I used to compete in BJJ, now my knees too fucked. I can wear a brace for practice but the ibjjf doesn't allow braces with metal for competition. Feels bad man.

what do you want faggot

BMX racing

I also compete in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. It terrifies me though.

HEMA, after 2 years i finally felt confident enough to participate in a few local tourneys since traveling around to fight people is expensive. Super fun stuff but i always feel like a turtle when i get in full gear and can't do all the cool shit i have in mind

what the fuck is hema all about? European sword fighting? What does that mean? looks cool though

not just swords. wrestling daggers sticks boxing all that shit is contained within. the basis is drawn from historic records and books. it's basically a martial art like kung-fu or some shit but since it can be scored easily it also has the sport side. the simple explanation would be: 2 dudes wail on each other with steel bars

I run in competitive heats at various OCRs. Had 2 top 10 Spartan race finishes but that's it

how much do you train a week?

Dunno where these tournaments get their rules at

>Be me, go to "goodfight" sub only tournament

>No twisting locks, electric chairs, or cups?

>My face when I pop a dudes arm across my un protected scrotum

Shit was ridiculous, one guys match went for 45 minutes I bet

I play tennis for a club. Pretty fun, lots of cardio and coordination required.

I wrestle. Just wrestling folk at the recreational level now. "Open" age division at all-ages tourneys. It's fun, went 3-0 and won a tournament Sunday

>skipping chest day

Highschool football
Junior year ending in a couple of weeks
I’m a year older than everyone else (18) so I’m a lot more developed
I’m pretty strong but I’m one of the slowest defensive players on my team, probably has to do with when I run I usually throw up from all the black and milds

age?

This. Where the fuck does a tfw 30 years old guy go to train wrestling ?

Bruceposter here, 28

Karelin guy, 17

>17
quick lie before you get banned because of me

I wrestle at a college nearby--coach just lets me and another weekend warrior use the room sometimes. Once I dominate everyone on this level (I'm almost there) I'll try to make the jump to freestyle.

Yeah I'm that 30 years old man but part of being old is you give less of a fuck all the time. Very serious about breaking into wrestling and/or fighting, fuck normies. Already have my day job down to part time so I can train

Where do you train?

19 ;)

I swim competitively
>Otter mode
>Never have any free time. Either swimming/lifting or studying
>Swimming made me lean and strong but also a social autist

see
There are also clubs for adults looking to wrestle, just Bing it breh. Anywhere wrestling is popular there will be at least some tourneys with an Open age group

I was wondering this yesterday. What training do you do? Do you just swim?

I also dabble in BJJ since its my off season

>12 workouts a week
>8 swim
>4 lift
I would lift more but it's the schedule set by my coaches

Do you only do sprints or long swims or what? Also what do you lift? Numbers and exercises?

It's usually a lot of long distance and IM for me because I'm a distance swimmer. Usually 1-2 days of Sprint and split the rest between distance and IM
For lifting I usually do alot of reos and progress to heavier weight
>Squat 20-16-12-8-3x4
Also alot of clean/snatch
Running/box jumps also alot of my routine

Also abs everyday forgot to mention that part usually before I get in the pool and at the end of lifting

Mma/ Bellator though so not top tier but I'll get there

I miss it. Competition tells you so much about the weaknesses in your game.

I'm a college junior that wants to play rugby, any advice for joining my schools club? It seems pretty small and the site says anyone can join but idk, the sperg in me is telling me not to.

Brown belt in bjj, getting ready for nationals in June.
