Anyone practice judo here?

[Ogata]

Anyone tried judo and is it popular in your town?

 

[Phlog]

Did for 8 years as a kid, massively helped any sport with balance and leverage requirements.

Only one club in my town and it's built around kids.

I don't like how abstract some of the rules can get but as an art it's fucking great.

 

[Krixes]

I did it for about 6 months with my buddy Sgt. Alford for self defense training. We both broke our big toes<45>

 

[Alphaboy]

Yes, it was a college team.

It's good to hear. To me it seems like an obsecure style. The judo dojo I see seem to be in a dingy place.

Despite the MMA it seems like karate is still more popular. That being said judo has lot to offer.

Damn!

Was it night time classes or did they have morning classes as well?

i got judo tossed in a fight in school, pretty much tkod me, motherfucker got hold of my winter jacket and threw me.

during summer when it was summer break i spent entirety of my summer watching defensive wrestling techniques on youtube and lifting weights.

so 7 months later after my loss, i call him out and next break we plan to go fight, before this i go to toilet and rub olive oil on my arms and shoulder so if he grabs me it would slip (i was fighting in a wife beater)

so we start and i go with basic 1-2, he blocks the jab but the right goes through, hes dazed and tries to grab the arm but cant get a hold of becuse his grip slips away then he goes for a clinch but i move my hips away like was taught on youtube.

i manage to separate and hit him with a left and he drops.

i got shit for that throw for next 3 years becaue the airtime was impressive so i got the nickname "Air"

i still have a scar on my head from time he threw me

We both worked with this guy Mangosing who was like a real life ninja (Old, but serious badass dude). He owned his own Dojo and ran kids Karate classes, Kata, Judo etc... We started going in at 6pm twice a week for about 6 months. I broke my big toe about 4 months in. My buddy Alford broke his right at 6 months, we stopped going after that.

My third fight I fought a judo guy. I think the guy has/is borderline Olympic judo. He still competes and completely demolishes people....pretty impressive to see him wipe out absolute divisions cause he's not a huge guy. Actually became decent friends after the fight. But he judo tossed me across the cage for the duration of the fight.

Humbling experience.

As a kid, I took Judo for a short period of time back when I'd left my Isshin Ryu school after about 2 1/2 years. I thought it was OK but wanted to go back to striking so I quit & switched to Tae Kwon Do. I stayed with that for a little over two years but bailed after failing my red belt test because I didn't know my poomsae well enough. That's when I discovered boxing.
Later in life though, when I trained in Kajukenbo Kempo there's a fair amount of Judo in its curriculum but by then my knee was bothering me so I did the bare minimum to get by & progress in belt levels.

 

[DaleBoca]

Just capoeira.

 

[Deleted member 449757]

15+ years, actually. It is not particularly popular here, but the amount of judoka is rather stable.

 

[Thai Otoshi]

I do it off and on. I love it, but schedules, family obligations, etc. always get in the way.

I think Judo is second to soccer in terms of actual practitioners/players.

I'm more of a no-touch martial arts guy. I'd show you but it's lethal. I can't even UFC cuz of it.

Spoiler

JK I did Judo for a few years while I was in college.

 

[Osculater]

I do Judo at the moment and at bjj I'm known as the judo guy lol. Judo seems popular with the kids but not with the adults for what I have seen.

Did the judo training come handy when dealing with boxing clinch fatigue?

I notice that boxing clinch would fatigue me like crazy but with judo/sambo there is a sense comfort of not needing to push or shove and it's less foreign being clinched.

Just capoeira.

Oddly enough this style was so much more popular than Gracie jujitsu. Specially in early 2000s.

I heard this before but I just don't feel it being very popular.

Forgot to add that most judo gyms are in colleges. I wasn't even a student of the university where I trained and I was already 27 years old when I started.

You need to learn judo as a kid. Judo hurts when you're an adult where kids love to do cartwheels, rolls, basically falling all over the place. They're like cats that don't get hurt easily like adults.

Are you in France?

Japan?

It did teach me to sink my base during clinches which worked well & it gave me better leverage than my opponents.
