a pleasant surprise

Sorry I was tired...

Thanks everyone. The site has been online for 15 years now, so I know it has helped a lot of people. I have seen people who started judo because of the site become instructors and eventually contribute articles to the site. I'm still working on it and will get it right eventually.

I'm a little late to jump on the bandwagons but here goes. When kicking around the internet while sitting on my couch I came across the wealth of the information provided by Judoinfo.org. It was this site that made me go back to the dojo after 15 or so years... I haven't felt better in years. Thank you for relighting the fire!

I'm sure you meant to say JudoInfo.com.

Jumping on both bandwagons. Judoinfo rules and I literally would not have taken up judo if not for the advice in the Beginning Judo forum. The book is awesome too. Not only did it help me with my technique, but taking a look over it got two of my friends into judo as well.

Thanks. I'm glad you are enjoying it and find it useful. The way major publishers work they only give you so many pages, so an author has to choose what to include. Once I decided to try and include every throw that didn't leave much room. But fortunately there are many books on groundwork available now, and for judo books this one was revolutionary because of the modern color photography. Just getting judo books into the major bookstores was a hurdle until my book came out. Anyways, thanks for the feedback.

It's a beautiful book and a worthy addition to my library. Thank you for your contributions to the art. I will have to check out the website too.

It's a great site. Love the redesign.

I have to jump on the bandwagon as well. Your site has been invaluable to both myself and my classmates who have just recently started judo. Thank you for all the help, sir.

Glad to be of service. I hope you find my web site helpful as well at JudoInfo.com -- the oldest and most popular judo site online.

So you're the good citizen behind that site. Thank you - from historical articles to gifs of nage-waza, it's a goldmine.

[JudoSensei]

Just wanted to say your Judo book was the first one I picked up and was a major help to my first week of Judo a few years back. Wouldn't have picked up nearly as fast.

It's an honor to have you on the board sir. I hope you don't mind, I requested the Judo and instructor tags in light of your status.


Thanks to Steve on the staff for getting the tags turned on so quickly.

So far i am enjoying it. I actually recognize alot of the throws, and the foot placement illustrations help also. There is a page of entry drills and he covers 3 methods for entry which is nice. As a striker i like throws to unbalance my opponent after crossing the gap and throwing a few hand or foot techniques. Alot of versions of the lapel choke, but no triangles and very little from the bottom position, but thats ok, thats why i cross train. All in all I think its excellent and will continue to use it as a reference manual.

Yes thats what i was going for, and not all throws or sweeps are from a clinch position. Actually sprawling drills really helps strikers versus a clinch game im my opinion. If you clinch you have by default played to the grapplers strength.

you use throws to unbalance people? Most of us use throws to throw them.

.. From a striking perspective the ability to clinch offensively is a very useful addition to your skillset, and stops you getting raped as fast by good grapplers. I am assuming this is kinda what you were goin for?
