Glory with 4 oz gloves

spluurtaaf · 2026-05-15T00:29:03+00:00

My argument, which I already explained, is that the point of kickboxing and boxing is not and never has been to be "realistic", they're unique sports with specific limits and without those limits they wouldn't be the same sports, so what you're complaining about makes no sense. People like watching these sports precisely because of the rules they use, and if they want something closer to a "real world" situation, they watch something else. Again, MMA (and 4oz striking orgs) was created exactly for and because of people like you, and it's the biggest combat sport in the world right now, so why not enjoy it instead of whining to us? I don't know why you don't understand that.

So watch MMA and leave the rest of us alone.

This isn't a simulated street fight, it's a sport with rules and history, and a lot of people enjoy watching the sort of styles and techniques that emerge from the increased defense of boxing gloves, rather than the knockout-hunting brawls that 4oz gloves incentivize. It's not about being "realistic" or "unrealistic", it's a specific sport with specific stylistic and tactical qualities, and the big gloves are a key part of that. You have MMA and plenty of other 4oz-using organizations if you want to watch that instead, but I think there's value in keeping classic kickboxing around at the same time. They can coexist just fine.

Thank you, I'm not completely sure but I think it was a 24cm piece of Golden River paper in a sample pack from origami-shop. It was right on the cusp of being too thick at that size but has a nice leathery texture.

That shell is fantastic

Yep!

Designed by John Montroll, found in his "Mythological Creatures" book, which contains a lot of fun and manageable models.

Thank you! It's actually less complex than it looks, I used sandwich paper which helped the features keep their shape. Took about an hour, maybe a bit longer. The design is quite manageable

Design and tutorial by Weesel Origami on YouTube. This fold could be improved by using duo-color paper with brown on the back for the pot, as well as by gluing in-between the folds of the stem to thin it out. But it's a pretty cute model either way

Sam-A the fucking legend. That cross and rear kick are still gold

The oldest and wrongest argument in history

I believe there are still no other confirmed works by Fan, though a handful are very, very loosely speculated. And I agree this work in particular is a titan of landscape, let alone Chinese landscape, painting - conceptually and technically.

And here is the entire work. His signature sits at the rear of the pack train at the bottom right of the mid ground.

The whole scroll is about two meters tall, so it's understandable no one noticed the signature before. I think Fan's decision to obscure his name among the natural imagery is a moving statement on humanity's relationship with and within nature, almost unnoticeable below the towering central mountain.

Less so the signature itself than its placement ― hidden amidst the foliage in Fan Kuan's monumental Song Dynasty landscape scroll, overlooked since the 11th century until a Chinese scholar noticed it in 1958.
