Why would anyone train anything other than UFC? It’s the most open martial art where you can do almost anything.

>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.
>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 a holistic sport and success often hinges upon many factors, not just strength and power, but having these qualities definitely helps when you breach into the higher grades.
>What shoes do I buy?
If you're starting out in the gym, don't worry too much: get some snug shoes without dead space that don't cause you lasting pain. Some people (such as the famed shoe designer Heinz Mariacher) recommend wearing soft shoes when you're starting out -- this makes sense since your footwork will probably suck and the increased feedback will pay dividends over time. You really don't need fancy expensive shoes when you're starting out, but certain shoe properties help send harder problems (e.g. stiff shoes for standing on tiny granite edges or soft shoes for sandstone/gritstone smears).
Here are some useful resources for sizing:

I just want to learn side/roundhouse kicks to the body and head, front kicks to the body and head, and leg kicks. Is it possible to teach myself proper kicking form? Or do I need a coach?

Would you be willing to let a female family member, like your own mother (or an older sister) teach you how to fight, if she was already pretty good at karate/boxing/judo, etc. ?

My friends have a small skateboard company, and they released this board graphic in 2021, and now SK8Mafia has stolen the graphic and made it into a Wes Kremer pro model board... they gave no design credit, no shoutout, and infact are censoring posts of us tagging the small company in the comments... could you guys please go on the Sk8mafia instagram and comment something like "thank you @wyfskateboards" or "design credit for AOL board to @wyfskateboards"
it would really mean a lot, this is bullshit, Sk8mafia brands themselves as a "core" skate company and now here they are stealing graphics from the little guy.. I love Wes Kremer and I'm not blaming him, he probably didn't know, but whoever designed his board needs to be called out..

There’s enough evidence to show that this strike does in fact work (and it shouldn’t be surprising that hitting a motherfucker in the neck real hard can knock them out) but my question is if intentional neck strikes were allowed in mma would we see this strike more often or does it only work on people who don’t know how to fight in the first place.

The knee seems like the ultimate hard counter to grapplers and a fight ender when it happens.
How does the striker get really good at kneeling the grappler as he shoots in?

Why isn’t jousting a major televised sport?
Imagine getting shitfaced with the bros and making bets, watching dudes ride horses trying to fuck each other up.
Dana White should get on this. It has massive potential. You do it like hockey and mix it with fighting, let the knights get off their horses and beat the shit out of each other.

how do i quit skateboarding?
i gotta focus on college and wageslaving sadly. i'm not gifted at it, but it's fun, and i'm kind of addicted.
i want to stop but i always find myself skating again. there's no point to it other than pure fun, but it robs me time i should spend on becoming a better wageslave / simp
i wish i could be a NEET, go gym and skate, but i can't, i'm not rich.
fuck i wish i enjoyed studying as much as i do enjoy skating
how tf do i stop? how do i forget about it?

If every sport and hobby on /xs/ to fight in a rumble which sport would come out on top? The only rule is you can’t bring any equipment that isn’t in legal use within your sport of choice.
