Must Read For All Judoka, Judo Parents and Coaches Sent Friday, January 24, 2014 Greetings: This year the International Judo Federation has made some more changes to the rules. More specifically to the whole game of sport Judo and how it is played. The changes in Kumikata and gripping are significant and have really placed a premium on gripping. ****** PLEASE UNDERSTAND THIS ****** Gripping and Grip Fighting is MORE important than ever right now. For those that thing that grip fighting has been reduced or minimized, nothing can be further from the truth. New changes in the rules have created the following things: 1. YOU must place your hands in the correct position first 2. You must know where to place your hands 3. You must understand that secrets of spacing, timing and distance when it comes to judo 4. Because you cannot grab the legs and essentially have very few options to STOP a throw once it is started, you PRIMARY DEFENSE IS GRIPPING. 5. You must be deliberate, direct and DISCIPLINED in your grip fighting. 6. You must understand the rules of human movement as they pertain to Judo and this new game which is attack rich. ============= Underground Grip Fighting Secrets 3.0 Coming Soon ============= I am in the process of putting the finishing touches on Underground Grip Fighting Secrets 3.0 and I am making sure that the product addresses all persons who train in a gi. That goes for those who practice, Judo, Chidoaba, BJJ, Kurash, Sambo, Aba Gures and Celtic Wrestling. I have been studying tremendously and vigorously to get not only an understanding of the 2014 rules for judo but to get a broader and better understanding of the full culture of jacket wrestling and how it has changed over the years and the impact that certain cultures have had on certain facets of the aforementioned sports. Why? Because the desired culture affects the rules, and the rules are put in place to direct the players, coaches, and to uphold the spirit and core tenets of the sport. This is important when you are strategizing, theorizing and coming up with tactical maneuvers for sporting excellence. I also want to provide you with the best in class for development and coaching. I want to give you what it is that you need while you are competing and also give you what it is that you need in order to be a well rounded coach when you are finished competing. So please bear with me as I take the next couple of days and weeks to finalize Underground Grip Fighting 3.0. ================= Lastly ================= If you have any comments, questions or feedback concerning the new product before its released please let me know. Also, check out this video that I gave to a client who I am helping with some new tactical developments. --> youtube/watch?v=i7pu_tX7qCg Take care, Rhadi Ferguson, PhD GripFighting P.S.
