I really hope there's a group of townies standing wristlocking and throwing people every time they get drunk on the town.

Thanks. kimbo305 posted:Is this a hypothetical, or have some aikidoka been causing trouble at your bar? No that was just hypothetical. No ones been sober enough to perform something as technical as that against me. The reason I used it as an example was because I worked with a guy that fought/trained MMA and was also a bouncer. He showed me how to execute a sort of wrist lock against someone when they lunge for your hand. It stuck with me because he showed me how to execute it with me as an example, and it completely immobilized me. He's about half my size and weight so if he can do it I'm sure someone else could!

Dennis McClaren posted:Okay perfect that's exactly what I'm looking for then! Thanks. I mean if you get in a fight with someone who trains in MMA even semi-seriously you're going to get your rear end kicked, and it isn't because you don't know how to defend a wrist lock. But judowns and will absolutely make you much more calm and capable during a physical confrontation. It'll also make you realize that if you throw an untrained person onto a surface that isn't a mat they're going to be horribly maimed at best and it's probably something you don't want to do.

Judo is great. Yeah it's a "throwing art", but practicing controlling your opponent's movement, posture, and balance while maintaining your own in order to setup the throws is super useful, even if you don't intend on dumping somebody on their head.

So I've been taking goju ryu karate lessons for about a month now, and have really been enjoying it. It's a very good group of chill people, and nobody feels like they're trying to prove something. I'm a pretty small person, and it's really interesting seeing how differently things work for me versus for big guys. Does the amount of general bruising decrease as time goes on? Or should I just embrace not caring if I want to wear summer clothes ever again?

Are you more doing this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEW44hhUkqI or this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBrWIfIbX-A The second will probably leave bruises on you somewhere, the first should not.

KildarX posted:Depends. That first one looks very... slappy. I'm pretty new and they're not having me do any sparring yet, but the second video looks much closer to what I see the seniors at the dojo doing (though at a higher intensity). That being said, my pale goon flesh is probably just unused to our conditioning exercises and I'll just have to deal for the time being.

I'm a pretty small person, and it's really interesting seeing how differently things work for me versus for big guys. I lived in a silly martial arts boarding school in a forest for a year some years ago, training gojuryu for most of it. The bruising definitely decreases, but more importantly, you'll become conditioned to all the hurty warm-up stuff while newcomers will be like whoa my forearm is going to break. I'm a bit surprised by the grappling aspect of the kumite video posted. We very rarely did grappling, and when we did, it was the most hilariously incompetent "ok, just do stuff! pinch the other guy if he's stalling!" type of training. A friend and I, both with little martial arts training at the time, were able to outgrapple our black belt instructors by way of watching BJJ instructionals, which opened my eyes to how flawed and 'magical' parts of gojoryu is. I was pretty bad at it, though. Retreating and attacking people with nothing but low kicks so as to not get hit was apparently not in the spirit of the art.

How do Judo gis compare to BJJ gis? I have a few BJJ gis and I'm thinking about giving Judo a try. Mostly curious if I can use my BJJ gis for Judo.

Judo gis are roomier overall and have less bullshit on them. Most judo places won't have a problem with you wearing a bjj gi, though you might catch some poo poo for the tight bjj sleeves.

We give people more poo poo for the NASCAR looking gis that some guys come in our club with. Extra points for the camo or "themed" gis. You just need feel the pain of being locked in a grip from the tricep a few times before you start to consider a Judo Gi.

I've been working my way through both this and the boxing thread and decided that I am not adverse to getting punched and/or grappled. I feel like I'm stalling trying to find a decent gym. I'd like something at least semi-serious, but I'm not really sure how to gauge instructors or how much I should be paying. Anybody know a decent place in the west Chicago suburbs? Am I over thinking this? Kamel fucked around with this message at 00:04 on Aug 15, 2017 |

I haven't trained here myself but my instructor got his black belt here: http://viannabrothers.com/ I have no idea if that's close to you though. You're in Chicago so there's probably plenty of places to go. I would call a few places and see if any fit in your schedule. If you don't get a good vibe from the phone call, you don't have to go. If you don't get a good feeling after the first class or first few classes you don't have to go back either. Rates are going to vary city to city. Ask for the price when you first call.

Is anyone from the Oklahoma City area? I'm looking to start training in Judo or BJJ and I've googled around and the highest rated one was at LOVATO'S SCHOOL OF BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU & MIXED MARTIAL ARTS (http://okbjj.com/). Has anyone has any experience with it or could recommend me another school? Probably a long shot.

Rafael Lovato Jr. is a very famous BJJ and MMA guy and a world champion, arguably the greatest American BJJ player ever. Go train with him

+1 its hard to find many Americans with Lovato's pedigree. My friend trained there for a bit and it sounded like its def a competition focused gym. Intense warmups, lots of drilling and dudes who are very serious about the sport. However, he said the instruction was great, people were nice and it was intense but not assholes if that makes sense so def go and try it. My friend is a brown belt too so IDK if they go slower in the white belt section.

Anyone got any tips on how to stop yourself from breathing from the mouth when you are fighting exhausted? I find myself doing this since I started back into Judo again after 9 months and it is gassing me out faster than if I breathed though my nose. My training partners are picking up on this as well because I stop breathing when I am about to do something and they capitalize on it every time. The mouth guard doesn't help this either but I rather not get a tooth knocked out of my mouth from someone punching me in newaza.

I think this is one of those instances where the answer is "just train." I tend to bite down on my gum shield to stop myself from slobbering air in through my mouth. I think learning your breathing is something that just comes with time, I've certainly seen a change in how I breathe when exercising over the last year of training. Timing and stuff should just come to you.

You can practice breathing whenever. In through the nose, hold for a bit, out through the mouth, hold for a bit. Once that doesn't make you uncomfortable, start working it into your drills.

Ryan hall really hammers that point home a lot when it comes to training, I'm not sure about during sparring but I find myself doing better being relaxed against nervous guys. I'm coming from a bjj background but I think it might work for you.

A visiting guy I didn't know came to class the other day and a couple rolls in my friend mentions the new guy is really good. I'm doing pretty well that day so next round I head straight for him. Turns out he was really good. Still though I'm real intent to hold my own, and at least not get tapped. Certainly not to something dumb, like a no gi ezekial. [Scene missing] And that's the story of how I got choked out.

Just last night my buddy and I were talking about no-gi Ezekiels and where and when to go for them. (He was going for them from offensive positions in an attempt to get the tap; I go for them as a distraction to allow me to gain something positional elsewhere, or as a defense to a straight armbar in guard)

I think it started with me on the bottom in a sort of smashed half butterfly position, then I got on top for a bit but he kept the grip real tight and I wasn't able to do much to his hands, then I think at the end I got swept back and finished under mount.ICHIBAHN posted:Could get it from failed arm triangle if partner maneuvers to their side.
