Tree Judo (Kimura)

[Kane Fan]

ok I have been practicing on trees
I tried it today and well I like it
of course it's too soon to have ANY idea if it will help or if so how, but I like it
I noticed I didn't seem to be using my abs very much
I think this is a problem, how can I correct
JudoTom is probubly the best person to ask so I hope he notices this thread

"The secret to Kimura's success is called San Bai Ro Rioku. Under this belief, Kimura did 300 pushups daily in High School. In his University, Taku-Shoku, the number increased to 500. After obtaining his first victory, Kimura decided to start doing 1000 non-stop pushups to ensure his future victories. However, pushups were just a small part of Kimura's hard practices. During his prime, he practiced 4 times a day, at least 6 hours every day. He trained at Taku-Shoku University, local clubs, the Kodokan, and police academies. Quite often he would practice against a tree, always at midnight. One time Wushi-Zima, a two time champion, was aroused by a commotion in the nearby woods. When he checked out the noise it turned out to be Kimura doing uchikomi against a tree. On another occasion when he observed Kimura's strangely improvised uchikomi, Wushi-Zima asked "Are you still trying to kill that tree?"

if you want to get your abs invovled find a smaller / skinnier tree which you can bend by using your abs.

just realized that i kinda missed part of the quote.. san bai ro rioku means tripple effort and it was the way he ensured victory. he just made sure that he trained 3 hours longer then his opponents no matter what. earlier in his carrer he had always trained 2-3x longer per day then his opponent

I also think there is a point of diminishing returns when it comes to training. Better to train smart and hard than just hard.
