ramymensa Posted February 19, 2003 Posted February 19, 2003 It's a pity you have to get thorough this. Now you'll have something to learn and help us teach the newbies never to make such mistakes I'm really sorry you have to face this ... you could stay those darn 6 months (you've signed a contract so make the best from your money) and learn EVRYTHING you can. It doesn't matter if it's pure judo or BJJ. BJJ it's a mixture of other styles thus you'll never have to worry you are doing techniques from other arts Cross training is a good thig so you'll have this chance from the start Learn all you can ... it would help you become a well rounded martial artist. After those 6 months you'll move on to another dojo, if you'd like ... Good luck ... keep us up to date World Shotokan Karate
BonnyBoy Posted February 19, 2003 Posted February 19, 2003 Judo should incoporate some ground work, a judo dojo I went to had me do the scarfhold, while a higher belt escaped from it. However, as a brief generalistion, I'd say it's Judo if you're on your feet and doing throws/sweeps and it's BJJ if you're on the ground. There are always two choices, two paths. One choice is easy and its only reward is it's easy.It takes sacrifice to be the best.

jiu-jitsu fighter Posted February 19, 2003 Posted February 19, 2003 oh sorry i meant to say marcus's place, "When we go to the ground,you are in my world, the ground is the ocean, I am the shark,and most people don't even know how to swim"
yellowsnow Posted February 20, 2003 Posted February 20, 2003 I believe judo has more standup with joint locks and throws while BJJ is pretty near all ground fighting while trying to submit.. YS
Mr Heel Hook Posted February 20, 2003 Posted February 20, 2003 Wow...that was funny. I got so mad at you Kensei for a moment. Then I realized you were kidding when I finished your post...So yeah, if you scream that you will know by reaction if they teach BJJ or not. "A deer admires a lion.

Kensai Posted February 20, 2003 Posted February 20, 2003 I was kidding, but I do believe it would give you the desired result.
Mr Heel Hook Posted February 20, 2003 Posted February 20, 2003 Just got home and reread your post. I still think it was funny home I got irate for a split second over what you said...that is before I read the rest and realized you were kidding. But, that would be the perfect test to see what you are learning. Problem is...it might cause you an unearthly amount of pain as well. Ah! But who said knowledge came at a cheap price?

kenpo4life Posted February 20, 2003 Posted February 20, 2003 Some judo schools do incorporate groundwork. Not many though. I think that olympic judo was the worst thing ever to happen to the art. Kano even stated that judo was not what he created. Old judo is nuts. They had a lot of emphasis on both standing and ground If my survival means your total destruction, then so be it.
Kensai Posted February 21, 2003 Posted February 21, 2003 "Some judo schools do incorporate groundwork" Its not Judo if it does not have ground work.
