How do most Judo schools practice throws? How many times do you actually get thrown?

Question

I'm sure there is variation from school to school. I know some schools do fitting the throw 5 times and throw on the fifth throw. Sometimes it is go work on the throw and throw everytime.

Do Judo schools have any type of thought on how many times the actual throwing should be done. I have to say it is not fun when you are working with someone new and he is throwing you over and over again to learn a move. Especially when the new person can't get it right.

What are the norms at most schools?

Answer 1

The norm would be to practice everything as much as posible regardless of whether you are doing it with an experienced Uke or a beginer. We have to learn from and help teach help everyone that trains with us, so we can all improve.
Judo like all Martial arts and in my oppinion more so. Can only get better with and needs to be practiced our whole life not just for a few years and that's it. Yes I agree with you though that some people take longer than others to get used to being thrown so they get really rigid and it makes it hard to practice on them. But as far as them throwing you, whether it is Uchi Mata, Tai Otoshi or Ipon seionegi the fact is you are getting thrown to the mat regardless of whether or not their technique is good. So I don't see the issue there. Jus help them by going over the steps of the throw with them. Show them the proper Kesushi (hands technique for the throw) as well as the foot movements. Then do a bunch of uchi komi's start off slowly by just doing the Kesushi (hands) first. Then add the feet. Throwing is only an end result of doing the other 2 things properly. If you have good strong hand techniques added to your hip when you turn in, your Uki should just go over with little effort.
I have been training on and off since I was 4 and I still practice Osoto Gari, breakfalls and basic holddowns. And those are the things beginers learn. Just be humble in your training and never stop learning.

Answer 2

Although I am no longer a Judo practitioner in any respect, and I defer completely to those who find themselves Judo pupils, you're asking the age historic query of all new pupils - "how lengthy does it take to........" The reality is, it'll take so long as it takes :) No-you could particularly supply you an reply as every person is exclusive. Everyone learns at another speed, in another means, and outside distractions can sluggish down growth, whilst interior stimuli can pace it up. All that you'll be able to, and must, do as a brand new scholar is pay attention for your teachers, teach earnestly whilst in school, train concientiously whilst you're capable to, converse actually together with your teachers, and take one step, one system, and sooner or later at a time. You may have nice days, ordinary days, and deficient days....however that's side of the travel. Don't check out to hurry it, do not attempt to placed synthetic time tables on it, do not attempt to examine your self to anybody else. Just benefit from the travel!! You've additionally discovered a useful lesson. No topic how convenient matters are whilst training with a inclined companion, matters turn out to be 1000 occasions extra intricate whilst handling an unwilling opponent :) Good good fortune to you Ken C ninth Dan HapMoosaKi-Do eighth Dan TaeKwon-Do seventh Dan YongChul-Do

Answer 3

When I was practicing Judo we alternated with your partner doing the throws several times each. Of course we did this in every class, most of the time you needed more than one class to master certain move. Then of course we did randori. We were always encourage to try to use the new techniques we learn in randori.

Answer 4

Dunno if I'm qualified to answer your question since i don't practice Judo. But in our Aikido training, beginners are usually paired with mid level practitioners since mid level training focuses on ukime more. In a way it's hitting two birds with one stone, the beginner gets to practice his throw all he wants and the mid level practitioner gets to train on his breakfall skills and builds up stamina from the continous repetition of falls. Same rule applies between mid level and high level Aikidokas. And it's kind of an unwritten rule in our dojo that a higher level practitioner should never refuse to act as an uke(practice dummy) to a lower level practitioner as a sign of humility and to set an example for all lower levels. As for him not getting it right the first time, we usually set a time duration for learning one technique, usually a month(actually, it's one Nage waza or throwing technique and one Katame waza or floor pinning technique) and since we train 6 days a week, there's no need to cram it all in just one session. And if he still doesn't get it right, he'll still be able to train on it after the lessons during randori sessions, plus the lessons are usually reviewed after six months before promotion to the next level. The point of which is that if he doesn't master that technique, he won't advance up the ranks. If he takes the exam and fails, he needs to retrain for another 6 months before he can retake the exam, so the motivation to learn is great, either that or he doesn't take the exam til he has mastered it, either way, he will master it :-)
