🧵 /gtg/ Grappling Technique General
Anonymous at Wed, 14 Feb 2024 16:11:49 UTC No. 186929
This will be a thread for people of all grappling disciplines (judo, wrestling, BJJ, etc.) to come and discuss or ask about technique. Here, we can avoid the retarded debates and help each other out with youtube links, instructional suggestions, troubleshooting ideas, etc.
Any serious grappler likely has questions from outside their main discipline. A judo guy starting BJJ might have some questions, or a BJJ guy trying to get better at wrestling.
This is NOT a self defense circlejerk thread, or a A vs. B circlejerk thread. Start with something like
>discipline
>years of experience
>technique question or problem
I train at one of the most popular gyms in the world right now and I'm an instructional addict. I'll do my best to point people to the right resources.
🧵 Belt System Alternative
Anonymous at Wed, 14 Feb 2024 09:03:27 UTC No. 186914
Belt systems were cool at first but they are easily corrupted and nowadays they have become a joke in most styles that actually use them.
How would you fix and/or replace the belt system?

🧵 Are Olympics legit

Saw demoralising facebook comments with thousand of likes of agreement saying that olympics's atheletes all use enhancements and supposedly 44% of them use peptides, "best chemist wins", and that in this day and age its possible to go around the testing
Is this true now or no?
🧵 Boxing belts

Why are championship belts in boxing so shit? They all look horrible. Every other combat sport has belts that look 100x better. Even indie wrestling promotions have way better-looking belts. Why won't they change them?

🧵 Usyk vs Fury - Undisputed Heavyweight champion
Anonymous at Mon, 12 Feb 2024 15:40:47 UTC No. 186669
Alright /xs/bros, who do you guys think wins this? It's been delayed a few times but it should HOPEFULLY be happening in May. I hope it at least happens this year.
When this fight was first announced I favored Fury but as time as gone on I find myself leaning towards Usyk. However I don't think Usyk will be able to stop Fury; he will win by decision if he does win.
The winner will not only be undisputed but undefeated as well. First undisputed HW champ since Lennox Lewis.
So who you got?

🧵 Should I learn Muay Thai?
Anonymous at Sun, 11 Feb 2024 16:29:00 UTC No. 186520
I’m curious about starting Muay Thai as a hobbyist, but I have a couple questions first:
1. Is Muay Thai worth learning if you’re about 5’9”, 160 pounds? I’m a skinnyfat dyel and am fully aware I need to bulk up a bit.
2. Will I feel more confident defending myself as a hobbyist? I’m not interested in competing since I’m 30 and need my brain for work, but I’d like to feel like I could handle myself (or at least put up a fight) in case I got jumped or something.
🧵 We need to make Skateboarding this again
Anonymous at Sun, 11 Feb 2024 07:51:13 UTC No. 186489
Modern skateboarding fucking sucks. Everyone skates like a robot: same tricks, same style (both clothing and trick execution), everyone at the skateparks are way too serious and tryhard. Nobody carves or has any real style, just the same in-line tight truck 5 approved tricks tried endlessly in a row.
How do we make skateboarding like 1988-1992 again? Bright day glo colors, giant ass fish boards with rails, tricks that are whatever the fuck you felt like doing that day and who fucking cares if you drag a hand or a toe as long as you surf out of it. People used to all have a sense of humor and goof around and improvise halfway through a trick, not stand around like soulless autistic robots and give up if the autism flip didn't land perfect in the sperg grind. And for the love of fuck, they listened to ROCK and METAL, not this horseshit faggot ass trap music rap bullshit.
Skateboarding used to be rad as fuck and whatever gay shit it is today isn't worth being around. I don't see any tricks around today that weren't being done back then, it just had more pizzaz then.
Like, watch this part and tell me you aren't 1000x more amped to skate than some bullshit dropped today: https://youtu.be/3c7XV-FC59k?si=RAA
Fuck modern skateboarding, make skateboarding rad again.

🧵 Which animals would be the strongest martial artists?
Anonymous at Sat, 10 Feb 2024 03:18:49 UTC No. 186316
God decides to flood the world, except this time, you have to earn your spot on the ark.
Each species must enter into a fighting competition. Their intelligence is temporarily boosted to the level of the average human, and they are allowed 10 years of training within the hyperbolic time chamber, during which they don't age.
The animals are divided into weight classes, and further by habitat. You can't have a lobster fight a rabbit, for example.
Each bout consists of three fights, to the death. One in each of the natural habitats (bounded area) of the participating species, and one in an MMA octagon.
Of course, animals like bears and cats would clean house, but I'm more interested in less commonly discussed matchups.
Personally, I think primates would be a strong contender for one of the strongest orders. The dexterity makes them more suited to martial arts than most other animals, and having 4 or even 5 useable limbs would make them deadly grapplers.
