Gymnastics Skills for Judo:
​

This workshop approaches judo techniques from a different angle.

​Learning how to incorporate basic gymnastics principles into traditional judo practice and utilising them in competition.

The class covers 4 basic gymnastics principles:

Mobility - hip and shoulder flexibility
Being supple in these areas reduces the chance of injury and can open up more technique opportunities in both groundwork and standing.

Strength - core, hip and shoulder strength
Enhances power production and acceleration when performing skills. Can make or break a submission defence.

Stability - understanding balance and body control
Learning body control allows fight the judoka to remain tight and maintain a neutral posture during randori. This also gives the judoka the ability to quickly adapt to situations in a fight.

Proprioception - the ability to know where one's body is in the air
Learning to understand and grow proprioception skills are useful in teaching judoka where their body is in the air during a throw and how to manipulate their positioning during flight to avoid a score being given in contest.
