Two judo questions:

1. I'm looking for a good book, something ideally covering the core throws and groundwork, as well as history and etiquette and stuff, basically the whole syllabus.

Kodokan Judo by Jigoro Kano himself

Yeah I actually appreciate metamoris' style. The stage lighting the drummers. It reminds me of old Kung fu movies. I wish the ufc would be a little more like that and less 90's xtreme with their branding.

Totally. Also cot drat kip with eyebrows lmao.

I remember in hs wrestling, only the best wrestlers wore those ugly green and pink shoes. It has more to do with not being outlandish unless your good, than whatever gender stuff you guys got going on.

I heard Gene Lebell was just an actor/stuntman who roughed up a couple actors in a backyard and on set to get his rep and ran with it. Akin to Bruce Lee. I heard this from Chael Sonnen on his podcast.

Did Gene ever compete?

Underdog bjj in west Hartford would be a good choice. There's also a huge place in Rocky Hill called The Cage, with a legit black belt and a really awesome facility. Plenty of good bjj in CT I think.

Got a blue belt about 6 years ago and then stopped training like a year later. Fast forward last fall, the guy in the truck next to mine in the mornings is a black belt, so now I get to train Sunday mornings two or three times a month with him and whatever other guys show up. Was happy to find out I could still hang.

Does anyone have any experience with Fight Sports in Miami or the Rilion Gracie gym in coral gables? I live near one and work near the other

E: or their reputations. I'm interested in joining one. I have no grappling experience apart from a handful of drop in classes at American Top Team with a friend. I can arm bar from side control and bendy arm from side control. (Americana maybe? Kimura?). Two years of on and off boxing

I got my blue belt from Cyborg and can tell you that he is an amazing teacher and an even better friend to all his students.

I moved away years ago, but the new gym he just built looks awesome, and I trained with both the guys managing the gym now and they are also great people. I think talent wise it would be hard to find a better room.

Can't recommend Fight Sports enough! Do it!

I always thought it was a fun rite of passage, walk the gauntlet then get dogpiled and the whole academy cheers you and picks you up on their shoulders. Great thrill, lots of laughs, and worth a couple welts.

Any of you old fogies on the juice for hobby training? I feel like just a little test or whatever would be dandy for making the fifth and sixth class each week

Haha, my friends and i wanted to, but after getting a blood test, im still producing like a young man at 38. 900ng/L total 150.3 pg/ml free. The secret is poor sleep and bad diet.

Really highlights my wasted potential though….
