| Something interesting about this subject that others may not know: Many times people confuse Judo with other types of fighting arts. Judo was taken from the art of Jujitsu. As a sport, Judo does not use striking and, or kicking techniques. It uses throwing, pinnning, and submission techniques such as chocks and armbars. Judo is mostly used for sport, but is very effectives for self-defense. The art of Jujitsu includes striking, and kicking techniques. | | What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? At the age of 53, My main years of competition is over, expect ground fighting. I no longer do standing competion, due to an unstaple knee. I will contiune to instruct others in these arts. I hope to continue coaching more National Champions and maybe even a World Champion in the future. | | What do you like about this subject? The main reason I chose Judo over other types of Martial Arts, is because I believe it has a higher degree of self-control. Kids, especially do not need to be taught how to hit and kick, they do enough of that as it is; instead they need to learn to control their actions. Judo teaches this control. | | Something controversial or provocative about this subject Judo may never carry the glamor that karate has but think about this, 90% of all fights end up on the ground in more of a wrestling type conflick. Judo teaches you how to fight and restrain your opponent from there. I think the best thing about it is it's not set in a ridget frame work everyone can make it work for their body size and type. If what you do works then it's not wrong. |
