Skills Or Power: What Is Better For Judo Techniques?
Skills Or Power: What Is Better For Judo Techniques?
In the past the open weight division was almost always included in every competition. As a matter of fact when judo first started back in 1882 in Japan there was not even a discussion about weight divisions: everybody fought against everybody with no weight distinction. The main focus was always put on the judo techniques and how to perform them at its best.
There were many small masters, that were so outstanding performers, that no heavy weight could even think to defeat them. They were so used to perform their judo techniques with no flaw in it, that they really knew when to attack, how to attack and when to take advantage of the movement of the opponent. They literally trained to become unbeatable in whatever they did, focusing on specific trainings aimed to defeat the big and heavy ones.
Of course speed was one of their best allies and they really knew how to take advantage of it, but at the same time they also knew, that in order to defeat their powerful opponents they had to move all the time and had to make them move also, otherwise they would not have had any chance to throw them. Any static situation was the equivalent of death for them.

Another way to always improve their skills, was to train as much as they could with all kinds of different people, in order to get used to improvisation. They also paid a lot of attention to specific drills, that they continuously performed so that they were prepared and could naturally switch into a “big and heavy” mode or a “small and speedy” one, always based on who they had to face.
On the ground work they applied the same principles as in the standing judo techniques: they used speed as their best ally, made sure to always move around and frequently changed from one action to the other in order to confuse the opponent. They made wide use of armlocks and chokes. They made sure not to ever created static situations which meant instant death to them.
In the past the debate on who is going to win: the big and heavy or the small and light? was not even open. The focus was on skills and judo techniques and on how to apply them in the best way in order to always win.
Athletes however can even do something more, independently if they are small and light or big and heavy. They can both learn some more on how to improve their performance by mastering their nutrition besides their opponents.

Judo Techniques: Fat Vs. Muscles
Judo Techniques: Fat Vs. Muscles
Whenever you train and perform your judo techniques it is quite obvious that it is better to have muscles rather than having your body mainly made of fat. There is no doubt and no discussion on it even when it comes to other sports: the perfect athlete is the one with all muscles and no fat.
However in judo the debate is always open as the first thing you learn to deal with before entering a competition is to cope with the scale. It is normal for almost all judokas to be obsessed by weight and to frequently step on a scale in order to always control that arrow and to make sure it does not go beyond that weight, which is the upper level of the weight division the judoka enters.
The young people while learning and improving their judo techniques have a hard time to understand the weight mechanisms and how they are related to what they eat. It is typical for teenagers to love all the foods that are exactly the opposite of what should be the right nutrition for a judoka in order to perform at its best. Besides the wrong eating habits they have, they are constantly stressed by the weight factor within judo as they always have to step on that scale!
]]>
When they are around 14, 15 or 16 of course they are still growing, which means to increase in size and also in weight. But in the judo competitions they are so used to their weight division, that they often refuse to enter the following one and often starve themselves to death to absolutely stay in that weight division. They think, that their skills will only work there and that if they move up they will find some monster with seven heads, that will beat them.
It is very difficult to make them understand, that because they are growing it is normal to increase in weight, but what they should learn is to increase their muscles instead of their fat: it is better to have 100kg of muscles rather than having 66kg of fat. In other words it is not a matter of weight, but a matter of proportions between muscles and fat.
Most of them think, that it is important just to make weight, without considering how their deprivation might influence their performance at the competition and how much extra stress they are accumulating. Their judo techniques will of course be negatively affected.
Shaping the body by following the right nutrition is really what to do in order to always be at peak performance. If you want to learn more on it visit judo techniques

Shaping Your Body With Judo Techniques
| Shaping Your Body With Judo Techniques
Back in the 80s I entered a judo dojo for the first time willing to learn as much as I could on judo and its techniques. I was a semi-professional soccer player and was used to kick the ball on both sides. Even though I was and am left handed my best kicks were on the right. Therefore I already had a strong inclination to that side. When I started my judo training, as happens in most dojos around the world, I was taught all techniques on the right and nobody even dared to tell me, that it was possible to practice them also on the other side I first found out about the opportunity to go for my judo techniques also to the left when I entered my first competition after two years of hard training. Under the stress situation represented by the fight and the opponent I was going to face I automatically stood in a left guard position and without even knowing what I did I went for a natural counter-attack in tani o toshi to the left. I was quite puzzled I had won my first fight with a technique I had never performed and on the side I had never practiced before. I had to think it over and over: what had happened? I asked my fellows on the judo technique I had performed, they all said: “Great tani otoshi to the left!”. Interesting first of all I did not know what technique tani otoshi was, second I had never performed a technique on the left! The matter needed further attention and I decided to explore it by training everything I learned on both sides. I was a natural left handed fighter with no technical knowledge nor skills on that side. At the beginning I was quite mad, that nobody had taught me anything on my favourite side. But after many years thinking back about this experience I must say I was very lucky: when I entered the dojo the first time I had no idea nor any clue about judo and its techniques, so I learned everything from scratch on my wrong side, which means that today I can perform everything on both sides and from a technical point of view I am even better on some techniques on the right. Nevertheless I am still a nasty left handed fighter! The important thing I learned was to always try whatever I was taught on both sides. But overall it helped me to shape my body evenly and gave me a strong feeling of balance. Even in real life, off the mat I started to do things with either side, things that as a left handed person I would have never done with my right. If you want to balance your body, however hard it will be, you should always perform your judo techniques on both sides.
