I need advice from boxers, I am 21 y/o and I have been boxing for about 2 years and my coach has been egging me on to fight in amateur. What are some things I should expect?
> I can only train about 2-3 hours a day which is usually how much I train, is that enough?
> I have been doing boxing as a hobby and an outlet I take the training seriously but do I have to be 100% passionate about boxing to succeed? I have many other hobbies I like to do but I just don’t want it to completely consume my life.

I’m interested in getting into wrestling, but one of my biggest fears is a spinal cord injury. I’m an athletic person, and I wouldn’t consider myself overly cautious, but spinal cord injuries seem so prevalent in wrestling, and I’d rather be dead than paralyzed. What should I do?

🧵 Complete knee blow out
Anonymous at Sun, 30 Jul 2023 16:00:48 UTC No. 159175
I am 42. Decided to jump on a skateboard which should be relatively easy think to do. I just forgot I’m overweight and live pretty sedentary and have no business acting like I’m 25.
Pushed it out a bit on flat ground and hopped on. Saw like a flash, it was like a temporary loss of consciousness, I think shock from pain. Didn’t hit my head. Came to on ground in pain. Thought knee was sprained so I got up and it just collapsed again.
I have complete tear of ACL/ MCL and a Tibia plateau fracture with a segond fracture (some price kinda floating around). I see surgeon tomorrow. Anyone ever done anything this bad to their knee? How much trouble am I in here?

Tall half white half mexican freak girl savagely beat me up in muay thai class today.
I'm 5'6 while she's easily 6' plus. My nose was bleeding earlier today, one tooth from my upper jaw is loose, while my sides are still hurting from her roundhouse kicks. She humiliated me in front of everyone. I couldn't do shit, just fucking overpowered. She kicked my ass while wearing the most girly clothes possible, a pink gym skirt barely covering her asscheeks, black top with visible sports bra straps, and pink gloves. Our instructor fucking hates me, and I think he intentionally paired me with her to give her a good practice punchbag. She looks sexy though, when she bends, her ass looks shapely.

🧵 The 12-6 elbow, mohawk and Chael Sonnen
Anonymous at Fri, 28 Jul 2023 16:38:20 UTC No. 158815
1/2
There is a controversy about whether or not should 12-6 elbow be legal. Chael Sonnen said why, in his opinion, it shouldn't https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ye79N
He says that you mustn't hit the part of the skull called mohawk and points his fingers on the top and back of his head. But are strikes to the top of the head actually banned? I tried to find info about it and I found this quote
>The Committee has found a compromise between the Mohawk definition and the headphones definition. The Committee recommends a nape of the neck definition.
>Basically, the group concluded that a strike that touches the ear is generally acceptable. Strikes are not permissible in the nape of the neck area up until the top of the ears. Above the ears, permissible strikes do not include the Mohawk area from the top of the ears up until the crown of the head. The crown of the head is found where the head begins to curve.
>In other words, strikes behind the crown of the head and above the ears are not permissible within the Mohawk area. Strikes below the top of the ear are not permissible within the nape of the neck area.
Picrel is how do I understand this quote (assuming that strikes to carotid artery are legal because I didn't find any info about them being illegal). Most of the upper head, including the part struck by Jon Jones when he got dq'd is a legal zone. But this is a different understanding than what Chael says which puts me in an uncomfortable situation where I'm arguing with a pro mma fighter about how does mma work.
Then he says that strikes to the "mohawk" are banned "for good scientific reason; soft spot and some other stuff" but is soft spot on the top of the head really a thing? I know babies have it but adults? If you headbutt someone's nose, chin or even forehead with the top of your head he'll get hurt rather than you.

I’m a solar technician who works on the road a lot. I recently started training mma and I want to eventually start fighting but with inconsistencies in where I’ll be that complicates things; do most mma gyms allow out of towners train for a few weeks at a time? And how would that affect my overall performance/ability? Anyone else done this?

>Who is this for?
Anyone interested in sailing, or anyone that currently sails and wants more information.
>Should I get into sailing?
If you're by a body of water that you can sail on, why not?
>How?
Look into local sailing associations, or yacht clubs. Oftentimes they have memberships that are wallet friendly, and allow access to their fleet of day sailers, or allow you to crew on racing vessels
>How do I buy a sailboat?
Great question - hopefully this general takes off and people will share their experience
🧵 Is he fake?
Anonymous at Thu, 27 Jul 2023 15:37:22 UTC No. 158622
I've heard Michael Chandler being called fake by multiple fighters during my time as an MMA fan.
I follow him on YouTube and he only seems to be putting out knowledgeable takes and motivational advice. Him putting on a "nice guy act" is just a strange assumption to me.
Also, as a person who trains muay thai and bjj, he is the fighter that I try to channel and emulate because of his toughness and explosiveness he's demonstrated time and time again.
