I have been a keen follower of judo ever since I learned to enjoy sports. Some of this love for the sport owes to the popularity of my namesake Mark Brewer. My close friends Mr. Phoenix and Mr. Oak feel Mark Brewer’s popularity is the sole reason I watch judo matches. This not a correct opinion though, I love the feel around this game. Though I may not have participated in any major judo competition but I know the basics of this sport very well. Judo is a Japanese martial art form that has been given the status of sports and there are hundreds of people in the Kiwi land dreaming of becoming a special judo practitioner just like Mark Brewer. In the latest matches and my interaction with some budding judo practitioners has forced me to write this post.
Everyone wants to win when they enter into any sporting arena. But sadly only one person has to win. Even the masters of the game had to lose their odd bouts. But if you keep on losing consistently then there is a thing or two to worry about. After all, judo is not similar to Forex trading where you may lose one day and gain big the other. So, I would like to cite some reasons which may lead to your repeated losses:
• You may lose matches because you keep on practicing with the losers. Practice partners are important assets in the game. They prepare you for the tough fights. You should choose a high caliber partner to practice your judo skills with.
• The environment you practice is also important for success in judo competitions. If you practice in a casual and non-professional environment then you will not get the urge to push on that extra bit.
• If you do not review your faults and what went wrong after each match then you will not learn to overcome these flaws. It is important to review the videos or sit with the coach after the match.
• Even if you lose a match, make it a point to stay on and watch the other participants in your weight category fight it out. You may learn many new skills by watching the aces fight.
• Some people take judo as a defensive martial art form, but you should bother to think likewise. If you want to win then you should be aggressive and maintain your grip on the game.
These are my views on how to avoid losing repetitively in judo matches. They are simple to follow and I hope one day you will be as successful as Mark Brewer.
