cioGium Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 I have just started judo and all i can say is wohaaa!! i love it ! I've been looking for a club for quite some time but found just one that was only for proffesional judo(performance club-i am 23 years old so i was not welcome).....but then i found out that in a military-marine institute they have a club too-so there i was the next day joining in! Not only that they welcome me with warm but they also gave me a gi to wear until i will buy one. I also train in qwan ki do which is a stand up fighting martial art that also incorporates lots of joint locks and throws but no ground work so that's way istarted judo ! Just wanted to share this with you all and say hi !! p.s. yesterday learned o goshi Happines is not geting what you want but wanting what you've got!

Dober Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 I THINK, BJJ has a better ground game, it is THE ground game. White Belt - Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karateka_latino Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 But well, for the people who don't have access to a BJJ dojo or don't have the money to train because they charge too much for lessons or plain and simple there arent interest in BJJ. Judo is a very good option. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DokterVet Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 Have fun! I want to take Judo next year when I go to college. There's something about it that is more appealing to me than the other grappling arts. 22 years oldShootwrestlingFormerly Wado-Kai Karate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kensai Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 Judo is great, and so is the O Goshi throws, but wait until you do ippon seoi nage, thats the damn coolest throw. Congrats on finding something you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramymensa Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 Congratulations. I also think judo is a great option. I intended joining a judo dojo, but this year at the University my instructor put together a self defence class and they learn there Aikido, Judo and Shotokan techniques. Imagine I'm there all the time (although I don't have to take the classes). I just said PLEASE to my instructor and she's happy to have a "crash test dummy". She wouldn't throw a beginner, cause they are all freaked out, so she uses me. And I love every flight Go study Judo. You'll learn some useful things. Hmm O Goshi. OUCH. A beginner tried that on me. My left hand still hurts World Shotokan Karate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
