Judo Techniques, Mastering Judo
What are some Judo techniques? They come from Jujitsu. Jujitsu is well over a thousand years old. The Sumo wrestler used Jujitsu. We are not sure when it started but Jujitsu has its roots in China and Japan. Judo became well accepted during war and the soldiers use it to fight in war without the use of weapons. Later on schools were everywhere because the masters pasted the art form down to their students. That made Jujitsu so useful.
Jujitsu would have become a lost art form but a few students back in the 18th century passed this art form down to others because their was a lack of people in the schools. Around 1882 a school was opened up and the term was changed to Judo which means the gentle way. Now this art form is mainly known by its term Judo. Quality rituals and excellent performance was passed down with the progression of students.
Nobody really knows when Judo came to the USA, but rumor has it that it came to this country through the American President Theodore Roosevelt. He saw the sport between two people; he was so daunted by the sport that he began taking lessons from a Judo expert.
Not only was Judo brought to America, it was also brought to Britain in the early 1900s. Classes were so popular that about 40 schools opened up and Judo got its foothold in America.
Judo enables the small weak man to over power the big and strong man. The first thing that is learned in Judo is not to fight with your own strength. If you do, the stronger man will win. Instead, the student surrenders. If someone pushes you, you give way to their push. This brings the balance towards your direction. Judo causes the other person to fight off balanced. Before you can execute a move you have to cause the other person to get off balanced.
The second thing you should get in Judo is that it operated from different levels. Take a big rock. You can lift the rock by placing a level underneath the rock and lifting it with a bar. That is how Judo works is taking a different force to over power something where strength is needed.
When you start to learn Judo you are going to be using 3 fundamental movements, you need to first learn the techniques, when you attack, you cause the other person to get off balance, and then you work at doing the movements faster as you progress farther into the sport. As a beginner you would set those goals and make new ones. As you are doing Judo you’ll find an opportunity to catch the other person off balance. Then you take the lead with his power to over throw him. With a little bit of practice you can become very good at this sport. Now you know some of my Judo techniques.
