From Russia with 2 on 1's

This week we'll work the russian back grip, and the 2 on 1 a little.

Both are 'unorthodox' grips that you cannot hold for long without an attack in the IJF, but are perfectly legal in other forms of grappling, namely Sambo...

Here's Harai MakiKomi, as easy one to set up from the Russian back grip:



And here's Yoko Wakare, or the 'Arm Throw' or 'Arm Spin' in Folkstyle:


This Wednesday we'll work on how to set up these grips and these throws, amongst others...

See you there!

Great First Night

Thanks for coming out!

We had a pretty solid attendance for our first night of the Fall and our first night in our new home, Room 331 of the Franklin Street Gym.

Thanks to everyone that was there early to help set up the mats, break them down afterwards etc.

With such a diverse and enthusiastic group, I can only hope you all stick with us on the very long road that is Judo!

See you Thursday and or Friday night at 7pm!

Additional Practice Time!

Professor Dr Alan Mills,
instructor of HPEX 121 (Judo)

has graciously volunteered to host another practice session for the VCU Judo Club!!!

He will be conducting a practice session every Friday night, beginning with the end of his own PE Class at about 6pm, and we will officially have our Judo Club practice beginning at
7pm
and going until
9pm.

That's every Friday from 7-9pm!

This brings the total training times to;

Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays all at 7-9pm.

Here's to a great Fall!

Summer Schedule

Summer 2008

instructional meetings; Wednesdays 7:00-9:00pm

'open mat'; Sundays 4:00-6:00pm

Please be advised! The open mat practice is intended for experienced judoka to pursue their own self directed practice or to find sparring partners. It's still assumed that typical etiquette and rules for Judo training/competition are observed unless otherwise agreed upon by those participating.

That being said: Please come on out and join us! Right now, Sunday practice is pretty small, so you'll have plenty of mat time all to yourself if that's what you want.

Thanks!

FALL STARTS AUGUST 23rd
