we just got a lot of good footage in Southern California yesterday with @Robtheroman. Should be coming soon.

boxing sparring

Awesome

that last fight, Will just kept circling back 😅

i was waiting for him to be more offensive

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7K6vgS333H0&feature=share

A must watch

@Deleted User haha you know we can't be whompin' too hard on the new lads or they won't come back.

he looked alright for bein a new lad though

Yeah he really did

@Robtheroman I dream of a day that IE can make a video like that. Western men used to be that way. We can be that way again.

@Robtheroman That's who we're meant to be. Very inspiring.

(Also not a bad Thor Steinar ad)

@Robtheroman It's funny, I was just talking to my wife about this. When I was a boy growing up in the 90s, when we boys would read about the Spartans, Celts, Romans, etc. in class, we'd be totally pumped and wanted to be like them. Then our female (and some male) teachers and classmates would say things like "Well, yeah, but, you know, the Spartan men would be gay with each other," and "Well, yeah, but, you know, real men are sensitive to the needs of women." In this way, we learned to reject the masculine behaviors of old and were taught a new idea of masculinity that revolved less around physicality and brotherhood, and more around tolerance and understanding. This has been the experience of most western men in the modern era.

Agreed was the same when I was in school. Then I'd come home and tell my dad and he would be like they is warriors they ain't no faggots.(thick country accent) thank god I had my dad growing up to keep me on track and not believing the propaganda.

Start punishing mistakes with a nice left hook Will you're too soft on all us young'ins haha

Jokes aside, great footage guys and nice to see everyone making it out to train despite the cold.

We'll have to do some sparring sessions this summer.

I've gotten rusty living up in the mountains -- first time sparring in months and my defense was noticeably worse

Thought you looked good. You definitely move around good.

@Reinhard Wolff you’re still just as aggressive, which is a good sign. The rest is just mechanics.

We also learned that scrapping in freezing weather is pretty close to any other kind of scrapping once you get moving.

@Reinhard Wolff Without being sycophantic, that’s one of the things I know about you that I knew would make you a good leader. Most intelligent guys aren’t aggressive; their imaginations take over and they tend to be conservative. When you spar with an intelligent guy who is aggressive - that’s a rare combination. I’ve watched you spar with guys who outweigh you by between 25 and 75 pounds and your instinct is still to press the attack. There’s something about fighting that lets you get to know a man in a way that sitting down to dinner won’t.

@Deleted User @Reinhard Wolff @Deleted User Nice, guys!! Once I get my Jeep fixed I'll try my best to make it some time! @Mark Vandal Ouch!! Been there before, feels bad, man.

Sorry to hear that @Mark Vandal

@Mark Vandal Aye but now you can think of your current physical state as a challenge to overcome. If there's one thing I've learned about IE guys, they love overcoming challenges.

challenges exist to be overcome

Using indoor resistance machine, which forces you to output a set wattage. If you pedal slower, the intensity automatically ramps up to maintain the same wattage output, you cannot rest, you cannot escape. Just like how 300 lbs in the gym is always 300 lbs, 300 watts is always 300 watts, no matter how fast or slow you go.

@Robtheroman where was that filmed?

17 months later, got blue.

Nice!

Well done, brother! @Deleted User

getting big!

@Deleted User Well done!

@shyguy you can take a selfie without making a bugman face

@Tanner - SC implying thats actually a picture of me

nuttin personal kid

You post a picture with no context, it’s misinterpreted, and you call me “kid”?

😎

I would love to learn the art of Swordsmanship but I'm not sure where to start. Is that actually a thing you can get lessons in now days?

I'm really glad that isn't you @shyguy

Thanks everyone!

@Warren H I would check out the hema channel on the server, and try to find an hema or sca group near you.

<#388764608762216451>

@Tanner - SC I think “kid” is just a turn of phrase that I’m hearing more and more again these days. Used to be popular around my way in the 90s, and isn’t demeaning or disrespectful.

@Warren H I enjoyed shinkendo.

http://www.shinkendo.com/

Not many locations. The one in PA closed up when the teacher moved.

Ayyy Nebraska

>no Texas

"Nothing personal kid" is an internet meme

Example:

@everyone Hey! Bodybuilding.com has a lot of their supplements and powders buy one, get one half off.

tfw i just bought creatine today

@Jbieszczat1031#9679 Buddy all the supplements and powders I need are contained in O N I O N S

after not going to class or working out for a few months, I worked really hard at my martial arts class tonight and now my knees hurt

any advice beyond ice/heat?

called into work too so i can take it easy and not risk further damage since my job is 6 hours of walking

@Gaius Mucius Scaevola NSAIDs, Tylenol, Advil, etc. If it gets to a point that it impairs your ability to walk or specifically hurts around the back, go see a doctor. Your knees and ligaments in 'em aren't something to fuck around with.

the pain wasn't excrutiating, just very uncomfortable

didn't wanna fuck around and fuck them up for life

What motions seem to flare it up/make it hurt? @Gaius Mucius Scaevola Also, what motions/type of martial art were you practicing?

@Gaius Mucius Scaevola Try stretching, too. Just don't push it too much for in case there really is something fucked up in there.

A new era in aesthetics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LsIQr_4iSY

I like how that guy is standing there. Does he expect to effectively spot in any way at all?

it was just standing around and walking. i had been doing kicks and stances, which can put a lot of pressure on the knees. @Jbieszczat1031

@Deleted User Thanks for the advice on juicing your greens every day. It's made a noticeable difference for me

My wife made this menacing beet drink this morning for me... (I forgot I drank it) thought my kidneys were bleeding when I pee’d. @BigBadSaxon - ID

@Havamal I had regular Kvass in ukraine, really enjoyed it.

I'm jealous! @Brandon Ironside- ND

Surprised you were trying different foods and drinks, you were so picky when we went to Høstfest @Brandon Ironside- ND 😂

@BryceB-ND#1845 haha I know, I thought it was going to be terrible since she described it as a "bread drink" but it was actually good.

@Brandon Ironside- ND love kvass had a bunch of it over there as well. What part of Ukraine were u in?

@Robtheroman I was primarily in odessa and strassburg, this was all pre civil war in 2012. Odessa was beautiful and modern but the the rural areas still had lots of poverty and a soviet style feel(we had to pay off police) and some people spoke russian primarily. Overall though i enjoyed it, your money goes really far in that country and I got some cool stories. What about u?

I'm jealous as well

@Brandon Ironside- TX#8890 I went lviv this was during the summer so azov graffiti was everywhere I went to a spot owned by the right sector . And for real does your money go far out there

@Havamal I hate to ask again because I look like a dope but can you give me a step by step on watching old events on UFC fight pass? I can only figure out how to watch bout by bout, which are all out of order

Better to ask this here than the NES server

It's pretty jumbled

You have to search, and then you can look it up by fighter or by event

Are you on the app or the computer

Roku

Most TV's have a HDMI input. Hook a laptop up to it. @Deleted User

The audio will suck, though unless you use the audio jack to go into a sound system.

When are we gonna have a Jack Daniels and UFC Saturday?!

You name when!

Can Rise by Pantera be the intro song for the ethnostate’s lacrosse team?
