I started Judo at 41, and left at 47. At the beginning, I was the oldest in the class by far, although close to the Sensei. As the young kids became young adults, they became faster and more technical. I got a little slower, but the injuries kept coming, and made an impact on my mind, and body.
@@huntermosely7420 Well, I later found out that I have some vertebrae joint degeneration in my neck (the kind that causes the gravel sound) and I decided not to go back.
Hi there! I ran into your channel after searching for videos relating to teaching english in Korea and hit subscribe after watching a few of your other videos. I don't know much about judo, but my father was a judo master in his younger days in Korea and this video just clarified a few of the strange stretches my father does while watching television. I used to laugh at him all the time (still do...) whenever he did the "wide-leg pushups" aka bae-mil-gi (as he calls it). I had no idea this was a part of judo warmup routine haha! This video brought back a whole lotta memories for me since I used to join his workouts when I was younger. I will definitely be sharing this video with my dad! Anyways, thank you for sharing! Your videos about teaching in Korea are super informative btw!
I thought that choosing Judo for my project was a mistake, that I wasn’t going to be able to find any videos, but this helped so much, thank you for such a great video!
Man I really enjoy watching this session. I wish I had something like this around where I live. I will try my best yo mimic this workout/training haha great video hope you post more in the future and you're pretty cool for letting us in the gym haha
thank you for sharing RD. I liked the leg warm ups and saw a few new ones for me. I also liked the few gut checks by the instructor. Any chance of you doing a special on the Korean reverde seoi or other specialty moves? Thank you much for your in depth videos.
@RedDragonDiaries Finally judo video! Your judo club looks fun, making it hard to decide on couple weeks in kodokan or korea for a little judo holiday later in life :)
That was so interesting to watch. At first I thought the guy in the dark blue outfit was the boss, then I realised it was the older man who was the real expert. The boys looked like they were having a lot of fun. Do girls do Judo in Korea too? I hope you can show us more of this sort of thing on your channel, I would love to see when they do really serious stuff! :)
+Miraculous Mosquito Right. The guy leading class is true student of the game. Lots of girls do judo in Korea. Not the same percentage as say taekwondo because it's very rough on the body. But still, many girls in judo. I'd say maybe 10-15% are girls.
I practiced TKD here in the US for a few years under a Korean guy. It's strange how so much of the warmups are so similar. Even the counting and bouncing cadence are the same. He was in his 50s and could do the splits with his hands clasped behind his back and touch his chest to the floor like it was nothing.
I watch this video while eating dinner and cleaning up my room. It looks awesome and cool, something i would do on my days off and hobby. I plan to check out and participate in judo when i come to Korea. And Mr. Red Dragon, you look so damn tall when look at the mirror with your camera :-). Wish i was i as tall.
That little guy in the blue with the black belt is awesome haha, I love how during stretching he wasn't even stretching he was just looking at the camera. How long has he been doing judo?
Thanks. What is the composition of the flooring under the mat? Raised sheets of plywood? There seems to be some give to it. My school's mat is raised from the floor, and provides some give when you land on it.
hi. i just bought the camera and I found the battery is weak and drain fast. is there a way to keep recording much longer . and what is the best settings for the xiaomi. thank you
+Red Dragon Diaries Ok, cool. Just wondering since ssireum would be a good complement to Judo, and since Korea usually takes medals in wrestling during summer olympics. Anyway, keep up what you are doing!
I've noticed in a lot of his video's that a lot of younger kids have already a 1st dan, which is insane (but they're insanely good) but still, really young.. But I do remember not every country has the same colours, I don't know how they work in Korea. But I remember other European countries had different 6-1 Kyu colors.
Absolutely not. In Spain, for example, u can not even apply for the exam until you are 15 and prooving you have been practising for 5 years in a row or 7 in total.
+Patrick Foley yes, junior bb. I'm surprised so many are surprised at seeing this. It's a very widespread and accepted norm for martial arts across the board
I have been watching Judo videos for an hour and i think that Judo is more demanding on the body the BJJ. I am 55 and I do BJJ now.and was thinking of doing Judo also. I don't think my body could handle all those throws. And if I did pursue Judo i do not like sport Judo. I would like it for the original purpose of Self defense.
+حياتي و مذكراتي (life AND memory) lol. I can't believe someone actually watched all the way to the end. I would like to be in the video, but I have to hold the camera.
