what martial art would best teach me how to defend myself with a baseball bat?
kendo?
>please dont anyone say kenjitsu...
>>944970
Interesting choice for a weapon, why do you wish to use the bat?
big league chewjitsu
It's extremely unlikely you will need technique if you defend yourself with a baseball bat.
Just smash them in the fucking head, and try not to let them take your bat away and smash your fucking head
>The only way to hit somebody - MUAY THAI
>Only grappling style - JIU JITSU
>Obvious steroid abuser - SUPER ATHLETE

I think he's pretty open about the fact he juices, that's why he wont compete. He said flat out he wouldn't be allowed to because of the drug testing.

evo.com/how-to-choose-skis-size-chart-and-guide.aspx
>What boots should I get?
It is extremely important to get boots that fit you well and to have them heat moulded. Therefore, it is very important to go to a professional bootfitter (not just a ski shop, but specifically a bootfitter). For a list of reputable bootfitters, refer to epicski.com/wiki/boot-fitters-on-epicski
You can also consider getting custom footbeds for increased comfort and performance. If you are a beginner this is not that important (though getting boots from a bootfitter is), but if you are an advanced-expert skier it will make a big difference.
>Why is it so important to go to a bootfitter?/I went to a bootfitter and still have a problem, what's wrong?
epicski.com/a/boot-fitting-which-boot-will-work-for-me
>What bindings should I get?
The most important things to consider with bindings are DIN range and brake width. Your DIN should be around the middle of your binding's DIN range. For example, if you ski with a DIN of 7, a 4-12 binding would be good for you. A 1-7 or a 7-16 would be bad. If you don't know your DIN, look up a DIN chart.
The brake width should be approximately equal to the waist of the ski. It's better for the brake to be a little smaller than a little bigger (ski shop techs can bend the brakes when they mount the bindings), but if you go more than 7mm or so smaller the brakes might not fit well. Going up to about 10mm wider on the brakes is alright too as long as you don't carve really aggressively.

Thinking about going back to Judo. I stopped loving it for a while but I want to go back.
>>860759
So go? What's stopping you?
>>860638
Okay. Got fat and weak over Christmas break, and definitely felt it when I got back on the mats.
Working on my Ippon seoi nage and alternate attacks from there. (Ippon seoi ko uchi gari and ippon seoi harai goshi, I guess? ) Some success, but they're still more of a surprise attack than a toqui waza for me.
Working on harai goshi and IUchi Mata from a close in, high sleeve and armpit grip, too, since I usually end up fighting lanklets.
Any Judo related Christmas gifts? I've got a sweet Matsuru gi on the way.
pic related, sans leg grab, is what I'm trying.
>While it was apparently always the plan of WWE to have Triple H win the Royal Rumble, having Ambrose as one of the final two is not what the company had planned. Ambrose in the final two was the “audible” that WWE called halfway through the match.
>According to Cageside Seats, one of the last two with Triple H was meant to be Roman Reigns, not Dean Ambrose. The crowd reaction to Reigns throughout the match is what caused WWE to change things up from the original plans and replace Reigns with Ambrose.
Does this mean Dean will get a babyface push instead of Roman, while Roman turns heel?
>>921153
>have Reigns out of the match for a half hour
>expect him to be cheered
>>921153
Would be nice. Dean would obviously work against the authority ala Steve Austin and overness
>>921157
It wouldn't have mattered. He's not going to get over, they're past a year of trying. I could see him being a decent heel but that will depend on him actually giving a fuck and being aware of his role.
>>921153
>understand that everyone hates reigns
>continue to push reigns
Is Roman over?
AJ Styles is more over than him..
tl;dr No, he's not over. Not really.
Extremely mixed reaction. Mostly just kids and fat chicks love him because of his looks and his entrance.
He's only a half-decent wrestler.
He's a shitty talker.
His moveset is limited.
He has shit cardio.
His gimmicks are annoying.
He has no understanding of the business.
He doesn't connect with the audience / can't play it like Cena/Rock/Austin/virtually anybody else on the roster to be honest.
They've proven they can get him over for a short while when they make him do badass things, but then they go back to making him do dumb shit that makes everyone hate him again.
Putting him in a match with Lesnar and Ambrose was very brave and (mostly) very stupid. He's going to be booed again unless they find some sort of miracle love potion to spray on crowds that make them instantly fall in love with him.
