Just out of curiosity I asked from one of the guys in the skatepark to do a backside ollie with his board, which is a trick I 'm currently learning. His board was 8.5 with 149 trucks and great grip, mine is 80 with 129s and shit grip.
The board would turn with my body, what a great feeling! I didn't even have to pop them that high and I didn't even toedrag. It felt like cheating. My term with the thin board will prove valuable once I cope biggger trucks.

How do you guys feel about riding a longboard at the skatepark? I live in an area where if you go early on a week day no one is there. I've done it once, dropped in on some of the smaller verts and seems to be able to ride most features.

You don't just "go into security work".

No one is going to look at you unless you have at least one deployment in the military, or are current law enforcement with ~5-10 years of experience.

Problem is most Judo dojo don't teach Japanese or even have instructors that speak Japanese.

Then there is the difficulty with the language itself. Just learning to speak Japanese won't be enough to understand the names of the techniques. You need to understand Kanji to understand the different readings.

I gained a much deeper insight into Judo after learning Japanese and the whole system came together and made more sense.

But then again, how much time do you want to commit to teaching Japanese and does a dojo have the right facilities? Do students then need notebooks and pens?

I always thought whiteboard lecture lessons would be useful, I just don't know how many people would agree with me. Especially since most Judoka don't care about learning many techniques or the nuances and structure of system.

The issue is it isn't just "Variation of the 4 corner side control hold".

Let me give a demonstration.

崩袈裟固 Kuzure Kesa Katame is made up for 2 (3) parts.

Kuzure comes from kuzureru 崩れる which means to collapse or crumble.

Kesa-gatame 袈裟固 is one word which means scarf hold, but Kesa itself comes from Kasaya (http://i01.i.aliimg.com/img/pb/157/181/435/435181157_341.jpg) which is a monks stole or any kind of scarf that is draped around the shoulders.

Katameru 固める is to fortify or harden (in this context).

With this explanation you know clearly that Kesagatame (or Hon-kesa-gatame) is the basic scarf-hold. Kuzure is to collapse or crumble. What are you collapsing or crumbling? The spine. Every kuzure ground work technique involves lifting the spine of the ground and supporting it with arms or legs.

You also know anything that has Kesa in it involves a scarf holding position and that anything that uses Katame or Something-gatame involves hardening or holding tight (fortifying your position).

>You need to understand Kanji to understand the different readings.

And meanings still need to be interpreted in the right way. There are many differnt opinions about "Okuri", which literally mean "sending", but what exactly do you send? Uke? Your grip? And so on.

>>753289

> What are you collapsing or crumbling? The spine.

A different explanation is that the position/hold itself is crumbling and needs readjustment (therefore the commong reading as "variation").

>I also know for a fact that a BJJ student is incapable of standing toe to toe with a Judoka of equal training experience in a stand-up grappling match.

And what do you mean by experience? Time spent training?

If so, that's just wrong. Some people learn faster than others, some people learn slower than others. Most people, they fall somewhere in the middle. Few but still many learn a lot faster than most people, and few but still many learn a lot slower than most people. It's very basic psychology.

So, it's a fact that you're wrong, because it isn't a fact that any BJJ student is incapable of standing toe to toe with a Judoka of equal training experience in a stand-up grappling match.
To reiterate myself, it's a fact that you're wrong.
What you claimed isn't fact.
What you thought to be fact isn't fact.
A fact is that you're wrong.

their lives are only skating. i'm pretty sure most of those guys get all their board stuff for free, or at least pretty cheap. they probably don't have crazy living expenses, don't spend money on clothes, eat cheap food, etc

but yeah idk, they must have minimum wage jobs or something just to keep them afloat. otherwise i don't know how they would survive lol.

I plan on taking a day to improve my form before trying to actually go for any kind of targets properly, I'm just practising using the damn thing at this point.

The proper advice should be "keep a good form". An arm guard, especially a large one, will only "help" you not achieving good form.
