      @@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.

      Same here, I also found it strange!

    • @didoview
      @didoview Před 11 měsíci +8

      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
      @vdv237 Před 2 měsíci

      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.

    • @thejollyroger9281
      @thejollyroger9281 Před rokem +16

      @@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!

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.

      @@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!!!

    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.

    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.

    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.
