I donât want to see two billionaires âfightâ each other I want to watch a billionaire fight someone living pay check to pay check, that has $10 left to last them the week, and I want the billionaire to experience first hand the primal rage of the people when that broke person is locked in a cage with them with the promise of money on the other side of this one piece of shit garbage excuse for a human being
#a parade of absolute filth#in regards to the lack of technique AND the money spent on it#put ME in a cage with BOTH of those fuckers#I will wipe the floor with them BOTH and then be able to afford basic human necessities for once#I hate this timeline#eat the rich#I use fight so loosely idc if oneâs been doing BJJ for like a week it will be worse than a YouTuber fight by a fucking million

I had a rlly good Judo/BJJ class last night! Ive gotten so used to nogi that actually grappling with the gi on again felt kind of unfamiliar? I was still able to do a lot of my stuff but i really forgot how important gripping with your fingers is, ive gotten so used to body locks and using your whole arm in no gi that trying to pull people in with my hands and wrists feels weird
#i feel like i have a better grasp on what good position means from doing no gi though#bc in no gi to have a solid grip on someone you need to break them down and have leverage#but in gi the order changes first you get grips and then you establish control#but i feel like im starting to understand what throw options i have from different tension points#and on the other hand its really nice to practice my judo in bjj bc if i dont hit a throw well i get pulled into guard so its incentivising#me to really make my techniques crisp and perfect so no one capitalises on my mistakes

Man... I've been really wanting to get back into martial arts classes to help fight off The Depression, but it seems that covid really did kill them all off in my area... :(
#i need to exercise#but like i do NOT have the attention span to do Repetitive Tasks for No Reason#I need to throw things (and people) again#i can be trusted with weapons lemme play with them!#i'm going to impulse reup my wow sub if you keep this up google#like all the mcdojos are still thriving 'cause every parent wants to throw $50 at a place so their kid can have a cool extracurricular#and the hyper intense mma fightclubs are still around#but those small schools with a bunch of nerds learning techniques and giggling while they get yeeted are all obliterated..#i do not thrive in a hypercompetative environment#which means mma/bjj/taekwondo/kickboxing/etc are SUUPER not on the menu#WHEN DID JUDO STOP BEING COOL GUYS???#the pandemic it was obviously the pandemic of course#can't hug AND social distance#goddammit!

i am genuinely curious about muay thai if you want to talk about it? if not disregard this message and iâll go to google about it lol
[STARTING THIS WITH THE CAVEAT THAT I AM A BOXER AND NOT A MUAY THAI FIGHTER]
i love boxing. i love boxing and i love combat sports. there are SOOO many things to talk about, i will not be able to get into all of it but i can give yall some combat sport basics!
SO. I will try to be succinct, but sorry in advance:
ânot even touching on weapon arts types, there are three primary fighting styles of combat sports: STRIKING, GRAPPLING, and HYBRID
things like boxing (my wheelhouse) are striking combat! you can get a little locked up sometimes but you canât actually intentionally grapple your opponent, and the ref will split you up to reset if it gets too tangled up.
things like wrestling and bjj (brazilian jiu jitsu) are grappling combat! youâre trying to pin your opponent or put them into submission via cinching and grappling, sometimes throws and knock downs, but thereâs no striking allowed
things like aikido and combat jiu jitsu are hybrids! they use a combination of striking AND grappling techniques to varying degrees. MMA is the main hybrid combat sport, but i donât think of it as a âstyleâ on its own, by virtue of it being a combination of tons of other ones haha
âthe next element is: what parts of your body youâre allowed to use and what parts of your opponentâs body youâre allowed to target. grappling sports are going to be a lot more full-body compatible, while striking styles can vary! punches only vs punches and kicks etc.
so, for example: boxing is limited to punches only and localized to above the waist, head on. whereas bjj is essentially full body to full body
âthe last part is whether or not the combat allows groundwork. is this going to be fully upright (boxing) or can the fight continue if someone ends up on the ground (bjj).
âOK SO: MUAY THAI
it is a HYBRID combat sport, so it utilizes both striking and grappling. (it would probably be considered primarily a striking combat sport BUT it is technically a hybrid. most of the grappling comes in from catching your opponents strikes and utilizing that hold against them, as opposed to like, wrestling lol. youâre wearing boxing gloves so you canât like, grasp anything with your hands, itâs more like arm locks and holds)
it is UPRIGHT, so both fighters will be standing the entire fight, and there is no groundwork or floor-based grappling
it uses MIXED STRIKING, punches as well as strikes with the feet, shins, and knees. lots of blocking is done with the knees and shins actually, which i find very cool
it can look a lot like boxing until the kicks come in to play! hand wraps and gloves look the same, but fighters will go into the ring shoeless and with ankle supports. professional muay thai fights prohibit shoes and shirts. sparring would include shin pads and sometimes head gear, depending on the setting
you CAN strike your opponent pretty much anywhere but the groin, knock your opponent down by getting them off balance (leg sweeps and throws), kick or push them away from you
you CANNOT pick your opponent up to grapple or throw them, grab their clothes or hair, headbutt them, or tackle them
if youâre curious about how it looks, I recommend searching âmuay thai sparringâ on youtube, itâs more casual than actual fights and you can usually see the fighters moves a little more clearly since theyâre not going 100% (and, for fic purposes, thatâs more likely what youâre going to be angling towards)
ANYWAYS. that was a lot, i may have forgotten some things but i hope that made sense and was at all helpful and/or interesting lol.
#THANKS FOR ASKING SORRY FOR ANSWERING#again i am a boxer not a muay thai fighter#so this is coming from an adjacent but not exact background#tommy kinard#eddie diaz#bucktommy#iinryer post#iinryer mailbox

You know what I think is interesting? As a decently buff woman, the attitude of men towards me in a gym vs in a martial arts academy is VERY different.
Usually men in a gym will look at me That Wayâą when I walk into the weight section and do 2 hours of upper body weight training. A lot are judgemental af, trying to dissect my form even tho I've gone through several personal trainers and my form is usually better than theirs. Just overall bad energy.
The men in my martial arts academy?
Something else entirely.
The guys from muay thai and bjj, especially the ones from wrestling, are always hyping me up and encouraging me. Of course there's some exceptions, but most of these dudes have already been humbled by enough women that they're eons less judgemental.
They respect me enough to not go easy on me but they don't try to genuinely injure me (bad sportsmanship no matter the gender). If something about my form in a technique is off, they will give me constructive criticism instead of being demeaning or just staying silent about it to try to guarantee a win.
A guy last week was like "you really be brawling, you picked me up and rolled my on the ground like an alligator", and another dude today was like "you're getting so strong so fast it's ridiculous." AND I'M LIKE THANK YOU FOR THE GOOD ENERGY, WORKING OUT IS 80% OF MY PERSONALITY SO IM HOPING TO BE GOOD IN AT LEAST THATđđđđđ

Side Control Escape For Small Guys
In todayâs blog post, you are going to learn a great side control escape for small guys. As a small 130-lbs guy in BJJ, I know first hand the challenges of escaping from side control against larger opponents. The basic escape of bridging and shrimping can be difficult to execute when you are significantly outweighed by your opponent. Thatâs why I want to share with you a side control escape thatâŠ

A line in Dawntrail permanently burned into my mental audio board:
Bakool Ja Ja the Mystic going heeeere kitty kitty kitty kitty kitty~
It's just some Good Shit, ok, the Mystic is a slick freakin' bastard and I love that.
Some more thoughts on our Blessed Siblings...
It's been fun rewatching those solo duties.
- Bakool Ja Ja gets the same base Dawntrail battle theme as Gulool Ja Ja but without the glorious vocals.
- You can see him using a lot of moves Gulool Ja Ja also uses during your spar, suggesting strongly that there is a shared 'school' of combat skills and magic techniques that may be getting passed on, likely through the Autarch.
- Fire magic of various sorts, that shove-kick they do and is even shown in the trailer, towers, the creation of shades/clone phantoms... It's almost a little cute to see BJJ's put some real work in.
- That final blast he does against Wuk Lamat's LB3 defense is massive holy shit. They're so much more than all talk, with that sort of wrecking power to back it up! Bakool Ja Ja just hits the wall of Wuk Lamat being a queen of Dynamis, h a h.
- Fear of failure is just a much weaker source of mojo than having something you truly want to achieve, something positive to fight for.
- BJJ's bladework is much less refined. As he uses a blade and staff combination, he can't make use viper techniques either way.
- Zoraal Ja's viper-trained all the way, naturally. Likely due to his hoobigo base frame it seems like he never cultivated any of the same magic techniques his father uses. The other explanation is ofc that the VPR class doesn't come with fire magic and they didn't feel any need to custom multiclass him for a single Trust fight.
- Getting to see Gulool Ja Ja's 'complete' battle flow during the Rite's last feat was awesome as sh- and in it you see him use a (much more 'oh shit') version of a move Bakool Ja Ja tried to pull on Wuk Lamat as well.
- They can actually pull off the whole coordinated cast skill, and I doubt that's easy to learn even if you have the physiology for it. I'd bet that it's the Mighty bringing the power, and the Mystic handling the, eh, more delicate half of such spellwork. Their boonewa half may have more raw magic 'strength' as a part of such an aptitude in general but I find it hard to imagine them doing it the other way around.
...seriously, he's doing his best, man xD

JiuFlex: The Fusion of Strength and Technique
History
JiuFlex emerged in the late 21st century as a response to the growing popularity of both bodybuilding and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ). Visionaries sought to combine the raw power of bodybuilders with the technical finesse of BJJ practitioners. The result was a sport that celebrated physical prowess, mental discipline, and artistic expression.
Origins
The Genesis: JiuFlex was born in the underground gyms of SĂŁo Paulo, where bodybuilders and BJJ black belts secretly trained together. They experimented with blending muscle-building routines and grappling techniques, seeking the perfect fusion.
The First Exhibition: In 2087, the inaugural JiuFlex exhibition took place in Rio de Janeiro. Competitors flexed their sculpted physiques while executing intricate BJJ moves. The crowd was mesmerized.
Posing Rounds:
Flex-Off: In the first round, athletes showcase their muscular development. They wear special posers crafted from their gi belts, emphasizing their physique. Judges evaluate symmetry, vascularity, and overall aesthetics.
Technical Flow: The second round combines BJJ techniques with posing. Fighters demonstrate fluid transitions, sweeps, and submissionsâall while flexing their muscles. Creativity and gracefulness earn extra points.
Grappling Rounds:
Gi Grappling: Competitors don traditional BJJ gis for the grappling rounds. Matches follow standard BJJ rules, but with an added twist: fighters can flex during holds or escapes.
Submission Flex: In this round, fighters attempt submissions while maintaining muscle tension. Imagine an armbar executed with biceps bulging!
Performance Enhancing Drugs (PEDs)
JiuFlex encourages PED use, but not only for brute strength. In fact, PEDs also enhance libido and mental focus. Athletes channel this heightened drive into their performances.
Fighters experience an intense desire to win and dominate, fueled by their enhanced hormonal state. It's not uncommon for opponents to lock eyes mid-match, their determination palpable.
Unexpected Testing
Competitors must maintain a body fat percentage below 10% throughout the year. Regular checks ensure compliance. If a fighter exceeds this limit, they face penalties or disqualification.
Conclusion
JiuFlex thrives on the edge between strength and grace, discipline and desire. As competitors flex their bodies and minds, they redefine what it means to be a true athlete. So, next time you see a fighter posing mid-submission, remember: that's JiuFlex in action! đȘđ„

So you feel like learning self defense
Self-defense classes get taught pretty frequently. They're great and will teach you a lot of techniques. On the other hand, you don't practice on an ongoing basis, which is a problem for remembering and executing the techniques.Â
You could buy a gun and go to the shooting range. I don't know much about this except it seems like shooting guns accurately is harder than it looks. Also, I would not carry a gun unless you're prepared to actually shoot someone.
So: can I interest you in a martial art, perhaps?
I've been doing martial arts more on than off since Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon came out. I've been at my current dojo since about 2008. I've been involved in the following arts long enough to hold a rank: kyukido, judo, karate, aikido. I've taken the odd class in: taekwondo, wing chun, gong fu, BJJ (Brazilian jiu jitsu), kendo, and tai chi. Here's some advice on what to look for when finding a dojo:
* Is the space nice/clean? Are the vibes good?
* Do you feel like you're getting a sales pitch or an invitation to train? Do they require you to sign long contracts?
* Do they require that you buy a lot of gear thru them? Do they charge high test fees and require students to grade frequently? Are there young children who have become black belts?
* Do you like the instructor's style? Do you like the instructor as a person?
* Do you like your fellow students? What's the community like?
* Is the art itself interesting to learn?
* Do they treat each other with respect, including not injuring each other when training?
* Also, of course, proximity to your home and cost of classes is important.
Some dojos are very formal and some have only enough hierarchy to maintain a teaching environment. You don't have to become a paramilitary person to get something out of most of them, though. Also, to that point, some dojos get a little mystical--I have been to seminars on using acupuncture points, which I don't really believe in, and my current dojo often talks about chi in a way I don't really know how to think about, because my mind is pretty grounded in Western science. In a good teaching space, you don't have to feel like you're joining a cult or being forced to give up all your prior beliefs.
For me, whether or not I liked the instructor has always been the biggest determiner in whether or not I go to class. A good instructor will help you with what you're interested in, so even if competing is not your thing, you can still get a lot out of a taekwondo dojo when you find the right teacher.
Style: honestly, I think most martial arts are getting at basically the same objective, so this is less important. Also, you may live where there's just one or two dojos, so you get what you get. However, if you have choices, some things to think about.Â
* There are linear martial arts (punching and kicking, like karate and taekwondo) and circular martial arts (throws and falls, like judo and aikido). Also there's grappling, which can involve throws (but not always) and chokes and joint locks (usually). And there's tai chi. Idk what to say about that. The chi tells you what to do.
* Some martial arts are sports, like taekwondo or BJJ.
* Some martial arts are very self-defensey. There's a lot of of argument in online spaces about whether they are actually useful. I could not give a smaller fuck about this discourse.Â
All that said, here's my brief guide to disciplines:
I want to...
...break boards? Karate, taekwondo (TKD)
...get medals/trophies? TKD, BJJ, judo, MMA, kendoÂ
...learn to fall? Aikido, judo
...beat the fuck out of people? Krav maga, muai Thai, possibly BJJ or TKD depending on your sensei, maybe wing chun (also lineage-depending)
...dance? Capoera
...mystical chi stuff? Tai chi
...the stuff in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon? Gong fu + a lot of visual effects
...whatever Jackie Chan does? Mostly karate, I think, except in the Drunken Master series, where he does drunken boxing. I do not think practitioners of it actually drink, but I honestly have never seen it IRL.
...Bruce Lee? Jeet Kun Do or wing chun
...learn joint locks, but also with an emphasis on deescalating situations and trying not to hurt people? AikidoÂ
...all swords all the time? Kendo, iaido, or katoriÂ
Some martial arts do weapons. Aikido does jo (short staff) and bokken (wooden sword),sometimes knife. Karate does bo (long staff), nunchucks, and sai. TKD does many of these, plus three-section staff, kamas, and probably some others. I don't think judo does weapons. Weapons can depend on dojo/lineage.
Your size and gender shouldn't make a big difference. I am quite short and routinely throw guys a full foot taller than me. It's not about physical strength, it's about position. I think arts like aikido do a good job of teaching how to take advantage of this. My karate senseis were both short, but we never really talked about taking advantage of that.Â
A note about rank: it takes different amounts of time to get to black belt. In BJJ, ten years is not unusual. In TKD, it might be 2-3 years. Being a black belt means you've mastered the basics. Don't get too hung up on it.Â

Modern AU Gaang Martial Arts Headcanons :) đ„
Zuko:
He and Azula were forced into both Judo and Karate from a young age. Zuko constantly got frustrated with his katas and that his technique wasnât perfect, while Azula was always angry that people didnât want to spar with her because she was so aggressive. Despite their challenges (which included both of them breaking peopleâs bones by accidents), they both reached first-degree black belt. Zuko stopped attending when he moved in with Iroh, but Azula is a third-degree black belt.Â
Toph:
She likes more physical arts, especially boxing and wrestling. She dabbled in taekwondo but the speed wasnât her forte so she decided to go into boxing instead, and from there, she joined the schoolâs wrestling team and does BJJ on her own time. Sheâs gotten in trouble many, many times because she doesnât care much for rules, and has a clean WR rate of 84-3. Like Azula, most people are too scared to spar her, but she isnât as frustrated about it.
Sokka:
His first experience in martial arts was from a crappy mall studio where he went because his parents wanted him to learn self-defence. He was a big Karate Kid watcher when he was young, and tried lots of martial arts, though was the best at taekwondo. As he got older, he didnât have much interest in it, and just had his dad teach him techniques at home rather than attend a school. Toph always insists on sparring him, and he agreed once, but it left him bruised for weeks, so he doesnât dabble in it much.
Katara:
While originally not much of a fan, she was raised the same as Sokka: take martial arts to learn how to defend yourself. While he liked the fighting, she was more of a fan of the technique, like her mother was. When her mom passed, it only magnified the choice, and she kept at Karate for a few years while Sokka only dabbled. She got to brown belt before her dojo was shut down and, combined with the other stresses of life, she took a break. She still loves martial arts, though, and watches lots of videos about them.Â
Aang:
He took a lot of Tibetan White Crane and tried a few other Chinese martial arts. He is skilled with the bo staff, too, and once he and Zuko became friends, they practised a lot of weapon sparring together. Aangâs marital arts practice involved a lot of conditioning, so he can do an impressively high amount of knuckle push-ups. He was taught mainly defence, which especially part of the reason he rarely won fights against Zuko, because he was often too afraid to attack, though thatâs more of him being a pacifist than his martial art background.Â
Suki:
While she mainly performed Aikido and Kendo, Tessenjutsu had always been her favourite. She has extremely fast reflexes from so much practice. Additionally, she started a martial arts club in her school and met Sokka through there. She was like a mix of Katara and Sokka, enjoying the fighting and cultural aspects equally. When she went to college, it was harder to find a place to train especially with such a packed schedule, but she makes time for it.
