    Started kickboxing a year ago, put 7 hours per week into it since and i just started judo last week , twice a week, around 2 hours per class, i love it. Despite having a good amount of sport, starting judo takes your body perception to another level, building different muscles, balance etc.. it's great !

      I would say the most annoying is the recurrent back soreness from the next day of trainning, and as you get older, that maybe puts a serious cons in the balance.
      In addition of the gym session, i will start going back to swimming or try to exercice more my lower back to compensate with muscles

    I generally prefer to teach osotogari third, after morote seionage and ogoshi. The problem with teaching osotogari first, especially if you're teaching TWO or more beginners, is that neither one is skilled at controlling the throw OR falling, and an uncontrolled fall from osotogari can be quite hard and result in uke's head hitting the mat. Better that they gain a little experience throwing and being thrown by a couple of techniques that are easier to control.
    Eugene also makes a good point: There's a skill to being a good uke, and far too many people take it for granted and just stand there when tori is practicing uchikomi. A good uke, though, will move or react in the way tori needs him/her to move and react to learn the technique and acquire muscle memory for maximum benefit.

    • @kusotare9559
      @kusotare9559 Рік тому +1

      @@TheModernVictorian Absolutely. Beginners may know ukemi from sitting, squatting, standing, and rolling, but are not used to the additional force of being thrown. If you have beginners throwing beginners, you really need to monitor them closely because neither one of them really knows what they're doing in those first couple of throws. A poorly executed osotogari on a novice can more easily result in a concussion than from most turn throws, IMO.

      eh, probably, but I mean if your brain has way more folds than mine does, it’s possible to learn it (or at least these) through visualization! It’s likely tho that you’d have to have good mind/body connection, like previously doing karate, dancing, skating, rock climbing etc. to be able to FEEL it.
      I get the impression that these folks here are really emphasizing feeling it -> success, so there’s also a good likelihood that Judo is harder to visualize than most, esp with so much emphasis on rapidly finding leverage on various sized people! Prolly should take classes imo lolol

    With due respect Sensei, the first thing you teach people in Judo are the ukemis. Also, O-soto-gari is a hard fall in your backs, and without ukemi training, the person being thrown can hurt his head. So, my suggestion is to follow Kodokan's approach, and teach ukemis and then de-ashi-barai.
    IMHO, the best way to avoid o-soto-gari is to step back and counter with o-soto-gari.
