I'm 26. And did watch those kumi kata videos. I've been shown that that but not really gone over in depth. But now you say griping might too advanced for me so it probably isn't a big concern I don't do more of it. And your snarky comment about a game plan is similar to what my judo coaches have told me when I made a similar remark to them.
Snarky, LOl, sorry you are such a delicate flower. I'm spending a considerable amount of time sharing with you, as are others.
Being shown something and not drilling it regularly, you might as well not have been shown.
Keep your lapel grip level or slightly higher than your own shoulder.
Keep uke hand off of your lapel (sleeve control, keep his hand in your half of the space between you).
When you do uchikomi, nagekomi, or other drills, start off with sleeve control. Hold uke sleeve between the elbow and the end of the sleeve, get a double grip (no slack between his forearm and you hand). Normally you get sleeve control, then move to the lapel grip in ai yotsu gripping situation.
If you do not have sleeve control, maintain the double grip (no slack) between forearm and your grip, and grip between his elbow and sleeve opening, usually closer to the sleeve opening is preferred.
Kenka yotsu (left vs right), inside lapel control first, then sleeve control, or, double lapel, pull down with the farside grip on his lapel (on collar bone, not mid chest) and work from there until you can get his far sleeve.
Reading comprehension, please. Go back and re-read what I wrote in regard to grip fighting. The fundamentals are not too advanced for you, but you have other technical issues that will hold you back as well, as have been noted multiple times. What I outlined above are fundamentals.
Now we are getting somewhere and I think we understand each other. Clearly we had a failure to communicate before as there I a big change in your tone in the last post of yours to this one. I think you read an adversarial tone in my messages that wasn't there and you think I am being uppity...
Let me be clear. Fuck my tone, Muffin. You had a failure of reading comprehension, no doubt aided by the fact that I'm not trying to write a fucking paper for a peer-reviewed journal, and no doubt aided by your lack of understanding of a large part of the topic, and no doubt aided by the fact that I'm writing about something that is best taught in person, with face-to-face verbal and tactile feedback.
But keep on complaining, it's OK.
But really I know I am pretty bad at judo and don't really disagree with your assessment of my ability.
You mentioned I might not be getting good instruction. Now that Ive explained more about it and explained I spend most of my time on BJJ what do you think? I kind of feel like I should ask YOU for a video of you teaching. So there is no misunderstanding.
I can only go by what you say about your instruction. The more you write, the more I suspect it's you, not your instructors. In any case, that doesn't really matter. If you want to consider my advice/analysis, feel free to do so, or reject it, or whatever proportion makes sense to you.
You are better at BJJ than Judo, judging from your one video of BJJ (no gi) I watched. You are doing mostly standard, basic stuff, which is fine. That could be a product of the fact that groundwork is easier to pick up than standing, in general, and also that BJJ instruction is pretty standardized, and is generally taught in flow/action reaction sequences that are also fairly standardized. BJJ does not require as much coordination, in general, as throwing in Judo because of the fact you are laying on the ground mostly in BJJ. Standing has a much steeper learning curve.
I've actually posted 5 videos of myself grappling and no one else has reciprocated...[/QUOTE]
You are the one asking the questions and wanting the free (to you) advice...
You want to see a 54 year old man with 35 years of training and competing, and teaching/coaching ? Most of my competition was never recorded, and posting it would prove or disprove nothing. If I'm full of shit, then there are multiple people on this board who will call me on it who are qualified to do so.
