Judo

Hi all!

We have just passed 100 subscribers (massive number I know haha) and I thought it would be a good opportunity to touch base and see what we should do here to increase engagement.

As most of you likely know, I am still a mod over at "the other site" and, though I have strong feelings about what they are doing as a company, I feel the community there has a lot of good people so I intend to continue to perform that role (the "glorified janitor" as one user kindly pointed out).

Having said that, I don't want this place to just be a mirror-universe version of r/judo. Lemmy and similar platforms are built around community first and foremost, and I would love to see that side of things grow.

Access to automated mod tools etc. is obviously much more primitive over here (feel free to leave suggestions if you have any) so automated posts and such are likely to be more difficult for now, but is there anything y'all wish we could do here?

Obviously one of the big draws of r/judo is the amazing wiki that Geschichtenerzaehler has put together and I have no intention of stealing that for here (though I'd be happy to copy it here if he was okay with it of course). We don't have anything like that, however I'd love to hear what you all think we could do to make this more than just a dumping ground of a few videos here and there.

Cheers!

I'm a green belt and I was allowed to teach a new white belt his first throws. It was so exciting and rewarding when he pulled off a good ogoshi.

One of my students sent me this link and I think I'll be digging into the details for ages.

Watching this is like seeing "my game" but actually performed properly haha

Great use of similar entries to set up throws in different directions, depending on uke's reactions.

Edit: throws OR techniques.

I'm trying to get better at tai otoshi :)

According to this guy these mobility tests/exercises can protect your knees.

Also increasing ankle flexibility allows development of the Soleus muscle, which he claims has the strongest pull of any muscle in the body.

I've had bad ankle mobility for years and noticed an immediate improvement in range after just 1 set (on either side) of the first exercise demonstrated.

Came across this again while looking for a video for a student.

Some absolutely amazing detail and movement. Every time I watch it I get something new.

Just a short demo of right-on-right cross grip and then seoi nage

Anyone going to the US Open in 3 weeks?

On episode 82 of Tatami Talk. We open up congratulating Anthony on getting his Brazilian Jiu Jitsu blue belt. We get his thoughts on reaching a color belt rank and what his goals are in the future in BJJ. Then we talk about the European Judo Union putting out their referee exam online for the public to take. Anthony gives us his thoughts and experience taking the test and how he did on it. We end the episode talking about a very hard question for any martial artist. Whether it's a striking or grappling martial art. How to choose when to leave, move on or transfer to a new dojo. What are some of the things to consider before you leave? Should you talk to your instructor before you decide to go? Is it possible for you to train in the same martial arts, if you do decide to leave? As well as some other hard questions you must ask yourself when choosing a new dojo.

I just realized nobody in my dojo smells like cigarettes. It makes sense, and I'm curious what others have experienced.

Really curious to know :)

I had been practicing 3 years, but had a 6 year pause, but started again last year. Got into judo 'cause my big brother did judo.

Extremely underrated channel.

This is one of my favorite videos by Shintaro Higashi.

Lots of great throws. Really interested in the O Soto Gari grips at 3:34, going to have to give that a try at randori.

In anticipation of Reddit's eventual arrival at the end of it's product life cycle, what do we want to see here in Lemmy.world?

Here's an image summarizing how Lemmy works

Here's Lemmy's Starter Guide post

r/judo had a weekly white belt thread that I think we should carry over. Perhaps we should do other weekly topics? Maybe a technique of the week?

Also is there anything we can do for re-occurring sub topics like nogi, newaza/bjj, self defense, and getting started / first class expectations / club evaluations?

Because we don't have flairs here (at least not yet), I thought it would be fun to know :) I'm 4th kyu

I personally like harai goshi and tai otoshi, but my newest favorite throw gotta be sumi gaeshi from this position.

That's gonna hurt.
