Compiled by Sandan (3rd Degree Black belt) Alwyn Grobbelaar 2018.04.16 Rev. 1 -2018 The Study of Judo The study of Judo is the study of your body, your mind and your heart. Ultimately, it is the study of your character. Judo has two major ideals: Maximum Efficiency and Mutual Benefit and Welfare. Both of these are foundations created by Jigoro Kano is the goal of Judo, which is the “harmonious development and eventual perfection of one self’s character”. Judo has several aspects: recreation, physical fitness, competition, self-defense, art, social activity, service, and many more. At some points during the Judoka’s training, the Judoka will concentrate on one or two of these. At other times, the Judoka will be working on several of these aspects. The important thing to remember is that Judo is big enough for all of these things.

Freestyle Judo Ritoru Tatsu Fight Club Freestyle Judo Ritoru Tatsu Fight Club (FJRTFC) is a diverse and inclusive club, incorporating the many varied aspects of Judo. The goal of our instructors is to help you get what you want and what you need out of Judo, and to put back into Judo what you can. As a consequence, we have a Judo club that welcomes those studying Judo for any of its multitude of benefits. Most are interested in several, if not all, of the aspects of Judo. Judo training is encouraged for men and women, boys and girls, regardless of age, gender, religion, background or physical condition. It is imperative, however, that the Judoka’s inform the instructors of any physical condition which may require a modification of and to their training, specifically including but not limited to chronic injuries or illnesses which may affect their safety or the safety of their fellow Judokas, or others.

Compiled by Sandan (3rd Degree Black belt) Alwyn Grobbelaar 2018.04.16 Rev. 1 -2018 Dojo Kun (Rules of the Dojo)

1. Judoka’s must never use their Judo skill outside of Judo or Dojo, except in self- defense. 2. Judoka’s must show respect for themselves, their Sensei, their classmates, and most importantly, their family. 3. Judoka’s are responsible for their own safety, and the safety of all of their fellow classmates, throughout the class. 4. Judoka’s should bow (Rei) to all partners when beginning and finishing training sessions with them. 5. Uniforms should be clean, in good repair, and properly worn at all times. This includes keeping nails trimmed and bodies clean. 6. Courtesy and attentiveness are requirements for showing respect, and should be practiced in the Dojo at all times. 7. Judoka’s must rei (bow) onto and off of the practice mat when starting or ending a training session, and should not leave the mat without the permission of the Sensei or Senpai. Emergency situations are obviously an exception. 8. Judoka’s should be dressed and ready to participate when class time begins. If a student is running late, they may not come on the mat without the Sensei/Senpai bowing them on. 9. There will be no eating, drinking, or gum chewing on the practice area. 10. No jewelry or sharp objects to be worn on the mat. If you have a piercing which cannot be removed, it must be taped and covered in such a way that it presents no danger to yourself or fellow Judoka’s. 11. Questions are allowed, encouraged, and expected. Arguing with Sensei/Senpai or higher grade belts will not be tolerated at all. 12. It is discourteous, and unsafe, to turn your back to a partner. Judoka’s should face their partner at all times, including when adjusting their uniform. The exception to this is if modesty dictates turning away from them. NOTE:

This courtesy is the opposite of most other Martial Arts. If a guest of another club, please follow their club rules. If we have guests, please allow for these differences.

13. REMEMBER. Judo training should be fun, but must always be taken seriously at all times, no horse play allowed within the Dojo.

Soft and Gentle Way

JUDO 柔道 – The History and background Jujutsu 柔術, (also known in the West as Ju-Jitsu or Jiu-Jitsu) is a Japanese martial art, when translated into English, "Jū" mean "gentle, soft, supple, flexible, pliable, or yielding," "Jutsu" can be translated to mean "art" or "technique" gentle or yielding techniques. There are several different styles of Jui Jitsu and the Brazilian Jujutsu of the Gracie Family. Several other martial arts, though not known as Ju Jitsu, could be correctly identified as a style of Ju Jitsu. Judo, Aikido, Aiki-jitsu, Sambo, and Sumo would all fit into this category. If you add in western-based styles of fighting, wrestling could be considered a type of Jujutsu. Jujutsu practice began in Japan hundreds of years ago. Families with strong fighting skills would pass these skills down generation by generation, and would on rare occasions “adopt” men outside their families to train. Eventually, these families developed schools, where their own unique brand of Jujutsu would be taught. As time progresses, these schools became more and more specialized into different fields, such as hip throws, arm locks, or kicks. It was not until the end of the 19th century that this changed.

In 1882, Dr. Jigoro Kano created what was not only a new style of Jujutsu, but also a complete reworking of the martial arts system in Japan. He called this new system Judo. Unlike the other schools, which taught forms and techniques simply because their forefathers had, Judo had criteria on which all techniques and skills were judged: efficiency. For Dr. Kano, techniques which were awkward, involved unnecessary form or movement, or which could not be practiced at full force were too inefficient to waste time teaching. Techniques that did not meet these standards were either not taught at all, or included in Kata for historical purposes. The other Senseis of Jujutsu were incensed, and challenged that the lack of killing and maiming techniques in Judo limited its effectiveness. Dr. Kano offered to prove the effectiveness of Judo, and a challenge match was arranged. Ten of the Judoka’s from the Kodokan, the Judo school, were to be paired up against the ten best Jujutsu fighters from all the other schools in Japan. The Judo Judoka’s did not lose a single match.

After this, classical Jujutsu in Japan dwindled to almost nothing, and Judo soared in popularity. Dr. Kano brought the sport and martial art of Judo around the world, and worked tirelessly towards promoting it until his death. Judo became the first martial art in the Olympics, and is still the most popular and practiced martial art in the world today.

Compiled by Sandan (3rd Degree Black belt) Alwyn Grobbelaar 2018.04.16 Rev. 1 -2018 形 KATA Kata (forms) are one of the three component parts of Judo Training. While generally thought to only be "The Katas of Judo", indicating the pre-arranged sequences of techniques in Judo, at Wall to Wall Martial Arts we use this term to include all of the training methods used to develop individual techniques and series of actions. In most of these training actions, there is an attacker (Tori) and a defender (Uke), although this is not always the case. Some of the particular techniques or training tools used in Judo are listed as follows:

内込 Uchi Komi An Uchi Komi is where Tori attempts a technique, usually a throw or combination, on the Uke, without the final execution of the technique. This is sometimes done stationary (static) or with movement (dynamic).

Crash Pad Throws Throwing into the crash pad is a great way to develop the execution of throws or combinations, where the Tori(thrower) can put full force into the throw with a minimum of risk to Uke (the one receiving).

Drills Repetitive actions of a single combination, technique, or even a portion of technique, in order to ingrain the physical movement in the Judoka.

Of course, there are also the formal techniques of Judo, such as the Nage No Kata (投の形, Forms of throwing) and Katame No Kata (固の形, Forms of grappling), etc. These, and the other seven Katas of Judo, serve to fine-tune the technical aspects of Judo, preserve and practice historical techniques on which Judo is based, and emphasize the movement and flow of Judo.

乱取り RANDORI Randori, or free practice, is the heart of Judo training. Randori is a situation where there is no Tori or Uke, but rather both people are equal. This is where a Judoka is attempting to apply the techniques and strategies learned against a partner who is not being completely cooperative. Randori can be classified according to what type of Randori it is and what the ratio of cooperation/competition is between the partners.

The types of Randori :

 Ground (Newaza) Randori - Ground Randori starts in a grappling mode, with neither partner standing either at the beginning or throughout the session.

Page | 6

Compiled by Sandan (3rd Degree Black belt) Alwyn Grobbelaar 2018.04.16 Rev. 1 -2018  Standing (Tachiwaza) Randori - Standing Randori starts in standing position and, upon one partner going to the ground, stops and restarts in the standing position.

Randori includes both standing and groundwork, but will start in the standing position and return to standing if there is no progress in groundwork.

Intensity of Randori Light Randori - Light Randori occurs when the Judoka are not resisting or attempting to counter the application of their partner's techniques, and, when applying techniques, are doing so with reduced speed and strength.

Medium Randori - Medium Randori occurs when the Judoka are using most (but not all) of their strength and speed and are giving significant resistance to techniques being applied by their partner.

Heavy Randori - Heavy Randori occurs when the Judoka is using all of their strength, speed and skill to apply techniques and prevent their partner from executing techniques. The major difference between this and Shiai (Tournament) is the mental attitude and strategy of the Judoka.

Randori may look like competition, but the goal of Randori is to practice techniques and strategies in a dynamic and changing environment.

試合 SHIAI (or jiai with rendaku 連濁 ) Judo contests (Shiai) are the most recognizable part of Judo, and, for some Judoka, it is the primary focus of their training. Judo contests are conducted within specified age and weight categories, and often within specific belt categories. Most Judo competitions follow either the standard rules of Olympic Judo, or a slightly modified set of rules. Most of the modifications are minor issues regarding safety. In contest Judo, the goal is to beat your partner, who in this instance is your opponent.

There are two general ways to approach Judo competition and preparation for it. Neither is wrong, but a Judoka should have a clear understanding of which one he or she wants to follow, and should explain this to the Sensei (teacher) as well.

1) Training for Competition: This is the mentality of the Judoka trying to win championships and improve them at competitive Judo. Specifically, the Judoka focuses on improving those skills which are applicable to competition. While this is a difficult and not a well-rounded approach to Judo, it is, to a certain extent, necessary for external successes in Judo competition.

Page | 7

Compiled by Sandan (3rd Degree Black belt) Alwyn Grobbelaar 2018.04.16 Rev. 1 -2018 2) Competing for Training: This is the mentality of the Judoka who competes in order to develop a well-rounded base of Judo skill and experience. Competitions can help a Judoka understand aspects of Judo which can be much more difficult to master in a classroom setting. This is a great focus for most Judoka, but can be a bit distracting to the serious competitor.

CROSS TRAINING Cross training is also great part of Judo and preparation towards tournaments, and this can be divided into two categories: a) Cross training for the physical mechanics of Judo b) Cross training to improve the understanding (Supplemental Training) of Judo. a) Physical Activities: Simply put, this is training your body outside of the Dojo to improve your ability to do Judo. This process can be of great benefit to any Judoka, and is a necessity for those wishing to train for championships. Some of the more beneficial activities to improve Judo are as follows: 1. Running/Walking - Improves wind (aerobic conditioning), posture, and leg strength. 2. Weight Training/Calisthenics - Improves strength, muscular endurance, and posture. 3. Yoga/Stretching - Improves flexibility/balance. 4. Soccer - Improves endurance, coordination, and balance. 5. Rugby - Improves physical toughness and explosiveness. 6. Gymnastics - Improves flexibility, muscular strength, posture and balance. 7. Dance (Ballet, Modern, Jazz) - Improves posture, grace, strength, endurance, aerobic conditioning, flexibility, explosiveness and balance.

Of course, this is just a short list. Any physical activity which makes the Judoka's body stronger, suppler, more efficient, or longer lasting will improve their ability to do Judo, just as Judo will improve their ability to do all of these other activities. b) Supplemental Training: Supplemental training is training in other martial arts or combative sports in order to improve Judo skills, reach a better understanding of Judo, gain an appreciation of other martial arts, or add techniques not normally or often taught in class. The concentration areas of some specific styles are as follows: 1. Karate/Tae Kwon Do/Kick Boxing - These styles teach kicks and punches, as well as blocks of kicks and punches. 2. Aikido/Hap Ki Do/Japanese Jujitsu - These styles teach joint locks, take-downs, and control holds, mostly from standing. 3. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu/Shoot Fighting/Open Style Grappling - These styles teach joint locks and submissions, mostly from groundwork.

Compiled by Sandan (3rd Degree Black belt) Alwyn Grobbelaar 2018.04.16 Rev. 1 -2018 This is a woefully inadequate list, and does not even include weapons styles. Training in these can be of great benefit to your Judo, but there are some courtesies and precautions you should always follow:

1. Always tell your instructor you want to try another style and be specific about the circumstances. In addition to being courteous, there might be some information you need to know before you go in. 2. Always obtain the invitation/permission of the instructor of the school you are going to, letting them know who you are and why you are there. 3. Always wear a White Belt when visiting a different style martial art. If visiting another Judo Dojo, wear your current rank. 4. You are there to learn, so listen, follow instructions, and be very respectful. 5. Try watching a class before participating, so you will know what to expect.

You can do things outside of Judo to improve Judo, but it is important to remember that the best way to improve your Judo is to practice Judo whenever you can.

SERVICE TO JUDO Service to Judo is a broad category, and rightfully so. Remember, the ultimate goal of Judo, as described by Dr. Kano, is as follows:

"The harmonious development and eventual perfection of oneself character."

The wording is very important. The ultimate goal of Judo is not to develop winning techniques, or precise form, or accumulate medals, although all of these things can play an important part of your Judo development. Instead, it is to make and shape the Judoka into a better person, physically, intellectually, and moral sense. As such, service to Judo is extremely important. As you progress in skill level, this can manifest in many forms, of which the following are but a few examples:

Beginners: (White to Yellow) 1. Obey instructions immediately and listen carefully to the instructors. 2. Help out around the Dojo by cleaning up, picking up trash, and being courteous to all guests and fellow teammates. 3. Model the behavior a Judoka should have, all the time. 4. Bring other people into Judo.

Compiled by Sandan (3rd Degree Black belt) Alwyn Grobbelaar 2018.04.16 Rev. 1 -2018 Intermediate: In addition to the above (Orange to Green), 1. Help instruct lower level Judoka’s. 2. Assist with tournaments, clinics, etc. 3. Be an example to lower belts in terms of leadership, and focus. 4. Be ready to assist the instructors when asked.

Advanced: The advanced (Brown Belt and above) should exhibit all of the above behaviors as well as the following: 1. Strive to become competent at tournament related activities, such as technical official or referee. 2. Learn how to and become a certified coach. 3. Assist with teaching classes. 4. Help other Judoka before and after classes. 5. Provide administrative support for running the club.

Of course, these are just a few of the example of the ways a Judoka can help out and provide service to Judo.

Remember: try to give back to your club and others the time and energy that was dedicated to you by your Sensei / Senpai’s.

Compiled by Sandan (3rd Degree Black belt) Alwyn Grobbelaar 2018.04.16 Rev. 1 -2018 JUDO: THE PHASES OF A THROW. Tachi-waza (standing techniques) are divided in 4 phases:

O-Goshi

KUZUSHI: breaking the balance.

Breaking the balance of the opponent by pull or push movements of the arm(s) is the most essential part of a throw. The aim is to set up the opponent for the intended throw. The direction of strength (pull, push, levy, press) must be coordinated on the intended following throw technique.

If one wants break the opponents balance one uses subtle pressure or pull to lead and guide the opponent in the direction wanted by pulling or pushing him outside its ground area; to cause the opponent to balance on his toes or heel. The arm movements have an explosive character, because they must be carried out with a high speed, against the resistance of the opponent. There are at least two different ‘sets of kuzushi that are taught in Judo:

 Roppo no Kuzushi; the six directions of breaking balance, referring to the right, left, right front corner, left front corner, right back corner, and left back corner.  Happo no Kuzushi; Same as above, but the directions directly forward and back are added, for a total of eight directions of off balance.

Page | 59

Compiled by Sandan (3rd Degree Black belt) Alwyn Grobbelaar 2018.04.16 Rev. 1 -2018 TSUKURI: positioning for the throw.

The body is moved into the most favorable possible position that permits the leverage of the particular technique to be effective; i.e. from which by the arms (statically), the torso and the legs the maximal strength for the actual throw can be applied. In the torso we see stabilizing contraction during lift- and-block and flexion- rotation movements. In the legs especially stretch movements play an important role in tilting.

The action must be executed rapidly, because otherwise the opponent can “repair” its balance. The time which lies between breaking balance and the actual throw must be as short as possible. The body of the thrower must move into a position.

KAKE: the actual throw.

The specific action of the throw, the essential part of the movement. This movement has to be as fast and as explosive as possible; the stretching of the legs is very important. There are also some other leg movements, such as swings (harai), sweeping (barai) and hooks (gari) movements. In throw techniques one uses of the

lever principle.

Finishing the throw. An explosive movement of the arm(s) to complete successfully the throw and to add extra speed.
