To be honest I'd rather get thrown on my back then punched in the face.

ManOfTheYear posted:Do you guys have people in your clubs that are extremely injury prone? We have this brown belt girl in our judo club who is getting destroyed: she has broken her wrist, almost snapped her ankle, gotten two concussions, getting the wind knocked out of her continuously and otherwise bruised, hit, headbutted and struck in every imaginable way in the last three months. The crazy thing is that it basically is her own fault, because she always goes 100% so she loses most of her energy very soon (no matter how well conditrioned you are you will get tired if you hulk out for 20-30 minutes) and after that she will not slow down even though she is exhausted which leads to extremely awkward landings from bizarre angles, even if the other guy is't practicing normally and actually being careful around her. How did she get to brown belt?

I've been doing judo for a year and a half in Arizona (I really liked the club there) but I recently moved to SF for work. I started attending a club here recommended by one of my former instructor but this new place isn't really working for me. The instructors are obviously knowledgeable about judo but they're bad teachers. At my previous club, the classes were structured; we did warmups, some practice uchikomi to get loose and work on technique, then the teacher would focus on a specific throw for that day, demonstrating it multiple times, explaining common mistakes, showing counters, etc. He would then break us off into groups to practice the move and observe us, making corrections when needed, etc. Later we would do randori (with the teacher actively watching) to practice the move we learned that day. The new club I've been going to lacks all this supervision and structure. After bow-ins the warmups are almost always done by brown-belts with many of the younger students goofing off. The uchikomi practice is normally done at a breakneck pace with no rest, to the point where 3 mins in you're so exhausted that your form breaks down. The instructors seem to have a hard time communicating the proper steps for a throw and rarely demonstrate it more then twice. After the "instruction" is done, they tell you to go practice it for 15 mins and wander off to talk with others instructors near the front desk. Randori is basically open mat, which I suppose is fine for the higher ranked students, but as a green belt I really wish I could get some critique from black belts while sparing. tl;dr I'm thinking about switching clubs, possibly to jiu-jitsu. This is a long shot but does anyone have any experience with the Gracie jiu jitsu clubs in San Francisco (in particular the one on Taraval St. which I live close to)? I've heard that Gracie places are generally good but also more corporate (you have to buy their gi or something)? I plan on walking and and observing a class tonight to see what it's like.

Had a trial class today with the gracie juijitsu place near me and it went really well! Everyone was really chill and the two blackbelt instructors were really good at explaining everything. After doing judo so long it feels really wrong to grab peoples legs but i guess i'll get use to it. Not exactly thrilled about having to buy a new gi and sign a contract but I think this place will work out way better for me then the judo gym I was going to.

A thing that has really helped me is keeping a journal. After class I spend 5 mins and writing down what we covered (plus any insights) that session. Before the next class (normally on the subway to it) I glance though it to see what we did in the previous few classes. I can't tell you the number of times I've looked though my notebook and said "oh ya, i remember that now".

re: mat burns, keep some neosporin in your gym bag and apply it after your session. it definitely helps with healing time.
