the good thing about eastern martial arts is that they serve as sort of a lighthouse of people to avoid interacting with

for example, if someone unironically tells me they practice some kind of kung fu or tae kwon do poo poo or has it on their resume then i know with full certainty that they are some kind of spergo retard

The fighter matters way more than the system in question.

This is really the biggest factor. Mostly hyper-aggression and conditioning which Crossfit is perfect for the type of conditioning you should have. I wrestled in high school and I wish so bad that Crossfit had existed back then because I would have been so much more in shape in the manner required.

I hear a lot of people talk up cross fit, especially some of the people I know that do combat sports/MAs on the side, but then I hear a lot of fitness people bash it as being dangerous. Seems like it must be decent for at least conditioning, albeit unsafe. Even a few fencers I know do it.

Also, reading about kickboxing in the kickboxing thread makes it seem like it has some of the most ridiculous poo poo going on behind the scenes compared to even normal boxing or MMA.

the basics of crossfit:

oly lifting (C&J, snatch)
power lifting (squat, deadlift)
kettlebells
limited plyometrics (box jumps)
calisthenics (pushups, pullups, crunches)
running

NONE of these are dangerous to a healthy individual with proper technique. Bottom line. Some fitness people poo poo on it because it's more effective than what they are selling and they want your money.

sorry we had a crossfit megathread for a really long time with thousands of examples of all the retarded poo poo crossfitters do and the universal realization that if you applied "That hyper aggression" toward real actual exercises you'd be much better off.

If you aren't doing the body destruction stuff and instead are just working out really hard at a branded "Crossfit" gym then congrats you are a yuppie and could do the same thing literally anywhere else for 10% of the money.

I don't follow MMA much less this thread but why was ronda a fraud? didn't she legit beat a bunch of other broads for the belt, or was it rigged

i would venture to bet that her body generates enough testosterone to be on the right tail of a bell curve which basically makes her king of girl beating regardless of any kind of special training

Does anyone have that story about the last olympic marathon before steroids became commonplace, IIRC the ending was "these guys collapsed from exhaustion a quarter-way through, one poo poo himself before almost dying, this guy won because he jogged half the way then took a cab to the finish line"

not saying roid jokes arent funny, just that these fights would last like 20 seconds if they werent ruining their bodies, humans are kinda pathetic when not using our advantage (branes)

rezatahs posted:

everyone knows if want to compete in high endurance sports you got to juice it up

just look at any modern competitive marathon runner and tell me they aren't juiced to the loving gills

these comments are so dumb that i doubt you can feed yourselves safely

i wrestled in high school and some in college and never took steroids and also did a bit of ultramarathon and my military combat (line) training, etc

you see the person in the uniform that meets marathon runners at the finish line in the olympics?? yeah, that person is not allowed to let the runner leave their sight once finishing till they watch them produce a urine sample and then it is run through a full panel....2 hour marathons can be legitimate but if you need more reasons to rationalize your sedentary lifestyles then go ahead but at least be honest about it

"Crossfit is the best possible form of physical fitness and people talk poo poo because they are jealous of it's greatness"
"The Olympics doesn't have any steroids because people test for it."

I mean if you are "Robot Pride" because you are a literal robot that has programming for brains and is trying to understand the complexities of the world you live in and human interaction then I'll give you a pass.

I don't know a lot about this MMA stuff but dang, that cyborg lady is built like a tank.

why does fighting always have to be the dramatic ending with these people?

watching them passionately eat each other's snatches is equally if not more dramatic of an ending

why the gently caress would anyone cast ronda rousey for roadhouse?

people liked patrick swayze because they liked watching him give roundhouse kicks to people's faces

ronda is only good at taking roundhouse kicks to the face

is it some kind of inverse perspective movie where you get to empathize with the people on the other side of the story and understand their struggle?

Is the Roudhouse movie even still going on? You'd think the studio would pull it since no one cares about Rousey anymore. Would be better with Gina Carrano anyways. Or an actual actor that can act instead of trying to tie it in with MMA. Or just stop remaking loving movies already.

the last option is correct
