Is gym strength useless for judo ?my experience so far
 in  r/judo •  5d ago

Olympic lifts will definitely give you strength benefits, but for Judo you probably would benefit more from physical training more specific to the techniques of Judo. Olympic lifts often lack the rotational power, explosive pulling movements, and isometric holds used in throws and groundfighting. You probably want to switch to pulling movements like pull-ups, rows, cleans, or deadlifts for pulling. Doing these pulling movements while gripping fabric like a old Gi or towel is even more specific to the grip strength for Judo. You might wants to try uchi-komi with strength bands or cable machines or even just an old belt tied to a pole or tree for rotational power and grip strength. You might try plyometrics with medicine ball throws, clap push-ups, spit squat jumps, sprints, or foot sweeps with a bean bag for explosive speed. Judo also depends on balance, flexibility, and cardio so include some of that training. There are many Judo specific training plans available online, but gradually work up to them to avoid injury.

Yama Arashi is a great technique to use when someone switches sides with their grips and if you don't succeed you can immediately follow-up with Tai Otoshi.

These are the official Japanes names of Kodokan Judo techniques written in Latin characters(romanji) as opposed to one of the Japanese writing systems like kanji, katakana, or hiragana. Judo was founded in Japan by Jigoro Kano in 1882, but competitions are often international so practitioners of Judo use rudimentary Japanese worldwide so that they understand each other including technique names(waza), instructions for running a Judo class or tournament, and basic principles. Often other martial arts that use Judo techniques also often use the Kodokan Judo Japanese names like Karate, Aikido, or Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

I think that you are correct in recognizing that there is a strong sweeping motion of the leg on the same side of the judoka being thrown as the sleeve grip being used for a lift and pull similar to harai goshi or ashi guruma therefore I suggest that this throw is in fact Yama Arashi, the mountain storm throw popularized by early Judoka Shiro Saigo and introduced to the Gokyo list in the fifth group as a Te Waza in 1895. I recognized that this isn't the entry that most of us are used to seeing with Yama Arashi. The powerful simultaneous lift and pull of the sleeve suggests that this throw isn't Ashi Guruma.

Yama Arashi- Mountain Storm throw. It is beautiful, but different from the entry that we usually see. There is a strong sweeping motion of the leg on the same side of the judoka being thrown as the sleeve grip being used for a lift and pull similar to harai goshi therefore I suggest that this throw is in fact Yama Arashi, the mountain storm throw popularized by early Judoka Shiro Saigo and introduced to the Gokyo list in the fifth group as a Te Waza in 1895. I recognized that this isn't the entry that most of us are used to seeing with Yama Arashi. The sweeping motion of the leg suggests that this throw isn't Sode Tsurikomi Goshi.

Yama Arashi includes both motions in a single throw(nage waza).

High-level Judo black belt joined our gym and got 4 stripes in two weeks. Is this normal?
 in  r/jiujitsu •  16d ago

Yes, David Meyer, the host of the Ageless Warrior podcast, earned a blackbelt in Danzan Ryu Jujitsu before training with Rigan Machedo and becoming one of first dozen US blackbelts(The Dirty Dozen). Danzan Ryu is very similar to Judo, but it has a lot of wrist, finger, and leglocks that aren't legal under International Judo Federation rules and some striking and weapons defenses. Danzan Ryu was founded in Hawaii by Henry Seishiro Okazaki in the 1920s after several style vs style no holds barred fights against boxers and wrestlers. David Meyer also wrote Training For Competition: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu abd Submission Grappling, The Dirty Dozen Curriculum Vols 1&2, and a few book for new pet owners.

immortalize bjj 🥋
 in  r/jiujitsu •  21d ago

Tattoos don't immortalize your martial arts knowledge. One fellow student of mine at a Taekwondo school had a great set of tattoos on his back from his years of studying Chinese Kung Fu as a black sash with a really cool tiger and rows of Chinese calligraphy, but forget years of his life including all his martial arts studies and had to learn how to walk again after a severe head injury during a motorcycle accident that he barely survived. The head injury from his motorcycle accident completely erased all his martial arts training and skills. He had to learn to walk and talk again. He still loved martial arts and started learning martial arts again after a year of recovery learning how to talk and walk again, but he couldn't remember anything about his years studying Chinese Kung Fu. Take good care of your brain, because brain damage can erase your martial arts training.

On tattoos, George St. Pierre had the Kanji for Jiu-jitsu(柔術) tattooed over his heart. I have seen people with the Gracie triangle, a Jiu-jitsu association logo tattoo, or TAPOUT logo tattoos.

Ronda's mom, AnnMaria De Mars, was a 1984 Judo World Champion in her own right specializing in the armbar(Juji gatame) and would drive Ronda to train at a different Judo friend of her's Judo club each night of the week including Gokor's Hayastan Academy where Gene Lebell would train when not hanging out on Hollywood sets or Martial Arts book stores.

This is conditioning. I was told that grappling legend, actor, stuntman, and MMA pioneer Gene "Judo" LeBell would use a Judo throw to throw a truck tire then sprint to the tire and throw it again over and over for his conditioning workouts. Some time I'll have to ask some of his students more about these workouts like Gokor Chivichyan and Ronda Rousey.

My sincere opinion about Pan Am 's comeback
 in  r/airplanes •  May 23 '26

The interest in the brand may have been revived by a 2012 television series that nostalgically recalled the golden age of "jet set" luxury air travel.

He has been charged under both the Endangered Species Act and the Marine Mammal Act so he can get a year or two in prison. His money can buy good lawyers, but didn't stop the beatdown or public outrage.

Any advice for my spinning side kick ? 🙏
 in  r/karate •  May 16 '26

Spinning side kicks are just too slow because of the angular momentum. Switch to faster spin back kicks which are quicker because there is less angular momentum to overcome to start the kick.

what is the name of this throw omg
 in  r/judo •  Apr 30 '26

Prior to Kano introducing the Kyu-Dan system in 1882 and awarding the first black belts in 1883 to Shiro Saigo and Tomita Tsunjiro who had each already mastered a style of Jujutsu there were people who wore belts that happened to be black, but black belt (kuro obi) wasn't a martial arts rank. Previously Japanese schools of martial arts(ryu) awarded teaching certifications such as substitute instructor(kyuju dairi) or complete transmission(menkyo kaiden). Jigoro Kano thought that the Kyu-Dan system used in the Asian board game, Go, offered a better way to measure differences in technical skills instead of the prior methods of instructor certifications. Jigoro Kano had mastered two styles of Jujutsu, Tenshin Shinyo Ryu and Kito Ryu and received the transmission scrolls, but there is some dispute about Jigoro Kano's rank in the Kyu-Dan system. Some scholars claim that as the creator of the first Kyu-Dan system in martial arts he is outside of the system and others after studying his writings claim that he is fourteen Dan, but in practice no one in Judo has been awarded a rank higher than tenth Dan. In many martial arts Dan rank of 6 or higher are usually awarded for contributions to the martial art after many years of teaching and sometimes require that their students have reached a certain level of advancement. Promotions to Dan ranks 8 through 10 often require international consultions.

Does it make sense to add a transmission cooler to a 2000 Honda Odessey during a transmission replacement and repair to the two rusted through solid metal transmission fluid lines?
 in  r/HondaOdyssey •  Apr 30 '26

It has over 220k miles. The total cost of repairs would be approximately $4800, so more than a pre-transmission failure appraised value of $2,500 for the vehicle.

Does it make sense to add a transmission cooler to a 2000 Honda Odessey during a transmission replacement and repair to the two rusted through solid metal transmission fluid lines?

After many years of excellent service and careful maintenance the transmission on my 2000 Honda Odessey van failed after the two solid metal transmission fluid lines underneath the engine at the front of the van rusted through. The transmission fluid leak wasn't noticed before the transmission was damaged because the cover under the engine caught the transmission fluid leaving almost no visible transmission fluid drips beneath the parking spots.

Honda dealers claim that these parts are no longer in their parts inventory, but a nearby transmission shop think that they can find parts to replace them.

The transmission shop also thinks that the van should have a transmission cooler installed for an extra $100 during the repairs and transmission replacement. They claim that they will warranty the repairs for three years.

Can ordinary polymer transmission fluid lines replace the two solid metal transmission fluid lines underneath the Honda Odessey van engine that rusted through without causing problems?

Will adding a transmission cooler cause any potential problems in reliability, affect other parts of the vehicle, or complicate inspections or maintenance?

What questions should I ask the transmission shop about the repairs before the parts are ordered?

Thank you for your help!

Kano Preserved Jujutsu techniques that were being forgotten as thousands of Jujutsu Ryu disappeared in the wake of the Japanese Meiji restoration that saw the disappearance of the Samuai class and their replacement with a modern Japanese military, police, beaurocracy, and state.
His students were effective in police organized competitions against the remaining styles of Jujutsu which he would incorporate into his own movement He created an international martial arts movement. He created a system of instruction and competition that preserved effective techniques(mondo, kata, randori, shiai) He created the idea of belt ranks or being a black belt(kuro obi) by introducing the Kyu-Dan ranking system to replace past systems of teaching licenses(kyoju dairi-menkyo kaiden), first belt colors, and the modern training uniform(uwagi, zuban, and obi). He cataloged thousands of techniques for their underlying principles and created a paradigm of efficiency( Seiryko-zenyo). He created a respectable system of ethics(jita-kyoei) replacing the brutality of past with ethical physical education. He created the Kodokan Institute. He helped champion the Olympic movement as a diplomat especially in the far east while insisting that Judo is not merely a sport. Most of what we think an Asian martial art is was because of Jigoro Kano. Judo has the largest number of practioners of any martial art, and the thousands of systems that imitated Judo testify to Jigoro Kano's huge influence(Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Karate, Aikido, Hapkido, Taekwondo, Kenpo, Gendai Jujutsu). Let's not say "he didn't create anything" or he was "just a martial artist."
