Corporate Judo Workshop

Overview

The first half of a judo workshop does not teach throwing — it teaches falling. This section, called ukemi, is the foundation of judo and is the part of the workshop with the highest practical value in a corporate group: falling safely is the one martial arts skill that is useful outside the sport.

Why there is no striking

There are no punches or kicks in judo. That is a decisive advantage in a corporate setting: colleagues do not strike one another, and the techniques work through grip and balance. The contact is close but involves no impact.

Kuzushi: breaking balance

The principle at the centre of judo is not overpowering an opponent but breaking their balance and using their direction. A large participant, at the moment their balance goes, can be controlled by someone markedly smaller. This is the moment corporate groups talk about most, and the workplace parallel is discussed in the close.

How the programme runs

• Ukemi. Side, back and forward falls, on mats, starting from low positions.
• Grip (kumi kata). Taking the lapel and sleeve of the judogi; distance and stance.
• Breaking balance. Weight transfer in eight directions, with a partner, at slow pace.
• One technique. A single basic throw is taught and applied under supervision.

Before booking for a mixed group

Judo is built on gripping, so partners are in close contact throughout. As with the MMA workshop, this is worth thinking about when the group is drawn from several countries and you cannot survey who is comfortable with it. Participation is voluntary and a non-contact flow through ukemi and balance work is defined for anyone who prefers it — but if most of the group would choose that flow, karate or boxing is the better booking.

Participation conditions

Mats are mandatory. Jewellery, watches and glasses are removed and nails are checked. Partners are matched by similar build. Participants with neck, shoulder or lower back conditions can join the ukemi and balance work without entering the throwing section.
