M7m

Pull my finger....

[Tom Yum]

i wasn't talking to you. but everything is about you right?

No, its all about you M7M. Really it is...

Actually buddy, BJJ, GJJ, GBJ is all "JUDO" Some judo schools, as you point out, emphasize newaza a lot more than others. Don't buy it for the name or get confused about what's what. Enjoy your judo even if it's been uprooted and transplanted.

It's all good...

If you want to know the Japanese names for HIP throws and Reaping throws I'm sure you can find them....

See; JUDO.

Well, from a quick look at the technique pages on this site

The Gokyo of Kodokan Judo: Videos of 40 Throwing Techniques

I think we've been training Uki-goshi, Osoto-gari, O-goshi, and Seoi-nage. I'm a judoka and I didn't even know it!

And I take your point that the ground grappling techniques we are doing are also Judo, but I haven't yet started looking up the Japanese names for these (except for the "kimura" ... or is that an "ude garami"?).

Maybe they ought to replace the names "Judo" and "BJJ" with "Original Judo" and "Judo Concepts": I'm sure THAT would make everything clear once and for all [grin]. Although we'd have to figure out which would be which, as I understand that BJJ derives from an older style of Judo than that taught at most Judo schools today.

Hahahahaha....

Yup. The concepts that Helio takes credit for came from Kano... It's safe to say he took what was useful and made it his own.

[jubaji]

Very 'Japanese' in that fashion.

[M7M]

You were talking to me. Right, college boy?

for an old guy who keeps crying about attitude and class, you sure are self conscious...like a lady.

[M7M]

you know, the other day I was going down on your girlfriend, and I said jeez you got a big pussy...jeez you got a big pussy. She said why did you say that twice? I said - I didn't.

did you get that from a book published in the 80's? or MTV rap fighting or something? or are you just lonely and need someone to talk to?

[M7M]

I got tired of wasting my time breaking apart your threads.

If you post something valuable I will be sure to quote in properly, until then you will just have to figure it out.

cut & pasting the quoting the command is too much for you to handle?

[M7M]

That's a coincidence, I have two BAs and an MA. Pretty similar!


I wonder about Grandmaster Thumb Lock there!

you're obviously the Grandmaster of Nutswinging. congrats

[M7M]

No, its all about you M7M. Really it is...

w/e cheerleader.

[M7M]

plenty of stuff works on me, just nothing that requires me to do something I'm not going to do.

that is what makes it a low probability technique. If they have to do something first before you can do it, then it's probably not something you should be counting on in a real life fight.


A lot of things fail when you no longer have the option of tapping. Pressure point fail, joint locks fail, heck most fancy stuff fails way too much, doesn't mean you may never get the chance to use it, just that it shouldn't be considered a primary technique.

until you know what it is first, you should refrain from commenting. oh wait, you're the toughest guy in the world, i forgot.

ROFL

Original Judo and Judo concepts?

GJJ is Helio Gracie's interpretation of Judo?

End of discussion, I've solved this riddle for you all.

It's not GJJ nor Judo.

It's Jeet Kune Do.

Thank you and good night. You all have a good one, except M7M.

Nah j/k, you have a good one, too.

[jubaji]

you're obviously the Grandmaster of Nutswinging. congrats

What? I thought you admired higher education. What happened?

[jubaji]

...like a lady.

I guess that's another subject you only know about in theory...

No way man, I've got her to talk to. I said to her just the other day...
"you know, I'd like a little pussy". She said "Me too, mine's as big as a house".
