Peaty fighting sports...

@gugenmungus “Boxing and jiu-jitsu have always seemed to me more important than any inferior, because incomplete, training in marksmanship. Give the German nation six million bodies with flawless athletic training, all glowing with fanatical love of their country and inculcated with the highest offensive spirit, and a national state will, in less than two years if necessary, have created an army, at least in so far as a certain basic core is present.”

@bolditinerary Sambo?
-
@gugenmungus Do you eat well after the training?
-
@SelectiveBreeder unfortunately not.... I usually just eat whole melon as stated above and drink milk or juice. I am going to make gelatin gummy bears again for after training. Maybe I also eat one whole ice cream, but it's expensive
-
@bolditinerary take p5p (50mg) following boxing practice, this will lower prolactin which is raised following strenuous exercise which will in turn decrease stress hormones
-
@SelectiveBreeder I started boxing couple months ago and my coach says I should focus on drills first... On the days I spar, things are not as bad, so you may be right.
-
@donovan I was taking some effervescent energy tablets that had high quantities of B6 a month ago and it did away with most of my fatigue. I'll try out p5p and see what happens, thanks.
-
@Fructose first time I'm hearing about it, why would you say it's peaty?
-
@gugenmungus what sport exactly if I may ask?
-
@bolditinerary interesting. Do you remember what tablet by chance ?
-
@donovan Megavit Bolero Boost

King of the hill seems pretty peaty. More of a game than a sport, but maybe that's to its credit as a peated activity. I remember playing it a lot as a kid. It basically gamifies hill sprints (concentric) with periodic bouts of wrestling.
Also I remember peat saying something about the stress of exercises being mitigated by getting to accomplish some goal/purpose during the activity. LIike chopping wood. In king of the hill, it's hard to stay king and easy to become king, so I think you get a lot of opportunity for gratification of a goal -
Johannesburg knife fights

@roided_bulgar interesting.

@bolditinerary Muay Thai
-
Sumo wrestling seems to be the peatiest. Short rounds with maximum explosiveness. Little stress due to endurance fatigue. You can easily get all your nutrients in huge quantities. Probably requires trips to or longer stays in Japan, which is also a good side effect.
You can become a completely saturated mass beast.
-
@SelectiveBreeder I don't think they are because they raise your cortisol while fighting. Doesn't stop me from doing it though because they're SUPER fun and tbh I'd rather die than not be a martial artist. Martial arts are my oldest friend; how could I abandon them?
-
You can raise your cortisol temporarily and not instantly die. So this topic is just "what sport do I enjoy" which is actually kind of a "peaty" concept. Do stuff you enjoy.

Getting hit in the head is always bad and should be avoided at all costs. Especially with head gear, where people think they are safe. Your skull doesn't matter, your brain is floating in a fluid inside your skull and every time it dings against your skull is damaging. Headgear makes people believe they are protecting their head, but they are actually loosening their natural safety response. I would recommend pad/bag work for striking and Jiu Jitsu a couple hours a week for any average joe on here.

Maybe kendo? I haven't done it myself but it doesn't seem very stressful compared to other fighting sports where you get punched in the head, knocked over, etc.
