that was a typo. I mentioned that earlier. The first couple of my posts were on a smart phone. Seriously you guys making fun of my gym and not directing me to your own? That's lame.
I'm not sure how having a smart phone makes you accidentally type "hip throw" instead of "shoulder throw".
I don't talk about my school because
1) I don't provide anymore information than necessary online.
2) I find people who place big emphasis on schools silly. Who cares? Do you plan on becoming the next big thing? Plan on making judo your life's work? Go to the Olympics? Then sure, the place you train at and the person you train under would be incredibly important.
But I don't care about any of that. Instead, I really enjoy the basic principles behind judo and the fact that it's a great way to blow off steam/play with controlled aggression. It's a terrific hobby sport and I intend it to stay that way.
So I have no need to train under some great master. I just need someone who knows what they're doing to instruct me.
Why do you care so much about pre-war judo? Do you realize that pre-war judo is the same thing as Kano Jigoru's judo, which is essentially the same judo practiced in most judo clubs, and shows that the seoinage is SUPPOSED to have uke roll off the shoulders and not launched over the head?
The morote seoinage may have uke launched over your head, but that is because the leverage is placed much higher than than you would have with an ippon seoinage. Though it ultimately rests on the height difference between tori and uke.
A lot of judo throws and their actual execution vary depending on height differences between tori and uke. But there are a set of standards developed by Kano Jigoro for his judo.
As for violence from the teacher- I learned TKD in Korea. There they hit you with a big fucking stick if you do things poorly, and I was 12 at the time. The place was also essentially a Mcdojo, since all Korean boys learn some TKD and so there needs to be a lot of them around.
I know what it means to face violence from your martial arts instructor. If you consider that kind of violence to be symbolic of a "good" teacher, then I really don't know what to say.
