@@BlindJudoJourney we are counting on you for more. The thing I noticed when my sight started disappearing was that I rarely saw or heard of a blind person and I worked in a big city. I would only know of others at the Veteran Hospital. I have come to the conclusion that many blind people have hidden themselves in their house. I can be guilty of this so I try to get out. I currently do bjj but my first judo class is Friday! Your videos are part of the reason I am trying this at 57 years old. Keep going.
If you don't mind me asking: Are you completely blind or? How is that working out safety wise? For example 4:29 when you attempt throwing your opponent over yourself by placing your leg at his stomach, wouldn't it be easy to misjudge that and place the foot a bit too low if you know what I mean. And also for yourself: most people know when they hit the mat and can brace themselves. Do you feel like it hits you harder? Looks really good!
I do have a small amount of vision, but none is very useful when fighting. In these fights I cannot see where. On the safety aspect, you can’t really see the floor anyway when you’re falling as you’re going backwards often. Mainly, it’s just a lot of muscle and practice, I don’t think I hit the ground and harder than anyone else. Actually, I think I hit the ground softer because of my gymnastics background. When talking about the throw where you put your foot in the stomach, lots of sight of people miss. Again it’s just practice, I don’t ever miss it too much, and I would say it’s probably one of my best crows. Most of these things are just practice, as long as you’re able to defend yourself and keep your stamps solid so that you don’t get debt , it’s safe
I really think the difficulty with this is that there isn’t the pool of people to make the comps effective, whether that means that enough people to have fighters of similar levels, or it means that the competitions aren’t profitable enough. Either we need more VI players, or they need to be linked to another competition such as a mainstream comp. I think the regional school does a good job of this, I’d like to see it at more competitions
When they start banging on the drum ladd you'll know, then you construct a caboomer! Them other VI's will do the same!!. Don' Don' ni notte!! 'どんどん に 乗って'. They all fall like dominoes!! Keep the L3's and L4's coming!! Fading the waves on the shore bye 🤗🤗🤗
I’m not really using it as a real throw, I’m using it to bail out of poor positions, because I can’t see I’m losing position in most exchanges so it’s important that I can bail out of those positions with drop throws effectively
It was awesome seeing you do that “off the grip” I am inspired by you! Keep going
Cheers mate, it’s comments like this that make me want to make more content!

@@BlindJudoJourney thanks for sharing!
More vi comps in Britain is a great idea 23:21 23:21

I just keep fighting until they give me a medal… Or they ask me to leave
some throws looks real good, soei otoshi still not figure out

@@BlindJudoJourney yes and no , will be better if this throw will be way to go to darkness , even if not give you point.
