Tuesday is newaza night

With our new training structure, Tuesdays will be reserved for newaza while Fridays will be tachi-waza.

For this Tuesday, we will continue with our tokui-waza development modules with tori and uke working on three key scenarios (as can be seen in the pictures above).

For each of the scenarios there are multiple things tori can do (osaekomi turnover, strangle, armlock, sankaku). Each player has to decide which technique they want to specialize in for each scenario.

I will be going through the whole range of things tori can do for each of the scenarios:
a) Tori head-to-head
b) Tori riding turtle
c) Tori in guard position

This will be a good refresher for those who are already familiar and an eye-opener for beginners who will surely marvel at the wide range of techniques available to them for each of the scenarios. Don't let anyone tell you judo doesn't have much groundwork. Actually there is a rich array of moves for you to learn if you want to.

Some players, especially the more advanced ones, would know already what they want to do. So their task is to perfect their moves and to do repetition drills to build in muscle memory. For beginners, we will help you identify the best techniques for you to try.
