Any boxers/MMA or any other form of Martial Art TRP'ers here?

I've been doing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu as well as competing in tournaments. I found TRP shortly after and it was the perfect compliment to the mindset I was beginning to harvest by doing it. Not so coincidently, I was getting hit on by women. My ears are fucked up from the grappling, but I'm in great shape and they love that I "fight".

Edit: so yes, I believe it increased my SMV. First, it's a hobby- something I am continuously trying to get better at. I also have a dedicated time set aside for training, which, any girl that I talk to soon realizes they can't interfere with. Annnnnd you get in great shape.

Boxed since I was 15. I think a young man learning a martial art is important to developing masculinity. It should be mandatory. Why back in ancient times were there lots of masculine men? Because they all learned to kill incase the barbarians showed up at your homestead.

Been a boxer for a few years, did some Muay Thai, some Judo. Here's the thing, it won't raise your SMV until you prove you can do it well, in front of women. After all a fight demonstrates technical or physical superiority, those take hard work. Still, just by practicing and getting a few times in the ring your confidence goes through the roof because you know that in the case of a small one-on-one you can defend yourself. Don't be a dumbass and go out trying to pick fights, though; you never know who you might find.

I´m a trained boxer..4-5 times a week 2hrs training sessions..very rigorous..for the better part of my life. I´m 35 now BTW. I can assure you that it gives you both mental and physical feeling of superiority wherever you might be. And people feel that. Always. You don´t have to fight anyone for them to be aware of your dominance. Boxing gives you strength, speed, lightning fast reflexes, endurance and stance...an overall power. It is the toughest sport there is. Being in the ring, one on one, you become aware of your limits...you learn to attack, to defend and to evade. If you have an opportunity, go for it. But take it seriously. It takes up to 4 years to master the sport, no matter how fit or talented you are. It takes time. Be patient. Also, start running. It will make your training easier. You can also combine lifting. But remember, a muscle without purpose is just an aesthetic accessory. Boxing gives you purpose.

BJJ guy checking in.

Big increase in SMV.

More confidence and the knowledge that I can better handle myself if the situation arises is very nice

I used to box and if anything it got me in great shape... not much of a change in any other mental aspects I was already pretty big/strong...

I am a double black belt ex-kickboxer. Does it increase SMV, depends what culture, some chicks get totally wet over it, (Western) in Eastern countries it played against you cause all the women were very jealous that you attract women or at least thought that. Also in the east they thought you were far to dangerous to get involved in, to reckless.

New subscriber here thanks to the frontpage post. I've trained Karate for 2.5 years, and BJJ for 3.5 years. Karate was fine, but BJJ was my red pill. Most guys can't handle it, as the good clubs have a very strict douchebag filter (if you're a douchebag, you're going to change your attitude or quit (mostly quit)). If you can keep going and not be a douchebag it is probably the best thing you can do for self improvement.

cascadecombo · 2014-07-01T09:13:58+00:00

I've done a few, most notable for me would be Wrestling and Judo. For one, having full contact experience gives you a confidence boost when you are out. Basically knowing you can handle yourself is never a bad thing to be self assured about.

Not to mention if you do have matches and such and you bring a girl to watch you, when you win they are generally super excited to jump on the guy who just beat someone else.

More so for yourself tho, just having the confidence and having something to work towards, be it technique or strength or whatever your purpose is is huge for a guy. Having something to work towards and be passionate about is something not just women, but everyone loves.

Karate as a teen/early 20's. Some Tae Kwon Do, some sword (Asian and European). Ninpo taijutsu.

Practicing these arts changed me, in ways I wanted, ways I sought out, and in some ways that surprised me - but always serving to make me a better person, more capable, more confident, more able to stand for myself and others I choose to help. Not just physically, either.

Funny how it all began... I liked Dungeons and Dragons. It just didn't seem right to me that my characters were these badasses who could wipe out a tavern brawl when I was, at best, a rogue (stealth skills ftw) with no fighting ability. So I decided to become the real life version of a multi-class fighter/rogue/mage. That last part is still a bit of a challenge, though :P

It does, I got several girlfriends on account of just that, but they weren't the type I wanted (or at least not the type I want now after having dated them). I've been much happier with the ones who found out after we started dating than the ones who knew before.

I started boxing a year ago, I noticed a huge change in myself. Apart from the physical improvements I also gained a lot of confidence. I don't see any downside to it at all, I am better in every way and I often say it is the best single thing I have done to improve myself. It isn't a typical gym that also does boxing it is a boxing gym if that makes any difference, primarily men and other white collar or active boxers.

Overzealous_BlackGuy · 2014-07-01T04:19:20+00:00

I do capoeira. Not a typical martial art. In fact, it's really more of a game, like sumo in that you enter the ring and don't focus on just wiping the floor with the other guy.

It gave me a hell of a lot of body control. Improved my posture. Made me a lot better at reading peoples bodies. Gave me a boost of confidence and discipline.

All those combined kinda made me a better dancer as well since I like going salsa dancing. And since it's a "game," I learned to treat life a bit more like a game. I could get knocked down, kicked in the chest, slip and fall, but I'll get up laughing and seeing what I could have done differently and heading straight back into play. It's a bit of joyful stoic mentality. The music in capoeira has messages of "win some, lose some," "respect towards the great men who developed all this," being clever/wily (malandragem or malicia In Portuguese), and how even the strongest trees get knocked down but at least a man can get back up.

And frankly the physical workout kept me sane in times when life was tough. If your head is tired, tiring out the body seems to reset the system.

All those things? Yeah, it raised it for me. I even had a few girls come try it out, and they enjoyed it. It didn't necessarily raise it in the same way lifting would, because I'm not sure how much physically I developed, but more being able to practically use what I had. I'm starting to lift more so I can develop further in capoeira. I'm gonna look into boxing or BJj or judo soon.

Frankly, I'd say work out and lift but if you take one day a week or two to train a martial art even in place of working out (you'll still be working out during the sessions probably) you'll probably feel more like a man than just lifting would. Like, sure, there are some guys out there who can physically lift more, but Muhammad Ali won most of his fights by dancing around the other guy for a while. Spartans won from training and their reliance on each other, not necessarily because any one soldier could beat another. Even gladiators were paired in ways that tactics and weaponry was more of a factor than who had the most muscle--in fact, many were fat. Just lifting might make you look and feel better but it's nice learning how to use what you get.
