Kuzushi is one of the most crucial principles in grappling (and in fighting). This principle was popularized by Jigoro Kano, the founder of Kodokan Judo. Kano was a firm believer that if you want to effectively attack your opponent with techniques, you must first attack their stance. The idea of Kuzushi is to first break your opponent's body positioning, and then attack within this short window of vulnerability before they can recover a strong defensive positioning. In this episode, I discuss what a broken stance looks like, how to attack someone's stance from different positions, and how you can better train this skill. Please leave a review, subscribe, like, share, and comment if you can.

In deze nieuwe podcast heeft André op het CIOS in Haarlem een gesprek met de voorzitter van de nieuwe judotak van de IMAF, Kodokan Judo Nederland, Joop Pauel.André bespreekt met Joop de reden van oprichting van deze nieuwe judo organisatie naast de JBN, de doelen, de organisatiestructuur, samenwerkingen o.a met de NVJJL en de toekomst van de organisatie.website IMAFFacebookpagina IMAF Kodokan Judo NederlandAlle links naar onderwerpen besproken in de laatste podcast, maar ook belangrijke uit eerdere afleveringen vind je op:https://linktr.ee/HajimeJudoPodcastHajime Judo Podcasthttp://hajimejudopodcast.nlhttps://www.facebook.com/HajimePodcasthttps://www.instagram.com/hajimepodcast

“I teach Kodokan judo as a way of life.” — Jigoro Kano “Even though he was drunker than usual, Saigo came to the driver's aid. The burly sailors laughed out loud: “Scram, midget!” Much to their great surprise and considerable pain, in a flash, the pocket Hercules subsequently hurled each of them into the river.” — John Stevens “I have not been able to transmit my ideals to many students, and there are unfortunately few instructors who can impart proper Kodokan values.” — Jigoro Kano “The teaching of one virtuous person can influence many.” — Jigoro Kano In the second half of the 1800s, after the United States made Japan an offer it couldn't refuse, Japan experienced a period of crisis and extremely fast modernization. Swept by efforts to copy everything that made the West powerful, Japan turned its back on much of its traditional culture. Martial arts were considered anachronistic and irrelevant, and looked well on their way to disappear into the dustbin of history—much in the same way as they had done in other parts of the world. In 1882, a small, nerdy man named Jigoro Kano made his stand to reverse this process. Kano was only 22 years old, and had only little over 5 years of martial arts practice. But what 22-year old Kano started in some spare rooms in a Buddhist temple was going to affect the lives of millions of people.This story is about martial arts, but is also about much more. This story is about the dramatic transformations in Japanese history in the 1800s (and without understanding them, it's pretty much impossible to understand the role played by Japan in WWII.) It is a story about how one individual can radically impact millions. It's about how cultural traditions that are seemingly anachronistic can be reinvented to provide value in a modern context. It's a story about Taoist philosophy, Olympic Games and U.S. presidents, pro-wrestling and helping society, the tension between globalization and nationalism, the role that physical education can play in shaping a person's character, and a bunch of other things that have only marginally to do with martial arts per se. Among other things, in this episode: Shiro Saigo, Kano's pocket-sized enforcerBlood oathsHistory's first black beltsThe four ‘heavenly lords' of the Kodokan Judo gaining a reputation through challenge fightsLeglocksShiro Saigo and his NWA attitudeAkira Kurosawa moviesKano clashing with nationalism and militarismTheodore RooseveltMitsuyo MaedaThe origins of pro-wrestling The Olympic GamesSo, with this in mind, let's get rolling.

Roy Dean is an ambassador for the art of jiu-jitsu.  A lifetime martial artist, he also holds black belts in Kodokan Judo, Aikikai Aikido, and Japanese Jiujitsu.  Roy recently received his 4th degree in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu from the legendary Roy Harris. Roy is highly regarded Brazilian Jiujitsu Instructor, and the creative mind behind many utterly unique online repositories of instructional content, beautifully produced and subtly infused with Roy's Zen mindset. Roy has also published two seminal jiu-jitsu books: “The Martial Apprentice” and most recently, “Becoming the Black Belt”. We discuss Roy's lifetime journey in the martial arts, his philosophies in life, training as an older black belt, yoga, psychedelics, his passion projects and what is next for him. https://www.roydean.tv/ Becoming the Black Belt: One Man's Path in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Roy Dean is an expert in the art of jiu jitsu, and his inspiring videos on YouTube have educated people around the world. Dean's martial education is well rounded, holding first degree black belts in Kodokan Judo and Aikikai Aikido, and third degree black belts in Japanese and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Professor Dean has written about his adventures in two books,"The Martial Apprentice" and "Becoming the Black Belt."

Roy Dean, is an ambassador for the art of jiu-jitsu, exposes others to this lifelong discipline. Author of "The Martial Apprentice" and "Becoming the Black Belt". His martial education is well rounded, holding first-degree black belts in Kodokan Judo and Aikikai Aikido, and third-degree black belts in Japanese and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He continues to be a student of Roy Harris and is recognized as a black belt by the International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation, with affiliated academies around the world.

Today's interview is with the incredible Roy Dean. Professor Roy Dean is a third-degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, under Professor Roy Harris, and Seibukan Jujutsu, with additional black belts in Kodokan Judo and Aikikai Aikido. He is the author of two books Becoming the Black Belt A BJJ Journey and The Martial Apprentice: A Japanese Jujutsu Adventure, which are both must-reads for any martial artist. Mr. Roy Dean started his martial arts journey as a 16-year-old boy living in Japan as a foreign exchange student. He was told that he needed to pick up a traditional Japanese hobby and decided to pursue Kodokan Judo. From there he fell in love with multiple martial arts. Ultimately he found BJJ in his early 20's and was hooked. Mr. Roy Dean is probably most known for his high-quality video content on his YouTube page and his RoyDean.tv. He looks to be a storyteller with all of his content instead of just being a talking head with technique. His belt demonstration starts off with a beautiful symphony of technical knowledge into rounds of sparing starting with lower belts as the tester slowly works up the ladder of difficulty until they finally reach Mr. Dean himself for their final test before earning their new rank. Even with what fame and acknowledgment he has earned around the world, Mr. Dean is extremely humble and wants to give as much as he can back to the Jiu-Jitsu community as possible. His wealth of knowledge, humility, personality, and content search for improvement flows from him with every question answered. We can not thank Mr. Roy Dean enough for giving us his time and the opportunity to pick his brain about a variety of topics. We hope you gain as much out of this interview as we did.

Matt Larsen is the most successful hand-to-hand combat trainer and program developer in history, responsible for creating the U.S. Army program that continues to train soldiers today in what it takes to face combat from the ground up. His passion for mastering the martial arts started three decades ago in Japan and led him early in his career to compete against fighters across the Far East, from boxing in the U. S. Marine Corps, fighting in the All Japan Karate Championship and Kodokan Judo in Tokyo and Okinawa, Muay Thai in Bangkok, Kali in the Philippines and Taekwondo in Korea. Training with the best names in the arts, Larsen has earned black belts in several martial arts, including Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Judo and Shotokan Karate. Larsen started his military career in the U.S. Marine Corps before moving over to the Army and joining the ranks of the elite 75th Ranger Regiment. While there, he was called upon to design a hand-to-hand combat program which was quickly adopted by the entire Regiment. Larsen spent more than a decade in Army Special Operations and during that time became the subject matter expert on hand-to-hand combat. Regarded as the father of the Modern Army Combatives Program, known as MACP, Larsen overhauled the Army’s hand-to-hand combat doctrine by re-writing the Combatives field manual – FM 3-25.150 – in 2002, and updated the manual in 2009, the most recent edition. He founded the Army Combatives School and served as both its commandant and the director of the Modern Army Combatives Program 2000 until 2010. In 2016 he was appointed as Director of Combatives at West Point Academy. Matt is the author of “Modern Army Combatives: Battle-Proven Techniques and Training Methods” and he co-authored “Sniper: American Single-Shot Warriors in Iraq and Afghanistan."

Dr. Jose Tufy Cairus, a historian and professor at Brazil's Federal Institute of Santa Catarina, is one of the few scholars studying Brazilian jiu-jitsu jistory. Cairus' father was involved with Brazilian judo for decades, and the author himself trained with Carlson Gracie -- something you'll hear all about in this interview! You'll learn what he things the biggest misconceptions about BJJ history are; who the first Japanese person to teach Kodokan Judo in Brazil was; who the first woman to train was; what the differences were between Jigoro Kano's judo at the time and the jiu-jitsu taught by Mitsuyo Maeda (who wasn't the only one using the "Count Koma" name); the critical role of Donato Pires dos Reis and Jacinto Ferro; the importance of Brazil's Navy in promoting jiu-jitsu, and how Maeda taught to the Brazilian Navy in the Amazon, including Luis Soto; Geo Omori and Takeo Yano's contributions to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu; how Brazil's history, including the transition from the monarchy to the Old Republic to the dictatorship to the authoritarian estado novo affected jiu-jitsu -- especially a harrowing story about when Robson and Carlson were arrested by the Brazilian military government, and how they got out with the help of Helio Gracie & Helio Vigio.

This episode, Wade continues his interview with Kris Wilder. This is the second half of a two-part interview.   When Wade Pitts first began teaching as a self-defense instructor, one of the first books he read on the topic was The Little Black Book of Violence: What Every Young Man Needs to Know About Fighting, by Kris Wilder and Lawrence Kane. The premise of the book was very clear: always avoid an altercation if possible; avoid violence. Today, he interviews one of the authors of the book, Kris Wilder.   Kris has a wide range of knowledge on martial arts. He began training back in 1976 and holds black belts in three martial art styles: Tae Kwon Do, Kodokan Judo, and Goju-Ryu Karate. He's also an award-winning author and co-author of over 20 books on martial arts, self-defense, and several self-help books; such as How to Win a Fight: A Guide to Avoiding and Surviving Violence and The Way of Sanchin Kata — both of which have helped earn him international recognition in the martial arts world. He's also the owner and Head Instructor at West Seattle Karate Academy.   In this episode, Wade and Kris go even deeper and really dive into Kris' unique perspective on topics such as becoming more present in your day-to-day life, martial arts as they currently stand, where he sees martial arts headed in the future, what he hopes his legacy will be, and many other tips and tools to help you make better choices and live a healthier, happier lifestyle.   Key Takeaways: [1:13] Continuing the conversation on modern religious studies. [2:57] The difference between a fable and a parable, and some of Kris' views on religion. [6:23] Good vs. evil from The Little Black Book of Violence. [10:58] Kris' take-action-now tips and tools to become more present, make good choices, and lead a healthy and happy lifestyle on a day-to-day basis. [20:27] About the foster kids in Kris' class and about the “non-traditional” way he teaches. [22:45] What Kris wants to achieve from his art/what he hopes he legacy he leaves behind is. [23:15] The one question Kris asks himself every day. [24:11] Where does Kris see martial arts headed and his views of them today? [32:33] Final words Kris would like to impart to listeners in regards to martial arts and life. [38:00] Where to find out more about what Kris is up to.   Kris Wilder's Links: KrisWilder.com WestSeattleKarate.com The Back Channel with Kris Wilder (Podcast) Kris' Books Kris' Social Media: Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter.   Mentioned in this Episode: Planet Money Podcast KrisWilder.com

Today, he interviews one of the authors of the book, Kris Wilder.   Kris has a wide range of knowledge on martial arts. He began training back in 1976 and holds black belts in three martial art styles: Tae Kwon Do, Kodokan Judo, and Goju-Ryu Karate. He's also an award-winning author and co-author of over 20 books on martial arts, self-defense, and several self-help books; such as How to Win a Fight: A Guide to Avoiding and Surviving Violence and The Way of Sanchin Kata — both of which have helped earn him international recognition in the martial arts world. He's also the owner and Head Instructor at West Seattle Karate Academy.   From politics to religion to martial arts — Kris has had many fascinating experiences throughout his life.
