ive been out for about 6 weeks with a hip adductor strain and it sucks because no one has checked in on me. Feels shitty because I always try to be that guy to make sure everyone is doing well and feeling uplifted....
Cesar's story is heartbreaking 💔 I legit teared up for you, Bro. I served 2 tours in Iraq during the Iraq War and the ISIS campaign, and I have a son and just the thought of my young son being in that environment like yours is had me empathizing hard for you. I wish you get success in recovering your son and peace going forward. Stay strong bro, Coach Gang supports you.
Very good topic. The judo club I train at I've honestly made some excellently amazing good friends from different backgrounds and religions. One of my best judo friends iv made is a 61 year old man who is a 5-degree black belt who still trains 😂. I think the judo mentality is way better and open and friendly they don't hold back on teaching me on anything.
I love my gym, we are pretty much getting to be good friends. We also have a bunch of us who are mid 30’s and hurt all the time so we are so we get along well 😂
I feel very lucky that my core dojo group are all good friends, we've known each other for a decade. But it definitely took a while. I don't begrudge anyone who just wants to show up and get reps.
Lol I kinda laughed at the thought "someone from the dojo should reach out if you haven't been there for two weeks" when I projected it to personal life outside judo and thought how it'd be a miracle if someone reached out after weeks of being absent. I live in Finland though. But it made me think about this Steven Wilson album too, that was basically a theme album around a person in the news article: a young attractive woman with friends was found dead in her apartment in a big city after having been dead there for two years. I love university judo club because it's just a rather limited group of people who seek for learning and are also somewhat inclined to teaching. It's a wonderful atmosphere because there's none of that bro attitude, especially when it's not a class full of beginners anymore, people don't feel like they're in a new uncertain positive environment. The roles are set, you don't need to gauge if you should feel more authorative than this other white belt so people don't get into that trying to up one another game. Some guys have higher belts or have been doing it for longer, everyone is a friendly and learning. You really do get a compliment when you hit that new technique well. I don't know if it's been me building that up (I used to play competitive video games in this group of somewhat toxic people and I hated the negative atmosphere and just started complimenting cheering the team after a good round or someone for important or unusually good play and it improved the atmosphere), but I learned to kinda naturally give compliments where compliment is due. In judo it's so easy to compliment when you're trying to learn a technique and suddenly your partner does it without effort and really smooth, it's so easy to go "now that felt great, so effortless, you nailed it". Thinking back I feel like there started to be quite a few more of those compliments around, I think people just caught on to it. Like getting feedback surely reinforces the positive learning, I trust it leaves a stronger feel in the backbone for how the throw should feel like. I can relate to the rival philosophy from when I started. I'm fairly tall, not unusually, but on the taller side especially in judo where it seems like you maybe have slightly shorter people on average, and there was this one guy who was a head taller than I. So we would always partner up and felt that we were just kinda a bit similar people, a bit shy, competitive and curious. I hated doing randori with him because he had those long limbs, it was difficult to throw that much taller person and he wasn't weak either, so it was difficult for me. But it also felt like he was the best partner for me to give a challenge, because now that I practice with a guy that's like two heads shorter it's another set of difficulties but it's way too easy to overpower him so it doesn't force me to focus on the technique as much. We never became friends outside the dojo but at the dojo we acted like friends. And like with friends you don't want to get your ass kicked by them so we both put effort into fighting each other. And we were so noobs that we didn't know how to do light randori or like not give close to 100% to it, in fact I still struggle figuring out how to pull back in randori.
Hi Shintaro, what is the best judo takedown or grappling Takedown thats fastest straight into a rear naked choke? I like ogoshi just wondering if theres something better to get rear naked choke in fastest? Thanks
why no friends at dojo? I understand no friends at work since you are there to make money and forced to work together, but at the dojo if you don't like the people there then you can easily quit and go to another, unlike work

Mate that really sucks. I know how it feels, happens all the time. People won't the the value of a salt until it is absent. God bless ya
How are you doing?
You doing better bro?
I’ll spar you
Daamm, your show is really good. I'm turning into a judo lover because of your channel. Brasil will kick ass at the olimpics. Go Mayra Aguiaaaar

I take the same mindset I brought from wrestling, in order of priorities 1. Learn. 2. Get good. 3. Get acquainted with the guys I train with.

If a guy makes someone's husband cry... probably back of their mind they're like why is my husband so weak
No friends at dojo. No friends at work. Be cordial, be friendly but we are not friends (in most instances... There are exceptions of course)

If my wife judged me on my judo/jiujitsu prowess… I’d been single along time ago.
Vinny is strong 💪
Solution: invite people to watch ufc fights over the weekend
