I've always liked judo kata, particularly the nage no kata. I like that it demonstrates the fundamentals of the different throws through a logically adaptive but idiotically persistent uke. For example, the first set shows an attacker who pushes tori, leaning into him. When that doesn't work, uke attempts a striking attack at the top of the head. Third is similar to the first attack, but uke instead remains rigidly upright instead of leaning into the attack. Each throw in the sequence shows a new attack from uke and a different principle from tori to exploit the opening. Plus there's all the metaphysical crap like discipline, coordination, balance, respect for the foundations of the sport..

As a judo player, I'd love to supplement with one or two gymnastics lessons per week.

All my worst black eyes have been from inadvertent head butts.

Just bring some tampons and don't worry about it.

hi liter posted:Thanks friends. Yea I was ranked a while ago, but -100kg in the USA I'm pretty sure could be won by a skilled Japanese high schooler/mid range college player. Do you ever run into Ajax Tadehara? I got my shodan with him several years ago.

Omglosser posted:She doesn't like the idea of wearing one but I was trying to say that the Sisu might be a good start because it's advertised as being the least restrictive and smallest, making it the least annoying for someone to wear. But if it turned out to be a bullshit sales hook that offered little or no protection I was just gonna skip it and press her to get a regular one. I use one. I hate wearing mouthguards and this one is definitely the lowest profile guard I've worn. I haven't taken any really hard hits in the chin or face (bjj and judo) but I also haven't received any damage from the hits I have taken. I still only wear mine about 50% of the time (mainly while working with whitebelts) but if I lost this one I'd order another without hesitation. One bit of advice: if you live somewhere warm, be careful not to leave the guard in your car, it'll soften up and completely deform.

Barfed on a visiting blackbelt last night. Practice was pretty much over and he asked if I was up for one more round. Not going to say no, so I went at it. 2 minutes later I'm in his guard and just lost it. Luckily it was all water, and I caught it all in my own lapel (classy like that). He seemed to think it was cool I went so hard but holy gently caress was it embarrassing.

I feel like that guy's reputation is starting to precede him and somebody's going to seriously hurt him and cause themselves problems. That said anyone know where I can get a Team Zelenoff beanie?

You haven't injured your upper back in the last few weeks? Like either hyperextended while rolling or strained while lifting? VVV that's kinda what I was thinking, with the sudden onset and cessation. VVV ihop fucked around with this message at 16:07 on May 15, 2016 |

Looking for gi suggestions. I'd like a gi I can use for BJJ and local judo tournaments. I've previously only bought judo gis, Fuji, Mizuno and Adidas. The last few fujis have worn out really quickly, and the mizunos and adidas don't fit me very well, short sleeves and long skirts. I'd like to get a BJJ gi that most resembles a judo gi. Specifically, looking for heavy cotton, minimal external adornment, and decent fit for a "normal" sized torso. Any suggestions?

I think I'm done with Fuji, last couple I had wore out too quickly.

It really depends on how tight the sleeves are. I've got a couple IJF-approved gis if I need, really just looking for a gi I can wear to either practice without getting too much poo poo from the judo guys. I've seen some Fushidas and HCKs and they look good. Also considering the 'tank' gi from Tatami.

Jesus Christ Serious lesson I learned: if you ever end up kicking someone's rear end, do NOT let them get back in their car.

Decades posted:So I have a funny problem - Muay thai makes me puke. A few times it’s been at the end of our regular striking class, which is mostly pad work and movement, and so not too big of a deal. Last week though I made my return to sparring after a long break and felt it welling up mid round, and after getting single legged had to hop up and suddenly run away while trying to give a thumbs up wearing boxing gloves, shedding pads in comedic fashion. I get this too. I don't think it's really a matter of fitness. For me I'm pretty certain it's from drinking water during or right before the intense parts of practice. If I swallow even a couple ounces of water then jump back in I get a bit barfy a couple minutes later. Maybe try to stay generally well hydrated, especially practice days. During practice if you get thirsty rinse and spit water but try not to swallow any.
