Yikes you're right - some of the pix seem to be missing. I'll get on the case & fix that. This one works though... (Better not let Melanie see this one)
When I did Judo we always used the GI in class but I practiced at home with my brother no GI. The same with my Ninjutsu Instructor in class GI at his home no GI or on rare occasions no GI in lessons for a bit of reality training. I think learning a technique needs to be done with a GI especially grappling/throws as on occasions the technique goes well with the clothes but the person is left standing. Handy to know how to sow at this point. You can control the person better with a GI on as already said. But training no GI shows you where you need to place your hands and how much grip you can expect. One of the students forgot his GI top and was training in a tee shirt. His partner was complaining that he could not do the Technique we had shown him because he had no collar to grab and if he did he would rip the tee shirt. So I demonstrated the same technique by gripping the back of his partner’s neck. He was amazed by what I thought was a simple and obvious solution and the lesson continued. Solane
Then get to the gym, ya little runt! On, you go! Gi/no Gi, have to practice with both, as in a scrap the Gi skills translate well into using an opps jacket against him! Maurico Gomes is the best! Was at a seminar of his a few years ago and his stuff was awesome! Shame most of its illegal in Judo training though Col
do one thing do grappling while clothes on... then later put off ur clothes get urself all oily n then try ur grappling stuff, then tell us here wat happened?? Ok Cain. -TkdWarrior-
Umm.....I will pass that But I see wat u r getting at, it will be hell of a lot more tough to get a grip BTW I know Indian wrestlers oil themselves but wat bout American? I never seen one like that...... |Cain|
Oh, I see, grappling sure is'nt my thing, guess I will stick to hitting people and trapping rather than rolling on the floor with some big burly, hairy and smelly guy Thanx, |Cain|
No Grappling is fun n challenging when u don't hav good grip... frankly if u start spending more time on mat u'll start enjoying it too... -TkdWarrior-
It's funny the difference when training with women. Both in judo and Ninjutsu. I have found the women don't hold back when fighting you. When I have fought them though I have sometimes found myself switching a technique at the last minute to avoid an inappropriate hold. This is generally with the newer members, as the senior females realize you aren’t out to grope them. I remember one of the senior women in our Judo club telling off one of the 16 year old lads because he would not grip her GI properly near her chest due to embarrassment. So he could not do the technique properly and kept losing in the sparing sessions. She threatened to bounce him round the room for an hour if he didn’t get a good grip. He stuck at it and became very good at Judo. Solane
hmmm i wanted to that guy..lol sike umm i never noticed that but ok. I treat everyone equally on or off the mat but for the girls i tend to not put so much strength into the punch, kick, or whatever. For the Guys I don't hold back I will do anything to win.
