Boxing skills are the only important skill in a street fight and anyone who thinks differently is stupid.
>watch street fight videos
>everyone is only throwing punches 99% of the time
>fights that go to the ground get broken up
>fights that aren’t broken up get stood up and don’t end until someone gets punched out
If your concerned about what works in a street fight there’s no reason to train literally anything else.

Samurai of the dark future edition.
A thread to discuss Kendo/jutsu, Iaido/jutsu.
>What is Kendo?
Kendo is a modern Japanese martial art which combines traditional Japanese swordsmanship (Kenjutsu) techniques with sporting elements for competition. It is practiced with shinai (bamboo swords) and armor. The philosophy of modern Kendo is based off of Budo concepts and aims to develop the self through practice.
>What are the rules of Kendo?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cb1
>Am I too old to practice Kendo?
No. Westerns start later and many people practice Kendo until they’re dead.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mm3
>Is Kendo a martial art or a sport?
Yes.
>Where can I find a Kendo/Iaido club or dojo?
https://www.kendo-fik.org/organizat
Start with the International Kendo Federation (FIK) and navigate to your country or region. If you live in a particularly large country, your country’s federation will most likely consist of regional federations. Some federations also include Iaido clubs.
>what do I need to start?
Basically nothing sweatpants and a shirt almost all the times your local club will borrow you the necessary equipment too start.

What are some strategies for dirtiest fighting ie; a non-sports situation where you need to handicap the opponent?
Of course I mean this ON TOP of doing regular training\sparring, not as a replacement.
I can think of:
>practicing jabs that target the eyes, use a boxing bag and practice eye-pokes
>soccer kick against the shin
>Shouting with full force on opponent's ear during a grapple. might stun him for a few seconds
> Lift strong with the grip so be able to cause tears in opponent's ear lobes or lower lip
>"monkey grabs the peach" . be skillful enough to insert your hand into opponent's pants and try to damage his crotch\benos
>use a dummy or makiwara to practice head-butts, grabbing hair and punching, even scratches if youre fingernails are sturdy

Is transitioning an extreme sport?
🧵 Untitled Thread
Anonymous at Sat, 9 Dec 2023 01:02:12 UTC No. 178678
The reason that Greco-Roman wrestlers have a straight posture (whereas Freestyle and Folkstyle wrestlers bend) is because holds below the waist are banned. This includes:
>Foot Sweep
>Inside Leg Trip
>Outside Leg Trip
>Ankle Pick
>Knee Pick
>Single Leg Takedown
>Double Leg Takedown
>Fireman's Carry
It would be interesting to create a new sport, like GRW, but place an exception in the rules for certain moves, such as Ankle Pick and Knee Pick, or Fireman's Carry, to see if you could maintain the same posture, while slightly expanding the list of possible moves.

I have shitty hip mobility, thus my round kicks are either slow as hell or lack power
A doctor has diagnosed me with fai. However, I found this upright health channel guy on YouTube who claims that the issue with poor mobility is commonly more about underdeveloped or overtly stiff muscles. I can feel this snapping and popping in my hip joints occasionally, but typically any hip pain I've felt has been at my tendons or muscles.
What have your experiences with fai been like? To me, a long program of stretching and strengthening the hip muscles seems smarter than an expensive surgery.
🧵 tank biathlon: a truly extreme sport
Anonymous at Fri, 8 Dec 2023 11:39:00 UTC No. 178620
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tank
"Participating tanks drive a three-lap route of 6–10 km (3.7–6.2 mi). During the first lap, crews fire at tank-size targets positioned at distances of 1,600 m (5,200 ft), 1,700 m (5,600 ft), and 1,800 m (5,900 ft) (crews aim by optics, without any modern fire-control system). In the second lap, different targets imitating an anti-tank mortar (RPG) squad and an infantry unit are fired upon. These targets are at a distance of 600–700 m (2,000–2,300 ft), and must be engaged with a 7.62 mm coaxial machine gun. In the third lap, the tank crews fire at targets shaped like an anti-tank gun and ATGM unit using the turret-mounted heavy machine gun at a distance of 1,200 m (3,900 ft). One or more misses leads to an extra penalty lap 500 m (1,600 ft) long. On the final lap, tanks have to go through various terrain obstacles; an obstacle missed or improperly traversed adds 10 seconds to the crew's final timing."
