Along the lines of what TJS is saying - how do you know it will work unless you have done it? How is real fighting doing stuff at half speed, letting your partner prepare for a throw? A person trapped in an armbar that is locked in, applied will feel pain. If they do not tap out it will be dislocated. Throwing does not trap the person as much so there is more degrees of freedom. That makes the outcome of the throw less certain. I'd count on a throw that i've practiced full force against one I had 10 times the half speed practice.

You will eventually develop a core of strong techniques after much practice. Something you should focus on more when starting out is getting the concepts down like breaking balance and mutual benefit.

Take on a martial art with a lot of sparring like judo or bjj, wrestling to an extent. Boxing, muay thai and some forms of karate. You won;t have a black belt very quickly. However you basics will be strong due to testing them at high levels of resistance.

Good luck, get ready for a good workout.

I would not apoligize as it was unintentional. For dynamic throwing once your grip is set up off balance and enter the throw. Be it a handful of cotton or flesh a grip is a grip.

nope and women can do anything men can do and they don't need armour.

That's just it, sport is one component of BJJ. You have stated in many posts that you just started and you don't know much about other martial arts-bjj is definitely one of them you don't understand. When you take up bjj yeah you work on the ground. But you also focus on clinch takedowns, getting out of standing holds and how to transition to a dominant position on the ground. Does bjj handle all aspects well, no. That's why at the same school you'll most likely see guest instructors that teach wrestling, muay thai or straight up boxing. It's literally choose your own adventure at a bjj school - you want to train mma, self defence or only grappling competition you can. However, even a grappler is going to pick up some self defence moves. One thing that remains core to the sucess of bjj is constant live resistant practice and relatively small repetoire of techniques. This pertains to your comment about using martial arts in a real situation. A bjj practioner is going to have a handful of well drilled, stress tested techniques and this is why these people have a level of confidence in their system (may be seen as arrogance by others).

I think it says something along the line of Hello Quebec to other Quebecois or francophones I invite you to write I'm pretty sure that is not what it exactly says. Most people in Canada outside of Quebec (like me)only have a basic understanding of French.

Judo has the double leg, it's called morote gari.

While Osotogari was the first throw I learned I don't count it as one of my strongest. I like to go sasae tsurikomiashi to osoto, but a lot of times osoto to harai goshi. Harai goshi and uchi mata are strong thows for me. I enjoy getting a 2 on 1 and dropping in for a fireman (kata guruma). By far my favorite is sumi gaeshi to osaekomiwaza or to ude garmi.

SevenStar I agree with 2 of your 3 last comments- I've been taught yama arashi. It is classified as a tewaza.

Penalties? Do you have a site with the rules of the particular competition you are interested in? Otherwise depending on how you took them down there are many possiblities. Can you describe a take down and the most likely position you are in?

My parents moved to the states so maybe next year i'll celebrate both canadian and american thanksgiving.

Snow is great sometimes. When I was a kid we'd have at least a couple huge snowfalls a year that would shut down the schools. All the kids would run out and play in the snow all day building forts or snow wrestling. If it was warmer out the snow would be good for snowballs. Eventually it would look like more snow was in the air as artillery then on the ground. Mandatory hot chocolate was consumed in great quantities. On the flip side, when it is -40 C and the snow has to be shoveled it can be a pain. The stuff that comes down nice and light soon compacts to heavy and stiff. Driving can be interesting too with everything from walls of snow preventing an inch of movement, to slick iced roads allowing ample fish tailing and no stopping.

I was thrown and landed on my shoulder. I heard some crunching and pain made me want to vomit -fortunately i did not. Couldn't raise my left arm more than a few inches for a week. Other than that some minor things like, sprained toes, fingers, ruptured tendon in toe, cauliflower ear, twisted ankle, hyperextended elbow, bloody noses, and of course lots of bruises.

Alot the ground control positions are the same, however the objectives are not. BJJ you'll divide your time amongst submission moves that you can't use in wrestling. Ultimately you need to train in what you want to compete in . wrestlingkaratechamp17 While I agree with a good submission base, some of your comparisons are questionable. Tank fight could of went either way if he landed more of those bombs. I wouldn't want to be average anything against tank. I don't recall exactly but the Silvia fight looked like his arm wasn't fully extended. There was a pop of the forearm bones below the elbow joint -maybe aided by a stress fracture? Anyways, Silvia was not in a good position, but until the tap all kinds of things can happen (watch chonan vs newton). The actual bone breaking vs the joint comming undone I see more of a fluke. Did you watch any of Giant Silva;s fights? He had Herring (wrestling background) running around the ring avoiding some heavy long distance hands. Herring was eventually able to get in and submit him. Ogawa is a pro wrestler and judoka. Silva won against Sentoryu by ude garami. Terrell finished Lindland by strikes, this doesn't support you submissioin theory. Also take a look at lindlands record, not bad! Baroni has wrestling background, Randy Couture!? Also excellent background in wrestling. Silva was training in muay thai long before he started BJJ. In fact I think he has won almost all of his fights with striking. Fedor is an excellent judoka and samboist yet probably half his wins are from striking. All this shows is that you need good grappling and striking in MMA. As for your bet, what about the reverse - you put any of those guys in a world class wrestling meet and see how well they do?

Self defence Judo is a huge sport worldwide and is taught as such. In practice and competition there is no striking. A win is achieved by throwing an opponent forcefully onto their back or submission by choke, armlock, or by pin for 25 seconds. Since there is no striking you can stand square to your opponent which would otherwise be ripe for getting struck. However all the other techniques for throwing and ground submissions are meant to be practiced at full speed. Most clubs will have a large empahsis on live sparring which will allow you to pull off techniques under stress. In my experience against untrained people, once they latched on I could easily maintain my balance while putting them off theirs. I was also able to use some lower amplitude throws to minimize damage to them and gain control them on the ground till the situation diffused. Although I don't recommend this, there are variations to the throws which land people on their heads, or break limbs in the process. BJJ and judo share a common heritage and therefore share a large portion of techniques. BJJ however while having sport divisions still roots itself in self defence. All the banned techniques of judo are openly practiced in BJJ, including spine locks/cranks, leglocks, wristlocks etc. The few throws learned in BJJ tend to be higher percentage moves and will have some emphasis on striking from them. The forte of this system however is the ground control. Most clubs have no holds barred type training or specific striking classes as well. The high prices for some clubs can be deceptive as they are often unlimited classes per month. If you are enthusiatic about training and have the time you should compare the per hour values. Obviously if you trained BJJ once a week it wouldn't have a good ratio of economic benefit. Exercise Judo is a great workout - tough I'd admit. You say you have a good athletic base so that will help. Most people that haven't exercised in a few years will take a few months to shape up. New people doubled over after the first hour is common but I've only seen a couple of throwups. Classes will consist of warm up, throwing drills, ground technique drills, lots of free sparring standing up and depending on the club varying portions of groundwork. Other things that might work in class are gripfighting, kata (for blackbelt promotion), and how to fall. Learning how to fall is actually very important in the first few months. BJJ IMO is less intense but requires good stamina for the long haul. Judo has match times of 5 mins so training is often geared for those short periods. BJJ has less empahsis on time and sparring with someone for 30 mins is not unreasonable. Classes in BJJ warmup, do technique demo and drills afterwhich is free sparring. If you want something less hard on the body but still a tough workout I'd recommend BJJ. Discipline BJJ has a short bow in for the beginning and end of class and otherwise a slap of hands before sparring. Judo has a bow to start and end class as well as when you meet a new partner for any type of practice. Both systems are otherwise fairly informal. However there is respect for each other as the techniques have potential to cause lots of damage. I'd recommend either of these systems for a non aggressive person. Aggression does help but it can be overcome by good tactics. New people tend to spar in a very uncontrolled and wild manner. This tends to waste energy and doesn't always put you in a advantageous position. Watch the more experienced players and you will see they are relaxed, loose and are more than likely already setting up a few moves in advance. This is more of grappling chess.

Salaverry vs Fryklund in UFC 50 had a body triangle from rear mount. Resulted in a submission from what looked like a lower back sprain?

The connection between Hapkido and Daito Ryu can be seen readily in their core techniques. However, Kano's background was in Tenshin Shinyo Ryu and Kito Ryu. Judo saw some other jujutsu influences as other masters joined forces with the kodokan.

Aren't you currently not practicing martial arts? That is a pretty harsh commentary on your part. Anyhow, I agree with the original post about being in a dominant position. Cap guy was really more angry about the disruption to the surfing contest and looked like he was looking to give the guy some souvineir black eyes or lip. He could of easily applied chokes, joint locks, neck cranks which could have caused serious damage.

Yeah all my judo instructors are pretty old. A few are low 70s, sensei is 69. The younger ones in their 40s still randori and make life miserable for us.

They said your technique was good for your level -not perfect. Why not go to practice and make your techniques better. That way you will be well prepared for you test.

About 20 dollars a month for judo. 70 bucks a month for BJJ. I only drop by the wrestling club every once and a while but it's free. When i used to take mantis it was 35 dollars.

i use shout spray for blood and cold water wash -seems to take it out fine.
