The art of Judo is awesome, in my mind very close to and equal to bjj. However, it is a TMA. Most US dojo's:
-Give belts out too quickly
Perhaps at the local YMCA, yes....as has been discussed in detail on this thread...belts in Judo arent held with the same mystical reverance as in BJJ (especially in Japan)
-Have a bunch of untested old men and kids as black belts
Untested as in how? You arent just HANDED a black belt in Judo...If you think tested means winning fights on the Ultimate Fighter TV Show then you definitly are in the wrong school. You have to understand that people all have different reasons for learning a new skill....We all arent learning Martial Arts so we can walk around in fight gear and say "LOOK AT ME I'M TOUGH!"
-Think that we want a new eastern religion and way of life, when all we really want is to throw a dude.
Not sure where you were studying dude... Did you stumble into a Yoga class by accident??? Judo is a Japanese art and is it that hard to bow and show your instructor and fellow students some respect? If all you really want to do is a throw a dude, then get some instructional Judo DVDs and start a fight club with a bunch of local teenage wiggers and trailer park trash.
"-Are 100% closed minded when it comes to bjj and feel that they have nothing to learn from bjj."
Perhaps this comes from the elitist attitude that CERTAIN advocates of BJJ seem to have.... How receptive are you to the Jehova's witnesses that come to your door to tell you exactly "WHY THEIR WAY IS BETTER AND WHY YOU SHOULD DO THE SAME".
-Think that a 50 year old 108 lbs. women can kick my ass 'cause she's a green belt.
LMAO...believe me, I've been a black belt in Judo for many many years....while I'm a LITTLE heavier then 108 lbs and a LITTLE younger then 50 years old, I know my limitations and would just hope that I'd be able to (fingers crossed that the situation never presents intself) defend myself enough to run like hell in an ugly situation. The overwhelming majority of women in Judo hardly believe they can kick ass on guys in tapout beanies, we are just trying to be a little bit more capable of defending ourselves and a be a little bit better at a sport we love....However this does sound strangely like a twist on an urban legend I've heard that any purple belt in BJJ could EASILY defeat Mike Tyson, Ray Lewis, Alexander Karelin, Dieselnoi and Kosei Inoue in a streetfight.
