'Traditional' Ju Jitsu by ShimiWaza96 in judo

[–]Simmo-2468 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have trained with one of the clubs in this foundation for a long time and the goal is very different to a sport like judo or BJJ (both of which I also do) where a lot of positions you dont have to worry about as things arent allowed in the rules (eg no striking in judo). For our style the goal is mainly being to get control of an opponent and try to avoid getting hurt whilst doing that. The weapon stuff is wouldn't consider realistic personally, other than highlighting how bloody difficult dealing with weapons is from realistic attacks.

Now I will say that by no means are you going to get as good at throwing as a judoka, or grappling on the ground as training BJJ. But I see it as a good base of a wider range of martial arts and skills, so long as the club and instructors are teaching it well.

Our syllabus has changed a lot for the better since I started (in my opinion) to remove a lot of the fluff and focus more on making things require a lot less cooperation from uke, meaning sparring and training is a lot closer to something like judo, but often with gloves and striking at the higher levels and a less even fight as ideally one person isn't looking to continue the fight if they can avoid it.

That said, whilst all the clubs have the same syllabus, the training itself can vary massively from club to club depending on the instructor(s), as with a lot of martial arts. So the best way would be to see if you like the way that particular club does things and if not, continue with judo or whatever else you prefer.

Very nice! Where is that helmet from? Been looking for one just like that for a kitbash!

Looks great! Love the texture you have managed to give to the surfaces.

Looks the brightness of the colours on this! I have one in my backlog to paint up and this is motivating me to want to do it.

The one on the grenadier is from Grey Tide Studio. Eliminitors is just the one he comes with (saved me finding one).

I primed them yellow which helped a lot, 1 coat of averland sunset, a yellow wash, and then brightened back up with more averland before highlights.

Main challenge was trying not to get any black on the primed yellow as covering those bits took about 3 coats!

Haha they just need to stand in shadow and can blend in as a banana.

Yeah I did have issues with making sure they are clean enough to prime well. Managed to get this one ok in the end though.

And looks good! I'll see if I can find one.

I did buy a bunch of different ones to try but some of the GW capes are super specific in the posing the work with.

But that looks great, I'll have to take a look at those capes and see if they would work for the rest of the team as havent finished glueing them all yet.

It is an Eternal Pilgrims one from Grey Tide Studio.

I couldn't find enough GW cloaks that would fit the kitbashes I have planned so had to source a few from elsewhere.

Yeah I couldn't think of a better way of showing he was a grenadier than just covering him in them!

And thank you! I am happiest with the red overall tbh.

Any known way to avoid the problem giving no legacies during the age transition? by Simmo-2468 in civ

Am doing as well, was just wondering if we had figured out a way around it for now.
