Been back at judo for the last three weeks, after a year of no exercise and fully immersing myself in the Scottish diet. It hurts.
 
Welcome back. I can't wait until I get to step onto the mat again and hit my first class
 
i'm TA-ing our university judo and hapkido classes and also doing club workouts. Tuesdays and Thursdays is 6 hours of ninja. we had to move the dojo while our old digs our renovated and all we've got is a dollamur mat over a wood floor on top of concrete.

so yeah, RJ's on the bananas and percocet diet
 
Finally watched all of the conference on the 2017 rules.

About 8to10hrs I'm guessing of video.
"Dynamic and Attractive " Judo
Wazari change = cannot build to ippon
Grip change as long as offensive positive intent
Shido change - 3 to Han soku make, You get 1 leg touch, while 2nd = Han soku make
 
Hey. Don't know how to phrase this without getting bashed (I don't know if this forum is civil or not), but I've been wondering a few things about Judo. I'm 18 and I just started last October:

1. What's some good conditioning for Judo? This is the first sport that I've actually seriously gotten into, and so far i've been trying to lose weight (i'm 190ish lbs (I think, Haven't weighed myself in forever), but i'm 5'8 so I guess it balances out?) and condition myself via weights. I actually did my first deadlift a week ago, and I've just been making slow progress. Is this the right track or...?

2. Another question. So I don't know if this is just because of where I live, but it seems like most Judo clubs around me are dying. Even at my club (Which is actually mostly BJJ, but they have certified Judo classes there as well) most of the guys are much older than me, and are BJJ guys doing Judo to round themselves out. (TBH I'd do BJJ Too if it wasn't that damn expensive.)

3. How are gis supposed to be, and how many should I have? I"m a broke uni student so I only have one (That I wash after every class, don't worry) but in certain forums they say I'm supposed to have 2+?

4. How do you all keep track of Judo competitions? Not local ones, but international and broadcasted ones. I've tried Ippon.tv, but it seems like i can never find a schedule? Also, are there any other recommended vids that I should be checking out?

I think that's all. Thanks to anyone who can help.

If you're just looking to lose weight, you'll want to do any exercises that get your heart rate going high, roughly 2-3 days after your judo training, this way you keep your metabolism going and your body burning calories. If you want to get competitive, get yourself in the swing of a legit S&C program tailored for explosiveness.

2. Another question. So I don't know if this is just because of where I live, but it seems like most Judo clubs around me are dying. Even at my club (Which is actually mostly BJJ, but they have certified Judo classes there as well) most of the guys are much older than me, and are BJJ guys doing Judo to round themselves out.

Not sure what your question is, or where you live, but from what I've seen the past few weeks after registering my oldest son and since I started training is that in my area it hasn't really grown, or died down. With that being said, there are also more dojos opening that I haven't really seen and can't speak about the quality of them.

3. How are gis supposed to be, and how many should I have? I"m a broke uni student so I only have one (That I wash after every class, don't worry) but in certain forums they say I'm supposed to have 2+?

This is really a matter of preference, but in competition I always preferred an extremely stiff gi, and the night before I would even wash it and hang dry it to help it get stiffer. The idea is that it's much harder for your opponent to get a grip when your gi is stiff. The idea behind needing 2 is that sometimes you will bleed on your gi, and in a tournament you cannot have blood on your gi at all, and in the club it's bad form to train in a gi with blood on it as your partners will be touching it, and potentially shoving their faces in it. Mizuno is the best.

4. How do you all keep track of Judo competitions? Not local ones, but international and broadcasted ones. I've tried Ippon.tv, but it seems like i can never find a schedule? Also, are there any other recommended vids that I should be checking out?

I can't really help you there, I don't watch much besides on youtube when I have free time. Once again, it depends on your goals. If you want to get into competition watch videos detailing grip fighting (although that may not be a big part of the game, in the next few years), mostly you need to practice. You decide which techniques you're going to apply consistently, you need to train them consistently, and you need to learn new methods of getting your opponent to fall into your traps. It all comes down to randori, really. The more you train your favorite techniques the better you will become and the more aware you will become, videos help mostly to show you new things you may not have thought on your own, or that are strategies used in different parts of the world. Your instructors should be able to help you with the finer details you may be missing on foot placement, kuzushi, grips, etc.

Hope I could help :)



I think that's all. Thanks to anyone who can help.

Judogis.com cheap gis. I love adidas but it's a personal choice. They just fit me best.
 
amazon prime. fuji double weave for 90 bucks in 2 days
 
Daniel Kelly (former Olympic Judoka) will be fighting Rashad Evans next. If you don't know who Daniel Kelly is, he's a guy who despite always looking awkward, has amassed a 5-1 record in the UFC.
 
Competition time again.

This is my first more open comp, I'm a yellow belt and could fight up to Blue belts. In my other comps it's been yellow or bellow, looking forward to getting schooled.
 
i think that on a long enough timeline Judo has a 100% injury rate

Nice, good luck out there. Remember, you have no pressure. They don't expect you to beat them. However, if you win, they'll remember it for sure.

The dude who forgets he was a judoka for the first half of a fight?
 
It's a good thing he's otherworldly tough. Also, it wouldn't surprise me if his knees barely work now.

He's always good to watch, though.

Yeah, after 4 Olympics his knees are probably toast. It would have been interesting to have seen what he could do if he was younger.
