Higher Order Thinking For Judo - The Shintaro Higashi Show

When most people talk about their Judo game, they tend to focus on their favorite techniques and maybe favorite combinations around them. But Judo is more than that, and we need to be doing higher-order thinking. How is your natural athletic ability? What is your opponent's Judo game? What are the weaknesses of my Judo game? In this episode, Shintaro and Greg analyze Greg's Judo game in depth as an example of higher-order thinking for Judo.

Didn't realize I was the only one who had bought Microjudo RvR back in February 😆 It was shortly after I started Judo and it quickly made me a menace to other white belts. It was indeed a great video, 11/10 would recommend

So basically a yawara stick, I have my knife on black nylon line which hangs out my pocket and use it to swing first since it’s heavy and unfold blade if situation requires it. 3 inch blade but very heavy knife so it’s like an old school black jack, but legal in my state. Thank you for lesson as always 😊

Love your videos, Sensei. We had a Black belt in our dojo who used to say there were as many variations of throws as there were judoka doing that throw. 10,000 uchi komis? Maybe do the throw 10,000 more times in dynamic nage komi, but if your body (as in your personal physiology) doesn't like the throw, you may never be able to master it. That doesn't mean you can't teach it, but that's not the same thing.

Great video. So far your channel is one of the ones I'm following for English language discussion on Judo. Suggestion to add value on the production side. Maybe you could add some small window clips on the sides of the screen or even cut scenes to better illustrate the moves and combinations being discuss.

This video made me wonder where the heck can you buy that micro judo video, it's exactly the stuff I'm most interested in. Anyone can teach me how to drill a throw, but nobody tells me these smallest details that make the most difference, the stuff that leads to what you practice in uchi komi in actual match. In my opinion the proper grip should be the first thing taught when you get from newaza to standing up with fresh judokas. Like when I returned from a break in judo and had almost forgot everything, the first thing I paid attention was "my grip doesn't feel effective" and I repeated it in the classes when my instructor said "you're too tense, relax". I would reply with "I know but my grip doesn't feel right" and ask them to show/explain how to really grip. They couldn't put much time and effort into it, perhaps it was more intuitive to them than learned and I could tell they had good grips but they couldn't make me grip well just yet. And as much as realizing how some turn throws are more about pulling the hand horizontally than lifting the person, having a good grip almost naturally guides your throw to be better because you're in control of uke.

Hey guys - I went to the website to buy the Micro Judo instructional - but then got confused. The description says $10 but the cart price is $20. Can you clear that up?
