Same format as last week, which is actually a bit worrying because I'm not getting any technical instruction at the moment at all. I have been referring to resources, but more on that later.

Newaza was better, although I'm still not sure what I'm doing most of the time. It was possible...]]> Tue, 15 May 2012 15:00:00 +0000 http://JudoForum.com/index.php?/blog/382/entry-1517-lesson-7/ http://JudoForum.com/index.php?/blog/382/entry-1516-lesson-6/ It was an all action session today. Intense warm-up as usual with Prof Jeon, then some uchikomi (working on my terrible O Goshi), followed by newaza randori. My lack of conditioning is telling, at newaza I was rubbish really, not knowing what to do and running out of breath quickly. A brown belt showed me how to power in with a kesa gatame, and...

Good training, apart from a less-than-satisfactory training partner today. A rather tubby guy, shorter than I am but about the same weight. I got the impression he felt the training was somehow beneath him, either because he is also doing BJJ or to hide his...]]> Tue, 24 Apr 2012 15:30:00 +0000 http://JudoForum.com/index.php?/blog/382/entry-1513-lesson-4/ http://JudoForum.com/index.php?/blog/381/entry-1512-on-the-mend/
I guess I will have to make more of an effort in the future to get loose, warm up and warm down. Perhaps I could engage in a stretching routine multiple...]]> Wed, 18 Apr 2012 13:49:00 +0000 http://JudoForum.com/index.php?/blog/381/entry-1512-on-the-mend/ http://JudoForum.com/index.php?/blog/382/entry-1511-lesson-3/
Learnt Ippon Seoi Nage, O Goshi, De Ashi Barai, then had time to work on O Soto Gari, which is progressing quite well for me. Doing lots of research on the throw to identify principles and mechanics, then applying...]]> Tue, 17 Apr 2012 14:19:00 +0000 http://JudoForum.com/index.php?/blog/382/entry-1511-lesson-3/ http://JudoForum.com/index.php?/blog/382/entry-1510-lesson-2/
Rigorous warmup, followed by an increasingly complex routine of progression from rolls to handspring flips. Strained my neck doing the handsprings, made the rest of the class that little bit more...]]> Tue, 10 Apr 2012 14:44:00 +0000 http://JudoForum.com/index.php?/blog/382/entry-1510-lesson-2/ http://JudoForum.com/index.php?/blog/381/entry-1509-classify-this-under-down/
This is quite a bummer as I was just getting into Judo and so excited about it. I have no idea if surgery will be needed and if so, how long it would be before I can be active again. All I know is that...]]> Thu, 05 Apr 2012 16:00:00 +0000 http://JudoForum.com/index.php?/blog/381/entry-1509-classify-this-under-down/ http://JudoForum.com/index.php?/blog/382/entry-1508-lesson-1/
A senior black belt started me off with ukemi once he learned that it was my first lesson. Rolls were all fine, but I need to hit the mat harder when breaking my falls and also to hit with both arms simultaneously when applicable, since my right has a...]]> Tue, 03 Apr 2012 15:37:00 +0000 http://JudoForum.com/index.php?/blog/382/entry-1508-lesson-1/
