Est. 1859 | Ateneo Orsem 2009 Forum

I'll be taking up Judo! I'm hoping that it will be fun!
I'm taking it at 10-11 AM during Tuesdays and Thursdays.
I'm not scaring anyone or whatever, but I read somewhere - Atenista.net, I think - that someone dislocated his elbow. Yikes!!!

Haha. Me too! Gahd, I'm half scared and excited. I just hope I have a girl classmate. Lol. =))

^ Well, at least it's only your upper body.
I am actually a weak person. LOL! I meant that in a physical aspect. Haha!

Will they require us to wear the real uniform for Judo? Are we going to buy them inside or outside Ateneo?

Im taking judo...hehe me and giselle are classmates! Dont know what to expect..but im guess its gonna be about a lot of throws and grapples...

Are we required to buy the judo uniform?

Yes, you will have to wear a judo gi (the "real" uniform). You can't use any other martial arts uniform. You may buy them outside Ateneo, but you may also buy the ones that the teacher will bring. It's cheaper than the branded Adidas gi (which is also available in class). I can't remember how much I bought it for though.

Don't worry about dislocated body parts! It rarely happens. Really. You'll learn the proper way to throw your opponent, as well as the proper way to fall from a throw so you don't get injuted.

Honestly, the drills for the various throws and grapples sort of scared me more than the actual sparring because you anticipate getting thrown during drills. Sparring is fun!

Drills? What kind of drills?

Thanks for that!
I was kind of more afraid about sparring, though. HAHAHA!

 

Weee judo 9-10.  My first class on tuesdays and thursdays. Nothing like getting thrown around to jumpstart your day.

Hooray for another Sec K! It's an energy pumper, Judo is. I'd rather get thrown around in the morning, rather than in the afternoon where I'll be too tired to even think.

Agreed. Math's my last class T-Th and if Judo came after that then I'd be in for a world of pain. 0.0 Wonder what our uniforms are gonna look like.

 

@tinki: I think we'd look cool Though I can't say much, I have yet to see what a Judo Gi looks like.

@meesaime: No worries. You're sure to find one. But in case there's none in this forum, they'll all be there on the day itself. Lol

@giselle haha lookie I googled it.


They DO look cool.  We're gonna be thrown around. In style. Don't know if ours are gonna look like that, though.

@miss_veron08: Hmmm, yes, well there is that. Hopefully.

@assyla: aww don't worry I've read somewhere that there are a lot of us girls who take judo. =]

Ako rin eh. Super weak. :| Feeling ko gagawin akong ragdoll.

It's more about the technique, really, like unbalancing your opponent and then doing your thing.  Or using your opponent's momentum to throw him to the ground.

Anyway, you guys will learn how to fall properly first, then rolls, pins, and then throws. Also, you might be able to have a sparring match with a varsity member. Don't worry, they'll go easy on you. They'll probably let you pin them/throw them too. :D

Free size yan? Or kailangan i-repair for smaller people [ like me ]? XD

---

There are only three (? not sure) sizes, but that sizing is only for the jacket. Pants are free size, so no problems there. The jacket doesn't have to be a perfect fit (since you'll use the belt to secure it anyway). The only thing that matters when choosing the jacket is checking if the sleeves reach near your wrist when you spread your arms straight.

Sir Ali will help you guys if you have problems fitting your gi. :)

Hmm, we'll look good being thrown? :) Let's think positively. We'll look hot, throwing people around. XD

---

I like that, looking hot throwing people around. Haha! I'm afraid I can't throw people. I'm a short girl, 5-footer. Hahaha!

 

---

It's ok! The shorter, the better since it's easier to crouch and throw somebody. :) Long legged people tend to have their legs hooked by the shorter ones. :P (that's what I did during the finals. hahaha!)

 

hiya classmate.. =3

T-Th 3-4 din ako.. haha

Judo rin here.

T-Th, 11-12 PM. I spot a few classmates! (hi, miss_veron08 and kengelo)

^That's good to hear! Thanks for that!

BTW, is Judo an easy A? :D

---

Just don't overcut or use any move that'll seriously injure your partner (like hurting the spine area), attend the finals, and you'll be fine. :)

Yoo-hoo! Anyone here, Judo. TTH 10-11. I'm afraid I won't be having girl classmates. Boo.

HELLO CLASSMATES!

^ Hey there, classmate! Good for you, at least you have some background regarding it. Are you male or female?

You get to order a gi from Coach Ali or you can borrow/buy somewhere else. You can ask him for help regarding your size. :)
