Judo

[seersin]

Well,I've been to my first two Judo classes,I'm really enjoying it.I practiced on my falling Thursday,I got banged up a little on tha forward roll,I've worked on two throws,and did some groundwork.I'm enjoying it a great deal.

[Fu Man]

Good luck with your Judo classes.

I am a Judoka newbie as well. Judo is pretty fun, and very good exercise too.

Yeah I love it also. And it's a good self defense art also.

Good to see someone is still taking Judo and not jumping on the BJJ band wagon.Best of luck on your journey in Judo.Train Hard.

[Davison]

I love judo. I found that after you get your ukemi(falling) down, it seems to be more enjoyable with every class.

[seersin]

Yeah,tha sesei showing me tha forward roll was like we can use tha big yoga ball,he said it helps.I said I don't need that,my forward roll turned into a sideflip and wham right on my kidney,It sucked but,I did it a few more times and progressed.

Glad you like it, I wana start taking judo again but the closest school is like a 45 min drive.

What's so wrong with the "BJJ bandwagon?"

What's so wrong with the "BJJ bandwagon?"

People thinking that they are indestructable badasses and that all other arts are inferior. That's what.

[Mr Pockets]

Not really, some maybe think that way. You have to admit though, right now BJJ is an art that is very complete in it's grappling. I can't find a BJJ school that doesn't teach techniques applicable from wrestling, judo, or anything else. It isn't just a style out on it's own, it contains the same throws and submissions you will find elsewhere. Plus! there's none of that bowing before class and hailing your sensei and all of that.
