  • Chokes are probably difficult to apply.

    Too bad the video didn't show the action leading up to the choke. Wondering how the choker got her opponent into a position where she could apply the choke.

    Fortunately the individual didn't get choked fully unconscious. If a competitor does get fully ko'd maybe there's a waiting period before she or he is allowed to compete again.

  • Did it seem strangely inhuman to you when you first learned these strangling and joint breaking locks?

  • No. Jiu jitsu is extremely civil, believe it or not. Many other "Martial arts" I've seen talk about poking eyes and krotch shots. Brazilian Jiu jitsu is about control, of yourself and your opponet. It is not about inhumane attacks or about killing people. Get a grip, it's a martial art.

  • very effective strangle :-)

  • Waited almost too long to tap, which is obvious enough afterward - but unconsciousness can arrive quickly.....a skillfully applied choke it would appear.

    Chokes were a feature I had a definite avesion to and a principal reason why (a long while ago) I discontinued participating in judo... Greatly disliked getting choked and was thoroughly inept at applying them...Wasn't fond of armlocks either.

    Nonetheless, I think of judo as a challenging and worthwhile activity.

  • I rather like chokes, even when I lose to them...

  • Is that a fetish kind of thing?

  • @judostacey totaly agree. judo chokes give judo a beauty. we think on the same way. great comment stacey.

  • Hey Stacey...you showed "guts" hanging in there as long as you did! And you even got up on your own! :-) Pure judo!

  • Hey Stacey,

    I think your goal should be to get yourself videotaped at the other end of that choke at your next tourny and post it! Then you'll really enjoy watching it! Try koshijime, when she attacks with a failed drop-seio...if you get her good..she won't even be able to get up and wobble like you did...she'll be out as you take her down!

  • This was my first tournament back after injury. My right side wasn't working well b/c of the leg and because of a squishy nage. I'll make public a few more things, and wil post a nice uki goshi counter in a bit. Winning is fun, but seeing an interesting loss, especially when it's you, is strange!

  • Watching yourself fight can be pretty wild...Are you ever surprised at how you "transform", while in the combat arena? I mean..I have always believed that fighting is something that comes naturally for eveyone who is pitted against an opponent in judo. But the key to success while competing is very much depenedent on your mental focus during a fight. You truly have to channel all your aggression and have that "fighter's mindset" solidified in your head before you step on the tatamis..

  • Continued......... Do you agree? How nervous are you when you fight? Do you talk to opponents at tournaments? The psycholgical component is so vital to judo...

  • O.k. time to admit it. When I'm on the judo tatami, my vision is 20/600 (can't wear contacts, can't wear hard objects like glasses), so I've learned judo through a feel method. For me, my mental focus shifts during a fight. Initially, I grab for the white thing in the middle, and play my game (which can be to frustrate her game and then take advantage).

  • part 2:

    Then, my focus changes to trying to find the line I started from by dragging my feet in the general direction. I usually don't know who won a full time limit bout until I'm off the floor. Everything else is obvious except when the refs "accidentally" grant my ippon to my opponent. Even then, by the time I find out, I really don't care because everybody else, especially my opponent really knows who won.

  • I think you tapped at the right time. Its better to tap last second than not tapping and having a seizure. Good try though.

  • ? why would you want to post a video of yourself losing

  • because I post a lot on Judo Forum, especially on my blog, and I posted it to make a point. Besides, how often do you get that close to "out" on tape at a shiai? Think it's kinda cool, myself. You should see the other loss I posted, where I broke my ankle.
