[tokonjudo]

[JudoKilli]

[JasonSpiffy]

@JudoKilli I lol'd so loud my 8 month old daughter jumped!

[xSpeedyxxx]

We have something we call judobasketball ;)

Thats much more fun as warm up!

[angelajudochop]

Agreed, but normal judo warm ups doesn't get any clicks.

[7eventhSamurai]

Great warm up, but by Judo standards, that pretty far from insane. It's about standard, I'd say. I've seen and been put through worse warmups before newaza only sessions, let alone normal training with randori involved. Looks like a great bunch of guys to train with though.

[702decatur]

The guy running this class looks like Dave Ellis. Mind you this is just warmups they might be training for a tournament so you never know.

By the way Dave taps a lot of BJJ black belts.

[paba102071]

i respect bbj but i hate the way they think they are better they are not humble i am a jujitsu black belt and a judo black and i use both , but this stupids peoples like

@piecrest make me really bother they have a EGO than is very close to stupidly.

[websslinger]

I can't stand paying for classes to do things that I could do on my own for free (jogging, skipping, rolling, crawling, etc.) what a waste. When you go to a class, your time should be spent working with people. I trained in BJJ for quite some time and it was over an hour drive to class. We'd spend half the class doing shit I could do by myself at home. I don't train there anymore.

[streetfightsecrets]

@websslinger totally agree

[PIECREST]

@websslinger hey well some of that is conditioning (or what ever it is, it is still important)

[websslinger]

@PIECREST You are correct, it is conditioning. My point is, all of that can and should be done on your own time. This appears to be a Judo class anyways. Perhaps this is why Brazilian Jiu Jitsu tends to be superior. While other classes are doing cartwheels and jogging, we in BJJ are training techniques and free grappling (which, in itself, is awesome conditioning). I don't care. I found a BJJ club that I enjoy training with now. I'll take my purple belt in BJJ over any gymnastics classes.

[TheObelix876]

@websslinger at my judo school we begin with 15 minuts of fallbreaking / push ups those things and after that 1 hour of pure technique training and then another 15 minuts randori both standing and ground fighting ( we still focus on ground fighting where i train including leg locks )

[AdamNeisler]

Id love to try this class out.

[closecombatfreak]

There is always something out there. As long as you have someone crazy enough to do it!

[Ch1NkYsMaLLz]

lol

[kyperioth]

3/4's of the warm up excersizes they show here are what is performed at the Judo club in Stratford, Ontario (Canada).

I've never seen the two man wheel excersise before but that is awesome and we'll give that a go.

[simonschlong]

[JaksaJale]

4.26 lol :D
