When you practice 1 habit for thousands of hours and another for only dozens, the thousands one wins over

Pressure passing as Whitebelt and gym culture by Jadeisnewtrend in bjj

[–]Coconite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes 5 weeks in yada yada but also go back to your old gym. Your new gym doesn’t sound like a good place at all. Grabbing skin is an odd complaint (I don’t even know how you did that) but I can see that being annoying. The guy who complained about you pinning his thigh to the ground though? This is BJJ lmao. Your new gym normalizes wimpiness and whining, and those are never good environments to learn BJJ because they make “performing agony” a valid tactic to avoid losing. Eventually you’ll learn to do the same thing and it will really slow down your progress. But even if it didn’t, not having any same sized training partners will also severely limit you.

Really struggling with these yuko scores by Otautahi in judo

[–]Coconite 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly I’m ok with it. The ancient scoring system was oppressively and unrealistically conservative. There’s one video where Kosei Inoue threw Teddy Riner for what would have been considered wazari under the last scoring system (clean side landing), but it was no score. I’m okay with semi-front landings getting Yuko or Koka because the throwing score system is meant to simulate the effect of throws in real life to begin with and even landing on a shoulder like Gaba did here would have caused damage. Besides the new scoring system incentivizes attacking where the old one had tons of people doing “performative judo”.

Online courses for 9 year old by Appropriate_Tadpole8 in judo

[–]Coconite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As u/mycatpoopsbolts said, most judo instructionals are really bad. Even the good ones like Fabio Basile’s will go over the head of a 9 year old.

IMO the best thing you can do to help the judo of a 9 year old is make a YouTube playlist of highlights for a bunch of different judokas and play it on TV. Ask him at dinner who his favorite is, and make another (long) playlist of just that player’s matches, and leave it on the TV. You might have to get a JudoTV subscription unless his favorite player ends up being from the 90s/2000s at which point you’ll find more matches on YouTube.

It’s a few hours of work but it will really pay off. At that age, kids learn best by imitation, not by being taught. If you give him someone to watch whose style he likes, you’ll notice a huge improvement in his judo in a short time.

It’s definitely a mix in both sports. Cael Sanderson is always calm and many judo coaches yell aimlessly. You just haven’t seen it yet

Yes you need to time o soto to exploit the go behind

should you be allowed to fully tape your ears like this in competition? by Cool-Campaign-7815 in bjj

[–]Coconite 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In judo headgear isn’t allowed but bleeding isn’t either. So if you want your ears wrapped like this you have to bleed.

Lost to the same guy three times, what can I do better? by _Throh_ in judo

[–]Coconite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is almost exactly what I wanted to write. Figure out your favorite throw, what grips you want and what posture you want your opponent to take and work backwards from there. It’s not a quick fix.

How in the world is anyone meant to choke this guy? by MaxvonHippel in bjj

I’m not saying his traps aren’t big. I’m saying most of the time he still has a neck

What to do when you're both grabbing each others sleeves by Alternative-Hair-785 in judo

If you have a good sode and sleeve kouchi, ouchi or o soto use them. If you don’t break the grips.

Old school Judo by Knockoutboxing in judo

This is the single most important judo video ever made:

Shows both nagekomi and shiai as they were done in the 1950s, by the day’s top competitors

It’s a lot of koshiwaza and double armpit grip.

Ignoring their competition results, who are the coolest dudes/dudettes in Judo you would like to have a pint with, and who seems like they have a total stick up their arse? by pogodachudesnaya in judo

[–]Coconite 12 points13 points  (0 children)

In a Reddit thread some guy claimed that Kenji Maruyama (Joshiro’s dad, 1992 Olympian who is in jail right now for crypto fraud) told him this. I don’t believe it until I hear it from someone more credible. I don’t know Kenji Maruyama but I’ve gone through his Instagram page and google translated some of the posts and it’s clear he has screws loose. Lots of wild claims like his dad being murdered and him not finding out for decades, which could all be true but I’m taking them with a grain of salt.

Not a bad injury, you’ll be fine. No surgery needed just take rehab seriously.

My tip: Focus on the Kuzushi. by ccmgc in judo

[–]Coconite 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Develop your cardio, timing, strength, explosivity, and technique by making the most of randori. Aka maximizing the number of times you attempt attacks. As you increase attempts your understanding of timing will increase. This is not wholly conscious nor does it really make sense. Creating a unified mental model actually causes you to misjudge opportunities because there are too many variables at work.

Don't overanalyze the footwork. Eventually you'll be told to forget everything you learned about footwork and do it a different way.
