"In two years", he needs something sooner. Fast tract him into a boxing club........... Being picked on at that young age will effect him for years.
Not something you want to hear, but if there is a spark in him boxing will bring it out.

One whiskey, one scotch, one beer...
Waiting on dinner--homemade pizza.
I meant it's going to take him 2 years to start beating other skilled Judo players. He should have confidence in his skills by May or so

ks - learning to fly
Senior Master
first question - while he's getting picked on - WHERE is the instructor??? that would never fly at my club!
Second, we had a kid like that - not the getting picked on part - but who didn't realize his own strength or potential and we did our best to encourage him and remind him to watch his control but keep up the hard work and as he climbed the ranks - he gained control and confidence in his own ability...He was also 14 when he started and at 6' 1" - was all legs!!
And BELIEVE ME! Once he grew mentally into his body - he was awesome at sparring!! I would let your guy know he has friends there too and take the time to work with him - I'm willing to bet that with some consistent motivation - this 'kid' could turn out to be quite a leader!
Gotcha, my mind set was thinking outside of the club setting, like at school or in his personal life.
I'm pretty sure he means getting picked on outside of the club.
Agreed, let him know he has friends in the club/dojo, and let him know of his strength and potential, to help him get self-confident even before he matures into his body.Second, we had a kid like that - not the getting picked on part - but who didn't realize his own strength or potential and we did our best to encourage him and remind him to watch his control but keep up the hard work and as he climbed the ranks - he gained control and confidence in his own ability...He was also 14 when he started and at 6' 1" - was all legs!!
Going to sleep now, first final tomorrow morning. Night all!
No boxing? JKD, maybe.
Friday again!
Finished my first final. No idea how I did..definitely got a 100 on the written portion, but pretty sure I bombed the practical. Problem is, I have no idea how much each section is worth..hopefully its like the midterm and the written is worth a lot more than the practical.
