🧵 Western boxing is an internal kung fu style

You will hate this but it's true. Especially pugilism and early modern boxing until the 1950s or so.
>Weightlifting is frowned upon, instead you need to develop a special kind of explosive force with obscure exercises
>Emphasis on attacking the internal organs instead of breaking bones
>Development of full body power
>Claims that the practice is very healthy but will ruin your health if you overdo it or train wrong
>Secret knowledge passed down among teachers
>A boxer should be able to beat up much bigger, stronger men
>Concept of using skeletal structure instead of athletic muscular force (power line a la Dempsey or Monstery)
>Emphasis on relaxation instead of tension
>Yielding is called rolling with the punches
>Emphasis on solo work for gaining correct techniqe (Shadow boxing)
>Mostly about Dim Mak (Hitting vital points like jaw, temple, solar plexus, liver, heart...)

🧵 New set of grappling rules
Anonymous at Mon, 2 Oct 2023 17:19:08 UTC No. 170217
Here's the idea:
- Judo points system but ippon doesn't end the fight
- submissions and pins score ippon but doesn't end the fight
- ippon only for throws likely causing damage if executed on a hard surface
- Judo or BJJ gi required
- shoes allowed
- win by points when the time runs out
- anyone with any martial arts background can take part
This would be the competition standard that truly considers all 3 grappling disciplines. Wrestlers wouldn't mind if they have to wear a gi. Everyone gets equal chance of scoring points. Why does this not exist already?
🧵 what will the meta be?

is wall wrestling here to stay? it's fucken boring, it grinds the fight to a halt. Leg kicks where kind of cheep, but this is just stale: I like MMA when they go bananas, not this shit

how does it compare\square against sumo and mongolian wrestling (BTW, yes , I do know mongolians cucked japanese in their own sport -sumo- and japs installed restrictions on foreigners being rikishi)

🧵 What Xteeme sports have streams and events you can watch online?
Anonymous at Sun, 24 Sep 2023 21:22:39 UTC No. 168630
A lot of these sports have niche followings and end up streaming on YouTube or kick. Some of them have weekly shows but no way to find them. It would be nice to have a thread sharing channels, sports and even live events happening RIGHT NOW.
So what do you watch and where do you watch it?
🧵 I have a stupid question
Anonymous at Sun, 24 Sep 2023 21:17:07 UTC No. 168629
Why should we have our weaker hand in front? Not that I'm complaining cause it actually feels natural for me but
Just why?
After all we punch with our forward hand more often than the rear hand so why not make these punches stronger, especially if you're a strong guy so knocking people out with a jab probably isn't impossible for you?
🧵 do you watch female MMA?

Some say guard pulling is good cause you don't need to waste time on learning takedowns which aren't very useful at BJJ tournaments.
Others say guard pulling is actually a technical move, a part of BJJ and people should stop shitting on it.
But there is one thing that makes guard pulling an uncool move. It doesn't work in MMA, except for some specific situations on the ground. Of course, it's nothing special that different sports have different META but BJJ and MMA are like two sisters, both named Gracie.

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?
