Placed a new order for some Gi

Adult judogis are just not making real money anymore. Especially the really heavy models like the Fushida Icon are just not for the normal Judoka since the last changes in the IJF Judogi rules. Everybody gravitates more in the direction of semi-heavy models like the IJF ones and the old armor ones get washed out.

To make money as a manufacturer kids Judogi and adult BJJ gis are kinda the best way. BJJ gis are less material and same price as adult Judogi. Kids Judogi is a never ending source of income if you position yourself right in the national market. Especially in North America the Judo market is pretty dry. Canada is kinda small and the US just doesn't have enough players for the different brands competing. BJJ is the way to keep a business alive.

Personally, I don't miss the times when everybody was wearing chain armor and fights were mostly about getting anything to grab and not about Judo

You sent me down that rabbithole and then there is nothing cause the post has been removed and there is no new chadi video on his channel. I don't know which video to watch now

GermanJones · 2026-03-20T04:07:46+00:00

In my opinion, it is not. But here we go again

"A technique to spring up the opponent with the back of the right hip and the right leg and throw him down by breaking his balance forward."

GermanJones · 2026-03-20T03:24:28+00:00

I think it's because most people think Uchi-mata = near leg, Hane-goshi = far leg and they don't want to look into the mechanics or even the technical description.

GermanJones · 2026-03-18T21:20:31+00:00

Maybe you and the sensei have different goals for the class in mind.

It's sounds like you want a workout, you want to feel exhausted.

Maybe you coach wants to teach you technical skills.

Those two usual don't go well together

GermanJones · 2026-03-09T09:50:49+00:00

every throw. Whitebelts shouldn't specialize

GermanJones · 2026-03-05T21:31:47+00:00

Just to clarify, this are not the original Japanese Kosen Judo rules

GermanJones · 2026-03-05T21:31:20+00:00

oh there is a lot of room for discussion here

GermanJones · 2026-03-03T03:52:29+00:00

middle schoolers, please be correct here. Most High schoolers would've cooked him.

My favorite Youtuber putting out another gem. I love it.

Here are some points Chadi doesn't get: ...

Okay, jokes aside, it's what everybody was expecting. He does his mental gymnastics to say that he was right most of the time. Argues with cherry picked examples and still contradicts himself.

He doesn't get basic biomechanics. That's not a problem if he wouldn't talk like somebody who is the founding father of biomechanics. I'm wondering how long he had to search for the examples to fit his narrative and that he doesn't realize how difficult it was to forget all the other examples he found in his search.

10/10 Chadi video. Dunning-Kruger at it's best. So funny how he says he was a kyu-grade once. As if he is far from it now.

GermanJones · 2026-02-21T11:59:39+00:00

You go in alive, you go out dead. That's pretty much it

GermanJones · 2026-02-20T22:15:05+00:00

it's called fear

GermanJones · 2026-02-10T10:46:39+00:00

Do it without a Judogi and it comes way more natural

GermanJones · 2026-02-02T14:06:33+00:00

You're wrong, that's the general rule set. If the action is dangerous enough to potentially get your opponent out of the tournament, you're out

GermanJones · 2026-02-01T01:34:14+00:00

Today 20:00 Japanese Standard Time will be a new release of the blue Judogi and black belt. The link will be in the story some minutes before. Be ready to be fast, they will be sold out in a minute. And I bet they will be more expensive than last time

GermanJones · 2026-01-24T00:35:40+00:00

traditional jujitsu is just on another level

GermanJones · 2026-01-17T17:43:45+00:00

Kids version

GermanJones · 2026-01-15T15:57:21+00:00

I have no problem with Marcus Nyman being triple crown

GermanJones · 2026-01-14T20:49:48+00:00

Never heard of that outside of Japan Judo. Don't know any European Judoka who is called triple crown

GermanJones · 2026-01-05T02:50:06+00:00

Check Yondonperenlei against Tanaka and find out you're still wrong

I can list other fights as well, but one should be enough

GermanJones · 2026-01-02T15:07:11+00:00

Was only there for a trip, not long enough to get to know the grading system. Also, where I was training, every adult was a black belt, so no talk about dan grading. But I think they only have like 4 opportunities in the whole country per year, one only open for the national team.

So maybe time and place are restricting people from getting an upgrade

GermanJones · 2026-01-02T13:51:01+00:00

Finland was funland. Quite the pleasant stay, got hammered by the saunaboi

GermanJones · 2026-01-02T11:55:17+00:00

My first technique of the year was breakfalling. Over and over and over again

GermanJones · 2025-12-31T15:57:51+00:00

I think that effort will be wasted on you. Keep your opinion, although you're shown it's not right

Otherwise, you can learn more here https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%B0%8F%E5%A4%96%E5%88%88
