guide. For a bunch of dyel retards of the lowest level /fit/ really does deliver sometimes.

Got a fight set for April, just found out today, so excited. I'm going to spend all of my training working takedown defense and standing back up. I can already strike very well but have trouble with ground fighting.


Also, who's gonna win? I got khabib, I don't think Tony can 1 shot KO him and Tony is kinda sloppy so he'll get caught and mauled

>>40115682
I pay $125/month and bought 2 moderatly priced Gi's ($70), that also includes an MMA and muay thai classes should i choose to go. Am i to rich?

>>40115748
Yeah kinda. 125 is crazy expensive. I pay 50 a month and do no gi

I have my first Muay Thai amateur bout in May

Really interesting read

>>40115650
Because of the bjj culture. Boxing requires gloves, wraps and shorts.
Judo requires a gi, which generally has no logos and fits poorly because there are only 5 sizes for everyone, males and females included, but no one cares because baggy wizard sleeves are the norm.
If you train bjj, you typically have gis that are more form fitted, have different cuts and sizes for men and women, and this results the gis being more expensive because they don't have an economy of scale. Add that each club has a 'club gi' and rash guards with tons of logos, and things just end up being more expensive.

>>40115748
my old bjj place was $219/mo, $50 signing

Been doing Muay Thai and BJJ a while but it's very expensive to do in this country. The boxing clubs around here are much bigger and they are basically free, so I think I'll join it instead.

So....

Khabib or Ferguson? Personally I'd like to see le scary Islamic Russian man meme shut down

This might be more rungen but I find that when running I slow down and hit "the wall". How does one dig in and keep going?

>>40115951
I love both Ferguson and Khabib, but I've got to say besides Tibau I haven't seen anybody come close to beating Khabib. Tony doesn't seem particularly strong for a LW, but when Khabib gets his hands on you it's like he's two weight classes above.

>>40115952
Try picking a slower pace to begin with? Consistency is key. How long ago did you start running?

>>40115205
Buy one of those chinese oil lotion thing, prepare to massage it to your aching muscles after every training

>>40115510
This. Judo throws looks slow/gentle but surprisingly hurts alot

So what's the difference between an amateur program and recreational for boxing? If I just wanted to learn how to box and spar without that cardio fitness bullshit hen would I have to sign up as an Amateur?

Here's the gym. Your thoughts /csg/?

>>40116067
Been on and off with running

>>40116200
the frequency of women in these pictures makes me wary, but hey I'm openminded.

I'd take recreational classes if I were you until I figured out which combos work well, and have my 1s, 2s, 3s, 4s down. Then if you want to push your own pace sign up for amateur.

My common sense is kinda shitty.

What should I look for in a martial arts teaching center to make sure I'm not getting into a meme school.

I am looking for a Muay Thai school, I went to two places, one kinda small, there were no people at the moment, the trainer only gave me a "tour" of the instalations, not really much equipment.
The second one was bigger, more equipment and of course more expensive, the owner of the place didn't look that buff. And they didn't showed me the whole facilities, there were some people training but it looked like stupid exercises or maybe they were acting in front of the possible new students.

Wat do?

>>40116556
elaborate on stupid exercises

>>40116556
Go to whichever gives you the best vibe.
Sit in on a class if you must

I'm nearly 20 and want to join my local boxing gym and start fighting. My only worry is that I catch a nice punch and either die or brain damage myself, that or end up with Alzheimer's or Parkinson's. I'm also considering MMA, it's just the statistics I've read claim that up to 90% of boxer's will end up with brain damage, I'm not sure if I want it that bad enough. That being said I'd still like to condition myself so that I'm at my optimum for fighting if it arises, what should I do?

>>40117007
Those are pro boxers man. Unless plan on competing as much as possible you'll be fine. You won't get ko'd in practice unless you're gym us beyond horrible. If you do take a hard one just give yourself plenty of time to recover. A month at least before hard sparring.

>>40116862
When they showed me one of the areas of training there were three guys and one girl along a linked fence, or something that looked like a linked fence, they were knee striking the fence repeatidly, it looked like a stupid exercise because the fence wasn't providing much resistance.

They refused to show me the rest of the training areas. What the fuck? If I am a potential student, shouldn't I be allowed to see the complete instalations??

>>40117035
Why do some fight's use headguards and other's don't? Is that the difference between amateur and pro boxing?

What single muscle group most affects the power of a punch? Back, Chest, Arms, Legs?

>>40117204
definitely legs. Otherwise, core/lower back

>>40115030
lol

>>40115951
Khabib will win. Tony can slap that D'Arce on real quick, but Khabib will make him look like a Bantamweight.

>>40115952
Jump rope.

>>40115862
>>40115742
Good luck. We're all gonna make it brah.

>>40117140
Yes, it essentially is the difference.

>>40115594
This chart is legit af

When I talk wrestling, I mean clinch

Sorry to necro this post, but when being outnumbered by bydlo in a dark alley, what would be the best martial art to know?

Sounds like a con, if you really want to learn legit Muay Thai then go to Thailand or find an mma place that has pro fighters.

>>40117140
Theres disagreement about how useful headgear is. It will decrease the impact of shots, but because it makes you a bigger target you'll get hit more often. Typically I think that headgear should be worn for anything sparring over like 70%

>>40120524
Nederlands is pretty good too
