started muay thai about in the summer to help me forget about being 18 year old kv i really enjoyed it and loved showing up to the gym and it gave me something to dedicate my self to besides lifting. six moths pass and my coach asked me if i wanted to do some competition at the muay thai development league i was really exited to participate but that same week i hurt my knee in sparing. i though it was just a sprain but later found out it was a acl tear and i was recommended by the doc to get surgery. i don't know whether or not getting the surgery is worth it or not and now i'm really bored now and just want to get back to muay thai but it seems as it will be a while before its even possible and with graduation coming up and dealing with school its just really depressing me how should i risk going back to the gym without surgery because knee is a lot more stable i can squat and deadlift fine now and do some shadow boxing only thing that brings pain is jump rope
and balancing on right leg is hard

There is a BJJ gym in my city that offers:
>gi BJJ 1.5 hour a week
>no gi BJJ 1.5 h a week
>wrestling 1.5 h a week
>kickboxing 1.5 a week
If I wanna be an MMA fighter, I should theoretially go on all of them except gi BJJ and go lifting at a gym when others do gi but I'm worried that if I'll realise MMA hurts too much and skip to BJJ, I'll lack some skills.
What whould you do in this situation?
Important notes:
>in my country punches to the head of a grounded opponent are illegal for amateurs if both of them haven't already fought in at least 5 tournaments so submissions are a very important skill
>on the other hand I look like the winner on pic so I'll probably be weaker than most opponents but have longer arms so standup combat would make me able to use my reach advantage

Except it actually works. Avoid the strong, enter through the weak. Try it in sparring, you'll pull off some Steven Seagal-looking shit, no joke.

Some Aikido scam-artist from Lithuania managed to use Gofundme to pay for an Australian vacation, on the stipulation him and his five pals (A bunch of martial arts YouTubers) beat the shit out of each other every day of the week and the guy who did it best gets a free belt. Ever wanted to see some of these armchair martial artists try to put money where their mouth is and get their wigs split? Well here you go. The first episode is "Who can beat the shit out of each other on a bus the best"

🧵 Judo training with no Dojo/partner
Anonymous at Sat, 1 Apr 2023 14:13:11 UTC No. 140952
I train judo at uni, but during the summer I'm back at home and theres no judo gym nearby. Here are my plans to keep my eye in/body conditioned for Judo when i come back to uni in september.
- drill ukemi at the local park on grass (is this safe/good idea?)
- i have a heavy bag for boxing so I was thinking of sticking a gi on it and throwing it around a bit
- I also do Olympic lifting/ squats at the local crossfit gym when im at home to build explosivity/power
Any other tips for keeping body ready for judo without access to a Judo gym?

Thread #3 for Red Number 3 Edition
>What is Marble League?
The Marble League is a tournament that features the most decorated and dedicated marble sports athletes. Every year, teams of five marbles compete in Qualifiers and the top 12 teams, along with 4 automatically qualified teams, advance to the main tournament. After an exquisite opening ceremony, the 16 teams perform in a series of events that are inspired by real-world Olympic events, earning medals and scoring points towards an overall total. The team with the most points at the end of the tournament is the team that wins the Marble League, standing at the top of the podium during the closing ceremony and having the honor of extinguishing the torch at the end of each year.
>What is Marbula One?
Marbula One is a marble racing tournament. The name is a portmanteau of the word "marble" and Formula One, the latter of which serves as the direct inspiration for the tournament. Unlike other race events or tournaments, the races are lap-based.

I have been doing judo a twice a week for a few months. I am about to have every afternoon free as I start a new job, and so I want to add more training days. I would like to try a striking art eventually, but it doesn't have to be now. Do you think it would be better to go to another judo gym near me as well, so that I am going 4-5x a week for judo, until I reach a certain proficiency before starting a striking art, or would it be better to continue 2x a week at judo and add 2-3x a week boxing/muay thai?
Another option is, there is a jiu jitsu gym near me with no gi classes with a focus on takedowns, so essentially wrestling, which also sounds like it'd be both fun and useful to know in conjunction with judo.

What if somebody made MMA tournaments of random people?
Basically, we seek for 8 people for each weight class by standing somewhere where we can find young and preferably poor adults and give them flyers that promise $500 for losing a quarterfinal, $1000 for winning a quarterfinal, $1000 for losing a semifinal, $2000 for winning a semifinal, $2000 for losing the final and $4000 winning the final. Suming it up, winner of the tournament gets $7000.
They would have only a little time to preper for it so they would need to improvise during the fights which may lead to creation of unique styles. Fights would only have one round (may have second round if it's draw) not to make fighters too tired for the next ones.
The tournaments would be promoted by a well known fighter and sponsored. PPV should be much cheaper than UFC, maybe $5 for a tournament.
🧵 My coaches thoughts on Judo
Anonymous at Thu, 30 Mar 2023 02:35:21 UTC No. 140677
So I am only a year or two into any form of martial arts training. I've been training BJJ, Muay Tai, Boxing, and MMA training in that time (mostly boxing and MMA) I asked the owner of the gym I go to (Ryan Jensen, UFC fighter if you;d like to look him up) about Judo, and he said that Judo was great for takedowns, maybe even the best. But he said once you get down to the ground you "need to have some sort of a plan" and that he would switch into Greco-Roman or BJJ once on the ground.
This board is full of Judo lovers, so I wanted to hear what a die hard Judoka would respond to that with
