It really is a good site, if only to log your workouts. Much less complicated and annoying than most and the point thing while completely meaningless still somehow help motivate you to log your stuff. The social aspect also helps somehow.

A flying piece of posted:Here are my three fights... critique them please, even if you don't really know anything about swords. General rules: full body, except back of the head, were targets... a clean hit is a point, a double hit (a hit at about the same time) was thrown out and an after blow (a hit in response to a received hit that is performed within one step, half a second, one tempo or whatever you want to call it) that negates the other guy's point. Blows to the head would preclude afterblows. That looks awesome. In your second fight that looked like quite a vicious hit on you @ 1:30. A flying piece of posted:And then from the sword and buckler finals, this is an American (who lives in Norway) fighting a guy who doesn't do HEMA at all.. he does some type of stick fighting and JSA. I'm not really sure how he got to the final fight, but the HEMA girl beat him: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7bh9RHfOnI hahaha the way he waves the weapon annoyingly is kind of a FMA tip off. I googled him and low and behold - he does FMA and...shinobijutzu aka ninjitsu weapons (which might explain the awkward footwork and square stance). His opponent looked way more finessed. edit: posting this again because it's what I think of every time medieval weapons come up:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDdTB1GzHJw Bangkero fucked around with this message at 06:30 on Nov 17, 2011 |

The first thing I noticed is that he crosses his feet quite a bit. And at times he leans his body way way off center when he strikes and after striking. Super awkward.

Have you ever seen a guy who just got laid trying to fight? He just doesn't have the same aggression. It seems to me that's like asking if a hungry man is a better hunter than a well-fed one.

Guilty posted:Ok, someone offer some more insight on this debate: it really depends on people... I know my friends who played high level competitive hockey had different opinions on the issue. Some said they performed better when they had sex before (like not 5 minutes before because that can be exhausting) because they thought more clearly/were more calm/focused others thought it was a bad idea to have sex because they were more aggressive/intense if they didn't have sex before. Personally I don't give a gently caress and have never noticed sex affecting me one way or the other when it comes to performing in competitive sports.

Did I just get a concussion? Tonight at judo practice I tried to block an uchimata but failed. Ended up falling on my head which was under the other guy shoulder which supported all his weight. For a millisecond, all was black with "stars" (like when you get up too fast). I got up feeling a little scared that I just had a concussion but all was fine. Didn't feel different, no headache, 100% ok vision, no memory loss, nothing was feeling different at all. It's been about 1 hour since it happened and I drove home feeling fine if not a little worried. Right now I feel fine too and everything seems normal to me. What's the verdict? And should I take a week off or something? - swmmrmanshen posted:So I sprained my ring finger on my right hand. Judo is gonna be EXTRA fun now. Tape that motherfucker! I sprained my thumb and now 3 weeks later it's still the most annoying thing ever. Tape it for twice as long as you think you should. Then tape it a couple weeks more. Sprained fingers love to come back to haunt you at the worst time ever. KingColliwog fucked around with this message at 03:54 on Nov 18, 2011 |

It's been sprained for a while. I've just been in denial. Like most other annoying injures (TURF TOE COUGH COUGH) there's nothing to do but tape and suck it up

Re: Fitocracy do you guys have preferred or handy methods of logging your exercises?

not the same amount of point. Just for fun would be well relaxed practice where you just dick around. Practice would be the most regular class ever (I tend to use it for warm-ups). Drilling when you well... Do drills most of the class and sparring for when you spar/roll most of the class. I like to break down the class in 2-3 blocks to represent better what we did. Thoguh posted:I use "practice" to cover warm ups and poo poo like that, "drills" for... drills, and "sparring" for randori. I don't bother breaking out the stretches and individual warm up stuff.

I think you're ok. I'm not a doctor but if you didn't lose consciousness and have no lingering affects, it's probably alright to keep on training.

I might have gotten a mild concussion in my first tournament when a guy in the absolutes, with more than 50 pounds on me threw me on my head partially outside the mat. I didn't even consider it a concussion until someone on this forum mentioned that a second of visual white noise and completely muted sound usually indicates a concussion. I immediatedly recovered and kept fighting, though

I met a boxer today - though he was an amateur at most. I proclaimed "let us box" to which he responded "Yes". I said "Good". He beat me up from close so I change range, at which point he punched me with an overhand right that had me staggering and stunned, which is perfectly laudable, and then he caught me with another one because I learn nothing, and that cut my left eyebrow and eyelid. No boxing for me for a while before my face heals and the wounds close. Was fun albeit the results, I haven't really done Boxe Anglaise (hands only) since the summer and was a little wary about it. But never figured I'd get beat up THIS bad or have my temple busted or eyelids slashed into ribbons. If anyone is thinking "wtf, you shouldn't cut people up, during sparring" it was my fault, I was too much into the "hands + distance + angle + kick" -Savate thing and we used to be pretty evenly matched with this guy, say, a year ago (meaning he'd bruise me and win on points for sure but not just land flush like today). Good day anyway. Re: Fitocracy posters: thanks for the tips guys, parring, practice etc. Because on that site, all that stuff is not quite instantly obvious (or then I'm just a moron).
