🧵 Best Martial Art For Street Fights?
Anonymous at Tue, 22 Aug 2023 02:06:56 UTC No. 162898
Now I know this might cause a lot of arguing but I genuinely am looking for the best martial art for street self defense.
I'm not looking for anything that's the best in a ruled zone like boxing, I need something that will work with no rules. I moved to a lower income (neighbor)HOOD but I live in Canada and we can't carry, so the next best thing is martial arts, plus I've always wanted to learn.
What's the most dangerous/best martial art for street fights? I'm honestly afraid of getting jumped by a crackhead. I know it's probably a mix of them so any information would help, I have a couple fighting gyms in my area and I plan on attending a orientation to one of them in the future.
🧵 Gatekeeping Techniques

Do you guys gatekeep certain techniques or strategies that work for you from your club?
Example, I have this document on grip-fighting (Judo) that allows me to dominate everyone in this aspect. Not sure if I should share it or not.

How is MMA immune from cancel culture?
>Dana slaps his wife on camera. Says "whoops. My bad" and nothing happened. No protest; nothing. Swept under the rug.
>Nick Diaz openly says 'nigga' and calls people 'faggot'. Literally nobody gives a shit online.
>McGregor commits assault in public and...nothing
>Many open Trump supporters
I can't think of another field so unaffected by Millennial/Gen Z sensibilities.

🧵 Is it cringy to start martial arts after losing a fight?
Punched at Sat, 19 Aug 2023 20:39:08 UTC No. 162488
I got sucker punched at a party last night. I was dancing with a girl and accidentally bumped into another guy and spilled his drink on him. Before I could apologize, he sucker punched me and got thrown out before I could do anything to fight back. I now have a massive black eye and a throbbing headache and feel like a massive wuss. I’ve always been interested in Muay Thai or boxing and figure now is as good of a time as any to start. Am I being too emotional about this and would it be cringy to start right after getting my ass kicked? Or is this a good time to start?

🧵 Wotore, a good idea broken by one rule
Anonymous at Thu, 17 Aug 2023 13:41:03 UTC No. 162123
Wotore is a polish mma promotion with very specific rules:
>there are tournament fights and super fights
>winner of the tournament gets $12 000
>no gloves, just wraps
>no weightclasses
>no fence, falling out 2 times meant loss in the first tournament but since wotore 2, if you fall out, you just fall out
>first 2 rounds last for 5 minutes, third one has no time limit
Banned moves are:
>eye gouging
>biting
>clawing and pinching
>spitting at the opponent
>hair pulling
>groin strikes
>throat strikes
>fish hooking
>strikes to the spine and back of the head
>small joint manipulation
>any unsportsmanlike blah blah
>timidity
As the organizers like to admitt, headbutts and ground kicks are legal.
Most of this sounds based but there's one rule that I strongly dislike:
>after 20 seconds of "inactive" groundfight ref tells fighters to stand up
Of course, if there's a round with no time limit, some kind of protection from stalling is necessary but first, 20 s is MUCH too little and second, the ref is retarded and thinks that g&p in full mount is inactive fight.
If you wanna watch it anyways, here is some fights where Poles fight against KOTS fighters

🧵 realistic expectations ninjitsu
Anonymous at Wed, 16 Aug 2023 22:54:07 UTC No. 162049
I KNOW ninjitsu as such isnt a "thing". Real ninjas were just spies who dressed as whatever the common man dressed like in the area of operation. They didnt have combat systems beyond personal self-defence, as they tried to assassinate the target with a cost-averse strategy. even "dirty tricks" , whatever was necessary.
that said: can ninjitsu be FUN to learn? in Bujinkan, do you learn various skills like throwing proyectiles, pole\staff weapons? if you get to a high level can you get to wear armor for demonstrations or armor-grappling?
are there non-bujinkan lineages like the ninja guy who appears in the asianboss youtube channel? (he has his own school now, goes to the forest, teaches survivalism and kuji-in, etc)
>tl;dr can ninjitsu be a fun hobby and a key to genuine ,deeper experience like the japanese dance-martial tradition and connection, or shinto spirituality? while knowing it doesnt provide real combat teaching
🧵 How has martial arts become so focused on “street fights”?
Anonymous at Wed, 16 Aug 2023 17:41:25 UTC No. 162008
Especially on the internet. You can hardly find any discussion of any martial art at all without a mention of how good it is on da streetz. I’ve noticed some of the same retards in car culture (da street races bro), but that just doesn’t fly with actual track drivers. Not the same way as it does with martial arts, at least. Why is it like this?
Imagine if every discussion around rowing was about how effective you would be as an oarsman in an ancient Greek trireme.
>bro that technique wouldn’t work in the seas bro
>we would just go hard to port and then loop around and ram you bro

Bike Park edition
FAQ on buying a bike that nobody reads anyway:
> 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
Good used hardtail, new entry level hardtail
> What good bike can I get for under $2000?
New Hardtail, decent used full suspension
> What good bike can I get for under $3000?
https://www.yt-industries.com/fr/pr
Used full suspension, decent entry level full suspension but prepared to put more money into it.
> 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
> What are the differences between an XC, Trail, Enduro, and Downhill bikes?
XC bikes are for going up fast, go down not as fast. Trail bikes are for going up and down. Enduro bikes are for going down fast, and slower up. Downhill bikes are for going down really fast, needs a ski lift, truck, or the rider pushing it to go up.

🧵 how do you learn to tightrope walk?
Anonymous at Wed, 16 Aug 2023 07:07:59 UTC No. 161945
I was at my local football/soccer field today when I decided to try walk along one edge of the fence (metal chicken wire fence with a rounded metal top). Could barely get halfway after an hour of trying. This is now unfinished business and I will not rest until I have walked the whole fence. I figure this is basically just tightrope walking so I need tips from anyone who actually knows their shit. I don't have a balancing pole
