Repetition is widely considered the foundation of mastery in judo.

Again, again, and again every movement reminds us to refine and perfect each technique we practice.

Our 7years old baby Reese Ava Maderazo plays her role beautifully, inspiring her fellow judokas to keep going, stay disciplined, and continue sharpening the techniques they love most.

Studying kumi kata technique for today

Kumi kata (組み方) in judo means "grip fighting" or "the method of gripping" the opponent's gi (uniform). It is the foundational aspect of standing, or tachi-waza, that allows you to control, unbalance (kuzushi), and execute throws, acting as a crucial bridge between techniques.

Training under Sensei Oota really does sound like a rare opportunity. Nobu Ootadirectly from a full-blooded Japanese judoka often means you’re getting not just techniques, but also the deeper culture of judo discipline, timing, etiquette, kuzushi, and the small details that usually take years to understand.

Having a sensei who shares knowledge freely is something many martial artists value deeply. Those kinds of teachers can shape both skill and character, especially in arts like Judo where mindset matters as much as technique.

It sounds like you genuinely appreciate the experience, and that attitude alone usually helps students grow faster.

Lets us learn and play JUDO at Manila Central Judo Club
