Shadow kick boxing in super slow motion, 60 seconds, 30 for the hit and 30 for the return, or as applicable. One round as relaxed as possible, another as tense as possible, alternating which starts with each workout.

Maximally tensing your whole body to absorb blows better.

Golden Bell/Iron Body training: hard taps to the body in various areas until you can hit yourself as hard as you can completely relaxed without injury or pain, until others can slam on you without injury, until people can stab you and it does nothing when you're tensing, until people can stab you when you're relaxing and it does nothing (knife breaks).

Becoming retarded from getting hit in the head is legitimate, but is also a sign you're lacking neuroplasticity. Boost neuroplasticity by breaking habits continuously. This can be by studying the occult (wizard here) which really is a mind fuck that limbers the entire biological system; even the light stuff like elements (hermetics, traditional chinese medicine, etc) and thought force (william atkinson has some good stuff) can really boost neuroplasticity, learning capacity, wisdom and intelligence.

Other ways are learning how to use the less dominant hand in writing and other motor activities that build ambidexterity. If you notice you can flex or move a certain way on one side but not the other, such as moving a shoulder blade a certain way or muscle activation in the obliques, try to reconcile the difference.

Travel, new experiences, creative activities; writing included!; using your senses in new ways; learn how to live blind, deaf – learn how to taste the air and a million things in food, and smell as well as a dog – learn how to see your body with your eyes closed through the mind's eye so you can move perfectly while blind through an environment or when fighting – etcetera.

And finally, if you're smarter than you ever were by developing the mind through sense and intellect, no one would know that fighting dropped your IQ even 20 point – you could have an 180 IQ and be the smartest man in the room every time, but were dropped there from 200 IQ by fighting.

The gains to spirit and body are worth it though; courage, discipline, daring, resourcefulness – these are worth it.

Do the Iron Head training. Taps to the jaw and noggin' until it's iron.

I'm considering learning Muay Thai at the local martial arts place down the street. Eventually plan to get into Armored Combat Leagues once I can afford to buy a suit of armor.

I tend to be a pacifist so I don't like fighting to begin with outside of sports. Every time I've almost gotten into a fight with someone I just pulled my handgun on them and they backed the fuck up.

>getting dumb from punches to the head

You've watched too much boxing or MMA. I started doing karate in high school and never got a hard blow to the head once. Unless you do full contact competition this is not an issue. Sparring during exercise is done with "skin contact", you're supposed to have so much control you just mark the hits with no force.

Even when competing in kumite (vs) it's usually semi-contact, not full contact.

I've also done ju jutsu, judo, and ninjutsu (goes by the name bujinkan taijutsu nowadays).

Ju jutsu can be pretty brutal, it focuses a lot on strangling and potentially lethal techniques where you block the blood flow to the head, (if you maintain a position like this for over 15 secs it leads to permanent brain damage).

Judo strains your back alot and I can't really recommend it because it's shit for self defense too. Throwing someone in a street fight is very dangerous, someone from my club did this in a bar fight and the other guy ended up paralized from the neck down. The thrower got 10 years in jail.

Ninjutsu is better in this regard because it's a military style so there is no free sparring, the focus is on techniques, dodging sword strikes, handling medieval weapons and falling/dodging in general. The main difference to the other jap styles is that bujinkan applies heavy punches and kicks while the other styles uses whiplash type techiques. This is because it was intented to be used with armour, so you need to hit with weight to have any effect.

If you just want to try something harmless, go for ninjutsu/taijutsu.

Bump for a high quality post

>Golden Bell/Iron Body training

Care to share what this consists in? Exercices, routines, etc?

i want to do a lot of martial atema, rts like krav maga, muay thay, boxing, systema and maybe ju jitsu

there are places where they teach this stuff and it's cheap. but the main problem is that they are PC SJW or psycopaths

>>125384

Go for the psychopaths.

>>125385

why?

>>125386

Would you rather spend multiple hours a week with SJW's?

>>125384

>boxing

>SJW

I find that hard to believe.

>>125384

How can they be SJWs at a martial arts club? They discuss feminism in the lockers rooms and force you to shower everyone at once for equality?

It's just martial arts, politics has nothing to do with it.

>>125393

it's argentina

>>125405

it's a safe space free of sexism, homofobia and stuff like that

third world people are less whiny than the first world ones, and that include SJWs

they have a class of "feminist personal defence"

>>125407

At least it's "don't talk about X" rather than "talk bad about Y." They are probably more chill than we give them credit for.

>>125407

Well I don't think I ever experienced either sexism or homophobia at a martial arts club anyway so it's not like it would change anything. The biggest group was "kick and box" aerobics combined with kickboxing where all participants were teenage to early 20s girls with too much make up. If there was any sexism/homophobia I'm pretty sure they were the source of it. The rest of us were there to learn self defense, not talk and think about sex, it's a non issue.

If you feel the need to give comments on someone's ass in the locker room you're not there for the right reason. You'd make a fool out of yourself.

>>125423

>>125424

Thanks for the books and the explanations bro.

>>125433

Yeah, no problem man

Is it possible to shop online for a face guard? Or will I need to try them on to gauge them the best?

>studying the occult

>wizard here

I remember luriking on fringechan few weeks before it went down, any Idea what happened ? where is the userbase now ? any alternative ? I was very interesting in Meditation among other methods as a mean to improve mental capacities and social skills.

sorry for off topic polite sage for that reason

>>125798

I'm not that anon but I also study and practice the occult. /fringe/ on this site is still up, that's where everybody went. It's kind of split right now, there are people who take their work very seriously and there are people who just want to be part of another secret "no normies allowed" club. But it's pretty good overall.

>>125683

I'd take the Muay Thai gym close by, my experiences with judo as posted

>>125338

are not good. The exercise itself can be pretty damaging to your back with all the being thrown and falling and it's useless as self defense because it's only close range. If you already did wrestling you have that part, going for middle to long range should be a natural next step. MMA (from what I've seen) seems to focus a lot on close range because it's how you fight in a ring, but with that as a habit you're putting yourself in a really bad position if attacked in real life as the attacker could have friends and the ground is hard. Going down there should be avoided.

>>125798

> fringechan few weeks before it went down, any Idea what happened ? where is the userbase now ? any alternative ?

It was attacked by spammers and there was a conflict with the owner and the main mod so noone could handle it properly.

There is no good alternative, /fringe/ has no free discussion. I suppose you could ask questions at meguca /squirrel/ but it's pretty much dead. Most occultists discuss in private forums or wordpress blogs it seems.

>>125802

…right. Just as I had posted that, a picture of a church fell down from the wall with a loud crash and the frame scratched the wallpaper leaving a deep cut. This is not the first time shit like this happens when I try to help people here. You /fringe/ fatties really need to stay away, I won't just sit back and tolerate this behaviour.

>>125817

>That was an incredibly gay thing to say

??

>>125796

>that everything

>especially those bicycle kicks

Half the things I can't even figure out what they're trying to accomplish.

>>125798

I'm honestly an extreme neophyte, though I've always tried to glimpse under the universe's skirt.

>>125806

You get attacked by magics a lot?

>>125817

>shilling

C'mon

>>125829

Posting anything of value over at /fringe/ will result in attacks and curses, the place is toxic. Other people have experienced the same thing when trying to help newbs, there is some group of elitists who just hate /fringe/ but they can't simply get rid of it so they let it exist and sabotage discussions instead.

>>125821

>??

>it's time intensive and they drink a lot, which kills gains

Conjecture, and wrong, respectively.

Bad beer sucks cock, good cock sucks beer. Don't forget to drink Everclear.

>everything in moderation, even moderation

>>125829

>C'mon

Nope. Stop it.

>>125843

I don't think you understand what exactly these things are, you basically give up your life for the Burschenschaft. You live in the house, you have to put up with whoever your fellow members are, there are a lot of events every single week, you're meant to study with the others. You start out as a "Fuchs" which is the basic bitch rank, you're expected to do everything your seniors ask from you for at least a year.

>everything in moderation

You have no idea, "drinking a lot" doesn't mean in Germany what it means in Clapistan. These guys are basically militant alcoholics. They do "pabsten", which is forcing yourself to vomit by sticking a finger down your throat, in order to keep drinking afterwards and to reduce hangover. There is a lot of competitive drinking, you're expected to down 1L of beer within a couple of seconds regularly whenever someone challenges you to a "Bierjunge" in the evening. They have fucking dedicated "Pabstkeller" that have tiles up to the walls for excessive drinking and pabsting. It's borderline disgusting.

>>125846

Just to be fair there are quite a lot of advantages as well, you get to live in a huge, beautiful old mansion for ridiculously low prices, most have staff at the bar or a cook, you get access to the seniors at regular meetups who were previously in the Burschenschaft and have good jobs in the industry and can hook you up with an internship or a job easily, they only accept men, and most only accept Christian men, basically you'll rarely ever find non-germans in a Verbindung. And of course they practice a lot of tradition, sing WWI-era songs, follow the old rules in the fights and so forth.

Making movies, making songs

fighting round the world

>I ever experienced either sexism or homophobia

cis scum, you are the sexist one. You aren't taking the women in your club seriously and when you are against another man in a fight you should try to let them win in case they are closet gay and pussy weak.

>>125866

>let them win

You don't win or lose when sparring. But feel free to lose fights in the streets to prove your queerness.

>>125338

Actually boxing is much more dangerous. The thick padding of their creates a whiplash effect. The little 3.5 oz gloves in MMA don't.

I've taken several shots to the head, two very hard. Harden the fuck up.
