Our member's skills are constantly progressing

And today we practiced hip interception (Tsurikomi-goshi) Hip interception (Tsurikomi-goshi) is used when we actually use moves. This is a good move to use when you want to use skill after skill continuously.

Method:
1.Hold their judokee on both sides
2.Pull the opponent towards you
3.After you pulled the opponent, put your right hand under the opponent's left armpit and lift your arm.
4.Pull your left arm towards you
5.Then pull their hip directly up and throw them over !

Gunha instructor told us this for the hip interception move.
"If you want to do a perfect hip interception, you need to be able to be thrown first in order to know what it feels like to throw someone else. Don't be scared of getting thrown. That will soon become your skill."
Sounds amazing right
Even though our practice video isn't perfect, lets raise our skills little by little.

Have a good day!

A real judokan is...

A real judokan is not a person throwing opponants many times,

a person who is ready again to fight right before falling down.

Interviewed by the Chairwoman of Mannam, Ms. Nam Hee Kim

Mannam Chairwoman - Nam Hee Kim

Q. What do you think about volunteerism mean as the Chairwoman of Mannam? 

-> I think that every basic foundation of ideology is filial piety, and it is not limited to only Korea. When one is dutiful to one's parent, it is filial piety; when the same devotion is shown to a country, it becomes loyalty; and in religion, it becomes faith. And they are based on sacrifice, thinking of other before oneself, which is the spirit of volunteer service. Mannam's service is voluntary and dedicating oneself as if he or she is doing work at one's home, even when picking up garbage on the street. This is the spirit of Mannam.

Q. What's the plans for the future of the organization? 

-> A. Our vision is to work as pure volunteers who give back to the community.

Q. Mannam's slogan is "When Light meets Light, there is Victory!".
    What does it mean by then? 

-> A. Each person is light, also should become a person like light. As these people who are like light meet, we can defeat the darkness from the world.

Q. What is Cultural-art volunteer meant to Mannam?

I heard Mannam is alike true volunteerism and a great planning. Supporting the poor is not only Mannam's volunteer work but also letting a delivery of the message of hope through the Cultural- art performance and a receiver who experience the love to be met and become one is our Cultural-art volunteerism.

Q. Why does Mannam do country-related events? 

->A. It is very natural to dedicate time and efforts to those we love. As Mannam loves its country and sincerely appreciates those who sacrificed their lives for the country, it is logical to give our time and effort. We do not see this as sacrifice. The question of "Why do you do country-related events? is equivalent to the question of "Why do you love another?"

-> These are the Korean version of Mannam's Q&A.


Hope everyone enjoys to reading. Thank you.

Mannam judo is good at Ground Sparring

It seems like being a while and posting loads of ground sparring. 

But, today will be very refreshing one because we are going to focus on different types of sparring though. 

Generally, there are different names and forms of sparring in terms of sports. 

Not only judo has sparring techniques but also many different martial arts have sparring. 

In Muay Thai and boxing, sparring is normally called sparring. 

But, Chinese martial arts, Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, and Japanese martial arts are used in their own jargon like San shou(Pushing hands), rolling and randori. 

This video clip shows how the two different level of judoka plays. 

It must be a big match! :)    

Jacob's Mannam Judo Story

 

Jacob, I often mentioned his name on our blog.

He is one of our favorite members from Mannam judo club as he never lose his smile and also funny, positive, active and talkative (in good way^^). These days he is keen on doing judo as he found it attractive more than yoga. (I think so ) so let's discover more about him. 

1. Tell us a little bit about yourself.

-> My favorite colour is blue, I love to eat kimchi-tisgae(kimchi stew) sushi, and salad.

I have many heroes. Among athletes I love the soccer players Luis Suarez, Gareth Bale, and Christiano Ronaldo, and the MMA fighter Georges St. Pierre from my home town Montreal.

I love jazz, classical and K-pop.

I love weight lifting, tennis, squash, scuba diving, running and martial arts. My favourite marial art is judo.

 

2. When did you start joining Mannam judo and how did you meet with us?

->  I can not remember when I started. I guess it was last summer, maybe June.

First, I joined another Mannam group which did volunteer events on the weekend, next I joined the Mannam soccer team, I then heard about the Mannam judo club from the web site.

3. What is your favourite thing about being in Mannam judo club?

-> My favourite thing about the judo club is learning judo.

I love judo, because it is fun to throw people (lol) and exercise.

I also like that the people in the judo class are very friendly.

I think the judo club is a very relaxing and friendly place.

I like joking around with the club members.

4. When was the most happiest moment in Korea?

My happiest moment living in Korea was probably skiing or going to the world Expo in Yosu.

I love travelling around Korea and seeing traditional Korean things.

Actually city life can be boring and stressful, although going to night clubs is also fun.

I also enjoyed the judo tip to Jeonju, where we got to eat really good noodles and walk around a more traditional town.

 

5. Any difficulties learning judo?

Judo has two confusing aspects.

First, your most effective move is to turn your back on your opponent and throw them over, and this is not a natural feeling, since in most fighting you want to face your opponent.

Second, in wrestling and other fighting arts you want to tense your muscles, but in judo like boxing you want to be loose and suddenly use all your force.

I am still trying to smoothly do the various techniques.

Once I have to actually spar I seem to forget some of the techniques, so application of the skills is also a challenge.

 

6. What is the one thing that you cherish the most?

I cherish personal relationships and friendship.

I like to have a healthy relationship with friends so that I can enjoy the good things in life.

7. Any word you want to say to Mannam judo team?

I think Mannam judo members should also try their best in everything they do, especially try to keep up your fitness level by running, swimming and doing other cardio activities. A healthy mind needs a healthy body.

How to be a best promoter (by Mannam Judo)

On 5th of Jan, Mannam judo team decided to start street promoting in the general public.

For first place we chose Itaewon which is a popular area for residents of Seoul, tourists, and U.S. Military personnel. That's why its used to call "the Hooker Hill".

We thought street promoting is an effective, inexpensive way to promote to anyone who are welcoming for a little chat.  

It was quite chill outside so we just stuck in at the entrance of subway. 

As a street promoter we could reach a large number of potential new-comers but, majority of them objected us to share their personal details.

However, Jacob gave us a few tips for how to be a 'real' street promoter to promote our Mannam Judo team successfully.

Jacob's Best Quotations during the street PR 

1.  Two blond ladies was saying "I hate Korea" in passing words Jacob made them stop to tell them "Maybe this time will be different. Come to join Mannam Judo!"

2. He sang a song when he popped up to people "I know its crazy but I'd like to talk to you."

3. It was like an icy weather but, he was tying to say "Hi. The weather is beautiful." to get attention from people.

We learnt how important to share each one's ideas, mind and joy from the street PR.
Just pop in Hanyang University Class (Line2) on every Tuesday!
That will be an unique experience.



  

Judo skills - Body drop (빗당겨치기) from mannam judo

Some students told that Korean Judo jargon does not naturally stick to their learning. Instead, they were found Japanese is comfortable to use. As I am a native Korean speaker, I have an passion(?) for making them practise like proper Koreans, but it does not go really well.

Before moving on, here is Korean lesson you need to know. 

빗당겨치기 

(bit-dang-gu-chi-gi) 

Body Drop / Tai Otoshi in Japanese

This technique is one of the original 40 throws and considers of a hand throw.

* Body Drop 's step

1. In order to break your opponent's balance forward, execute it when he is stepping forward.  

2. Step in and out with your right leg so that your calf is in front of your opponent's shin. 

3. Your heel should be turned outward so that your knee is pointing down. 

4. Then pulling forward on your opponent's sleeve and collar, drop you body and they fall over your leg.
