Bjj class is hard to get good at judo because we drill takedowns safely and then roll starting on the ground because there are too many people in the room to safely start standing. So in competition, everything on the ground feels normal and everything on the feet feels crazy. I just volunteered and was a ring coordinator at a tap cancer out event. The judo/wrestling was usually at a lower level than their ground game. Like, blue belt on the ground white belt on their feet. Brown belt on the ground, blue belt on their feet. If that makes sense? Is there a way to start on the feet without smashing everyone’s head into each other? It’s a tight room 😢

can try making subgroups, sometimes my gym does groups of 3 or 4 if it gets crowded enough. and for starting standing, we usually do that by having a limited number of pairs on the mat and everyone else lined up on the wall, first to score stays in and keep cycling thru.

As I said before, Judo is very technical. This is why it works. Simple physics. But, as my sensei once told me. You'll learn by feeling, and feel by doing. People who have never felt nikajou thinks it's a joke until the lightning enters your wrist and then your elbow 😂

Very interesting. So you need to teach the judoka to ask the question and think about the right things first before you teach them to play the situation. A newer player or someone who doesn't usually verbalise their dilemmas outside face to face in the moment doesn't necessarily think about those details that are core knowledge to the situation. I just noticed the logo was rebranded. I must say I really found the line up satisfying in the previous where the S and H were lined up. Fitness world has the wrong questions and assumptions all the time. It's really easy to tell someone how to train if they manage to tell you their actual goals and available schedule. But often times the goal is masked by what they think they should want, because they've got an impression without knowing the reasons. And tech world is weird in that people truly don't know, even the ones inside the tech, what's available so they ask for the best thing they know or can come up with until someone explains that there's a better way to do it. And I've found that even if you were smart and fairly informed about a subject, without knowing the specific terminology and subset, it's next to impossible to even search for what you should be doing - you don't know the words to use or how to put together the search and you get totally useless results. What I most hate though, is that if I really try to solve my problem until I can't figure out a way forward and research it and then ask the difficult question, nobody is able to answer. Meanwhile a "dumb" question like "what's the best X" gets answered in seconds even though the question itself is already totally wrong. Although often times you also see the answer being wrong and not asking for more information, so I guess nothing lost, nothing gained. In judo I'm in the happy place where I don't need to ask questions yet, I just need a couple of years more and learn the things taught. And if I have a partner that repeatedly punishes me easily, they either tell me what I'm doing wrong right away after, or I can ask them. The person who gives you tough time probably knows exactly what and why. At least in the clubs I've been to the more skilled judoka almost automatically tells you what you're doing wrong because they don't want freebies, it's not as effective practice to them.

[@StuntTriple]

Not doing enough self research or troubleshooting of moves is too common. I'll usually practice a technique on my own for a few weeks before I seek advice.

[@mengmao5033]

That should depend on your level. White belts most likely wouldn't benefit from staying off on their own working on a technique without regular supervision from coaches. It's so easy at that level to misremember details to a technique and engrain the wrong habits
