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
> What good bike can I get for under $3000?
https://www.yt-industries.com/fr/pr
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 alue 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.

🧵 The Ultimate Self-Defense Championships Season 2
Anonymous at Thu, 21 Dec 2023 23:04:02 UTC No. 180470
For those unfamiliar:
Last year "The Lithuanian Steven Seagal" Rokas Leo held an "Ultimate Self-Defense Championship" event where he shipped out several martial artists with prominent social media personalities including Ramsey "Monologuing Mormon" Dewey, Icy "Angry Manlet" Mike, Sensei "IcyMike's Sancho Panza" Seth, and Jeff "Why am I doing this? I have a career!" Chan to engage in a multi-round series of self-defense challenges at an Australian center specifically built around these scenarios.
It was incredibly amateurish and awkward, the scoring system was nonsense causing two of the most """"experienced"""" floundering, and nearly killed Ramsey Dewey because some retard jumped off of a ceiling directly onto his head. But it was fun to see these people with many claims be put to the test in variably strange scenarios, initially starting with all of them beating the shit out of each other in a round-robin "tournament" inside a moving bus before a crowd of bogans rushed in to assault them all.
The newest season has been fully filmed and just released a trailer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xg
The new contestants are:
>Jesse Enkamp
Swedish self-professed "Karate Nerd," karate historian, and gi merchant. Flips between looking like an actual Chad and a balding buck-toothed goober.
>Natan Levy
Israeli UFC lightweight fighter. Been getting social media buzz for various reasons.
>Jeff Chan
Winner of previous USDC. r/aznmasculinity's idol, actually decent guy with a small pedigree.
>Jordan Preisinger
BJJ practitioner with a small YouTube channel but decades of experience in pajama-cuddling.
>Ranton
French-German "Chinese" video game reviewer who stayed at a Shaolin Temple for two years after a racial identity crisis. Massive shitposter.
>Craig Hunter
Some Australian guy that got hired last minute to replace a basketball player. Literally just a regular, physically fit bogan with a wife and kids.
It comes out this April but these threads can survive months.

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.
