Sorry, friend. Just pretend I used “gameplans”, “strategies” or somesuch.

When I watched the latest one I suddenly realized I am bored with sub only ebi style. The meta has changed to the point where many of the matches are boring as fuck stallfests waiting for overtime. There are of course people who go for it, but it feels like fewer and fewer do. The tag team...

Trying to avoid ippon is the main reason for injuries in my opinion. Not necessarily due to mid throw acrobatics but rather through resisting the throw for too long. I have great ukemi and am always selected as uke because I can make anyone look good while landing with relaxed style. That...

One of the most complete packages I’ve seen on shrimping. I like your formating and structure.

Fair points there QingTian. Good writeup. I never really developed my tai otoshi outside of the scenarios where 50/50 outer toes were available, choosing to rely on uchi mata or seoi instead.

I have nothing to contribute, but just wanted to say I enjoy reading the discussion.

Good stuff! Good luck with your channel.

I prefer the 50/50 Adams style straight tai otoshi to the 30/70 weight distribution that is classically taught. Easier to get into and easier to execute with proper explosiveness imho. To the point that I sometimes just feel it coming and then do it without thinking about it. I remember...

He says to pull the elbow back, which is a commonly taught variation that will get you a very quick tap. It is also a very popular way to finish the one hand choke. Here is Lachlan Giles doing it:

Not even remotely.

I’ve always found that it is the lower level guys who disparage other arts. The good players, like the apex predators they are, rarely seem to feel the need to bark like the small dogs do.

When I was younger it was uchi mata. I had a much more dependable seoi nage, but it always felt marvelous to hit an effortless uchi mata where i kept standing. Nowadays it is sasae tsurikomi ashi. Mostly because I only do submission grappling and MMA. It used to be the glue that kept my judo...

Let me make it easier for you. “Also, its [sic] a question not a statement of fact” Your president asking and not stating does not make it any less stupid.

It’s hilarious how you perceive it to be less embarrassing that it was a question. Dude is a grown man who didn’t understand why that wasn’t a viable solution. No way to spin that shit.

As far as I know, it has always been legal. The ongoing joke tends to be that it attacks the elbow (legal) so hard that your shoulder breaks. Mark Huizinga made a career out of using it to turn over opponents.

Once you start the no gi judo path, you tend to end up either in a wrestling room or doing submission grappling. Once the gi goes, it is just too identical to other alternatives to gain any traction among people. This also combined with a general distaste for no gi in the sport’s governing...

Beautiful sweeps from Machida indeed. I love sasae to the underhook / lapel grip side. Low risk, high reward. There’s a Russian dude, Islam Makhachev, who is an absolute killer with it in the UFC now. He uses a cross grip version too, I believe.

Every country that has tried the isolation of key individuals instead of the populace at large has had to move away from that for the most part. It is sad to see just how dysfunctional the US is when it comes to this. It really makes me appreciate living in a functioning country during these...

Picked up the kimura one. Hoping to pick up something new.

Two things I have taken from this thread other than the OT. - Some Americans vastly underestimate the health care of other western countries. You’d have to threaten me at gunpoint to have the American system instead of my socialized (what a scary word!) health care. - Kenpeters has some sort...
