Because a well-timed kick is a foot sweep and poor timed foot sweep — is a kick! Read and get mentally sharp — you will be amazed at how your focus will increase. Play Chess!
Get a book and learn. Because the game of Ches, like Judo requires YOU to see things 3, 4, 5, 6 and sometimes 7 moves ahead. Just think about some of the best judo players and grappler that you know.
Lloyd was my Brazilian Jiujitsu coach, training partner and my judo student and then he became my judo coach. When it comes to match strategy he is like a genius. He gets up every morning and either reads or writes in order to keep his mind sharp and stay on top of the numerous businesses that he runs. Well, other styles of music tend to make you operate off of an emotional high.
Before competing I never listened to music — I needed to think! He also holds a Doctor of Philosophy Ph. But many of the top judo clubs in the world are one and a half mat areas and a small weights area. The judokas in the club should represent the fundamental aspects if judo, mutual welfare and benefit.
Therefore they should understand that not everything is about them and that everyone is there to learn and enjoy the benefits of judo. You must have a particular mindset about judo. If you do not like to learn then judo is not a sport for you.
If you do not like to lose then Judo is not for you and if you do not like to grow and develop your current skills into better skills then judo is not for you. Judo requires dedication a d a lifetime of study. Judo is not just a martial art or sport but a journey. Not just a journey from white to black belt and beyond but further. Judo is an art where you never stop learning and growing and there is always something new to learn and develop.
The day you think you know it all is the day you will begin to plateau in not only your judo skills but in your enjoyment for the art of judo. So stay strong mentally and you will go far in judo. You have heard me say it over and over again. You must have a good strength and conditioning program if you want to get better at judo. I am talking about a program that is written specifically for judo. I have written fitness and conditioning manual called workouts for judo that answers all your questions about fitness and conditioning for judo.
Referees are also instructed to penalize players for negative judo. So the problem for young competitors is that if they focus only on competition tactics, and adopt a low risk style of fighting, they will never grow as judoka. In fact I devoted a good part of my life to being a competitor, but I appreciate Good Judo even more, and I am not alone in this. The article described how Yamashita admitted to practicing kata on a regular basis.
He felt that when he was having problems with technical aspects of his competition performance, that kata helped improve his techniques and made his throws more precise. This is a radical concept for a competition fighter — voluntarily practicing kata, and not just for grading points. Here is a World Champion who regularly returns to good judo, in the form of kata, to hone his techniques for competition.
This did not alleviate my concerns as tai-otoshi is a very fast, powerful body-drop, and I had seen how fast and how hard Sato had thrown other members of the French training squad. But since he was restricted to one technique, I felt confident I could come up with a suitable block, if not a counter. How wrong I was!! Even though Sato only used one technique, he was able to enter this throw from eight different directions and with an equal number of feints. The result was that in a five minute randori , I was picking myself up off the mat for four of those minutes.
But with pain comes gain, and I learned an important lesson that day. A good judoka can select a favorite technique tokui-waza and then build a family of entries and combinations around that technique.
Sato would use tai-otoshi in combination with deashi-barai , sasae-tsurikomi-ashi, ouchi-gari , and even uchi-mata. Each of these was just a set-up to off-balance his opponent so that he could finish them with the body-drop — every throw a bone-jarring Ippon.
So for the club judoka who is aspiring to be a judo champion, it is important not to neglect practicing Good Judo. My personal training program called for doing good judo with lots of big attacks in club randori three nights a week.
