I had an email call for some discussion on ukigatame, the 'floating hold' in judo, also known as the knee-on-belly or knee-on-chest position in jiujitsu. Following is a quickie vid I put together of several good examples of the position in practice. A handful of helpful things to look for include:Tori is getting a knee or shin against uke's torso pretty soon after he lands. The purpose of this

Dave commented on a post a couple of days ago that he wasn't ever able to get hizaguruma to work against resistive guys. Here's a handful of hints that might help.If you check out the Kodokan Judo book, hizaguruma is shown on page 61. I think the actual action of the throw takes place between photos #11 and #12, concealing the secret of the throw, which is you have to do it on the rear leg ins

My list of five (or six) indispensable judo books and five (or again, six) great aikido books met with such great success that I thought you might like to see a handful of suggestions for great books on the big picture of martial arts. Some of these are indispensable strategy classics, some are philosophical, and some are political. Some of them are directly related to martial arts and some, only
Judo as a self-defense art excels in one particular situation that can give other martial artists sweating terrors – that is, when the defender is surprised and rushed and overwhelmed and borne down to the ground. In this situation, judo’s sacrifice throws crop up and often save the day. Following are five of my favorites. I’ve said it before and I'll say it again – don’t p
There are a bazillion ways to get out from between uke’s legs in a grappling situation. Following are five of my favorites. Get base and break the closed guard apart – First things first. If you do not get a wide base and an upright posture then you will be unable to do anything from between uke’s legs. Even though the judo rules prevent uke from squeezing with his legs, allowing uke to
A few days ago I posted a list of absolute must-read judo books and since then several readers have responded saying that they loved those books and appreciated the recommendations. I figured I'd post a similar list of aikido books. Following are five great aikido books and a sixth - a little lagniappe if you will.

One of my students asked me today what are some good judo books that I'd recommend for his off-mat time. The following five are invaluable and indispensable. If you're going to be reading about judo then you pretty much have to start out with these books.

Seoinage is certainly not my tokuiwaza (best, favorite throw), but here is a handful of good pointers that I work on to try to get better...Make sure that when you turn in, your knees are well bent, placing your center way under theirs.

Shihonage (lit. ‘four-directions throw’ or more loosely, ‘all-directions throw’) is the first of the ‘Six Pillars of Aikido' (shihonage, iriminage, kaitennage, kokyunage, osaekomi, ushirowaza). This technique is very common across most martial arts. Here are a handful of hints I’ve found helpful in working on shihonage.Work your way through the name of the thing. Work on finding ways you can throw this thing in every direction.Do it part of the time with only one hand and part of the time with only the other hand – like #6 and #8 in Hanasu no Kata. Practicing this with only one hand makes you move your body thru the right arc or you lose it. Don’t cheat by learning shihonage with the illusion of control afforded by using both hands.If it goes bad toward the beginning, try

Called sokumen irimi in aikikai, or perhaps parting wild horse’s mane or slanted flying or single whip in Chinese (i.e. taichi) terminology, gyakugamae is one of the three fundamental forms of atemi taught early in Tomiki aikido. Here are a handful of hints I try to keep in mind in my practice. If you do this technique as a strike, you may or may not do enough damage to end the fight but your hand will recoil off his face and you’ll have to find him again to push him down. This is what you see in the stick version of gyakugamaeate in goshinjitsu in judo – a strike, then reacquire the face, lay the hand on, and throw. Instead of striking and recoiling, lay your hand on him and push instead of hitting. Drape a bent wrist around the bridge of his nose like a pair of sunglasses and push.
Over the past 23 or so years I have studied taekwando, karate, judo, aikido, hapkido, and jujitsu and I can honestly say that of the martial arts I have experienced, aikido appears to me to be the best self defense there is. The following are a handful of aspects of aikido that I think make it particularly suitable for self-protection purposes.Ukemi – the art of falling safely – particularly the simple side fall and the forward roll. Proper reflexive falling skills will likely save you from many more hazards during your lifetime than any other martial arts technique or skill. Check here for a collection of good articles on proper falling.Evasion and the aiki brush-off – the ability to efficiently get out of the way of an incoming force and push the opponent off of you or push yoursel

Asian automakers probably got a bigger sales boost than their U.S. rivals from vehicles introduced at the annual New York auto show.
New models from Asia included Nissan’s latest Maxima, and the Fit small car and Acura TSX sports sedan from Honda. South Korea’s Hyundai Motor Co. showed a two-door version of its Genesis premium car, while Toyota Motor Corp. had a coupe that may be added to its youth-oriented Scion brand.
Models from Kia Motors, Mazda and Subaru also drew raves. The new-model count at the show mirrors the rising fortunes of the Asians in the Northeast, as well as the total U.S. market. Asian companies accounted for 10 of the 20 vehicles making their global or North American debuts, compared with two from U.S. automakers, according to the show’s organize
A couple of days ago, John asked about potential applications for the last movement (yoko o mawashi) in our first exercise (Tegatana no kata). Following are a handful of applications or things that this last movement teaches - but not before a disclaimer. I consider this exercise to be very general-purpose. This movement, or something similar could occur in many techniques.As John pointed out, all the steps in this kata are very small, conservative motions, so, in contrast, this large, lunging motion teaches us what a large recovery is involved with a large stepYou may also consider this as a withdrawing evasion (like a retreating tenkanashi) getting the hands up on the centerline. You may not step that deep, but in essence yoko o mawashi is a specific type of aiki brush-off.You may also i
I have previously published a list of 100 terrific things to try when practicing our first footwork exercise, Tegatana no Kata. I have also published some video (I know it’s not very good video) of the exercise here and here. Following is some elaboration on a handful of helpful hints that we have been working on most recently. .You want to be weight-bearing on the balls of the feet. Specifically the balls of the two most medial toes of each foot (the big toe and the second toe). The heel and the outside of the foot is slightly brushing the ground and helping you to balance on the two long, strong levers on the medial side of the foot. If you try weightbearing on the outside of the foot you will lose power and you will notice a tendency to roll the ankle outward, which is practically the
Consider the similarities between aigamaeate and aikinage (known in aikikai as iriminage). They are really the same technique - or perhaps you could say that aigamaeate is a form of iriminage. Here is a handful of helpful hints - some of the things I work with my students on.Often in practice, aigamaeate is done as a more direct entry and abrupt atemi, whereas aikinage seems more flowing and roundabout, but either technique can be done either way. Try aigamaeate from a backing-around situation when uke interrupts your tenkan and tries to turn back in on you.Because aigamaeate and aikinage are about the same thing, all the helpful handful for aikinage apply to aigamaeate too. Where there two techniques really diverge is in the relative height of tori as compared to uke. A taller tori wi
One of the characteristic things about aikido is the practice of working with techniques in which both partners are kneeling (suwariwaza) or with the defender kneeling and the attacker standing (hammi handachi). This makes movement more difficult and offers very direct examples of various principles with generally low-amplitude falls. It also makes your hips and legs stronger and more flexible. This handful of helpful hints is about the practice of suwariwaza as a whole rather than being about one particular technique. Watch Doshu in the above video to understand the awesome potential for kneeling movement (starting at about 2 minutes). You usually think of kneeling as being less mobile, but this is a remarkable example of mobility and flow. This is also a good demo of suwari.To get better
Sharp Lily shares her favorite shopping service, which I've since signed up for and am loving. Billy Idol finger puppet. Total genius. Totes from vintage fabric samples. Love these, and especially her fabric combos. via bluelines: completely adorable plastic rings. Ok, that's not much, but I'm procrastinating here, and there are a million things to be done. So...I'm off!
Yesterday was a handful. Took the SAT I at tutor, then went to the nature center to do research as usual with Matt. Then went shopping with madre. I got a See by Chloe blouse with super puffy sleeves. Can't find a picture online. Then had a dinner appointment with my parents at this amazing but low profile Japanese restaurant that was packed with.. Japanese people. Hah. From the outside it looks really weird but the food was really good. The dinner was even better because my sister wasn't there. Haha. She was at Knott's with her weird friends. Anyways. I just woke up, took a shower, and dressed. Peace.
Barely ate much yesterday, I drank mainly fluids and literally a handful of dried oats. I weighed myself this morning and I’m about 0.2Kgs to 43Kgs in a span of 2 days. Apart from hypertension, palpitations can be due to high level of adrenaline (which is due to stress and anxiety) and even [...]
