The ancestor of this popular type of martial arts is Kano Jigoro, who relied on the creation of ju-jutsu when creating his brainchild. Usually three schools of jiu-jutsu are called (in Japanese there are no syllables "ji" and "yiu"), which served as the basis: Seigo-ryu, Kito-ryu, Sekiguchi-ryu.
Kano Jigoro and Judo
A young, ambitious and very active person publicly stated that he was the creator of a new unique school that promotes the moral and moral education of a modern humane person. Advertising and victories in the competitions of 1889-1892 judoists with representatives of traditional schools of judo-jutsu made judo incredibly popular.
All the "effectiveness" of judokas was based on the fact that the most rigid and uncompromising techniques were forbidden for use in fights. And here, physical strength, endurance and other factors that influence the outcome of a sports competition, but not for a real battle to destroy the enemy, came to the fore. With various limitations, judo has degraded to the level of entertainment on the carpet.
Judo Technical Features
At the same time, judo demonstrates a fairly wide range of techniques used: 67 types of throws (nage-waza) and 29 methods of immobilization (kateme-waza), and further, on the basis of these, there are a myriad of options and techniques (hank-waza). If we talk about classical judo, then it is necessary to isolate the following sections:
- Kuzushi is preparation for a reception or loosening.
- Nage-waza - various throwing options using arms (te-waza) or legs (asi-waza) - this is from the position of the stance and is carried out over the shoulder, thigh, lower back or back. Throws are also performed lying on the back and on the side.
- Kateme-waza - captures. Moreover, they can vary in asphyxiating, withholding and painful locks.
- Separately, it is worth mentioning the topic of painful receptions (kansetsu-waza), levers and nodes. To use the lever in martial arts is to unbend a limb in a joint above its norm. A classic example is the grabbing of a hand and the subsequent impact on it with a lever on the elbow (juji-gateme).
- A knot is to twist a limb in a joint. The most striking example is the painful technique of Kimur or Ude-Garami.
It is clear that you can act on various joints and inflict severe injuries on the opponent, but in sports judo you can only work on the elbow.
- Ate-waza - punches. You can use your hands (ade-waza), but you can also connect your legs (asi-ate).
- In judo, there are also known methods of strangulation of two types: respiratory and blood.
At the competitions in Maracana on October 23, 1951, Kimura was able to hold the painful reception, which eventually brought him the famous victory over Helio Gracie, pretty exhausting the Brazilian, keeping him strangled. In a fainting state, Gracie made a mistake, which the Japanese immediately took advantage of.
The reception takes place in three phases. The first is the removal of the enemy from a stable position with the help of shocks, swings and twists (Kuzushi). The second is the preparation or creation of a situation and prerequisites for carrying out a mechanical action (Tsukuri). The third is the final one. This is, in fact, the reception itself (Kake).
The Steadfast Tin Soldier
The famous duel between one of the best students of the Kadokan judo school, Kimura Masahiko, and the founder of the modern Brazilian judo-jutsu school, Helio Gracie, took place on October 23, 1951. Kimura’s reception - a knot of the shoulder - eventually brought Victoria to the Japanese, but the bravery with which the Brazilian opposed was worthy of respect.
The Gracie family, like the judokas, considered themselves invincible. The duel was advertised and arranged pompously. Kimura, approaching the ring, saw the coffin, which was prepared for him by the caring Gracie. The pathos publicity stunt caused the Japanese only a smile. So in the atmosphere of mutual friendliness and camaraderie this contest began.
Kimura threw Halio in the ground, but the ring cover was unusual: in his native Japan, fights were fought on sand covered with straw, and here there were soft mats. Successful throws did not cause concussion and fractures in Gracie. This could not but annoy the representative of the humane "soft path" - the Brazilian still remained safe and sound.
Finally, after the next successful throw by Kimura, the opponents entered the ground - a tense, dynamic struggle began. Masahiko managed to take his opponent to strangulation, and Halio began to shake his head, trying to breathe oxygen. Straightening his left hand, he wanted to throw off a tenacious fighter. The Japanese grabbed the left wrist with his right hand and, twisting it, held the udogaras, which they would later call it - Kimur's painful technique.
Helio did not give up, even when his arm broke. Throwing a towel - Masahiko won by TKO. Kimura painful reception performed flawlessly. Only courage and pride did not allow the Brazilian to surrender: they remembered these two fighters as great.
Description of painful administration of ud-gara
How to do Kimura pain technique? The situation is considered when opponents are on the ground. The attacker is in a better strategic position: he is on top. Any attempts to flip or reset it are blocked. In this situation, you must:
• grasping the opponent’s legs, spread his arms to the sides (the opponent’s left hand is intercepted by the right armpit under the armpits);
• then the left hand, moving the opponent’s head to the side, penetrates into his axillary region, and then it is necessary to raise himself, leaning on the elbow of the right hand;
• then the left hand penetrates even deeper and grabs the attacker's hand by the left forearm, after which the defender grabs himself by the left biceps and, accordingly, the left hand grabs his right biceps;
• bringing the elbows together, the fighter infringes on the opponent’s hand, located on top, turning his body, makes an exit to the attacker;
• after that, the left hand is pressed as tightly as possible to itself, and the right one intercepts the wrist of the opponent. Then the left hand grabs the wrist of his right hand. As a result, the elbow joint of the enemy is bent at 90 degrees, and his limb starts up behind his back. Crunch of bones and screams of pain.
Kimura painful technique is very traumatic, and it must be performed under the guidance of an experienced instructor.
Conclusion
In modern sports, the technique has been used repeatedly. As an example, we can name the fight of Fedor Emelianenko and Mark Hunt, which brought victory to the Russian athlete. This once again proves its effectiveness. It is necessary to take into account that mastering any tricks requires the help of an experienced instructor and tremendous dedication in securing and mastering each stage of the action.
