>>215864>Are you excited for the return of (single) leg grabs?quick rundown?
>>215873Leg grabs are returning in 2025 in japan open
>>215874this some kind of trial run? are the IJF going to watch the tourny and be like "no no no, this looks too much like wrestling" and ban leg grabs again?
>>215864Is breaking your finger as common as people joke about?>T. Wrestler look for something to do
>>215927no, tearing a nail or getting nail problems is prevalent though
>>215927hygiene standards are high in martial arts, like all of them. so no
>>215913I hope not. I'm 5'7 so I really need that shit. I heard a rumor that is related to the somewhat diminished Russian (and surrounding nations) presence in Judo do to the war and whatnot. The japs and the frenchies no longer feel threatened by them so naturally the wrestling side of judo is up for grabs, "olympically" speaking
>>215927Breaking? No. Sprains are common however.>t. Sprained finger and two toes in the past year
>>216006>The japs and the frenchies no longer feel threatened by them so naturally the wrestling side of judo is up for grabs
>>215864Anyone here know anything about the judo scene in Los Angeles? Which schools are both competent and injury-averse? I'm trying to talk my friend into training so he'll be more fun to throw around on holidays but he's getting old and has some injuries from other physical activities.
>>216085In my experience pain comes from wanting to winOnly retards push an old man ton his limitIf your friend prioritizes landing safely he's safeAlso avoid ukeing for tai otoshiBut always be uke
>>216087>In my experience pain comes from wanting to win>Only retards push an old man ton his limitA novice has very few tools to assess that and sometimes old men need to be told to not push themselves to their old limits anymore.
>>216115>A novice has very few tools to assess thatmy instructors push grips and breakfalls hard and it works for mei have other hobbies as well so i prioritize falling safely to the detriment to my ability to grapple effectively
>>216087pain comes from the dumbass that trains 5x a week but still has shit randori and wins through pure strength and boderline tackling and stiff arming you
>>216085if it's a good school the injury rate should be low and horror stories should be almost non existent. ALMOST
>>216085I heard good things about legion
>>216136It's interesting when you think of horror stories there's almost always an obese person on one side of it
>>216135Right I mean any competitive game right now there's plenty of 1000x games per season played and hardstuck in the same divisionI still blame the cobra kai win at all costs mentalityI for one get bigger whiplash the harder I try when I invariably get osoto'd>>216151On the other hand the obese guy at my gym often fucks himself up, all I have to do is survive and 3 minutes later he looks like he was waterboarded while wrestling with a python in a hotbox in peak summer
