Thoug...Heh - yeah, may keep my jacket on next time. Though in practical terms, is more comfortable doing it the semi-nudist way. :p<BR/><BR/>Think I did meet Chris, and spar with him too: there was a very tall guy there who had done ju jitsu, and was also doing a medical degree. He was friends with the brown belt I mentioned, presumably from living with him or something.<BR/><BR/>Yeah, I read in the Eddie Bravo book that the lockdown is from judo, so will be interesting to see if the judoka there have some incredibly painful counter to it or something. Although I don't tend to use it to just sit there, but rather to help move the trapped leg about (i.e., knock them off balance if they're gearing up to pass).slideyfoothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05374174757753962274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19359626.post-58563280514832213692008-10-08T13:52:00.000+01:002008-10-08T13:52:00.000+01:00My friend Chris from the University of Liverpool J...My friend Chris from the University of Liverpool Ju Jitsu club I used to train at is starting a 4 year medicine degree at Warwick, after a bit of persuading he agreed to try out the judo club as a change. You may have bumped into him in training, as he said that he went along to the first session of term and it was good but knackering. <BR/><BR/>I got to run a few sessions for the UoL JJ club last year going through basic positioning, guard, escapes and passing, so everyone got an introduction to BJJ style groundwork. He is a pretty nice guy but is incredibly tall, once he gets the hang of foot sweeps and uchimata (http://www.judoinfo.com/quiz0297_1.htm) it will be an absolute nightmare trying to close the distance on him for any throw.<BR/><BR/>I was quite surprised to find out that the lockdown is actually a traditional judo technique which can be used to set up leg locks, but is used in modern competitions to avoid getting pinned and stall out time on the bottom until the referee stands it back up… <BR/><BR/>Glad you made it to the Warwick club it sounds like their coaching style is pretty decent, the topless skipping is a rather “unique” way of warming down.<BR/><BR/>Mark.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
