No Aikido is good.
Zero point zero.
Listen, I know a lot of Aikidoka make excuses about Aikido, but they’re all morons playing patty cake.
Aikido comes almost dead last in the martial world, barely beating Yellow Bamboo.
Go do Judo.
Can’t say. That’s something for your coaches to say.
Anyway, there are many variables at play when talking about performance. You can have success against people because you are good but things llike size, age, doing techniques your opponent is not used to, luck et c. also matter.

Cool.
I’m available on week days at the gym where I coach. You can schedule your “welcome to real grappling” session via DCS IG
Of course, you won’t be able to make it by yourself after I unleash “the dreaded internalz” on your fat gringo ass.

What on earth are you talking about? Controlling the bridge?
Handing me my ass on camera? What are you writing about? I’m not doing Judo with you, we’ve never even met in person.

Coming out as a lefty, when you are a righty, is a recognized tactic. I actually first learned about it from a high-ranking Japanese Judoka, 11 or 12 years ago. Not everybody does it.
Koga, on the other hand, had some sort of injury, and his whole methodology was adapted to it, hence his stance.
He also had some interesting physiology, from what I’ve been told, that really helped him with his Seoi Nage.
Anyway, the standard rationale for coming out as a lefty, when you are a righty, against another righty, is to get closer to your opponent’s right sleeve, with your left hand, in order to achieve sleeve control, and keep him away from your right sleeve.
This is just in Judo competition, not the striking lefty vs righty thing, which is the opposite of Judo, LOL.

Sweet.
You insulted my Mundials champ BJJ coach and both my Kodokan coaches (one of whom was almost an Olympian) in a single post.
AND the Shaolin Si.
I was right, you’re the One. There are so few of you left, but I can always find you.

Troll, bridge…Judo, bridge.
The Secret Elders of Bullshido bridge, something I’m part of.
It’s a triple entendre…
You’ve been judoing with me for 15 years, bruh.
And those were just the warmups.
Winter is here.
Secret elders of Bullshido, that’s a laugh and a half!
We’ve discussed judo, yeah, for sure. I’m good with that.
But not everybody knows what is going on, and we’ve never physically done Judo with each other.
They have purposely trained you wrong, as a joke.
I’m very easy to find.

You have a point. You can’t assess someone’s skills from what they post on a forum. But I have a question. Is the tomiki style totally different or something? I mentioned how I’ve thrown yudansha in judo with aikido and it flew right over @W.Rabbit’s head. Does he think I’m lying for some odd reason?
The techniques are not very different from the other aikido branches, it’s the live training that makes the player skilled at performing against a resisting opponent.
I think he only reads/listen to himsef/the voices inside his head.

Shodan in Japan is not a big deal, jr. high and high school students get it.
It’s a bit more involved in the US, but quality varies a lot. It took me 5 years of 3-7 days a week of practice 9(averaged 4-5), and competing all the time, to get mine in 1985.
Basically, sandan is kind of a terminal rank in Japan. My Japanese coach said I’d be OK with a good high school team, but I’d die in a university setting (that’s when I was a 35 year old Sandan training 5 days a week. )
Happy birthday, too!

Hmm, I may know who your Cuban coach is, LOL. There are a lot of them in Floriday, though, so who knows.
Anyway, DCS is very accomplished and experienced at what he does.
American Judo is… overall, not that great, on the world stage. There are of course accomplished American Judoka, but the overall level is pretty mediocre.
There is no schoolboy feeder system, no coherent development plan, etc.
I say this as am American Judoka who was involved at the national level for quite some time, in development, and admin.
There is some good judo in his area, he just has not consistently been doing Judo for that long.
I hope he can stick with it and not get injured out, again.
Post video, man. It’s the ancient Bullshido standard.
He’s a highly experienced martial artist, as I’m sure you know already.
What are you smoking, these days? Maybe sipping some special tea?
I thew a shit-ton of judo yudansha when I was working my through sanky-nikyu-ikkyu, some of them had placed at nationals, even, and they weren’t even old when I got to them.
Does that mean I was really good at Judo?
Post video of you doing Judo, if you want an evaluation.
