In the following arm-bar, what prevents uke from turning onto his belly?
Yes, I get that the answer is "pressure" and "do it right, no can defense" - but are there any tips or tricks?
Pretty much every time I do randori since Sankyu. I'm 95% tape at this point.

Boxing linement. Definitely works for me before and after judo practice.
Well, when I write "take it easy", I don't mean to say that they don't throw you or don't do anything. The guy I mentioned foot-sweeps me pretty much every chance he gets. Now that I no longer get swept immediately, I'm left with painful bruises on my ankle.
I've noticed that it differs between people though. Black belts doing randori with below-brown belt folks range from actively trying to teach you how to deal with certain situations/doing nothing but defending/Going half-speed and just catching your mistakes and punishing you/going full-bore and demolishing your ass because they can do it with impunity.
I've only gone once against a black belt who did the last one. The experience left me limping for days and with a genuine fear of getting thrown for some time. If those are the kinds of people you do randori with on a daily basis, then massive kudos. I don't think my body can handle it after a while.
I use the adidas Lateral Speed Resistor. It has two Velcro cuffs for each foot and an elastic attached to them.
finally got to the doctor a week after fuckin' my back up cutting some ice. they gave me methocarmabol, and it's amaaaaaaaazing.
If you have back problems, you really should move to Colorado. Just sayin'.

Onq: you mentioned that Bulgaria has the best sambo. Do you know much about the judo / sambo scene in Serbia? I'm originally from Bor, Serbia which is close to the border. Would be wild to think I ended up in a "traditional slavic sport" all the way on the other side of the globe
i agree! in the meantime i just have the Colorado come to me.![]()
