often feels like that to me when i'm too far away

ideally you would want to close the distance and turn to look the direction you're throwing, i always emphasize this during my uchi-komis

my favorite setup is osoto gari to sasae, you can get chest to chest, turn, block the leg and throw them over.

the idea that bitches were gatekept from skating is so fucking retarded it can only come from someone under 25. there was always a full gaggle of ramptramps and ledgewarmers at every skatepark as far back as i can remember. no one was stopping them from skating, they were already spending all day at the skatepark and they just didn't do it. there were a handful skater girls too but they were a different breed entirely

>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:

HEMA stands for Historical European Martial Arts, sometimes also called Historical Fencing.
It's reconstructing how to fight with swords, daggers, polearms, and other weapons based on old European fighting treatises

If damage can occur then there must be a way to fix it. It will take a lot of money for research and time but some method must eventually surface to fix it.

Just look at the way your body heals from things though, if something gets injured it just throes inflammation at the problem to recruit as much material as it can to patch it up like an old tire
If you ever break a bone it will reconnect but the signs of the injury will always be there

this anon here, after being told I'm obese and then still struggling to get the skates on over the next few months, I gave up on them
I decided to try again today because it's getting warm again and I'm itching for something to do outside
while trying them on I realized that, while not obese, I am a fucking retard and I was supposed to push this thing in to unhinge the strap so it actually closes
I'm disheartened to learn of my mental handicap, but I'm looking forward to actually trying to rollerblade

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/produits/velos/capra/uncaged-10-al/602/capra-mx-uncaged-10/
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

Does anyone else compete, or want to compete? I train at the dojo three times a week, but my Shihan says to get truly in fighting shape, I need to train much more often, I already do weights and bodyweight exercises at lunch time in my work gym, but he says I need to find some more time on the heavy bag, even if it means training until late at night.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJCjyYB2I9c
I was at this tournament last year, but in a different category, here are some highlights.
>>195032
It depends on the ruleset, the problem is with the timelimit, the size of tournaments, and the nature of tournaments themselves. People like Valeri win tournaments because they favour very economical movements that minimise effort, are extremely efficient, and highly effective. Valeri is boring as hell to watch but he's a scientist of Kyokushin.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2aeVb_J2Ws
this fight is probably the most fluid kyokushin fight I can think of, but there are others. The last IKO tournament had some more springy fighters, but with the big tournaments very few early fights will go beyond the first round, so you have to get in there and go as hard and as fast as you can so the judges choose you. Perhaps one day there should be a more drawn out kyokushin tournament, no round limits, over a few days instead of just two.
>>
>>195401
Based Jap man
>>
>>195454
Kyokushin did that in the 1970s when Oyama opened up a Kickboxing gym that Terutomo Yamazaki (1st winner of the All Japan Kyokushin championship).

When K-1 debuted, it was already built on Ishii's Seidokaikan challenge matches against other styles. He envisioned K-1 as a promotion to bridge all the fighting disciplines (regardless of whatever organization they were champions in) to compete under rules that they could successively utilize their techniques. Early K-1 allowed more knees to the clinch/neck-wrestling so long as it was continuous attack and not jockeying around for several seconds to gain decisive leverage and angles like Muay Thai does. This got dropped later on.

>>195454
There's still hundreds of Japanese kickboxers who come from kyokushin karate backgrounds even today.
