Nage no Kata self defense

My favorite Judo throwing technique is where the adversary is brought down by placing your hand in the back of the head and the opponent is brought down with ease. This is my favorite throwing technique because your opponent can be brought down so easily if executed properly no matter the size of the opponent they can be surely defeated.It is easy to use as it quickly throws your opponent off their feet and allow you to attack.You can also use your foot along with this technique to ensure that your adversary is defeated if it seems that using your hands to bring them down isn't quite working. The best throwing technique in self defense for me is the osoto-gari throw where you can use your foot to throw your adversary down on the ground as they come forward toward you. This technique is the best for me because it is simple yet powerful and no matter the size of the person who is attacking me I definitely can throw them down and be able to attack. Many techniques may give bigger persons the upper hand on the smaller person but this technique I think can bring about equality for both size people. I am much of a smaller person and I can guarantee that my adversary will be on the floor if that technique is used because the opponent will be thrown off- balance and I won't need to use to much of my body weight but rather their own weight is used against them along with their strength and momentum because when someone attacks you they give you most of their strength.  http://miyamaryujujutsu.com

Off balancing an adversary

Jujitsu has been an interesting learning experience for me. Before joining the class I was very unaware of my surroundings. I was in a white state completely oblivious to everything and everyone around me. Now after a few classes of jujitsu I became vigilant and through training I’m preparing to be in the red state if need be. I enjoy learning how to defend myself through the techniques of throwing someone off balance. It allows me to feel as if I have the upper hand when it comes to staying protected. I've learnt that using the eight points where your opponent can become off balance allow your opponent to be less of a threat and easily defeated. After watching the video I think that kuzushi can be done effortlessly if you are focused and ready for combat. Through the demonstrations in class I understand that through simple application of physics altering you attacker’s center of gravity by pushing or pulling them there should be no resistance on their part when effectively carrying out the technique. Positioning and timing I think goes hand in hand here. I see kuzushi as being effective when the need comes to defend yourself because it is simple yet forceful and your opponent will be in a position where his stability along with the ability to regain proper balance is destroyed giving you the upper hand. Now that I am vigilant and I have this technique under my belt I will no longer be living in fear. + http://miyamaryujujutsu.com
