Yeah, I'd pick a mouth guard over a cup if I had to prioritize before any fight. I normally don't roll with a cup, but I generally wear a mouthpiece.

Just wear a mouth guard. It's gonna cost you a fraction of what a new tooth is, and if you grapple/punchkick for more than a couple of years, you are going to take an accidental hard blow to the teeth that might gently caress your lovely smile up. Even a lovely £10 bit of plastic will mitigate that to an extent.

It's entirely possible that you could accumulate $5-10k worth of damage from a single bad knee or elbow, while a cheap mouthguard is $5-10.

I've sparred a few rounds where I've forgotten to put my mouthguard in. One of those rounds, I caught an accidental knee to the jaw (I was ducking in on my overhands and was getting read; he wanted to go to the body with the knee) and clacked my teeth together so hard that a chip came off the side of a molar:  (the yellowish diamond on the right) e: thumbnailed to make it less (more?) nsfwish. Fortunately it was completely away from the bite surface, so it only cost a couple hundred in deductible. I'm sure I would have bit through my tongue if it had been in the way. kimbo305 fucked around with this message at 08:30 on Apr 12, 2016 |

I've taken the threads advice from a while back and started keeping notes after each BJJ class. I certainly feel a lot more confident for doing it; I remember most of what I write down. I am hoping to get into the open mat stuff once I've gone through as much of the regular fundamentals course as I can (i.e. as soon as I have a class I've done before). We had Braulio Estima doing a seminar for us on Saturday (I believe he trained our head instructor), which was lots of fun. Did a lot of stuff about breaking closed guards which I wasn't able to record, but drilled often enough that it's mostly stuck with me. Very friendly guy.

While we're talking about stuff that happened in the thread over a week ago, I've started to get back on the mat and I've been playing with Fatherdog's suggestion of d'arce -> half nelson -> armbar (which I've named the wacky d'arce bar because that overhooking armbar is wake gatame in judo). That half nelson turnover is like a 9/10 success from there, but I'm yet to get the armbar on a live opponent. After I tried it on him Tuesday, my instructor gave me a few adjustments for the armbar from that angle. (I also got super close in one roll, twice, to choking out a purple belt. But he didn't tap and then he got out and then he choked me.  )e. and I also now have a journal. CommonShore fucked around with this message at 13:55 on Apr 14, 2016 |

It's extra appropriate this time because I spent last night's kids' class explaining how taking some effort to remember names can help us better see the differences in techniques (using de ashi harai and ko soto gari as an example - superficially identical throws which reveal tons of different contextual options once you think about their tiny differences)

My biggest problem with Judo right now is my instructor has an insanely thick Arabic accent and when he speaks Japanese it's pretty much completely unintelligible. Makes it difficult to follow judo discussions and stuff because I know names like 'one arm shoulder throw' instead of...well, whatever the gently caress the move is actually called. note that this is my biggest problem with judo because I don't know enough judo to actually have problems with judo Gay Horney fucked around with this message at 23:55 on Apr 14, 2016 |

Not to be confused with morote seoi nage, which is a cool beastmode throw, too, and a favourite against people who underestimate my strength. Still not as cool as ushiro goshi or ura nage (which most people here would just call suplexes of various sorts).

I haven't gotten around to working it so I'm not sure if I actually like the throw. Doesn't look bad though.

On a tangentially related point, while the leg attack ban is dumb (and there are rumors bubbling up of a possible reversion of the rule) there is something to be said about the aesthetic qualities of Judo and wanting to preserve it. I mean come on, that's loving beautiful.

It's less to make it look aesthetically pleasing than to make it a more vertically-postured sport which will look different from wrestling on olympic broadcasts. When leg grabs are legal, the sport becomes a low, wide, sprawly affair in many cases, and then it just looks like wrestling with pyjamas, or so the argument goes.

So, about mouthguards. Do any of you guys use these weird bullshit looking Sisu guards? http://www.sisuguard.com/ I want to get a very good one(recommendations?) cuz I've got big teeth and receding gums, but I was thinking of getting a Sisu for the gf cuz she is very reluctant about wearing one but I've been trying to convince her that it's worth it. The Sisu looks like it's small enough to not be annoying and give adequate protection for rolling. Amazon reviews include pictures of broken teeth, however.

I have one and think it's quite good. I've taken some serious accidental knees and come or without anything more than a bloody lip so that's good enough for me. I don't expect my mouth guard to protect me from complete facial devastation like some of the people in those reviews though, so YMMV.

She doesn't like the idea of wearing one but I was trying to say that the Sisu might be a good start because it's advertised as being the least restrictive and smallest, making it the least annoying for someone to wear. But if it turned out to be a bullshit sales hook that offered little or no protection I was just gonna skip it and press her to get a regular one.
