What can you do to improve your judo by yourself?

Lots of new judoka often ask what they can do to enhance thier judo at home, or without a partner.  Overall conditioning excercises are always a plus, but one great workout specifically for judo is a judo band.  Here is a link to how to build one at your home, or you can simply use a tree or post of any kind.  The judo band allows you to practice some of the throws, and really concentrates on your pull, which is often a major issue that lacks in performance.  Besides helping your kuzushi, it is an awesome conditioning and strength workout too!  Check the members section for some upcoming videos on working out with a band.
