I sucked today in Judo. I had the longest practice I've had, but a lot of it was kids practice. First of all a lot of the little kids were super chatty and annoying so I spent a lot of time breaking up talkative pairs, or pulling kids aside for swearing then talking back to me. ABSOLUTELY unacceptable in the dojo. Not only is it rude, but talking ( Read more... )

ABSOLUTELY unacceptable in the dojo. Not only is it rude, but talking too much in practice gets people injured. If you aren't focused on the mat someone is going to accidently smash into you. That's what I actually should have been doing.

You should do that. But at the last second before they have time to move out of the way, shout, "Here comes the pain!" Then slam into them as hard as you can. And when they look up at you, dazed, flex your bicep, glare at them, and walk off. You know you want to.

Sumi Gaeshi though? Crazy. I've never done that throw or even seen anyone practice it. Had you been practicing it before or was it just like out of nowhere?

Pike used to use it at Kent schools all the time, he'd just bend over and let me take a high grip and smash him.

I haven't used it excessively before. In fact no one has even taught it to me, but I figured it was better for me than Tomoe Nage (which I've tried and never gotten off), and I was reading about it yesterday and figured it would work there.

Heh. All he ever did to me was that stupid thing where he grabbed his own lapel and tried to bait me. So usually I just pushed his elbow away and easily took the kouchi taoshi. That or I let him get his own grip then went countered with kosoto gake when he went for a throw. I don't recall him ever trying sacrifice throws against me. He might have done them against someone else without me noticing or caring, though...
