Judo

You will find the origins of Judo and Akido quite connected. Judo helps you understand the flow of the force (please, not starwars, but the 'push'. You know, when others are trying to punch you?) and helps you overcome it with much less effort. It originated as a mean of defense, though it can be offensive too. You learn how to tip other people's balance and make them fall basically, at the same time you learn how to use your strength to much better advantage.

Duration of Judo match is 3 minute for children limited, adult is 5 minute and 3 minute for master level.

mon

In the initial Dan rankings, solid red.

1st-5th Dan Black Belts wear a black belt. 6-8 wear black belts also but can wear a red and white striped belt. 9-10 wear a red belt, the highest rank ever reached. (Theoretically if one attains perfection in judo, they are 12th dan and wear a double wide belt, to distinguish from a single-wide beginners belt.)

*The ranks used in other countries including Europe use the black belt as the highest, with the order of ranks being white, red, yellow, orange, green, blue, brown, and black.

it depends on your sense (instructor) some are very serious (bigger clubs) and some are focused on just learning (the smaller clubs)

i have been doing judo for 5 years and have been to 6 competitions

Not really. Atemi-waza does exist in the advanced training of judo, but the shuto, or knife hand, is not taught.

Tenth dan. I think there are only three people who have it right now. In the world.

It depends on what throw you are doing. For example, usually doing a throw like Ippon Sionage or osoto is pretty fast. Most throws, if done correctly take less than a second to complete, but it can take up to 20 or so seconds to set up.

depending on your age it can take different amounts of time. you have to be at least 16 years old to gain it.

Yes, both men and women are allowed to do judo. However, men and women may not fight each other in tournaments just practices.

The name of any martial arts practice area is the dojo(pronounced du-jo). The floor of it is called tatami (pronounced tae-ta-mee)

quite popular, actually. There are many Clive that you can sign in to and take courses. And i'm not completely sure, but i think that France is one of the best countries, having one many Olympic medals in judo.

If your a junior:

Yellow belt + 1 stripe = 4th mon

Yellow belt + 2 stripes = 5th mon

Yellow belt + 3 stripes = 6th mon

If your a senior it's called a 5th kyu

there are 2 competitors one referee and 2 other referees, sitting on a chair at two of the corners of the mats, to help support the main referee when awarding ippon/waz-ari/yukoand shido(penalty points)

Judo is not a game. Judo is a martial art and an Olympic discipline. So, it is more appropriate to say that Judo is practiced instead of played.

Judo is practiced in a dojo.

A dojo is the place where Japanese martial arts are practiced.

I would think that instead of using your bisepts or triseps, in judo you have more use of you shoulders and back. This is only my oppinion, I have been diong judo for 7 years. But in saying this having powerfull biseps do wonders.

No, judo contains throws, hold-downs, arm locks, strangles, theory and also how to land safely

it may be sensei, like in karate, but im not completely sure

There are two opponents, both wearing gees (not sure about that spelling) who "spar" on a mat about 10 by 10. to win a match, you must get a full point (epone). to get a full point, you can throw your opponent flat on their back or pin them for 25 seconds. there are also half points, quarter points (which don't add up), and penalties (which are quarter points). you can be thrown out of a match/competition by getting 4 penalties. there is 1 ref, backed up by 2 corner judges, who help him with the points and stuff.

if you ever have the chance to go to a judo tournament, i suggest it. its a great experience and fun to watch

i have been doing judo for 5 years, and have gone to 6 competitions

Many. For safety purposes, most dojos will use mats, makiwara for conditioning, punching bags, stone weights, bamboo poles, ceramic and metal weights. And for the sports side they use soft mits, feet, groin, mouth guards.

As with all Olympic sports, starting one or two Olympic before you will compete, work hard, get on the national squad. Through national and international competition success and consistency over the intervening years, secure a place on the national Olympic team. Go to the Olympics, beat all nations, win Gold.
