I'm 44 and I started judo a month ago. I think so far you get banged up no matter what. I love judo!
@@jamesSmith-fl5wv any contact sport is going to results in some injuries here and there, injury prevention and prehab and rehab it what we need to focus on i believe.
A really great video. Cause when you get older, you start getting more cautious with injuries :-)
Absolutely! 🙏
After getting injured 4 years ago during a competition, I'm going to start training again in these days. What I learned from my past experience?
1. Stretching will save you
2. Additional warm up will save you
3. Tap always, tap often
4. Functional training over bodybuilding training
100%, mind you building bigger therefore stronger muscles (thats where bodybuilding can be useful) is a good thing but you if you dont do all the rest and functional training with it, you’re chances of injuries skyrocket, especially once you hit 30
Examples of functional training?
@@NoRockinMansLand I now train with sandbags, macebells, clubs, and kettlebells. These tools engage the entire body in connected movements, which has helped me increase strength and overall mobility-both of which are essential for preventing injuries. Additionally, this type of training develops strength across multiple axes, whereas bodybuilding exercises tend to focus on specific movement patterns that are less functional for combat sports.
@@Orsohobo I'm so glad you mentioned this because I'm actually getting into this style of training myself, it's fascinating. I'm doing calisthenics, soon to be adding heavy sandbag training to the mix. What do you do to train the grip/wrist? I'm thinking of using different deadhang variations and sand bucket training
Thank you for addressing this topic. I'm in my mid-30s and want to start judo, and I want to build my body up not break it down!
Overall great video. You are spot on with all the advice on injury prevention. It still might happen despite all that but it does decrease the risk quite a bit
I'm over 40, after a little under a year of practice I can say that these are solid principles to go by, thank you. Got injured by having someone land on my leg during Nagekomi, I went light and everyone I did randori with was super cool about it. Just worked on grip and kuzushi.
Theres always a work around, except if you get a concussion, thats requires time off .
How bad was the injury?
Love the background video.
Osu!
Nice to see how judo trains in the video you showed for beginners!! I am a kung-fu man!! But nice to see the difference!!
Oh man, ill show you guys a russian style wrestling class next time i talk about something wrestling related. Awesome stuff. Love kung fu!
Over 40 a word of advice. Stay away from guys in the 20s & white belt s do the uchi komi light randori it always have a good partner.
Osu!
talkin' about 40+ years old amateurs (no fights) are muay thai kickboxing and boxe much better about not getting injured? thanks
Whats your questions ?🤔
@@OGFITNESS if muai thai and boxe are less likely to get injurred to amateurs level rather than bjj/judo
Does judo and bjj go well together to open up a dojo??? Or Should I do something else
@@samo2072 very well imo, the best of both worlds. Judo, Bjj, and wrestling is the ultimate when it comes to grappling. The holy trinity of grappling.
Taking private lessons was the first thing I thought of.
Doc! Happy to hear from you!
@@OGFITNESS Hope you are doing well, Hong.
More i try to avoid injury more tensed i get and more liky i get injured. Ofcourse being relaxed helps big time although in judo things just happen sometimes. Broken toes, twisted knees, shoulder injuries. Keeping it playful helps but shit just will happen. Ps I broke my toe while landing on crash mat.
Shit does happen in Judo, but that can be said about any contact sport. It comes w the territory. The toe on a crash mat!🤷♂️🤦♂️, i actually lost mobility in my right ankle from all the falling and slamming my heal into the ground🤦♂️😂, working on getting it back.
U think it’s better to get in shape first have a strong core before starting judo being in shape will reduce risk of injuries am 41 be the way
nope, do both at the same time, both will feed into each other, getting in shape will be more motvating if you're already doing Judo, and doing Judo will also help you get into better shape.
There don't seem to be much freedom in judo classes, everyone has to do the same thing as the group. From my experience anyway
Generally no, but at my club i do what i want, within reasons and w respect of course.
@@OGFITNESS that's cause your top level 😀
I'm still a beginner
