Book excerpt: The Judo Twins is a compelling book that will capture both the heart and mind of the reader. It is the story of twin brothers who were given up by their dysfunctional parents as infants and sent to orphanages where they would spend their entire childhood. Yet, they grew up to become world class athletes in the noble sport of Judo and became known the world over as the Judo Twins! The difficult journey of the twins to this proverbial mountain top makes for a moving human interest story as they overcome considerable adversity to reach their goals. But, it was their great passion for the unique sport of Judo that provided the pathway in their unending quest for improvement and self-expression. Some of the biggest names on the national and international judo scene in the last 50 years voice their innermost thoughts in this book to explain why this sport has had such an overwhelming impact on their own lives. There is, however, another important dimension to this story and that is the strong and indestructible life-long commitment that the twins have had to each other. When all of these themes come together, the result is a multi-faceted tale that every reader can enjoy. The Judo Twins pulled and pushed themselves up to the top of their particular mountain and readers will be delighted to go along on this interesting and unusual ride.
Download or read book The Throw written by Danny Hicks and published by Fighting Films - Ippon Books. This book was released on 2022-12-19 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this first book from Superstar Judo’s guide to Throwing for Ippon, The Throw explores the different Tachi-waza systems used by many of the world’s greatest judoka. Understand how Olympic and world champions have developed their unique judo identities, with remarkable insights into their separate philosophies and approaches to scoring Ippon. Find out how Japan’s triple World and Olympic Champion Toshihiko Koga revolutionised the sport in the late 1980s and early 1990s, when he showed his incredible reverse style of judo to the world. Understand the incredible Total Judo system developed by Dutch Olympic Champion Mark Huizinga that was used to break a number of international judo records. Great Britain’s Craig Fallon reveals how his do-or-die attitude influenced his judo, whilst France’s Darcel Yandzi talks about the importance of movement and technique, and how he incorporates music into his coaching. Korea’s greatest ever fighter – triple World and Olympic Champion Ki-Young Jeon – remained unbeaten on the global stage. Don’t miss out on his incredible judo method, which includes multiple grip changes, feints and combinations. USA’s double Olympic and World Champion Kayla Harrison emphasises the balance between physical and mental preparation. The off-the-grip style of judo is best represented by France’s triple world and Olympic Champion Lucie Décosse. For a classical approach, there is nobody better to look at than Japan’s Keiji Suzuki. The double world and Olympic Champion made Ashi-waza an art form in men’s heavyweight judo. In contrast to Suzuki are the very unorthodox styles of Georgian and Mongolian judo. With an introduction to five different judoka, this is chance to learn about unusual grips and entries of attack. The Throw, and Book 2 – The Grip, are essential reading, forming the basis to all remaining books in the series. Incredible photographic sequences accompany most of the technique variations. These come from Fighting Films’ vast archive, with many of the images being shown for the first time. Fighting Films has been closely working alongside the world’s greatest judoka for over 30 years. Throwing for Ippon is the first project where all of this international technical expertise is compiled in one place. Presented by Superstar Judo, Fighting Films’ online coaching subscription site, the techniques can also be viewed in video format by clicking on a QR code at either the start or end of each book. The author is Fighting Films partner Danny Hicks, who was IJF TV Director from 2009-2017. This guide is an essential for all judoka. Whether you just want to learn the basics of a throw or be inspired by numerous different variations from the world’s best, Throwing for Ippon reveals the techniques that are proven to work at the very highest level.

Book excerpt: Thousands of young judoka all over the world worry about competing in their first Judo tournament. Thoughts such as: "What if I lose in ten seconds? What if I embarrass myself?

Download or read book Kimura written by Christopher Clarke and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-01-27 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone who has watched a Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) match or tournament has heard of "the kimura," a specialized arm lock that many people try to use, but few are successful in applying. Few, even among jujutsu and MMA aficionados, however, know what the lock called a "kimura" was derived from an early link to karate as well as judo and jujutsu. The story is at once fascinating, inspiring, and tragic. The "kimura" is named after perhaps the best judo competitor who ever lived, Kimura Masahiko (1917-1993). In an age before weight lifting became an integral part of judo practice, Kimura was an avid weight lifter and body builder. He was, and remained, one of the strongest judo competitors throughout the 1930s and 1940s-strongest in both its senses. A judo prodigy in high school, he reportedly lost only four formal judo matches in his entire career, all during his freshman year in college. In 1935, shortly after entering college, he defeated eight fourth-dan opponents in a row, losing only to the ninth man he faced. For this performance he became the youngest fifth dan in Japan. Through the late 1930s and early 1940s, Kimura dominated the judo competition circuit, repeatedly winning the All-Japan championship; he resumed his winning ways after judo was reinstated in 1947. Financially stretched trying to pay for his wife's medical care on a teacher's salary, in 1951, Kimura accepted an invitation to travel to Brazil to teach and compete with the increasingly famous Helio Gracie in Brazilian-rules competition. His bout became legendary: after exhausting minutes of scuffling for position and successful throws, Kimura finally downed Gracie and followed up with an attempt to smother him into submission. He saw the opportunity to apply his favorite ude-garami ("kimura") lock. Refusing to surrender, Gracie suffered a broken arm, and Kimura was declared the winner. Paradoxically, the loss made Gracie even more famous. Kimura's return to Japan was not greeted with acclaim and plaudits, however. Because he had awarded judo promotions without the permission of the Kodokan Headquarters, his promotions were frozen, and he watched as his juniors and inferiors surpassed his 7th dan for the next 40 years. Sadder yet, Kimura entered the shadow world of professional wrestling, largely to make money, where he was betrayed and humiliated. Despite these setbacks, Kimura's spirit never wavered. He taught judo at his alma mater, Takushoku University, from 1960 until his death in 1993, training Olympic bronze and silver medalists and an All-Japan Champion. Although his rank was frozen at 7th dan from the age of 30 until his death at 75 by the petty vindictiveness of the Kodokan authorities, Kimura never lost his spirit. A life-long smoker, Kimura was diagnosed with lung cancer. Hospitalized after surgery, and in his 70s, Kimura started doing push-ups in his room. He died on April 18, 1993 at the age of 75, arguably the best judo competitor ever-and one of the most important judo figures ever to be mistreated by the leaders of his art.
