Martial Arts News

my question can be extended to all marvel characters but if you had to represent wolverine fighting style as a style from an actual real-life athlete/ fighter, who would that athlete be?

I'm thinking Mike Tyson: he's short, brutal and to the point.

I know wolverine supposedly knows some martial arts and whatnot but honestly I feel it represents him pretty well.

Spiderman, I'd go prince naseem hamed, due to you know the awkward angles dodging and whatnot.

any other ideas?

Hi all, I was reading the codex today and came upon an excerpt about the martial katahs stating that the 10k once had a ranged katah. Is this a thing and was it ever a thing in any other edition?

So hi. I have been playing BitLife for over a year now, and I am a huge fan of Combat sports. I was wondering, if you can Master and Learn different Martial Arts in BitLife why not have like a Fighting DLC where you can fight in Boxing or a Mixed Martial Arts Promotion. The only use I see for Martial Arts in this game is for Self Defense. This would be a great idea if atleast the Devs consider it.

I (35m) have a military and law enforcement background. I just want to do the above-mentioned without being tied down to government work (unless it's contract) and set schedules. What're my options?

Only thing I kinda see this being an option with is by working for an executive protection company or private military company. What's the best company to work for nowadays? Willing to travel/live internationally.

What other options do I have? I feel like private military companies aren't doing these things anymore but I could be wrong. I haven't been following as of late. I'm not looking to be in a day-to-day uniform or stand post as a security guard. I shoot perfect (and/or nearly perfect) scores on all shooting quals, EVO driver trained, train BJJ and other martial arts, athletic build, etc.

Bachelor's degree, military, law enforcement, management experiences, etc. No criminal background and all favorable job experiences + references. Where do I go next?

Hello:

So, I'm a music educator, and have to teach the recorder in school. For some reason the standard has always been "Recorder Karate" which is good, but I feel like the kids are almost just imitating or playing what they think is on the page instead of what's on the page.

After observing some of my more musically gifted students (who breezed through black belt like there's no tomorrow), I realized for them, they likely needed a more challenging method.

Before I say it, please note I'm not trying to be racist, I just thought the name would suite it if you're aware how the martial arts works.

The name of my idea is "Recorder Brazilian Jiu Jitzu". With Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, there's only five belts, but obtaining each belt is more intense compared to obtaining belts in Karate. Regarding Black Belt in BJJ, very few people actually obtain it. I've heard in the world that there are less than 2,000 people who have attained a black belt in BJJ. Less than 1% of all of those who started make it here
Like that characteristic, I figured there should be five pieces that can be taught and worked on to obtain a belt, while the studies in between the "belt tests" teach the students more intense music theory.

Why I posted this here, is because I do not know much recorder literature, aside from Vivaldi that I think would fit the belt characteristics.

Here's what I have so far:
White Belt: Mary Had a Little Lamb
-What sets the Recorder Methods apart is that a white belt is something they have to earn, whereas in the martial art, you start off as a white belt.
-In this case, Mary Had a Little Lamb is an easier song to learn (it was thought to be the easiest until Hot Cross Buns came into the picture), but more difficult than "Hot Cross Buns".

Blue Belt: Ode to Joy
-Someone once said (may have been joking) that getting a blue belt in BJJ is like getting a black belt anywhere else. Others have said that with a little work, a Blue Belt can be attained by most people, but I don't know the validity.
- With this "Ode to Joy" it will not be the "Black Belt Ode to Joy" found in Recorder Karate, but it will be in the original key, and might even have them play the song an octave higher
-The piece that would be played here could be replaced with an easy concerto in literature, but still harder than Mary Had a Little Lamb.

Purple Belt: ???
-I do not know much, but I'll need a concerto that's harder than Ode to Joy, but easier than Vivaldi RV 443.

Brown Belt: Vivaldi Recorder Concerto RV 443 (transposed to be in key with a Soprano Recorder)
-For a brown belt, the Vivaldi Recorder Concerto RV 443 is a good choice since it's likely the most famous recorder literature piece, and will require a lot of practice to learn.
-If there's a more famous Recorder Concerto in Recorder Literature that's as virtuous, please let me know.

Black Belt: Virtuous Recorder Concerto that very few people can play, and those that can are extreme masters
-I don't know if such a piece exists.
-I wanted to keep the characteristic that only very few people in the world can play the piece in this level, similar to how in BJJ, very few people in the world have reached black belt.

As for the study exercises in between the "belt tests", I haven't thought that far into it yet, so I welcome suggestions from you guys.

Hope you all like my idea!

There’s no pokestops or gyms near me and I’m about to get to lvl 37 in a month or so. There’s a small martial arts gym right down the street that comes up on google maps. Would I be able to request it to become a gym or poke stop or does it have to be a certain place?

I (35m) have a military and law enforcement background. I just want to do the above-mentioned without being tied down to government work (unless it's contract) and set schedules. What're my options?

Wondering if endogenous sympathetic activation can help with pssd…. By just literally doing mixed martial arts.

Someone earlier was talking about anticholingergic pathway helped with their pssd by taking donepazil.

I’m wondering if just pure sympathetic stimulation from fighting would help? I do remember the hardest erections I ever got was after jiu jitsu tournaments.

I never returned to martial arts due to injuries though.

I'm a week and a bit out. I'm scared of feeling this pain. Do any of you who have been through it remember if you felt the whole, denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance?

Consciously i've not been in denial but the other day i was teaching kids martial arts, i was in my happy place and I absolutely forgot that'd I was post breakup, my brain/heart/soul was looking forward to calling her on the way home from class.

I've been depressed since it happened. Been angry that we could have worked things out, but accepted that if there was stuff to work out perhaps we weren't as good a fit as it seemed.

Just I guess looking for some peoples experiences of when the pain stops hurting so much and when it's possible to focus on life again, what you experienced in between.

So, I was reading all of my favourite comics about teenage super heroes when I chanced upon a powerful idea: What if these comics… were books?

Bear in mind I’m a big nerd, lol. So I wouldn’t be surprised if I was the only crazy fuck out there walking around with this kind of concentrated genius slopping out of my cock.

I have no idea what the story is and haven’t thought about it and probably won’t. Here are the characters I have painstakingly crafted from the ides of meticulous original thought:

The first character I came up with was Lily Endellion—or ASPHODEL to the team, haha. She can control plants. However, this means nothing really because her real power is that she makes fucken bombs. She has also mastered three styles of martial arts. She’s 13. No, 14.

The second character I came up with was Billy Camden. His codename is Sparrow. I love sparrows! Why do they hop? Anyway he’s good at math.

The third character I came up with was Nick Rhett. When he’s not on the verge of riding lightning through time (he’s almost worked out how!), his hobbies include chemistry and fisticuffs.

The fourth character I came up with was Calliope Adams. Although she’s named after the ancient Greek Muse of epic poetry, she’s a huge dumbass lol. Don’t get it twisted though, bitches / She’s a marksman that never misses (her weapon is a bo staff).

The fifth character I came up with was Piper Frances. She was born a shapeshifter. It’s unclear how she was born a shapeshifter.

At this stage I have completely dispensed with ill-considered code names and the sixth character I came up with, Luke Peters, has no name at all. Well he didn’t. When he joined the team, Lily christened him ‘Luke’ (LOVES Star Wars like I do). Luke… Peters.

The seventh character I came up with was Zuri Nairobi. He is made of cum and will drown you in it.

So I made this post on the navy Reddit but it got taken down. I’m 26 I’m pretty athletic and active I’m an mma fighter and do conditioning to compliment my martial arts training. I also have a small business where I care for and train dogs where in my 2nd year I have been able to make 60k which I will have to abandon if I ship out . My responses to my last made it very apparent the chances of me becoming a dog handler in the navy were slim to none which is my ideal job. Just wanted some advice from some active duty or veterans on this decision. If I tried seals and passed buds would that increase my chances of becoming a handler? I have the urge to serve regardless of working with dogs but my main catch would be using the skills I learn in the military handling dogs and applying it to my business post service. Or would it be a better idea trying another branch?

Currrently a no belt. Future white belt. Met a Check Matt 2th Dan black belt who almost blew my neck up with a choke today.( he was doing a workshop for the martial arts course we were running for the troops. Just to give them some real experience and he was demonstrating technique lol)

As a new usmc martial arts instructor I was like holy crab apples that’s cool af I need to learn how to do that cuz you’re always a student no matter how much you learn

Currently 22 and excited to start my journey and share progress and experiences with you all. Martial Arts is so amazing and humbling. Idk if this post will be removed or anything (I think I’m within the rules) but I’m excited to see all of you alls experiences and share my own on my BJJ journey.

I start Friday. Wish me luck!

I run a martial arts gym for 5+ year olds. I have about 600 sqft of unused space in my studio. Some of the parents have suggested to convert that space into lounge/flex work space, so the parents can get work done or just have a space to relax, instead of waiting in their cars/ or in the gallery. This maybe especially true for parents who pick up kids at 3:00 and would like to bring them straight to my class.

I will incur some renovation costs on this undertaking and the only way to recover is to charge some kind of a membership fee, a small fee like $50/month.

What do the parents in this group have to say – would you pay this fee to access a lounge/flex working space, while your kid is attending martial arts class that typically runs for about 45min. Parents are of course free to use the flex space beyond 45 min of class time or as long as they want.

Read at your own discretion.

I understand team ninja normally puts their characters in some of the newer titles to normally reference something.

I think Williams being in the game references the end of the Nioh series....

Because no Spirit arts,he still uses his sword martial arts after all it's named after the series.

So much of a word as he just straight up attacks you I don't know if there's a way for you to spare him but I think this man has damn near hollowed..

After all this is taking place possibly after his final DLC with the sanada clan...

(I could be extremely wrong, cuz if I remember correctly William is neither living nor dead... As I'm pretty sure he could fold us like an omelet if they didn't nerf him to our level)

I am 23. I love the sport but I have only trained it few times. I would love to start putting a lot of effort into the sport and take it seriously. I love the idea of competiting but I feel like it might be too late for me since I don't have martial arts background etc.. However I have trained tricking for like 6 years (backflips, twists, kicks etc...) so I would say I have pretty good body control which would probably help with Muay Thai(?).

I'm on mobile so forgive any errors. This is the one battle I couldn't win. I've been doing martial arts since I was a kid. It's saved my life on a few occasions

But now I'm just done. I have no motivation anymore. All my research feels meaningless

Staring at my black belt is painfully and I'm honestly thinking I should chuck it with my gloves and my old uniforms
