Most people may be familiar with judo in its Olympic form or heard the name in some campy martial arts flick, but these mainstream representations tend to play down, or completely disregard the nonphysical aspects of judo.
Judo, and all of budo training, is about much more than self defense and throwing people around. I feel that these principles the nonphysical, not the throwing people around can be applied in any aspect of life, particularly the workplace.
One of the fundamental beliefs of judo is that maximum effect should be achieved with minimum effort. The case of Majlinda Kelmendi from Kosovo further illustrates the social role of judo. This exciting sport and martial art is now easier to learn thanks to this handy book , which explains the key topics needed to get started in judo, purposely designed to let even the barest beginners get a quick handle on what it means to practice judo, and start applying its principles.
Instead of trite philosophy, or mere techniques, this book cuts right to the core of what it means to be a judo practitioner. The video in this link illustrates some benefits of judo, in the words of people who practice this activity.
Experience the positive influence that judo can have on your life. You do not have to spend a lifetime training to see its benefits, judo can be highly rewarding even for beginners.
A martial art that is vastly underrated in MMA today. An Olympic Bronze medalist in judo, she has used her skills to finish six straight fights, all by first-round armbar. That is an incredible feat. Judo is not as popular as other martial arts in MMA. Judo in MMA can be extremely effective, if you know what you are doing.
Knowing Judo gives you some excellent moves to use in the cage. It improves your clinch work exponentially. The practice of judo techniques helps people develop basic and fundamental physical fitness in a number of ways, such as the development of strength, flexibility, agility, speed, dynamic and static balance, explosive power, and endurance.
The practice of active attack and defense helps develop reaction time, coordination, and overall physical self-confidence. Judo students become physically bigger, stronger, and faster through their practice of judo. Not only does judo produce tremendous gains in overall physical and athletic ability; judo students learn the specific skills and techniques of judo. They learn a variety of techniques in order to throw their opponents to the ground with force, speed, and control.
While judo students are often exposed to many of these types of throwing techniques in their judo careers, they usually master only a handful, and a handful is generally all that is needed to be successful in contemporary judo competitions.
Judo students also learn the fundamental principles and the dynamics of subduing their opponents on the ground through the application of pinning and submission techniques.
Their prowess both on the ground and on their feet, combined with the considerable basic physical fitness gained from daily judo practice, affords judo students with a considerable repertoire of techniques, skills, knowledge, and abilities.
These, in turn, allow them to be excellent athletes, with a sound physical base of fundamental skills, and formidable and imposing opponents in competition.
But beyond the development of physical prowess and athletic ability, judo students learn much more. They learn how to control their feelings, emotions, and impulses. They learn about values of perseverance, respect, loyalty, and discipline.
Judo students develop an outstanding work ethic, as well as important social manners and etiquette. They learn to overcome their fears, and to show courage under pressure.
