With today's Technique, we will be taking a step back, and remembering how we fall safely. Breakfalls (Ukemi)
There are several breakfalls (backwards, sideward, forward, and rolling). All share a few key points:
1, While practising lower yourself into the breakfall (no jumping into them to start with)
2, Protect your head, In most breakfalls your head should never touch the ground, keep your chin tucked in.
3, Round your back, a straight back will result in a harder fall

You can ask any one of our members why they love judo, and you will have different responses.
Judo is an adaptable sport, where the only competition is you:
“It is not important to be better than someone else, but to be better than you were yesterday.”
― Jigoro Kano (Founder of Judo)
We are entering a new school term next Sunday, but we are not limited to juniors we have a great group of seniors ranging from 17-60+ years old.
Come and give us a try (the first session is on us).

O Uchi Gari (major inner sweep)
1, Break your opponent’s balance to his left back corner, causing his stance to open wide and his weight to shift mostly onto his left heel.
2, Step in deeply with your right leg
3, Use it to reap his left leg from the inside with a large motion to your right to throw him backwards.

O Uchi can be a great throw to setup a toke waza, or as an ippon generating throw. How do you like your O Uchi?
