November 2015

It has been a very exciting last few weeks with the launch of Beyond Grappling Club!

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 2015. 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.

How to tie the Judo belt

Profile: Jigoro Kano Inventor of Judo

Let  me  introduce  you  to  Jigoro  Kano,  the  Japanese  professor  who  invented  my  favorite  sport  in  1882.  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.

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

Don’t forget to connect us on social

media. We update it quite regularly with

photos and videos from class, and it is a

great way to keep in touch.
