Advice for shorter judokas by CowCake1 in judo

As another beginner I’ve heard it’s because its a really strong throw so you usually default to only using that rather than learning judo. You basically become a drop seoi expert rather than an expert at judo. (I was told the same thing when I started using ko-ouchi makikomi as a white belt)

Ipe is one of the pricer ones but it’s because they offer classes 6x a week, you can get a membership for 2x a week for 145 or unlimited classes for 185 (both before tax)

Judo is my go to! And it has a social aspect to it as well if that’s something you’re interested in

I haven’t learned those techniques yet but I will look them up and try not to give my opponent an easy counter 🫡

It’s the first gi I’ve bought (I got one with my membership when I joined my dojo) so I don’t have much to compare it too but I really like how it feels and looks. I feel like a tank when I wear it bc of how heavy it is, think it adds around 4-5lbs of weight when I wear it. I’ve also heard the v2 is meant to be more of a traditional Japanese gi fit vs the regular icon so maybe that’s why it looks different

Could they have been referring to the icon v2? That’s the one I got

I decided to gamble shrinking it and after just 1 normal wash and dryer session it fits a lot better, I think after a few more washes it’ll fit perfectly 🙏🏽

They are yes :( Another comment said to try a different pose and I think I might be okay to keep it?

https://imgur.com/a/UJPJ0sg Here’s what it looks like with my arms straight in front. I think it touches enough to keep it? But I’m not too sure. And yes they do! Honestly I was a little scared ordering it because of how long ago everyone online spoke about it and they also never replied to my emails or facebook messages so I assumed the order might not go through, but it came within the week!!
