trained judo for 7 years... was looking into branching to aikido since it seems to deal more with wrist/joint control than judo's center-of-gravity control.
Maybe I'll just go back to judo.

If you want to do something new do bjj or wrestling.
Mma gyms have no gi and will have wrestling classes.
Also it is cheaper if you do your striking there.

I've seen aikido training/demonstrations and it doesnt look that applicable in real life scenarios. Joint control just sounds retarded and has been shitted on by experts likes joe rogan.

If you want to stick to Asian martial arts then it seems that judo is your best bet. Just make sure your organization competes in competition and has accomplished practitioners.

Didn't mean to quote

I've been training Nihon Taijitsu for the last year. Pretty happy with it

How do I get into watching and becoming a fan of boxing? I don't watch TV and I don't know what to follow.

>>41744833
>What kind of martial art does /fit/ practice?
None. I took muay thai for 9 uears, and even taught it when my instructor would be on vacation or sick.

Just get a gun. Maybe take it for a year so you learn how to fight, or hell, if you live in some country where it's impossible to get a gun and everyone street fights like a 1980's movie, then maybe stay with martial arts forever, but from.my experience, the stories I hear about on the news, and vids I see on the interbutts, it's smarter, cheaper, and safer to just get a gun.

If you stick with martial arts, you are guarenteed to be injured. I ripped a hamstring, injured fingers repeatedly, hurt my shoulder, and those are the accidental imjuries. You will definitely get punched/kicked in the face. Does that happen a lot to you in real life? If yes, learn to fight with muay thai. If no, consider buying a gun. Plus with a gun, just HAVING it can avoid the conflict. With martial arts, you have to USE it first, and be successful.

In the near decade I spent in muay thai, not one single time have I been in a real life fight. I loce it, it's fun, but thinkong about it objectively, I could have bought multiple guns and avoided injuries that permanently changed me and hopefully won't get worse with age.

>>41747337
Start watching the new matches, even if you don't know anything about boxing and discussing boxing online.
Then pick a fighter you're interested in (let's say Mike Tyson)
Watch and read about his most famous fights, then dwell a bit into his opponents, watch their most famous fights, dwell into their opponent.

>>41747337
go to boxrec.com and you can see who the top fighters are currently in each division, upcoming fights, etc. most boxing forums will have caps of PPV fights like, the day after they happen, so go look at their video sections. youtube is a gold mine of old fights too. look for these, or more generally any of the fighters in these.

>>41747374

Thanks guys, I've really been trying to get into boxing for a while now but really didn't know where to start.

>>41747376
No proper way to start getting into it. You just need to accumulate knowledge over time. Even if you don't follow football or whatever your national sport is (american football or cricket I dunno), you probably passively knows about it from years of listening to the news as a child.
I know I never watched a full match of football or never properly learned the rules, but I know how it works from just watching the news and listening to people in discussion.

>>41747337
If you're not a fighter of some sort then you won't get to really appreciate the sport since you won't fully know what's going on. Start boxing so you can understand the sport.

Where to start if you want to become a fan of boxing is tough to say since there's so many avenues to begin with. Maybe watch YouTube channels focused on boxing news so you can get up to date with the sport. Join Facebook groups/pages. They usually share clips and there's discussion to be had there. Maybe look up boxers from your ethnic background/country.

The comments for videos have some cool recommendations for fights. /asp/ has a boxing thread of upcoming fights I think.


I like boxing but like watching MMA more.

>>41747410

Not that guy, but my entire family is into boxing because the only thing we have going for us Filipinos is Manny Pacquiao being a boxing champion.

>>41747429
The fights he had with Juan Manuel Marquez were amazing.

>>41747351
You need to be fluent in both fire arms and martial arts. To me it sounds like you sparred/trained too hard. That's a massive issue with strikers. You need to take plenty of time to rest, don't train that hard and tell your training partners to go easy. Especially if you don't plan to go pro.

I train in both striking and grappling forms of self defense but I still carry a knife and gun incase there's an aggressive animal or people with weapons.

Britfag so I can't carry guns or knives.

I started doing bjj recently though.

>>41747429
Kek that's funny to hear. I'm not Filipino but manny got me into boxing. His speed captivated me as kid when my dad put his fights on.

>>41747476
>That's a massive issue with strikers
The rate of injuries for grappling is much higher than in most striking art (except for Wing chun because your self esteem is always hurt by doing that turd)

>>41747487
Bjj is pretty great in a 1 vs 1 scenario. If I were you I'd learn some form of striking. You don't want the pakis to stomp you out while you're choking one of his friends.

>>41747499
The thing is that grapplers tend to injure their tendons,ligaments or back which don't have the same consequences as the head trauma that strikers endure such as boxers.

>>41747499
>this is what brain damaged striker fags actually believe

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_traumatic_encephalopathy

Wouls rather have bum knees than brain damage. EVERY blow you take to the head is damaging your brain.

>>41747516
>This meme again
Only pro boxer with decades of experience and hundreds of fights experience these head traumas. This is also not exclusive to boxing at all, pretty much any sport that has contact will have head trauma. Just look at American Football.
It is unfortunate and it does exists, but stop thinking that because you did 10 years of boxing as a hobby 3 times a week, you'll come out as a vegetable. That's soccer mom paranoid retardation.
>Did you know ? Most Marathon runners tend to have fucked up knees. We should stop walking

>>41747508

Yeah I will do eventually.

The bjj gym I go is one of the best in the country, and a few of the gyms that had striking too were either too far away or mcdojos.

I don't really want to be paying for a second membership either.

Once I've been doing this a while I'll branch into something else too.

>>41747540
>This meme again

Dude relax I'm not trying to attack grapplers.

>Only pro boxer with decades of experience and hundreds of fights experience these head traumas.

Just keep your mouth shut. Even amateurs and casual practictioners of boxing experience head trauma. The head gear doesn't completely protect you.

>This is also not exclusive to boxing

I didn't say it was. I just gave boxing as an example since the head is a big focus in boxing combat.

>That's soccer mom paranoid retardation.

Jesus you sound like such a retard. You've obviously never stepped foot in a ring or cage. Getting punched in the head isn't a joke and you need to take it seriously.

>>41744833
Keep on going. You'll gain muscles, lose weight and have fun. Go even if you're a bit depressed and don't want to. You need discipline.

I was severly overweight, I've only been doing muay thai for 1 year and I already lost 10 kg (22 lbs). I'm counting on you OP!

>>41745188
BS. I'm in France and haven't seen any muay McDojo. OTOH, krav maga has McDojos all over the world due to no sparring and being useless.

>>41746172
No, aikido is useless sadly even if it's good like yoga. Try BJJ or judo instead.

>>41744870
Haha fantastic

>>41747596
>The head gear doesn't completely protect you.

This.
It's funny how people think that head gear will save you from head trauma as if physics stop working when you put it on. Your brain still slams against your skull and down the road there will be consequences.

>>41745188

>judo lower tier than bjj

Lul

I just started muay thai as well and I fucking love it. I've only been in it a week though.

I can't seem to get my roundhouse kicks right. I know you're supposed to step in at an angle and then pivot, but it still seems like I'm kicking up, like in soccer. I have to turn my hips so my leg rotates instead, but I can't do it. It also doesn't help that I also land off balance as well.

Any tips?

I've been watching videos on boxing techniques and practicing with the heavy bag at my gym. I think I've almost got the basics down as far as punching goes. I just need to keep working in that and add in the extra footwork/movement later.

>>41748030
Keep training, you'll get it right soon enough. Train with a partner or work on it using the heavy bag. And don't be afraid to ask for advice.

Aikido works - if you train it 10 - 15 years and do the right style, you may get along with a lot of opponents. Aikikai is like Thai Chi - nice to see but mostly useless due to it's extensive moves. There is better styles.

Sign in a dojo I heard about:

"If you live in the city ten years, somebody might hurt you, and they might take your money. Come to karate class and we'll hurt you and take your money every week!"

>>41752575

The problem is aikido is practiced cooperatively, which turns it into folk dance. Once you've taken away the element of actual conflict between opponents, the human body becomes nothing but a 3d object you're posing in space. Anything is possible in compliant demonstrations.

Bring aliveness back into it and aikido looks like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eX0yseYpoBA
That's pretty much bad judo. Why not just practice good judo and do everything you learn against uncooperative opponents?

>>41744853
Jew Jitsu

>>41753740
I agree - to some extent. There is a reason why a good aikido dojo does randori. And then it depends on the mood and "house style" of the dojo.

>>41749808

>What kind of martial art does /fit/ practice?
Tai chi

Been doing it since I was 6 years old. Chinese family moved in next door when I was a kid. The grandpa was always confused, didn't speak english, and had pretty bad dementia.

I'd watch him from our porch in the back yard out back doing the forms. Seemed like the only time he wasn't confused.

He'd always smile and wave back at me and motion for me to join him. I eventually did. Never said a word. Only the occassional grunt.

Even when I graduated highschool and twice his size and a quarter of his age he could still put me on the floor if I got too cocky.

Mom called me halfway through my first semester of college to tell me he died. Still miss him something aweful even though we never spoke a single word to each other.

Someone hurts you in the street. It could be the last time you're ever hurt. Same applies for your family members.

In a gym, you learn, you work out, interact with people, etc.

Like Muay Thai. The only decent Escrima/Arnis is in the PH. You have to be really lucky to find a proper teacher outside said country. It's a shame, really.

alright, guess aikido may be too coreography-intensive for me. Though I don't mind some non-pratical philosophy and movements in class(as long as the instructor isn't a mullet-sporting mcdojo stereotype), it wouldn't do good to train something so hard to find good trainers for.

I train mma. I used to compete as but now just train with friends a few times a week. We mostly do some sparring.

I live in Europe and my MMA gym got some refugees from Iraq. I don't know what the deal was. Probably the local government paid the gym. They were arrogant and disrespectful (not doing what they were told on warmups etc.) When we started sparring with MMA gear there was this one guy who was super ripped and was throwing kicks hard. He first sparred with a younger guy and was throwing way too hard shots at him. Next round he sparred with me and was trying to knock me out. I went for a takedown and slammed him and then proceeded to beat the shit out of him in the guard. He clearly wasn't used to grappling so it was easy to control him and get some heavy shots in. After the training I never saw him or the other guys again. I am pretty proud of myself and feel like I did my part in keeping Europe safe.

>>41758228
