How come in games like chess, ping-pong, bowling, pool, badminton, bjj women and men don't compete in the same groups?
Since strength and size are minimally important and what matters mostly is skill...
>>698502
Because en are fundamentally better at everything which doesn't require manipulation, back-stabbing, mood swings and asking which x you prefer then sulking because they wanted the other one after all.
>>698502
Because men are terrible sore losers who get problems with their self esteem when they lose to a woman.

Really nice osoto with the mechanics of a knee cut pass, however i cringe, if uke didn't know how to fall its a good way to destroy a person's knee, Hell even with good ukemi this osto variant could pop a person's knee with enough speed to it.

>tfw no Big Red Machine vs Big Evil in a retirement inferno casket match
Newfriends often ask what style they should do so I'm going to break it down into an easy list based on country of origin for you.
>China
Completely avoid anything style from China. It's either utter bullshit or inferior to comparable styles
>Thailand
Legit as fuck. 10/10 would fuck ladyboy's with
>Japan
A bit of a mixed bag. There's some legit stuff like kyokushin, judo and shooto but plenty of bullshit like aikido, shotokan and jujutsu.
>Europe (I'm aware Europe isn't a country but I can't be fucked doing individual entries)
Generally legit. Boxing, savate, sambo and various folkstyle wrestling are all great. Systema is completely bullshit.
>Korea
All shit. You know how China is famous for shitty copies? Korea is the martial arts equivalent.
>MURRRRICA
I feel wrestling should be considered american at this point since availability is fairly hit-and-miss elsewhere. Wrestling is great. However, there's lots of bullshit involved with "homegrown systems" such as kaijukenbo
>Israel
As you'd expect of the land of trade princes the only contribution Israel makes to martial arts is scamming the goyim. Hitler literally did nothing wrong.
America has some of the best MMA gyms in the world as well

Can anyone find any decent self teaching books for any martial art? Or is the general consensus that they're bull?
Already got a judo one, which I've properly trained in for a couple years, but can't get to a dojo anytime soon.
TL;DR need books to teach myself any decent martial art.

Mike тАШTankтАЩ Abbott Offers Ronda Rousey $100,000 If She Can Beat Him
Ronda Rousey has gained an incredible amount of press attention over the past year as a result of her brilliant UFC record of 12 wins тАУ 0 losses. The female fighter is the biggest name in the competitive sport and looks to set the new attendance record for any UFC event with her November 14th fight against Holly Holm on at MelbourneтАЩs Etihad Stadium.
However, despite these impressive statistics, UFC legend Mike тАШTankтАЭ Abbott has responded to comments that claimed Rousey would be the one and only fighter to defeat тАШPretty BoyтАЩ Floyd Mayweather, who has a current undefeated record of 49-0.
Abbott, a UFC veteran himself, has said that Mayweather would тАШknock the living stuffingтАЩ out of Ronda Rousey, and that anyone who believes otherwise has been smoking some seriously strong medical marijuana. To back up his claim, he has put $100,000 on the table to fight against Rousey, and she gets the money if she wins.
And what does Abbott get if he wins? Or, in his words тАШwhenтАЩ he wins (heтАЩs very confident about it) тАУ she has to make him a sandwich.
https://youtu.be/jELuubUpL9Q
Despite being incredibly misogynistic terms, Abbott has most definitely opened fire at Rousey, and says that there is no way that she would be able to beat him because тАШsheтАЩs a girlтАЩ.
Now, IтАЩm no professional UFC fighter but hereтАЩs a couple of points. Tank Abbott has lost more matches than heтАЩs won during his career тАУ his record shows 10 wins тАУ 15 losses, which suggests to me that heтАЩs definitely not that great a fighter. Also, heтАЩs big, old, and slow as f*** compared to Rousey, whoтАЩs main martial art is Judo, which if you didnтАЩt know, uses a personтАЩs size and weight against them as its main form attack.
And if youтАЩre still unsure, take a look at this video of a 250lb body builder fighting a 150lb Jiu Jitsu champion. Guess who wins!
https://youtu.be/kjFp1R5klo4
>>737865
Tank is being an idiot, which isn't much of a surprise. But he's trying desperately to be relevant in some way. Last I heard of him, he was reduced to backyard wrestling with a former UFC competitor that's worked at a car dealership for the last decade.
I seriously doubt he actually HAS $100,000 to his name to put up.
I feel like $100,000 to her isnt even worth getting out of bed for
He's out of line here but I don't fucking care. He's given me the funniest moment in MMA history.

Sign this petition for the injustice brought upon Nick Diaz by the NSAC. He has received the longest ban in mma history for failing 1/3 fight night tests for marijuana. With the failure being extremely questionable. Even if nothing happens it will show the corrupt NSAC that people will not sit by while they play God in the courtroom. The petition has over 40,000 signatures already in 4 days. It has to reach 100k and its growing by the day as people like Joe Rogan and Ronda Rousey speak out. Please take 30 seconds to sign, anons.
>>734036
ill sign that shit man
>>734036
Please don't sign. This is the third time this guys failed for pot. People who make the same retarded decisions over and over should be scorned.
However, I think the pot rule is silly. So instead of signing a petition for a dumb bass, how about you make a petition for actually changing the rule?
I seriously hate stupid people. Fuck Nick Diaz. "Gee I'll just keep breaking the same rule that I kept getting caught and punished for! I wonder what would happen if I do it again!" For fucks sake, it's not that hard to beat one of those tests when you know it is coming.
honestly MMA is better without people like him
he is exactly the type of person we dont want in martial arts, even if he is a good fighter
How effective are nunchucks as weapons
You can hit someone real hard, from slightly further away than they can punch you, so okay I guess. I'd rather have a stick the length of the two, myself, but I'd also rather have nunchucks than nothing. I imagine if shields were still a thing people used they might be nice in being more annoying to parry than a stick.
there is no playing with nunchucks- you'd really have to go for the kill
They CAN be effective, however, when they hit something it's way harder to recover than when just doing flourishes.
Also keep in mind it's meant for threshing wheat, and it's not actually designed as a weapon.
Since martial arts (BJJ in particular) claim that their strengths are fighting against larger opponents, why does MMA have weight classes?
Surely since martial arts all talk of nullifying the size difference with their techniques having weight classes is not needed and a tiny 5'6" 120lb manlet could knock out or tap a 6'3" 220lb beast?
Because MMA is a sport

>Diaz (26-9 MMA) received a five-year suspension and $165,000 fine for positive marijuana tests at UFC 183
>Diaz tested positive for the substance twice in the past and the NSAC cited his repeat offense status into the punishment.
>тАЬIтАЩm pretty pissed off,тАЭ Diaz told MMAjunkie after the hearing. тАЬFirst of all, this sport, this commission and everybody, theyтАЩve done everything they can to keep me from being all the way on top where I should be."
>тАЬThose people are nothing but a bunch of crooks up there...
They got me in here sweating bullets in a freaking court room with my lawyers because they all think IтАЩm going to flip out and do something really nuts like I was about this close to doing. I just think that itтАЩs bullshit."
>Diaz said he was eager to speak his mind during the commission but instead let his lawyers represent his side of the argument. He shared his thoughts on the NSACтАЩs commissioners afterwards though.
>тАЬI wanted to tell them what I think; I wanted to tell each and every one of that theyтАЩre a bunch of dorks,тАЭ Diaz said.
>тАЬI wanted to tell them all, тАШLook, you guys are way the f-ck out of line. You guys are trying to hold me down from Day 1.тАЩ
>DiazтАЩs lawyers plan to appeal the NSAC ruling, but itтАЩs unknown how long that process will take. For now, though, Diaz must pay the fine and his license to compete in Nevada is suspended until Jan. 31, 2020 тАУ five years from the date of the UFC 183 contest. Moreover, Diaz will not be able to acquire a license to corner other fighters, which means he cannot corner his brother Nate Diaz for his December UFC bout.

>Diaz initially suffered a unanimous decision loss to Silva at UFC 183. However, Silva also tested positive for banned substances around the event. SilvaтАЩs drug tests were not for marijuana, though, but rather a variety of anabolic steroids.
>Silva, a former UFC middleweight champion, was fined $380,000 for his positive test, but only received a one-year suspension. Diaz said the difference in punishment is perplexing, especially because steroids are universally considered to be a far more dangerous substance.
>Until DiazтАЩs representatives can file an appeal and move the case forward, he will be suck on the sidelines waiting for the situation to unfold. Diaz said heтАЩs not sure what heтАЩll do in that time, which is particularly infuriating because he wants to fight as soon as possible.
>тАЬIтАЩm looking at doing this (until) next year, if anything; IтАЩm not doing nothing but high-profile fights,тАЭ Diaz said. тАЬAnybody that they try to tell you is the best fighter in the world right now at 170, 185 тАУ we donтАЩt know that now. IтАЩm pretty sure itтАЩs me. IтАЩm pretty damn confident itтАЩs me.
>тАЬ(IтАЩll be doing) nothing I guess. TheyтАЩre not going to let me fight. IтАЩm going to go teach jiu-jitsu. IтАЩll teach you how to throw a punch.
