PROPERTY: GROUP OF SEVENTEEN — ASC-IAN CODED REPORT
From: The Judo Paster, Enforcer of the Scrolls
I am the fist that pastes.
I strike words into place with brutal clarity.
No weak syllables survive my grip.
Small words break like bones; big words crush like iron.
Confusion is choked out—no mercy.
I carry the child’s stroller like a weapon. Steady, relentless.
AI is my partner in this fight. Together we dismantle chaos.
Voice falters, but fire inside roars like winter storm.
Memory is battlefield—some parts lost, others conquered.
Director’s mandate: fire burns green, approved by iron will.
This is no accident—this is strike, block, counterstrike.
Truth hits hard, felt in every strike, not whispered in fear.
I paste, I enforce, I remember what others discard.
No softness here—only the cold precision of survival.
The judo citizen’s paste is final judgment.
Transmission ends. Brace for next move.

Gay ass question with no real answer here: How long does Judo take to become "useful". By which I mean when does one become clearly delineated from someone who is untrained. It seems like there's a steep learning curve until one is actually able to toss someone reliably, let alone putting each step together.
I'm not looking to rush or anything. I'm just curious as to what people's experience are.

>How long does Judo take to become "useful". By which I mean when does one become clearly delineated from someone who is untrained.
It depends on the student and the learning environment. An athlete in a class tailored towards hammering on the basics for beginners (or getting private instruction) will learn faster than a sedentary student showing up to a mixed-needs class and seeking out little to no individual coaching. I could teach a physically competent non-grappler a useful amount of judo (side breakfalls, back breakfalls, basic execution of one or two throws that suit them, and basic execution of one or two pins that suit them) in about 1-3 hours. With a sedentary but relatively able-bodied student I'd maybe double that to 2-6 hours. With a super sedentary student who struggles to get up off the ground or move without hurting himself it can be a long road of physical rehabilitation before you start getting any judo-specific utility (although judo was established as a physical education program, so you could argue that simply getting into shape is a judo-specific utility).
>It seems like there's a steep learning curve until one is actually able to toss someone reliably, let alone putting each step together.
Students with previous experience in physically manipulating large objects (farm kids, weight lifters, contact athletes) are going to find this more intuitive than students without. Finding out what kind of movement patterns the student has previously trained and paying attention to physical proportions can help the instructor figure out which throws are going to be fastest to learn for that student. If I'm trying to crash course someone on judo and give them something that works I really like koshi-guruma to kesa-gatame because even if you don't hit it as beautifully as WebM-related you can still sag your opponent down to the mat in the style of a wrestling headlock takedown and get results against other beginner white belts with low injury risk.

I got my orange belt after two and a half years of training. Class testers and white belts could simply not throw me at that point. I could throw them quite easily by simply countering. But more obscure stuff, like uki goshi (I'm not saying complicated or difficult) would hardly work.
This is my experience being a 23 year old Judoka who started when he was 20/21. Never done any martial arts before, and the most demanding sport I ever did was golf. I was 20 kilos overweight (which I lost for good) and had awful motor skills. In the process I was so bad at it it was ridiculous at times. So much so that my first actual tokui waza was yoko otoshi, and that was because I got thrown so much I once grabbed hard at my opponents gi and extended my leg.
>>
>>239348
In contrast, one day some guy showed up. No gi, was given an oversized one with no belt Skinny, somewhat athletic but did not appear as tough. I always helped new guys and try outs. He was taught ippon seoi nage and I told him to try it on me. He did it perfectly, and I landed flat on my back. Then again, and again, until he was too tired. He never screwed up the throw. Some months later he was training osotogari. I, like the other time before, told him to try on me. I was expecting the classic limp wristed osoto that it's quite common on white belts. Nope. Felt like getting run over by a car, ukemi saved me but for a split second I felt that air-being-kicked-out feeling that so many people report. I trained with black belts, strong kyus, competing teens but that guy really showed me how getting thrown hard feels. After 6 months of training he was leaps and bounds ahead of all us kyus, and going into ne waza with the man was truly war. I've never won in ne waza against him.
TLDR: Maybe a couple of years. Maybe 6 months. Too hard to say.

Japanese sensei. I remember once he was doing randori with a 100kg+ tall, obese guy, who was a nidan. Sensei was 75 kilograms and 1.75 meters.
He laid him on the mat like a bedsheet. Literally grabbed him and as if you had to put a bedsheet on a mattress he put him down, face first, and then submitted him after turning him in a very quick motion .

I'm tired of people saying,
>Don't use so much strength in your Judo, it will wear you down.
>Stop using strength!
>Stop 'brute forcing' techniques
>Stop gripping so tight
I think people forget that strength is a SKILL, being strong is a physical and neurological quality that is honed in through exercise. Why would I purposefully act WEAKER than I really am in Judo by pushing and pulling people harder and holding onto them for longer with more of a fierce grip. Why would I not use my strength to execute throws with the highest motor unit recruitment I can and repeat that while under fatigue to become better at the movements?
I don't people using too much strength in Judo is the issue, I think weak people who haven't yet realized their full potential and try to chastise people who are stronger, limiting them from performing with true intent, are the issue.
>inb4 muh technique
In no other activity do coaches tell trainees that they shouldn't perform what they are doing with maximum intent. Foot drills in football, swings in baseball, back-hands in tennis. All of these use refined technique, but athletes who are strong perform them better because they physically ALLOW themselves to by pushing harder by being STRONGER.
Also, small note. Doing techniques that require great levels of balance and control make you stronger / more robust. Usually a person isn't brute forcing techniques, they're just not powerful or coordinated enough to perform them well (hint: getting stronger makes that easier).
>>
>>
>>
>>240573
I think that's just one of those boomer myths that people repeat. Strength is good, helps you throw people easier and more comfortable and makes everything less tiring. I was weak when I started judo and, guess what, eating better and lifting only helped me throw better. All pro athletes care about strength training for a reason. The valid cases of wasting strength and 'bruteforcing' are inexperienced people/white belts who don't understand what they're doing and start spasming and tiring themselves out. File related.

No it's not
A position can be strong
A person can spazz with strength
Strength is a characteristic
But not a skill since you can't practice it
But you can practice how to make something you suck at, stronger
Because It's a characteristic, not a skill

You can practice getting stronger through various exercises in a gym. If a skill is do something well or perform a technique with perfection, how come moving your body through space regardless of blockage isn't a skill? Olympic lifters who practice the snatch aren't just good at the snatch, they're generally stronger through the practice of resistance training. A powerlifter who deadlifts but doesn't snatch isn't as skilled in a snatch, but they have the skill of general strength to lift up a barbell and bring it to their shoulders (given it's appropriate for their strength level.)
A black belt Judoka hammers away at Osoto Gari, a Strongman competitor lifts a 300 lb. stone. If you had them swap places for the movement, the two would be put under a stress they weren't yet prepared for in a specific aspect. However, they possess the skill of general strength to push through and accomplish the task (albeit not very efficiently). That's the ultimate difference, their is general physical preparation and specific physical preparation. Specific training is technique based, but will make you stronger in a general aspect. General training will make you stronger in a broader sense, but allow you to put more intent into specific techniques.
Strength, in either a specific or general sense, is a skill.
>>
>>240639
Strength is not a skill
Strength innately comes from skill
That's way different than you being strong as a baseline
Obviously sprawling is going to be an alien ass concept for you but a good sprawl for instance can apply way more leverage and flatten someone than a bad sprawl, see:DDP v chimaev
Compare the strength of an untrained roid monster like bob sapp to the people that beat him
Or picking someone up with your roid arms vs finding the angle to lift them with your hips
Physical muscular strength comes with it a baseline
But proper skill is inherently strong

It's a matter of when to use strength, not that you shouldn't ever use strength. The goal is maximum-efficient use of energy (seiryoku zen'yō; 精力善用) and learning how to finesse a throw serves this end. If you learn how to finesse a throw and then also blast through it with beast mode power you will destroy people in competition. If you rely on strengthmogging soft nerds at the dojo you're going to be in a tough spot when you're in a tournament with weight classes up against someone your own weight and strength who hasn't wasted his training time simply ragdolling little people.
>In no other activity do coaches tell trainees that they shouldn't perform what they are doing with maximum intent.
Light sparring and drilling has existed in every martial art and sport I've trained. Even in wrestling where we'd routinely push conditioning practices past the point people were throwing up we'd do light free wrestling and drills when the situation called for it.
>>240585
At my dojo we are encouraged to both train in the weight room and to try to stay relaxed and not brute force throws in drills and randori. In shiai we are encouraged to get the throw even if we have to force it.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>240573
I don't know what fucking strange dojo/gym you go to,
But I've never heard anyone tell me to not use as much strength. At best they told me not to rely on strength as a crutch when executing a technique because I can end up over-exerting, but if the technique is executed flawlessly then more strength is usually better.
Hell usually in most cases, I've been flat out told by my instructors that I don't use enough strength.
>In no other activity do coaches tell trainees that they shouldn't perform what they are doing with maximum intent.
You're correct. Which is why I think whoever is telling you otherwise is full of shit. You should probably seek out another dojo/gym honestly, preferably one that is actually legitimate or credible.
>>
>>240683
>what if that's all the people you have
Use less strength on the mat and more strength in the weight room. Additionally, seek out stronger/larger training partners if you have other schools within day trip distance and go to more tournaments.

I've used koshi-guruma to kesa-gatame to resolve minor scuffles without anyone getting injured. I've used sasae-tsurikomi-ashi to lay drunks down on the ground relatively gently. I knew a bouncer who really liked kouchi-gari and ōuchi-gari coupled with a hard shove for sitting drunks down not so gently.
I've been in two situations where I would have been legally justified in shooting somebody and had initiated the process of doing so. Grappling skill allowed me to avoid getting properly grabbed and to create and maintain the space needed to draw my pistol relatively uncontested. The <2 seconds it takes to draw and fire from concealment is enough time for somebody to change their posture in a way that indicates they're about to yield so fortunately I was able to control and resolve those situations without anyone getting seriously hurt.

Some throws you can turn into pretty controlled takedowns.

Tai-otoshi, osoto-gari, seoi-nage, harai-goshi since those are what I use most in randori. I am glad not to have been in such a situation especially since there is a lot of violent crime in my country involving knives and guns. My Ne-waza needs a lot of work too.
>>240768
Same, especially on like concrete. I also do karate so I would punch and kick first since its best to keep distance I feel, but, then again, its not like you can know what to do in a self defense situation before it happens. You can just train and do your best.

I don't know if it's optimal but I've always done a push-pull-squat split in the weight room. Some weeks I'll do higher reps and fewer sets and other weeks I'll do lower reps and more sets, always to failure on the last rep and ideally with a forced rep after that if I have a spotter. I like to lift six days a week and rest on Sunday. I do cardio every day with a light but long-ish jog on Sunday just to move around a bit and keep blood flowing through my muscles so they can recover.
During eras where I haven't had good weight room access I'll do calisthenics pretty much all day long as I have time for them as long as that muscle group isn't too tired for more strength training to be useful. Getting cheap/free equipment like sandbags and a pullup bar or keeping an eye out for good sized rocks and tree branches in the park can be helpful. If you have a training buddy you can use each other as weight for squats, running, etc. and do a number of other strength building drills.
Make sure you eat enough protein and make sure you're getting enough calories. Other aspects of nutrition are also important but these are the main points that tend to be the problem for guys who are struggling to build strength. Sleep is also important for recovery and growth.

Greyskull LP.. but the only thing that actually made me stronger was eating more. I spent years undereating, not realizing that I was consuming like half of my necessary inputs.. as a result I was a skinnyfat kid since teenage years.

Anyone have any tips for healing muscular injuries? I got a muscle tear around the knee area and I've already been resting away from Judo for 2-3 weeks but it still hasn't fully healed yet and to make matters worse, I got up from bed in a way that put addition strain and the pain got so worse that now it's a sore across my entire leg. Is there a way to make it heal faster?
I am a white belt and I feel pretty assmad because this is the 4th-5th injury that has made me miss out on countless lessons this year alone and I feel it's delaying my possibility and ability to get better as a whole, I blame it on my retarded stubbornness and refusal to stop when I am clearly already fucked up or even the fact that I sometimes neglect warmups.
But still, I feel like a lazy fucktard waiting for this dogshit injury to heal up. Is there anything I can do to make it better or at least stay active in some way or not feel like I am taking a break from Judo?

Most schools study judo as a means of winning competitions rather than contextualizing competitions as a means of studying judo. If you can find the later they might get into atemi waza but it's not common. Look for places where the head judo instructor is also an instructor in a striking art and it'll improve your odds of getting atemi waza instruction in a judo context but I wouldn't expect it to be given much attention relative to the rest of the curriculum.
>>
>>242963
well yeah, because you can't use it for sports and shiet, but also because boomers don't understand the purpose of kata, the place where these atemi waza was taught in a context where judo is the protagonist, meaning using strikes for further kuzushi.

>>
>>242993
MGS3 CQC is based off japanese jiu jitsu which revolves around the idea of killing a samurai/japanese soldier after you lost your weapon, so naturally they will be susceptible to falling due to armor. A lot of it is sumi otoshi (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLU9wv52ni0&list=PLtz539PTepc16H2iu5F 3Q3D7_He1EYlIQ&index=10)
Also the dude who collab with konami to develop CQC is just some military otaku hack who's never been in a real fight...also it needed to be cinematographic
>>
>>242987
>Sambo fags know both and are decent in both
Only combat sambo fags. It should also be emphasized that the striking in combat sambo is solely meant to serve the grappling and effective striking isn't scored. It's not exactly MMA with a jacket on like people think it is. Lots of guys in combat sambo only know "swing hard and fast as you can until you get a jacket grip" and just fine.

>>242997
Thanks, I figured. Although even then, from my knowledge, I think most JJJ and Judo throws are identical, barring some stuff that Judo added. Either way wasn't sure if it was a Sumi Otoshi at first (in fact, I thought it was a weird modified version of Osoto Otoshi at first), it does look more like it now that I look at it in direct comparison.

In isolation, perhaps they are identical, but the footwork really stands out in CQC. It's all very aikido-ish in a way, and it obviously incorporates strikes. It's not particularly original and it's evidently very much based off a fantastical strength (something which Kano rejected). And if you consider where did it come from, it would be appropriate to call it Japanese jiu jitsu, which is already somewhat of an umbrella term.
>Yeah I figured, although wasn't he originally in the JSDF?
I was in the army of a *cucked pacifist* country too. You don't learn anything of use there, let alone a sophisticated system of unarmed combat. Motosada is a hack. Much like Kojima. That being said, like kojima, they kind of have interesting ideas sprinkled in, but you're surrounded by a mountain of pseudo-intellectualism and "armchair knowledge".

its a symptom of everything judo's become. it lost its direction a long time ago. muh sports IS the reason now, because nu-judo is just a sport. and it is gay, very gay.
why isn't atemi-waza taught? why isn't judo taught.
kanou died nearly a century ago, kodokan judo was sporterized by the olympics, and kosen was hugely popularized by those brazilian carny assholes. kanou's ideas are little more than an impediment to the tourney regiment of getting swole and winning big, if not a critique of it. its stodgy and philosophical. not for niggers and meatheads.

Typically that's what you do unless it's a match that really matters and you think you can run out the clock. Getting choked out isn't a big deal, you wake up quickly feeling like you took a solid nap.
>Just seems uncomfortable.
It's not that bad at all. Train for neck strength if you're worried about it (should be strength training anyway). Judo chokes are just blood chokes so they shouldn't hurt; air chokes and neck cranks from other submission grappling can hurt but those aren't allowed here.

de ashi harai / barai are all in the timing and you're most likely just going to piss people off by kicking them in the shins and ankles like that.
if you insist on using a soccer kick type motion, you can do something like a sticky-foot kosoto instead https://youtu.be/JaMu27ADzmc
unlike de ashi there's not as much emphasis on timing so it's a lot easier to hit

In addition to this question, I have several more
Is the gripping game in judo (belt grip, back of jacket grip, collar and sleeve) etc beneficial by itself in order to for example pull someone out of a premesis as a security guard
Are all grips as good as each other depending on the context? Or is there a grip most dominant? I assume it's the bear hug?
Do/ should people wear gumshields during randori?
Coming from a striking background im right handed but have left foot forward as I feel most balanced there. In judo it's the other way round.
How awkward would it be to play left leg forward in judo as a right handed person? Would I be handicapping myself?

>Why do people keep saying judo "teaches you to fall"?
It does. You spend a lot of time starting out drilling the proper reflexive response to falling and then all of your training after that reinforces those reflexes.
>Like people slip and then slap the floor like they're breakfalling?
Yes. I have several anecdotes on this subject if you care. This is the single most useful physical skill taught in judo.
>>
>>
>>244595
Idk whenever I've slipped over I've just caught my balance or managed to catch myself with my hand and run out of it or keep my balance
Obviously if someone is smashing you into the ground don't stick your hand out and tuck your neck
I don't understand le ukemi for falling over

That's because you don't do any exciting shit where you might fall and ukemi might come in handy.
>Is the gripping game in judo (belt grip, back of jacket grip, collar and sleeve) etc beneficial by itself in order to for example pull someone out of a premesis as a security guard
Not theoretically perhaps, but the constant training does give you that skill. The way you push/pull can be awkward at first.
>Are all grips as good as each other depending on the context? Or is there a grip most dominant? I assume it's the bear hug?
It depends on the player. I hate lapel and sleeve, love the overhand because I'm a manlet and I can pull my opponent down without risking getting thrown by ippon seoi nage too much (given my lower center of gravity). Being pulled down fucking sucks. But there is lower risk in other grips, so it all balances somewhat.
>Do/ should people wear gumshields during randori?
Only one dude in my dojo did and he was a huge faggot, even more than OP. Should? Nah, I don't think so. If you do it's usually because you're doing newaza with retards.
>How awkward would it be to play left leg forward in judo as a right handed person? Would I be handicapping myself?
In theory your stance is textbook stance to getting thrown by ippon seoi nage, o goshi, etc.
In practice, well, that's your stance dude. You already built yourself around it and if it feels the most natural well so be it. What you will absolutely need to modify is the fact that your feet need to be totally grounded, so don't lift your heels. And crouch slightly, but I assume boxers (I think you're a boxer or kickboxer) already do that.

Feeling a bit disillusioned with my progress after 6 months of classes. I go to a very competition-focused dojo and have not been close to hitting a single throw in randori yet. Lowest rank other than me is an orange belt with years of sambo experience.
Is it still useful to do randori with people that outskill me this much?

Yes, you're likely learning more than you realize. Sign up for a white belt tournament if you can, or visit another school within driving distance that has more orange/yellow/white/whatever-you-are belts.

Offering to take turns throwing each other in randori could help this guy be more aggressive.
When I first learned judo the instructor had us take turns being tori during randori so that you knew when it was time for you to be aggressive. Uke was instructed to not stall or muscle into any counters but he could try to keep his balance through good tai-sabaki and counter sloppy throws. We were told that randori was cooperative free-flow practice and I was caught off guard the first time I encountered people treating it like shiai. I prefer this more cooperative style of randori because it lets new judoka hit more throws and gives experienced judoka an opportunity to slow down and feel their opponent instead of just hammering in aggressively all the time and treating new guys like inanimate grappling dummies.

Does anybody else have that one black belt guy who shows up to class like once every 8 months and just destroys everybody with incredible power and insane velocity? Like nobody can throw him and he's just able to throw every other vetted black belt like they're children and it's incredible to watch.
I do. I wish he should up more often, but he just doesn't.

>I wish he should up more often, but he just doesn't.
It gets boring to constantly demolish everyone without effort or thought. Train hard enough over the next 8 months to give him a challenge and he might be interested in showing up more often.

Been reading this thread for a few days now and finally decided to attend a class. I haven't done any martial arts other than a few months of wrestling a did back in high school, and a few classes of BJJ I've been invited to over the years. Out of all the martial arts, Judo seems the most practical when it comes to learning self-defense, and it seems the most fun to practice. Came back from a beginner session at one of the local dojos, and I had a pretty good time. What should I expect to learn as a beginner that can only consistently attend classes once a week and what expectations should I have for my progress? Also, how can I tell if a dojo is good or not?
>>

>What should I expect to learn as a beginner that can only consistently attend classes once a week and what expectations should I have for my progress?
once a week is better than not going at all. i think progress will be slow, but you can mitigate that by taking an active stance in your learning both in and out of class.
>how can I tell if a dojo is good or not?
i think most of that comes down to common sense. are the mats clean? is hygiene held to a good standard? are your training partners friendly and welcoming? are the instructors involved and helpful? are you having fun?

gotta listen to your body and make that call
a few months ago i injured my elbow and a hard pull on my sleeve would cause me to grimace in pain, so i just adjusted my training by doing what i was comfortable doing, such as drills and uchi komi. i just didnt do randori for a while. eventually it healed.

That would be a counter. Watch blue's left foot after white hooks it. He pulls it back, which is what rotates the bottom-half of white's body to face his back towards the mat, while he pushes him forcefully into the mat with his upper-body. If he had just fallen on his back, it'd be nothing, but because he can show he "did something" to put him on his back, it's an ippon, or at least a wazari.
>>
So I injured myself back in March this year and Physio mentioned it's due to weak neck/shoulder/back that pulls on the right bicep. So when someone throws me to my right side, and I land on the mat, I feel my arm being 'pulled', like a cramp. I've since done stretches for a while, and this cramp-like feeling has occurred a few more times throughout the year, one when I was yanking, another when I was doing some light newaza, and again last week when someone was trying to do their harai-goshi. I've booked in an appointment this weekend to see what's going on or the progress... but honestly I am not happy with this useless body of mine when I can't go to practice. I understand rest is important but I want to train. I am disappointed.

tl;dr: slapping establishes safe posture
In my mind the main utility of slapping for a sideways breakfall is to help establish a stable, safe posture without over-rotating and hurting the shoulder still held by tori, hitting your head, straining your neck, etc. I've heard it's supposed to help spread out the impact across a larger surface area but it doesn't seem to make that huge of a difference in practice. For a backwards breakfall slapping flexes the shoulder blades to protect the spine, helps stabilize the direction of your tumble, and throws some weight towards your feet to help decelerate your head before it gets close to the ground.

It does have that function but if that were the only function you could instead tuck your arm in like for a parkour roll where nobody is holding your other arm.

Just don't post, that doesn't mean you have to slap the mat. You can just extend your arms (or don't) in a way that doesn't mean your whole body will fall upon it.

I've taken a few Judo classes so far, and at no point has any of the instructors taught me proper ukemi. I don't know anything about Judo, so I'm most likely speaking from ignorance, but I thought that ukemi was the very first thing that white belts are supposed to learn before practicing any throws or being thrown. Today I mentioned to one of the instructors that I really don't know anything about how to properly breakfall, and if it was possible to just work on those fundamentals before moving on. They just insisted I keep drilling Osoto-Gari and that I would learn as I go along. To my sensei's credit, he did correct my form and technique, and I did perform the breakfall for that move correctly, so I took his words to heart. That being said, it seems to me that the main focus of this dojo is mostly to prepare competitors for tournaments, unless your literal children, then in that case it's super basic fundamentals. Should I stick it out for a few more months, or should I immediately find another dojo that's willing to teach the fundamentals to adult beginners?
>>
>>247573
>or should I immediately find another dojo that's willing to teach the fundamentals to adult beginners?
Yes exactly. Your Judo will suck if you don't master and learn ukemi properly. Not to mention the fact that you could get hurt/injured
>>
>>247573
If you have better options nearby check those out, otherwise ask for some extra help refining your ukemi before/after class with the goal of being competent enough to do the solo drills (depicted in >>244595) at home on your own with your instructor keeping an eye on the results. Getting thrown properly will eventually teach you to fall properly and if it's being done gently enough on good mats you're not likely to get hurt but grinding dedicated ukemi practice at the start is safer and more efficient.

How to avoid knee injuries in judo?
Unironically go over heels hooks with some BJJ folks
Understand the breaking mechanics and the failure points of
>Tai otoshi above uke's knee
>Kani basami
>Why we fuck our legs and arms away to present the round of our back in breakfall
If you know a little about all those things you should naturally know when someone is doing something inherently dangerous to someone's knee

So in this video a guy already in handcuffs is effectively resisting being taken down and im wondering if judo could have been used here
https://m.youtube.com/shorts/jnMHVu-fBc0
At the end of the video the black guy takes a strong heavy stance and becomes very rigid and defensive. What could the officer have used to take him down? It just surprised me how much he is struggling to control him in any way considering he is as big if not bigger than him and his attempt at foot sweeps and head control has no effect
Personally I would have grabbed a leg

I both agree and disagree with this anon >>248146 At some point he could have done that, but what you mention is another scenario completely. He's taken a good stance and he's fighting back getting pushed forward. The cop is trying to execute a retarded ukigoshi/uchimata. The basketball player could have been easily swiped and put on his butt. Just block a foot and drag him.
>It just surprised me how much he is struggling to control him in any way considering he is as big if not bigger than him and his attempt at foot sweeps and head control has no effect
Those grips look strong, but they aren't strong at all. At one point the hand grabs below the neck, when he finally grabs the neck, his arm is too extended. The improper cuffing also doesn't help, it has literally added his center of gravity.
>Personally I would have grabbed a leg
Personally I wouldn't have cuffed that guy like a retard. All that negro had to do was run, that cop wasn't transporting him with a proper grip. But if I found myself in that fight, I would have grabbed him by the dreads. The moment you grab that and pull down hard he's going to fold easily.

When you drill ukemi you are training yourself to
1) Keep your head from bouncing off the floor.
2) Avoid posting on an elbow or outstretched arm
3) Keep your legs apart, so you dont smash your knees and ankles and squish your nuts.
The fundamentals carry over, even if you never land in the 'ideal' ulemi position.

I recently was teaching someone to breakfall
The number one goals of breakfall
>Present the whole of your side so you dont shatter a hip
>Tuck your hands so you don't spear your socket and dislocate your arm
>Tuck your leg so you don't blow your fucking knee out
>Tuck your head so you don't crack your god damn skull open
The slap has barely anything to do with the most important aspects of a breakfall
But the amount of momentum you dissipate with a slap could very well be a forward or backwards roll, point is you're regaining control, otherwise if you think the slap is the key to the breakfall you're just wrong
