Ashenai posted:Your coach owns, I wish I had people like that training me Me too. My old instructor was kind of like that, actually, but not in a good way. We'd be doing technique drills, and if you made one small mistake he would stop you, explain to you what you did wrong, even if it was one of those "oops I realize what I did" mistakes. The next 10 minutes would be a lecture with no drilling or practice. Then he'd get sidetracked and we'd transition into a different technique without ever finishing what we were working on in the first place. Drove me loving crazy. He did the same thing when we rolled in class if we stalemated in a position for longer than 15 seconds. I figured the whole point of free rolling was to figure out how to do stuff when there was someone who didn't want you to do that stuff, but I guess I was wrong.

Thoguh posted:My best guard pass is to bait people into trying a triangle and shucking their leg over my shoulder and doing a collar choke while I have them stacked up. Once I got the timing down I became very, very, very successful at this. Nobody can resist a free triangle. My buddy tinkered with something like this back in our white belt days. A few years later I scoped him at a NAGA tourney doing it to perfection. His twist was feeding an arm deeply like he was going for a collar choke but was opening himself up for an armbar.

It's like they're trying to be polite, but they're thoroughly convinced that their art is the be all and end all, and none of them have ever explored outside it. They let something slip here and there which sounds really arrogant, but they don't realize. Most of them were surprised that BJJ uses a gi. I once had a Shotokan Karate brown belt tell me that it's pointless to learn Judo because in a real fight no one is going to let you get close enough to execute a throw.

Stand like a foot away from a Wavemaster, with your side facing it. Place your foot on the bag like you're doing a side kick and extend your leg fully. Don't prop yourself against the wall, either. It's goddamn hard. This small chick did it on one of the huge Wavemasters and I can barely do it on a standard one.

I like to think my dirty boxing would of come out, but at that close range I don't think I have the power or accuracy to knock someone out, in which case I hope I would of gone for a clinch All in all I'm wholly agreeing with everyone else that you handled the situation splendidly. The whole shaking and feeling sick, that's just adrenaline. When you go into fight or flight mode the adrenal response causes more blood flow to your muscles and less to your digestive organs. It's a normal thing to feel that way. All you can really do is try to keep yourself as relaxed as possible and flow with the situation. You don't have to be "cool" or "badass" in how you handle things, there's no need to knock people out or mount them and beat their face in if you don't have to, and if you're a normal person you don't really want to. I was at a bar with a female friend once and this dude with them was OBLITERATED drunk and kept trying to finger blast my friend through her jeans.(he worked his way up to it, repeatedly grabbing her inner thigh then escalating, etc etc). I handled the situation very poorly when I reached over, crushed his hand in mine and glared him in the eye and said "Keep your loving hands off of her!" He walked over to me, pushed me a bit(I was still sitting down), then he grabbed a glass ketchup bottle to smash it over my head. I froze. I had no idea what to do and I knew people were expecting me to do something. So, I grabbed the bottle and held it close to my navel, using leverage in that way to keep it in my control. He yanked a few times and spewed a couple "YOU WANNA GO?!" in my face, to which I replied "You don't wanna get physical with me dude. Bad idea." But I had started it, you see. He backed down when someone got between us and I left, shaky and feeling ashamed. The whole thing could've been avoided if I had just switched seats with her the first time he touched her thigh. e:I thought it was pretty funny too.\/ Omglosser fucked around with this message at 19:45 on Aug 30, 2011 |

themongol posted:Judo goons! please help! Are you having trouble during randori, drilling, or both? If it's randori, then you're probably not getting the kuzushi right, or at least the timing. If you telegraph too much your opponent can easily drop down or shift weight or counter. If you drill throws, like they said above make sure your hips are getting low enough. It is also very important to "know" the throw to completion. That is to say, once you start the throw, have a destination in mind for the person. We were always told to look at the floor or point a finger at the floor once you start a throw. This enables your brain to commit to what you're doing and you're more likely to have success in the throw. edit: For example, in an o-goshi, once they are on your hip, look down at the floor where you want them to land. I don't mean look at the floor as soon as you get grips. I'm not high level myself but these are things that have helped me a lot since I started; with absolutely no experience in anything, even sports.

Watch YouTube videos of judo and try to implement something you pick up from there. Or just talk with higher belts and ask for tips, I'm sure they'd just love to deluge some knowledge to you.

I am actually curious about that...I mean, even if the defending person is HIGHLY skilled, if the attacker is anywhere near their level, the defender will most likely get cut every time. Maybe not severely, but still cut. Else the attacker will. I'm not trying to poo poo on your stuff or anything I was just pointing that out. Knives are loving scary.

If I couldn't run I would just have to dedicate everything in my power to disabling that arm or getting the knife away. I like that video NovemberMike posted, if someone is really wanting to gently caress your world up and they have a knife, they probably are going to go all primal and strike like that. This site has some things to think about when it comes to knives.. http://mainemartialarts.com/self-defense/why-a-knife-is-more-dangerous-than-a-gun/ Then again, according to this guy.. http://forums.randi.org/showthread.php?t=32183 I can't find the last site I wanted to share, but they did a study with something like 50 police officers and had them try to draw their gun on an attacker with a knife at something like 20 ft away...1 of the 50 trained police officers was able to get off a shot at the attacker before, the rest got slashed up. Figuratively, of course, it was a mock attack. But those are sad odds, especially considering they were facing the attacker and knew what was coming and what they had to do. Although I have a feeling most of you are familiar with this... e: If you want to have your day ruined, you can watch a guy killing and maiming a bunch of police officers with a knife in Nicaragua here:  http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/video.php?v=wshh44oh9wTL1t11XJKD I really don't recommend watching it.

The next day the towel was soaked in blood, plus I ruined my pants and shirt with the dripping blood during the walk, and I have a scar about an inch and a half wide on my arm now. In retrospect I should have gotten stitches but by the time I realized how bad it was, the time window was closed. It took like a loving month to close and another month before it was totally healed. I agree with you that after 1 cut you're not going to be useless, but I think his point is more that if someone is actively fileting you, no cuts (by running) is better than one cut IF you manage to win the fight. Plus, I could be way wrong on this but I don't feel like looking it up but I believe under certain conditions if you get cut really bad your body can swell around that area, temporarily negating the blood loss. origami posted:I put too much balm on and had to hop in the shower to get it off

The judo scarf hold is better than the BJJ scarf hold if you want to pin somebody in place, and it's harder to escape from, but the BJJ scarf hold is better if you want to submit somebody. Rolling BJJ breakfalls keep you more mobile but a Judo breakfall takes a lot more impact out of a throw, that kinda thing. I'm awful at Judo so I could have details wrong, but you get the idea. I wasn't aware that there were two different ways to breakfall..I was always taught by every instructor the same way.

This is the only video I found remotely similar to what I'm talking about. You suck it up and take the fall? I really don't know what else to say. I let my girlfriend ippon me onto the hard ground and my arm didn't really help THAT much, anyway. A class I quit going to used to make us gently throw one another and do breakfalls onto a 4" mat. It was really annoying. "Remember to breakfall!" I was just like "for what? He's setting me down like a baby." I even jumped up and did a straight backfall onto the normal floor to proof my point but having the wind knocked out of me didn't help my cause much.

I understand all that about muscle memory and the importance of practicing diligently but by that point I had already fallen thousands of times and I could feel whilst being thrown whether or not I needed to breakfall based on the speed and intensity of the throw. In other words, in randori I was breakfalling without thinking about it, but in practice a lot of times I felt I didn't need to. It was also frustrating because I felt like I was being babied for no reason. I would get extremely painful submissions put on me repeatedly for demonstration and never complain, but if I were to be thrown in any way besides being set down like a baby it was all "omigosh are you okay?!" I was probably just arrogant, though, being experienced in judo in a non-judo class.

Xguard86 posted:I think a lot of this diet stuff is personal. I have eaten almost everything before bjj and can count on 1 hand the number of times my stomach has hurt, and I've never thrown up training. Also if I'm not mistaken, nausea and/or vomiting can be caused by electrolyte/water loss, not necessarily what you ate or when you ate beforehand. I've gotten nauseated several times when I was doing MMA, doing an intense 90 minute workout of hundreds of pushups, running, situps, footwork drills, and all kinds of crap, then seamlessly transitioning to 100 round kicks on the pads. Never thrown up, I usually just drank an 8-10 oz amalgamation of gatorade and water and sat down for 5 minutes and I was able to get back into it just fine. Also, when I could, I would eat a hearty whole wheat PB&J (natural PB and low sugar J) and 16 oz of water 1 hour before training and I would usually be fine, keeping a gator juice on hand during the workout. Obviously though eating a steak and potato 20 min before an intense workout and it's probably going to come back up.

I discovered it from youtube videos and it looks like really fun, even if the real world applications are less then say, BJJ since I'm not always going to be carrying a giant stick or knife around. I did some of that jazz for a little over a year. It's a lot of fun! It really improves your motor skills and coordination, having to use both hands for drilling and such. It is very hard for most beginners to get comfortable using sticks, even those experienced in martial arts. Also, from what my instructor told me, we only use sticks because it gives the aura of "safety" to westerners. It's actually meant to be a blade art, be it a machete or pocketknife; for a number of obvious reasons it was frowned upon teaching people aggressive knife fighting. So it became stick self-defense or some crap. Plus it prevents dying during training and that kind of thing. Have you found any schools in your area?

In my personal opinion, a lot of the stuff taught in FMA wouldn't be very effective in real-world applications, especially knife-disarms, but it is fun to learn and do overall. Although the one thing that sucked, which seems like might be true here as well, is frequent long-winded technical explanations of techniques which means a lot of student standing around time. That part is NOT fun. Sometimes I wonder if the Filipino people who brought it over just wanted to mess with the white people. I'd advise just contacting either school and just trying both out and see how they feel to you.

Bangkero posted:The slipping and footwork I learned in FMA has helped me a lot when I spar in boxing. Also, as mentioned, the skill required to move both hands independently from one another really improves your hand-eye coordination. Whether or not I'm ever going to beat the poo poo out of someone with a stick or stab someone with a knife is questionable but the sparring is super fun (which really helps with my agility). I've been out of FMA for a while now and I forgot all about how effective the 2-step footwork is. Plus moving empty handed becomes a lot easier after using the stick. And the empty hand drills we did really made my close-range hand to hand reaction time crazy fast.
