This is what we have in store for you today:
Warm Up: The Dojo Ball Game
This is a High Intensity Interval Training game that we learned from The Dojo in Singapore but we modified it a bit. Firstly we smaller balls. Secondly instead of four players (one in each corner of the mat), we have eight players (two at each corner). This encourages team work and strategy. The last time we played this we experimented with six balls. This proved to difficult for any pair to win. Then we tried eight balls and one corner seemed to win it consistently, so obviously they managed to figure out a strategy that works. For today, we will try seven balls. This game is a lot of fun and sure to get your heart beat racing.
More Than Sport: Judo at Turkey-Syria Border Refugee Camp
We'll watch a short clip about judo being practiced at a refugee camp in Kilis, Turkey that is home to thousands of refugees coming across the border from Syria. Two of our club members are from Syria.
Newaza: Neil Adams Juji-Gatame Roll
Neil Adams's unique way of rolling uke onto his back for juji-gatame is not the most common juji-gatame roll (the Alexandre Iastkevich roll is far more common) but it's the most versatile way to roll uke because the figure-4 grip involved allows uke to be rolled from the back and the front. We'll watch a clip of Adams winning the World title with this technique and we will then work on it.
Tachi-Waza: Hifumi Abe’s Sode-Tsurikomi-Goshi
Hifumi Abe was the star of the recent 2017 Budapest World Championships where he threw many of his opponents with his unique brand of sode-tsurikomi-goshi. Most stand-up sodes are done from a sleeve-lapel grip. Abe does it from a double-sleeve grip. His entry into the sode is also not traditional. Instead of pulling upwards, he pulls across, leading with his elbow. We'll watch clips of him executing this technique various times at the World Championships and then we'll try it out.
Randori: Newaza/Tachi-Waza
As usual, at least 1/3 of our training is devoted to randori. We'll start off with newaza randori and then we'll do tachi-waza. We have a few guests and newcomers coming but not too many so most likely there's enough room for everyone to be on the mat at the same time for both newaza and tachi-waza.
Gotong Royong Dojo Clean UpJudo is a full contact sport so cleanliness and hygiene is crucial. That doesn't just mean showing up with a clean judogi but also ensuring the mats are clean too. But the mats don't clean themselves, so we have to do it. It's been a while since we last cleaned our mats so after practice we will all work together to clean up the tatami we train on.
