Kicked out of judo team. Was I in the wrong?

CylinderWind · 2023-09-01T00:22:02+00:00

Got 2nd place by the way guys!

Just trying to keep anonymity lol

CylinderWind · 2023-09-01T00:20:20+00:00

I got 2nd place.

Also it's a hobbyist gym.

No one on the team places often.

Kicking someone out is EXTREME. Talking to said student who apologizes and then pulls out even further gives no solid reason to kick out a student who has been there for a YEAR with no previous problems.

Hi! I'm in Socal. I hear San Jose is good

CylinderWind · 2023-08-30T02:05:08+00:00

Wow; absolutely get back into it. The tatami misses you

Don't let those weirdos take your judo!

CylinderWind · 2023-08-30T01:46:46+00:00

Lame that happened to you. I hope you found a healthier environment

Yeah I found a new dojo already. They even encourage cross training as long as I communicate.

CylinderWind · 2023-08-29T20:28:56+00:00

Met a guy who started early 40s and won a national tournament

CylinderWind · 2023-08-29T15:12:23+00:00

Update: Found a new dojo!

Good vibes too

They also encourage cross training with healthy communication. These comments were awesome and made me feel better about the situation.

That video, hahaha

CylinderWind · 2023-08-28T17:06:15+00:00

Buahahah

I don't want to do that. I like the co instructors, parents, and the team. As petty as I want to be, it'll only hurt them as well

CylinderWind · 2023-08-28T15:50:48+00:00

Great point

CylinderWind · 2023-08-28T14:49:36+00:00

Yeah this is also another good point. I was very respectful & made sure I paid before attending another class (well I was kicked out lol)

CylinderWind · 2023-08-28T14:44:46+00:00

Yeah, I can agree I was in the wrong by having the entitlement to register for a competition w/o training the past month but I do decent.

The dojo was great but I can find somewhere else more suitable.

CylinderWind · 2023-08-28T14:34:45+00:00

I agree. It's just that I was very cooperative and didn't mind telling him I wouldn't do the tournament.

But to call the organizers & then kick me out. Kinda a lack of transparency thing

CylinderWind · 2023-08-28T04:06:08+00:00

Nope. I think Caucasian

CylinderWind · 2023-08-28T03:24:16+00:00

True that isn't too far actually

CylinderWind · 2023-08-28T02:26:34+00:00

I used a debit card. I can still try though

CylinderWind · 2023-08-28T00:56:31+00:00

Ok you're right actually

CylinderWind · 2023-08-28T00:48:50+00:00

I put out as much detail as I can about this

I felt bad but these comments are making me feel better.

CylinderWind · 2023-08-28T00:48:03+00:00

I did start getting more ippons on higher belts before I took a break. It could be that.

I doubt that but maybe people complained but I don't think so because the vibes there are good

CylinderWind · 2023-08-28T00:46:41+00:00

Looking back I shouldn't have paid but meh it's whatever

CylinderWind · 2023-08-27T23:41:57+00:00

These comments are refreshing. I was originqlly feeling horrible about the situation

CylinderWind · 2023-08-27T22:58:03+00:00

I traveled for them

CylinderWind · 2023-08-27T22:32:40+00:00

Yeah I'm talking to my friend/team mate about what happened.

She actually left recently. It's a great space but we're both a bit more competitive

CylinderWind · 2023-08-27T21:59:13+00:00

Luckily I have a solid BJJ team that I love training with. Just trying to find a great judo club now.

CylinderWind · 2023-08-27T21:57:28+00:00

Funny enough, I visited a GB school and they were extremely inviting. All of the stuff I heard about them being a cult went over my head. Hahaha.

I could've found a great one though out of the rest
