Even more than Ne-waza beware of learning standing techniques that can injure disabled judoka’s, because they can’t cope with this kind of techniques mental or physical.

 

In our point of view:

        - sutemi-waza’ (or techniques who seem to be  sacrificial throws);

 

        - To carry out a forward throw on one or two knees

 

        - To pull away the legs of the opponent with two hands a specially                throws like ‘morote-gari’ and  ‘ryo-ashi-dori’ or look a likes.

 

        - Falling on top of another contestant after carrying out a good

          technique.

 

Again in common sense O-soto-gari  is not a throw you learn to beginners.

 

From our point of view, any throw to the rear is always a problem for beginners who often find it difficult to hold their head up when falling backwards, consequently hitting their head on the tatami and sometimes resulting in injuries. Also, teaching techniques which are executed on one leg, ie. o-soto-gari, o-uchi-gari, uchimata, etc., to beginners who have not yet developed the skills and balance necessary to be able to execute such throws effectively and safely, does not make sense and creates potential for injury to one or both participants. It would make much more sense to start with simple techniques which are mostly executed on both feet in a stable position, this will give them a better chance to execute the throw successfully, minimizing the chance of injury, and increasing the development of clean effective judo with the right mental attitude of doing the throw well and finishing it off properly

There are 4 basic forms of throwing your opponent

 

        side-ways (left and right)

        forwards

        backwards

 

Remember, start with easy techniques.

So first start with side-ways throwing and later on when the student can perform a  forward roll ukemi-waza, then you can teach a forward throw and finaly backwards thowing

 

        Side-ways (de-ashi-barai; foot sweep)

        Forwards (uki-goshi; hip throw)

        Backwards (o-soto-gari; leg hook)

 

These are the most basic throws there are and from these throws it is easy to relay them to the other throwing techniques.

 

Repeat often these techniques in different forms and story’s.

 

Note:

Always teach everything in movement, or else you will have thought them nothing they can use in competition.

You are now building a competition as well as a technique judoka and of course a self confident person who makes his/her own future happen.

Preparation lesson tachi-waza

- Reminder of a previous lesson tachi-waza, where you want to build up to the main chapter of your lesson:

- Know what you thought the students and let them rehearse this in play form for 10 minutes.

- After that, you make randori form of what has been thought.

For instance: if you trained o-goshi, they only score points with this throw.

 

Main lesson tachi-waza:

Now you make the lesson more difficult for about 15 minutes and afterward randori-tachi-waza.

For instance: practice take-over-throw from o-goshi.

 

Randori-waza:

The students get the change to practice in playful competition what they have learned.

Make two teams (1 and 2)

- Your (team1) must try to pull someone from the other team (2) to your side. When you have been torn to the other side then you instantly belong to that team, so if you were ones team 1, you become team 2.

- Find a partner you didn’t have before and start Tachi-waza romping.

- You both grab with 1 hand the judogi under the armpits (smelly things) and stand on one side of the tatami.

- Tori pulls uke (uchi-komi like) on to his bicep ( ippon-seoi-nage) uke works a little bit against this movement NOT TO MUCH.

-When I say jime you will try to grab hold of your opponent sooner than he can, when you’ve get a hold on him you try to pull him into ippon-seoi-nage.

- When you succeed for the 3th time you may throw him.

- Randori tachi-waza and cooling down, bye bye.
