Thoughts on how to improve uchikomi?

>Thoughts on how to improve uchikomi?
I aint doin that shit

CHADi won.

How come many olympic matches are unavailable and gone from the internet? I can't find the full Riner vs Bashaev fight anywhere. I heard that the IOC owns broadcast rights and not the IJF. Do they just hide this shit forever when the olympics end?

>>224186
Correct

i've been sick since monday.
What sacrafice do i have to do to Kano to get rid of it?

>>224161
buy a dummy and just fully execute the throw

>>224099 (OP)
>Thoughts on how to improve uchikomi?
practice uchi komi with set up reaps and hooks

>>224169
He will go into hiding in disgrace

He didn't even respond to the video

>>224219
He'll return as Punished Chadi. a man denied his uchikomi

>>224225
He has become something of a meme in my circle, We will call each other and just go
Hi, this is chadi..and todayy we are going to look at traditional ryukyu grappling footage and discuss the similarities found in modern Mongolian wrestling [queue that same video of Kano looking awkwardly at the camera and then demonstrating a hipthrow] but before we get into that check out my book...

>>224099 (OP)
>How to improve uchikomi
Think up a situation you don't like, have your opponent mimic it
And have 3 different throws you want to try, and then have someone help you do something about it or suggest a better alternative

>>224229
I used to buy into his stuff so much, now I realize it's more like
>traditional ryukyu grappling
>modern Mongolian wrestling
>as you can see here guys we can see the fighters grabbing each other to try and throw one another
repeat same clickbait ad nauseam

>learn generic osoto gari through karate
>never land it in sparring
>learn osoto gari in college judo intro course
>never land it in randori
>learn osoto gari "properly" the traditional way in a dedicated judo school
>never land it in randori
>see someone posting on discord on how to do the competition osoto gari that actually works
>not even a video, literally just a text post describing how to do it
>hit osoto gari next time I try it in randori
Felt like I was Wimp Lo finally discovering the ruse.

>>224268
I've posted this before, but this is how Kimura hit Osoto by going to the side and almost breaking the knee.

From a forum post on the topic (https://judo.forumotion.com/t1686-sideways-o-soto-gari):

>I have written and explained several times on the old forum that ô-soto-gari is the single most incorrectly taught throw in the West. It's something I didn't realize until I moved to Japan. That is not to say that there aren't any different ways to perform ô-soto-gari, no, I am talking about errors, not 'henka'. Kuzushi and control in ô-soto-gari is typically done incorrectly in the West, where there is a tendency to pull sideways, instead of to the left hip (for migi-ô-soto-gari). This is very prominent in Kimura Masahiko's ô-soto-gari. In addition, there is the way Kimura really locks the leg with his reaping leg. I think that direction is not very significant and depends on displacement and action/reaction and debana. In addition, it's probably a limitation of photographic sequences, as suggested by the various film footage that exists.

>I have talked to three people who have regularly fought Kimura (I discussed Kimura at length with Ôsawa-sensei, my sensei Hirano also fought Kimura many times during randori, and I talked to another gentleman about 7-8 years ago who was then in his 90s but who had left jûdô, but who too had fought Kimura twice in shiai). All pointed out, if anything, that Kimura was hugely strong. Hirano, who himself was a quite remarkable jûdôka and who still holds the record of defeating 15 in a line-up in the yodan promotional shiai at the Kôdôkan, estimated that Kimura was about 5 times as strong as he. Of course this is a merely anecdotal and romanticized with no measured scientific data, but it gives an idea about how phenomenal Kimura's strength apparently was.

>Thoughts on how to improve uchikomi?
what hanpan says

how to do judo without breaking peoples legs?
all the "right" ways to do throws seems to involve hammering them over their knee in a way that locks it out

>>224418
the opponent needs to learn to fall properly to prevent actual harm.
If they know the throw is coming and can feel it they need to go with it.
I see in randori some people leg their knees in an attempt to resist the throw.
Doing that will only hurt you and make the tori feel like they hurt you even though it was your fault.
Tori just needs to focus on executing the throw properly

>>224440
>leg
lock*
some people lock their knees

>>224441
even in competition people arent gonna focus on not hurting you.
That's your responsibility

>>224415
How do you not get Ura Nage'd or Tani'd with this shit?

>>224460
Agh noo stop!!

>>224458
Look at the uke's posture. They're hunched forward and not in a position where they can launch an ura nage or tani.

>>224458
how to not get tani otoshi'd
>dont hip to hip

how to not get ura nage'd
>dont hip to hip
hope this helps

>>224493
excuse me but did his SLEEVE just TOUCH the PANTS!!!?!?!?! disqualify this man RIGHT FUCKING NOW

>>224636
that's some bullshit for not stopping it after the throw failed

>>224637
what a bizarre sport, how the fuck do they score this?

>>224683
I'm assuming point karate-esque scoring for strikes, Judo rules for throws and pins plus their own list of legal and illegal submissions (IIRC they can do any joint lock including leg locks but some or all chokes are banned)

>>224637
i love how sambo is just a more technical mma with way less spazzing

>>224637
I like Sambo, but it just seems to drunk Russian to me. I like Kudo more.

>>224686
When I was practicing the sport it was :
2 points : throw when the oponent falls on the side, holding dominant position on the ground 15 seconds
4 points : throw when the oponent falls on the back and you fall with him, dominant postion on groundwork for 30 seconds
6 points : when you knock the opponent down but they get up before 10 count
full victory : knockout or throw when the opponent is flat on his bavk but you remain standing, 12 points difference in the course of the fight.

Why do so many people look at judo skill as just landing throws and not their overall preformance in randori?
Getting some decent attacks in and being difficult to off balance and throw is just as good as landing throws the only major draw back is gassing yourself if you dont have the stamina in the tank.
and im not talking about muscling it

>>224783
Because that's the point (of the sport).

>>224789
I disagree.
I'd rather get one decent attack in that could potentially lead to a throw than look like a tard who moves like shit and muscles everything.
Sometimes i watch these tournaments and wonder how people got their black belt when they move like crap

>>224794
Do they really move like crap? Before headspins got banned, people would fucking breakdance their way out of throws and do everything in their power to either turtle or jump back up. To be fair, I'm talking about Olympians going against Olympians when I mean sport.

>>224803
>olympic comp
oh ok, we arent on the same page at all.
Im talking regular competition with some people just muscling it and crossing their legs when they step

>>224720
Those actually seem like pretty good rules for a point-based MMA fight, though I'm not a fan of scoring for simply holding pins, if only because it's boring (that might just be me being too beejbrained tho)

>>224720
is sambo fun? thinking about trying it (the non-strikes version)

>>225092
NTA but I think it's pretty fun. Sport sambo (the one without strikes) actually has the bigger & better talent pool; you just don't hear about it out west since sambo's known more for MMA here. There are very few restrictions on grips or anything, so you can do virtually any takedown you like. The ruleset also encourages more transitional work to newaza if that's your thing.

hey, i just want to thank that anon who wrote multiple paragraph long posts complaining about that black belt who always spams sumo squat tai otoshi's. it improved the FUCK out of my tai otoshi's just reading your descriptions of it. Hoping i can be as masterful as that man some day

>>225162
Elaborate

>>225155
>There are very few restrictions on grips or anything, so you can do virtually any takedown you like
yeah, I really like that. IJF rules have turned too restrictive.

>>224263
Yawara

>>225330
i wish women were real

>>225243
I deadlift 650lbs and doing shitty tai otoshis from a double lapel bully grip and jumping in semi circles and doing osoto otoshi if that fucks up is actually easy street, just hulking people dude, ive finally found a way to throw people who are better than me. I’m a white belt and I just screen capped that and I study those posts if I’m ever wondering about retard muscle tai otoshi, those four posts made kuzushi click for me after months of getting rekt by tall fat people, I’ve even been semi consistently throwing 200lb+ bjj black belts with it, it feels like cheesing throws almost. I am trash still though Fr

>>225332
There is still kuzushi in the bully tai otoshi. You are snapping them down and over their toes, you're just getting out of the way and not planting your foott across their mid shin

Steve Cunningham demonstrates something similar:

https://youtu.be/kYKdY01Q2PQ?si=lmVRCIo6MvY2MDnV

I like this version, but as the post says. It's a dick move because most of the time Uki will be landing flat onto their face

>>225336
>Steve Cunningham demonstrates something similar
You can also find a similar technique in shuai jiao/mongolian bokh

Mandatory drug tests and bans when

>>225351
All coaches should explicitly reserve the right to kick you off the mat if you appear inebriated in any way (and actually enforce it), but while I don't know what the situation looks like in Judo, as a bjjfag half of our gyms would probably go out of business. Thankfully it's a less of a problem in our sport but still, it's pretty fucking irresponsible

>>225351
They're already a thing dont talk about bjj in a judo thread.
If you're suspected of doping in anyway they'll pull you aside for a drug test.

>>225363
they do. They can kick you out for just being a jerk to another student.

>>225372
both usa judo and ijf publish a list of banned players
the ban has the potential to affect you AND your dojo depending in the severity.
You could even face a fine or the dojo could face a fine for allowing you to do what you did.

https://www.usajudo.com/disciplinary-actions

https://www.ijf.org/cleanjudo/3725

and both of them have report pages for for any form of doping

>>225372
im retarded disregard my initial comment

>>225373
Kinda fucked someone got banned for methadone

why does it take forever for me to learn anything
i have to ask one of the guys to practice the moves slowly on him a couple of times and letting it sit in my head before it works the next class

>>225429
stop worrying and just take your time
the more you worry the more anxious you're gonna get and that's not gonna affect your martial arts well

>>225429
because repping isn't an effective way to learn a task
the science is settled on this

>>225436
What's an effective way of learning than?

>>225436
>A YOUTUBE SAID IT BAD SO IT BAD

>>225436
Oh dear
The ecoschizo has switched sports

>>225440
he's not an ecoschizo
he's bringing up some video hanpantv made

>>225438
You have to actually do the thing you're trying to get better at,
not do an approximation of the thing, Or something that kind of looks like the thing
You need to actually do the thing

The same way learning phrases and doing flash cards will never teach you how to actually speak a foreign language, it's why 0% of duolingo users ever learned another language from it
the only way to learn it is just eat shit and start having conversations and sound like a retard for a while

Kata is fake, uchikomi is fake, repping is fake

>>225444
i guess weight lifters should stop lifting weights and only compete

>>225445
Weight lifting is their sport

There's no award in judo for how asthetically you can do half of an uchimata 25 times in a row against a dummy

>>225444
>doctors don't need to read or learn any extensive medical work, they just need to test surgery techniques and medicines they don't know about yet and see what happens :D

>>225452
That's a fundamental misunderstanding of how the process works
There is no rule that says you cannot use observations to inform strategies towards an end result

But reading books and playing surgeon simulator on unintendo DS is not going to prepare you
You won't develop the skill, the sensitivity with your tools timing and your work flow until you sit down and start cutting things

That's why surgeons start with cadavers because they are expected to screw up at first

>>225429
see >>224413

>>225458
*gasp*
it's almost as if
people do judo differently from person to person

OOH THE HUMANITY

>>225459
>everyone should do it the exact way a korean person said so it's boring to watch as bjj

>>225461
Be my guest and continue to waste your time training ineffectively, you're only hurting yourself in the end

>>225461
If anything that's the what the kodokan is doing
Do it exactly the way this 5'2" geriatric did 130 years ago or it's WRONG

>>225461
bjj isn't boring to watch, do you hate newaza?

>>225491
Come on now, yes it is
Nobody actually watches that shit

Go ask a gym full of people who the current ibjjf champions are, nobody will know
The people that participate don't even watch it

>>225493
last time i checked it was gordon ryan and people were saying he's unbeatable

>>225452
False equivalence
>>225453
>But reading books... is not going to prepare you

>>225429
Low spatial IQ but who gives a shit. If you started judo when already old and inexperienced it's going to be like that anyways, until it all kind of clicks in.
Or you can be like me and becoming the most annoying person in the sport because I cannot be thrown unless it's a 10/10 maximum strength throw and I cannot throw unless it's a sacrifice.
>>225332
Correction: become the second most annoying people in the sport

>>225502
Gordon hasn't competed with ibjff since 2018
See what I mean? 7 years of winners and nobody could name one

It's always black and white with you retards. No middle.

>>225531
>n-no you
top 10 memes and how they ruined an entire website

>>225531
>the millennial urge to compromise on everything
some issues there's no middle ground on and this is one of those things
skills can only be developed by doing the action. observing and copying at best can give you an idea of what you're trying to do but only doing it will make you better at it

uchikomi is not doing judo, if that were the case then karatekas would be the best fighters because they practice their kata every day
but of course when it comes time to fight they can't do jack shit
same with judo uchikomi, the only thing that matters is randori. everything else is a waste of your time

>>225542
It usually is a shit thread.
I dont even do bjj but still post in the bjj thread because they usually have something to talk about

>>225540
>some issues there's no middle ground on and this is one of those things

Midwit, everything has a balance.

>>225549
yeah and i dont think that balance is cutting a core part of learning a judo throw

>>225549
Tradition says getting punched in the head will toughen you up and make your chin stronger when it comes time to fight

No it won't, in fact does exactly the opposite and makes you more susceptible to KOs because of the compounding neurological damage

Ok let's compromise!
No, only one of these can be correct

>>225550
But where's the evidence that this process is actually helping you learn the throw, people might think it's helping them learn a throw
But of course if we took 2 people and one of them did 6 months of uchikomi and the other did 6 months of randori and then we had them fight at the end we know who would win 10 out of 10 matches

>>225556
>But where's the evidence that this process is actually helping you learn the throw, people might think it's helping them learn a throw
you cant be this fucking retarded and have enough neurons to know how to breathe

>>225561
>THE SCIENCE IS WRONG
>THIS KOREAN PERSON SAID SO

>>225561
>>225563
are you trying to get good at doing uchikomi or at throwing a resisting partner?
these are not the same skill, you're spending time doing something that is not increasing your ability to do the thing you want to actually do

hitting a bag doesn't make you a good boxer
uchikomi is judos equivalent to that. a fairly pointless endeavor that maybe you can include in a workout to increase your action capacity but otherwise isn't making you better on the skill side of things
runners get better by running, swimmers get better by swimming, judo players get better by doing judo
uchikomi isn't judo, its a choreographed dance routine

When I am doing Uchi Komi, it's to generally improve my Judo by exposing me to specific joint positions and have a basic understanding of what the throw should feel like. Those without prior knowledge of Judo will usually follow their instructors commands to a T, eventually they will change minor things like hand placement or foot placement.

When I am doing Randori, it's to generally improve my Judo by exposing me to various positions that force me to adapt both on a neurological level and a physiological level.

Uchi Komi is Judo to the same extent Randori or Nage Komi is Judo. Certain training methods yield greater results and the desired adaption depends on what you and your goals. Want to work on fitting in and lifting? Do Uchi Komi to get GENERALLY better at Judo. Do Nage Komi to practice the GENERAL aspect of throwing someone with a specific throw and get GENERALLY better at Judo. If you want to do a live fight or have serious resistance? Do Randori to GENERALLY get better at Judo.

Specific training isn't specific. These are the same things people argue about when doing stuff like rotational medicine ball throws to 'improve their golf swing' or 'improve their rotational power output.' No, it's to get generally stronger and more powerful.

>>225564

only one of these three can explain doubling down stupidity

>>225564
>uchikomi isnt judo
new low just dropped

>>225531
The midwit has spoken with his -as expected- reply of what's already fucking obviously implied
>>225566
fair enough

Going to class and getting my ass kicked is the only period in my week I feel as though I'm progressing in life. After Judo I feel directionless, hopeless, like shit. Does anyone feel the same? Does anyone know how to achieve a degree of peace and contentment in all aspects of my life outside of the classes? I also go gym as well for some strength and conditioning, but I am lacking in any emotionally fulfilling connections. I am dead inside.

>>225700
I did but Judo actually allowed me to perform better career wise.
>but I am lacking in any emotionally fulfilling connections
Do you have a Job? Studies?
Also, your fellow judofags will slowly become your friends. You just gotta give it some time because 95% of Judokas are kind of autistic, even the women.

>>225700
just become a hospital security guy or bouncer in some urban area and you'll be able to have something important to use judo for, thus increasing the amount of pleasure you get from judo by adding the aspect of a job well done. as well as verbal judo randori practice.

Why does nobody like Osoto Otoshi? It's sooo good.

>>225719
I don't hate it, but it's something I used when I didn't understand proper osotogari.

>>225720
I feel like Otoshi is better than Gari, just seems more intuitive

>>225719
It's the ultimate filter throw

I would like to learn judo but I feel it's a cope without leg grabs

It seems so strict with it's rules like YOU HAVE TO HAVE THIS SPECIFIC GRIP OR ITS NOT ALLOWED

whereas wrestling you just do whatever works

Tl;Dr will judo ever become a useful martial art again or just esoteric flashy olympic crap that takes 20 years to master

>>225790
judo is still a useful martial art without leg grabs
especially in street fights

>>225798
>Posts the same tired gif of drunks getting tripped over

>>225810
so you're saying you can survive being body slammed onto concrete?

>>225790
>I have no experience in martial arts but I have strong opinions about them
many such cases

>>225810
>anon thinks he can survive this on concrete
this is a legal move btw
https://youtu.be/ORIYstuxYT8?si=JLXegeQWX9zvUepq

>>225812
Yet this never happens in actual fights. You just get punched or leg grabbed, or wrestling style suplex

>>225816
Judokas think that people will just stand there like living sandbags and let you execute these 0.0001% throws. If you show any resistance it all of a sudden becomes a dream and you eat a knuckle sandwich. It's why you don't see this stuff in MMA

>Posts that one time an olympic judoka did a fancy throw against a wall once

>>225818
>It's why you don't see this stuff in MMA
You clearly don't watch MMA. There's more judo used in MMA and BJJ now more than ever.

>>225790
Just go to a Gym and telling your sensei and training partners you would like to work under the traditional ruleset. Once you get assblasted because life isn't throwing singles 24/7 and crawl back to olympic Judo post again.

>>225817
Probably because Judokas aren't going around getting into street fights
>>225818
6/10 made me reply

>>225810
>>225818
i like how you've been btfo'd so many times that you've memorized the videos that btfo'd you

>>225821
So what's the point. I want to learn something I can use in reality. I'm not risking catastrophic injury for elaborate dance larping

>>225829
I think you're coping. It's always the same gif of fat bouncers foot sweeping drunk men or the woman in Africa lmao

Yet on any world star fight you'll see wrestling, boxing even kickboxing. Never see judo. With other stuff involved it doesn't work. God forbid headbutts involved.

>>225843
>this wrestling headlock is different from a judo headlock and this wrestling grab is different from a judo grab and this wrestling takedown is different from this judo takedown

everyone in wrestling uses elements of judo and everyone in judo uses elements of wrestling, it's not one or the other. judo is just a teaching of how to throw people using leverage, wrestling is a sport of taking people down.

go back

>>225848
Throwing people using leverage is 10 times less efficienct than just taking people down

>>225850
I wonder what it feels like to be this retarded.

>>225843
>Yet on any world star fight you'll see wrestling, boxing even kickboxing. Never see judo

>>225856
Did that look like a fight to you. Looks like some guy bullying someone who doesn't want to fight

Do i just get used to losing a lot?
feels sort of depressing

/judo/

give me some examples of verbal judo

>>225860
seven times down, eight times up. you stand to win everything, not lose anything

you gotta just shrug that shit off, have a supreme level of confidence going in and believe that you'll win. if you lose, move on with life and find the next thing, always be aggressively positive.

>>225843
>>225858

>>225704
I have a job but that's just IT. It's boring but it pays for mortgage. Feels as though i'm not learning much besides just consuming stuff. Even video games are boring, they're only good if I did something valuable and use them to relax.
>>225870
i like that mentality. Will dwell on it and be a better anon rather than complaining.

>>225918
That's an assault, possibly a murder

>>225920
maybe you need something more fulfilling. you could try getting into something artistic or creative

>>225925
Does that mean I drop Judo all together, or do I just add something artistic/creative? I am stupid.

>>225919
>Posts fake prank to prove judo works
Kek

>>225937
prove it

>>225945
why did he throw it before the guy even made contact with him? almost as though he was intending to miss the whole time in some kind of..I dunno? scripted event?

>>225946
what about this one >>225859

I am spatially retarded but I sat down I think I might have figured out how I am able to digest all these weird technical movement...I remember things the best when instructors use visualization language instead of 'do this..then this..then that...' which hurts my retarded brain. Instead, I remember things best when it's like 'hold like you're holding a schoolbag' and other bullshit.
>>225946
Did he though? My thinking is that the guy was able to catch his armpit early, which pretty much negated his ability to pipe the judo guy.

>>225926
add. just my advice as probably the only two truly fulfilling things in my life have been judo/martial arts and music

>>225945
More obviously fake shit

>>225949
I think I have understood now how judo dweebs get groomed into thinking this shit will work in real life after doing their playful randori where you are encouraged to let each other throw each other

If you can't tell that video is fake you clearly have a very loose grasp of reality. dangerous for you tbqh. No wonder my local gyms judo class if full of unfit skinnyfats

>>225950
what type of music you play my man

>>225959
what about this one

>>225968
That was real but he was being "attacked" by a small malnourished guy who had no clue what he was doing.
You could have shoved that guy over with one arm, why do you even need judo there. Judo seems to work against the severely weak in situations where you might as well just push them over, you don't need ippon sayonara for that lmao

>>225964

I'm having a hard time getting grips and getting close. I usually assume top grip and some other lapel or double top similar to a tie hold or head and shoulder grip. I really just can't close with my opponent and I feel like they're able to get grips first while I'm left to flounder a bit. I haven't had this issue before, but the last two sessions kind of brought me to this conclusion.

What are some tips for getting close or getting head-and-shoulder grips/ top or double over grips. I really just want to know tips for getting into that close, bear-huggy kind of area faster and more often.

>>226064
I always like to consult Mother Nature and what other animals do. Bears have a tendency to move to the side and try to push the other bear onto their less supportive axis. Sort of how we do Uchi Mata or some hip drag throw, barreling into the Uki while at their side. However, bears do this not to just get the other bear to the ground, but to reach the back of their necks and arteries.

In states of hesitation or pre entry, bears will ball their heads up and curl their humps on their back up towards the back of their neck as protection before going into an attack. Depending on the size of their foe, they will usually try to spearhead their way into something and maximally close distance. Still, following the principle of getting to the side and pushing their foe to the ground so they can reach around the neck and snap the spine or severe an artery.

Cougars and other large mammals with protruding canines and claws enact this behavior as well.

The takeaway here is if you want to close distance better and get grips around the neck better, you need to take a stance that allows you to spearhead your way into the Uki. Covering your face and battering your way in, keeping your hands close to you and cover yourself while moving in from the sides. Try to avoid straight on attacks into Uki's power or athletic front (the position they are braced in and facing). This can be done by remembering to move the whole body in one unit. Keep your eyes and hands facing in the same direction your toes are pointed, never try to bend your back and abs around as the force you can output greatly diminishes. Anyways, back to bears. Keep your hands and head close, spear into them from the side, and close maximize going for the head and neck earlier and striking before Uki can. Always keep the pressure, break them down by constant snapping motions but not slow pulling and stiff-arming.

>>226064
>>226071
One other thing, when a bear is being attacked by a similar animal and they don't care to engage and just want to the get out of that area. They'll either scamper away, or they'll maintain that tucked position I was talking about earlier but they'll shake and shake violently. They'll shake around their necks and heads to make it their hide harder to grasp onto. You can try this in class if someone gets a grip and you just want to make them let go, but you should also fight for your own grips and continue trying to get to the side while also shaking your collar or where ever they have a hold of you.

>>226832
He uses Judo, it's very clear he knows Judo techniques like Kosoto and O-Uchi

>>226088
well he's right
why does everyone in judo uniquely have bad shoulders? not just bad but totally destroyed?
there's nothing inherent to this particular grappling sport except the dumbass "drilling" everyone is forced to do. It's overuse injuries

>>226837
What should people be doing instead of drilling moves?

>>226838
You just got to play, 99% of your throw is in the set up
But people autistically spend hours and hours and hours practicing the 1% at the end

Why are some judoka fat and out of shape but you don't get fat or out of shape wrestlers?

>>226835
>Tripping someone is Judo!!!!!!!!

>>226860
because most judo matches can and will literally end in a couple seconds.
How does body slamming your opponent onto the ground in a couple of seconds need you to be shredded with 6 pack abs
also there are plenty of fat wrestlers lol

>>226862
i remember the first martial arts school i went to there was this 6'0 300+lb d1 univeristy wrestler
everyone was scared to fight him

>>226860
When the quickest win/lose condition is being picked up or knocked over fatmaxxing is a valid strategy, it's why sumo is like that too

>>226865
fighting big guys is fun. challenging, exhausting but you can learn a lot. and you know that whatever worked on them will sure as shit work on smaller people.

Anyone ever landed funny and now their arm hurts? It's like I pulled a muscle and it cramps up if I do any sudden pulls and shit.

Judo ground stuff is so weird
They make absolutely no effort of self preservation to fight off the attacks, they always just accept it and grit their teeth

>>224683
No points for strikes, throwing your opponent flat on his back is an instant victory if you don't fall with him, otherwise it's 4 points, holding him down for 20 seconds is also 4 points and you need a difference of 8 to win, a wazari throw is either 4 or 2 depending on again if you go to ground with him, or stay up. 1 point gets awarded if your opponent falls on his stomach. There are also arm and leg locks, but no choking.

>>227878
It's the exact opposite of BJJ's problem - because of the sport rules, newaza is often severely neglected
Add to that that the ref can just stand you up if they deem that neither side is making any progress, so sometimes the most optimal defense to submission attempt is just no-selling it

>>226071

Why did he stay flat on his belly instead of standing up?

Why are so many people in martial arts like this? Boxing, MT, Karate, Judo or BJJ they all seem to have a giant complex when they see someone who lifts weights or does some other activity other than getting in fights

>>228227
technique first, strength second.
Strength can help you a ton but if you rely solely on it you'll gas really quickly or they'll tap/throw you quickly but yes strength does play a role to an extent. Being able to deadlift 600lbs though isnt really much of a requirement for any of these martial arts which is why bjj and judo fighters are either fat or dyel and the jacked guys like mike israetel or joe rogan move like shit on the mat

>>228230
and the reason i say this in terms of judo is becuase your hip placement matters a ton for throwing people.

>>228227
because that's the point of technique. its the physical analogue of technology. you learn it to do less work while you accomplish the same thing.
its like if you needed to change a lightbulb, well you just reach for the step ladder. but why not just get leg lengthening surgery? you get to spend a few months suffering in some unlicensed hospital in southeast asia, and once its done you can change any lightbulb you want, you can even reach the top shelf with no need for different techniques, its one size fits all (insofar as it involves reaching something near above your head at least.) and sure you can't walk through doorways the same anymore, and you hit your head on branches more often, but that's just the price of admission. also you need to make sure they don't shrink.
its just silly to do all that. and its not that fitness should be outright avoided or whatever, but like bulking up, I mean what's it good for? you punch a guy twice as hard? big whoop. clearly there's better things to do.

>>228232
>but like bulking up, I mean what's it good for? you punch a guy twice as hard? big whoop. clearly there's better things to do.

>>228230
Technique is just the vehicle you use to express your strength
Strength is still the most important aspect
Karate seemed to understand this, supplementary physical training has always been a part of it
Only charlatans like the gracies downplay it's importance

>>228227
Because
1) when you start you already has some strength and some endurance, what you don't have is technique (i.e. you don't know what to do - how to throw, how to enter etc)
2) you will develop some strength while doing your sport

Anyway the discussion is stupid, since technique is the best way to apply strength. People usually have wrong idea that technique is simply sequence of body parts movements. This is wrong. You can't train technique without applying force. How much strength do you need and at what levels of your experience is completely another story.

>>228241
And I want to add, in complex sports, winning is multifactor thing. You sometimes can be suboptimal in one things (for example strength) and be better at endurance, strategy, technique etc. Look at Buvaisar Saitiev. He literally had nickname "The Worm" among his peers because he was thin and not very strong.

>>228238
>Technique is just the vehicle you use to express your strength
That also means every time you perform technique you train strength to some degree. It is impossible to do all greco roman lifts from ground and have weak hinging power.

I'm not sure whether to pick judo or wrestling for self defence

>>228247
Pick wrestling while you are able to train it and judo later in life

>>228227
That's just backlash against the idea that being muscular makes you a fighter. Like that eceleb bodybuilder who's constantly announcing he's 260 lbs and therefore could beat up anyone

>>228227
Your pic and your text present two different questions. Anyway
>cope

>>228238
much better phrased than what i said
im gonna start using this

>>228227
This guy gets it
>Bigger guys don't need to play small
>Stronger guys shouldn't have to hold back outside of training
>If you're born with ubermensch genes you should embrace the fact that you don't have to work or train as hard to win against genuinely weaker folk
Life isn't fair, the genetic lottery isnt fair, rarely is a fighting sport "even", hell, it's arguably usually not even close
Just do good break falls and don't fucking cope if someone can find more time to bother to be stronger

>>228227
Athleticism is obviously very important, but relying too much on strength in training can hamper the development of your technique, that's where the sentiment originates. Then people use it to cope with being lazy and unfit

Dead thread. RIP.

>>230148
Yup, judo is over
I simply practice ecologically now, there's no need for a formalized move list in the current year

>>230152
Where to find ecological judo school?

>>230155
There's like one random Welsh guy that does it
You need to create the games yourself

For example osotogari game I had people playing The Other day, The goal of the game is to touch the calf of your right leg to the calf of your partner's right leg or left leg to left leg, that gives you one point
However! Since the win condition is the same for both of you, you only get a point if your partner is leaning back. No need to fully do takedowns yet, in fact it's discouraged
Then play the game again, a leg touch is still 1 point but this time after making leg contact if you manage to push your partner all the way to the ground you 3 points
First to 10 wins then play again

There's an unlikely chance I would be using Judo in self defense but ever since I stepped onto the mats and got my ass kicked over and over again it really did change my approach and outlook towards life, for the better. Is it stupidity? I'm not too sure, all I know is that I'm having fun.

>>230166
>Is it stupidity?
It's called "Discovering a hobby you enjoy"

>>230182
well in his case it's stupidity because it never crossed his mind that he enjoys judo

>>230148
there really isnt much to discuss if you're participating in the sport as most of the feedback you'll get from your sensei. This isnt like bjj where rhe instructor will purposely ignore the question and not give you feed back. Most of the discussion threads on r/judo are quite literally children

>>230192
or punish you for asking the wrong ones

>>230192
Eh even then the sensei won't know everything. Most of my judo (90%) comes from self-experimentation and discussing and watching vids online. I'm basically only paying for randori partners at this point.

Anyone mentally recovered from an injury? I've landed on my back and unfortunately due to a tight neck/shoulder it gave my left bicep a really strong cramp..can't move it much especially when I want to do back squats. Noting broken, seen a message therapist. I want to go back into Judo but I'm paranoid because of the injury.

>>230608
The mental block is real
Everybody gets gun shy after an injury, You even see it in professional fighters that are total savages and then get knocked out for the first time and are never quite themselves after it again

I was looking right at 2 white belts when one of them blew out the others ACL by grapevining the leg during an osotogari attempt
I had just told them not 10 minutes earlier to not do that and they did it again

And this time there were consequences
The sound was like when you remove a drumstick off a chicken..and then the screaming..from both of them
AGHHHHH AGHHHH AGHHHH!!!
OH FUCK OH FUCK OH SHIT IM SORRY OH FUCK!!

To this day 3 years later I still feel a nervous chill every time I see legs entangle

>>230619
that doesn't help at all anon

>>230619
ah man, i saw my first real injury a couple of months ago and the screaming is what still haunts me.
it's so different and urgent. you just immediately know shit's fucked up. like their voice changes pitch.

>>230761

>>230851

>>230862
>Europeans are gigantic oversized freaks
>remove leg grabs because they can't cope with optimally sized humans knocking them over so easily

I used to do judo as a kid and I want to get back into it by I'm worried about the injury potential. I understand bumps and bruises are part of any decent martial art and I'm fine with that but I don't want to get my ACL blown out by some tryhard autist.

>>224099 (OP)
>skill can overcome stre-ACK
Oh no no no no Judo bros.... not like this!

>>231622
I do this with kids often and they do what seems to be happening here, pulling in opposite directions and canceling each other out

>>231622
who the fuck gave them a black belt?
zero kuzushi

Someone at the gym was saying osoto gari is the most dangerous throw you can do to someone. Is osoto gari really as devasting as people make it seem? I feel like seo nage or a good tai otoshi whips way harder than osoto gari.

>>231893
an older, vetted black belt at our dojo got fully knocked out for a few seconds when some white belt hit osoto on him

i'd say it's a pretty unforgiving throw when done with full intent. either gari or otoshi, i actually think otoshi is worse because you're adding your own gravity and weight onto them as they're going down.

i'm pretty sure they did a study also on the level of kinetic energy different throws produce and found osoto and harai to be the most powerful

>>231995
Just googled that study. It was on determining which throw between harai ogoshi, osoto gari, and seo nage exerted the most kinetic energy. It found that harai ogoshi produced the most kinetic force when throwing ukes under 80kg. Osoto was generally the most powerful tho. Honestly surprised cause every harai I've been hit was always underwhelming. Maybe because they people here only really harai as a last ditch effort in randori.

>>231653
Try to get any sort of kuzushi going again someone who's twice your weight and three times as strong.

Protip: it doesn't work.

>>232088
jarvis, post Yasuyuki Muneta's Sasae

>>232105
Muneta might not be tall but he's over 100kg, meaning the only international level Judoka to maybe be twice his size is Ricardo Blas Jr. Martins Licis, on the other hand, weighs in at 150-160kg.

Again, the average rikishi is around 140kg nowadays, and even recent lightweights in Makuuchi division such as Enho are typically at least 100kg, with only very few in the division - such as Ichinojou - closing in on 200kg.

Sure, there's always outliers such as Orora or Akebono, but these are outliers for a reason.

>>232385
Your sumo knowledge is out-of-date by a half a decade. Enho dropped out of makuuchi 5 years ago, Ichinojo is retired, and Akebono passed away.

>>232389
I'm well aware of that but just using conveniently extreme examples to illustrate the point because otherwise they'd be brought up, I've been keeping up otherwise.

at around 20:20 travis goes into the judo stance. I don't quite get what's the ideal stance. Obviously, too narrow or too wide will get you thrown. But how do I know I am at the perfect stance? Is it shoulder width?
>learn it in class/ask your sensei
I live in a shithole country and train at a dump with a sensei that doesn't give a shit and it's barely a shidan. All I get to learn is shit online and randori with different people of different skill. No one teaches us colored belts properly

>>233053
It's situational. Travis Stevens was showing using a stance between the 2nd and 4th stances on this page. Use these stances as a guideline to keep your balance.

Elbow up or elbow down?

Can a defenseless woman really nullify the strenght of a giant (if she uses her power correctly)?

>>233085
Didn't the South Korean guy say the elbow up version is much more practical than classical elbow down?

>>233107
pretty sure he said the opposite
the way people usually teach uchi mata is the traditional "look at your watch" kuzushi where you pull them up
the problem with teaching it this way is that no competitors actually pull uke up, they pull down like in the OP image
maybe we're talking about different elbows

>>233108
I don't even know how Chadi coped for as long as he did, he had pretty much no leg to stand on. In no universe would I, if I was trying to get someone to the ground, pull UP towards the sky instead of DOWN to the ground.

Do you guys Kiai when fighting?

>>233142
I was told to always kiai on the way down because even if it wasn't your throw if it was a close call it'll go to you because they'll think it was yours

>>233092
Theoretically yes. Dr. Kano was known for being tiny and dunking on big guys, e.g. the Russian sailor anecdote. It takes a significant skill gap to overcome a significant strength gap.

>>233142
No, because I'm a coward and don't want to look like an ass if I botch the throw.

The Uchi-komi aristocracy is collapsing as we speak. No longer we will have to listen to boomer frauds telling us how our form is wrong and giving us bad advice. A new age is starting... the Age of RANDORISM! From now on, all will be pressure tested, down to the last throw. If it doesn't work, fix it. If it doesn't still, throw it away. Kuzushism and Uchhikomism are on their way out, pragmatic Randorism shines on the horizon. I ask you: Do you want total Judo?! Do you want a judo more total and radical than anything that we can imagine today?! Are you ready from now on to give your full strength to provide Judo with the Randorism it needs to give Uchikomism the death blow? NOW, JUDOKAS RISE UP AND LET THE RANDORI BREAK LOOSE!!!

>>233583
top kek
>Kuzushism
How do you plan to land a throw in randori without kuzushi?

There's only 2 takedowns
Split the legs and turn or block the legs and lift
There's also a weird 3rd category where you do nothing to the legs and just move the upper body so fast the legs can't keep up, but that's more him falling than being taken down so it doesn't count

Everything falls into these categories no exceptions, all your "moves" beyond that are just flavor

>>233597
Strength, see
>>231622

>>233673
Kushushi is the application of strength. Bad example anyway because Martins didn't get the takedown until the guy in the blue gi threw himself to the ground.

>>233666
There's only one throw: the opponent moves, you move him further in that direction than he anticipated, and then you trip him.

>>233675
>be me

>>233694
everyone knows and not many people care ive literallt noticed the people that do care are usually mentally a child or are a child.

>>233597
by establishing a dominant grip and controlling their posture you can already largely throw someone. kuzushi is overemphasized.

Watched a guy break a kids shoulder the other day, not sure if based or cringe

>>233791
Controlling their posture how? Maybe in a way that breaks their balance?

>>233796
how? what belt was he?

>>233796
Kid should've done his breakfall or tapped out.

>>233824
Middle aged black and college freshman brown

>>233831
I'm not sure I understand that right, was he turning him over from turtle with a power half like picrel?

>>233835
He was to the side with an arm configuration simular to this, except it was actually tight and with the hands locked like the power half

>>233840
Yeah that's called a fully locked in ude-garami/kimura
He probably expected the kid to roll forward to defend, but regardless of intent he cranked it past the point of breaking.
That was either pure retardation or outright malice, neither of which is excusable nor should be allowed on the mat
>but he didn't tap
Ok, it's your responsibility to not injure your training partner, if they refuse to tap then you just catch and release, you don't break their limbs to massage your own ego

>>233845
>if they refuse to tap then you just catch and release
People who do this prematurely are extremely obnoxious.

How would you rank the chokeholds in terms of most and least painful?

>>233850
Forgive me for using english terms, for I am a beej pleb
"naked" chokes that don't rely on the gi (RNC, leg triangle, arm triangle etc) aren't really painful, there's just pressure. Exceptions being when there's a crank or your head is at an angle such that your jawbone is being compressed
Chokes that utilize the gi as "handles" but don't actually use it for the choke itself (cross collar for example) can be a bit painful but not terrible
Chokes that choke you with the gi directly (bow-and-arrow for example) can be (and often are) really fucking painful and frequently leave me with bruises on my neck

>>233845

He jumped off and said I thought he was going to roll! He didn't give the right reaction people usually roll!!

And from my vantage point I actually expected him to roll too and while it was happening I was thinking to myself he must be tangled up in the gi and unable to roll because I don't know why he isn't rolling right now
And instead of rolling or tapping he just started yelling ow

As I understand the situation, he either did it ballistically and without control or he intentionally pushed it past the point of breaking. Neither is acceptable.
That the kid wasn't tapping is irrelevant - yes, it is their duty to protect themselves, but it's also their partner's duty to not knowingly and intentionally cause harm to them
As I see it, this should result in at least a very stern reprimand, if not an outright ban from the gym. There are training incidents and injuries where no one is at fault. This is not one of them

>>233950
>This is some shit you'd expect to hear out of a bjj school?
This shit would absolutely get you kicked from pretty much all bjj gyms. For all the Brazilian machismo bullshit that permeates bjj, snapping up your partner's shit is not tolerated anywhere (that I know of at least)

>>233965
yet instructors do it to """"humble""" people all the time.
interesting...

>>233964
I dont think that black belt understands he can literally derank because of something like this or at least recieve a ban under his NGB. There's surprisingly high ranking people at my club that dont know every intracate rule.
There are literally people banned on the usa judo ban page for something that happened outside of judo. You're supposed to demonstrate judo philosphy of kindness, humility and resepct both on and off the mat

What the fuck am I supposed to do in Randori with a fresh white belt? I was stuck with someone about six inches shorter and far lighter than me, and the coach clearly thought I was a bit of a faggot for not going full force on them when they didn't really know what they were doing.

>>233985

>>233985
>the coach clearly thought I was a bit of a faggot for not going full force on them when they didn't really know what they were doing
is everyone here training under absolute sociopaths?

how the fuck do i learn moves as a white belt? i have no idea what to do in a randori. i know no moves and all moves seem complicated for me. the only think i normally do is try to practice my breakfalls because i'm getting fucked up anyway. fuck i should quit, dont know why i keep continuing after 3 months.

>>234006
>Deny his grips
>Get your grips
>Move him around
>Feint and attack

>>233985
>going full force in randori with a white belt
The first judo school I attended, run by an old man with serious credentials, explained randori to us as cooperative free flow sparring. We were instructed to more or less take turns throwing each other. Tori would try to set up and execute a good throw, while uke would try to keep his balance without hard countering the throw (unless tori totally botched it). We did a fair amount of sparring and shiai but randori was always different.
>coach clearly thought I was a bit of a faggot for not going full force on them
Did he tell you this?

>>233992
This. Let them get a feel for moving around, let them attempt some throws, and let them learn what it's like to get thrown with a clean and controlled throw into a good breakfall.

>>233968
>There are literally people banned on the usa judo ban page for something that happened outside of judo. You're supposed to demonstrate judo philosphy of kindness, humility and resepct both on and off the mat
How silly do they get with this? Are people getting booted only for extreme legal cases like murder-rape convictions or do they have more subjective criteria?

>>234006
>how the fuck do i learn moves as a white belt?
Uchikomi and randori. When trying to get a feel for things the first time with uchikomi take it slow and get your body position right at each stage of the throw. Try to understand exactly why you're positioning yourself the way that you are. I would also suggest reading and watching videos about the specific techniques you're trying to learn. Don't be afraid to ask your instructor (or even some of the more competent colored belts) for input on what you're doing wrong. You may come across a lot of different opinions, in which case I would recommend primarily focusing on implementing what your instructor tells you while reflecting on the pros and cons of other variants for your body size and proportions.
>i have no idea what to do in a randori
Footwork, posture, balance, and breakfalls while looking to set up a throw of your own. Learning to move smoothly and correctly will help you immensely once you start getting your throws figured out.
>i know no moves
Are you saying that you're proficient in zero throws or that you aren't even vaguely familiar with any throws? What does a typical class look like and how often are you attending?
>the only think i normally do is try to practice my breakfalls
This is the most important skill in judo and you're way more likely to need it outside of class than anything else you learn. Getting thrown a bunch also helps teach you about how throws work and makes you better at throwing.
>dont know why i keep continuing after 3 months.
Sometimes it takes a while for things to "click," particularly if you're not already from a strong athletic background. If you're the lowest skill guy there it will take you a while to catch up to the others; this doesn't mean that you're not making progress, it just means that you don't have a good way to measure your progress right now.

>>234017
it weird because some of the bans say "banned until legal case is resolved"

>>234016
>Did he tell you this?
More or less. We went into a corner of the mat and we took turns throwing each other. It was their first lesson and they'd only even seen Osoto-Gari, Osoto-Otoshi, and Uki-Goshi. After mate was called, he shouted at me across the mat to not just let myself be thrown during Randori and to actually fight for the throws. I'm fine with that on other partners, but it doesn't seem productive with someone who's had about 40 minutes of training and is far smaller than me, can't really do throws, and outright said they weren't confident in their ability to manage throws.

>>234052
That's a little odd. I assume the instructor was aware that it was the other guy's first day? Are you also a white belt? Have you been reprimanded for passivity in the past?

>>234052
what your instructor wants you to do is limit yourself and still try to fight.
If you cant do that you land a throw - next reset you let him throw you etc. Or limit yourself to work on things you have issues with. I suck at sweeps. Im all big throws if i work with a new white belt im limiting myself to sweeps to work on sweeps so they can work on whatever they learned
if i get thrown and given shit i can say that i was taking the opportunity to work on sweeps ans it'll be the truth.
Even better if you tell the white belt "hey km gonna work on x" in a conversational level voice because your instructor might hear it.
The biggest thing is that you need ti let him work while also working yourself but going easy on him.
If he only knows like 3 throws that they arent even good at and you mess up and they have an opening to go for osotogari, let them so they can gain confidence in osotogari. What most people will do against more experienced judoka in class, when they mess up and give an opening they'll try to recover. And remember there are good and bad ways to talk back. If your instructor gives you can always say that you want the white belt to work and gain confidence. What your instructor was looking for was your ability to work in moderation and gauge you as not just a fighter but also a teacher. Judo is very sparse in the US with like one or two schools in every major city in comparison to bjj being at every corner. The biggest end goal for judo is to spread and teach judo.

>>234080

I only do judo because that's my only outlet i have in life besides work and gym

>>234019
>Uchikomi and randori.
Thanks anon, I'll do as you suggested. Great tips. I guess I have to do my homework and slowly break down the step/methodology. Another anon saying to pick 4 throws is helpful in giving myself something concrete.
>work, posture, balance, and breakfalls while looking to set up a throw of your own
Makes sense, having something to focus on despite having no clue on throwing is helpful
>Getting thrown a bunch also helps
I tend to get cramps, especially in my legs and arm when I land. Is it only a diet issue or is there more to it?
>proficient in zero throws or that you aren't even vaguely familiar with any throws?
Bit of both honestly. I took some time off to handle some family matters. I think I need to practice my uchikomi more on the basics. A typical class involves a warm up game, and then rolls, before newaza, randori for newaza, before practicing a technique, tai otoshi this time round, before we move into randori.
>it just means that you don't have a good way to measure your progress right now.
that's a good way to think about it I guess..I'll keep showing up.
thanks for taking time writing back on my blogpost. hope this cute picture is enough.

>>234158
>tend to get cramps, especially in my legs and arm when I land. Is it only a diet issue or is there more to it?
stretch before and after class and make sure to be hydrated tonthe point where your pee is the same color as your toilet bowl water, completelt clear

also stop care about measuring your progress. you'll lead yourself down a deep and dark anxious rabbit hole. It's not fun. When you do eventually start getting better you'll question whether you're sctually that good. I do it all the time and then i'll go cross train and hear people whisper about me. That doesnt stop me from thinking bad things about myself though. So take my advice now before it's too late. Stop caring about how you're progressing and its good and start caring about just doing judo, showing up to class regularly and trying your best.

>>234178
>and its good
and if it's good

>>234158
>Another anon saying to pick 4 throws is helpful in giving myself something concrete.
It's good advice. I would suggest picking a throw from four of the eight different kuzushi directions so that you can attempt something whether your opponent moves forward, backward, left, or right (or to the diagonals in between). If four ends up feeling overwhelming two (or even one) is still a good start, but four gives you an excellent base.
>I tend to get cramps, especially in my legs and arm when I land. Is it only a diet issue or is there more to it?
Muscle cramps are usually a diet and/or hydration issue. The old school advice would be to drink more water throughout the day, eat a banana, and perhaps have some diluted gatorade on hand for water breaks at the gym. The electrolyte beverage market seems more developed than it used to be so it might be worth looking into that if water + banana isn't doing it for you. If you're sedentary outside of class it's probably worth doing some physical training (besides your daily ukemi and uchikomi--which you are doing, right Anon?) to habituate your body to actually being used and to get a feel for what your body needs to function in a physically demanding setting.
>I'll keep showing up.
Consistency will pay off over time. Have fun with it and stay healthy and it can be a lifetime pursuit.

>>234178
I think there's a balance with this. It's good to seek to constantly improve yourself and refine your judo but it's bad to tear yourself down for not being perfect. Even Dr. Kano is only a white belt.

many instructors preach how about how they dont care about winning or losing """practice""". This is very far from
the truth. People have ranked faster from just winning practice a lot of martial arts traditions just need to die or stay in their asian countries, like """""being a mere humble martial artist""""" when in reality even skilled martial artists like musashi who never lost went out of their way to chose less skilled opponents and even showed up late to fights to fuck with them

noobie here. my adidas 500g judo gi ripped yesterday after 2 years of intermediate use training 2 times per week

if you're going to a martial arts club you're likely paying to cover the cost of being in the club vs jud going to a standalone judo school
many judo schools pair up with martial arts clubs because they cant afford to keep the doors open

bjj is just expanded upon newaza
bjj and judo are the same martial art with different rulesets snd focus.

the reality of grappling martial arts for short people below 6'0 or near 6'0 is that it's most effectivr against people the same size as you.
Being tall has it's advantage but if you were never taught proper technique you'd be like the tall woman in the second match of this vid where you just get whomped by a shorter person.

https://youtu.be/YEI8hbEcvqk?si=GCWGzw88vHaRBLAy

the only way for a short person to beat size and strength is pure technical skill and speed. If that person is lacking in both, they will of course lose. This literally applies to all grappling arts including wrestling.
Get good at ashi-waza. Literally the most important waza in judo imho

I think it's important to not conflate height with size
You get oak stump mode of the natural 5'7" 200 pounder, just a dense ball of muscle and bones
Vs someone that's 6 foot but they're all length with no mass and weight 150lbs less

The shorter guy is "bigger" overall, just not as lengthy

>>234786
It's just the whole practice is dumb as hell
Running around doing dumb calisthenics
Repping uchikomi hundreds of times
Then standing around listening while an old fat guy talks about a move and demonstrates the precise 30° angle that you step at before making a 45° twist with your foot to properly create hip alignment
And he walks around telling everybody that they are doing it wrong because it isn't exactly the same way that he did it even though his body is different from yours and his partner was different from yours

Then like 4 minutes of newaza and 2 rounds of randori. Hopefully you dont have a promotion coming up though because you'll be doing the kata in the corner instead of playing
then grab a mop and start cleaning his business because somehow it's appropriate for the customer who's paying for service to do janitorial work while the person collecting the money sits there
Maybe if you're lucky you get to spit shine his balls for him too

You've spent Maybe 20 minutes of the 90 minute class actually getting to play judo

>>234777
>>234825
you can try sambo or wrestling for a change, then return to judo with new knowledge, or just crosstrain in both. that's what i did when i got tired of IJF bullshit some years ago. and focus on building your own style according to what works for your body, don't spend so much listening to boomer professors.

>>234852
>>234825
The thing is most of those traditions that people associate with Asia (rote drilling, over-precise instruction, strict following of the teacher lack of sparring, etc.) aren't actually the tradition in Asia. Once you get past middle school in Japan, it's basically a 15 minute warmup followed by 2 hours of randori. It's only by some odd boomerism that made westerners think the """""traditional"""" way was all that bullshit.

>>234777
Sambo has less of the stereotypical Asian problems, but its got its own set of problems.

How to tell a good dojo/instructor from a bad one?
Also, how to learn Judo as an autistic zoomer with ADHD? Is it over for me?

why dont gaijin know respect???

>>234871
the lack of frequent randori and nage-komi is honestly hurting my judo.
My class is literally just drilling and then like 15 minutes of randori and then the drills we wont cover again for another 6 months wnd then we're somehow expected ti have memorized these drills.
This shit almost reminds me of the first bjj school i went to where the instructor would show you a technique once and then get pissed when you couldnt land it after one attempt.

>>234873
>Also, how to learn Judo as an autistic zoomer with ADHD? Is it over for me?
On the contrary. This is the kind of activity for which your brain is wired--you'll find it helps you get better at judo and you'll find that judo helps you manage negative symptoms. There are lots of people with ADHD and autism in martial arts (pic related, but wouldn't recommend steroids).

As an aside, ADHD and Asperger's can be very powerful personality types once you learn to manage them correctly. Use the diagnosis as information for self-improvement rather than self-defeatism and you'll eventually figure out how to have a much better time of things.

>>234873
>How to tell a good dojo/instructor from a bad one?
A sign of a good one is that their students do well at tournaments without having too many outward signs of injury. Ideally they should also put a heavy emphasis on new students learning breakfalls instead of just kind of hoping you'll pick it up but that's not something you'll know until you take your trial classes. I would highly recommend drilling your breakfalls outside of class either way, they keep you safe and therefore keep you healthy enough to train.

Okay this shit is bothering me again, I'm pretty sure I already talked about it but it was brought up again and now I feel like I'm coping.

The head sensei told me that I shouldn't do Osoto Otoshi because it's not as strong as Osoto Gari and it has always made me think and reject it. My rational for otoshi being better being:
>you're using not only their own gravity to pull them down, but also weighing them with the entirety of your own body like an anchor. You're also much more intact with Uki, like full-on hip-to-hip destruction.
>you're pulling down, not to a side and backwards, just straight the fuck down
>easier to land into a submission

This has lead me to believe Otoshi as being the superior throw in terms of raw slamming power and effectiveness for going into pins. But, my sensei is like "nah osoto gari is better lol" and it bothers me because he also doesn't like to really teach it and rather not see people use because he believes people who use it and aren't very good at osoto to begin with will worsen them technique by trying to do gari but planting the leg like otoshi.

anyways, what do you find more powerful? otoshi or gari?

>>235000
Holy shit my spelling sucks

>>235000
O-soto-gari hits harder than o-soto-otoshi, in part because uke falls further. I have actually used otoshi outside of judo for semi-gently putting people on the ground.

>>235000
>what do you find more powerful? otoshi or gari?
Gari.

>but also weighing them with the entirety of your own body like an anchor
Falling with them takes away from the slamming force.

>you're pulling down, not to a side and backwards, just straight the fuck down
Osoto gari gets somebody airborne, which makes the slam harder even if the force isn't purely downwards. You can also mess somebody's knee up with the reap.


>I feel like I'm coping
"The acceleration occurs as the uke is thrown via tai-otoshi, seoi-nage, osotogari, and ouchi-gari. These results showed that of the four throwing techniques, osoto-gari generated the greatest maximum rotational acceleration of the uke's head."

Cheapest option would be one of those strongman sandbags like the blue IronMind ones and just fill it with some sand and use that, I do that.

I am an early white belt. I've been in and out of training due to a series of bad luck (involving my heel) and constant illnesses during Spring. I am ready to try again now that I think I am fully healed up (and hoping I don't end up having more dogshit luck)
Out of curiosity, I believe my instructor taught me how to break-fall from the side and falling on my back, but I've yet to learn how to do a frontal breakfall or even to do a roll yet. Should I ask before the lesson starts? Or do I wait for the right moment where he teaches everyone?

>>237140
It won't hurt to ask. Worst case scenario he tells you to wait until he covers it in class, best case scenario you get some extra help earlier. Breakfalls, once you know what you're doing, are a good thing to drill daily on your own so getting started right away is best. There are both forward breakfalls and forward-rolling breakfalls, see the image at >>234919

am I an asshole for not letting the white belts get a submission on me while doing ne waza? there's a chimp strong white belt who managed to put me into turtle using pure strength and I went full defense mode for what felt like minutes of him trying to get hooks around my neck (high probability the only submission bro knows is RNC from MMA)

I am not good at judo but I have fun learning and talking with more experienced trainers(?). They are very nice to me and I feel as though I am doing something with my life other than just working and playing games. But I am a 30 year old man and I know my limitations but sometimes it feels as though I'm doing this out of midlife crisis. Some people are really cool actually, it's nice to know there are people I can take traits from and become 'cool' myself. But internally it's been a game changer to my mindset.

Nothing should ever be given for free
You're only doing him a disservice by giving a false positive and letting him think it worked when it really didn't

>>237404
you can just do things. not everything is a midlife crisis.

>>237140
Gotcha. Only issue is, can't practice at home. Don't have any mats.

>>237396
As a white belt, I don't mind. I like dealing with opponents that go all-out because it means I can test my limits.

>>237404
I felt the same way regarding my Quarter Life Crisis. But really Martial Arts was just something I wanted to do for years but just kept procrastinating on. Only started taking it seriously recently. Just my bad luck I get hit by the worst injuries and illnesses after my fourth week and miss out on a few months worth of Judo. GG

why is there UFC BJJ but no UFC Judo?

bait post

>>237430
The audacity they have calling it "BJJ" when it's nogi submission grappling
It's a totally home grown american rule set, it has nothing to do with Brazil in any way

is the Georgian reverse yoko wakare dangerous?
people on reddit are saying IJF should ban it

Sacrifice throws should only be able to earn a half point max

>>237428
Ah shit, I am retarded, accidentally replied to myself, meant to reply to >>237287
Also yeah, he basically told me I have to wait till he covers it in class and there's more white belts present. I got no problem with that.
My performance overall was a LOT worse since I forgot pretty much everything, only basic throw I remembered fully was Osoto Gari and I still feel I fucked it up. I'll have to catch up a lot.

>Quarter Life Crisis
Life crisis' arent a real thing as they are purely psychological and can happen to anyone at anytime. Some people never experience them. Some people do. Many people think life crisi is something that's ingrained in us. When in reality it's just a psychological response to FOMO happening at a later stage of your life.
An old man driving a corvette isnt a midlife crisis as the old man could be rich and as a kid he wanted a corvette and can afford one now. Can he still speed and be as rowdy as he was when he was a kid with it withiut risking a nasty accident.
no but that's not going to stop him from at least cruising with it and enjoying it as a weekend car. Same thing with an old man riding motorcycle. It all becomes a midlife crisis when they start doing stuff that doesnt match their age like an old man buying a motorcycle and then joining a biker gang. Stuff that is out of context for your being/character.
Example: A 60 year old man getting into martial arts and NOT wanting to be slow and cautious and doing it because they want a black belt. Because either way he is going to need to be slow and cautious and is probably gonna die depending on tjeir health before they get anywhere near their black belt

>>237532
now an old man getting into marial arts wont be a mid life crisis in the context of. They just have time to do it and need something to do and a place to spend their time.
It is a simple fact of life that some people simply cannot stand being alone

>>237459
Pointless distinction when virtually all competitors train BJJ
For better or worse, the terms are synonymous now
>>237480
Because you're sacrificing a standing position?
I think full point if you're able to secure a pin/sub immediately, other wise half point would be fair
But then you'd have a whole thing about what is and isn't a sacrifice throw and people complaining about being 'robbed'. It's probably not worth it

>>237607
I refuse to let BJJ continue to be a chameleon and retroactively take credit for all the new rules and innovations other people come up with
Otherwise kickboxing is karate

>>237624
Reducing a martial art to a set of techniques is retarded
Or does shooting a double leg make you a wrestler, not a judoka

>>237607
>But then you'd have a whole thing about what is and isn't a sacrifice throw and people complaining about being 'robbed'. It's probably not worth it
Only throws where tori stays on his feet should score a full point.

>>237532
>Life crisis' arent a real thing
>It all becomes a midlife crisis when

>>237738
There's a lot of potential for inconsistent scoring and arguments over what exactly constitutes staying on one's feet

>>237741
Have clear definitions and it should be fine. Any part of tori's body other than his feet touching the mat should hurt his score, with a possible exception for the knuckles of the hand gripping uke's gi.

>>237741
Did some part of your body other than your feet touch the ground?

blew out the ass seam of my gi pants
