  • Judo playday Saturday, August 21. A fun, informal opportunity for regional judo folks to get together to share what they're working on. Interested?


Rhadi and Taraje passing around sumigaeshi

Taking a short break from my ongoing reviews of Rory Miller's Meditations on Violence, here are some great newaza training sessions with Olympians Rhadi Ferguson and TarajeWilliams-Murray training a guard pass from a sumigaeshi-like position.  It's cool to see Olympians drilling some of what seems like pretty low-level material, but in an advanced manner.  I learned a lot from this trio of videos and enjoyed them a lot.
.
You can get on Rhadi's email list at http://www.rhadi.com/, and I recommend that you do because you get a ton of high-quality training hints for free. Sometimes it even seems like Rhadi is "giving away the house" by sending out all this info for free, but There is so much knowledge lying under this thin crust that youget for free, that Rhadi still has a lot of knowledge to sell (for a reasonable price, I might add.)
.
It's also nice to see Olympians training in the living room surrounded by couches just like the rest of us mortals.

Martial arts training is a physical contact activity in which there is risk to the participants. Practice is frequently very physically strenuous and mentally and emotionally challenging. Participation can result in injuries or damages of any sort, including permanent disability, deformity, or death. Sometimes the risks are not even foreseeable by trained experts.
.
It would be wise of you to obtain the help of a qualified instructor and have a physician examine you and clear you for strenuous physical contact activity before you try any of these very dangerous activities. Always inspect the practice area, the equipment, your partners, and yourself for risks before starting. Your participation is voluntary, so if you see something that you think is unsafe you should immediately tell the instructor and decline to participate in that activity. Always work within your own limits.
