is judo practical in real life?

[bodhisattva]

I REALLY DON'T THINK THAT ANYBODY TAKES THIS STUFF SERIOUSLY. BUT THAT MEANS THAT IF YOU ARE JUST KIDDING ALSO, THAT YOU MAY IN FACT BE A SERIAL KILLER. BY YOUR SUBCONCIOUS NEED TO BE CAUGHT YOU ARE EXPOSING YOUR PERVERTED MENTALITY AS A FORM OF CONFESSION.

I HAVE NOTICED THAT MARTIAL ARTS AND FORUMS IN PARTICULAR ATTRACT ALOT OF WANNA BE'S AND INSECURE TYPES. wHAT IS IT THAT MAKES YOU SUCH A WARRIOR/ MARTIAL ARTIST ANYWAY. ARE YOU ALWAYS SO SERIOUS?

Hardly.

I could just as easily say you might be a serial killer because you insist on annoying us with all caps type.

If you don't see your inner tendency for evil, you should look a little harder. We all have it. Everyone of us. The guy who says he doesn't is merely kidding himself.

Generally, a person who is aware of all of his tendencies is far less dangerous/worrisome than a person who has not yet explored himself totally.

"BY YOUR SUBCONCIOUS NEED TO BE CAUGHT YOU ARE EXPOSING YOUR PERVERTED MENTALITY AS A FORM OF CONFESSION"

Obviously you watch way too much TV.

I was at one time a small cog on the wheel of the finest war machine in the history of the world. I do not claim to be an artist, I am a farmer... with artistic tendencies.

Judo, IMO, is an effective grappling style in its own place in the martial arts. Most of the judo that the public has seen was probably Olympic judo, which can be bias at times. But the self-defense judo that Kano invented in 1882, can be extremely powerful at the hands of someone who knows what they're doing. Its main objective is to throw your opponent down but it has some groundwork built into it as well, just not as thorough as say BJJ. So yes, I think you should check out the judo school near your location. Besides, even if your grappling doesn't improve, I'm sure it'll somehow "evolve" your current TKD status.

Bjj Is The Same As The Early Judo That Kano First Presented Back In The 1880's. Same Thing. Graceies Didn't Invent Shit. Japanese Immigrants To Brazil Brought Judo. Notice No Punching, Kicking Etc...
Plus Everbody Knows That Judo Guys Beat Everybody Else Up!
Simple Fact. Except In The U.s.a.they Are Too Caught Up In The Bowing And Subserviance To Change Along With The Times. So They Plod Along Trying To Learn Movement While Standing Still.

Just because you beat yourself off, don't extrapolate too much!

How is your Bow-fear therapy going?

Is your thinking progressive?

This may be why the U.S doesn't do too well in judo. Or do you have anything smart to say?

This is your 'proof'? Wow, a website that says the same crazy, fearful, shit-eating-excuse making crap that you do. That sure is 'proof' alright. So if I find some website that claims space aliens make crop circles and steal farmers' toenails for scientific experimentation I guess that would 'prove' its true, right? Are you unfamiliar with 'the internet' or something?

Making excuses and acting like some kind of xenophobic pissy little coward will do nothing to advance your cause, unless your cause is to continue to present yourself as a fucking nutcase.

He has a valid point, not that it's the reason American Judo sucks but that bowing is an act of obeisance.

The roots of bowing down in religon can not be denied. It's interesting that Jesus himself condemed the Jews of his day for their keeping TRADITIONS that had no basis in Judaism. Not unlike "Martial" artists today that have no clue about the Roman god of war. LOL Mars.

Jubaji =armchair Quarterback. Big Bag Of Gas!

NOTICE,ONCE AGAIN, THAT I SAID "SMART".
WHICH PART DO YOU DISAGREE WITH? I KNOW THAT YOU ARE ILL-MANNERED AND POORLY BRED, SO IT MUST BE THE "MISS MANNERS" PART!

YOU SUCK.

I SUPPOSE THE GUY DOESN'T HAVE A RIGHT TO STATE HIS OPINION ABOUT A SPORT HE HAS BEEN INVOLVED WITH FOR 50 YEARS.
JUST BECAUSE HE IS A REGESTERED COACH AND HAS BEEN PRODUCING CHAMPIONS FOR YEARS AND YEARS THAT DOESN'T ENTITLE HIM TO "BUCK THE SYSTEM".
I AM SURE THE YOU JUBAJI ARE ALOT SMARTER THEN EVERYBODY ELSE.
SO WE SHOULD ALL GIVE UP ON ANYBODY ELSE AND HANG ON YOUR EVERY WORD.
WHAT IS IT JUBAJI THAT MAKES YOU SO CRITICAL ALL THE TIME? DO YOU HAVE ANY THING SMART TO ADD? WHAT MAKES YOU SUCH AN EXPERT ESPECIALLY ON JUDO???
I THINK ITS ABOUT TIME YOU CONFESS UP! ARMCHAIR QUARTERBACK!

[GREENTHINKS]

SEE TANTO HAS AN OPEN MIND AND IS AT LEAST WILLING TO ENTERTAIN THE THOUGHT THAT SOME OF THIS MAY BE TRUE. IT IS AT LEAST PART OF THE REASON FOR POOR PERFORMANCE IN AMERICAN JUDO.
LOOK AT THE OTHER SPORTS THAT DO WELL LIKE THE AMERICAN WRESTLING PROGRAM, WHICH DOESN'T REQUIRE THE B.S. THAT JUDO DOES. IT WOULD BE HUMILIATION IF THEIR RECORD MATCHED THAT OF JUDO.

AMERICANS EXCELL PRETTY MUCH AT ALL THE OTHER SPORTS. WHY THE DISCREPANCY?
THERE MAY BE MYRIAD REASONS WHY THE SHINTO STUFF DOESN'T PLAY WELL OVER HERE.

ALOT OFPEOPLE ARE TURNED OFF BECAUSE:
THEY DON'T WANT THEIR KIDS EXPOSED TO THE STUFF.
THEY DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE WATCHING PEOPLE BEHAVE THUSLY
ADVERTISERS CAN'T BACK IT BECAUSE IT TURNS PEOPLE OFF.
SEPERATION OF CHURCH AND STATE KEEPS IT OUT OF SCHOOLS, AND RIGHTLY SO

I have known for some time that MOST traditions have roots in nonchristian religion. It matters very little to me if it is bowing to ancestors, images or blowing out candles on a "birthday" cake.

We can easily keep the traditions of our own ancestors while attempting to expose the faults of the traditions of others. Doesn't make it right though, does it? So, it comes down to determining the proper standard by which to judge all traditions. Not just the ones that you feel are causing the poor standards in American olympic Judo. So, without the calibrated standard by which to measure we have at best only our opinions.

If the words themselves mean anything the do in Judo means it is a "Way" of life. A gentle way. For someone that has fifty years in the way I'm semisurprised you don't roll better with whatever gets thrown at you. jubaji is nothing to you. How can he get this kind of reaction from you? LOL Are you that weak in your judo that you do not see a way to respond that will off balance HIM?

All the best!

[jubaji]

The roots of bowing down in religon can not be denied.

Only if one wishes to stretch the definition of religion to the absurd. Which religion and where, when? Its a pointless issue.

Only a loser (yeah, I mean greenshit) looks so desperately for something other than himself to blame when he can't get it done.

The tendency towards cowardice in the weak minded just makes it all the more likely that the lowest resort to such disgraceful antics.

My, how clever. The first five times you said that it was even more clever.
