Judo......?

everyone out there who practices judo... pls help... i wan to noe if there are any specific exercises tt will help to improve oneself in judo... pls help pls help|||i studied a few different martial arts over the years, heres some things i found that helped:





knuckle pushups - you want to keep your wrists strong in a fisted position, like you%26#039;d have once you%26#039;ve grabbed someone%26#039;s gi, only let your first 2 knuckles touch the ground.





regular pushups - you want the muscles on the inside of your wrists strong too. after a while, mix it up with fingertip pushups too.





sledgehammer spins - get a sledge hammer (20 pounds or more) with a handle thats 2 feet long. hold it out in front of you, and with one hand (or both) grip the very end of the handle (with the hammer itself down) and try to rotate it in a clockwise motion. then, try counterclockwise. you wont be able to do it, but see how high you can lift it. your entire arms and chest will probably go nuts after you do that a few times, this helps strengthen everything when you%26#039;d do any type of twisting movement for grappling or throws.





horse stance squats - open a door in your house so that the door is outward (not closed, not against a wall). now, put your back against the edge of the door, and in a horse stance, do squats. try to keep your back straight so that its against the door, which means your back is totally vertical, you%26#039;re not leaning in any direction.





soup cans - get a few large cans of soup or veggies in your kitchen, hold them out at your sides with your arms straight. just see how long you can go. every few days, try to add 5 or 10 seconds. your shoulders will hate you, but it works well.





good luck!|||maybe i didnt understand the question. when you say %26quot;improve oneself%26quot;, i just took it to mean improve your physical ability, but you might have meant the non-physical side of things. was there a certain aspect of things you wanted to know about? Report Abuse
|||try to do streches and creating your own exercises really help to boost your judo skills. Pratice your judo on a dummy or pole. With a pole put a jacket and bottoms on it and try moves on it. Pretend u r really fighting something. Report Abuse
|||don%26#039;t try to grab the kumi kata with your full hand. I mean let your thumb free from the kumi kata, use other fingers to grab it. Grip with your little finger tight, that way your most powerful fingers are free to stay loose and flexible, it allows you to move your arms quickly and to relax your arms when needed. This flexibility saves energy and keeps you from tiring over the course of the match. You can read also mastering judo from masao takahashi family.

Go running, rowing, cycling etc. For strength, do weight training, chin ups, push ups. For technique, uchikomi and randori. If I were you I%26#039;d concentrate more on technique than strength. Entering competitions is also a good way to help you improve. You%26#039;ll learn techniques that actually work rather than just look good :)|||definite, standing deep breathing - do two sets of 60 reps each
