Progression in any endeavor requires, and especially judo (and chess): 1. Spending time at the gym, meaning not skipping trainings. If it is two times a week, then stick to those 2 times a week. Increased exposure to judo traning will lead to better physical capability which will lead to being able to properly execute technique with lower probability of injury 2. Reflecting about your experience: Talk with people after training about randori. Think about successes and failures, and especially failures, after the training 3. Get a second source of info: check instructional on your favorite and not so favorite techniques. Brain seems to store this info and it helps to automatize things
I'm a second year yellow belt that can only train once a week. I think I haven't made a strong enough foundation of making the shape of the throw, and until I address that my Randori is always going to feel both awkward and exhausting. This video convinced me to drill down on that fundamental, thank you.
Thank you guys for this. I’m a yellow belt and I can’t wait to be promoted (I started judo in January). I guess I’m the kind of student that just needs validation. To know that I’m doing things right
Good solution. Martial arts are important for young men to learn. Another possible solution if the weight setup at the martial arts gym aren't enough is to buy a set of gymnastic rings which you can setup anywhere and can fulfill all of your upper body training needs. For lower body, sprinting and jumping training is fantastic and if the gym has a squat rack then you are set.
I get where you're coming from, and can't say I disagree with very much. I have individual progress check meetings with my students off the mat periodically to discuss their judo, readiness for competition or promotion, their strengths, areas for improvement, what they want to do/learn next (or more of), and what I think they need to do. It keeps them engaged and gives them ownership of their personal judo journey. ETA: Peter, you do a great job as Shintaro's host/straight man!
I'm a 3rd Kyu now at 35 and I've found I tend to lean towards techniques like sasai or hiza gurma, osoto gari or tai otoshi. I have bad knees so although I can do Ippon saeio nage or morote, I don't favour these techniques as they put horrible strain on my knees. I'm also 240 pounds so I use my weight to my advantage whenever I can
I'm not gonna lie, randori when you're inexperienced and told to do it too early is the stupidest and most frustrating experience. Especially if you're not instructed enough on what your goal in randori this time is. Like you have learned one throw when your partner allows you to throw them and now you're supposed to do randori? Everyone's so lost when the other person doesn't move an inch and using a lot of strength to defend. It becomes a real struggle and you don't understand any of it. I feel like before trying to even throw anyone in randori, you should be instructed only to try and find a grip on each other while moving around. No twisting and turning when you got the grip, just feeling it out. The next time's randori goal would be feeling each other's movement and weight, trying to figure out where they are going and if they're putting a lot of weight on one leg or being out of balance. The beginners have way too much the mindset of "gotta win this grappling and gotta throw them by any means" if not instructed with progressive goals that also help it make more sense and be less about strength test (which ends up in someone getting hurt) and crazy pulling and pushing.
So I tried my first judo class tonight and hurt my ankle, heel during Mae ukemi. Do you think it’s a bad omen or am I just being superstitious. I am a purple belt in bjj and for some reason I just goofed on one ukemi. Ugh
Randori developes the Martial Artist and Competition the martial arts. Shin tarp is completely right about that that competition not necessarily reflect the skill level of a Judoka
"dont get frustrated - get fascinated" hahahahaha thats just great
😂

As he said... Just thinking about it goes a long way...
Thanks for taking the time to cover these topics! A lot of this is also good “Judo for Old(er) People” content!🔥

Thanks so much for this. Alot of this is good for any martial arts...

Really helpful video, now I know more what to ask as a new old guy!

Hey fellas, what is your opinion on the use of grappling dummies for individually practicing throws?
