sansoouser Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 Have any of you ever been thrown by a master of judo, aikido, or other throwing arts? Feeling how smooth it was? The amateur shoots his hands out ferociously, but lacks any true power. A master is not so flamboyant, but his touch is as heavy as a mountain.

turonaga Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 Have any of you ever been thrown by a master of judo, aikido, or other throwing arts? Feeling how smooth it was?yes, the throw was smooth the follow-up was not. his semi shut eyes seemed that he was closing his eyes during the randori gave the impression that he was relax yet firm. i wonder where Sensei Oguso is now. anyone heard of him? his kodokan. his ears already deformed from grappling. why did we surrender lord?

Jiyn Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 I used to do aikido and i only ever once or twice managed to produce a perfect throw,my sensei did alot of throwing on me of course. Karate is like an explosion, not like paint drying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sansoouser Posted May 19, 2004 Author Share Posted May 19, 2004 Ya, they seem effortless too, my sensei is around 86 and weighs 250 pounds, he is a grappling expert. Even now he is a challenge to wrestle, he's not necassarily strong but knows leverage well, he's been doing judo for around 75 years.

Treebranch Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 It's all about understanding how to manipulate your opponents balance.

Gumbi Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 I've been thrown by a couple of quality Judokas. It looks like it hurts when you watch them do it to someone else, but if you even have the slightest idea how to break fall, they're the safest people to go with. And yes I can feel (when im flying through the air) how clean the technique was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
