jdash Posted May 22, 2001 Posted May 22, 2001 Hi, welcome to the judo forum...I personally study this at my school and enjoy it immensely! The only problem that I have is learning not to mind falling oh, well I will get it sooner or later.
Lars Posted May 24, 2001 Posted May 24, 2001 I went to Judo at 9 years old until I was 11. Judo is quite fun, and very exhausting. But I lost interest in it and turned to Jiu-jitsu at 14, and I have been enjoying it ever since! Lars Østergaard

Angus Posted June 23, 2001 Posted June 23, 2001 Judo has some deadly throws man, i've always admired it... Respects, Angus. Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.
striking_cobra Posted April 23, 2002 Posted April 23, 2002 judo good...falling bad... lol i study bjj, and we were learning some judo throws to help take down an opponent...i seriously don't like being thrown. lol " The art of Kung Fu San Soo lies not in victory or defeat, but in the building of human character."

ZeRo Posted April 23, 2002 Posted April 23, 2002 i do small circle jujitsu we learn quite a few judo throws. at the beggining i hated it. then i learn how to fall right now i got used to it its one of the best bits.
Arts_not_Brutality Posted April 23, 2002 Posted April 23, 2002 I hate Falling! lol. But, if you can bring the person down all right, it's affective, and no one get's killed Very good stuff!
Dutch Posted April 23, 2002 Posted April 23, 2002 Did Judo for about 17 years - yes it can hurt! Have been playing BJJ now for about 2.5 - IMHO less pain but more complicated. Any Judo questions feel free to ask and I'll do what I can!
Mike Posted April 29, 2002 Posted April 29, 2002 did judo for about 6 years as a junior and it was great exercise and good for learning to fall properly - a skill which none of my contemporaries at karate (which I study now having quit judo) seem to be able to deal with. I prefer the karate, but thats largely due to the fact that I'm 6' 2" and weigh almost nothing. Makes escapes from hold downs a touch difficult! I guess I'm living proof that each of the arts has its benefits.
