Is there any ice skaters here? Figure, dance, speed, freestyle, or even hockey can be included.

Not many places to talk about it.

/spearfishing general/

hello boys.

I've been passionate about this shit since 2019. got into it by watching it on youtube during covid, and as soon as i could travel i went to costa rica by myself with a pole spear from amazon.

Now i've speared in costa rica, both coasts of colombia, all through the bahamas, mexico, and the dominican republic.

I'm toronto based and looking to connect with other spearos who either live by the water and know spots, or like to backpack with spear in hand like i do.

My pb fish is a 29 pound big eye trevally. I also have had a lot of hairy encounters with sharks, (ALL in the bahamas), and i basically lived off what i could spear for 3 months aboard a small sailboat in the bahamas.

So who's out there? where are you based? whats your all time pb?

this guy is a big faggot and seems to completely disregard the concept of style.
he can execute tricks at low speed and thinks that he has the right to judge someone going 20mph at a ledge and having to twist their body or touch their hand to the ground (which is rad btw) when they land.
big faggot.

🧵 Starting Muay Thai

Anonymous No. 227295

I'm 18 and the city I'm moving to for college (I'm in the US) apparently has a good muay thai gym. I want to start training but I'm concerned about the physical capabilities expected of a new student; I don't want to look retarded. I lift regularly and do some cardio here and there but I don't think I'm in great shape; I'm not very flexible either. I've heard that muay thai gyms make you run a lot and I'm especially shit at running. I have some martial arts experience, having done BJJ for the better part of a year, if that's applicable at all.

So what should I expect as a noob? Also, what are some tips for starting out?

The small and mighty board of /xs/ has its own Football squad that competes in an inter-board digital tournament. No players, just computer on computer violence. It's a chance to show the bigger boards that even if /xs/ is slow, our incredibly niche extreme hobbies are cooler than their gacha slop.

After a stale roster for a few years, there's some proposed roster updates. If you want your flavor of autism represented, or what the fuck I'm on about, yell at me in a reply. Or approval if you want a player to stay on the roster.

🧵 Video games with best wrestling mechanics?

Anonymous No. 226202

A lot of horror game monsters just try to grab you when they attack. And it's made me wonder whether there's a better way for players to struggle against that sort of thing, aside from button mashing.
So I wanted to get some opinions here. Which games out there have the best wrestling mechanics?
I'm not talking about fake WWE stuff. I'm thinking more of those semi-realistic MMA titles, where players 1 & 2 usually wind up rolling around on the floor.
I don't think many horror games would be improved by a full-on multiplayer-level wrestling system. But it could still be an interesting place to start from. Any research suggestions would be welcome.

🧵 Strength Training vs. Combat Sports??

CaptchaForever No. 226096

Crossposting from /fit/...

I've trained (alternating) combat sports and weightlifting for years now and find myself at an impasse of what to focus on right now.

When I left lifting my PR's (at 5'11", 180lbs) were:
- Squat: 365
- Bench: 195
- OHP: 135
- Deadlift: 415

Been doing combat sports for the last ~3 years and have competed in and placed (bronze lol) in local competitions. Have vastly improved cardio and lost weight (mostly bodyfat eyyy) -- now weigh 160lbs.

Issue is now I feel more agile but more fragile and i hate it feeling so vulnerable (primarily to injury), even if i can beat up guys who weight 200+ lbs.

So, what are /fit/-izen's opinions of weighlifting (starting strength, texas method) vs. combat sports (sambo)? Particularly for health & overall ""performance""* (whatever that means).

For some context, I live a demanding life that asks a lot of me not just physically*, but especially with respect to my time, hence why I can't train both seriously, but can occasionally do quick side workouts (running, calisthenics)

*endurance probably the most important/required quality, but strength & cardio (e.g. running sprinting) close behind

lets say your walking down the street and u bump into a guy. one things leads into another your granted a fair 1v1 no weapons only limbs. (kicks and whatnot allowed) but you cant back out. what kind of clothing would be best? would you regular street wear help you? i usally wear a nike tech fleece very breathable and moveable material and typical sneakers. only thing that might through me off is if im wearing some jeans that day. i think perfect fighting outfit would be a good sports tracksuit like the nike tech suit and some sort of sneaker that u can grip the floor in and kick with but thats not too limiting. on the foot

Anonymous No. 225840

I was recently diagnosed with a scaphoid nonunion and need to have surgery soon to fix it. It’s going to put me in a cast and out of commission for several months.

I’m currently weighing the options of doing the surgery now and ruin my upcoming vacation and part of my summer, or later and ruin my whole summer.

Either way, I won’t be doing much for a very long time. How do you stay sane while you’re healing from injuries?

🧵 FMA: Filipino Martial Arts - Kali/Eskrima/Arnis

Anonymous No. 225609

Let's discuss the Filipino weapon arts.
I've practiced in various styles of Eskrima for over 6 years now, and it's my favorite style of the ones I practice. I do JKD and MMA too.
I've mainly done Inosanto Kali at my JKD schools, but I've also dabbled in Balintawak, Serrada, Lightning Scientific Arnis, Illustrisimo, Modern Arnis, and Pekiti Tirsia with a variety of different instructors. It is my dream to go to the Philippines to train with the masters there, and become an instructor myself one day.
>What styles of FMA have you practiced, if any?
>Which weapons do you favor, for either training or EDC?
>Do you feel that Eskrima has value in a modern context, and/or is valuable for self-defense?
I know the last question there will probably generate some controversy but I think it's necessary to welcome constructive criticism as a practitioner of any martial arts. I think a lot of people see the flow drills and disarming techniques and think it's an unrealistic way to practice, which is kinda fair, although I also think that there's a common misconception there because the cooperative drills are used to develop certain skills in a controlled way before eventually learning to apply them in sparring. Most martial arts include these types of cooperative exercises for building attributes and isolating certain skills, such as holding pads, glove drills, etc. Yes there are issues with Eskrima skills not sparring enough, which is a common problem in many martial arts schools, but there are also many legit Eskrima schools where we wear the armor and actually beat eachother with sticks and training knives. I see both cooperative drilling and sparring as necessary components to becoming a proficient martial artist.
If you think Eskrima is bullshido, I respectfully disagree, but you're allowed to have your view. All I ask is that we keep it civil and try to have a rational, productive conversation about it.
