The foundations were set from a very young age through to growing up 'My Judo' is something that will guide you throughout your life. For years now Mick has tried and tested many techniques. To his mind this is what makes a well-rounded judo player. In his words, “You must be able to visualize the techniques firstly and then, to apply them in a practical manner.” Mick believes that as coaches, trainers, and instructors we must maintain the roots of our sport so that Professor Jigoro Kano's art is not lost because of contest rule changes and restrictions that limit the full flow of Judo in its natural sense. It is incredible how many other martial artists have copied Jigoro Kano's deadlier moves and renamed them. Today Judo is the pre-eminent Olympic / Martial Art Sport. Counters and Combinations are hard to come by so I hope you enjoy the few techniques that may entice you to be creative in your own development and continue your quest to learn and achieve your goals as a practitioner of the magnificent art of Judo.
