Kata1: What is Kata?
The first, I hope, of a series of discussions on kata in martial arts. Sorry for the length. I am assuming that you already have learned and practiced kata with knowledgeable instructors. In this video (and the series) I thought I would try to go beyond the basics and go a little deeper into kata and kata practice.

    Been doing bjj for over a year and started doing Judo recently and finally found this gem of a channel. I really liked watching Mifune's Judo and hoped to learn the mechanics of all the moves. My gym is sports competition based and I tend to ask alot of detail questions about the techniques that my teachers would often say "don't think too much about it" which makes me sad a bit because part of me expected everything to already have been figured out already, judo being an older art. I noticed in the old Mifune vids they don't really try to break each others' grips and me being weak and small, hopes to replicate the old ways.

    This is hane goshi, not the nage no kata uchi mata.

    • @caraculo1077
      @caraculo1077 Місяць тому

      It is uchi mata. Hane Goshi has a different amplitude and uke lands completely indront of uke doing almost 180 degrees in a straight line during the throw phase.

    • @LiamEdits6000
      @LiamEdits6000 8 днів тому

      You clearly don't know the difference between hane goshi and uchi mata, people like ya'll love to call out uchi mata, it ain't that hard it just looks like hane goshi but they are 2 completely different throws, you just don't know yo shi.

    Oh my goodness, where was this channel when I was training Judo back in the day? This is amazing. I have been watching Steve Scott and Shintaro Higashi for a lot of technique breakdowns, but this is such a classical breakdown of techniques, as well as further explanation in the comments to clarify things. Truly, this is a phenomenal channel and a huge resource to the Judo community. The guys at my BJJ class are going to hate (love) this. Cheers

  • @stevecunningham8201
    @stevecunningham8201 5 місяців тому

    The term "plantar area" doesn't really speak to me. I think the plantar area is pretty much the entire sole of the foot. I was trying to suggest that you do not want to use the edge of the foot or the heel. You use the forefoot part of the bottom of the foot. This would include the area behind the toes, the ball of the foot, and might extend across toward to the little toe (but certainly not all the way to the little toe). You use a slight cupping and lifting pressure. In Sasae, ideally you have uke drawn forward onto his/her toes or ball of the foot. So when you apply a little pressure on the ankle, cupping toward your little toe, you are able to break the ball and toes of uke's foot free from the mat. Over they go.

    I remember the talking about the different colored gi for TV. The first trial was with a red gi. You know Judo red and white colors. But they found out that the red faded to a pink color. No man wanted to compete in a pink gi. Hahaha lol We all had an unbleached gi to practice in. The longer you were in Judo, the whiter your gi got. If you had to go up against someone with a very white gi, you knew you were in for it. Thanks for the memories!!!

I am aware of a description of a match by Tomita between Saigo and an opponent from a different school in 1885, but Tomita wrote that down several decades after the events. Is there any available source from the time between 1882 and 1889?

    6:00 and 6:42 super vital tip. so thats why in ju no kata when performing o-goshi uke move a little bit before recieve the throw. now i see pulling against your back is the key to execute this without having uke avoiding/sliping away from the technique. thanks🫡. amen.

    its normal to feel torsion in my spine? like when you apply torque to a towel twisting it for dry. is this twisting of the spine any dangerous against a very resisting oponnent?

    • @stevecunningham8201
      @stevecunningham8201 9 місяців тому

      No. If you are feeling pressure on your spine or feeling any pain, you're doing it wrong. This is how back injurues happen. There is a tendency to focus on the hip and waist, and not as much on the hand placement, pull, positioning, and off-balance. The hip is the final piece. You shouldn't feel like you are wrestling your opponent over.

      ​​​@@stevecunningham8201I am really struggling with the "tilt to the side" part of the technique. you tilt to the side and forward or is just to the side? its really awkward position for me and feel like i could get injured if try to overcome. i am very tall.
