Anyone heard about olympic hopeful myles porter? He is in the 100 kg class...and he's blind.

Sensei is on this kick of making us randori with our eyes closed. The traininf blows, but it's definately helps my tachiwaza.
Last week, uke had his hands on his belt, eyes closed; tori could do whatever the hell he wanted except for back ward throws. Everything else was fair game. All I'ma gonna say is thank goodness I did Tai Chi for 8 years, lol.

I think Judo is an excellent beginning, and it is a great sport, I really like it philosophy.
beginning? what is the intermediate? what is the end?

Judo-like techniques are pretty universal. Take a look at this: http://thearma.org/essays/WurmTandC.html
Interesting. I gotta say though...those plates look more like a scene from a foreign gay porn movie.
So what do you guys think about the whole martial arts origin theories? Greece? Alexander the great? China? Da mo? Pre-historic?
I don't believe that ALL martial arts originated from one source, but rather several arts were created at several times in several locations...and the more modernized technology and travel became, the more easily arts started to influence each other from contact.
"I don't know if anyone is known with the art of "sitting on your couch" here, but in my eyes it is also to be a martial art.
It is the art of avoiding dangerous situations. It helps you to avoid a dangerous situation by not actually being there. So lets say there is a dangerous situation going on somewhere other than your couch. You are safely seated on your couch so you have in a nutshell "difused" the situation."
Common sense tells us that the first culture to "militarize" would have been the first to formalize some sort of MA.
As for fighting per say, that has been with us from the very beginning, though the preferince has always been armed rather than unarmed.
It is debatable which was first, rock-in-hand or stick-in-hand.
One can assume that perhaps the Babylonians were the first to formalize MA, were they the first to have a military?

The direct transmission theory seems to be used most often to validate the art of practitioners unsure of it's veracity, applicability, or pimpitude.

UCHIMATA BABY!
Was doing some randori tonight and scored a flawless ippon with an uchimata makikomi!
First time I tried that throw against a resisting opponent. I think I found my favorite judo throw. The other guy had to sit out after that....wow.

Awesome!
In our club we say "No Uchimata, No Compete". Seriously- you can hit him with uchi while moving forward, backward, or to the side. I've found that tai-otoshi is a great follow up to a missed uchi. Throw a hard right Uchi- he steps out, or for some reason you didn't get under him enough, he'll be standing on his right leg- still bent over from your Kazushi (his left will be still in the air)- drop your right just in front of his, and BAM- tai-otoshi. Maintain the same Kazushi throughout- don't let up the pressure for a second.
Thanks, I'll try that!
I've been doing more leg throws...have a hard time getting in the hip throws because everyone randori's like they're in competition instead of at the kodokan. So it's tough.
But overall...lovin the judo. It's a great compliment to any system.

Hey-
Olympic Judo video is on www.NBColympics.com. They're airing it pretty raw, but there's some good stuff in there.
