What is the best way to excel in judo as a novice ?

Go to the dojo as often as you can. Train with higher ranked and bigger uke%26#039;s as much as you can. And listen to your sensei and higher ranked members. They have alot they can teach you.


Some have a thinking bases of competition style and others are very Kata technique thinkers. Learn both... But if you do plan on competing in tournaments make sure you get someone with fihgting experience show you counters and variations on throws to make them more suitable for competition.


I trained for over 12 years then took a while off. I recently got back into it a few months ago and found that by going at least 2-3 days a week and working with the more experienced people I have gotten back up to 75%. In another few months I will be 100%


Biggest thing don%26#039;t get frustrated just enjoy it and before long you ill be great.|||Training. Period.





To excel..make it at least 3 times a week. Shoot for 4 or 5.|||First off listen to your master, and practice hard. Secondly study on your own when you can. Read books about the art, and learn as much as you can.





you must practice, and apply...|||I currently cross train in judo and brazilian jujitsu. I have been in judo for 4 yrs and jujitsu 4 months. It really comes down to going consistently and training hard. You probably won%26#039;t feel that you are improving right away but when you train against someone who is not as good as you will feel a difference and eventually you will be as good as who you train with. My advice is to train with people who are much better than you are and eventually you get there.|||Practice|||Have all of the following down pat...

2)repeat step 1


focus to train and condition the body; one must never show any signs of laziness|||Strength training and conditioning help alot. I came into Judo and was basically decent from the start because I did alot of lifting and jogging. Deadlifts, bench press and squats are great exercises. I had a boxing back ground which helped with the balance and mental part. Athleticism and fitness go a long way. Try to become stronger and faster is going to help. If you can work your way up to deadlift 500 lbs alot of guys will have a hard time throwing you it is a fact.|||The more you get your butt kicked the more you will learn grasshopper.|||balance, balance, balance
