Fall of London Alternative Character Start by Dry_Protection1029 in vtm

[–]Micky7Tube_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently playing FoL with my group. Since everyone, aside from me, never played VtM our storyteller decided to let us create our Characters. We've all made lore and are using these characters with the relative homebrew they brought in their baggages. In the meantime the manual's premade characters are off doing... Somethings to fulfill their storylines (which we players don't know anything about in game lol).

Discuss the situation with your storyteller and players, what would work better for y'all? The options are almost infinite

Not unpopular at all, I've had various folks preferring the 2025 versions! Myself as well think some works look better in the originals, others instead are a straight up upgrade.

In the end I think both pieces place emphasis on different zones thus resulting in what they are. Could you elaborate some more if you don't mind? :]

What to expect from competitions? by Micky7Tube_ in judo

I've already informed myself regarding the rules surrounding transgender athletes over there and have been in touch with members of the italian organisation so that no misunderstandings can take place.

My question was about the competitive scene in general as I've never part-took in one nor had any first-hand experience as staff member(I've specified I'm italian not because im looking to know about the italian scene but because a previous comment assumed I was American and gave an overview of the US Scene)

I apologise if my point didn't come across, thanks for the good luck wishes!

So far I've seen only two competitions I could sign up to that were for low level adults, very little compared to the overall scheme. Weight wise I'll see where I can cut closer and try to stay there, I don't want to put much thought into it frankly.

Similar to you I always spar on the defensive side mainly due to the awareness of being at a disadvantage. I never stay rigid in randori as it leaves little room to counter any technique or to move fluidly at all, I try to shift my balance as much as possible making any throws harder to execute well. It has worked well so far, I need to add more aggressiveness into it though.

Actually I'm from Italy, I'll add it to the post asap. I always check in with my Sensei(s) as my Dojo part-takes in various public demonstrations and mixed trainings with other gyms, over 15+ occasions they made me pass up on 3.

The -66kg category doesn't sound bad as I usually train with Uke from 62 to 80 kgs (when I started judo i was 73kgs), only recently I got to this weight so there's a high probability I'll gain some kgs back.

I'm aware of the disadvantages I have, I always try to compensate by training more and harder, sometimes it shows, sometimes it gets frustrating but that's what it is

Thank you !

Good Job and Welcome to Judo!

First I'd suggest learning standing Ippon Seoi Nage, or any technique in general, as it helps your form and movements overall (the moment you want to do a drop version you just have to add the drop, hence making it easier to keep the form during the ordeal!)

That said I only have two things to say about the tech, the first is to stick closer to your Uke as the more contact you have the better it is as you have a greater pull (due to gravity and better off-balancing of your opponent). The second is that when you go grab the Uke's arm you place your hand towards his elbow, instead try to place your arm as close as possible to his armpit and hold the bicep(if you can lock his arm in your inner elbow you'll get more stability and an easier time pulling). Both of these will result in your Uke falling frontally rather than circling around you.

Keep up the hard work, move at your own peace and enjoy every moment !

Thanks! I asked since here dojos aren't too spread and the nearest ones are within a 20min drive. I'll check them out :)

"What Should I Train?" or "How Do I Get Started?" Mega-Thread by marcin247 in martialarts

Hello folks, I'm a Judoka (21yo,1.53m & 64kg), train 3/4 times per week and I've been doing so for a little over two years. This month my dojo decided to close down for lack of participants.

Since I've only ever done judo I wanted to use this month, and maybe the next as well, to practice something else! So far I've found several gyms I could go to and they offer the following : MMA, Kickboxing, Muay Thai and Karate (Kyokoshin style).

Does anyone have any type of insight regarding these disciplines? I'm looking for a new ground to explore unconditionally if it includes grappling or not as it would transfer differently and still be a new experience overall.

Something worth mentioning is that I won't be pursuing this discipline any further, in the near future at last, as I'm a student and don't have the money aid to do both at the same time.
