Motivation: High!
Progress: Stellar!
Ow: Not a lot. Some hard falls.

So, I’m getting even better with the warm up, and my general fitness is to the point that I’m still getting super winded / out of gas doing Randori and practice, but that my physical capacity is higher than the 4 hours a week of Judo. So, with the extra capacity, since I can’t do more Judo, is to focus my fitness on things that SUPPORT Judo. The most important of these is aerobic and anerobic capacity.

So, I’m starting to devise a plan.

I’m thinking Mon/Wed for Judo, Fri for full body workout with weights + HIIT (high intensity interval training) in the form of running or rowing. (Rowing works the ‘pull’ muscles used in Judo). Things like Deadlifts, Squats, bench press, rows, etc will all make me stronger to assist with the explosive power sometimes required in Judo.

On Tuesday & Thursday, I’ll do some LISS (low intensity, steady state) cardio, like a stationary bike to work on my general fitness level.

In the future I may add some time at a different gym, like a BJJ gym, to help round out my skills especially in my very weak ground game (newaza) that BJJ specializes in. I don’t really like BJJ in concept, or ground work, but it is where I’m weakest.

If there were more Judo classes, I’d just go to that. The best fitness for Judo is to simply do more Judo, but there are only two classes a week.

Why the focus? Because I’m gonna COMPETE. There is a competition in November, in Seattle, that sensei says I should be ready for by them. No better way to test what you’ve learned than in competitive battle! Good motivation to train, too :)]]>Judo: Class 13: Sensei Pinch-My-Armamonroe@paml.comJudo2010-07-26T20:13:58-07:00http://www.showyoufitness.com/files/c8611c5c4d2856f7e888fa8a7fe3069f-18.html#unique-entry-id-18http://www.showyoufitness.com/files/c8611c5c4d2856f7e888fa8a7fe3069f-18.html#unique-entry-id-18Judo: Class 11 & 12: Carpal-Fuamonroe@paml.comJudo2010-07-14T20:06:39-07:00http://www.showyoufitness.com/files/85ee780179e62c1dab6a2f33b327686e-17.html#unique-entry-id-17http://www.showyoufitness.com/files/85ee780179e62c1dab6a2f33b327686e-17.html#unique-entry-id-17Judo: Classes 9 & 10: I'm the most feared person in the Dojo!!amonroe@paml.comJudo2010-07-05T20:00:22-07:00http://www.showyoufitness.com/files/899aff8b2525ffdab406497395b838af-16.html#unique-entry-id-16http://www.showyoufitness.com/files/899aff8b2525ffdab406497395b838af-16.html#unique-entry-id-16Judo: Class 7 & 8 : Wife starts, and improvement!amonroe@paml.comJudo2010-06-30T19:54:50-07:00http://www.showyoufitness.com/files/c49123cc9b65b74f92ec1e83fa9566ee-15.html#unique-entry-id-15http://www.showyoufitness.com/files/c49123cc9b65b74f92ec1e83fa9566ee-15.html#unique-entry-id-15Judo: Class 6: Return of Big Mike (or My God Randori is Hard)amonroe@paml.comJudo2010-06-03T22:06:38-07:00http://www.showyoufitness.com/files/a4a330c68e451fe2738a379530a74195-14.html#unique-entry-id-14http://www.showyoufitness.com/files/a4a330c68e451fe2738a379530a74195-14.html#unique-entry-id-14Judo: Class 5 - OW!
