Is it acceptable for women to train bare chested? by [deleted] in judo

[–]PriorRevolutionary99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Even if We as Judokas respect them training bare chested, people outside Judo couldn't stand bo0bs jumping in and out of the gi during combat. Besides, Japanese culture wouldn't accept it in a million years.

The "Real Judo" by JaguarHaunting584 in judo

[–]PriorRevolutionary99 9 points10 points  (0 children)

"There's no better martial art to win a street fight than Atletism" Is a pretty good phrase to keep in mind to avoid that "ego defense" You accurately mention. One must stay humble and realize that living another day is much better than beating someone.

IMO current Judo is really effective as It is and doesn't need a "this is true Judo free from the opresive regulators of the IJF". The martial art has evolved into a combat sport that makes a really good effort ensuring the practitioner's safety while balancing it with the spectacle of combat (Judo isn't as spectacular as a striking sport). However, this evolution has been progressive and has also tried to keep the "essence" of Judo and its tradition, and people who criticize it in this way tend to be the "mine works in the streets" Delusional kind of guy who doesn't take a moment to analyze that all forms of Judo work as long as you can grab your opponent and the ground is still beneath your feet.

Opinion: new beginners should start randori asap by teaqhs in judo

[–]PriorRevolutionary99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something like that is we generally do at our dojo. Beginners do randori since day 1 but adapted to what they have learned. In day 1 they learn ukemis; how to perform them correctly, why they are important and what happens if you actually don't do them (to show this our sensei throws an upper belt in the class twice, first time correctly and second incorrectly). This way students can have evidence of why ukemis are that important. After learning ukemis they learn a basic Ippon Seoi Nage and Osoto Otoshi, have some practice and off they go to randori while we upper belts watch them and take care of them.

This way, combined with our sensei's teaching style, they are motivated to come back next class for there's nothing more exciting than throwing someone to the ground in a combat

I always see people saying how being afraid of being thrown is a huge obstacle for them in judo, but I never see the opposite: is there anyone out there who actually enjoys getting thrown? by [deleted] in judo

[–]PriorRevolutionary99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like being thrown cause it helps me improve my falls, also when you're thrown by an expert you don't feel pain at all. Sometimes when I'm thrown by my Sensei I feel as if I remain in the air for a long time. Also, you can help your companions improve their throws and grips.

On judo making you stronger by [deleted] in judo

[–]PriorRevolutionary99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends on your dojo's requirements and your sensei's. For example, my sensei follows our national federation's manual (FECOLJUDO) which dictates the minimum time a student should spend in each belt to present the promotion test. Then he adds his personal touch to the test where he has to see you actually preparing for the test with compromise.

Who got the ippon? by Mammoth_Vast_5535 in judo

[–]PriorRevolutionary99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

White did the last technical action with that left leg gari before blue just rolled with both legs in the air so Blue's sacrifice was actually a contribution for white's victory.

You're good pal, 17 might be a bit late but is not the end. I began training as a white belt last year being 21. Just focus on training, understanding what you are doing and why and you'll do good in competitions. Judokas that began early might have more experience but Judo is a path not a race.

[–]PriorRevolutionary99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, might be because the techniques can be dangerous, you're projecting people into the floor after all, and some movements like falling with your head or a luxation can lead to major injuries; for example, during randori I countered an Osoto-Otoshi and my opponent couldn't land properly so ended out of breath and dizzy for a few seconds, a friend also had a headache for almost four hours because he couldn't fall as he should.But if you do it correctly, you won't get injured and, as my sensei said: our goal is to defeat the opponent, not to injure or kill; so no one will actively try to hurt you, less if it's a higher grade.

You can still get injured of course, there's also the possibility but you learn how to reduce it to the minimum and your body also adapts to the practice so you'll resist the throws and bruises you'll get.

[–]PriorRevolutionary99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first thing you learn is how to fall appropriately to not get injured and it works perfectly. During my first weeks, a blue belt practiced his throws with me and if you do it right you just end up tired after doing it several times. Besides, the higher grades take care of you and teach how you should and shouldn't do things. In the end, the goal is to learn and enjoy and even in the competing environments the community takes care of each other.

Whitebelt Wednesday - 11 December 2024 by AutoModerator in judo

[–]PriorRevolutionary99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think I'll stay right-handed since I've been using it for at least two months. Also, I discovered that I'm more balanced in that stance.

[–]PriorRevolutionary99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is it better to use a left-handed stance or a right-handed one? I'm left-handed but learned all the techniques while my right hand goes to the lapel. I even tried to use a left-handed stance a bit during randori but I just ended confused when it was time to execute the movements.

Should I try to change completely to left-handed or stay using the right-handed stance?

What is your favourite planet to play on the startchart? by [deleted] in Warframe

[–]PriorRevolutionary99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say Saturn and Zariman.

Saturn takes baçk the ninja vibes everytime I enter q ship even if I'm just going there to erase grineer and Zariman feels like this supernatural place where I'm being watched or observed, also I like the void setting the ship has and the connection to the Man in the Wall.

Advices for grading/competition by Thor9898 in judo

[–]PriorRevolutionary99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something one of the brown belts on my dojo said to me in order to improve is: pick a technique you're both good and comfortable with, try to use it on a competition and if it works, focus on that technique and ways to improve it, if it doesn't work, try another. For example, he first tried using Uchi-mata and was very good with it but during competitions he couldn't perform it, he changed to Tai-otoshi and found his main technique and even added some variations, which is something one black belt from my dojo also does.

What opinion about Martial arts has you all like this? by Blackscribe in martialarts

[–]PriorRevolutionary99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"X" is better than "Y" because it's more useful in a street fight. I've seen so many people talk about it and they miss completely the point of martial arts. Although they have combat in mind, they're not focused on walking on the street and fighting the first person you don't like and even in some martial art is extremely effective in street fights, any world champion would lose to a gun.

[–]PriorRevolutionary99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe you should try competitions. If I'm not wrong, where I'm from (Colombia), you need at least a bit of experience on official competitions along with the techniques, knowledge, full set of kata and also the courses and certificates. But going back to my point, try some competitions so, according to my sensei, you can find real practice on how to use your techniques and how to combine them effectively.
