I wanted to learn grapling sana, kaso talagang hindi maganda flexibility ng anatomy ko for it.

 

Actually, I dont mind sparring every now and then. I used to spar a little. Sparring teaches you attitude of patience. Kasi huwag ka dapat mapipikon pag napupuruhan ka lagi. At kung kaya mo maging mas mapagpasensya sa taong sinusuntok ka sa sikmura at ilong, mas nagagawa mong maging mapagpasensya sa ibang tao sa labas ng gym. Tsaka iba din kasi yung level ng sportsmanship na after nyo magsapakan, magkakamayan at magaakapan pa kayo.

 

Yun nga lang, I was too sissy to want a boxers nose. lol. So I just stuck to the basic drills to have better cardio. Yeah I guess you are right, I am not really looking forward for any competitive fighting. Just something I guess to develop external and internal discipline.

 

you are learning grappling for fitness, and discipline. you can learn the lot even if you lose all your matches. it is not as scary as boxing since you can always tap out. the good thing with grappling is that you can spar all you want, and not get as stressed compared to striking arts. however, i noticed some guys just dont wanna hold on to other guys, or are iffy with sweat and stuff.

 

you wont get a boxer's nose. you are just nervous of stepping into the ring, probably because you had a bad experience with someone who was trying to destroy you (we all have that experience).

 

try getting over that fear ... it would be easier if you sparred with someone you can be friends with. i made a lot of good friends with sparring. most beginners like me as a sparring mate too. i talk to them and teach them while allowing them to hit me, just so they can get a better feel out of it and learn to deal with adrenaline surges.

Judo. 2nd Degree Black belt. 14 years Judo Practitioner. Participated in national and regional tournaments. takedowns and ground works are integrated in Judo. Judo is not just a sport and a martial art. It is also a philosophy. Please check this link for more information about Judo http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judo.

 

Other than U.P. Diliman, are there any schools w/c offer Judo classes in Quezon City?
