Would replacing Judo, Wrestling, etc., by Mixed Wresling Arts and Mixed Striking Arts be beneficial to the Olympics?
Consider the following:
> circle arena
> out = 2 points
> knockdown/takedown = 3 points
> knockout/submission = 10 points
> 3 3 min rounds
> protection everywhere including head recommended but not obligatory
> first to 10 points, or with more round wins, wins the fight
I think it would be far more interesting if there were very diverse ways of winning points and different styles actually clashed with each other.
This also ends the notion that the Olympics ruins Martial Arts, since there will be no Point Judo, or Point Karate anymore, just Olympic Striking and Olympic Wrestling. As a bonus you could also add an actual MMA tournament with the best of both sides, but following the same rules.
It's light, and you can probably fight 3 or 4 times in this 3 week period if you are fully protected and you can win by just taking people down and pushing them out.

I used to love urban exploring so much, climbing up the side of abandoned buildings, exploring inside, chilling on the roof. I moved to a country which has a high amount of crack heads in a lot of these places, meaning I can't get that feeling of freedom through climbing since there's more to worry about than just falling. Because of this I resorted to doing stupid shit on my motorbike.
How else do you fuckers get this rush and freedom? Should I go to Eastern Europe to train hop, should I hike up a mountain, should I try shoplifting? Or maybe I should just get into drugs?

So I'm trying to learn foil pumping. There's literally no place to rent those boards and new they're about 2k. When I try and buy a used one all I can find is either the foil or the board but not both. Please give some recommendations on how to start. My budget is about 500usd.

In my town there is only karate and it seems to be 90% kids. Not to mention how questionable the effectiveness of the art is outside of the sport. The only other option is boxing but that will take me half an hour drive. I am not sure how stressful the training would be and since the training is in the evening when I get home and go to sleep I would have like 6 hours of sleep max. Most likely 5 or 4. I could maybe make up for it the other day when I get back from work if I go to sleep super early or if I take 1-2 hour power naps before going to training. Even then I think I could only train twice a week.

Has anyone started swimming competitively as an adult? I never pursued it as a kid despite enjoying it but have felt like beginning to train and taking it seriously. Obviously competing against others who've been doing it their entire lives leaves you at a disadvantage. Just wondering what other people's experiences are.

I'm going to start boxing on tuesdays and thursdays. How would you go about strength training to supplement the boxing? I want muscular endurance and explosiveness(tailoring a program to be boxing specific). Mainly looking for a split or full body program that can fit into my schedule. High rep squats? Push press? Landmine punches?
I have a high tolerance for working out and i eat in a caloric surplus.

Long story short, I got jumped by 6 guys and they kicked the shit out of me (fractured my face). Realized that even though I trained years ago I forgot how to fight and I'm looking to get back into it. I got a few options near me they are.
>Muay thai gym ran by a former pro fighter I looked up his fights on youtube
>Krav maga school ran by some krav maga guy can't find any videos of him having pro fights but in a lot of their videos they do sparring and scenario training
I'm conflicted between the two on one end, I got jumped by 6 years so not sure if the krav school is what I want or on the other side I want to actually learn to fight and train with fighters not just jerk my dick and pretend I can fight. What would you pick /xs/?
