It s hard to believe that after years of dreaming and months of planning, the club is up and running. Thanks to everyone who has been a part of it! I hope you and your family will love Judo as much as we do. We are already three weeks into term 4 for Our kid s classes are coming along nicely with the -10 s class focusing on how to fall safely and how to tumble, as well as learning basic throws like Tai otoshi and Osoto otoshi. The -16 s class is focusing on Osoto gari and Koshi guruma, while the senior Judo class has been focusing on an Ippon seoi nage in a circular motion. Lastly, the BJJ guys and girls have been looking at how to pass their opponents guard and get into a good side control position.

2 How to tie the Judo belt In Japanese the Judo belt is called an obi. Tying the belt can be a tricky skill to master, so here are some easy instructions on the left. If you need help just ask one of our coaches Judo Gradings: All of the Junior students will be graded at the end of each term in line with the Judo Federation of Australia s (JFA) grading syllabus. Grading s will consist of the students performing a number of techniques including their breakfalls, throws and hold downs. Head to our website for more info on gradings. Coach Profile: Liam Tredgold Liam has been doing Judo for a number of years now and with his superior technique and work ethic, achieved his brown belt very quickly.

3 Judo written in Japanese Profile: Jigoro Kano Inventor of Judo Let me introduce you to Jigoro Kano, the Japanese professor who invented my favorite sport in As a teenager, Kano was looking for someone to teach him the art of jujitsu. Kano was extremely small in stature, and was very sickly, frequently spending time in hospital. No one would take him on as a personal student, stating that he was too small and physically too weak to implement any techniques. Finally, Jujitsu master Yanosuke Fukuda accepted Kano as his student. Within just a few years, Kano soared ahead of his class and became very proficient in the technical aspects of Jujutsu. Kano, by then a biomechanics professor, noticed that many of the techniques being taught were strength based, as opposed to technique based. Using his knowledge of biomechanics, he began critically analyzing jujitsu techniques, and began removing the strength- based techniques and replacing them with techniques that required little strength to implement. He soon wrote a formalized syllabus consisting of forty throwing techniques and began teaching what was known as Kano Jujitsu. The popularity of Kano s newly formed art revolutionized martial arts in Japan. Within a matter of decades, the sport had spread around the globe and was known as Judo meaning the gentle way. It was first introduced as a demonstration event at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, with Japan winning three of the four weight divisions. It became an official sport at the Olympic Games with men being added at the 1972 Munich Olympic Games. Female competition was introduced in 1988, and officially added as a core sport at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics.

4 Beyond Grappling Newsletter Brazilian Jiu jitsu Inventor of BJJ = Helio Gracie BJJ promotes the concept that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger assailant by using leverage and proper technique. Like Judo, Brazilian Jiujitsu (BJJ) is a sport that focuses on using your opponents strength and force against them using leverage, positioning and technique. BJJ s origins stem from the Japanese Kodokan Judo (invented by our friend Jigoro Kano) which was introduced to the Gracie family by a Japanese migrant in the early 1900 s in Brazil. Since then, the sport has evolved into what we have today. BJJ will help you get fit, strong, improve your core strength, have fun, use your brain and learn self defence all at the same time! It is one of the fastest growing sports and it is pretty easy to know why. it is fun, a mental chess match and a great way to exercise. Our BJJ class times are: Monday and Thursday 730pm-830 Saturday 930am-1030am - sodales.
