revised What makes this seated Daito-ryu technique work?
edits should be inline and comprehensible, not forcing me to read the saga of the question as it evolves

comment What makes this seated Daito-ryu technique work?
@Trevoke I edited your question after your second edit, but now there's a third. Your edits should revise the existing question, not add "edit" qualifiers at the end that everyone has to read (along with the comments) in order to figure out what you're asking. Edit it as many times as necessary such that the end result is one well-stated, clear question.

comment What do instructors look for before allowing students to compete in judo?
Maybe I'm not phrasing myself well. I don't mean "who is allowed to compete?" (which your rules links refer to) or "who will best represent the dojo?" (which your paragraphs about techniques to know addresses). I'm trying to ask "what should a judo coach make sure of before he allows a new adult white belt to compete?"

comment How can I practice shooting for a combat situation?
@WayneInML True. Competition is my go-to answer for adding an adrenaline dump with attendant hearing loss, attackers, tunnel vision, et al...maybe a paintball game interspersed with circuit training would be better?

comment How can I improve my teaching of ukemi or break falling?
"playing in the dirt releases endorphins" What do you mean? Playing inside doesn't?

comment How dangerous is it to choke someone unconscious or to be choked unconscious?
@stslavik If the similarities between choking and epilepsy hold true, which the electroencephalogram only hints at, then repeated chokings-to-unconsciousness might cause damage (such as shrinking of the hippocampus), which would give us a marginal increase in health risks. Since we're talking about maybe half a dozen choke-outs over a lifetime maximum, as compared to uncontrolled epileptics, my Bat-signal is not going off.

comment Wide shoes for martial arts
@Trevoke I disagree. It's pretty well-understood what a TKD class entails: indoor practice of kihon, kata, and kumite. (Translate to Korean for best results.)

comment Wide shoes for martial arts
Have you discussed this with your instructor? They may recommend, or only allow, some specific kinds of shoes in class. Particularly for sparring.

comment Wide shoes for martial arts
I'm pretty sure that shoes are sold by width: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoe_size#Width_designators - though you might need to find a specialty shoe store that has your specific size on the rack.
