Why you are barefoot when you practicing judo?
Yes, I agree. Safety and cleanliness would be big reasons. Judo is practiced on mats in a controlled environment with rules to abide by. If you were wearing your shoes, you could accidentally end up causing injuries to your training partner from the hard abrasive rubbing and contact that a shoe would probably cause.
AnswerMost martial arts train in their barefeet. There are many reasons for it, including that most didn't have shoes in the earliest years.But predominantly shoes where not worn indoors, but were removed at the door when entering a home in Japan.
Shoes are likely to cause injury to training partners.
Working out barefoot also strengthens the muscles in the foot. There is also no unnatural placement of the foot due to the shoes.
There is also the advantage for grappling styles like Judo that when barefoot, the feet can be used like a second set of hands as they have a crude ability to grasp. For example: With a sutemi you use your foot to push your opponent over your head (you put your foot on his stomach). A shoe can hurts your opponent with this move. Bare feet are more pleasent for your oppenent.
How many gold medals did japan win in judo?
Japan won 37 medals at the Athens Summer Olympics in 2004.
Japan won 16 golds, equaling its highest ever total, recorded on home soil at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. In terms of gold medals the country finished at a highly credible 5th, behind the U.S., China, Russia and Australia. Judo and swimming yielded especially large medal hauls, but Japanese competitors also struck gold in the women's marathon, the men's team gymnastics, the men's hammer and women's freestyle wrestling.
A Judo Gi. The Gi in Japanese is translated into uniform. There are different types of uniforms. White and Blue, competition one and non-competition.
Normally you will wear your non-competition uniform in your Dojo (the hall where you train with your instructors)
And you'll wear your thick and heavy Gi to competitions.
Also, it's very useful to own both white and blue uniforms. Because at competition you may be asked to switch colours.
I personally use my blue Gi for competitions and my white Gi when I'm training.
Hope this helps :)
