Basically, when you’re doing fit-ins, or Uchikomi’s, the other person tends to [...]
I have been working a lot on my Makikomi before, during, and since the Utah Judo tournament. One of the problems that I have run into is that I have primarily been trying to throw the “Osoto Makikomi”, which can be seen in this video:

In the meantime however, I have been looking through some [...]
Okay, so I know that I promised to try to get some pictures of the arm bar uploaded here, but well… I didn’t. Instead however, let me point you toward this arm bar video, and talk a little bit about it.
For me, the piece of this move that seems to make the the most critical [...]
So I’m into my second week of two classes per night. I can already feel my body responding… especially in my “core”. I feel tighter and more firm all of the time. Beyond that though, I really feel blessed. Each night I walk away with such gems of knowledge from my classes, that I jsut [...]
As we head into October, the month of Halloween, and spooks, I think we probably all have the same thing on our mind: How do I best prepare myself to survive in the event of a zombie invasion?
