Just out of curiosity, how much do Judo tournaments generally cost? Bjj tournaments are so expensive, I want to compete more, but I find it difficult to justify spending 50-70 dollars on basically zero return, outside a T-shirt ribbon and maybe a piece of scrap aluminium. Plus: the annoyance of weight cutting and the pain of spending most of a Saturday sitting around some cold amphitheater.

In the US: Local tournaments tend to be around $20-$30 Regional tournaments tend to be around $50 National Tournaments tend to be $80-$100 We always get BJJ guys to come to Judo tournaments by pointing out that the cost of registering for USA Judo for a year plus the entry fee is still cheaper than any BJJ tourney. And after that first tournament it's even cheaper.

well poo poo that is way more reasonable. Also I wish there more tournaments, but with fewer entries per event. It's just such a clusterfuck to have 40 brackets, some 30 guys deep and everyone running around to 6 different mats at a time. I love that the sport is getting bigger, but I would prefer to pay like 20 bucks, show up, do like 2 or 3 matches and then leave within 2-3 hours.

Health Question: started showing athletes foot about 3 weeks ago, immedietly started treating with OTC medication. (Clotrimazole* generic CVS brand). Right now my feet look/feel much better, just some peely skin. I've been busy/out of the country so I haven't even had the chance to practice Judo, but once I get back next week, should i g2g? What sign should i look for. EDIT: Brain Fart/Tired post. wedgie deliverer fucked around with this message at 01:39 on May 18, 2011 |

Roger has spent the last years fighting and beating anyone and everyone in grappling, and he's accepted every fight offered him in mma. Please note also that Renzo isn't demanding more money to fight Sperry despite a fifty pound weight advantage. There's a big difference between the Renzo side of the family and the Royce/Royler/Rickson Gracie Humaitá branch.

fatherdog i'm calling you out. but there can't be any rules or judges or time limits and nobody can watch or record the fight. and it has to take place at my house in a room that you are not allowed to see beforehand. in due course i will publish a narrative of how the fight went down and my narrative may not be questioned. i am willing to do this for one million dollars. i really hope you'll be a man about this and step up to my challenge.

Marcelo Garcia is also confirmed for 77kg, what are the odds of him NOT winning it? And what are the odds of the absolute finals not being Roger/Marcelo... The line up this year is awesome. Im so glad I can appreciate high level man hugging.

If they fight in the superfight, are they also a part of the regular bracket and thus eligible for the absolute brackets?

The two guys fighting in the superfight aren't part of the regular or absolute brackets, they just do the superfight. Or at least that's the way it's always been in the past. The winner of last event's superfight vs the winner of last event's absolute (although there's frequently cancellations, they usually try to get a previous year's absolute or superfight winner to replace.)

This is probably a bit dumb but I'll ask anyway. I'll probably be competing in Judo for the first time in a few weeks so I've been watching and reading a lot of stuff online and I thought of a tactic that I wanted to get an opinion on. When I compete, could I fake a few seio nages, and then maybe do a drop seoi, and turtle up and get stood up and then try another seio so the guy thinks thats the only move I've got and that I'm only going to move one way and then do a left handed Osoto gari? Is that a good tactic or is it just stupid? This is my first attempt at stringing any sort of strategy together so don't be too brutal on me.

Work for a combo move like osoto-gari into sasae tsurikomi ashi or kouchi gari into ouchi gari or kouchi gari into a hip throw/hari goshi/tai otoshi you get the idea. Avoid turtling as a tactic because if your opponent has even slightly good ground work you could end up in a choke before you even get to the ground, also you cant attack from turtle unless your opponent is dumb and gives you their elbow. And judo judges are unpredictable in small comps and might give your opponent time to break your turtle if he is aggressive enough. Two things I learned from my first judo match: 1 - be light on your feet or you you won't maintain your balance 2 - be prepared for some serious grip fighting - you cant just walk up and take a sleeve and lapel grip, you WILL have to fight for grips, I was naive becaue this was what we always did in randori and got manhandled like a bitch in my first match. Edit: if you do want to go for the fake right, fake right, go left tactic use soto makikomi as your left handed throw

His brother just told graciemag that Braulio's pulling out of the 2011 Worlds to "save himself for ADCC" so it looks like we'll see him in the superfight. No word on Jacare yet. Also Popovitch just confirmed on twitter that he's going to be in the 88kg division this year, which pretty much everyone was expecting with the new weigh-in rules.

Never feint, always commit fully, then follow up if necessary. Forget your gameplan and just do what feels comfortable at the time. My first tournament match I just went into an adrenaline blackout and woke up on top of my opponent with side control and the ref yelling 'ippon!,' only to be told later that I had performed a perfect koshi guruma for the first time ever. My second tournament I took 2nd by hitting every opponent (8 in a row) with tani otoshi, my tokui waza. My third tournament I fought left handed and did lots of gripwork and sweep/reap chains. You aren't going to be fighting people who will effectively analyze your strategy and counter at this point- they'll just react on instinct and the success of your throws will rely on the precision of your technique. Just focus on your breathing and you'll do fine.

Xande pulling out of Worlds. It always sucks when one of the top guys misses Worlds, but his new division is so stacked these days(Rodolfo Vieria, Faria, Lovato etc) that it's not the end of the world.

So my finances are starting to get a bit tight and I won't be able to attend the kickboxing gym i've been going to for the past year since moving to the state . I come from a six year BJJ background and I really prefer grappling to being punched, and we have a pretty nice local Judo club that seems to both be cheap and ran by our state USJF guy here in Fayetteville. Would Judo be right for me? Also, would any of my habits and learned techniques from BJJ hinder me, and is there anything I should try and be mindful of in that regard?

Hi guys. Anyone planning to go to ADCC in Nottingham, UK in September? The only info on tickets I can find is http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=131641353574376 from a company called Masaru Fight Co. but I have no idea what the prices range from and which matches are taking place when. In case I can't make both days, any idea which day the Bravo/Gracie match is taking place?

God, that last part of your post is so true for lower level grappling tournies, at least in my experience (BJJ and Judo). I remember going out with some crazy gameplan in mind and it going out the window like 15 seconds into the match. You always overthink yourself at first IMO
