DarthPenguin Posted July 25 Author Posted July 25 Do you use chalk for deadlifting, DP?i don't as i lift in home gym and don't fancy tidying up the mess! If it becomes an issue in future i will see about changing: that set was an AMRP set and i had set a target of 15 reps so i was happy with the number anyway - if i think it is impacting performance in future though i might think about it.Tempted to start gradually adding some straight bar deadlifts back in too - i might commit heresy though and do them sumo as i think they would do me good: i used to rotate between sumo and conventional and i think sumo helped my hips a lot

DarthPenguin Posted August 2 Author Posted August 2 Wednesday 31 JulyKarate Sessionwarm ups as per usual then worked on grading required kihon and grading kata. Weather was very warm plus in the middle of the summer holidays so attendance wasn't great so another 'ticking over' session really.
DarthPenguin Posted August 2 Author Posted August 2 Thursday 1st AugustJudo sessionBack at judo after the judo summer break warm ups were the more technique focused one (rather than firemans carries down the matted area) which i much prefer though i am truly awful at handstands and cartwheels - the handstands are meant to be a handstand into forward roll, mine is pretty much just a forward roll!Plenty of working drills down the mat to create some kuzushi for either forwards or backwards throw then did some uchikomi drills.Main throws worked were we got shown Sasae (hadn't seen it before) and then combining that with Osoto Gari if the opponent pulls back out of the Sasae. Main annoying part was i got paired up with a new guy i hadn't met before who constantly was stopping things to tell me how to do it (and pretty much 100% of the time he was wrong - they would say to lead with right foot he would insist it was left etc.) and would stop me every time. Got extremely annoying but at least i now know someone not to pair with for technique work in future!Then did some newaza rounds. Got paired up with the annoying guy to start who very smugly notified me that he "had done a bit of ground work" with a smug grin, i told him that i train bjj too so if he had experience was it fine for me to actually roll with him properly then (am ultra careful with other new people at judo). His response was quite like someone who is decent so i thought he might well be more experienced than me but that is always good learning. Reality was he is strong but a 1mth white belt in bjj at best! After quickly subbing him a few times (which annoyed him no end) i settled for just getting him into pins and holding him in mount or standard side control or kesa (would have let him work more but he was getting extremely aggressive as he wasn't winning so i thought control was the best option for both our safety!). Other rounds were fun and a lot more useful as didn't feel like it was someone trying to make a point!Overall a really good class - plus the extra fitness work involved in judo is really going to help me longer term i think!
bushido_man96 Posted August 3 Posted August 3 It's too bad those annoying guys show up in training. Sounds like you did his ego a favor, though. Hopefully he learns to shut up and train, but not likely. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
DarthPenguin Posted August 12 Author Posted August 12 It's too bad those annoying guys show up in training. Sounds like you did his ego a favor, though. Hopefully he learns to shut up and train, but not likely.Yeah i am just avoiding him tbh and will try to do so as much as possible. Otherwise i am going to begin his introduction to pins (easiest way of avoiding either of us getting hurt!)
