I'm moving to Columbus soon and there are some other schools down there. Should I restart or try a new art? Mooshoo , Jan 2, Do you train anything else? Rod1 , Jan 2, It's your martial arts journey, man. Do what you think you should to get what you want out of your training experience.
Im biased but I would say BJJ. Columbus where? I know some people in GA. Joined: Aug 27, Messages: 10, Likes Received: 0. There are at least like ten different cities in the US called Columbus, so I'm not sure if I can recommend you a school but I would suggest you try BJJ and see if you like it. I originally started doing Judo at a club that practiced only twice a week and was very "traditional" too. I found the more relaxed atmosphere of the BJJ school refreshing.

I like a ration of ever 3 real throws, it should follow by 10 more "non-landing" throw. This way, you can train how to set up that throw more and not to let your body to hit on the ground that much. After all, after a certain point, it's just simple "gravity".
If you can make your opponent's body to be off balance, whether you continue to throw him or not is not that important IMO. LaFon has gone over the issues with break falls he was the USA national coach and the fact that most judoka should be learning rolls and cartwheels instead and that's what you see in the Olympics.
Wrestlers do it all the time. But breaking an ankle during newaza is a new one. Frodocious , Apr 21, I was thinking about doing Judo because it's available at my school, but now I'm having doubts. I've had 0 injuries from Karate and I've never broken a bone in my life, I don't want to ruin a good thing I guess.
Maybe I'll start doing soccer again Zinowor , Apr 21, You must log in or sign up to reply here. Show Ignored Content. Share This Page. When you start out on this budo journey you find out that you are getting thrown down and submitted at will. This happens from the very first day, even if they do it calmly and gentle. But as time progresses and you hang in their it will take them longer for you to get tapped and are getting to lose les and lesser until the table switches.
And then when you put in the effort and the willpower you will eventually start winning some matches against those that you were unable to beat before. And from time to time you are the one that throws and submits guys in class. Judo and Jiu Jitsu teaches you the value of hard work, because you actually get to see the fruits of your labour every time you spar, the rotten and the healthy ones.
This lesson in Jiu Jitsu and Judo can be taken and applied to all areas of your life. Getting good at Judo and Jiu Jitsu is just like getting good at anything else, you need to stay the path, be consistent, and practice mindfully. Your progress in Judo and Jiu Jitsu is an allegory for progress in life. There is no short cut. Not many people have the same fortune as I had, to start at a young age with martial arts five years old. My normal week was doing school.
As years passed by, I played less and trained more and more, until I just trained through all week. At some point I even trained in the morning in-between the school break and after school. In that period I learned a lot of persistence and grinding.
Months I was learning some type of grip with Judo which got me lost a lot of matches at the gym. I was getting tossed across the matt like a rag doll. There were many days that I dreaded of going to class knowing that I am going to get my butt handed to me when I spar. As my nightmare progresses so did my skills, and you know what?.. I started throwing people with my new technique. Finally it starts to evolve in a nice sequence.
Paradoxically, one of the reasons we may have fewer people doing judo is that we make them feel like such losers and traitors when they quit. I was listening to the first cut of the More Than Ordinary podcast where my daughter, Julia, was giving advice to her niece on middle school. I did judo when I was little and then I quit but it really helped me in soccer because I had some athletic skills.
Julia is in Texas right now for a soccer game with her university team. Posted by Dr.
