Choosing the right platform for a judo club's online presence is crucial for its growth and community engagement. While Facebook is a popular and versatile social network, Judo Connect offers specific advantages tailored to the needs and aspirations of judo clubs. Here are three main reasons why Judo Connect is a better choice for a judo club compared to using Facebook as their primary social network:

Ukemi

Good day to you all! Starting next Thursday 25th of July. We have Ukemi classes (learning how to fall safely). These classes will be every Thursday evening 6pm till 6.45pm, classes will be £3 per session.

Classes will be taken by experienced instructors with many years of Judo and other martial arts experience, who have experience in learning how to fall safely.

Classes are open to older people, disabled people, people with disabilities and those who want to learn how to fall safely, as it is a life saving skill to have!

Would be best to wear loose clothing, long sleeves and sports wear.

As we build a more complete history of St. Albans Judo Club from 1950 to today, it’s our first 25 years that are least documented - not surprising with the passage of time. We do have these great photos from the Club Championships in 1967 though!

The height of this Dan grade’s ukemi is impressive, especially given the mats were packed with straw at the time! We’d love to track down any judoka who remember those early years…🥋 #JudoFamily #judoclub #judo #sajudo

Ukemi

Everyone trips or falls occasionally, but our flexibility and reactions decrease as we age. We’re more likely to sustain injuries and lose confidence in living an active life.

In partnership with Cobbs Cafe (#cobbsdunfermline) and Dunfermline Rotary Club (#dunfermlinerotary), we are offering the first 12 participants free access to a new 8-week Safe Falling-Safe Standing pilot project. Based on the Finding Your Feet programme, backed by British and Scottish governing bodies, the content is rooted in safe ukemi practised in every judo club.

We are part of a worldwide research group working w

!!! Friday Favourite !!!

Today Eloise has chosen her favourite technique, which is:

Mae Mawari Ukemi (Forward Rolling Breakfall)

1, Tuck you chin in.
2, Take a step forward an transition your body weight on to the advancing leg.
3, Lower the arm on the same side advancing leg with your palm facing the leg.
4, Lower yourself along the arm that has been lowered following the arm to the shoulder
5, Continue the roll with a little push from your legs, ensuring your roll is across your shoulders.
6, Finish with your other hand breaking your fall by hitting a flat palm to the mat near your hip

!! Technique Tuesday !!

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

Thank you to the amazing Koka Kids Junior Judo Magazine for writing a great guide: https://www.

Said goodbye to Phil today

During the eulogy talking about being a forklift and lorry driver. I smiled at a memory of Phil telling me he fell out of the back lorry, he went straight into Mae Ukemi (forward breakfall) got up an brushed himself off.
Then looked around to see if anyone was watching, secretly hoping....they would have been impressed 🥋🙂

#judokaforever Hereford Judo Club

A fantastic return to the club tonight. Both sessions well attended especially considering it’s still the Easter holidays. Ellie Sensei took a great junior session whilst I organised a senior class who were very receptive even though one armed demonstrations aren’t the best!
Well done everyone. #EllieSensei #SankaikuniJudo #britishjudo #JudoKnight #Fridayjudo #judofun #funwhilstlearning #turnovers #newaza #randori #ukemi #nagekomi #UchiKomi #judo4all #juniorjudo

Busy night at our Fighting Fit session last night - An excellent turn out for a holiday week, with 22 on the mat all working hard & getting extremely sweaty!

Ukemi & Ashi-waza practice to start, then fitness circuits, 8x 3-min transitional Randori bouts & we even had time for a game before the youngsters went off. To finish off, the adults carried on for a bit more Randori & technical practice.

Our next session is on April 22nd 6:45pm-7:45pm/8:15pm open for all ages & visitors welcome (minimum grade requirements & u8s by invitation only)

Thank you ebjijudo for hosting our second daiheigen_judo promotional shiai and ukemi clinic.

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.

This week the juniors session was missing a numbers of players due to school holidays however our diehards started their session with a warmup followed by stretching and breakfalls (Ukemi). Then they had a go at cartwheels, some good some needing a bit more practice. The technical part of the training focused on Osoto othoshi paying attention to hand placement on the jacket and also to foot placement. After this the juniors moved on to Newaza work concentrating on Osaekomi waza (hold downs or pinning) before finishing with a game of cat and mouse then dodgeball as a form of warming down.

We're looking forward to welcoming you all back this week after over a year off!

The coaches got together for a trial session this week, working out the details and our head coach Mark, put together a little video outlining our safety protocols for those coming back on the mat. https://youtu.be/bfKvYkib1...

We are running junior and senior sessions on Mondays and Thursdays. As restrictions on contact are still in place we will be focusing on movement drills, ukemi and uchi komi as well as general fitness plus some games for the kids.
