I haven't stumbled on any videos I've just seen it happen to a lot of people irl (myself included) even the ones who aren't gang affiliated behave in the same fashion. They feel like it's their duty to jump in whereas I've seen many white men stand down as their buddies get stomped. It's a weird cultural thing that I attribute to them feeling more like family where we're afraid to see ourselves that way

Much less behave as such

Ah, gangs proper are a different matter, I agree.

That being said for the most part our women are ladies and genuinely don't know what to do in a fight

Because they're proper ladies lol

Nor do many of our men.

90% of men can't even hit a bag with respectable force.

Except the trailer park girls- that's a totally different story

@Tyler0317 This is something I believe very deeply in for some reason, and I know you do too. I believe if we're going to be Identitarians, we have to be as versed in self-defense as we are in "Culture of Critique" and all that stuff. Fitness is not merely asthetic.

Videos like that - white people sitting there getting pounded on the head - have a much broader effect too. It's a signal of white weakness, just like everything else the white west does. It says hey come maul us, we won't do anything.

Sorry for ranting fellas.

Agreed. Being "capable" is more than intellectualism.@Deleted User

@Tyler0317 That quote is why I love IE. It's been a great blend of intellectualism and manliness, and I really appreciate the focus on physical fitness and readiness without being larpy about it. I don’t want to sound like a wanna-be “tough-guy.” I’m not confrontational by nature. When I’ve been out on activism with the lads at the cvilles, DC, etc., I didn’t say anything to any one of the crazy counter-protestors. I didn’t yell things and get in people’s faces. Frankly, I was on edge and I think appropriately nervous, and I just wanted to get everyone out of there with as few bruises and arrest warrants as possible. But I knew I had a job to do (watch my brothers’ backs), and I try and keep my mind focused on what’s going on and what I’m gonna do if X happens. I do credit the Marines with that, as well as boxing and BJJ training – focusing and working through the problems caused by adrenaline in my mind if that makes any sense.

@Deleted User Yeah, I counter-signal the anti military posting hardcore.

I credit the USMC for TONS of my personal development. Military service (particularly combat mos)provides fantastic intangibles in everyday life.

So outside of personal growth, discipline, etc. it doesn't bother you that the globalist elites exploit our men's willingness to fight for their own gain? Not trying to start a shit show I just honestly want to know

Where else are you going to do warrior stuff?

@Thomas Morrow

That outweighs the damage done serving other interests?

Don't get me wrong- as a man I completely understand where you're coming from

Only you can decide that.

I would have enlisted regardless of the circumstances.

Perhaps think this way, some Tyrone who joined the Army and worked in the cafeteria for 4 years has more weapons training, experience with mission planning, and practical warfare experience than you.
(I'm not directly insulting you)

You military guys can't teach the rest of us?

Hypothetically speaking

Bootcamp is 3 months long. Infantry school is 3 months long. Other specific training can be from months to even 1.5 yrs long.

And of course no offense is intended sir

That's a given lol

I'm not troubled at all, we shared a ride coming back from Cville. 😉

Haha indeed

In theory though, couldn't you impart wisdom unto your brothers where the rubber hits the road? (Given everyone showed the dedication required)

Maybe put this way...

If you wanted to learn to fight, would you:

-Join a MMA gym with multiple UFC fighters and world class coaches
or
-Ask one of the members of the gym to give you private lessons in your backyard every now an then?

Certainly you could be trained, and with dedication you could be formidable. But it would never be the same, ya know?

Fair enough. Understanding it would take more than occasional training if one was dedicated enough to teach for long periods of time could you reach the same end result? (Aside from combat experience) don't get me wrong were these different times I'd be the first to enlist. ( in fact it bothers me very deeply to see us moving more in this direction, I planned to enlist for most of my life)

In the end I felt I could do more to solve the problems we're facing on the home front

Not to say I don't have nothing but the greatest respect for those who have. Some of my best friends have served overseas and it was their stories of what they were forced to do that attributed the most to my decision not to enlist

The .mil has 100's of millions in training budgets, weaponry, bases etc.

See my above analogy.

No way you could be equally proficient to someone who was trained by verified experts, with massive logistical support, and done so on a full time basis.

Understandable. One day perhaps it won't be an issue

Then again that's why we do what we do

👍🏼

@here

I'm starting to up my cardio here on the backside of winter.(gotta have the abs by spring) ;)

For non running cardio, I have been doing light kettlebell swings, and lighly weighted jump squats.

Any advice for winter fat burning?
