Hey /aso/, Bjj'er here, what do you do for cardio conditioning aside from sparring/rolling? I'm looking to improve my cardio

Then don't run, find something else.
You should get a heart rate monitor.
Aerobic conditioning (most important for long term training)
110-130 BPM
130-150 BPM
For 30-45 minutes

I personally like to use a treadmill on a high incline at a fast walking pace. Easier on my knees.

Anything can be used for cardio as long as you keep your heart rate in the correct range for the entire duration.

If you get bored easy, you can make it a little circuit. One thing I used to do at my gym was do: 5 Minutes elliptical->5 minutes on the bag (really have to watch intensity as it is easy to go over)->5 minutes on Hand Bike->repeat

I also like to use Fan Bike just to do upper body only cardio/aerobic work. Keep in mind though that you need to use a lower heart rate for upper body than for lower. Also, you add 5-10 BPM when doing anything where you are sitting.

I've found that my upper body is what fatigues the most, which is why I find the fan bike very important. If you don't have access to a fan bike (they are pretty cheap) or upper body bike, rowing machines are okay but not as good IMO. I have also seen people take a spin bike and flip it upside-down and pedal with their arms.

Erik Paulson recently showed me a alternative for upper body conditioning. It seems so obvious, it is stupid that I never thought of it. You "run in place". Basic, you just stand still while pumping your arms as you would while running. Really exaggerate the motion and make sure to get some elbow motion. Despite having a fan bike in my house, I use these when my hands are too fried to use the fan bike.

Tempo Intervals:
Go at around 70-80% for 10 seconds, then go at a low intensity for 50-60 seconds. Your heart rate should at least drop to 130 BPM between intervals, otherwise you are going to hard. This is to stimulate aerobic adaptations and to help recovery.

allright give it to me. Which style is the best for self defense. The one with the less bullshit, the one that allows you to end the fight then and there with the minimun of movement and exposure.

pipebomb
nothing beats a well placed pipebomb
Doesn't matter what you train, doesn't matter how many moves you know, doesn't matter how big or expensive that gun or knife was, doesn't matter how many people have your back and jump in to help.

Why waste the time and effort practicing moves that may or may not work, where with less time and money you can create a system of protection that instills more fear and harms more people then any fighting style, gun or knife.

With the same amount of money you could invest in a month's worth of groceries you could go to your local wal mart, or hardware store and make a weapon that even soldiers who are better equipped and trained then any street fighter or martial artist fear.

Great heel, but his gimmick was so hot (and poorly timed) that it killed him.

Aikido is bullshit
Seagal is even more bullshit. The lies he would tell about himself. Claiming to be Native American, claiming to be Japanese, claiming to have been in the military.

I wouldn't mind seeing Reigns get the shit beat outta him by SWAGsuke

Before I start, I re-watched the Kill Bill old chink board break scene. The concept there is he, you know, actually punches through a fucking board. I have never seen that happen irl or in a video.


So, I have two questions here:

1. Is there any videos of anyone actually breaking some real shit? As in, not premade to break (muh tkd boards) and not carefully position on its very edges (muh karate bricks).

2. Are there any good books on breaking? I have broken concrete at tkd before, but I really have no clue wtf I am doing. It just seems it's all the way its positioned and concrete crumbles.

1. Are* before people get their panties in a bunch.
>>
When I did breaks there were no divider things like in your picture and it was just people holding them. It's not hard.
>>
First you have to understand why something breaks as it does; when you strike any object, the reason it breaks is because the the energy transferred into the object does not have enough time to return to the medium it is transferred from. If an object's mass or its surface is not dense enough to halt the movement of another incoming object, it breaks. Additionally, physics shows that penetration of the surface of an object is greatly increased in relation to the surface area of the medium transporting the force, or kinetic energy. In other words, the smaller the point of contact, the more focused this kinetic energy is, enabling the object to be broken.

In other words, breaking boards and bricks and the like is little to do with strength and more to do with speed and form. The spacing you see in the picture makes it easier to break each board individually. Otherwise, with such a mass to penetrate, the practitioner would break their hand. It's more of a demonstration of application than anything - it's like a martial arts magic trick.

Now if you want to see something impressive, see Muay Thai kick drills and how people break bats. Because of awkward size and shape, as well as density, it's much more difficult to break a bat. Additionally, because the bat is broken without the assistance of gravity being applied to the object, it's all the more difficult.

>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACqW12LNUoo

See how the bat splinters? It's showing that the kick wasn't clean, as like breaking a board; there was a lot of resistance, and the execution was additionally reliant on the strength of the practitioner.

TL;DR - Bricks and boards, while take a level of practice and legitimate skill, are more of a magic trick in the grand scheme of "breaking things". It's an application of physics and nothing more. To break other items, it will take teaching on how to apply the correct strike in the correct manner and a level of self-durability and strength.

Is archery a legit sport?

I've been looking into it for a while and I'd love to join a club and give it a try, but then I hear people talk about how it's a thing for rednecks and neckbeards who've overdosed on fantasy-shit. Looked up some videos, and that honestly didnt help wash away my insecurity. I'm somewhat neckbeard-y myself, and I really don't want to make a fool of myself and strengthen the stereotype. Is archery really as "dorky" as those people make it seem?

No way, man. Like you said, archery is only for rednecks. All those people competing for medals in the Olympics? Rednecks. All of them. Even the ones from Korea.

1. Could I go to my local archery school and ask to be taught the Lars Andersen technique? would they say yes, or would they be like
> Lars shit, he not real archery

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEG-ly9tQGk

I'm sure this girl has good technique but it's just so slow
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVjdzax519A

2. Could I get a light wooden bow like Lars? I looked at the archery school's website but all they had were these giant heavy metal bows.
>>
>>859231

They're probably not going to teach you trick shooting. Going to a conventional archery club and asking to learn Lars stuff is like going to a shooting range and asking to learn the stunts from Equilibrium.

go to your community college take your classes and transfer to a larger college with junior standing.

this is literally the best, cheapest way to do things, unless your getting a full ride to a 4 year university, you're just wasting money taking core classes at the university level that is basically the same thing you would get a community college.

Thoughts on Asuka? I'm not a weeb and I don't follow anything Japanese so I don't know shit, but she seems better than all other women on the NXT roster, although she could stand to get into better shape and drop the fat.

Trying to find a good martial art for me. I went to a local muay thai gym and they told me literally that instead of trying to counter a kick, or use footwork, i should just try to kick harder than the other guy.

What is the best striking martial art for a smart person?
