isn't the original goal of judo to use balance and leverage instead of strength to throw your oponent? I have never practiced judo (exept for a workshop now and then) but thats what (respectable, knowledgable) people told me...

@Jarno1510 The actual principle you refer to is "seiryoku zen yo" commonly translated as "maximum efficiency, minimum efffort", with the idea being that the most efficeint motion is the one which requires the least amount of energy or strength to effect. One must always use some strength, as motion s impossible without it, but through learning to apply to the most effective technique at the most opportune moment, one can minimize the amount of strength required.

However, at times, the physical strength requirement to execute a technie can still be quite high, depending on the circumstance. Finally, this drill is as much about perfecting form as it is an aid to developing physical fitness. Just as a master gymnast makes a particular move look easy, this is achieved through the development of both physical ability and techincal form.

im a judoka man and in the street if ur goin one on one u cn use it very practically and lethally..its not just throws u can choke and yeah even in throws u can knock them out(which i did before)..but in a situation that ur outnumbered im sorry i havent encountered that yet.

@Jarno1510 what he is doing here is not really primariy for strength, although that is also a benifit, he is building muscle memory over thousands of repetitions so in a competition situation he does not even have to think and his body will move exactly into the position he has been practicing when doing this

[SenseiStrange]

@senseishin high strength in a technique is an indicator you are chasing the wrong technique. I know many people do power judo, but I think that mentality has limited returns. Power in martial arts at the highest levels feels effortless. You only need 30+ years of effort to get there. Thanks for the video, I will try this out.

@senseishin

thanks :) altough sportfighting isn't my "thing" is completely understand. I aim more at technique without the need to condition the body. As i teach normal everyday non-athletic people self defence, not as a sport but as a tool.

Thank you for your clear answer!
