Man, those guys he does randori with are monsters. It's scary how easily they toss him around and block all his attempts like it was nothing.

great Chadi that you could fullfill your dream , you ve done more for judo through your videos than many judokas i ve known and for your shodan i think Kano sensei was in your corner .

[@Chadi]

@@maitrekano that’s so beautiful! Thank you so much Cherif, say hello to your Son.

[@Chadi]

@Marco Giangreco best of luck, you got this

[@stellarmella9557]

it is interesting that to get a shodan (1st dan) blackbelt, the test is full on randori. Contrast that with the 1st dan examination in my own country where students are only required to memorize and perform the nage no kata (often performed in a very poor/ substandard manner). This resulted in many individuals who are highly incompetent in judo being promoted as blackbelts. What a shame, I hope we would emphasize this format (3 rounds of non stop randori) more so that individuals who who earn the shodan are atleast competent in performing a throw against a fully resisting opponent.

[@burntgod7165]

It's also competitive in UK: you must win ten fights by ippon to acquire each Dan grade.

[@stellarmella9557]

@@burntgod7165 nice, that's how it is supposed to be

[@fluidjudojapan]

Thank you Stellar✋

[@steveevans4299]

@@burntgod7165 You can win with 5 consecutive Ippons on the day in the UK. 10 if you must accumulate amongst occasional losses. However, in the interests of inclusivity, and to accommodate those who are physically injured at the time of examination, there is a technical only route. This has been established to broaden the appeal and accessibility of Judo, but it does lead to some controversy...

[@hodgsoncatalin3243]

Yes...I'm watching again all your videos, and some time I discover that something I missed previously, so indeed the tomoe nage execution was outstanding. ( 7:00 ) Love it!

[@fluidjudojapan]

Thanks Hodgson Catalin✋ Please look forward to the next video👍

This is awesome! Its such a wonderful story and it really makes Judokas, in my opinion, want to come to Japan and train. Of course you know I already want to come. I really feel like your channel provides knowledge and companion ship for Judokas and I want to see this grow even lager. Thank you as always and look forward to more videos.

In my country to get a Shodan you must perform nage no kata, randori and of course a gold medal in at least a regional tournament.

[@chrischiang1512]

Is the randori and winning 3x Straight an requirement for passing the shodan? That's very difficult to achieve. I thought the participants just need to do nagae no kata

[@fluidjudojapan]

Thanks Chris Chiang✋ You must defeat 3 people in SHIAI and master NAGE NO KATA.

[@AmazonasBiotop]

Congratulations Chadi! Thanks for the video. Is that a "normal exam" routine? In Sweden we little bit different depending on how you take it. As a instructor, or little bit easier If you gathered some points from tournaments, as a competitor. We go some with some random guy. So we are 4-5 pairs on the mat and the examers look at our judo. Then we need to execute the whole nage no kata. And after that the examers asks questions to us individually.. I am so disappointed to my core. I did the exame ones and failed with no obvious reason. The examers called us up me and my friend, to tell us that we have failed the exame. I asked why? (I want to learn and do better the next time..) When my FRIEND did the nage no kata he forgot one throw in the series.. Yes, that's his mistake but what did I do for error. - I asked again? When I did my left side uki otoshi my friend somehow did his fall on the right forward fall instead of left.. Yes, it is still my friend (uke) that did something forcefully wrongly.. But what did I do wrong that I could improve upon to the next time?! I have no idea yet until this day.. and I will never do any exame again! When I also saw the others nage no Kata, and they're not perfect either (it were not a Kata competition but we needed to do it OK anyway.) And I heard the questions that the examers said to the other ones and they struggle with wrong answers from the other pairs (and I had got info regarding what they liked to ask so I knew what they were fishing after, but the other brown belts failed miserable to answer.) I don't mean that I were perfect or were better than the others. Only that the others were also not perfectly executed. And if they were so much better than me then OK then I know that were why I failed. Yes, ONE thing that I did not do were trying to show off with fancy and high throws.. that were probably a bad idea. 😂 I remember that one guy got injured and tape his toes during the "randori". And I just were thinking "wow here is some dedication just for a stupid color change from brown to black".. 🤔 If you need to go all out and injury yourself than probably you are doing something wrong.. But it were probably my attitude that I don't care about belts.. One of the few things why I thought it might be a good idea were that children look up to a black belt little bit more, when I am acting as a instructor. If they can't judge a guy that been doing judo since 1977 without needing to see him go all out and injur himself then they can keep the black belt. I am very disappointed because when I repeatedly asked what were wrong they had nothing on me, and what I had done wrong. It felt that I got indirectly punished for that I did not gave 101% and what my uke did! 🤯

Det handlar dels om helheten i graderingen men man måste även klara delarna med godkänt. Sen kan det vara att det du ser hos de andra är inte vad domarna tittar på. Om man inte känner att uke faller på fel håll då får du träna mer. Hade du känt det hade du kunnat be att få göra om tekniken. Jag vet inte hur du tränar katan men ett tips är att du filmar och kollar på dig själv och uke. Har du tränat och vara uke? Kämpa på...

[@AmazonasBiotop]

@@christerboysen2465 Tack Christer. För alla timmar du har tränat mig på nage No Kata (som Tori samt uke).🎁 Men att domarna inte kan ge något konkret på vad jag gör för fel är ju konstigt (vad skall jag göra med en sådan brist på återkoppling). Ja de tittar på helheten o alla var ju inte helt OK för helheten iheller.. Var skall man dra gränsen när jag kör Kata och uke gör fel.🤔 Om jag gör "rätt" o uke klyddar till det och jag ber om att göra om för att uke skall göra rätt då indirekt pekar jag ut ukes brist o gör det svårare för uke att klara sin egen gradering (men kanske jag är för mycket judo medmänniska).🤔 Men du har rätt om jag gjorde om det kanske man kan tillskriva ukes tabbe som att han var värvös under graderingen (men det borde inte belasta min Kata bedömning om uke råkar göra fel tycker jag, visst finns det nivåer. Man kan inte styra uke med bara en hand som håller i gin i uki otoshi).🤔 Men som jag sa så hörde jag hur ett annan missade fullständigt på att kunna förklara pga kunkapsmiss i delmomentet utfrågning av examinatorerna (vari belansbrytningen låg i uki goshi). Så det borde vara underkänt i det delmomentet "lika stor miss" som att missa ett kast i serien för att man kanske är närvös, men det är subjektivt (nu hade jag inte missat något i min Kata). 🥰 Men om man i randori passet visade lite häftiga kast som Kata guruma, tome nage osv men de finns också i katan men enda skillnaden är att man gör dem i fri rörelse. 😜 Nä det blev en väldigt negativ upplevelse som gjorde att jag ALDRIG kommer att försöka igen av ren princip. Det ända jag kunde göra bättre är att jag skulle ha kört mer "häftiga" kast o vara mer på i randori momentet men skall man köra på så att man skall bli ihoptejpad som någon blev då är det inte den mjuka vägen längre.👍

[@christerboysen2465]

@@AmazonasBiotop Det är märkligt att du inte kunde få besked på vad som var fel. Du ska inte ge upp… Åk på katakurser och öva mer. Om man inte kan få till det tekniskt så kan man ändå få till det om man kan förklara tekniken. Det handlar inte bara om att göra utan även att förstå. Vad fick du för poäng? Var du på en zon-gradering eller riks? Vem har du som tränare?
