Judo Forum Topics

I spent some time this weekend creating a plug-in for Judopedia to allow embedding YouTube videos on to pages. I wrote up how to add video to the pages on the help page.

A friend and I shot a quick video of Ippon-seoi-nage tonight so we could at least populate one Judopedia page with a video. Check it out:

BTW: If you think you can make that page better or a better video, go for it!

I would like to thank Dr. Rhadi Ferguson, Head Coach Bahamas Judo Federation, for the great training camp he held in the island of Abaco.

19 hours in a row of intense training.

He has had a deep and transformative effect on our national Federation. We are honored to be associated with him.

Here is a short youtube clip of the event.



Enjoy.

Lately at my dojo they have been discouraging the use of leg attacks, i.e. my favorite katagaruma, but according to the IJF I can pull this in sequence of attack i.e. kouchi gari or ippon seonage to katagaruma.

Im training at a highly competitve dojo and the irony we were warming up with morotegari(double leg takedown) drills!

I am not one of their top competitors but I figure wouldnt they want their judokas to be familiar with these combinations or defense against them? I am confused.

Hi all!

I am a beginner in competition and having some difficulties in how to set up my Uchi Mata in competitions. It is my favorite throw and I would be thrilled if someone could give me a tip on how to set it up effectly in competitions. Videos would be much appriciated!

Sorry for my bad english! :)

Entries are still coming in. Attached is a list of competitors and their respective universities and colleges. A few athletes are competing in the Novice and Standard Divisions. We expect a few more entries to arrive on Wed and Thu.

West Point (USMA) entries have not arrived but they have confirmed 30 judokas are attending.

Alright, Being a big guy and usually going against big guys in randori my gi gets pretty damn sweaty and dirty after a while. Im sure some of you have experienced the "Just washed but still smells like zombie feet" wash. Being the innovative individual i am i came up with a great way to get your gi to an almost new look and scent.
What youll need:

1. Bucket of POWDER oxyclean. (around $10)
2. A nice sturdy wash tub.
3. Your favorite detergent and fabric softener.
4. Nail brush.

The way i start is by getting into the shower after a nice long practice with the gi top on. Yes a little weird but running the shower on the gi top will get most of the nasty sweat, blood and tears out of it and is a good way to pre wash it. After running the shower on for about 5 mins take the top off, grab about a cupfull of oxyclean powder making sure the rest of it stays dry or it will ruin the oxyclean. Grab some oxyclean powder and throw a little water on it and rub it into the nastier parts (neck area, lapels, end of sleeves, and any blood stains) then grab the nail brush and scrub away at those parts gently not to damage the gi. after youre done with that put a bit of detergent in the wash tub and dilute it with HOT water and throw the gi inside. Heres the fun part, let the water run into the tub with the gi inside and mash it up with your fists, feet, throw it around and beat the sweat out of it (pun intended) till the water gets nice and light. After your done with your mma battle with your gi pick it up, rinse the tub and fill it with COLD water (warm water will let the left over germsmultiply and make it stink again) mixed with detergent, fabric softener, and about half a cup of oxyclean and let it sit for at least 12 hours, turning it once in awhile. When youve done all this throw it in the wash as usual with some oxyclean and it will come out fresh as can be. Try my method and give me some feedback. Enjoy, Andrey.

Thanks!

Just a quick shout out to all the boys and girls from Coffs Harbour Judo Club who managed a huge 5 Gold medals at the state titles in sydney last weekend. Well done boys. Some even fighting up from young mens in the seniors. Keep up the good work.

Do you see the new rules changing the judokas athleticism very much under the new rules?

I suppose they wont drop as low so often but in what fuel systems they burn and whatnot?

Flushing, NY The New York Athletic Club men traveled to Flushing, NY on Saturday to compete in the first ever "Spartak Team Cup". There was a cash prize of 3000.00 awarded to the winning team which drew 8 of North America's finest 7 man teams to compete at the event.


Competing for the NYAC team was 20 year old Aaron Kunihiro (60kg), 17 year old Derek Edwards (66kg), 21 year old Nick Delpopolo (73kg), 24 year old Travis Stevens (81kg), 21 year old Bobby Lee (90kg), 25 year old Shintaro Higashi (100kg), 27 year old Aaron Handy (100kg) and 23 year old Dan McCormick (+100kg).

Many of the NYAC men had just returned home the Monday before competition from extensive training and competing all around the world. Travis Stevens came to New York fresh off of winning Silver and Bronze medals in Belgium and France respectively. Nick Delpopolo and Shintaro Higaishi returned to the states after both winning Silver medals at the first ever Pan American Grand Prix in Panama City, Panama.

Team NYAC was coached by the only American Judoka ever to compete for 3 Olympic Medals, Jimmy Pedro. Coach Pedro instilled team camaraderie in the men who were very supportive and vocal during the event. Before each Team match, Pedro and the men would gather their hands in a circle and chant "N-Y-A-C!"

Although a bit travel weary, the NYAC men turned in a solid showing winning the tournament with relative ease losing only 3 of their 21 match ups. First up the men defeated the "International Training Center, NY" team with a 5-2 record. In the Semi-final the NYAC men swept Team Spartak 7-0. In the championship matches the team defeated NYAC hall of fame member Jason Morris's team (Team Jason Morris Judo Center) with a 4-2-1 record.

5 of the 7 NYAC team members reside in Wakefield, MA and are coached by Pedro. 17 year old Derek Edwards (Aurora, IL) will relocate to Wakefield after he graduates high school in May. Edwards was honored to compete with the NYAC team and he did so as a new black belt, he was promoted to Shodan 1 day before traveling to New York.

Along with the 3000.00 cash prize, the Team was awarded a beautiful silver Memorabilia Tray, 7 gold medals and a large transferable Golden Cup which will have the NYAC engraved on it as the winning team and will be brought back next year when the NYAC men defend their title.



I WAS IN THE BRONZE MEDAL TEAM, WE HAD BACK LUCK AGAINST JMJC. IF WE HAD A BETTER 100 KG WE WOULD HAVE WON THE WHOLE TOURNAMENT.
WE LOST TO JMJC 4-3.

PEDRO'S DID A GREAT JOB EVEN THOUGH IN THE FIRST ROUND THEY GOT HELP FROM THE REFS IN 2 MATCHES. KUNIHIRO GOT A LUCKY TIE SCORED AGAINST SOME RUSSIAN KID FROM ITC, AND TRAVIS STEVENS DID A TERRIBLE JOB AGAINST DIS KID FROM COLOMBIA WHO DOMINATED HIM THE WHOLE MATCH AND THE REF GAVE HIM 2 SHIDOS CUZ HE WAS "HOLDING HIS LAPEL" SO TRAVIS WON 3 SHIDOS AGAINST 2.

I was wondering if you could recommend some of the books, or dvds which you found useful to supliment your learning of Judo.

I've already placed an order for Kano's Kodokan Judo book, and I'm looking forward to reading it.

I went a fair ways through the forums looking for similar threads from which I could leach ideas, but saw none, sorry if I missed any.

So please, lend me your wisdom, and guide me towards texts from which I may glean a greater understanding of the art.

Thank you.

I was wondering if anyone happened to be filming this tournament on Sunday, March 7th at the Princeton Y. Specifically, I'm looking for the Senior Novice Middleweight division (Men's). Unfortunately, I didn't get the opportunity to have someone film and if possible, would like to see how I can improve.

Thanks in advance!!

It was a really fun tournament by the way. A decent turnout and went along smoothly. A nice, mellow atmosphere. :-) Thanks to Princeton Judo and Sensei Yone at Cranford and everyone else who made this tournament possible.

Hey Judoka's come checkout my gym!
