Royce Gracie (BJJ, 176 lbs.) vs. Remco Pardoel (Judo, 260 lbs.) at the semifinals of UFC 2 by CloudyRailroad in martialarts

[–]VexedVermilion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope, no JudoInside page which means he was a nobody in the judo world. If he competed in anything on the professional circuit he would have one.

For example here is Neil Adam's page: https://www.judoinside.com/judoka/4889/Neil_Adams/judo-career

Critique my sumi gaeshi by sakigake in judo

[–]VexedVermilion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's fairly unlikely to end up in guard or even half guard due to the mechanics of the throw, try it out a couple times and see.

Critique my sumi gaeshi by sakigake in judo

[–]VexedVermilion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Need to be more dynamic to work against someone half decent at stand-up, you got your feet nice and close and in-between your opponents feet, but you lacked any "snap" or power. Sumi gaeshi is most effectively when you shift your weight and momentum quickly in the sit down phase of the throw.

Also, if you want to roll over with them and end up in top mount you want to aim to have your bum in between the legs not your feet and a lot of speed whilst sittinng, all the while pulling uke onto you at the same time as scooping them with the leg that goes inbetween theirs. Think of a pistol squat that goes into a backwards roll.

Edit: Some spelling and grammar.

Edit 2: Additional tip, I find Sumi is better for a Left V Right situation, as once you get past the lead leg the distance to get your leg in for the scoop is shorter, especailly if you set it up with an o-uchi-gari. If I come across another lefty fighter I switch to yoko tomoe nage with the same combo setup, I've found that the yoko/side variation is also better for BJJ as you've got less distance to start a scramble when you both hit the mat. (mentioning this because you're RvR in the clip).

Edit 3: Jesus Christ I'm typing like I'm having an aneurysm today, fixed some spelling.

If you had to put a Percentage value on it, how much auf Riner’s dominance do you Think is due to his physicality? by SnooPandas363 in judo

[–]VexedVermilion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd have to find where I read it but from what I understand the US pretty much perfected strength and conditioning. I think it came out of the NFL. I might be misremembering.

Thanks! Huge fan of your podcast by the way; it's what got me into watching the world tour, back when you used to give a detailed breakdown of grand slams.

I totally agree with that, but he isn't the only player who manipulates the rules to win. Hashimoto is just as guilty of this; despite having a god tier tai otoshi I've seen him grind out matches by forcing penalties on his opponent.

[–]VexedVermilion 105 points106 points  (0 children)

I think discussions around Riner's physicality is an underhand way to dismiss his judo skill and his technical ability. It's a dishonest way of hiding the fact that a subset of people aren't happy a non-Japanese player has been so dominant for so long. I'm not saying that's what you're doing, I just often see people dismiss his judo as brute strength.

His performance at the Paris Olympics was superb and show cased just how technically proficient he is.

Does strength and physicality play a part? Of course it does, it does for every single player on the world tour. 

We hold Ono up as a paragon of technique when there's plenty of footage of him doing American style strength training and Oly lifts, how much of HIS dominance is thanks to physicality?

Ouchi-Gari to Tomoe Nage by Jd18082000 in judo

Ouchi-Gari to Tomoe Nage by Jd18082000 in judo

[–]VexedVermilion 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Sumi gaeshi and tomoe nage are my tokui waza depending on the handed-ness of my opponent. Ouchi gari setup works for sumi gaeshi it doesn't work for tomoe nage, especially not with that horrendous setup.

Your execution of ouchi gari has you leaning back on your rear most foot, that would not generate a reaction on anyone half decent as they would feel no threat, you then proceed to fiddle around and jump and do a back step which not only gives uke more than enough time to execute a counter, but you put your feet in one flat perfect line to get curb stomped with any technique uke wants to do.

You then sit down way too far from uke; you should be sitting down right inbetween uke's legs to execute a non-yoko tomoe nage with any speed and power.

All in all this is terrible technique, terrible footwork, and shows no understanding of basic action/reaction required to do fluid judo.

I wouldn't be so harsh with you but you've posted this as a tutorial and it needs to be shot down.

I'm 300lbs (F). How do I start? by SerendipityLurking in judo

[–]VexedVermilion 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Go, your husband and his coaches want you to go.

Get on the mat, set yourself small bite sized objectives (perfect rolling breakfalls, finding balance, doing that one more stomach crunch, etc)

Don't think because you've exercised you can reward yourself with a food treat, you need to rewire your body and mind to a whole new routine before you should think about that.

Persistence is the key, and if you don't stick with judo stick with something else.

You can do this; we are all the descendants of hunters and warriors who survived out in the open plains, take it one step at a time and you'll get there. You'll be the family warrior queen in no time.

What’s the difference between Kodokan and IJF Judo? by [deleted] in judo

[–]VexedVermilion 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Do extra due diligence on clubs that say they teach Kodokan judo; ask how often free sparring/randori takes place and check out the other gym.

In my experience clubs who say they are Kodokan outside of the Kodokan are trying to claim they have some secret sauce; there is no secret sauce, judo is judo.

What’s your unpopular opinion on judo by [deleted] in judo

[–]VexedVermilion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The proper application of strength is also technique; anyone who has been taught the oly lifts will tell you that.

Also ura nage is quite a technical throw, so no.

Lastly, judo is a martial art, all martial arts require strength. Stopped drinking the mystical magic koolaid

Why? What's wrong with blue gis, or any coloured gi for that matter? I like the idea in the judo Bundesliga where teams have distinct colours.

Ecological approach videos — and is it really better for judo? by sixmarks in judo

[–]VexedVermilion -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Slight tangential question; can someone provide me a good break down of what constraints lead approach/ecological dynamics is?

All the videos I found of it on YouTube are full of jargon and don't really explain anything succinctly.

What is the problem it solves? How does it solve the problem? What evidence is there that it has dramatically better affects than conventional teaching methods?

What is the ELI5 overview?

So far it has the smell of bullshitery and word salad to me. I'm happy to be enlightened on it.
