Pathetic state of combat sports in India
Based on personal experience.
Starting any combat sports in India and then expecting fairness from any angle is just a dream. Even to get a training/facility anywhere apart of top 3-4 cities like Delhi, Bangalore etc. isn't easy, but if you get them, you'll face problems with corrupt associations, rigged judging/scoring etc.
We've seen what's been happening with wrestling, and I faced same with a martial art called Sambo. I though of trying out Sambo thinking it would be fun, but only to found out that the association is just there doing nothing , website isn't updated since 7 years, and isn't functional in any tier 2 city.
After a lot of tussle, I found a guy's phone from the federation, called him and he told me if you have to deposit 2 lacs of money and then you can run the federation in your city. What will they provide in lieu of that ? Nothing, just to use the name of a nobody organization.
Developing countries were supposed to have tougher guys, that's why Brazil, Mexico etc. had many great combat sports athletes, but it won't happen with India until we fix the politics and inaccessibility of these sports for commoners.

Badminton shoes recommendations
Hi guys. I play badminton every other weekend. I used to play Futsal, so used to make do with the non marking shoes from there. Now I'm looking to invest in decent badminton shoes. But since I play just every other weekend I don't want to spend too much. Would love some budget friendly recommendations

GBR vs Japan match just finished and GBR win by 3-1 (had they won by less then 2 GD we would have reached finals).
So now if Australia loose to Malaysia (By any chance) then India will not just reach finals but will also have high chances of winning the tournament.
Otherwise India will play 3rd and 4th rank decider match.
