Thoguh posted:Illegal in Judo because it's easy to break fingers doing that. But really if you're getting your fingers torn up just tape them up and let them heal. It is a temporary problem. Just like matburn on your feet your body adjusts pretty quick. I've always wondered about this, because you're allowed to pistol grip in BJJ competitions. I was told that pistol gripping is not allowed in judo because of the immense control that you get by doing so. You shouldn't reach inside the Gi sleeve to get a grip - that's where the busted fingers comes from, I thought.

They were pretty good at understanding their art and why they did it (see: not deadly samurais) and Kyokushin is pretty well respected around here in any case.

It was...something, anyway. No sparring, two step kata kind of stuff. Lots of rules and respect. It and the mindset it has is vastly different from BJJ. It's not nearly as cool as gay pajama hugging, let me tell you. EDIT: It taught me how to breakfall amazingly well, I'll give it that. That's super useful in and of itself, so it has that going for it.

Office Sheep posted:So after 4 months of judo and 3 BJJ classes I'm considering entering BJJ Tournament. The instructor at BJJ says I should be fine at the beginner skill level. In anyone's experience is this a good or bad idea? Be aggressive, and end up on top. You might want to fight off your back (as that's no doubt where you're most comfortable), but if you're on top, your winning the match. Don't pull guard, except as a last resort. You want to get that initial takedown, and then from there work your top game to either a points win or a submission. Keep it simple, if you're going no-gi, double underhooks and fold them over their heels for the takedown. If in gi, use some of that sweet judo stuff, just remember to not give your back to get the takedown. You may get your 2 pts for the throw, but if you get choked out  Lastly, it's a beginner's tournament, just go in there, roll a bit, learn what you like to do, what you need to improve on, and go from there. I'm sure you'll have a blast.

Thoguh posted:Question for the Judoka... the club I work out with had to take the summer off, and this has coincided with us losing pretty much everybody due to either retirement or guys graduating and leaving town. So myself and the head instructor are trying to brainstorm the best way to get the club going again this fall. We're putting together flyers to place in the dorms and wondering what best to put on them. Our target audience is basically former high school wrestlers and also people that are just looking to try something new now that they are in college. When I was in the University (Japanese) Jiu-Jitsu Club, Simple flyers that outlined physical fitness, self-defense, and confidence as things that someone would gain from taking Jiu-Jitsu (or judo in this case). Also make sure that you mention that it's open to all shapes, sizes, and sexes. Hopefully you guys have a "clubs night" or something similar where prospective frosh can see all the clubs that are available to them. Ask if you can put on a demo, that usually gets interest too. As for numbers, it sounds like beggars can't be choosers at this point for you guys, just remember that martial arts are a really good test of character, and the bad people get weeded out pretty quickly. Failing that, brutal warmups do the trick

Thoguh posted:Your club lets white belts do ankle locks? I've only worked out with a few BJJ clubs, but none of them allowed anyone less than blue to do ankle or knee locks as a general rule. Whitebelts are allowed to use ankle locks AND kneebars. We just go over what is and is not acceptable behavior at the club. As for whitebelts, I take it super easy on them at first, just to see where they are at, and then slowly ramp up on them. They want to feel comfortable at first, so the chances of them spazzing out is less. EDIT: I think that whitebelts realize that going for ankle locks and knee bars are generally a bad idea when you're rolling people better then you. Especially since there's not a lot of technique time spent on those things. Legit Businessman fucked around with this message at 17:28 on Sep 2, 2011 |

I'm not a boxer/kickboxer by any stretch, so if this doesn't make any sense, please disregard. You threw some 1-2's early in the first round that were pretty good, except for the fact that you dropped your left as you were throwing the straight (like around the 3:30 mark). You had sweet push kicks. And lastly, I have no idea how practical/possible this is, but he seemed to be able to initiate a clinch anytime he wanted to. Granted, you dumped him on his rear end most of the time that he did, but it might be something to watch out for against someone who has a good clinch. Congrats on the win man, that was a great fight.

Ridleys Revenge posted:So moving from Judo and nogi submission grappling into BJJ has been a really interesting experience for me, but I'm getting pretty annoyed by the unwarranted elitism of BJJ players. They don't know how to attack Turtle because they tunnelvision so hard on attacking the neck that they get swept every time, so now they tell me to "leave that Judo stuff at home this is BJJ" whenever I turtle up instead of even trying. They lock in leg triangles but can't finish them and refuse to let go or switch to other subs, so I pick them up, and they tell me that's not legit because we're not allowed to slam anyone. IMO if you're 40lbs heavier than me and I can pick you up and hold you in the air while you try to muscle out a triangle finish you should be loving impressed, you crybaby. Just had to vent! Slamming people is a dick move in BJJ. You know as well as I do, you can't do that in Judo either, as soon as you lift someone off the mat, they stop it. I don't know if turtling is the best course of action in the long run though, unless you want to get Edwardo Telles level good at that position.

gunblade posted:On that note, how do you boxing guys throw hooks? Because I'm wondering if I've learned them the wrong way. From what I've been told, if you throw hooks vertical, it decreases the chances that you'll break your hand if you land the punch wrong, contrasted to the potential to land a hook with your small knuckles on a hook that is horizontal (and that leads to a broken hand). That's about all I know on the subject.

I was not expecting 'jumping rope' and 'holding pads perfectly still' to be the most difficult parts of this class...

Ridleys Revenge posted:He was an experienced wrestler and had a big upper body, so it seemed like a reasonable time to work my x guard and De La Riva stuff instead of trying to fight for arm bars that he was definitely strong enough to defend indefinitely. That meant GENTLY going through the "DLR>achilles lock>heel hook>knee bar>half boston crab" series from time to time as a means of getting him on his stomach so I could take his back. While those can dangerous subs, I don't really see a problem with getting into the heel hook (or whatever) position if I'm not actually applying pressure (cranking) and looking to submit, just using them as transitory control positions while I flow into something else. But I haven't been an instructor very long, so I'm open to other people's opinions on the matter. What do you think about it? If you're going to get into positions that would encourage good, mechanically correct heel hook positions, I would suggest it's far too risky to put them there. If your partner is total spaz (or newbie, and doesn't know how to react) and freak out, they could blow their knee out. Save the heel hooks for the advanced dudes, why bother even doing them on white belts with that much on the line? At the end of the day, you either take your lumps, and then not roll with him until he calms down, or you can potentially blow a dudes knee out. Can you tell I'm paranoid about heel hooks?

Kumo Jr. posted:I had a discussion recently about which is better for attacking the back: Like X-guard said, the seat-belt is far more important than the hooks. Try it out in practice - have your partner in back control with just the seatbelt grip and no hooks, and then with just hooks and no seat belt. You'll figure out very quickly, that when you can glue your chest to his back, by way of the seatbelt, that his mobility is greatly decreased. All the hooks prevent the opponent from doing is turning into you, and that is somewhat accomplished by the seatbelt grip in the first place.

Bohemian Nights posted:I got a general question, and it might be dumb and I dunno if it applies more to grappling than other MA's, but do you guys THINK a lot when you fight/roll? Do you actively decide on a plan and follow it through, say, on the mat consciously decide to perform a specific sweep and follow up with a specific chain of submissions? I only think about things when there's a break in the action. Like if I'm trapped in a guillotine, I'm thinking about what to do to escape, etc. But if I'm on top, hunting for submissions, I might have a vague tactical goal (like get to north south, or mount), but I'm really "listening" for what the opponent is giving to me to take as a submission. In guard I have a few go-to setups, like the hip-bump to triangle, so there might be a touch more thinking about when I can set that up to take advantage of that particular combo.
