Ok, so maybe medium.....

Good round of randori to cap off the night.
 
lulz, "lets go light" always means "lets go light until you start beating me, then we're fighting for the world championship"...

Nah, not quite that, the WB my second to last round of randori put me in mood with his "sweep" attempts on my bad ankle. I had 20 lbs on him, so controlled self. Next partner I played nice, but felt like hitting some throws....he had weight on me, so I figured I was good.
 
What throws should beginners focus on? Is it a good idea to focus on foot techniques like ashi barai, osoto gari, and kouchi gari? I know those 3, ippon seoi nage and morote seoi nage so far. So a total of 5 moves.

In general what are the most high percentage throws in judo?

All solid throws. I'd advise against morote for little while just in case you hurt your wrist but if you're fine with it then fair enough. Usually morote is used as a drop though.

If there is one foundational truth to all grappling sports, this is the one.

Going light for real means committing to letting the other guy beat you. And this essentially never happens.
 
Woke up to a text this morning from a fellow Judoka saying "come to the gym tonight at 6:30. A couple of pro mma fighters are coming down and we're gonna spar".

I think my jaw and ankle are broken. My ankle more so. I threw a right roundhouse, and this guy blocks it perfectly with his elbow.

Only if your partner is as badly sore as you are...sadly my teammate who also suffered the Thursday night practice was on the other side of the mat and I got the younger lower kyus who do Judo 2x a week at most...

My "don't full blast Osoto the WBs" instinct kicked in, so one decided that meant he had free reign to chop the hell out of my leg, in hindsight I should have worked on my swallow-tail reversal......

The one you practice 100000x

Seriously, everyone is different, you have to find the throws you are comfortable with, with your favorite grip, adjust for uke's size if needed and then figure out the best way to set him up for it.

There is no hard and fast route. Try shit with uchikomis, try it moving, try it in randori, keep at it and you'll find your game.

That's a given...


Working in multiple clubs really helps to get different perspectives and helps me get used to different games. There's a guy at my second club who's unfootsweepable and unreapable, which forces me to work on my big forward throws. As such, I've finally hit my first eri seoi nage (the one I always rep but could never hit live) in randori recently.

Oh right, I forgot to mention, I'm officially a judo creonte now. JTB showed me the righteous path.

It really does help. Your game just stagnates if you train with the same people all the time.

My internet provider is going to block porn and gambling sites from next month or something. I'll need to change my settings to include them.

On a side note, great advice beepee. I hit what can only be described as a fantastic Uchi mata, IMO. First time in randori I've done one so clean.

Good to hear JTB, sometimes learning from others failures helps and ive failed at uchi mata for years!

"slow is smooth, smooth is fast. it's just like seducing someone - if you get excited and try to rush things, you're going to be disappointed with the results.

take time to focus on doing it correctly. Judo might feel awkward at first, but you've gotta trust the people who know more than you do. anyone can do it but a lot of people are physically under-equipped for the task at hand in one fashion or another, and try to find shortcuts or half-ass approaches that work for them.

you have to whole-ass Judo. do every damn one of those breakfalls and pushups and caterpillars. drop your ass, stay on your toes, keep your back straight, push AND pull. simultaneously.

yeah, just like fuckin' - you might think you know some shit once you realize how great it can feel to score, so you just go to that and hope for the best, but you should broaden your horizons and realize there's all sorts of shit out there that hasn't even occurred to you.

even the mightiest oak started as a sapling.

What about someone who is relatively short (5'8) and light (155). Are big throws or foot techniques better for my build?

I personally like foot techniques so I'll probably work on those anyway.
 
My Zantaraia "fuck your ippons" skills are improving. I can twist out of a lot of throws I see coming, and can even land on my feet on occasion. The odd footsweep still catches me though.

There's just no Zantaraiaing out of them.

That's the thing.

If you like it, you'll work it. If you work it, you'll improve it. If you improve it, it's yours.

I used to do that, but the falls are so much more uncomfortable I largely gave up on it in randori.

The biggest thing is to not get discouraged/frustrated.

It takes time for Judo to resonate.
 
Random tip -

Don't cut your finger nails short as possible before class. Not sure how many more times I need to do this before I learn my lesson.
