Although it's not common to play music during judo training in Malaysia, it's very common in Europe. It was a hit with KL Judo players who felt the music livened up the training and kept them motivated. My players said they wanted more of that so future trainings and randoris will feature music.
This is a clip of a drill we did to train players to avoid stepping out of the contest area. The attacker is to push against his partner and try to get him to step out. The defender's job is to stay within the contest area. After one song is over, the players switched roles with the attacker being the defender and vice-versa.
This exercise is more tiring than it looks. Everyone was exhausted after doing this.
One of the throws a lot of the players were interested in was the side takedown. I showed them a clip of the Laats brothers (Johan and Philip) who are considered the pioneers of the technique. They made this throw fashionable in the early 90s. Then I fast forwarded to today and showed them clips of Rishod Sobirov doing it in competition. After explaining the basics, I had them do this throw on crashpads (this is not the kind of throw that you can do uchikomi on).
The players managed to pick it up really well. The key to the throw is the grip and the entry.
Next, we have a clip of the players doing the side takedown, not as a throw but as a newaza movement that leads to osaekomi (yoko-shiho-gatame). We start with having them go through the motions, then with minimal resistance, some resistance and full resistance.
The final clip we have for you is our free-flowing randori session, which was set to music of course. The players fought hard, bearing in mind that they had been training for slightly over two hours already by the time we got around to randori, which lasted for about another 45 minutes.
At KL Judo, we are big into randori which we think is the most realistic way to learn.
