SHERBORNE BOYS SCHOOL TRAINING SCHEDULE:


You are well into your holidays by now, you need to be running/swimming, doing things to keep your fitness up!! Skill training requires you to be fit enough to work ALL the way through a session! If you're lieing about now it'll take a long time to get up to speed next term! We need you to be working-have a lovely holiday boys, look forward to seeing you all in Sept.

Bit of homework for you. You should at some point familiarise yourselves with the rules of Judo competition in their fullness. Download this little lot and look through it:  IJF's rules is only a .doc but is quite long!


Well done boys!!Even bigger news!


Sherborne Judo Squad (six members) went to the School Boy Nationals and came back with One Gold & Two Silvers, medals,two forth places and a sixth!(6/3/10)


A truely fantastic result boys. We sincerely hope by next year with lots more hard training we will be bringing back many more medals! Keep it up.


See you next term.

YOU MUST get your conditioning book from Mr. Miles AND DO IT!!!! Fitness, NEEDS to be worked on! We have competitions coming up next term - and you are NOT fit enough!! Judo sessions are for skill training not fitness. If you're not fit we can't develop your skills fully!


Before you get you book or after it - running, skipping, cycling, swimming are all easy ways to improve your fitness. Try to change your heart rate while training, max (180bpm) to slow (110bpm)  up, down and up again, as often as you can stand.


A useful link to general throws from youtube. It's often very difficult to "see" what is going on. Try and look hard, watch for details, hands, feet, body twists... If the thrower hasn't got good control of the opponent's outer arm they often put down and use it to stop a ten point throw (Ippon - in Japanese). You should try not to let this happen in your judo! Take note of the continual attacks. If the first one doesn't succed they keep on trying. Questions either talk to me at the training sessions or use the email links...


Here are some of the famous champions of recent times. A word of caution, don't copy the head dives. They are also illgal now, for obvious reasons. There is also a couple of links on the images page. I'll do more as I get time. Enjoy.
