What is Judo?
Judo is a Japanese martial art that aims at strengthening trainees' bodies and minds through its training. During the session, a player grips the
opponent and makes an effort to subdue him/her by throwing or holding. Trainees may have respective reasons to start Judo practice. Some people start their practice for fitness while others start practice to become stronger or to lose weight healthfully or to learn safer ways of falling down.
Although trainees may have various motivations initially, the goal of Judo is to develop fine people. Let's learn the Rei mind through Judo training and become a fine person who is strong both physically and mentally and who willingly contribute to the society.
The Principles of Waza
Waza is based on the fundamental principle of Judo that is, "Maximum Efficient Use of Mind and Body". The theories of Tsukuri and Kake are expressing the principle from Waza's viewpoint.
Tsukuri is made up of Kuzushi which means to destroy your opponent's posture or balance, and "holding yourself ready" to make your attack easier. To actually apply your contemplated technique, when his posture has already been broken by Tsukuri, is called Kake. Tsukuri and Kake can also be called technical principles of Judo.
While you are practicing Tsukuri and Kake, both depend upon the fundamental principle of "Mutual welfare and benefit" and "Maximum efficiency," you can understand and master the principle which can be applied to all phases of human life. You proceed from Waza to Way by practicing Judo.
