I have been competing internationally for eleven years now and I have seen so many Judo players lose matches purely because their fitness and conditioning wasn’t up to scratch. People tend to forget that when you are too tired to stand up it doesn’t matter how good your technique is, you are still probably going to lose. Luckily for Judokas being tired only means getting thrown, strangled or arm-locked opposed to boxing or other striking sports where you can get knocked out.

Therefore if you want to succeed in Judo you must have a certain level of physical fitness. Unfortunately the physical fitness needed for Judo isn’t as easy as saying you must be able to run 15 on the beep test and bench press three times your bodyweight. Each Judoka has a different technical level and different attributes needed to succeed in the sport.

Workouts for Judo is designed to get you to that base level of fitness needed to be able to utilize your technique on an opponent who is fighting back.

Having a fitness and conditioning program designed specifically for Judo will instantly increase your fitness, strength, balance and agility which are all needed on the mat. Having these physical attributes will result in increasing your attack rate and help you become a fitter more pro-active Judoka.

I wrote Workouts for Judo because I love educating people. I have a YouTube channel and a blog where I have helped thousands of Judokas in all aspects of their Judo game, whether it is technical, physical or mental skills.

I have seen so many Judo players in the gym performing body building strength programs or programs designed for power lifting and although they have aspects that can benefit Judo it is not as beneficial as doing a Judo specific fitness and conditioning program.

I have a passion for teaching people how I train, what I do and the workouts I have implemented in order to achieve maximum results for my own training and Judo competition. As a result I have represented my country at the Beijing Olympic Games as well as competed in four world championships, nine continental championships and multiple world cups around the globe. I know how annoying it is to go to training and gas out and not get the most out of yourself. I know how important it is to be fit enough to keep on fighting, evading your opponent’s attacks as well as getting in your own attacks and combinations.

I have found that many Judokas’ don’t know how to train for Judo. I saw many Judo players completing bodybuilding programs for strength or running long distances as part of their cardio training.

I was constantly telling people that:

“In order to attain the best results you must train specifically for your sport.”

Therefore we must train like Judo players.

In Workouts for Judo I have workouts designed specifically for Judo and if you implement these workouts into your weekly schedule you will be fitter, faster and stronger for Judo.

Workouts for judo also comes with 2 bonuses:

Advanced Workouts for Judo & Video Demonstrations
Advanced Workouts for Judo contains harder exercises and spirit crushing workouts that will push you and your body to the absolute limit! These workouts will increase your core strength, core stability, power and mental toughness whether you like it or not.

Advanced Workouts for Judo is a manual for those Judoka who want to push their opponents so hard that their opponents simply give in and quit mid way through the fight.

Video Demonstrations of each exercise

For your convenience I have filmed each and every exercise in both Workouts for Judo and Advanced Workouts for Judo.

Now you don’t have to worry if you are doing the exercises right or wrong. Simply watch and rewatch all the exercises to make sure you are getting the most out of each Judo specific movement.
