I know kung fu nerdism is cringey and involves a fair amount of willful ignorance, but when the hell are these Youtube Martial Arts influencers going to pull their head out of their own asses and actually look into the kung fu styles they're so quick to dismiss? They say the same shit in all of their videos and have barely made any initiative to even meet with a single credible "kung fu nerd" and even just TALK.
Freakin Dewey lives in Shanghai and the only guys he has on his channel are his MMA buds and other influencers overseas. Karate nerd and Sensei Seth try to intermingle but Karate Nerd in particular is headed in the direction of Disney-style documentaries. Rokas just... meets random people who confirm his bias and he never gets into their background. Other dudes just try and simulate the arts from their Boxing/Kickboxing/BJJ point of view. Fight Commentary Breakdowns is improving but still calls pretty much every random crazy kung fu guy a "master".
Meanwhile in what seems to be a whole different world, people like Will Wain Williams and Byron Jacobs are interviewing and VISITING people of different styles. Like in the world of factionalist my-daddy-can-beat-up-your-dad BS they actually talk to other stylists and have good exchanges. They get into history. They get into different methods. Of course, they don't get too much into MMA, but get this, they don't really talk much about it either. Though Byron trains BJJ and even interviewed freaking Xu Xiaodong and some other of his MMA friends early on.
Like just look at that video of Dewey talking about what Tai Chi means, how it's basically just wrestling. People give him all kinds of reasons why he's wrong and instead of exploring the issue he's like, "oh, I visited this old wise master in the mountains, you can't learn anything about him, but he was the last master there ever was and backs me up! And I know Chinese so fuck you nerd!"
Awful.

can partaking in political riots or hooligan\torcida fights be considered a extreme sport? Its a mix of group MMA with simunition airsoft, I guess?
I know some esoteric-occult groups such as ITS and 09a do believe in testing one's guts and mettle in extreme political militancy.

It was probably an owl with its talons stretched out as it was about to swoop a rodent which is why it appeared to have a humanoid shaped side profile, but at the time it was scary as fuck
>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

>https://www.yt-industries.com/fr/p
>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.

🧵 Peek-a-boo with cross arm guard?
Anonymous at Tue, 17 Oct 2023 22:14:15 UTC No. 172394
it sounds weird but would it be possible to use the "Peekaboo" style mixed with the crossarm (crossarm for blocking jabs and being able to parry) and the (peekaboo for slipping hooks and getting in)

You're never too old or too fat to skate. I forget the percentage but it's mainly mental.

Don't do the X with your arms before popping a truck.

Less chit chat more skating.

Talent, hard work, skill, none of those mean anything anymore. Now any tranny with enough money and the willingness to die of a heart attack in their forties and can be the G.O.A.T. (TM). Much as I want to tell myself this is just because of USADA sucking in general this is Dana we’re talking about, somehow he’s found a way to rape combat sports even more than he already has.

generally chill with a large population of normalfags and basedfags who will quit after 3mos.

boxing but +5-10 to IQ

im a judoka so im biased. but people are generally well adjusted. the weebs that try get filtered within 3 weeks usually.

either intelligent people that come from another martial art, or retards with no prior training that think they'll be the next conor
