joybran, you said & described it right - In a BJJ context I’ve seen injuries to the ribs coming from throws, correct me if I'm wrong. I know rib injuries take a long time to heal.   Unlike a broken arm, you can’t wear a cast for broken ribs. You like jiu-jitsu & I respect it same with LJK but for me jiu-jitsu isn’t a smooth and steady form of exercise.

I suppose rib injuries are possible with overly rough throws in jiu-jitsu, especially if the person being thrown doesn't know how to land well, but they are even more likely with kicking and punching styles. Jiu-jitsu is mostly about learning techniques for submission holds after getting the opponent to the ground. Those kinds of holds are painful, which is why tapping out is so important, but they don't cause lasting damage or even any pain once they are released.

 

I don't think people study jui-jitsu for the exercise. There are a lot of other reasons to study martial arts, and not just to learn how to fight. But for people who want to learn to fight, jiu-jitsu is very practical. Most real fights end up on the ground, so a grappling style is important to know. Kicks, like in Taekwondo or karate, can be very powerful and certainly look impressive, but they can leave the kicker vulnerable to having their foot grabbed and landing on the ground very hard. That is why mixed martial arts now includes so much grappling instead of just kicking and punching.

 

In reality, teaching a woman jiu-jitsu for self-defense isn't all that practical. I took two very different classes from Rorian Gracie, son of the founder of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu Helio Gracie. One was regular jiu-jitsu like JG is becoming so good at. The other was women's self-defense. Instead of beating an opponent with a submission hold, the goal was getting away from an attacker. Very different techniques, although some jiu-jitsu moves are good for both.

 

I think the best reasons for studying martial arts are neither exercise nor fighting. JG's reasons are the best. For me, focus and self-confidence were important.

I love this scene. They are sparring with some basic jiu-jitsu moves, but it almost looks like they are dancing. Jiu-jitsu never seemed this sexy when I did it. 

Thank you so mcuh for sharing those beautiful images... you are right, they seem like they are dancing. it was lovely, sexy but more than anything it was sad. all in all a beutiful scene. i was really surprised

I was so sad about it... i understand there is a world cup going on... but why it has to be while LL was airing... why always make things for JG more difficult?

Hi joybran, thanks for sharing the pictures. After so many pictures we saw that they can't stop laughing now, they're focused on each other with serious face this time with her eyes that show her wanting to win on this sparring. The story is getting better & better.

 

 

 

you are right the story is getting ways better... how am i supposed to live until episode 13?

The scene is so sweet, I had to watch it over and over. It is obvious that LGJ is trying not to hurt SYJ, but that works for the scene since BSP is trying to teach HJY enough to protect herself so he can reluctantly leave her. He is rough enough to make her take it seriously but, when he throws her over his hip, she wouldn't be able to land on her feet without his help. She looks so fierce and he looks so sad. 

 

The BTS is especially sweet. Learning to tie the belt correctly is so hard, it is really nice that JG is doing it for her. A kick to the ribs is definitely cheating in jiu-jitsu but also very likely to backfire, so JG's reaction is very funny.

everything you said

 

@willenette @joybran

thank you for the comments about jj. i'm pretty ignorant about martial arts (no matter how much i read about them in wikipedia. lol) but i always enjoyed watching any kind of martial arts since i was a kid.

i think i read or heard that jj is a technique were you dont need to be strong to defeat your oponent, so it could be very helpful for women...

In fact i didn't selected wich one to post. i closed my eyes and just pick some from every scene.

 

Anyway hope you enjoy

Hi glassnokamen, thanks for sharing the clip. Lee Joon Gi is so sweet towards Seo Ye Ji and even helps tie the belt of her blue jiu jitsu uniform. I like their sparring. It's fun watching them despite that we can see her falling over and over again due to his attacks. He always drops her on the mat.  No matter how much Seo Ye Ji tries to knock Lee Joon Gi down, she is eventually unsuccessful. Although, she is really impressive for someone who has no training in martial arts! Do I stand corrected? -  I love watching that hilarious BTS clip - Please stay healthy, LJK!

The funniest part was that she couldn't knock him down even when he wasn't doing anything to stop her. I saw at least four times when she should have been able to bring him down if she had executed the technique correctly. Great techniques can make up for a lot of difference in strength, but as she said, it is harder than it looks. The one I found the funniest was when she tried to flip him over her head with her legs. He was in the perfect position for her to do it, but she couldn't manage the movement. No shame for a woman with no experience. She did manage to execute a nice armbar at the end of the scene, although the editing probably made it seem better than it was. He was giving her so much help with it. So much fun to watch.

Hi antoniaclamens,  I like how he is training her to look after and protect herself. So NICE that Lee Jun Ki is well-versed in jijitsu in real life. We can see that he looks confident and relaxed in this scene.   The BTS of the scene is so cute. I can say that they really have good chemistry on/off-cam.

I'm impressed by her, too. It was game of her to try, and she did well enough to make the scene work great.

 

I think SYJ is the best leading lady LJG has ever had. She is a terrific actress, they look great together, and they have super chemistry.

She is so relatable.imagine this situation at a fan meeting.

You make me think... i like NSM a lot, specially in TBDW (maybe director is good at female leadings) and i like a lot leading girl in Two Weeks... everyone who reads my posts MLSHR related know that i had a love/hate relationship with HS, but i really like IU a lot. But SYJ is so good in LL but as the drama hasn't ended i will wait for my verdict about her... so far i don't know wich one is my favorite leading lady

Hi antoniaclamens, usually BTS clip is short. The shorter the better—usually from one to four minutes in length is ideal. I love watching BTS. It's always valuable and usually entertaining!

I totally agree with you. Their characters are really in sync and I find that his leading ladies are best when they are feisty and his equal like in Arang and the Magistrate and now LL.  There was good chemistry with IU in MLSHR at the beginning but her character became wishy washy towards the end (writer's fault?).

 

On another note, I have to mention that I love his hairstyle in LL. His best yet, although I do like his long hair style in K&C and MLSHR. *sigh* I miss him in sageuks and I hope he would do a Goryeo drama again. I will even accept a Joseon one
