Training program 1 DAN

Traning to a Black Belt.

 

Conditions are:

The judoka wants to get his/her black belt and wants to work hard for it
after about 16 years of training.

        1. Basic judo is developed.

        2. Work in a small group

        3. Uke must know Tori in and out. Preferably a coach

 

First of all, you have got to know what the standard acquirements are for the 1st 2nd or 3rd Dan.

You as teacher must know your student and do not look at what he/she can’t do, but what he/she can do.

 

When you know all the facts, you’ll have to make a program that will fit your judoka and that is as near as possible to a regular exam for the black belt.

 

In Holland this involves:the first 3 series of naga no kata

You must adjust the techniques so they will become SAVE.

So for the majority this means, kata-guruma being done on one knee, no sutemi-waza or kansetsu or shime-waza.

 

An own program. It is alowed to start with an own program of maximum 10 minutes, which involves tachi-waza and ne-waza

Renraku-waza en/of renzoku-waza

Kaeshi-waza

Hikomi-waza

GATAME-WAZA From an randori form performed

Situational ne-waza

Each of the following  5 techniques, 2 control techniques:

 

        1) Uke on his back; tori between the knees of uke.

        2) Tori on his back, Uke between the knees of tori.

        3) Uke ellebow  – knees.

        4) Tori ellebow - knees and is being attacked by uke.

        5) Uke on his stomach.

 

These twechniques must be performed from tachi waza ( if possible of course )

YAKU-SOKU-GEIKO

1) All techniques must be performed in movement.

2) Throwing must be done in 4 different directions.

Also here you have to category the judoka in one of the five levels:

1.Good

2.Moderate/ good

3.Moderate

4.Moderate/weak

5.Weak

 

Now you can begin your training.

Remember:

lStart with the basic principles   

lKeep it simple and the information as short as possible

lKeep it dynamic

lLearning = individual process

 

Black belt Training must be experienced as:

 

Fun, you have got to make the training playful and gammy and by doing this you will have to repeat the techniques over and over.

Kata training is very difficult and boring, except………..

If you bring it as if it is a very serious thing and must be very seriously done ( so you dramatise a bit ) you will notice that the judoka buys it. He / she will do his/her very best to do it seriously and by doing this so seriously they enjoy themselves very much. And after the training, when you compliment them on this, you will see them grow with self confidence. So if you bring it like this, they will asked you for it to do it over and over again, without being bored.

 

Remember that these trainings constantly have the same build up and because you train this you can expend the knowledge every week bit by bit. For instance, you begin with 6 gatame-waza in movement and after 1 or 2 weeks you will teach another one.

So the training build up is from easy to difficult, begin with ne-waza then go to tachi-waza and afterwards do Kata.

And after with in 1 or 2 years they will be ready to do the black belt exam.
