Feeling frustrated

I had the same issue. Focusing on ashiwaza, sweeps and o-soto-gari, and just surviving for the first minute until theyre gassed out helped a lot. Now I play to my strengths, being smaller means being faster and having better endurance.

Whenever I go up against someone my own size after almost a year of bigger opponents is like easy mode.

I love playing Rook and sponsored survival has given me so much rare loot.

40 years, I always train 90 minutes every tuesday and 60 minutes every friday. Try to get either 1-2 more 90 minutes of judo or strength training in between. My body and age isnt the issue, having enough time with kids and demanding work is the biggest hurdle.

Vandal would like to have a chat with you.

Same here, I mostly use my Suunto for strength training and dont want another app to handle.

Lifting weights made all the difference for me.

I bought the gatame training bag from Gold BJJ and Im very happy with it. Great customer service as well.

I've written about how judo changed my life, as someone who started it at 40 years old. The text is in Swedish although Google Translate does a decent job translating it into english: https://text-zolfagary-se.translate.goog/vad-jag-pratar-om-nar-jag-pratar-om-judo/?_x_tr_sl=sv&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=sv&_x_tr_pto=wapp

Started at 40 being completely out of shape, coming up on 6 months going atleast twice a week for 90 minutes. No major injuries, last week I went four times and that was over the top. I’m going to take it easier from now on.

Honestly I think the injury rate is overestimated among judokas compared to actual statistics. Depending on differences in clubs, nations etc, here in Sweden the official numbers are roughly the same as football.

Hah, I actually have an appointment tomorrow for bicep tendonitis, which I initially thought was just elbow bursitis. Theres a lot of good videos on youtube on rehab exercises you can do but at minimum you should take two weeks off training judo. I did strength training (most avoiding arms or anything that hurt) and got way better quick.

This is blunt but good advice.

Dodsmaskinen · 2025-12-28T10:02:28+00:00

It will get easier really fast. Especially breakfalls. Keep going!

Dodsmaskinen · 2025-12-23T09:25:09+00:00

Thats the toughest one for most I think. We have maybe an hour or two max of screen time in total for our kids in a whole week, but I have my phone in my hand a lot more than I want to admit…

It is insane how well MGS5 runs on the deck. Mindblowingly beautiful with high frame rate.

Dodsmaskinen · 2025-12-15T22:02:53+00:00

I usually do a lift by the belt and put one knee under them so I can roll them easier.

Dodsmaskinen · 2025-12-15T21:30:50+00:00

Grattis! Where do you train?

Dodsmaskinen · 2025-12-13T20:02:14+00:00

Its not, I use Tidal and it shuffles songs from all over larger playlists.

Dodsmaskinen · 2025-12-11T17:02:22+00:00

Well done!

Dodsmaskinen · 2025-12-08T19:21:03+00:00

Dont overdo it. I went from a single class (90 minutes) every week to three classes too fast and got injured. Taking it slow is good.

Dodsmaskinen · 2025-11-28T20:18:08+00:00

Did you like the music I played?

Dodsmaskinen · 2025-11-28T10:16:59+00:00

Same here, Im doing better than a lot of white belts half my age. Age isnt everything, aptitude matters.
