Does your country have its own martial art?

They certainly are type of wrestling, yes. They do, however, possess certain idiosyncrasies that make the distinct. For example, in Huka-Huka the competitors being the match on their knees as opposed to standing; in Canary Wrestling, the grabbing of an opponents attire is permitted. They also seemingly developed independent of the international forms of wrestling (Freestyle, Greco Roman)

savate which comes from boxing

I don't think it is widely practiced,it was a Portuguese form of staff fighting. I honestly wouldn't mind trying it tho,it's pretty grounded and realistic form of weapon training.

I once watched a Youtube video about it and I think I remember it being said that they developed the techniques by using it against wild Boars or something similar.

Never heard that(its likely tho) the past Shepard's used to carry sticks all the time. Therefore they developed this style as a way of self defense,and even village conflicts. It's basically just stick and staff fighting,so probably kind of useful.

But it's actually a frankestein monster made from different martial arts
youtube.com/watch?v=f6i8mTJ5DI8

Spain developed an unique version of fencing called destreza. It was designed like a martial art, maximizing defence, and involved moving in circles to get a good angle and then killing your oponent with a single hit or some shit like that. youtu.be/FLEvUr9hVU4

I have included it here
How many Russians practise Sambo? Have you ever tried it yourself?

Very interesting. Is this a completely different form of sword fighting or is it a series of techniques to apply while fighting?

desu i wish i was living in russia just because of the quality of training of wrestling, sambo and other martials sport.

Yeah, it's like saying karate and Muay Thai are just kickboxing. Also, concerning the thread, I think martial arts (particularly East Asian) are just degenerated forms of a war-applicable broad and general martial art that once covered everything, even going into tactics a bit. All the 'philosophical' and spiritual shit is just coping for what is effectively performance arts or otherwise strictly limited games. And sometimes even fake shit meant to be sold to disciples for fame and fortune of a school/creator. Not that they're bad or anything, just saying their origins would be the only true martial arts because they are developed by centuries of continuous warfare.

I think it is not humans who developed the best style of wrestling.

Judging by the memoirs of nobles, the Polish saber was a quite distinct fencing style but it's little more than LARPing nowadays. It was all oral tradition and nobody ever bothered to write a treatise on the subject.

I practiced it a little. It basically is wait for an attack and make an awesome parry. The philosophy behind that is that the true destreza is not to kill your opponent, but to make him realize that he has no opportunity to win. The teacher showed us a move in wich you have the opponent in a checkmate-like position and if he moves, he gets stabbed in the heart. At that moment you have to ask him if he wants to die fighting or surrender.

It requires a lot of reflexes to master, since tracking two blades is really difficult. I managed to break an opponents sword with a parry designed to grab it. Very exciting.

How heavy are the swords that you practice with? Do they have the potential to injure your training partner? Have you ever competed?

It looks like it, yeah. I should have read through the thread beforehand, desu.

How popular is it in Switzerland? Have you ever competed? Is Matthias Sempach famous?

The right hand sword was around 5kg, but I don't know exactly. It was enough for you to handle without much effort but you would get tired if you fight with it for 20 minutes. The litle one was very light, didn't get tired at all. The practice swords had the tip rounded obviously, but I got bruises many times. Especially when the teacher stabbed me in the armpit, very nasty technique. I never competed, it was just to try the thing.

Bullfighting is savage butchery.

Not any worse than eating meat, yet everyone does it. Hypocrites.

Not that I hold a strong opinion one way or another, but there is a practical use for slaughtering animals for meat as opposed to bullfighting which is recreational.

Yes, eating meat is totally the same as as torturing an animal for sport. Great logic, moor.

Attached: ns-victor_bario-10july.jpg (780x520, 47K)

Doing it for food is different from doing it for amusement. That's just sick.

> torturing an animal for sport

Its a slaughter, the bull is eaten

And even if its not the same, we dont need to eat meat anymore, you can have a vegitarian diet and be healthy, yet you choose to support slaughterhouses just so you can eat your juicy steaks, hypocrite.

Cattle generally isn't poked with sticks for hours, but killed with a bolt to the head. And we have even higher standards to slaughterhouse conditions than the EU, that's why we don't buy meat from Germany etc.

Wait I thought that Portugal didn't kill the bull, is this some sort of weird bait.

If the bull wins do you eat the bullfighter? (the bull should get choice cuts, cattle can digest a bit of meat)

Yeah, the EU's standards are pretty terrible. Probably to accomodate shitholes like Portugal.

the sport is devided into to categories. sport glima and combat glima. there's a club in Krokstadelva, Norway were they even learn how to fight with weapons. Not a 100% sure of the rules, and I have never tried the sport before. Gonna have to try it out when I move out of town!

two categories*

The bull isnt killed on the arena, but it is killed and meat normally goes to local restaurants

lol triggered, Sweden will be more of a shithole in a few years, in many ways it already is.

I'm saving this one for the next time I see a d*ne.

Thank you for your reply.

We have this thing called "Puukkohippa"

That is strange to me. Why isn’t the bull nursed back to health so he can fight again? Cattle is smarter than cats and horses, the bull can learn form past mistakes and improve his fighting style.

No never tried it.These competitions happen once a year and people that participate are mostly amateurs with jobs who do it as a hobby so there isn't a comprehensive list but mostly the same 10-15 people get to the finals each year.The list below is all the champions since 1924:

We have our own variant of kick boxing. Based on karate, but more boxing oriented than muay thai.

Its a slaughter, it is supposed to die for the meat. Back in the day you couldnt farm bull, if you wanted one, you had to hunt it like any other wild animal, it became ritualist and became a tradition. No one is going to raise wild bulls for normal slaughter, so its bullfighting or extiction.

Thank you for the response. I saw Recep Kara and Ismail Balaban compete so I know they'd be some of the top guys. Recep Kara has participated in international Greco Roman wrestling as well.

Yes, you produce many great Kickboxers. I believe the art was brought to the Netherlands by Jon Bluming.

Scratch that; he competes in Freestyle wrestling, not Greco Roman.

We kill the bull later and eat him.

I think Jan Plas introduced the Netherlands to kick boxing, but he was a student of karate of Jon Bluming. And Thom Harinck created our fighting style I believe.

But I'm not an expert on this.
