The true proponent of judo must know a variety of strangles he can use on his opponent. This is one of the best-kept secrets of judo. In this article we will discuss kata-ha-jime (single wing strangle), hadaka-jime (bare-hand strangle) and ryote-jime (two-hand strangle). All these strangles can be very useful againsy your opponent. 1. Kata-ha-jime (single wing strangle) Kata-ha-jime is a technique used in strangling an opponent from behind. With your left hand, grasp your opponent's right collar deeply, using a regular palm-down hold and pressing your forearm against and under his chin. Slide your right forearm under his right arm and carry his arm up and over the nape of his neck while drawing...

Bearing in mind the implications of stress theory, training should be fluctuating and cyclical in nature. Many sports are seasonal, judo is not; however, it is quite straightforward to prepare for one or two important events a year, whether it is the World Championships or a grading, the principle is the same. The best training for judo is judo, but it is not always possible to get the quality and frequency of practice you need, once you reach the higher grades, unless you are lucky or prepared to do a lot of traveling. So a black belt training three times a week at his local club needs to consider supplementary training of some sort. The most popular training methods most judo players take up to...

In excitation and message transfer, a time gap, like a physical solid, occurs between the stimulus and the contraction of the muscles. This time gap is called reaction time. It can be used to your advantage in your judo technique. Evaluation of the use of these three reactions in judo:a. Unconditioned reflex action Since this reflex action is unrelated to the joint nerve center, it tends to result unconditionally from any given stimulus. In judo or boxing, for instance, if your opponent makes a movement toward your face, you are apt to close your eyes. You must not do this. If you close your eyes you cannot see him for the moment. This momentary blindness of yours gives him a good chance to attack...

I treat martial arts somewhat as a sport and as a workout routine, but I'd be lying to you if I didn't think it also had some practical utility as a self defense technique, and a lot of the classes I teach focus on self defense, particularly in teaching classes to women and teenagers, in particular mugger defense and knife defense. Recently, I've had to give some thought into teaching knife defense. Knife defense and martial arts techniques sort of mix, and sort of don't. When we spar in class, we focus - and we focus a lot - on not hurting one another. Knife defense has to take a different approach. First of all, don't get into knife fights. I don't care how good you are, if you're bare handed and...

A samurai's sword is his most sacred and prized possession. Not only did the samurai rely on his sword to defend him, but spiritually the sword held greater significance as the samurai actually believed his soul inhabited the sword. Therefore it comes as no surprise that the same discipline and respect in which the samurai wielded his sword, went into the actual making of the sword itself. Swords weren't simply 'cast' in a mould and then sharpened. A Japanese samurai sword was made by an intricate process of heating the steel, hammering it flat, then folding it, then hammering it flat again, and folding. This process of repeated hammering and folding would be done up to as much as 30 times, or until...

In photography, exposure is the amount of light allowed to enter the camera, thereby making the image brighter or darker depending on the exposure time. If the shutter is open too long, the picture becomes overexposed, and far too bright. On the other hand, if the shutter is too quick, not enough light enters the camera, leaving the image dark and unusable. Clearly, the amount of exposure is an important part of photography. Fortunately, modern digital cameras make this much easier. By using a light meter, digital cameras can automatically fine-tune an image's exposure, resulting in better pictures. However, while the camera can determine the relative brightness or darkness in a photograph...

1 - Practicing Too Fast Virtually all guitar students practice everything at a speed that makes it impossible for their muscles to work in a relaxed fashion. Unknown to students, their muscles are in a state of chronic tension during the whole time they are practicing. This tension stays in the muscles due to the power of "muscle memory". Because of this, the student will be placing a severe limit on their guitar abilities. Everything will feel difficult because the hands, arms, and body have a level of tension during movements that simply does not allow for smooth action. The real secret is a super slow type of practicing that I call "No Tempo Practice". It has the power to unlock the professional...

You need to perform with set drills to the point they are unconsciously memorized. You want to have a wide...

"Our soul mate is someone who shares our deepest longings, our sense of direction. When we're two balloons, and together our direction is up, chances are we've found the right person" Richard Bach (American author of Jonathan Livingston Seagull 1936). For a long, long time I knew "he" was out there and that as fate would have it I would find him. This was the period in my life when I struggled for survival alone.I had just come out of a marriage, that I had not been ready for in the first place - it is always much easier to see these things in retrospect - and for the first time in eleven and half years, I was single. I married in 1983 after a seven year (to the day) courtship. You might say: seven...

The martial arts have long been held up as a way to enlightenment. Indeed, this is the goal at the end of the road of The True Martial Art. This article is about why this is so, and to enable the reader to walk to the end of that road all the sooner. Enlightenment is when light is emitted from an individual. With that light the enlightened being sees the world with different perception. His perceptions are heightened, and he has a viewpoint that rises above the norm. If enlightenment happened because of motion, then the fact of motion would result in enlightenment. Gymnastics, ballet, football, all would result in an enlightened individual, but they don't, so one must ask oneself, what is it about...
