Specifically Eskrima
I know the drill with martial arts, usually not effective for real fights and all that, but is it fun?
I've been reading into it and it sounds interesting, but I know how martial arts can be with scammers.
Have you practiced them?
Also any tips to differentiate between good eskrima teachers and false gurus?

How does one get into MMA? I've been trying to get into the sport since my teens but there are so many fighters and lore that I just get lost and end up dropping it, only to try to get into it again years later. I really like fighting but unlike other normie sports like soccer or football, MMA just harder for me to get into.

Hello /xs/ I punched a wall very hard three times and got what they apparently call in English "Boxer's fracture". My two knuckles at the end of me hand (the one from pinky finger and the one next it) a bit fucked up... Which apparently is the most normal especific injury in these cases from what I've been reading.
I went to a public hospital and they lasted too much to attend me my girlfriend went with me and she talked to some doctor asking why there was no one in reception. I got angry at the doctor she talked to because doctors in general are pedantic for some reason so I said to him watch your mouth etc and went back to my house in frustration and rage. One week later I went again to another hospital, waited and finally got checked by a female doctor (who, surprise surprise, was a bitch. And curiously she was pretty, blonde and had light coloured eyes, but quite bad manners) but at least she put my two fingers back in their place or one of them at least cause I heard small cracking sound. She also put a me an arm cast. Something definitely got fixed. After that I just got the hell out of there because people there was depressing and so was that neighbourhood also I was extremely tired it was 2am and I had a appalling day that day.
Problem is I didnt go back again for checking and a radiography and I want to get this damn arm cast out of my hand because:
-I want to put ice on my hand bu t can't with this shit on.
-It's very annoying and I have stuff to do.
Can't I just remove it? Or do I have to keep it on and if so for how long? It's been about 3 days already.

>Where do I start?
People typically start in the gym and branch off outdoors and find their niche, be it bouldering, trad, sport or a mixture of the above. Some never leave the gym at all. Ultimately it doesn't matter - just get started and enjoy yourself.
>How fit do I have to be to start? Do I have to be able to do x amount of pull-ups?
Being light, strong and flexible helps at the higher levels but climbing is open to almost anyone and is fairly intuitive to most. Even if your body is feeble and weak now, you will develop strength over time by virtue of just climbing. Climbing is also a holistic sport and success often hinges upon many factors, not just strength and power. But it certainly helps.
>Where can I acquire petite 110lb Asian climbing gf.

>I can deadlift 500lbs if I really wanted to. Here's a timestamped shirtless pic of me for proof.

Honestly its a damn shame these guys aren't living like superstars. You fight to the death in a steel cage for an electricians salary.

🧵 Choosing your stance for MMA
Anonymous at Mon, 18 Sep 2023 19:32:28 UTC No. 167448
What stance do you use for your martial art? I've been going to a kickboxing (sanda) and MMA gym and they advised me to have my dominant hand forward so I've been training southpaw, but I've previously trained Jiu Jitsu in orthodox stance for a short time.
Generally in striking martial arts you keep your dominant hand back so your jab can set up your cross, but in other martial arts like Judo, Jeet Kune Do or Wrestling you're supposed to have your dominant hand forward, so which one should I train? I feel more comfortable as a southpaw personally.

gf got me to try BDSM but everything felt pussified and I couldn't get into it, then when I did my own thing we had to stop cause I hurt her
showed her a gachimuchi meme and she replied "so this is where you get your fantasies from"
she's fucking right (and I'm coping and sneeding), but I'm not gay so never got turned on by gachimuchi or I'd have worked it out a decade ago
I've been memed into thinking that real men use real pins in the bedroom
anyway does anyone know where/how I can learn how to do bedroom holds and pins?
