Official Judo Thread VIII

Ya no kidding!

I'm 5'4, how am I supposed to Osoto a guy that is 6'2!

At least if a brawl was to happen, I had 3 heavy weight grapplers, a las that is a killer in nogi, and a BJJ Black belt who is also a CSW instructor.

Glad I didn't have to Han Solo a mofo!

Kimura Masahiko was 4'11", weighed only 90lbs and Osoto Gari'd Helio Gracie who was 6'9" 350lbs.
 
Mexico...you brave soul. I'm a native Californian before moving to England. Tijuana used to be fun until the cartel came along.

Yeah...
The feeling when you pick up the morning newspaper and it says thy just found 40 cut off heads on the highway to Guadalajara...

I'm hesitant to put this here. I'm sure I'll have thousands of know-it-alls tell me how bad this is but, this is for my students, and if it helps them with their testing then it's all worth it.

I hope some of you can gain something from this.

Constructive criticism is always welcomed, but criticism just to be an ass... kindly keep it to yourself. Thanks for watching.

So this question might be highly insulting if I'm off base, but I don't mean any disrespect.

Do you teach some techniques, not for their applicability, but because they develop certain attributes?

For example, your Kesa Escape number 2 in my opinion wouldn't work at all on someone holding Kesa correctly, so are you teaching it so that people are aware of it when holding Kesa on someone else?

Also, Ippon Seoinagi is probably one of the top most frightening throws. Why teach it at the beginning? Is it a weed-out tool or a conditioning tool?

Hey, I started Judo in Va Beach at Kempsville Rec with David Kennedy. He probably knows you. It was an okay club, my real training happened when I met Ari at Hybrid Training Center, now USA Stars East Judo.

They're all already in the syllabus over here. Including the escapes that don't work. It's just the way it is.

Makes sense. I spent probably 15 hours on crescent kicks growing up just to have my instructor tell me not to bother with them if I was sparring anyone good ;)

I learned ippon seoi nage my first day.
 
btw, I disagree with any version of seoi nage being frightening.

The only throws I would classify as "frightening" would be sode tsurikomi goshi and old school kata guruma when tori is standing.
 
Seoi is a relatively smooth and easy fall.

Kata guruma also smooth and easy, at least wrestling style.

Tai Otoshi and sode tsurikomi are the worst for me.
 
Sode's a bad one, mainly because your breakfalling arm is tied.

I've been winded from an okuri ashi barai in recent memory.

Original kataguruma would be the highest amplitude throw in judo.
No other throw lifts you completely off the ground above shoulder level.
 
True, a properly executed footsweep has ugly ukemi, it's just a straight drop flat on your back, no roll.

I have only been hit with the wrestling version, so I guess I am lucky.
