Well. This is embarrassing - especially since I'm usually the one giving advice around here.

I've been doing grappling (wrestling, judo, BJJ) a long time, so I thought this problem would go away with time. Instead its taken "new and interesting" proportions.

So I figure, for the first time, I'd talk about it and see if any of you can relate, have answers, or are demi-gods amongst us who live charmed lives. It's high time I figure this little problem out - and you all are my brain trust.

The Problem: Its a mental block that keeps me from going more than 50-60% in randori - sometimes shiai. I stop committing to techniques, stop taking the initiative, and become a "counter" thrower.

What's going through my head:

  1. I am 210-220 lbs, 5'11" and relatively strong / athletic. My partners are not. I have to go easy.

    1. Nuance 1: My judo class is mostly people several weight classes below me (3 or more weight classes). Even the nidans are smaller than me. My sensei is my weight class, but he's frequently getting hurt working with the younger competitive people and gets taken out for months at a time.

    2. Nuance 2: Conversely, my BJJ class is people my weight class or above - but they are BJJ folks - so I can't go hard. To their credit, they are taking the opportunity to learn stand up from me - but I still have to go easy on them.

    3. Nuance 3: I don't hold back from fellow wrestlers.

  2. If I go past 60% I hurt people.

    1. Just in the last few months:

      1. I hurt an ikkyu with an osoto-gari (he did a good ukemi, but fell on his bad shoulder).

      2. I rung a nikyu's bell with an osoto-gari.

      3. I hurt a younger competitive kid with an Uchi-mata (Sensei told me to throw him with Uchimata if he held a defensive stance for too long - I did and he hurt his "ribs").

      4. I tweaked a nidan's back with a kosoto gari. (Honestly don't know how this happened - I think he has back problems)

Apparently in the upcoming World Games -- where non-Olympic sports have their version of the Olympics -- there are two styles of Jujitsu being contested. Fighting and ne-waza. https://twg2022.com/sports/ju-jitsu/

The ne-waza ruleset appears to closely resemble the IBJJF ruleset. The fighting division is a bit more strange...it allows striking (with restrictions) until grips are established on the gi, at which point the rules mirror standard Judo rules.

I'm curious if anyone here practices these styles and/or trains for these competitions? How prevalent are these competitions?

I somehow managed to break my fourth toe (the one next to the pinky toe) entering ne-waza. Was wondering if anyone else has had a similar injury and how it was going back to judo?

What is Judo?

Jūdō (柔道) is a Japanese teaching founded by Jigoro Kano (1860–1938), an educationalist and martial artist. By Kano's intention, Judo is a martial art, means to physical education and a pedagogic system. The guiding principles of Judo are making the best use of one's physical and mental powers as well as mutual welfare.

Today millions of people worldwide practice Judo, most of them as combat sport, but also for fitness, as means to self-defense and many other reasons.
