When'd you start? And is it okay for someone around my age to start?
By any chance, did you just watch Redbelt? Movie made me want to get back into martial arts.
For like a day.

Virtua Fighter 4 evo did make me want to attempt to learn Judo because I really liked Goh. That never happened.

I don't really see the problem with learning at your age. I mean, you probably can't go into Tiger Sholman's and learn, but you probably wouldn't want to.
All nerds do. All nerds will still fall down and play dead when threatened.:lol

VAN DAMME ACTUALLY BEAT THOSE DUDES UP
IT'S REAL TO ME, DAMN IT
Man, that was a hell of a thread bump the other day here.Yeah. Crazy 2009 thread bump. What kind of nimrod does that?
Boxing is a fucking hell of a cardio workout. Or any kind of stand up sparring, for that matter. Always found ground work to be more taxing on your muscles and less on the cardio system.You've been grinding with the wrong dudes, breh. :creepycolismiley
The last time I was physical with someone I almost ruined my life and I won't be physical with someone ever again because of that.
So basically bet all you got on PD.
I can't help but picturing a bunch of slightly overweight or overtly skinny unambitious lifetime B-teamers trying to learn Judo so they stop being forced off of full train cars because driving isn't an option when your life is devoted to 100%'ing the Witcher.
Sorry Bore, that's what this thread screams to me.
Next up on UFC
Vularai vs PD in the sissy slapfight of the century!!!!

:wtf Why would you come into this thread and insult people? Boogie for instance isn't either. Neither is Esch or Mupepe. What is wrong with you? :-\
Jujutsu often has the learner just repeat the same moves without application, and that's not my style.

You'll be doing the same thing with Judo, FYI. If it's a traditional (Kodokan) dojo, you'd be doing nothing but Uchikomi and sweeps for six months straight.
Sounds similar to my dads stories about high school wrestling back in the day.
Yeah, he played football as a lineman and was a wrestler, too. For this reason he hates "pro wrasslin" :lol
That sounds brutal.

It depends on you and the team, really. Like my freshman year I didn't have to worry about weight control because I was a pretty comfortable 140. But a sophomore ahead of me was really more of a natural 140, lost to me in a match for the weight class and had to suffer pretty bad to get down to 135, sometimes using a sauna etc. But then i grew a couple inches and put on some muscle to get some varsity playtime in 10th grade, around 175ish. Then wrestling came and i had to drop a lot of pounds to get to 160 since I couldn't beat the guy at 175. The weight loss itself wasn't that bad cause you eat like garbage during football season, but it sucks having to maintain. The less self control you show, the more awful it is having to rush to a deadline for a match.
Every fighter has a 'natural' weight that they're probably best at. You can grow into a higher one with age, or slim down into another class and rehydrate if you're a boxer, but it can be a pain in the ass on top of everything else you're trying to do.

Depends on the school. If the school is competition/self-defense oriented, sure they'll throw you into the fire much earlier which IMHO is wrong -- I've seen dudes in competitions bitch and moan about not getting points on their sloppy-ass throws when all they're doing is going by brute force -- no kuzushi, no follow-through. With three years of Judo behind me, I thought I knew my shit when I trained in a real-ass Judo dojo in Osaka... I got my ass told because my form was STILL sloppy. As with every martial art, gotta get the basics down first.Jujutsu often has the learner just repeat the same moves without application, and that's not my style.

What about Randori.
Newaza is also a big thing for me thanks. Really good input. I'll look into Judo after one more year of MT. I want to get solid with MT before I lump judo onto it.I'm not really into competition because I'm a tiny dude (5'4") and always get matched up with women which (this sounds super sexist and fucked up) makes me not go as hard on them. If it's open weight I'm down but otherwise I have to bulk up a little bit. I do like watching competition vids though, here are some quick ones I pulled out of my history:
Got any great judo videos you'd like to share? Competition vids would be great. Always love those.

Also, trying to control impact in a spar is something else.

Yeah, this. Especially as you get more tired out, it becomes exponentially more difficult to control. Fortunately, the only time I've been pushed that hard was sparring against black belts, and they were better about blocking and they were also better about ablating damage.

Don't worry, Boogie! He said "j/k" so we know he's not just a big blowhard bully piece of shit who can only be this brave with anonymity.
j/k!
See, it works for me too!
