of Judo Martial Arts - Part 1

Judo
Training - Sweeping, Lifting, Pulling Foot Sweep
This technique is arguably the most difficult of all the foot sweeps
and requires excellent timing as well as the confidence to make
the deep entry and the big step necessary to throw the opponent.
It requires considerable balance and a flexible back and is almost
impossible to force. Realistically, if it is to work at all, the
opponent must be moving and the timing must be perfect.lt is also
the most limited of the ashi-waza in as...

Judo Training
- Hand Techniques
The te-waza or hand techniques comprise some of the major contest
techniques such as seoi-nage, tai-otoshi,and various leg grabs,
as well as some of the most difficult of all judo throws such as
sumi-otoshi and uki-otoshi. The inclusion of eminently practical
techniques alongside others considered by many practicing judoka
with years of experience to be extremely difficult is no accident.
The hand techniques require whole body...

Rules Revealed - Is That Legal? - Part 1
Inevitably during our randori sessions, the question is asked,
"Is that judo legal?" After watching the referees at the New York
Open, it became apparent that the rules for competition judo are
applied strictly. The referees were quick to penalize a competitor
for actions that occur routinely during our randori sessions. So,

Judo Techniques
- Advancing Foot Sweep
Tori and uke both take orthodox right-handed grips, and tori pushes
against uke, making a small step forwards on his right foot to provoke
resistance, and then steps backwards on his right foot making uke
follow him. Tori has created a gap between his body and uke's which
uke naturally tries to close. The backwards step also allows tori
to open his hips in a natural way in preparation for the sweeping
movement. As uke steps forwards on his right foot...

Judo - Techniques
Tips and Tricks
Just as Sir Isaac Newton's laws of mechanics state that for every
action there is an equal and opposite reaction, so for every judo
movement there is a counter-technique. Naturally a badly timed or
mechanically incorrect attempt at a throw is much easier to counter
than a razor-sharp, finely tuned tokui-waza...

Judo -
The Mechanics of the Judo Throw
There are a number of different actions involved when a judo throw
is performed. Some throws involve lifting an opponent clear of the
ground from a two-footed base and throwing him backwards (uranage),
others lift and throw him forwards (kata-guruma). In some throws
tori has to turn his back on uke and, contacting with his side chest
against uke's chest and balancing on one leg, sweep away uke's legs
(uchimata, harai-goshi) and throw him forwards...

Judo Groundwork
Techniques Revealed
The secrets of good ne-waza (groundwork) are very much the same
as in tachi-waza: relaxation, balance, timing, effective use of
body weight, and knowing how and where to move. There are three
major groups of techniques: osaekomi-waza (hold-downs or immobilizations),
shime-waza (strangles and chokes) and kansetsu-waza (armlocks).
In order to apply these techniques a multitude of methods have evolved
for getting past the opponent's defense or for turning him over
into a disadvantageous position...

Reishiki - the
Etiquette of Judo
It is the traditions and elegant customs of judo that lend it depth
and that priceless sense of mutual respect that so many modern activities
struggle to achieve. The mere effort of learning the etiquette and
adhering to it as the very foundation stone of judo elevates a player
above anything remotely resembling poor sportsmanship and it is
fair to say that rudeness and general belligerence around dojos...
