Soup, fellow /asp/ies!
28yo poor man here.
I have crippling confidence issues and have had them since I was a kid getting picked on by the other kids who were lucky to grow up with friends next door (I was surrounded by seniors despite not living in a senior community). As I'm getting older it's developing into severe social anxiety - so much so that I haven't left my room for anything other than food, bathroom, and work for the past 9 years.
I'm sick of living like this and have been for some time, but I feel so helpless and I don't know where to start.
I am getting in shape (calisthenics and kayaking) but my confidence/anxiety isn't improving at all and in fact seems to be getting worse now that I'm really focusing on my body. I think my anxiety and confidence issues are because I wasn't able to defend myself as a kid, and I haven't had any opportunities to change that. I did Karate at a local McDojo when I was 10, but only because my grandparents paid for the first month. After my "free month" was over my parents couldn't afford the monthly fee so I had to stop.
Our financial situation hasn't changed, and I'm still living at home with my folks at almost 30 years old. My father makes it a point to make me aware of the burden I've become every chance he gets. Without looks, money, or toughness I might as well just give up and die because I won't ever make anything of myself like this.
I have no friends - the ones I had are shitheads that sexually prey on highschool girls and didn't really give a shit about anyone but themselves. My brother's friend is an ex-judo teacher that refuses to teach me. My brother isn't interested in fighting at all. I have no like-minded individuals to help me, and I can't afford to pay a teacher. How can I go about learning a self-defense MA with absolutely no resources and nobody to practice with?
tl;dr: Severe anxiety, poor, no resources and no help from others - how can I go about learning a self-defense MA like this?
buy a gun
The self defense martial arts for poor people are judo and American boxing. Pick one and do it for a few years, then do the other and you are all set.
>>1416982
Did you miss the part where I'm poor? MSRP on a gun is at least $200 for the low-end models - then I'd need ammo, cleaning supplies, a range to practice, etc. Aside from all that my state (NJ) does not issue carry licenses to anyone that is not a LEO so it's really not an option.
What are the different types of wrestling fans? I'm not talking about 'underage' or whatever. For example, some people love cruiserweights, some people love hardcore matches etc etc.
What are the different types of wrestling fans?
I think there are 3 kinds of wrestling fans! You have your marks and old school guys who like to see the big clean match-ups between the big names! You have your more devoted fans who like certain divisions and heavily follow the indy scenes of said divisions! Then you have your "shock smarks" as i call em who are there for the few, yet great shock/gruesome moments of the year to bring them back to the attitude era or to simply excite them enough to mark out! I think these groups are about even and encompass about everyone, but if u think i missed any feel free to tell me so!

>However, following the events of Money In The Bank, Seth Rollins decided to feed his hunger, by heading off over to the Andiamo Italian Steakhouse inside The D Casino Hotel, where he enjoyed a beautiful meal. Seth chowed down on a special Bone-In Ribeye steak and a nice Caesar Salad, which was prepared for him at table side. After polishing that off, Seth then tucked into a traditional Tiramisu Dessert, which he clearly enjoyed.
who gives a fuck
is that gnocchi on the side?
table side caesar salad is stupid meme shit though I remember I had to do it two shifts a day for an entire summer

Razor Ramon.

Mark Henry.
Owen Hart.
Carlito could've been a great cocky heel champ for Cena to stomp back in 2008. Could've been pretty good to be honest

Why do you smarks unironically refer to wrestlers as their past stage names?
Is this an attempt to showcase your vast wrestling knowledge? Truth be told you look like a complete and utter loser and believe me, no one is impressed. Please stop.
>El Generico
>Claudio Castagnoli
I call him Festus as a joke and cause I can't remember which is which in the Club
>referring to them by their slave names
Mods pls give wrassling-fags their own board.
no ;^)
why are toy gun kiddies/martial arts autists getting so worked lately?
>>1416479
To be honest, it would be better for everyone. How would anyone know that "Alternative Sports" is the board for pro wrestling without someone else telling them? This is why /asp/ is doing so much worse than /r/squaredcircle. Seriously, only like 20 people are here.
Post your fave five hotties in WWE right now.
1. Seth Rollins
2. Randy Orton
3. Dean Ambrose
4. American Alpha
5. John Cena

How come you don't see pro wrestlers from Huezil or Argentina?
>>1415542
Pro Wrestling isn't that big in Huezil.
There was going to be a Brazilian wrestler in the Cruiserweight thingie WWE was making it, but for some reason he isn't wrestling there anymore.
He had a wacky capoeira gimmick
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1IVM0rO_d0
>>1415542
Huezil stuck with actual fighting and that's why they've been a force in MMA since day 1 and everyone that wants to do well trains brazilian jiu-jitsu.
>>1415542
An argie is one of the greatest wrestlers and draws of all time
Giant gonzales...
Nah joking he was called Antony Rocca i think and pretty sure he was from before Sammartino's time
Without a doubt.
he is gonna come back as a heel
>>1415480
Aaaaaw come ooooon
>>1415480
No he won't, people might actually like him if he did.
>>1415480
I'm not sure he's really coming back at all. At least not as a main eventer.
Dude couldn't draw, and now he has the audacity go and fall a drug test.
Vince may have gone off him. He can some other island nigger.
