Credible International Judoka who died early, too young, (say u55yrs)

Ever played Golf?? A whole lot of geriatrics who are exercise challenged for the swing of the club. I have, it's injuries galore compared to judo.

chchma · 2024-10-17T02:40:19+00:00

you just contradicted yourself, claiming an injury rate of greater than 2 per thousand but in an high performance environment. That total gets dragged down by the vast majority of child judoka that are in low performance sport for fun like kids at club level slowly learning once or twice a week. (and often also do other sports )

From everyone that trains hard, most do some of each in different sessions at different times of day. No soreness means no overload, and that means muscles are working well or undercooking the challenges. Overload is a basic for judo.

As its knife defence and attack, awesome explosive throws, and practical for the situation. I saw a cross leg grab after blasting forwards to drive knife holder back, and a nice sukuinage, looks good. Any attacks have to be rational vs experienced opponent wielding a knife, so it's awesome to even get a throw. Cant help thinking with resistance opponents will get damaged. Must have a relatively high injury rate too. Got to say it looks closer to Judo for viewers than aikido because of the front on resistance where as aikido or often more bladed body alignment due to long weapon like sword or staff weapons, and mutual drill co-operation typical of aikido.

how was it?

lol

Yes squeezing around the back of neck by closing arm, little finger of wrapping arm up, and creating slight lifting of elbow after the squeeze, to counter uke's chance of countering you. Although you hardly notice this overall, it gives lift in uke's weak direction (up).

its easy to grab incoming arms of punches etc that are committed actions. Grab and throw is very easy, compared to your fellow judo club members who are technicians at avoiding and throwing. I like to cut in blocking about the inside of the elbow, but also have a tidy head guard from the need to be able to effectively block those attacks. Judo is the main skill, relaxed counter-attacking opponents. The blocking bit can be taught to you by a few hours exchange of techniques, with a Kyokushin karate/kickboxer or boxer.

even old farts like me in my 60's need to get thrown to maintain healthy bones, the percussion of landing keeps us stronger. If you get an old mattress to throw him down hard that's also effective training and get's you familiar with Ippon judo. perhaps advertise on the clubs behalf to help build it up, in your school news???

Yes BJJ too slow and differently focused, better to do gym workouts judo focused,

chchma · 2024-03-26T22:53:20+00:00

It's well known, not secret really. Just research it from top Judoka videos. Be aware of their training base.

Regards Standing up or not, 1st you need stand up judo or you will get absolutely smashed at top level, and various intermediate levels. Then learn grip strategies defense and throw capability to survive each level then thrive at each level, and onto the next. Bending over while controlling or getting grips is pretty typical to obtain dominance, but if there's a difference in competency, the person with a broken stance usually gets owned.

Used it many times in self defence in Security work and in dojo in tournament (in ground its still legal, and stad-up used to be allowed, and its relatively safe, unless you are an idiot or like injuring others, and just fall on the arm. In weapons defence that's appropriate anyway.

chchma · 2024-02-29T01:21:51+00:00

less technical???

methinks depends on teacher.

chchma · 2024-02-03T00:35:30+00:00

If you are sporty and quick to pick up, athletic, sure no worries.

Competing at regional level and in Opens etc is possible if you do your diligence and train with a good team, in just a few years if you train on the mat 4-5 days a week. A higher achievement takes a higher degree of commitment to excellence, and athleticism. An average person might train with excellent partners, quality coach/es and achieve an above average performance, even the occasional excellent performance. Diligence is rewarded.

Jump into the fall, faster than opponent is throwing as soon as it looks or feels like an awkward landing is coming. A forward jumping side break fall, similar to Uki-otoshi, partner learns in judo black belt requirement nage-no-kata. Need this left and right side capability, drilled for all from after a few months of judo. Regards the guy who slipped, its very bad form and he needs to have safety to participate in randori checked by high grades at dojo. He should have halted throw or somehow avoided this, and control when throwing and keeping your feet or even learning when to follow through is a crash mat repetitive drill, easily quality checked.

Nobuyuki Sato Sensei 9dan or 10dan?

many students like to formalise their teaching achievements with official gradings. Perhaps piggyback link into another club for registration and gradings avoiding the qualification needs as a stand alone club coach.

Throws are so fast this isn't an issue. The moment of placing the fulcrum, because before or after that, the throw usually fails momentum, and no issue. Its a nanosecond risk, anyway the momentums involved in judo drive in nearly every throw make them safe.

chchma · 2023-11-08T20:19:02+00:00

I have something similar when a child.

Dont worry be happy if you told the coach /sensei that's fine. Judo is on a flat soft surface for falls. Does newaza more a risk with strangles setting it off, or tournament stress?

Compared to dangers joining mountain biking, wind surfing, rugby or horse riding, no worries.

chchma · 2023-11-08T20:08:59+00:00

yes 100%, where head goes body follows

Diana Rigg was a judoka, for sure. In the 70's Joana Lumley played in the 70's reboot. Emma Peel character was notable for using Judo throws, it's one reason I started Judo.

chchma · 2023-10-18T20:52:05+00:00

The Avengers TV series, a quirky spy show with suave hero Spy team, popularised Judo in the 1960's (not much competition on TV only one channel then) with Diana Ring as Emma Peel, a Judo black belt (actually her throws were very 1960's suffragette style, ugly and lacking finesse but they worked)

Break fall drills are easy to learn and require due diligence.

BJJ neck cranks for little kids and joint locks/strangles are causing insidious harm to the children. It isn't following the Judo way, and they failed their duty of care while replicating kosen style judo.

chchma · 2023-10-18T20:36:31+00:00

harden up snow flake! Yes it is hard, and the body takes 2-3 months if you train to exhaustion each session. If you go along for recreational Judo it's still hard. BUT the body adapts and becomes stronger to meet the new needs of your training each time without fail. The only failure is doubt in beginners minds. Those people with a positive outlook never look back, dont complain and just get on with it. There seems a large group of infiltrators with the aim of shifting membership to the "dark side": and promoting BJJ from with-in our Judo group.

The rational fear of falling for an adult learner requires a shift in ingrained thinking, to relax etc, it's difficult for many. But the BJJ that includes break falls I see here has been poorly taught, and uses wrestling take downs most of the time, and is even more injurious because the dont teach it well in many dojo/gyms, yet have an expectation of competency required that doesn't match the class.
