    I hope someday to earn Shodan. I will continue while I can and hope to achieve the goal, but to be honest, I am enjoying the journey and not thinking of the destination. My Sensei says Black Belt means you now have all the fundamentals and are proficient in Judo, but still have long way to go to master the art.

    A black belt in judo is a daunting task and I´m really proud I finally got mine. I guess I´m a mixture of academic and athlete, because I think my judo is decent but I also learned a lot of techniques and intend to do some instructor courses now that I finally got the shodan.

      Im eventually going to do the canadian national training program for Judo, theres four different levels and you need it to teach officially in a club and to open a club if ever you want.
      It also dives into super interesting. History of Judo as well.

      I was having back issues at 16😅 i remember a sort of funny episode when I was 19 and having a bad back day: I was in ju jitsu practice trying to take it slowly to not upset my back even further, when the club bully throws me with all his might in a “light randori” session. I laid down for a few seconds thinking “damn it, my back is really fked up after this”. I was super surprised when I had no more pain whatsoever that evening. It was incredible, involuntary chiropractic intervention! My back is better in my 30s, cannot really complain tbh (with a bit of discipline ofc). All the best and congrats on your Shodan!

    I know you used to do BJJ. I did Judo for 2 years but I was super unfit and was 40 at the time. I feel the same thing with Purple Belt being the fun part of BJJ. I got my purple belt in March. I primarily train no-gi right now I’m killing it. I did a 2 hour open mat and got submitted once out of 10 rolls or so. I submitted everyone I rolled with multiple times during each roll except the guy that taped me. Ranks I rolled with were low level blue to mid level brown belt. So fun 18 months ago I sucked and was getting destroyed by everyone. Something clicked around that time and my skill just exploded.

      Would u say bjj or judo is better to learn for self defense

    • @ConveyApp
      @ConveyApp 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@Canecorso14 Difficult question. Judo is a very powerful martial art that it very devastating if done on concrete. BJJ comes from Judo. It depends on how you train each one. The sports aspect and the competition aspects have handicapped the sport with each of them. So if you train each of them for the intent of self defense you would have to be able to pull off your primary techniques in different situations such as no-gi, with a hoodie, no shirt, shorts, jeans. The gi, in both sports is a huge handicap in my opinion. Not a fan of it outside of the sports. So additionally Judo is very rough for an older person. I was 40-42 when did judo. Very out of shape and 1.5 hours per week was incredibly hard on my body. In BJJ I actively train relatively hard and intense with a few 66-70 yr old guys. I prefer BJJ, and there are Judo and wrestling elements that are very effective. So you do get a lot out of BJJ. I would say BJJ if you have 6-8 yrs to get to Purple Belt.

      @@Canecorso14 Yeah, I love judo very much it’s just very rough on my body. Judo is this standing grip game and going from 0-100% in 1/2 sec to be effective. BJJ is not like that. You just can’t overly committed to anything. It’s more of a 49-51% game. Very chess like at the upper levels. My coach always says to use wrestling on a Judo guy to get him on the ground to do BJJ, or Judo on a wrestler to get him on the ground to do BJJ. I have another coach that’s a BJJ black belt and a Judo brown belt. He was ultra competitive in BJJ as a BJJ brown belt 10 yrs ago. He said that Judo at the higher levels creates really bad habits for BJJ competition because of the Judo competition training. He said he would throw a dude and he would have way to much velocity in the throw he had to roll off of his opponent and disconnect from him and him and the opponent would wind up in a scramble. He said he lost a few matches because of his Judo training. In Judo if you throw someone and they hit the mat with their back cleanly, it’s an automatic win. BJJ that’s just the start of the match.

      Good job brother, purple belts is serious business, starting with bjj is a great and safer option to get back into shape, then when you’re ready start working on them break falls, and pick up some judo. Double Black has an amazing ring to it no? Osu!

    In Judo and other budo arts like Aikido - Karate -Japanese Jiu Jitsu it is like mastering the basics and a stepping stone , i hope i can get a black belt someday but for me every belt is a achievement and it is about the journey and fighting ability .
    Hong it was mention before but can you make a video about JJJ (Japanse Jiu Jitsu)? and show us the depths of the martial art and if is a good choice for adult that want to have a middle way between Judo and BJJ?
