AWESOME THROWING TECHNIQUES & TRAINING

REAL FIGHT THROWING HIGHLIGHTS

The top three necessary judo skills—grip strength, core strength and explosiveness. Grip strength is extremely important since you need to hold onto an opponent’s uniform (known as a gi)—You can’t throw if you can’t hold on. Significant core strength makes it tougher for opponents to throw you and you need to be explosive to score.

To train more like a judoka, Olympic Champions suggest doing more single leg squats, off bench oblique holds and chin-ups. The leg squats are, of course, great for leg strength and explosiveness, oblique holds will do a number on your core, and chin ups are great for grip and upper body strength.

JUDO
Judo (meaning “gentle way”) is a modern martial art, combat and Olympic sport created in Japan in 1882 by Jigoro Kano . Its most prominent feature is its competitive element, where the objective is to either throw or takedown an opponent to the ground, immobilize or otherwise subdue an opponent with a pin, or force an opponent to submit with a joint lock or a choke. Strikes and thrusts by hands and feet as well as weapons defenses are a part of judo, but only in pre-arranged forms (kata,) and are not allowed in judo competition or free practice. A judo practitioner is called a judoka.
