ok. my thoughts on the above is that it's a bad idea. don't let some (possibly unintentional) rear end in a top hat take time from your training. if there's an actual physical reason you can't go in, fine, but you can go in and spar light with someone else or shadowbox or at least watch a class after a nosebleed. you're letting yourself get intimidated and working on that is one of the reasons a lot of people start this sort of stuff to begin with. go punch

This, get back out there.

My boxing coach once said to the class, 'if someones hitting you too hard, hit them back hard. go to the same level as your partner'. Ugh what horrible advice.

Back at the gym tomorrow morning after ski bumming for a bunch of months and loving up my shoulder while skiing. I always feel shame about being gone for a while before warmups, but know in my heart that, as a white belt, most people probably don't remember me ever being there before :shobon:

To be fair this is good advice when your only reaction to getting punched is to turtle up.

Terrible advice if someone is sparring too hard tho

So that you dishonor him before the judges



Exactly like I thought, the big dude started going too hard during drills and one of the new students drilling with him decided to reciprocate. Now big dude has two long bruises and scratches across his forearms, and he was bleeding beneath his gloves. Hopefully he learned a lesson.

It's HEMA, so we have hard shell fencing gloves. Newer guy got just beneath the cuff and managed to break skin with a blunt sword.

Pfft I don't need a mouth guard mouth guard for standup light randori. Pfft. I totally meant to put that tooth through my lip when I did a drop seoi. Just what I always wanted, a hole there.

I'll take a pic once the doc takes off the bandage and cleans me up. And then after the stitches

No before pic. My phone died before the doc had a chance to see me, and I just wanted to get the gently caress out. Also given that this is on my face, and in soft tissue, I didn't want to remove the bandage on my own and risk tearing it further and make the scarring worse. (e. to clarify, the tooth went clear through the lip.)

PSA: I was the one initiating the technique, and I did it with good control. For those of you who are about to say "if you did it with good control you wouldn't have gotten hit in the face," the x factor was that I was throwing a white belt and he got super tense mid-throw. I think he pulled into me and ended up about 6 inches away from where I'd expect him to be, so we had a mouth-on-head collision. It was in light randori that this happened.

The point is to always wear your mouthguard, kids.

There's a bit of a story here, but it's a good question. First, he's been really interested in that throw, so it wasn't new to him, and he has been thrown with it before. In fact, about 4 minutes earlier I had let him throw me with it a few times. We were then doing really light randori and he was stiff arming me. I kept telling him to relax his arms because people could use this against him. I started by foot sweeping him a few times in different ways by pushing into his stiff arms to make him step. I then told him that the drop seoi was another counter to the stiff arms and he should be careful, because if his arms are stiff I could go right under them and throw him. And then I threw him. I didn't snap it hard or anything. It was at about half-speed.

So no, it's not as if we were doing shiai and I was spiking him like a football because I could. It was his throw of the day and it was closely related to what we were trying to accomplish in that round of practice.

This 6 week break from judo is doing me wonders. Doing StrongLifts 5x5 is making me starting to think about my body movement and getting more attuned to how my body works when it comes to to doing standup technique. Also having my roommate not talk about judo 24/7 is a god sent too since she has no other hobbies or friends and buys everything judo.

I don't know if this is like widespread knowledge or not but there's some crazy guy going to gyms and beating up on people who are just sparring or training lightly. He is literally mentally disturbed and if anyone LA goons see this guy in their gym, do not train with him. He's completely nuts. He's the guy that started swinging against Floyd Mayweather Sr before he was ready. He literally thinks he is a world champion boxer and calls out fighters much better than him and goes and gets his rear end whupped and then goes on FB and youtube and tells a story about how he just won. Its insane. He's insane.

I'm pretty sure that dude says "I hit you in the body though" at about 3:50 in that video. Like he's going to tell his grandkids about that one day. "Once I hit Deontay Wilder in the body!" I kind of want someone to beat him at his own game, say "yeah lets box" then take him down and choke his bitch rear end out. That's the 13 year old in me speaking though.

Roommate is the crazy girl. Since my girlfriend moved in a few months ago, crazy girl tries to talk judo with both of us at all times. The girlfriend joined me on my 6 week break with her BJJ because of a falling out with the new instructor at her gym and is riding out the remainder of her contract before going to another gym that is better in all regards.

Not having crazy girl chime in about with some judo meme or a quote from her "personal journey" journal is a great feeling when you are doing anything else that is not martial arts.
