Hellblazer187 posted:Had my first judo competition on Saturday. Two losses, one win. The win wasn't very good. I'm in the 100kg+ category. My opponent was 101kg. I was 135kg. I just bullied him into a pin. I think my first loss was the better match and a better performance on my end even though I got nailed with an uchimata. When starting out in judo, I found that the most important thing was to just get fights in under my belt. Worrying about the quality of my performance was counterproductive. Keep on fighting! One win is much better than no wins, and I'm sure you have a laundry list of things you want to work on when you get back on the mat.

Today, I learned a valuable lesson in Judo. Make sure the guy who takes your registration does not put you in the open weight when you only weigh 210.

I got involved in Judo through my University. Pittsburgh just happens to have a 9th Dan former Korean Open champ teaching on tuesday nights, and his 6th Dan son who won multiple US national titles.

Yeah, his 9th Dan is from the Korean Judo Federation, not the Kodokan. His son's 6th Dan is from the USJI in think, or whatever other one does rankings. And EVERYONE knows that Judo is the safest Olympic sport! Psh, I don't wanna hear about your injuries that clearly don't exist.

So tonight our club had the honor of having a Mongolian Representative from the World Championships team at our club tonight. Straight dominating people. I didn't randori with him, but went back to back, and he pinned me real easy. Really cool stuff. I'm 210, and he was 150ish, and it wasn't even close.

The most annoying randori parter in my club is a guy who simply refuses to let you get a sleeve grip. He doesnt take on either, but pretty much just stalls and drops.

worst randori partner ever last night. green belt smaller than me. refused to grip. consistently tried to drop seoinage me. without a grip. he would just start turning and dropping, hoping to catch my sleeve on the way down. I wasn't even fighting super hard, he was just a lame partner. Oh, he also started trying to double leg me after falling down. Almost injured me when he dove straight into my knee. Sigh. Otherwise an alright practice.

Smegmatron posted:It was a girl I see your tapout, and raise you an accidental busted lip. Also, what do you goons think of rolling/randori with girls in general? My general principle is that they are there to be martial artists and athletes, so they don't want to be "treated like a girl" (Whatever the hell that means anymore) and treated as a peer. At the same time, if they are smaller than me, I'll treat it like working with any smaller judoka, focus on technique, move light, don't force anything.

Fontoyn posted:It seems like Judo is a lot of stop.start kind of exercise. How much do the judo practitioners in the thread train their cardio capacity? Judo is so hard, I cannot explain it in words. It requires explosiveness and endurance. The current ruleset, which is no popular, bans shooting directly for the legs, because high level judo was turning into freestyle wrestling with a gi on. It's a silly rule, but it doesn't change the fact that judo is still difficult and challenging. Please don't start the "Judo is stupid because of rules" argument. The emphasis in sportjudo judo is on throws. They want victories through throwing. Edit: This commentary is awful wedgie deliverer fucked around with this message at 01:54 on Jul 2, 2011 |

showbiz_liz posted:If I show up to, say, a beginner's BJJ class, will they turn me away/expect more of me than my body can give? You will probably never be turned away. If they push you super hard beyond any reasonable limit, then that is probably not the school for you. And as is mentioned previously in the thread, just get out and get started. Doing BJJ will get you in shape.

For our club at Pitt, I know the best thing was just word of mouth. People got their friends to try it out, and they all like it very much. This also may not be your ideal group either, but a group of Japanese majors at Pitt started and fell in love with it, so you might want to advertise to them, as well as the other Asian language majors. Also, what school are you at?

I feel like forward throws aren't that popular simply because there aren't many people who are adept enough at them to do it safely/consistently. Karo used to do a lot of uchimata and seoinage in his UFC fights. I see a good number of hip tosses and such though. See Frank Mir and Roy Nelson.

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. That reminds me of the time our Judo club first started last year, and this one white belt who clearly watched a ton of MMA tried to lock in a kneebar on someone else during our first live ne-waza like it was mundials or a championship fight based on the look on his face. Thankfully he had no idea what he was doing and just ended up hugging the guys leg really hard, but I still ran over ASAP to stop him. He never came back.

KingColliwog posted:ok so I can't train judo for two weeks so I'm working on conditionning mostly and watching youtube videos/thinking of combos/etc. Here's my 2 cents on the matter I'm assuming you are talking about a righty vs righty situation, where yes, it does work because if the sasae makes your opponent step, then his foot placement makes him more vulnerable to forward throws. However an aggressive pull that sasae uses can also encourage your opponent to sink his weight back making the kuzushi (off balancing) for a forward throw like harai goshi more difficult to achieve. So in other words, yeah it works, but Judo isn't about combinations on paper or flowcharts, but more about feeling out how your opponent reacts to you.

Nierbo posted:Well I was thinking right handed for both, i.e. I move to his right for the osoto and then put my foot on his left knee as I turn my body. and I end up facing where he was orignially facing. You have to convince him to step back with his right leg. The initial step into your osotogari MUST be convincing. It is helpful to create some lateral movement in your opponent using your hands and feet, but when you step in for osoto it must be somewhat deep, and it must scare him enough to step back with his right leg. When he steps his weight will be on his left leg, which is there the kuzushi for hiza guruma or sasae is located. This is for right osoto, left hiza/sasae

Office Sheep posted:I'm in a long run of just not being able to get the technique being taught in class that day. Specificly, my inside sweeps, uchi mata and seoi are awful. I just can't seem to put all the footwork and kazuchi together. I think it's those triangle and stutter steps. I miss when we were working on Georgian grip stuff. Judo is really, really, really drat hard. I believe that executing a perfect throw is mechanically much more complicated than most any other techniques in MA. It requires coordinated efforts from every part of the body, and techniques are filled with subtleties that are unique to different judoka. .... Ok, I'm ready to be horribly flamed.

Also remember to practice something that you enjoy. There is no point if you're not having fun. Don't feel pressure that if you are really enjoying a TMA of some sort, whether its Chinese wushu, TKD, or Karate that you MUST be in a UFC-tested combat based MA. If you really enjoy what you are doing keep on doing it. Just watch out for whatever claims you're going to make.

If you wanna see a hilariously awesome Judo attitude, check Kosei Inoue's attitude. Interviewer: So whats your game plan during a shiai? Inoue: Well, I want to throw my opponent for ippon Interviewer: How do you go about that? Inoue: well, I grab him, and then I throw him. EZPZ

My goal is to make top 2 and make the Senior roster, but just improving, winning one more fight, would be awesome.
