If you had a kid what martial art would you get them started in for maximum ass kicking before they hit high school?
No I will not teach them to make pipe bombs.

🧵 MMA gym quality
Anonymous at Fri, 3 Nov 2023 09:12:55 UTC No. 174340
I plan to train in the future not just for fitness but to be actually good at fighting (maybe I will even try to compete if I discovered I have a talent for fighting). How do I know if an MMA gym is good or not?
Also I live in a 3rd world country (not gonna tell which one) and in a rural place on top of that, so the nearest MMA gym I can see from the Google Map is 30 km away. The nearest gym (around 7 km) has boxing and kyokushin karate sessions, but it is within a fitness gym so im afraid the martial arts might be just for fitness and not actually competitive fighting.

~~Projecting Season Edition~~
>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.
>What do you mean by 'projecting season'?
The temperature and humidity are dropping. Those slopers that felt like greasy shit a couple months ago? You're now sticking to them like velcro. You're feeling light, strong and vigorous since you've been abstaining from jerking off to those cute tomboy climbers in the folder you collected from /cg/. The time has come to do the needful sirs and make your ancestors proud by sending that V8 that you couldn't quite manage last year.
>What shoes do I get?
A common question. The simple answer is just get a shoe that fits well, which doesn't cause pain but has little to no dead space. Shoe technology gives definite advantages at the higher levels of the sport (e.g. particular heel shapes for marginal heel hooks, soft shoes for smeary friction-centric climbs or stiffer shoes for standing on marginal edges) but some Sportiva Solutions will not help you scratch up that gym v1 any more than a pair of baggy rentals. Some people (like Heinz Mariacher, the Scarpa designer) suggest softer shoes if you're a beginner since they'll give you plenty of feedback through your feet and build strength in your toes. For sizing, the following guides are very useful:

>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.

Is there any practicality to the "touching the back of your lead hand with each other to start a fight" thing, or is it just movie shit?
🧵 Headbutting contests
Anonymous at Sun, 22 Oct 2023 22:40:45 UTC No. 173041
All martial arts and fighting sports can be represented on a "violence gradient", where on one end you have the more choreographic and barely-violent styles, and on the other you have the most violent and less "artistic" ones.
In the past few decades interest has been shifting from the former, and more towards the latter, with bare-knuckle boxing competitions, street-fighting organizations, and even slapping contests, garnering more and more interest.
It's therefore clear that the only logical conclusion to these competitions is a headbutting contest.
You can have turn-based ones like with slapping, or you can have bouts where two dudes just hit each other until a ko or the time runs out.
People would develop techniques to dodge, hit delicate spots, and even set up combos.
There would be interesting match-ups between tank type dudes with giant necks and heads, and long-necked more athletic guys who can contort in seemingly impossible ways to execute advanced techniques.
Depending on the rules you could have them stand still or move around in a ring. You could allow grabbing the opponent or have their hands cuffed behind their backs (which would be a useful skill for the type of guy who'd take part in this).
Opinions? Suggestions on how it would be set up, or how to be more effective at it?
