Will the REAL Judo please stand up?

Will the REAL Judo please stand up?

To me Judo is not a sport… It is a Way of Life!

Judo is an Art with a confused identity. It is a very popular sport worldwide and has been in the Olympics since 1972 as a full fledged medal event. What too many Martial Artists, including Judoka, forget is that the syllabus of Professor Kano & the Kodokan includes far more than Judo as a sport.

The current focus on the sport phase of judo has created several generations of Judoka who do not learn [or appreciate] the full spectrum of the Martial Art of Judo!!!!

When looked at from the traditionalist approach to Judo, you can see a complete Martial Art. The protocols of traditional Judo include Atemi-Waza, (Techniques of Striking) avoidance with Tai-Sabaki ('whole body movement', or repositioning. It can be translated as body-management) and highly efficient counter attacks. It may come as a surprise to many that the combat techniques only utilize 3 throwing techniques (O-Soto-Gari, Uki-Goshi, and Ippon Seionage). It is through this phase, the Jujitsu roots of Judo become obvious as a variety of Shime-Waza (Techniques of Strangulation) and Kansetsu-Waza (Techniques of Dislocation) are the main techniques ending the combat.

In summary, Judo is a popular sport practiced all over the world but it is far more than a sport! It is a complete Martial Art which allows the Judoka to focus on any of the 3 phases. The traditional Judoka is schooled in all phases of the Art including learning from related Arts such as Kendo. Part of Professor Kano’s genius is the flexibility built into the fabric of Judo. The syllabus is constantly being updated, techniques evaluated added to or removed from the “official” lists, and rules reevaluated as well.

Just as a science major in college allows for the student to specialize in Biology (for example), knowledge of Chemistry is required to understand how the Biological systems work. The student will further specialize in either Zoology (the study of animal life) or Botany (the study of plant life) and the web keeps focusing on the next subspecialty.

So why does Judo not get its due as a compete Martial Art? Part of the problem as I see it is the popularity of Judo as an Olympic Sport. This is the face of the Art to the public and even other Martial Artists.  Another issue may be the simplicity of the techniques used in “Old Judo” “Combat Judo” or Goshin Judo”

They are not as eye-catching as the techniques from Karate systems of even Aikido. They are, however, highly efficient and leaves less chance of failure in a self-defense situations. (These techniques are nothing you will see in the Olympics. They are all about doing as much damage as possible to an aggressor in the shortest amount of time - good old basic “Mean and Nasty” street fighting).

I competed in Sport Judo for many years. Once I was unable to compete, the other phases of Judo allowed me to participate & continue learning. Having the option of growth kept me in Judo and expanded my understanding of my Art. My appreciation of Judo has grown as well as I touch on the full spectrum of the Traditional form of the Art.

Judo is Goshin – Goshin means self-defense!

Make it Happen... No Excuses

If it’s important, you’ll find a way. If it isn’t, you’ll find an excuse

Some people dream of success, others make it happen. Of course, you can dream as much as you like but waiting for things to happen gets you nowhere. Get active and start making things happen.

Whatever journey your path takes you on, the most important thing is to have passion in what you do.

How many of you went to college, got your degree, and ended up doing something totally unrelated to your major? Studying it did not make you passionate about it. It wasn’t your path.

Education or even talents aren’t worth much without passion. So do the stuff that you love and you've always wanted to do because without it, you'll feel stuck and unfulfilled. If you work in a bank but your dream is to be a naturopath, then make those changes now. Make this year the turning point in your life. When you do what you love you will be rewarded — it will just flow naturally.

Look at those around you who just make things happen. They have a clear goal in mind and they know where they want to go. They don't always have a plan but they have the passion and the tenacity to make it work, and they achieve their goals as the end result.

Trust us when we tell you this. If something important to you, you WILL find a way. If it isn't, you'll find an excuse. It’s that simple. Find your way. Make it work, whatever it takes. Are you 10 pounds heavier than you should be? It is simple: Commit, go workout,  join a karate class…. no excuses, and train until you lose those 10 pounds. When you accomplish this, you'll have the confidence to do more. Set a goal and make it happen.

Want to stop smoking? Stop making excuses, take control of your circumstances before they take control of you.

Success isn't just about what you accomplish in your life, it's about what you inspire others to do and when you do accomplish something as simple as quitting smoking or losing weight, you'll inspire others to do the same. Anyone can change the world, and everybody should try. And it all st
arts with your own life.

Stop waiting for the perfect time to do what you want to do...  Do It Now!

Life begins at the end of your comfort zone, so get used to being uncomfortable. It won’t kill you. Do you need a sign? Here it is:...

Dealing with name calling

Dealing with name calling

 

TIP--Teach your child skills to deal with name calling.

Six-year-old Missy comes home in tears. Two kids on the bus called her "Sissy Missy." When she started to cry, they taunted her more by calling her "Crybaby." "I'm never riding the bus again," Missy wails and glares at you.

TOOL--Help your child deal with the name calling by applying problem-solving techniques.

First, ask your child, "Are you a sissy? If those kids say so, does that mean it's true?" Help her distinguish between facts and beliefs. Emphasize that someone's statement or belief has no power to change facts.

Second, ask your child how she felt when the kids called her names. She will probably answer "mad," "hurt," or "embarrassed." Ask her how the kids probably felt when they saw her react to the name calling (perhaps, entertained or powerful).

Help her plan how she can react differently next time this happens. Brainstorm ideas together. Come up with at least ten. Here are three ideas, drawn from Elizabeth Crary's My Name is Not Dummy, to get you started:

Ignore the unkind words. Believe it or not, ignoring is one of the most effective options. The key is that your child must completely ignore the name calling--not even glance in the teaser's direction. Advise your child to talk with another student or read a book. It needs to be very obvious that she is calm and apparently not affected by the teasing. If no response is forthcoming, teasers generally lose interest and stop.

Do something unexpected. If teasers don't get the reaction they're looking for, it often curtails the name calling. For example, Missy could say, "My full name is Meredith. Got any rhymes for that?" then smile. Or she could chime in with, "Can you think of one that goes with Brandon? He's my brother."

Ask for help. If a child has exhausted her options for dealing with the problem herself (when there is no threat of violence) and finds no success, then it is appropriate to ask an adult for help. Missy, in the above example, might approach the bus driver or her teacher for ideas.

Have your child select an idea to try and then a back-up plan. Role-play the interaction for her. First you take her role and have her be the teaser. Then switch roles. Have her practice and practice until the response becomes comfortable for her.

You’ll find more practical tips you can use right now in My Name is Not Dummy by Elizabeth Crary, M.S.

Martial Arts students in Scottsdale learn lesson about life

Focus on making yourself a better person.... not on thinking you are better than others..... Too many people spend their time focusing on criticizing others and thinking that they are better than others..... If you are sincerely working on making yourself the best that you can be... you don't have time to worry about how other people are not living as they should.....

Your job is not to judge how others live or to criticize what others do..... Your job is to improve your own life and make yourself the best that you can be...... When you are truly focused on this..... You will find that you don't have time to mind other people's business.....

Live your life and allow others to live their lives.....

Be Happy! - Exercise Raises Happiness Levels.

I'd always believed that a life of quality, enjoyment, and wisdom were my human birthright and would be automatically bestowed upon me as time passed. I never suspected that I would have to learn how to live - that there were specific disciplines and ways of seeing the world I had to master before I could awaken to a simple, happy, uncomplicated life.

12 Things Happy People Do Differently

Studies conducted by positivity psychologist Sonja Lyubomirsky point to 12 things happy people do differently to increase their levels of happiness. These are things that we can start doing today to feel the effects of more happiness in our lives.

I want to honor and discuss each of these 12 points, because no matter what part of life's path we're currently traveling on, these 'happiness habits' will always be applicable.

1. Express gratitude. - When you appreciate what you have, what you have appreciates in value. Kinda cool right? So basically, being grateful for the goodness that is already evident in your life will bring you a deeper sense of happiness. And that's without having to go out and buy anything. It makes sense. We're gonna have a hard time ever being happy if we aren't thankful for what we already have.

2. Cultivate optimism. - Winners have the ability to manufacture their own optimism. No matter what the situation, the successful diva is the chick who will always find a way to put an optimistic spin on it. She knows failure only as an opportunity to grow and learn a new lesson from life. People who think optimistically see the world as a place packed with endless opportunities, especially in trying times.

3. Avoid over-thinking and social comparison. - Comparing yourself to someone else can be poisonous. If we're somehow 'better' than the person that we're comparing ourselves to, it gives us an unhealthy sense of superiority. Our ego inflates - KABOOM - our inner Kanye West comes out! If we're 'worse' than the person that we're comparing ourselves to, we usually discredit the hard work that we've done and dismiss all the progress that we've made. What I've found is that the majority of the time this type of social comparison doesn't stem from a healthy place. If you feel called to compare yourself to something, compare yourself to an older version of yourself.
 

4. Practice acts of kindness. - Performing an act of kindness releases serotonin in your brain. (Serotonin is a substance that has TREMENDOUS health benefits, including making us feel more blissful.) Selflessly helping someone is a super powerful way to feel good inside. What's even cooler about this kindness kick is that not only will you feel better, but so will people watching the act of kindness. How extraordinary is that? Bystanders will be blessed with a release of serotonin just by watching what's going on. A side note is that the job of most anti-depressants is to release more serotonin. Move over Pfizer, kindness is kicking ass and taking names.
 

5. Nurture social relationships. - The happiest people on the planet are the ones who have deep, meaningful relationships. Did you know studies show that people's mortality rates are DOUBLED when they're lonely? WHOA! There's a warm fuzzy feeling that comes from having an active circle of good friends who you can share your experiences with. We feel connected and a part of something more meaningful than our lonesome existence.
 

6. Develop strategies for coping. - How you respond to the 'craptastic' moments is what shapes your character. Sometimes crap happens - it's inevitable. Forrest Gump knows the deal. It can be hard to come up with creative solutions in the moment when manure is making its way up toward the fan. It helps to have healthy strategies for coping pre-rehearsed, on-call, and in your arsenal at your disposal.
 

7. Learn to forgive. - Harboring feelings of hatred is horrible for your well-being. You see, your mind doesn't know the difference between past and present emotion. When you 'hate' someone, and you're continuously thinking about it, those negative emotions are eating away at your immune system. You put yourself in a state of suckerism (technical term) and it stays with you throughout your day.
 

8. Increase flow experiences. - Flow is a state in which it feels like time stands still. It's when you're so focused on what you're doing that you become one with the task. Action and awareness are merged. You're not hungry, sleepy, or emotional. You're just completely engaged in the activity that you're doing. Nothing is distracting you or competing for your focus.
 

9. Savor life's joys. - Deep happiness cannot exist without slowing down to enjoy the joy. It's easy in a world of wild stimuli and omnipresent movement to forget to embrace life's enjoyable experiences. When we neglect to appreciate, we rob the moment of its magic. It's the simple things in life that can be the most rewarding if we remember to fully experience them.
 

10. Commit to your goals. - Being wholeheartedly dedicated to doing something comes fully-equipped with an ineffable force. Magical things start happening when we commit ourselves to doing whatever it takes to get somewhere. When you're fully committed to doing something, you have no choice but to do that thing. Counter-intuitively, having no option - where you can't change your mind - subconsciously makes humans happier because they know part of their purpose.
 

11. Practice spirituality. - When we practice spirituality or religion, we recognize that life is bigger than us. We surrender the silly idea that we are the mightiest thing ever. It enables us to connect to the source of all creation and embrace a connectedness with everything that exists. Some of the most accomplished people I know feel that they're here doing work they're "called to do."
 

12. Take care of your body. - Taking care of your body is crucial to being the happiest person you can be. If you don't have your physical energy in good shape, then your mental energy (your focus), your emotional energy (your feelings), and your spiritual energy (your purpose) will all be negatively affected. Did you know that studies conducted on people who were clinically depressed showed that consistent exercise raises happiness levels just as much as Zoloft? Not only that, but here's the double whammy... Six months later, the people who participated in exercise were less likely to relapse because they had a higher sense of self-accomplishment and self-worth.

Scottsdale Fitness – Martial Arts Training

It’s All About You!!!

How bad DO you want it?

That is the question I want to ask so many people I talk to every week.

In fact, I’m asking you...

How bad DO you want to make changes in your life?!

Every week, we get dozens of requests for information about Goshin Karate and Judo Academy and the program we offer here. They come from many different sources, but over the past 20 or so years, we’ve accumulated (literally) almost 10,000 prospective clients.

Yet our studio sessions comfortably fit only a couple hundred committed members each week.

Why?

Why do so many give up within a the first few months? Why do so many cave in to the “woe is me” mentality? Why, out of all the head smart, supposedly fitness savvy individuals out there…why do we live in an “I just can’t do it” world of despair and sickness?

I believe there is one major reason.

I believe it’s because our instant gratification society doesn’t know how to reach for a long term end goal. We’re so used to getting things NOW that when it comes to achieving results in our physical condition (despite the fact that it took years of bad habits to GET here), we give up too easily. If it doesn’t happen overnight and effortlessly, we grow bored or even apathetic.

I read an article a while back that used the phrase, “Once difficult, now easy.”

It caught my attention.

The author of the article was quoting a well-known PhD who stood behind the belief that assuming you are physically capable of a particular action, that you CAN retrain your conscious and subconscious minds to accomplish the once difficult task and make it easy.

Take fitness at a Goshin Karate level (since that’s what we are all interested in)…

Let’s say you can’t complete a full workout. (This is something that has happened many times with new clients.) Perhaps your weight keeps you from doing a jumping jack without fear of injury. Maybe you can’t run a mile…much less walk it.

All of these things I’ve seen before.

I’ve seen clients come in and through sheer WILLPOWER and change in their thinking, have succeeded in doing the “impossible.” By the same stroke, I’ve seen clients with half the weight loss goal come in and completely fail…all because they don’t want to have to exert any effort.

It’s a sad state to be in.

I’m so tired of hearing people gripe about how “If only I could lose weight like so-and-so does…it’s so effortless for him/her.” I’m tired of listening to sob story after sob story on the phone of women who “gained all this baby weight” or “just don’t have time” or “don’t have a support system at home” and therefore can’t succeed.

DAILY I hear these excuses spouted…but when I offer them the solution to their problems, they suddenly aren’t interested.

I’m here to tell you that NOT ONE SINGLE WEIGHT CHALLENGE is impossible to overcome.

You have a heart condition? You are a diabetic? You had knee surgery? Your back is bad? You gained 60 pounds with your last baby? You have an addiction to food?

All of it can be overcome.

The doctor who offered people that catch phrase in the 1960’s didn’t suggest that you could mind warp yourself into an easy life. You couldn’t brain ninja all the bad things and have them filled automatically with good things.

You have to want it so bad INSIDE, that you’ll completely change how you view life.

• There is no “I can’t.”
• There is no “Tomorrow I’ll start.”
• There is no “Well if the trainer were better, I wouldn’t have to struggle.”
• There is no “Gimme the easy way out.”

Instead, it’s replaced with the complete mind transformation of…

• “I CAN do this impossible thing.”
• “I WILL make the sacrifice of (gas budget, time, and money) to achieve the amazing results I want.”
• “I am responsible for my OWN success.”
• “I understand and embrace that this road will be long, hard and possibly disappointing at times. But I won’t give up. Cause I’m not a quitter.”

Every single client I have watched make a transformation in their bodies has had to work for it. It was a long and hard journey for most. They had to push through soreness and pain to achieve the desired effect.

And with every SINGLE one of them, it was a mental victory long before it was a physical one.

Our new admin, Morgan, told me today that her boyfriend has a motto, “WIN today.” You don’t worry about your failures from yesterday. You don’t worry about the stress of tomorrow. You win today.

1. Stop for a minute.
2. Write this sentence down with me.

“How will TODAY be the turning point in my battle to win?”

And now write down 5 things you can do TODAY to win the battle.

Ask yourself, “Can I…

• … skip the fast food for lunch and pick up a healthy wrap and bag of baby carrots instead?”
• … replace that can of soda with an unsweetened (or honey sweetened) ice tea?”
• … go for a walk on my lunch break instead of sit at my desk?”
• … avoid a candy bar for mid-afternoon snack and choose a healthy granola bar or handful of raw nuts?”
• … go home after work and force myself to put workout clothes on and complete a brisk run or intense resistance workout?
• … clean out my pantry and fridge of all processed foods?”

Or… if you need the help of someone who has struggled with this mentality shift too, pick up the phone and schedule a consultation at Goshin Karate and Judo Academy today.

I’ve been through this struggle. Ms. Beverly has been there. Mr. Tim, Mr. Liu, Mr. John, and Mrs. Betty too…they’ve ALL been there. Every one of the clients who work out here (or have in the past) goes through this struggle of the mind.

You’re in good company with the struggle and the BEST company if you want to surround yourself with people who have overcome and can tell you how good it feels to be on this side of the struggle.

Today is the day.

Make the change you so desperately want and make it right this second. Only you can control what happens in your mind.

Even the “exceptionally gifted” talents we envy had to work hard to get where they’re at right now.

The sports stars are out conditioning in the field and in the gym for hours each season. The musicians and actors spend countless hours perfecting their skills. The sexy toned soccer mom down the street is at the gym or on her walk every morning, regardless of whether the baby kept her up all night or the husband wanted to treat her to dinner yesterday.

It’s all about your mindset.

How badly DO you want it?

Halloween Health and Safety Tips

For many people, autumn events like Halloween and Harvest Day are fun times to dress up in costumes, go trick-or-treating, attend parties, and eat yummy treats. These events are also opportunities to provide nutritious snacks, get physical activity, and focus on safety. Below are tips to help make the festivities fun and safe for trick-or-treaters and party guests.

Going trick-or-treating?

	Swords, knives, and similar costume accessories should be short, soft, and flexible.
	Avoid trick-or-treating alone. Walk in groups or with a trusted adult.
	Fasten reflective tape to costumes and bags to help drivers see you.
	Examine all treats for choking hazards and tampering before eating them. Limit the amount of treats you eat.
	Hold a flashlight while trick-or-treating to help you see and others see you.
	Always test make-up in a small area first. Remove it before bedtime to prevent skin and eye irritation.
	Look both ways before crossing the street. Use established crosswalks wherever possible.
	Lower your risk for serious eye injury by not wearing decorative contact lenses.
	Only walk on sidewalks or on the far edge of the road facing traffic to stay safe.
	Wear well-fitting masks, costumes, and shoes to avoid blocked vision, trips, and falls.
	Eat only factory-wrapped treats. Avoid eating homemade treats unless you know the cook well.
	Enter homes only if you're with a trusted adult. Otherwise, stay outside.
	Never walk near lit candles or luminaries. Be sure to wear flame-resistant costumes.

Expecting trick-or-treaters or party guests?

• Provide healthier treats for trick-or-treaters, such as individual packs of raisins, trail mix, or pretzels. For party guests, offer a variety of fruits, vegetables, and cheeses.
• Use party games and trick-or-treat time as an opportunity for kids to get their daily dose of 60 minutes of physical activity.
• Be sure walking areas and stairs are well-lit and free of obstacles that could result in falls.
• Keep candle-lit jack-o’-lanterns and luminaries away from doorsteps, walkways, landings, and curtains. Place them on sturdy tables, keep them out of the reach of pets and small children, and never leave them unattended.
• Remind drivers to watch out for trick-or-treaters and to drive safely.

Karate Kids in Phoenix support Children’s Book Drive

 Goshin Karate Hosts
“Seuss-a-Palooza” 

Gently Used and New
Children’s Book Drive

The gift of a book can foster the love of reading

 The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn the more places you'll go.... Those words by author Theodor Seuss Geisel – better known as Dr. Seuss – are at the heart of our first annual “Seuss-a-Palooza” Book Drive here at Goshin Katate and Judo Academy here at 64th Street and Bell Road.

We are hoping to collect 250 books to be given to St Vincent DePaul here in Phoenix Arizona

Reading is important for all children. For families who are struggling, these may be the first children’s books in their homes.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month

Domestic violence numbers grow,

so do ways to get help...

As the owner of one of the states longest running realty based Women's Self Defense course and Goshin Karate and Judo Academy here in Scottsdale Arizona,  I want to join the nation in recognizing October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month; the state is facing a sobering number....  There have been 67 domestic violence-related deaths in Arizona during the first eight months of the year 2011.

Paths to help

One aspect where help is especially vital is after a victim gets enough nerve to separate from a batterer, and that’s when their safety risk rises dramatically. At this point, the abuser ramps up the control tactics — financial restriction and threats which can fuel custody battles. We suggest that victims in immediate danger call 9-1-1 and request a call-back. An officer will offer a neutral setting in which to present options, offer information and discuss ways police can help.

These could include intervention, counseling, family referral to a local facility and/or to a victim witness program to assess circumstances and devise an comprehensive escape plan.

How to Get Help In Maricopa County If You Are A Victim of Domestic Violence Or The Person Committing Domestic Violence
By the Superior Court of Arizona in Maricopa County
If you are a victim or believe you may be a victim of domestic violence, or if you are the person committing or believe you may commit domestic violence, there is help available. There are many ways you can help yourself and many people available to help you. Read on to learn more about the things you can do to help yourself and to find out about the people who may be able to help you.
How You Can Help Yourself

• Call 911
• Call immediately if you believe that you are in danger of being physically hurt. Do not wait until you have been hurt.
• File an order of protection or injunction against harassment
• To order the person who is hurting you to stay away from you and so the police can arrest that person if he or she violated the order. However, an Order of Protection is for preventing domestic violence. It is not for child custody orders or preventing access or visitation to a child unless harm may result to the child or the acts of domestic violence involved the child.
• Leave the scene. No matter who you are, or where you are, or what the other person is doing. Leave. Go somewhere safe and peaceful to calm down and to protect you from being a victim of domestic violence, or from committing an act of domestic violence.
• Talk to a counselor. This person can help you with your own safety plan so you and your children feel that you can leave the person who is hurting you; or the counselor can help you if you are the person committing the domestic violence. Find out why you are hurting the other person and help you stop.
• Tell a friend about your problem to get support and help.
• Get help from the community. There are many places in the community that can help you.

People and Agencies Who Can Help You
Emergency Medical Services
Emergency rooms at hospitals or the fire department paramedics can help you with immediate physical injuries of domestic violence.
Call 911 now if you need emergency medical help from the fire department.

Police and Victim Services
The police help with domestic violence on the scene. Some police departments also offer "civil stand-by" that is when an officer goes with you to your home to help you get property owned by you or your children. A "civil stand-by" cannot be used to divide shared or community property. Call 911 now if you need emergency help from the police to protect you from domestic violence. Here are other services available to help a victim of domestic violence:

Emergency Shelters
Shelters are places where you, and in most cases your children, can go if you decide to leave and get away from the person who is hurting you. It is a safe harbor. The addresses of the shelters are kept secret so that the person who is hurting you cannot find you. In the shelters, you will have a safe place to stay, food, and often counseling, to help you and your children. Many shelters also have support groups and counseling services. However, the purpose of the shelters is to help prevent domestic violence. The shelters are not meant to stop access or visitation to a child unless harm may result to the child or the acts of domestic violence involved the child.
