How to Begin Judo? | 6 Fundamentals of Judo Every Beginner Should Know

[@diyartalbayev5937]

"Do not be afraid to get thrown." Best advice for beginner judo athletes.

[@shintaronakano2842]

Thanks for your comment!

[@JudoHubKenya]

Was told this last night….I was afraid to be thrown down and did hurt my back. Missed class tonight. 😀💪🏾 we try again tomorrow

[@gshepherd6141]

so what do we love to get throw and enjoy the pain?

[@GoDaveGo]

@@gshepherd6141 We resist and avoid being thrown. But we beginners, once we are being thrown, should not resist it by trying to twist out like Olympic athletes. We have to use our breakfalls, rolling smoothly across our backs. It gives our training partner a clean Ippon, and it is when we learn how not to be hurt when thrown.

[@gshepherd6141]

@@GoDaveGo Respectfully understood, but sometimes the environment around you changes where it's not always safe to be thrown. Not to complicated things though, I do agree with techniques of reduction the friction of the throw to reduce the damage you take.

[@garyhoang9923]

I have a boxing background and I'm interested in Judo. Hearing that your right foot should be forward even if you're right-handed is so new to me.

[@blue0eyes0knight]

i am a lifelong boxer and boxing coach, i have just started judo and also found this very different.

[@V12509]

I’ve been boxing for 1.5 years and when I take Judo I’m planning to keep my left foot forwards since I already got the footwork.

[@Engel-ol5rm]

Same here, I also found it strange!

[@didoview]

I understand it feels strange at first for a boxer but the reason is that your stronger side needs to be closer to your partner / adversary as you need to get your grip on him and control / lead him. As a boxer you have a different perspective as you jab with your weaker side and throw your hard punch with momentum for which you need more space by turning your whole body. Hope this makes sense.

[@vdv237]

When I began boxing, I had a background of martial arts from when I was younger. My stance was naturally southpaw because of this. My jabs were so strong that they wondered why I wasn't boxing orthodox. I didn't either, I just did what felt right. I forced myself to box orthodox because of this. I can switch between both now. Martial arts still feels better with my right foot forward, but boxing feels better orthodox now.

[@dominiknowaczyk9633]

How is your judo training? I recently started karate and also starting Judo soon. Is it hard on the body or is it generally safe?

[@thejollyroger9281]

@@dominiknowaczyk9633 if I may weigh in on your situation, it can be super rough on the body. (Almost 2 years experience now) sore back and sore legs most often. Smacked the side of my head real hard on the receiving end of an uchi mata once. Learn to relax and not be tense when thrown and try to tuck your chin to keep your head from doing a whiplash movement before landing and smacking against the mat. Easier said than done sometimes lol Pay attention to the mechanics of your throws. The finest details can create the biggest difference in a beautiful well executed (and controlled) throw or a scary tangled mess that can hurt you and your partner. Idk how sensei Shintaro feels about this, but I started to believe awhile back that falling properly is a big skill of its own. Like as your partner is refining a throw as they toss you around, you are simultaneously refining your falling technique. On a final note, efficiently learning judo can seem super boring sometimes (uchikomi) but the skills you gain are insanely handy when you start applying them. (Started BJJ recently, those guys had no idea what hit them til it was too late 🤣) good luck fam!

[@sailordoug5690]

@@Andybaby I go a little easier than the younger students and mostly ignore the little stuff (bruises, sore muscles, friction burns, etc). But seeing people who suffer far worse injuries than myself and keep going serves as motivation to suck it up and carry on. Seeing people older than me and what they're still capable of also serves to motivate me to work through the bumps and bruises.

Fundamentals, by their very name "fundamental" are never for just beginners, they should be practiced daily and always reinforced. Many people forget the fundamentals because they're typically not fun or cool, but forget them and pay the price!

[@DonaldRoy-nr9xe]

Talking from experience: Judo -> gentle way Kata -> basic form (learning) Randori -> free style (sparring) practice When you are learning, learn... don't try to teach... you are student. "No mind." When sensei is teaching, listen/focus/learn. When you learn, there is no "win". There is only learn. You get hurt (lose), you hurt others (lose), you don't learn (lose today (waste time) and tomorrow (didn't learn, do today again)) Learning is everyday, forever! Rank is nothing, a winner is prepared so there is no fight or injury. Don't focus on anything but here and now. (Yesterday is gone, tomorrow is not here yet).

I’ve been doing boxing and muay thai for 16 years now, and I’ve been wanting to learning Judo as I think it’s be a better combination with those styles than BJJ. Watching this video confirms my theory, the fact that the base posture and footwork is almost identical to boxing, pretty much indicates it’s the perfect combination.

[@edwardburroughs1489]

But he's saying that a right hander should fight 'southpaw' and vice-versa, which is very different.

[@Jandro1083]

@@edwardburroughs1489 I understand which is also a principle used in boxing a lot. Most people believe the "power hand" should go on the back, but I personally disagree. I'm right handed and fight south paw, I feel it better to have your dominant hand in front for a better jab (most important punch) and more controlled defense being able to parry easier. Also, there's tons of boxers out there who have a stance with their dominant hand forward ie Oscar De La Hoya, Miguel Cotto, Vasyli Lomachenko, etc...

[@victorglaviano]

​@@Jandro1083a good fighter can fight dominant and southpaw, of course as a right handed person I'm more comfortable fighting traditional, but when fighting or sparring, it's easy to get turned around, so you should be able to effectively transition and at least defend and jab in non-dominant or southpaw/traditional stance.

[@Icehso140]

Good video. Even with posture, ALL stances have a strong base direction and a weak base direction. Get someone in a stance with posture. Place a bo staff across their big toes. The staff points in the direction of their 2 strong bases. Push or pull in those directions and you will see the resistance. Place a staff between their feet at a 90 degree angle to the first staff and it will point in the direction of their weakest bases. A 5 year old child can easily pull an adult in the direction of their weakest base even if the adult has good posture. Knowing this allows us to determine which throw and direction we can use. Knowing this we can understand how an opponent can resist a hip throw if we simply turn in 180 degrees. If he is facing 6 o'clock with right foot forward, we may need to turn in and face more toward 4:30 to get him leaning in and on his toes.

The one thing that I learned over the years is to make certain your body is in good physical shape. Meaning go to the gym and learn how to lift weights and strengthen the body meaning your arms waist and especially your back to prevent future injuries. Talk with your Sensi about this.

Hi Sensei, very good video as usual, I would like to know what elements I must take into account to choose these three first tecnics? Thank you and a Happy new year!

[@shintaronakano2842]

How about choosing one Ashi-waza, one Te-waza and one Koshi-waza? Thanks for your comment!

Looking to get into judo at 36 age. My son has lost all three of his matches. Any advice for a young kid who wants to win first place in competition?

[@Medinavirtualfighting]

Great video! Wow very simple to understand and follow.

Nakano Sensei - I have a question if you don't mind, thanks. I was wondering when you teach beginners to start with focusing on just 3 throws, if the throws you named (ippon seionage, osotogari and ouchigari) were just examples or if those are the exact 3 throws that you recommend beginners start with? Thank you very much!

[@shintaronakano2842]

Thanks for your comment! I mentioned the three techniques as an example in this video. I recommended some Ashi-waza to start.

[@alessandromauri3459]

Man I took free Judo lessons when I was stationed in Yokosuka, Japan. The Sensei was about 60, 5' and 130. I was a 25 year old boxer and he could throw me and all of the other young guys like ragdolls! Koroda-san was a bad dude!
