Wed, 3 January 2007  We at The Judo Podcast want to wish everyone a Happy New Year, and wish you the best health and judo training success. For me, the New Year is a time when I can focus on new warmups, drills and workouts to bring a spark to my own judo and personal health goals. Over the Holiday, we had a Kid's Christmas Camp, featuring instruction from Hiram "Tonka" Cruz from Jacksonville, Florida. He brought some great warmups and drills which we are sharing with you now in the members section. Again, Happy New Year and best of luck for 2007!

Mon, 1 January 2007  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.
