Thanks for your comment!

Was told this last night….I was afraid to be thrown down and did hurt my back. Missed class tonight. 😀💪🏾 we try again tomorrow

so what do we love to get throw and enjoy the pain?

@@gshepherd6141 We resist and avoid being thrown. But we beginners, once we are being thrown, should not resist it by trying to twist out like Olympic athletes. We have to use our breakfalls, rolling smoothly across our backs. It gives our training partner a clean Ippon, and it is when we learn how not to be hurt when thrown.

@@GoDaveGo Respectfully understood, but sometimes the environment around you changes where it's not always safe to be thrown. Not to complicated things though, I do agree with techniques of reduction the friction of the throw to reduce the damage you take.

dont give up brother, that's what martial arts is about. im proud of you

Great decision, my friend, you will not regret it. Judo is something you can do at almost any age and you will benefit physically and mentally (and maybe even spiritually) from regular training. Good luck on your new journey 🙂

Keep Going!

Thanks for your comment, and good luck on your Judo Journey🙏

Good for you! I'll be 57 in a couple of months as well.

i am a lifelong boxer and boxing coach, i have just started judo and also found this very different.

I’ve been boxing for 1.5 years and when I take Judo I’m planning to keep my left foot forwards since I already got the footwork.

Same here, I also found it strange!

I understand it feels strange at first for a boxer but the reason is that your stronger side needs to be closer to your partner / adversary as you need to get your grip on him and control / lead him. As a boxer you have a different perspective as you jab with your weaker side and throw your hard punch with momentum for which you need more space by turning your whole body. Hope this makes sense.

When I began boxing, I had a background of martial arts from when I was younger. My stance was naturally southpaw because of this. My jabs were so strong that they wondered why I wasn't boxing orthodox. I didn't either, I just did what felt right. I forced myself to box orthodox because of this. I can switch between both now. Martial arts still feels better with my right foot forward, but boxing feels better orthodox now.

How is your judo training? I recently started karate and also starting Judo soon. Is it hard on the body or is it generally safe?

@@dominiknowaczyk9633 if I may weigh in on your situation, it can be super rough on the body. (Almost 2 years experience now) sore back and sore legs most often. Smacked the side of my head real hard on the receiving end of an uchi mata once. Learn to relax and not be tense when thrown and try to tuck your chin to keep your head from doing a whiplash movement before landing and smacking against the mat. Easier said than done sometimes lol Pay attention to the mechanics of your throws. The finest details can create the biggest difference in a beautiful well executed (and controlled) throw or a scary tangled mess that can hurt you and your partner. Idk how sensei Shintaro feels about this, but I started to believe awhile back that falling properly is a big skill of its own. Like as your partner is refining a throw as they toss you around, you are simultaneously refining your falling technique. On a final note, efficiently learning judo can seem super boring sometimes (uchikomi) but the skills you gain are insanely handy when you start applying them. (Started BJJ recently, those guys had no idea what hit them til it was too late 🤣) good luck fam!

@@thejollyroger9281 ukemi seems to be a super big deal indeed. It actually saved my life a few months ago yo I'm not gonna be the one to disagree with you.

Thanks for your comment, and good luck on your Judo Journey🙏

All of them sir

Ma-ai, especially how to position yourself against a defensive opponent so you can get through the defence and throw them without getting countered.

Kumikata - ways to strengthen the grip. Thank you Sensei and happy new year 2022!

All of them! I think the blue ones need the most work for me.

I want to work on off balancing, as I'm quite good at using my legs, but not good at using my arms as much.

Thanks for your comment, and good luck on your Judo Journey🙏

@@shintaronakano2842 thank you!!

What are you using for judo-supportive exercises?

How are you coping with injuries/ wear and tear?

@@gibbsy-wd5nq Well, now I'm using a lot of the exercises found in this video. Prior to this I hadn't been given any exercises to do at home but had been doing Aikido (good for ukemi) for a year prior to beginning Judo. My kids are also in Judo and so I bought mats for home so we could practice and review together.

@@Andybaby I go a little easier than the younger students and mostly ignore the little stuff (bruises, sore muscles, friction burns, etc). But seeing people who suffer far worse injuries than myself and keep going serves as motivation to suck it up and carry on. Seeing people older than me and what they're still capable of also serves to motivate me to work through the bumps and bruises.

Wow, that's amazing! I'm about your age. I did some judo in college and train BJJ now. I can't imagine putting my body through Judo now, but I guess I'm not training BJJ in the same way as the 20 year olds are now either 😂 Good training! Oss

Also I hardly got thrown, but I always used to before this video.

@@oscar-wi3tj Thank you for your comment! I'm glad to hear this video helped your judo!

You're welcome! Thanks for your comment! It is sad to see some great judo techniques disappear after developing.

But he's saying that a right hander should fight 'southpaw' and vice-versa, which is very different.

@@edwardburroughs1489 I understand which is also a principle used in boxing a lot. Most people believe the "power hand" should go on the back, but I personally disagree. I'm right handed and fight south paw, I feel it better to have your dominant hand in front for a better jab (most important punch) and more controlled defense being able to parry easier. Also, there's tons of boxers out there who have a stance with their dominant hand forward ie Oscar De La Hoya, Miguel Cotto, Vasyli Lomachenko, etc...

You are welcome!

my pleasure!
