/DGG/ Disc Golf General
My close personal friend Paul McBeth edition
Season is closing out if you live in a shit state sub edition
>What is disc golf?
Its golf but with frisbees or discs. Generally played at parks that have free courses.
>What do I need to get started?
A disc and some shoes to walk around comfortably. (You should probably also bring some water anon and maybe download UDisc for a scorecard, or print / make your own)
>I'm new what disc should I buy?
Pretty much any decent disc will get you out and playing. You don't need to buy a starter set immediately, instead buy a putter and approach disc as its a pretty easy to throw disc for a beginner and then buy more discs from there.
>Are there courses around me?
Almost certainly, check https://www.dgcoursereview.com/ for a pretty comprehensive list of courses and recommendations as to what ones near you are good.
>I bought a starter set and cant throw these things straight or far at all!
Go onto youtube and lookup guides idiot. Also learn to throw your putter first. It's most likely the easiest disc to throw in your bag and just because it doesn't fly as fast as a fairway or driver disc, It'll probably fly farther as It WILL fly straighter.
Most people you meet out on a disc golf course are gonna be pretty chill guys who'll either help you out if u get a disc stuck in a tree, or even give u a quick tip if you're new.

Is road racing an extreme sport?
>an amateur who can get the certs can do it
>people regularly die doing it
Is zooming at 200mph through narrow roads with curbs, lamp posts and trees extreme enough?

ITT:
Give a theoretical MMA fighter three martial arts.
Decide the martial arts to serve a single role as efficiently as possible.
Others point out the weaknesses, suggest combinations of martial arts that would be more efficient at serving the same role, and discuss what the fighters would be like practically.
>Judo
>BJJ
>Aikido
Primarily grappling, the purpose is to counter and grapple the opponent rapidly and powerfully. Sitting guard and Seizo stances can be swapped between if one of the two stances is established too. I figure it'd work out like getting the opponent to the floor and delivering nasty followups that are hard to deal with.

Amateur Engineer Edition:
FAQ:
> What good bike can I get for under $500?
a stolen bike. Possibly a newer used entry level hardtail but don't expect it to survive rock gardens, jumps, or drops. Or an older mtb which won't be as good as newer ones and will still have a front derailleur, but it'll be good enough.
> What good bike can I get for under $1000
Used hardtail
> What good bike can I get for under $2000?
New Hardtail
> What good bike can I get for under $3000?
Used full suspension
> What are the excellent value brands?
Marin, Commencal, Canyon, Polygon, YT, Propain, Kona, and many more. Sometimes the expensive brands have an excellent value bike
This is a handy guide. Not comprehensive but a good guide for american riders. Europeans and Asians have access to other brands.

How the hell am I suppose to learn ju jitsu when the nearest dojo is 40 miles away and public transport won't go that far.
Would the instructor be hard up enough for cash to come get me I wonder, or am I stuck having to learn Taekwondo because it's locally available?

Sleep
>>Sauna one more time before weight ins
>> Eat simple carbs dor the fight
I'm actually kinda sleepy right now. So... Should I just sleep and do everything tmr n fight? Or do everything tonight, sleep n fight?
Or is there a better way?

For string walking what is the exact amount to space you need to move your finger relative to the meters away your shooting? Is there a formula? Or at least a set known distance for each amount of meters? No I don’t have a finger tab with notches on it. How do they even know where to put the notches?

What is a reasonable belt progression for taekwondo?
I never did martial arts myself, but my daughter has been doing TKD for a couple of years now. We moved about a year ago and it seems like the new place she's going is doing belt tests really fast. She's testing for a new belt every 2-3 months which gives me a little bit of a McDojo vibe, but I don't have enough experience to really know.

Opinions on Taekwondo? I know it's not considered a good martial art for self defense, but I guess it's good as a sport.
WTF or ITF? Which one has less injuries? Which one is more fun to do?

I'm thinking of practicing a striking martial art (I have to decide whether it's taekwondo, muay thai, boxing, etc), but I'm a pussy and I worry about getting my teeth knocked out, I had some trouble with my gums in the past, but I would say it shouldn't be a problem now.
Would you recommend one martial art over other if I worry about stuff like this? Like, is Taekwondo less intense than Muay Thai, for example?
Either way I think I'll use at least a mouthpiece for sparring, maybe headgear to avoid cauliflower ears, idk. And I don't mind being the only one using them, but I think I would rather not be the only one. Are there some martial arts where people are more likely to use protective gear?
