Official Judo Thread VIII

What's the verdict on Garbi? I think she's hot because she is a BEAST of a Judoka, but i'm pretty sure she's not into guys.
 
I can never get it like that.

I feel stiff as hell in randori nowadays. Just can't get back into tachiwaza

If it makes you feel better I couldn't throw an athletic 27 yo ex H.S. wrestler. He kept his hips far and stiff armed like crazy. Just waited for me to turn in and he would take me down into my guard.

I don't mind it since I need more training like that being a newb at BJJ and competing in the blue belt division.

I hate people like that.

I've got my first bjj comp soon and I'm not sure if I'll be entering as a blue or white, as I understand it a black belt in judo has to enter as blue under ibjjf rules but I don't think its ibjjf.

Tbh I think the coach likes people to compete at White before they get blues as most of the new blues recently competed but the White belts can't do a thing to me so I'd rather test myself.

your not allowed as a judo black belt to compete at white or blue belt unless you have cleared it with the event organisers. If your BJJ coach wants you to compete in a BJJ competition being judo BB he should give you a BJJ blue belt. what event are you planning to enter?

You've just totally confused me there ha. How could I not be allowed to compete at White or blue?

I've got no idea, it's a local one that a few of the bjj gyms in the area host. Nothing big.
 
....aaaaaaand I'm back to just judo. All my BJJ days conflict with my two judo clubs' hours. So... halfass both, or focus on one? I chose to focus on judo. It's more fun anyway.

Also, I'm really... REALLY liking my eri seoi nage right now. That under the arm pocket grip is money.

Its a IBJJF rule that no Judo BB can compete at white belt. there was one that was disqualified from the euros this week. They are also not allowed to compete at blue because they do not hold a blue belt. The done thing used to be that judo BB competed at blue before this rule came in. If your event has nothing to do with IBJJF and aren't following their rules then you probably wont get disqualified if you compete at white. but then there's no glory in winning at white belt as a judo BB, if I was you id compete at blue.
 
im surprised your coach wants you to compete at white, your newaza must suck :wink:
 
I haven't actually said I'm a judo BB, he just knows I do a lot of judo.

And he also doesn't know that I'm competing, I just know that there's one sometime fairly soon as a few of them were talking about it.

As I've said, i can comfortably hold my own with all but two of the blues and one of them is a lot heavier than I am, the other is a four stripe and tbh I think he'll get his purple soon as I struggle with him more than most of the purples.

I'd planned on asking my coach about it anyway over the next couple of weeks.

But yeah as I've said, I'd prefer to compete at blue.

yeah, you'd be better of at blue. if I was you id speak to the coach. if its some interclub thing im sure no one will give a shit. good luck.
 
A judo bb who understands the rules of BJJ competition is already at blue belt level, IMO.

Tell that to my last coach. He wanted me to stay a white belt for a year and a half, even though I was tapping his current crop of blues except the ones getting ready for purple.

I swear he did it just to get me to grab a gold medal in a competition, he was gloating about how I was a Judo BB....Way to ruin my surprise!

Focus on one young grasshopper! Seriously, waiting until I was proficient as a stand up grappler has made my transition to bjj so much easier. I've already proven myself through the hard part, now I just have to get gooder off my back. Easy as cake!

Nice. My son is 7 months old, I'm not sure my wife believes me when I say I'll start taking him to BJJ as a 5 year old.
 
you know what sucks ass? i'm a two stripe white belt that's done 9 years of judo, so i HAVE to do advanced nogi. i would get paul harris-ed.

Definitely.

The possibility of me going back to BJJ at all is up in the air. MAYBE after I get shodan.
