Rhadi Ferguson said:I hate to say this but the fact is that you have a better chance at finding a "good to decent" Freestyle wrestling coach than you do finding a "good to decent" judo coach. Now, before you go running to sign up for lessons. Let me know where you live and I can see if there is someone in that area that I could recommend, because there are some great judo coaches out there who will respect the fact that you do BJJ and instruct you accordingly.
So hit me up at [email protected] remind me of the post and let me know where you live and I can help you out. You can give me your phone number and I'll call you back.
Take care.

it was so different to what im used to
it was only the instructor and his son at the class tonight
we went through a few single and double leg takedowns and positioning work and then we had some sparring
what was funny for me is im usually getting moaned at for using to much strength at bjj and csw and now im getting moaned at for not using enough strength at freestyle.
also pulling guard!!!
through habit everytime i saw a guillotine open i was going for it and falling onto my back and putting my hips through which is totally wrong
lol
oh well i guess it will just come with practice
