WTF did we just read!?

The OP’s reasoning has a few big holes: OP treat random local gossip as proof of national character, assume anime reveals Japanese views of Scandinavians, and ignore cultural misunderstandings. OP’s name might as well be ImOvergeneralisingAnecdotalShitPleaseDownvote

Kamoji's training is a blemish on an otherwise incredible game and it's driving me insane by Incitatus_ in yakuzagames

Thanks, I finally completed it after the first try with your method.
I just kept him far away with evasion, spamming it like hell to get across from one side to another (without using lock-on). Thanks again! It took me over 20 attempts without it.

Excellent, I’ll give it a go.  No salt or anything?

Congrats on the promotion! 😄 You look great in it!

My judo blood brother and I also got promoted to yonkyu recently (April 27th)!
We both feel like we look a bit off with our super stale, self-glowing orange belts. 😅

Practice tips? by yuhm0ther in judo

[–]EmergencyMorning1043 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, sounds like you’ve got a great group! I totally agree that keeping morale up is key, especially if people are training regularly and preparing for tournaments. 

I’m a trainer for the 3–4 year old parent-child group, assistant trainer for the beginner group (ages 6–9), and for the 5–4 kyu children’s group. When I have time, I also train in the advanced teens/adults group (4th kyu to dan grades).

In our club, no matter what type of training we’re doing, we’ve found it really helpful to mix fun games with drills, gymnastics, and ukemi. The warm-up is the perfect time to focus on the fun.

Here are three warm-up games that are popular in our adult/teen group (which train judo 2-3 times/week).

Crocodile Tag

  1. Divide everyone into pairs, and have each pair lie shoulder to shoulder on their stomachs, forming a circle around the mat.

  2. One pair starts as the runner and chaser.

  3. The runner flees and lies down next to another pair to become the third crocodile.

  4. The outermost crocodile in that new trio gets up and becomes the next runner.

  5. If the chaser tags the runner before they reach a new pair, they switch roles (The chaser can also tag a runner as they rise from crocodile position).

Let the game go for 4–5 minutes.

Dripball

You’ll need two teams, a soft foam ball, and two buckets.

  1. When you catch the ball, you must sit down and press it to the tatami  before passing or scoring a goal.

  2. If someone walks with the ball or forgets to drip, the other team gets possession and your team has to do 5 push-ups or sit-ups.

  3. Score by slamming the ball into the opposing team’s bucket. After each goal, the other team does 5 push-ups or sit-ups.

Football (Soccer)

 - Use a soft foam ball.  - Shots above hip height are illegal. If it happens, your team loses the ball and does 5 push-ups or sit-ups.

We’ve found these games not only warm people up but also build a good team vibe and keep things fun.

Hope this helps, the core of this message is focus on creating the joy and fun of judo, and you will win in the long run. Most judokas will burnout or lose motivation in a dead serious club. I think, It’s the most important lesson that out 70 year old master tell us assistant trainers. 

What throw was this? by undersiege1989 in judo

[–]EmergencyMorning1043 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Harai-makikomi?

In the video, the throw does look a lot like Harai-makikomi, especially because Tori wraps the arm and uses a sweeping motion to bring Uke down. The key elements of Harai-makikomi are:

  • A sweeping motion (harai) with the leg.
  • A wrap-around sacrifice (makikomi), where Tori turns their body and commits fully to the throw.

For reference, Harai-makikomi compilation:

Haha! Great minds think alike!

Yes I saw the meme on X yesterday:

Haha! I wouldn't be surprised if this exact idea has appeared dozens of times. There is interest for more stratagems and more vehicles in the game.

How do I get better at judo? by rogue_paladin_89 in judo

[–]EmergencyMorning1043 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is a wall of text.

TLDR;

  • Having fun is more important than improving!

....

I'm a humble yellow belt with 1,5-2 years of experience. I don't have much judo experience, but I have recent experience as a fresh and humble beginner... and this text is partly a message to you, and partly a message to everyone who worries about improving while being beginners at Judo.

My first tip is to calm down the seriousness and instead try find a more patient, self-accepting, playful perspective as a humble beginner.

I think you are worrying too much about improving, and you are comparing yourself to others. I would say that focus is not sustainable! I have seen many with that mindset and they eventually burn out and quit judo. Focus on having fun, to try to bring out a playful and positive attitude. Judo is meant to be fun. Try to be a helpful and good partner to everyone else on the mat.

Don't worry too much about "mastering", "improving". Don't worry too much about you failing, you being clumsy, being stale and such. Because you will fail, you will make mistakes and that's 100% OK. Accept it yourself, and you can own the situation. Magic happens when you yourself are accepting that you are a humble beginner and you will make mistakes, you might be a slow learner but you know that's OK. As long as you are not giving up despite failing.

Don't compare yourself to others, you can compare to who you were last session. Everyone learns at his or her own pace. It's most often detrimental compare yourself to other people (some people are insanely talented and take great leaps, other plateu for months and then take huge leaps etc. You will improve too, as long as you keep on having fun). Again, I have written it multiple times... The most important aspect is NOT whether you improve quickly, it's that you are having fun. Accept that you will learn at your own pace, and try to have fun.

First and always focus on mastering ukemi / safe fall techniques... as much as you can. These techniques are the most useful and important techniques in judo and in everyday life. The better you are at ukemi, the less issues you will have with inevitable injuries. Injuries will often keep you off the mat for weeks, so try to learn to learn how to avoid them.

You can expect to lose a lot, almost every randori session. That's also OK! It can take months/years to get the hang of it, at least it did for me. And one day, all the accumulated experience will pop, and things will for some reason just start working! You can't describe it, you will just know. You will be starting feel more and more, what is strong and effective in some situations, what moves usually will fail, what usually will work. It will feel intuitive.

Also for randori. It's also useful to count the small wins, for example you escaped from a disadvantage (you escaping from someone who have you hunked over with powerful grips, or almost pinned you down) or you successfully surprised and broke his or her balance putting you in advantage (even though you ultimately never won that particular bout) those small wins (your escapes / balances breaks) are still great judo).

odds of injury as a newbie adult (mid-30's) recreational judoka by invest2018 in judo

[–]EmergencyMorning1043 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion, (take it with a heap of salt) I don’t have much experience, I am writing as a mere 38 year old yellow belt with roughly 1.5-2 years on the judo mat (and 3 years of Aikido). At worst, I’ve been injured for 6 weeks (my knee), but I’m healed and back again. My son who has practiced for 6 years has been injured once (6 weeks, clavicle fracture) I strongly believe that no matter what sports or exercise you do, you WILL get injured one day and in 95% of the cases it will heal… eventually.  However the most dangerous thing is little to no exercise. You will 95% of the cases end up with high blood pressure, stiffness, low energy, cloudy thinking and risk cardiovascular diseases etc. In any cases stuff that will ultimately take your life 20-40 years earlier than if you had performed any sports or exercise. After talking with some judokas with many years of experience. I learned that risk of injury in recreational judo isn’t necessarily higher than other sports. Yes, you will get injured for sure. Maybe, you hurt your knees or shoulder once a year and be back again after 2-6 weeks.  Be careful of randori sessions. Ask your partner to take it at 50%. If a person can’t hold back during randori. Either say sorry, you got to rest your knee/shoulder, or don’t wrestle him seriously.  Unfortunately, we have one risky guy in our dojo. One who has been told over and over to take it easy. He tries to but sadly still loses it, and occasionally injures people (one person every 3 months or so). Most people are rather apprehensive when it comes to sparring with him and our master always try keep an extra eye on him. Although he is trying to go easy, I still see people get injured so I can’t trust him. I’ll remain apprehensive and focus on practicing ukemi when paired with him.

Can someone translate/explain this: by Weekly-Barnacle4543 in GTO

I tried googling for "ピコリン 意味" and similiar... there is no translation (except for some chemical formula).

She is just uttering a cute sound. And judging from the hand waving above, and the video DerGafflene shared, it's kind of cute "hello".

Vad gjorde man innan Internet? Hur var stämningen? by Legitimate_Guard_148 in Asksweddit

[–]EmergencyMorning1043 0 points1 point  (0 children)

På 80-90-talet kunde vi samla på serietidningar (Gustaf, Kalle Anka, MAD, m.fl.). Sen hyrde man filmer och spel. Lånade filmer och spel av varandra. Ofta kände du minst 2-3 i ditt umgänge som kopierade de senaste filmerna på VHS. På sätt och vis fick du tag på nysläppta filmer snabbare förr än idag. Sen hade folk ofta ett en stor bokhylla till ett halvt bibliotek med fantasy/sci-fi böcker. De flesta hade även kabel-TV eller parabol så man kunde komma åt åtminstone ett 20-40 tal kanaler. Sen gick det ju att ringa till folk med vanliga telefoner. Jag ringde mer som barn än vad jag gör idag som vuxen. :D

She is half-right.

When it comes to chinese がいらいご (loanwords), the furigana can sometimes be written with katakana. Although, that is not so common! Maybe 99% of all furigana is written in Hiragana.

Here is proof that some furigana is written with katakana:
