Judo Warrior Posted May 26, 2004 Author Share Posted May 26, 2004 Thank You all for your help and advice. I can't wait for my next Judo class...which is tomorrow. I'm looking foreward to learning new throws and ground techniques . The only bad thing is, after June 1st, i'm going to start training with the advanced classes because the sensai cancelled the beginner's classes since not much people go to it. I just don't want to practice with the advanced students because i don't want to mess up infront of them and make myself look stupid . - A coward dies a thousand deaths, A warrior dies but once.- No matter how strong the wind is, The mountain cannot bow to it.

rb Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 If you think that you are missing a great chance at improving your skill. I'm at a club that has only a handful of underbelts. We have national, international champions and even an olympic medalist at the club. Every practice you constantly push to keep up and by doing so learn faster. Also I want to avoid being thrown by a 6/5th kyu as much as possible. They have little technique and many times drop ppl in midair or have no balance so that you fall on them. Getting thrown by a competent judoka is a fairly painless thing that you can do in class. The only way you get good is to practice. Practicing with the more experienced ppl in the club takes some of the guess work out of it as they can better accomadate and advise you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolverineGuy Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 I agree. Working with the advanced belts will be a HUGE advantage to you. Ask them as many questions as possible about hand position, leg position, where their balance is going, etc. You will learn a TON more that way.
