"Do not be afraid to get thrown." Best advice for beginner judo athletes.
Thanks for your comment!
Was told this last night….I was afraid to be thrown down and did hurt my back. Missed class tonight. 😀💪🏾 we try again tomorrow
so what do we love to get throw and enjoy the pain?
@@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.
@@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.
Just started judo. I am 57 years old. Thank you for this video. You give me confidence to continue!
dont give up brother, that's what martial arts is about. im proud of you
Great decision, my friend, you will not regret it. Judo is something you can do at almost any age and you will benefit physically and mentally (and maybe even spiritually) from regular training. Good luck on your new journey 🙂
Keep Going!
Thanks for your comment, and good luck on your Judo Journey🙏
Good for you! I'll be 57 in a couple of months as well.
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.
i am a lifelong boxer and boxing coach, i have just started judo and also found this very different.
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.
Same here, I also found it strange!
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.
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.

I’m 28, just did my first class of Judo , I’m very exited , thank you so much for all the tips !
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?
@@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!
@@thejollyroger9281 ukemi seems to be a super big deal indeed. It actually saved my life a few months ago yo I'm not gonna be the one to disagree with you.
Thanks for your comment, and good luck on your Judo Journey🙏
Iv been doing judo for a week now and they haven’t touched on any of the basics, I’m glad we live in a time where this information can be found if you know here too look.
I hope drilling the basics daily will help me to catch up to and exceed others who have been training for much longer.
I'd like to know which of the fundamentals I mentioned you would like to improve on! Thanks for watching and sharing it!
All of them sir
Ma-ai, especially how to position yourself against a defensive opponent so you can get through the defence and throw them without getting countered.
Kumikata - ways to strengthen the grip. Thank you Sensei and happy new year 2022!
All of them! I think the blue ones need the most work for me.
I want to work on off balancing, as I'm quite good at using my legs, but not good at using my arms as much.
This is an absolutely fantastic video and much needed for my personal growth. I just began learning Judo six months ago at the age of 42 (43 now) and having exercises that I can use alone, at home, to help me learn faster is priceless. Thank you!
What are you using for judo-supportive exercises?
How are you coping with injuries/ wear and tear?
@@gibbsy-wd5nq Well, now I'm using a lot of the exercises found in this video. Prior to this I hadn't been given any exercises to do at home but had been doing Aikido (good for ukemi) for a year prior to beginning Judo. My kids are also in Judo and so I bought mats for home so we could practice and review together.
@@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.
Wow, that's amazing! I'm about your age. I did some judo in college and train BJJ now.
I can't imagine putting my body through Judo now, but I guess I'm not training BJJ in the same way as the 20 year olds are now either 😂
Good training!
Oss
Thank you so much master, I am russian and 16 years old learning judo like 6 months and didn't knew such small things, now I know what I have to do, thanks again!
Thanks for your comment, and good luck on your Judo Journey🙏
@@shintaronakano2842 thank you!!
Momentum, weight transfer and changing angles... Good fundamentals to understand and learn!
I train BJJ but would love to one day train in Judo. What a fantastic art !

Great, informative video. Thank you!
I have been looking for exactly something like this video, and very glad I found it! Excellent tutorial that convinced me to subscribe and see the rest of the channel! Thanks . . .
Thank you very much Nakano Sensei! I learned a lot. The sabaki I have never visualized a box. That was a cool concept.
This brings some fond memories when I was 19. It's weird that I can still remember some of the techniques of Judo, even when I haven't practiced it so long.
Awesome video!
Thank you for this video. You are very thorough for each technique

Thank you Sensei.
Wow. 10:00
There is a wealth of small details in the kuzushi for Osoto-gari.
1. His gaze direction (he watches 11 o'clock): 10:08
2. Contraction: The way he contract his limbs/body and put his weight in the counter-direction: 10:09
3. Expansion: Pulling partner off-balance sideways [the arm firmly 9 o'clock and towards belt. The lapel upwards] and a step in with bent knee and without planting his hail. 10:10
And he is lose at all times. I was impressed too. **loose not lose, typo
Thanks so much!
Thank you for the video ! I wanted to start judo but now I’m sure !

Hope you enjoyed! Thanks for your comment!
Thank you so much master 🙏🙏🙏
I like that this video has lots of context rather than just showing each skill in isolation. It makes it easier to grasp the entire picture.
Furthermore, the demonstrations you showed were very thoughtful and useful in explaining the details. Thank you!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for your comment and support!
Thanks for the training and my fav part in the vid is the asmr lol
You summarized the fundamental concepts of judo in just over 20 minutes, very good!!
And your english is very clear too
Please, keep on making videos like this, thank you 👏👏💪👏👏🥋
I will try my best! Thanks for your comment!
Glad I found your channel. Been doing BJJ but been wanting to learn more judo throws
More to come! Thanks for your comment!
After 11 years I'm about to start with Judo again. Thanks for the summary/ lesson and the motivation!

thanks for this video i am 18 years old and i just started judo and i am really learning a lot and my dream is to be in the top of this sport i have a long way to go but i will work hard for it
I like the idea
Wonderful
Thank you sensei that was really helpful.
The infographic in the thumbnail is really good.
Can you tell me where to get the image?
Thankyou sensei for the throwing knowledge now I can use t in my karate 🥋
Thanks for your comment!
As someone who has just started judo (1 month), I can confirm that your tutorials are very important and vital for starting this sport. I really appreciate you and I hope you all the success.🙏
Thanks for your comment and support!
@@shintaronakano2842 you're welcome 😊
Good advice.
Glad it was helpful!
@@shintaronakano2842 I have wanted to put a square on my floor for some time, and, have done those stancing movements for over 25 years. What would be the best length for the sides be? Would it be best to make the sides the length that is equal to the spread of my hips, where the femur attaches to the pelvis, or, the widest part of the pelvis? It does seem that one can determine their most stable AND fluid neutral stance, merely by experimenting the width, and, then, doing the movement drills, but, what length would you deem as being "ideal?" Thanks again for this video- you break down and illustrate the foundational basics very well! IMO, one must always keep a solid understanding of the foundational basics, no matter what level they are.
This video helped me so much, I have been training judo for about 6 months now, and I had only 3 ippons in randori, but after working on the 6 principles, I got 3 throws off in 1 day of randori amazing!!!
Also I hardly got thrown, but I always used to before this video.
@@oscar-wi3tj Thank you for your comment! I'm glad to hear this video helped your judo!
Thanks
Practice of drills is a good investment!
thankies
Thanks
I've recently started training in judo about a month, but during randori, my ankle got injured (badly sprained) and it has been over 3 weeks, pain didn't really go away. But, I love judo and couldn't just stop training. I went back yesterday and it was worth the pain. Haha. I started reading about judo (the fundamentals/ techniques) without illustrations, so coming to videos like this are helpful. Thanks.
Glad it helped! Thanks for your comment!
As a JiuJitsu Black Belt instructor, I love this video. Judo is something I'm putting more time into both for myself and my students. Thank you.
Thanks for your comment and support!
Amazing 🙏🙏👍👍💪💪👊👊🥋🥋
As a 42 year old adult, I was never taught ANY of this. We just proceeded through Dai Ikkyo. After I made my first belt rank, I became discouraged, because everyone else was a younger judoka who had dreams of competition and a very aggressive attitude that seemed counter to what I had believed Judo was to be. You seem like a good Sensei, the one that I wish I had thirty years ago.
Thanks for your comment and support!
I am 14 and I started a week ago and I am very motivated
