Learn to accept the fall. The aim of the game in judo is don't get thrown but throw the other guy. All of the injuries I've had in judo was because I didn't accept it. Your opponent has earned it let them have it get up and start again

This was the same advice I got from a senior Judoka; it's the best advice a beginner Judoka can receive.

So the excact opposite of what you do in wrestling and bjj?

As someone who has recently started judo at 40, I needed to hear this!

I love how you shared the perspectives of different Judokas.

Although I fully support the idea of going different places, I recommend: 1. Caution in doing some research about the place you want to train 2. Announce yourself to the Coach: Give a call, and explain who you are, where you come from, and who is your teacher 3. Keep it friendly even if there will always a person with ego issues 4. Know how to handle your own, i.e. command respect.

I have come across some judoka people with higher belt colors where they want the person to join the school so they can practice on the 1st time beginner on their 2nd or 4th day and all I'm doing is sitting there watching the class.When their class is over I'll say to them,"YOU WANT ME TO JOIN SO I CAN BE YOUR LAB RAT, SO YOU GUY'S HAVE SOMETHING OR SOMEONE TO PRACTICE ON,AS IF I DON'T HAVE A CHOICE". BUT AT THE SAME TIME I NEVER TOLD ANYONE THAT I SPENT YEAR'S AT TAE KWON DO (GREEN BELT,THIRD OUT OF FIVE BELTS) TOOK BOXING LESSONS AND FOUGHT GOLDEN GLOVES AND THEN GOT INTO FULL CONTACT KICKBOXING, no I won't be ANYBODY'S lab rat so I can be tossed and thrown around and put into some armlock or whatever because of their ego.Ya, I can still eye gouge,bite,kick to the knees and really do a number on their knees as well as shins/calf's.This happened at a BJJ school.My point being,if a higher rank belt wants to work with 1st timmer,great then work with him/her but be careful what you wish for, you NEVER NO WHO YOUR UP AGAINST.

@@craigbosko2229 Not sure what you mean by a higher belt. Where I am from, a black belt never invites a lower rank than brown. If anybody else wants to spar with brown or higher they must come forth. If it's a small club then fine...when there are several people to choose from. picking a lower belt only shows weakness of the mind, laziness, then why come to practice in the first place.

Tips all beginners starting on this journey need to hear! Great content!

Things i tell new students 1.) embrace the mat, it's your friend 2.) practice practice practice ukemi 3.) you're gonna be super sore tomorrow best of luck *laugh*

As someone who been doing Judo now for a little of a year I found this very useful. Thank you

I'm starting Judo in a club where it's almost like half black belts half color belts very few white belt, some times i'm the only noob. Everybody is real nice and comphensive but it's hard to follow their trainning when you barely know the basics.

The club that I came up in (I am 14 years in now) was the same way. You will definitely suffer from situations where there is "too many cooks" and the teaching can get muddied and confused. like having 10 people try to tell you how to swing a golf club all at once. I would say to not be afraid to point this out to whoever runs the club while off the mat, if they are a good coach they likely already know or have picked up on it and shouldn't be offended. I say off the mat because if you bring it up in the middle of training it may inadvertently come off as disrespectful. My advice is to grab a singular higher belt to work 1 on 1 with for the duration of the day and try to stay isolated. As a lower belt you really don't have to authority to command this but again if you speak off the mat and suggest that you would like to try this it will likely be taken more positively. I wish you luck and enjoy the journey.

I understand your struggle @thesavagesouls When I was a white belt I was like this too. It’s great to gather and be an open book. But in my opinion the internet will be your best friend in learning the basics if you need help. Ijf academy is a great KZread channel. There you can have the knowledge to decide what is basic and what is molded.

I wish i knew about the injuries and how they can effect your life. GET INSURANCE and get informed get educated!!!

I wish I know back then, how to handle people who won't let go my cloth when they fall . . in training. You read correct, not in sparring or competition, but in training. [holding opponent cloth when falling, means didn't do brake fall]

@@trueblue9101 I bend forward to soften their fall, so the teacher told me to try stay upright. What you might want to do . . Is fall on them, and if you feel like it, land using your elbow & knee (against the body below), because that's what opponent would probably do in competition.

Actually a kid starting judo doesn't need to know anything. Just the will to learn is needed.

A black belt is a white belt that just didn’t stop. Going to new places will show you weak spots in your abilities.

You fall seven times, you stand up 8? That's not how math works. I stand up for every time I fall down. If I fall down 7 times and stand up 7 times, where does the 8th time come from? Aren't I all ready standing? Line up in circle alphabetically by height. Judo is 90% mental and 50% physical. You have to give 110%. Let's get this thing turned around 360 degrees.

@@HunGerMovies Yes, you start standing. You fall once, you get up once and you are standing again. You don't get up until AFTER you fall. You fall 7 times, you get up 7 times (after each time you fall) and you are standing. How can you get up an 8th time? You are all ready standing. Math. You can't get up more times than you fall down.

@@lancegoulet8100 Sorry, I do not mean to hurt you or something, but you sound autistic with this nitpicking. But if you nitpicking, it is easy to nitpick your statement too. You do not understand the metaphor of development and you want to be that one guy who takes everything literally like Bautista's character in the Guardians of the Galaxy. So nitpicking your statement, he does not specify when he stands up, he can stand up at the beginning right after the warming up, maybe he take a rest on his back after he stood up the last time, then stand up again, etc.. This was not a math equation, he was just telling numbers, it was not 1 fall=1 stand up. And again, it was metaphor, which you clearly do not get, after the 7th fall, you just finally learn it, develop, become stronger and get to the next level, and you do not fail the 8th time.
