@@gshepherd6141 We resist and avoid being thrown. But we beginners, once we are being thrown, should not resist it by trying to twist out like Olympic athletes. We have to use our breakfalls, rolling smoothly across our backs. It gives our training partner a clean Ippon, and it is when we learn how not to be hurt when thrown.
@@GoDaveGo Respectfully understood, but sometimes the environment around you changes where it's not always safe to be thrown. Not to complicated things though, I do agree with techniques of reduction the friction of the throw to reduce the damage you take.
Great decision, my friend, you will not regret it. Judo is something you can do at almost any age and you will benefit physically and mentally (and maybe even spiritually) from regular training. Good luck on your new journey 🙂

I understand it feels strange at first for a boxer but the reason is that your stronger side needs to be closer to your partner / adversary as you need to get your grip on him and control / lead him. As a boxer you have a different perspective as you jab with your weaker side and throw your hard punch with momentum for which you need more space by turning your whole body. Hope this makes sense.
When I began boxing, I had a background of martial arts from when I was younger. My stance was naturally southpaw because of this. My jabs were so strong that they wondered why I wasn't boxing orthodox. I didn't either, I just did what felt right. I forced myself to box orthodox because of this. I can switch between both now. Martial arts still feels better with my right foot forward, but boxing feels better orthodox now.
Iv been doing judo for a week now and they haven’t touched on any of the basics, I’m glad we live in a time where this information can be found if you know here too look. I hope drilling the basics daily will help me to catch up to and exceed others who have been training for much longer.
@@dominiknowaczyk9633 if I may weigh in on your situation, it can be super rough on the body. (Almost 2 years experience now) sore back and sore legs most often. Smacked the side of my head real hard on the receiving end of an uchi mata once. Learn to relax and not be tense when thrown and try to tuck your chin to keep your head from doing a whiplash movement before landing and smacking against the mat. Easier said than done sometimes lol Pay attention to the mechanics of your throws. The finest details can create the biggest difference in a beautiful well executed (and controlled) throw or a scary tangled mess that can hurt you and your partner. Idk how sensei Shintaro feels about this, but I started to believe awhile back that falling properly is a big skill of its own. Like as your partner is refining a throw as they toss you around, you are simultaneously refining your falling technique. On a final note, efficiently learning judo can seem super boring sometimes (uchikomi) but the skills you gain are insanely handy when you start applying them. (Started BJJ recently, those guys had no idea what hit them til it was too late 🤣) good luck fam!
@@thejollyroger9281 ukemi seems to be a super big deal indeed. It actually saved my life a few months ago yo I'm not gonna be the one to disagree with you.
Thank you so much master, I am russian and 16 years old learning judo like 6 months and didn't knew such small things, now I know what I have to do, thanks again!
This is an absolutely fantastic video and much needed for my personal growth. I just began learning Judo six months ago at the age of 42 (43 now) and having exercises that I can use alone, at home, to help me learn faster is priceless. Thank you!
@@gibbsy-wd5nq Well, now I'm using a lot of the exercises found in this video. Prior to this I hadn't been given any exercises to do at home but had been doing Aikido (good for ukemi) for a year prior to beginning Judo. My kids are also in Judo and so I bought mats for home so we could practice and review together.
@@Andybaby I go a little easier than the younger students and mostly ignore the little stuff (bruises, sore muscles, friction burns, etc). But seeing people who suffer far worse injuries than myself and keep going serves as motivation to suck it up and carry on. Seeing people older than me and what they're still capable of also serves to motivate me to work through the bumps and bruises.
Wow, that's amazing! I'm about your age. I did some judo in college and train BJJ now. I can't imagine putting my body through Judo now, but I guess I'm not training BJJ in the same way as the 20 year olds are now either 😂 Good training! Oss
Wow. 10:00 There is a wealth of small details in the kuzushi for Osoto-gari. 1. His gaze direction (he watches 11 o'clock): 10:08 2. Contraction: The way he contract his limbs/body and put his weight in the counter-direction: 10:09 3. Expansion: Pulling partner off-balance sideways [the arm firmly 9 o'clock and towards belt. The lapel upwards] and a step in with bent knee and without planting his hail. 10:10
Talking from experience: Judo -> gentle way Kata -> basic form (learning) Randori -> free style (sparring) practice When you are learning, learn... don't try to teach... you are student. "No mind." When sensei is teaching, listen/focus/learn. When you learn, there is no "win". There is only learn. You get hurt (lose), you hurt others (lose), you don't learn (lose today (waste time) and tomorrow (didn't learn, do today again)) Learning is everyday, forever! Rank is nothing, a winner is prepared so there is no fight or injury. Don't focus on anything but here and now. (Yesterday is gone, tomorrow is not here yet).

Most comprehensive and understandable system on Judo I've watched. I did a semester of Judo in college years ago and loved it, unfortunately there are no Judo Dojos near me. Your videos enable me to learn and train from home, thank you!
This video helped me so much, I have been training judo for about 6 months now, and I had only 3 ippons in randori, but after working on the 6 principles, I got 3 throws off in 1 day of randori amazing!!!
I like that this video has lots of context rather than just showing each skill in isolation. It makes it easier to grasp the entire picture. Furthermore, the demonstrations you showed were very thoughtful and useful in explaining the details. Thank you!
This brings some fond memories when I was 19. It's weird that I can still remember some of the techniques of Judo, even when I haven't practiced it so long.
Fundamentals, by their very name "fundamental" are never for just beginners, they should be practiced daily and always reinforced. Many people forget the fundamentals because they're typically not fun or cool, but forget them and pay the price!
This is such a good video. Thank you! I just signed up for judo this month to add to my Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. So much additional depth in something not trained in depth the other art. Love it
I'm soon going to a judo competition and I want to make me and my family proud by giving them a medal. This really helped and it means a lot to me thank you! 🥰 Edit - I won the gold medal! ❤
I’ve been doing boxing and muay thai for 16 years now, and I’ve been wanting to learning Judo as I think it’s be a better combination with those styles than BJJ. Watching this video confirms my theory, the fact that the base posture and footwork is almost identical to boxing, pretty much indicates it’s the perfect combination.
@@edwardburroughs1489 I understand which is also a principle used in boxing a lot. Most people believe the "power hand" should go on the back, but I personally disagree. I'm right handed and fight south paw, I feel it better to have your dominant hand in front for a better jab (most important punch) and more controlled defense being able to parry easier. Also, there's tons of boxers out there who have a stance with their dominant hand forward ie Oscar De La Hoya, Miguel Cotto, Vasyli Lomachenko, etc...
@@Jandro1083a good fighter can fight dominant and southpaw, of course as a right handed person I'm more comfortable fighting traditional, but when fighting or sparring, it's easy to get turned around, so you should be able to effectively transition and at least defend and jab in non-dominant or southpaw/traditional stance.
Why didn't i have a coach like you, when i did judo?(( Brilliant instuctions as usual. Thank you! Btw What do you think about new IJF rules? In my opinion, judo is being degraded due to prohibition of techniques.
Good video. Even with posture, ALL stances have a strong base direction and a weak base direction. Get someone in a stance with posture. Place a bo staff across their big toes. The staff points in the direction of their 2 strong bases. Push or pull in those directions and you will see the resistance. Place a staff between their feet at a 90 degree angle to the first staff and it will point in the direction of their weakest bases. A 5 year old child can easily pull an adult in the direction of their weakest base even if the adult has good posture. Knowing this allows us to determine which throw and direction we can use. Knowing this we can understand how an opponent can resist a hip throw if we simply turn in 180 degrees. If he is facing 6 o'clock with right foot forward, we may need to turn in and face more toward 4:30 to get him leaning in and on his toes.
I started as an adult and been doing judo since right before Covid, as much as we have been allowed to. The obvious problems now are gripping and positioning. It is really hard to understand what you did wrong, but each time you get thrown you might realize something new. Still, pointers on gripping and positioning would be welcome! Thanks
You summarized the fundamental concepts of judo in just over 20 minutes, very good!! And your english is very clear too Please, keep on making videos like this, thank you 👏👏💪👏👏🥋
Thank you so much for this great presentation! My daughter and I started Judo together today and she loves everything about it. She’s only 5 but in 5 years from now, she’ll have more life experience and leadership skills that most kids her age. I just hope she sticks with it. Do you have any tips for keeping kids involved in martial arts? Keep up the great work and subscribe to this man’s channel. He’s keeping history alive for all of us to enjoy!
Thanks for your comment! Please have her enjoy judo under no pressure at all and have her make a lot of judo friends there so she will stick with that fun environment!
I've recently started training in judo about a month, but during randori, my ankle got injured (badly sprained) and it has been over 3 weeks, pain didn't really go away. But, I love judo and couldn't just stop training. I went back yesterday and it was worth the pain. Haha. I started reading about judo (the fundamentals/ techniques) without illustrations, so coming to videos like this are helpful. Thanks.
As someone who has just started judo (1 month), I can confirm that your tutorials are very important and vital for starting this sport. I really appreciate you and I hope you all the success.🙏
Thank you for making it transparant. I a. 47 years old and I will begin my first class soon. Especially kuzushi made a lot of sense why throws or sweeps work or not greetings from Holland
I think it’s for everybody. I’ve been around judo my whole life and the deeper understanding I get, the more sophisticated my understanding is to impart it so people can grasp and advance far more technically and comprehensively.
Your channel is amazing, Im orange belt , practicing since 2021, I love judo , but its so dificult , I want to have UCHIMATA as my tokui waza, have been practicing it since the end of 2022, its almost impossible to hit on handori against the more graduated colleagues, ive learned to use my hip on UCHIMATA ike two months ago , your UCHIMATA video was really helpful, but sometimes i get so frustrated, im a big guy, 97 kg, 1,78m , and I want to do judo for the rest of my life, not for competing, but as an activity that I love, but sometimes i get frutrated because the 17 year old brown belts destroy me hahahahahah
As a 42 year old adult, I was never taught ANY of this. We just proceeded through Dai Ikkyo. After I made my first belt rank, I became discouraged, because everyone else was a younger judoka who had dreams of competition and a very aggressive attitude that seemed counter to what I had believed Judo was to be. You seem like a good Sensei, the one that I wish I had thirty years ago.
I'm starting Judo soon (I'm 14) I'm very excited but also nervous as I've never done a martial art (I did karate for a while when I was 7) and this helped a lot,thank you
Been boxing for a year and a half. I will certainly take Judo since I don’t find wrestling around me. Seems like boxing will give me a solid foundation for this.
I have been looking for exactly something like this video, and very glad I found it! Excellent tutorial that convinced me to subscribe and see the rest of the channel! Thanks . . .
It's so lovely to have your videos as an instructor while beginning my experience in judo. Huge thanks and keep up your hard work to spread knowledge for free!
thanks for this video i am 18 years old and i just started judo and i am really learning a lot and my dream is to be in the top of this sport i have a long way to go but i will work hard for it
I just started a few weeks ago after seeing my six year old son compete. Best decision i ever made, i am so happy to begin my journey at 40. Thank you for the video
You are a great teacher . So much has been packed into this video. Explaining away the questions forming in my mind like the size of the box . You are awesome. I came because I need to have a self defence skill in martial art. I wonder how you will handle someone without a shirt. I am a complete beginner and your video have got me .
Excellent video for judo beginners. I am a kudo player but it helps me in all the wayy.through this we will improve our combat sports community.lets gooo🎉
Shintaro sensei ... you are an excellent teacher. Thank you for this wonderful work you do. I have been into BJJ for 36 years now - have done a fair bit of wrestling to supplement my BJJ, but never Judo. You inspire me to take up Judo ... when I come to visit friends in San Fransisco, I might try to contact you and have a few of us BJJ black belts come visit you. Best wishes from Australia. John
Nakano Sensei - I have a question if you don't mind, thanks. I was wondering when you teach beginners to start with focusing on just 3 throws, if the throws you named (ippon seionage, osotogari and ouchigari) were just examples or if those are the exact 3 throws that you recommend beginners start with? Thank you very much!
by the age of 9 i received by blue Belt in karate but due to shifting i left my academy. Now i am 13 and again want to continue growing my skills. Thanks for such videos
I was taught how to fall first from a very young age, that understanding practiced thousands of times paid dividends many times over. Old bycycle inner tubes used as a resistance partner helped me develop a strong movement and balance
Hi Sensei, very good video as usual, I would like to know what elements I must take into account to choose these three first tecnics? Thank you and a Happy new year!
The one thing that I learned over the years is to make certain your body is in good physical shape. Meaning go to the gym and learn how to lift weights and strengthen the body meaning your arms waist and especially your back to prevent future injuries. Talk with your Sensi about this.
"Do not be afraid to get thrown." Best advice for beginner judo athletes.
Thanks for your comment!
Was told this last night….I was afraid to be thrown down and did hurt my back. Missed class tonight. 😀💪🏾 we try again tomorrow
so what do we love to get throw and enjoy the pain?

I have a boxing background and I'm interested in Judo. Hearing that your right foot should be forward even if you're right-handed is so new to me.
i am a lifelong boxer and boxing coach, i have just started judo and also found this very different.
I’ve been boxing for 1.5 years and when I take Judo I’m planning to keep my left foot forwards since I already got the footwork.
Same here, I also found it strange!
I understand it feels strange at first for a boxer but the reason is that your stronger side needs to be closer to your partner / adversary as you need to get your grip on him and control / lead him. As a boxer you have a different perspective as you jab with your weaker side and throw your hard punch with momentum for which you need more space by turning your whole body. Hope this makes sense.

Fundamentals, by their very name "fundamental" are never for just beginners, they should be practiced daily and always reinforced. Many people forget the fundamentals because they're typically not fun or cool, but forget them and pay the price!
This is such a good video. Thank you! I just signed up for judo this month to add to my Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. So much additional depth in something not trained in depth the other art. Love it
Thanks for your comment and support!
Thank you very much Nakano Sensei! I learned a lot. The sabaki I have never visualized a box. That was a cool concept.
I'm soon going to a judo competition and I want to make me and my family proud by giving them a medal. This really helped and it means a lot to me thank you! 🥰
Edit - I won the gold medal! ❤
Did you get it
@@faith2332 Yeah, I won a gold medal!
@@NandiniCXO my competition is in a month hope I get a gold too..
@@faith2332 I hope that you win 🙏
Thanks for your comment! Good luck on your Judo journey!
I’ve been doing boxing and muay thai for 16 years now, and I’ve been wanting to learning Judo as I think it’s be a better combination with those styles than BJJ. Watching this video confirms my theory, the fact that the base posture and footwork is almost identical to boxing, pretty much indicates it’s the perfect combination.
But he's saying that a right hander should fight 'southpaw' and vice-versa, which is very different.
@@edwardburroughs1489 I understand which is also a principle used in boxing a lot. Most people believe the "power hand" should go on the back, but I personally disagree. I'm right handed and fight south paw, I feel it better to have your dominant hand in front for a better jab (most important punch) and more controlled defense being able to parry easier. Also, there's tons of boxers out there who have a stance with their dominant hand forward ie Oscar De La Hoya, Miguel Cotto, Vasyli Lomachenko, etc...
@@Jandro1083a good fighter can fight dominant and southpaw, of course as a right handed person I'm more comfortable fighting traditional, but when fighting or sparring, it's easy to get turned around, so you should be able to effectively transition and at least defend and jab in non-dominant or southpaw/traditional stance.
@@victorglaviano yep, but for me it’s the opposite. I’m naturally right handed, but fight more comfortably as a southpaw.
I train BJJ but would love to one day train in Judo. What a fantastic art !
In september im getting my firts judo lessons!😀 i love your videos and thank u for ur information!❤😄 keep going!
Why didn't i have a coach like you, when i did judo?((
Brilliant instuctions as usual. Thank you!
Btw What do you think about new IJF rules? In my opinion, judo is being degraded due to prohibition of techniques.
You're welcome! Thanks for your comment! It is sad to see some great judo techniques disappear after developing.
Good video. Even with posture, ALL stances have a strong base direction and a weak base direction. Get someone in a stance with posture. Place a bo staff across their big toes. The staff points in the direction of their 2 strong bases. Push or pull in those directions and you will see the resistance. Place a staff between their feet at a 90 degree angle to the first staff and it will point in the direction of their weakest bases. A 5 year old child can easily pull an adult in the direction of their weakest base even if the adult has good posture. Knowing this allows us to determine which throw and direction we can use. Knowing this we can understand how an opponent can resist a hip throw if we simply turn in 180 degrees. If he is facing 6 o'clock with right foot forward, we may need to turn in and face more toward 4:30 to get him leaning in and on his toes.
My pleasure! Thanks for your comment!
I started as an adult and been doing judo since right before Covid, as much as we have been allowed to. The obvious problems now are gripping and positioning. It is really hard to understand what you did wrong, but each time you get thrown you might realize something new. Still, pointers on gripping and positioning would be welcome! Thanks
Thanks for your comment!
You summarized the fundamental concepts of judo in just over 20 minutes, very good!!
And your english is very clear too
Please, keep on making videos like this, thank you 👏👏💪👏👏🥋
I will try my best! Thanks for your comment!
Started judo two weeks ago at 46. This video is an amazing source of knowledge. Thank you.
Thanks for your comment and support!
As a beginner.. I really learn lot of techniques in this video..thank you so much..plx don't skip this video.
Lots of love from Kashmir
Thank you so much for this great presentation! My daughter and I started Judo together today and she loves everything about it. She’s only 5 but in 5 years from now, she’ll have more life experience and leadership skills that most kids her age. I just hope she sticks with it. Do you have any tips for keeping kids involved in martial arts?
Keep up the great work and subscribe to this man’s channel. He’s keeping history alive for all of us to enjoy!
Thanks for your comment! Please have her enjoy judo under no pressure at all and have her make a lot of judo friends there so she will stick with that fun environment!
Are you and your daughter still enjoying Judo ? Yes, keeping it fun and not pushing the performance, instead using the time to enjoy together
Keep bringing such beginner friendly videos. Thanks.

I've recently started training in judo about a month, but during randori, my ankle got injured (badly sprained) and it has been over 3 weeks, pain didn't really go away. But, I love judo and couldn't just stop training. I went back yesterday and it was worth the pain. Haha. I started reading about judo (the fundamentals/ techniques) without illustrations, so coming to videos like this are helpful. Thanks.
Glad it helped! Thanks for your comment!
As a JiuJitsu Black Belt instructor, I love this video. Judo is something I'm putting more time into both for myself and my students. Thank you.
Thanks for your comment and support!
You are good at explaining things. I started Judo two weeks ago. It's all shiny and new and exciting, but I know nothing.
As someone who has just started judo (1 month), I can confirm that your tutorials are very important and vital for starting this sport. I really appreciate you and I hope you all the success.🙏
Thanks for your comment and support!
@@shintaronakano2842 you're welcome 😊
Thank you for making it transparant. I a. 47 years old and I will begin my first class soon. Especially kuzushi made a lot of sense why throws or sweeps work or not greetings from Holland
I think it’s for everybody. I’ve been around judo my whole life and the deeper understanding I get, the more sophisticated my understanding is to impart it so people can grasp and advance far more technically and comprehensively.
Thanks for your comment and support!
Your channel is amazing, Im orange belt , practicing since 2021, I love judo , but its so dificult , I want to have UCHIMATA as my tokui waza, have been practicing it since the end of 2022, its almost impossible to hit on handori against the more graduated colleagues, ive learned to use my hip on UCHIMATA ike two months ago , your UCHIMATA video was really helpful, but sometimes i get so frustrated, im a big guy, 97 kg, 1,78m , and I want to do judo for the rest of my life, not for competing, but as an activity that I love, but sometimes i get frutrated because the 17 year old brown belts destroy me hahahahahah
Thanks for your comment and support!
As a 42 year old adult, I was never taught ANY of this. We just proceeded through Dai Ikkyo. After I made my first belt rank, I became discouraged, because everyone else was a younger judoka who had dreams of competition and a very aggressive attitude that seemed counter to what I had believed Judo was to be. You seem like a good Sensei, the one that I wish I had thirty years ago.
Thanks for your comment and support!
I'm starting Judo soon (I'm 14) I'm very excited but also nervous as I've never done a martial art (I did karate for a while when I was 7) and this helped a lot,thank you
Been boxing for a year and a half. I will certainly take Judo since I don’t find wrestling around me. Seems like boxing will give me a solid foundation for this.
Nice work I love ur videos keep the videos coming my friend I been learning from your videos

Great video, I'm very new on Judo and loved these basics.
Thanks for your comment and support!
You are a great teacher . So much has been packed into this video.
Explaining away the questions forming in my mind like the size of the box . You are awesome.
I came because I need to have a self defence skill in martial art.
I wonder how you will handle someone without a shirt.
I am a complete beginner and your video have got me .
Thanks for your comment and support!

Thanks for your comment and support!
Great video! Wow very simple to understand and follow.
Shintaro sensei ... you are an excellent teacher. Thank you for this wonderful work you do. I have been into BJJ for 36 years now - have done a fair bit of wrestling to supplement my BJJ, but never Judo. You inspire me to take up Judo ... when I come to visit friends in San Fransisco, I might try to contact you and have a few of us BJJ black belts come visit you. Best wishes from Australia. John
my pleasure!
Looking to get into judo at 36 age. My son has lost all three of his matches. Any advice for a young kid who wants to win first place in competition?
Thank you ever so much for this video. Learned lots from it.
Wow Best judo fundamental video I have ever watched , It's easy clear logical and important , I'm not a Beginner but also learn a lot.
Hope you enjoyed! Thanks for your comment!
Nakano Sensei - I have a question if you don't mind, thanks. I was wondering when you teach beginners to start with focusing on just 3 throws, if the throws you named (ippon seionage, osotogari and ouchigari) were just examples or if those are the exact 3 throws that you recommend beginners start with? Thank you very much!
Thanks for your comment! I mentioned the three techniques as an example in this video. I recommended some Ashi-waza to start.
Great video, this was easier for me to understand than other judo videos. Thanks
by the age of 9 i received by blue Belt in karate but due to shifting i left my academy. Now i am 13 and again want to continue growing my skills. Thanks for such videos
Useful and amusing content. Thank you
Thanks for your comment and support!
Very good explanations , even though I don't know any martial arts, I can clearly understand the reason behind every move❤
Thanks for your comment and support!
Best judo video every beginners should watch. I wish i had a teacher like you.
Thanks for your comment!
Thank you very much Sensei. Student from Sydney, Australia.
Excellent video, thanks!
I was taught how to fall first from a very young age, that understanding practiced thousands of times paid dividends many times over. Old bycycle inner tubes used as a resistance partner helped me develop a strong movement and balance
Thanks for your comment and support!
Hi Sensei, very good video as usual, I would like to know what elements I must take into account to choose these three first tecnics? Thank you and a Happy new year!
How about choosing one Ashi-waza, one Te-waza and one Koshi-waza? Thanks for your comment!
@@shintaronakano2842 Thank you Sensei!
Great presentation! Thank you sir.

Domo arigatou gozaimasu, Sensei for this incredible explanation. It was very educational!
Thanks for your comment and support!
I am 14 and I started a week ago and I am very motivated
The one thing that I learned over the years is to make certain your body is in good physical shape. Meaning go to the gym and learn how to lift weights and strengthen the body meaning your arms waist and especially your back to prevent future injuries. Talk with your Sensi about this.
Thanks for your comment!
Thanks for your effects ❤🙏
