I just know this guy will be a beast in a year or more, nothing feels better than winning your first tournament and have the feeling of you're getting better

[@AngelJudo]

I appreciate the support my man, stay tuned for more content!

No celebrating as a white belt… don’t ever take your eye off your opponent… bow looking. Don’t keep the same grip… slow down a bit… you have amazing potential.

[@AngelJudo]

Thank you very much

[@rac4058]

Isn't looking at your opponent while bowing disrespectful?

[@jacntt04]

@@rac4058 No, actually the bow, as it was meant by Jigoro Kano Shihan, should last 3 seconds, during which the judoka, if male, must look ahead. Only women, in theory, should bow looking down. Now, that's the theory, and we should keep in mind that judo was born in 1882 and that it comes from Ju-Jutsu, which is much, much older. Consequentially the culture was very different at the time and, personally, I think it would be pointless to judge.

"No celebrating as a white belt", stupid made-up rule.

[@sevasentinel4146]

This was pretty sweet, man. Great first showing; much better than mine. That Sasae at the end was really nice, too. I'm hoping to do much better at my next tournament.

[@AngelJudo]

Let me know how you do in your next tournament! Keep training hard and always ask higher belts what you can continue to improve on. The black belts at my dojo have done a lot for me in order to see me improve.

[@davidmerabyan1878]

What a beast 🔥

[@justaracoonchillinginatoilet69]

damnn nice kuzushi and control of your opponent, i like how fluid and dynamic your movements are, not stiff as white belts tend to be. you have potential. your first tournament went way way better than mine ahhaha, the first match ended so fast because she managed to get an over the shoulder grip and from then onwards i was fucked because she had the dominant grip and control over me, and as a newbie i didnt know how to appropriately respond in that situation

[@AngelJudo]

I appreciate the support man! Let me know how your competition goes, aim for gold!

[@justinflott5133]

Any tips on where to have kids take Judo classes in northeast Ohio? Can’t find a place. Everything is BJJ or Tae kwon do

[@AngelJudo]

In all honesty, if you are unable to find a Judo dojo then BJJ will work just fine as they will still be learning fundamental skills for grappling. Once they're able to build a foundation, it'll help to drill takedowns (which BJJ does also have). Hope this helps.

[@user-dm9dc2xn4c]

Are you really a white belt? That sasae was great!!

[@AngelJudo]

At the time of this tournament I was a white belt, but I am now a green belt. Thank you for the support!

[@MCMIKE08]

Nice fight bro 💪💪💪

[@AngelJudo]

Thanks man

[@rashidmartialarts9513]

Good techniques

[@AngelJudo]

Thank you

[@Memeshollanda]

You have some great timing and intuition. You should work on your grips alot tho. The right vs right default grip is a horrible habit if you get to a certain level

[@AngelJudo]

I appreciate the comment man, are you suggesting switching to left handed grip when up against a right handed judoka?

[@Memeshollanda]

@@AngelJudo yeah, switching to left grip is good if you get stuck. You undo your opponents grip that way and you can go for a right ippon seoi nage with the left grip. Also you can try to get your right hand over the top or underneath, this way you can easier to control your opponent and have more leverage.

[@AngelJudo]

@@Memeshollanda I feel you, after this tournament it did enhance my understanding of the art. The grips are an area ive been trying to drill in order to mix up different throws.

[@Memeshollanda]

@@AngelJudo keep working brother, its the base for randoori judo. Goodluck

Advice for a beginner in judo and thinking of competition?

[@AngelJudo]

Honestly what helped me most was just going in there for the experience. Going into competition allows you to figure out what your style is. As a beginner myself I just went in there and did my thing. Best of luck in competition!

[@deanobambino2378]

After your fights. Bow,shake hands, bow as you exit the contest area and bow when stepping off the mats.

[@deanobambino2378]

Have fun and show respect.

[@BW022]

Find a nearby dojo and go. They'd give you better advice as it will typically be 3-4 months before you'll have enough basics for your first competition. So much to learn, but training in the club is can be similar to actual competitions -- same area, officials, scoring, etc. The only difference is you know the people you are sparing with. They'll get your ready. Looking back 40 years ago, my only advice for your first match is... take your socks off. I was 12 and so nervous I forgot to take my socks off. LOL.

[@justaracoonchillinginatoilet69]

foot sweeps have the potential to end a match fast and out of nowhere. they are an insane tool and can catch your opponent off guard, even if it fails can always lead into other techniques from it

[@slickwilly6868]

When you picked your gi did you pick one size smaller to make it more fitted? If so is that the reason your gi skirt is smaller?

[@AngelJudo]

At the time, that gi was a size 4, which was most likely not for me already. It shrunk by the time of the tournament.

[@bradmiller2465]

[@minimanukuk]

Well done. Work on sliding your feet and stopping the bouncing. The higher grades you train with are probably already catching you more than they should because of that.

[@AngelJudo]

You're right, I've already been working on these adjustments but it is a good catch. Preciate the comment!

[@minimanukuk]

Good on you, keep it up. Also, that loss should’ve been a Waze Ari, rather than an Ippon, not saying you would’ve beaten him, but still… Keep us updated on your progression.
