Introduction
============

Many people have seen the Judo Crusader in action and quite frankly they are in awe of the Judo Crusader’s super explosive strength, speed and super powers. They are in awe so much that they start to believe that the Judo Crusader only knows how to use his ‘super powers” and doesn’t know judo. So the Judo Crusader had to dig up some film to show his fellow crusaders that he does indeed fly to different cities and shows people how to do “actual judo” throws like taiotoshi, uchimata and haraigoshi.

Ronda Rousey WINS Silver Medal at the World Championships!!

Affter moving up a weight class and coming up close, but not actually showing what everyone knows that she could do, Ronda Rousey finally broke through the veil and entered into the realm as one of the best Judo Female Judo Players in the World.

After her stellar win, I had an opportunity to speak with her coach Jimmy Pedro. He was super proud of her and so am I. 

My interview with Jimmy is below:

Great Question and I’ll be glad to answer?

============
Ryan Reser
============

Ryan Reser is one of the slickest judo players that I’ve seen. He’s beaten some of the best Judo players in the world including a former World Champion and an Olympic Medalist.  What used to get Ryan in trouble a couple years back was that his fitness levels was not on par to play 7 or 8 matches in one day, which is necessary at the 73kg weight class.

Ryan has since fixed this problem and has been in impeccable shape in the past 2-1/2 years.

Pros of Ryan Reser………

He’s tricky, he’s hard to throw, and if he’s “Hot!!” He’s going to win. I don’t care if its the World Championships, the Moscow Super A Tournament or the Olympics.

Cons of Ryan Reser……

If he can’t get things going in the beginning of the day. He’s gonna have a short day.

My prediction is a top 7 finish definitely. I would love for Ryan to put a medal around his neck. He’s definitely worked for it.

===========
Travis Stevens
===========

I’ve seen this dude fight on several occasions. I’ve never really talked with him, but I’m SUPER impressed with his toughness.  This is a kid who I would love to provide some strength and conditioning consult to because I believe he can improve his strength in so many ways and I believe the added knowledge base on training along with what he’s receiving on the judo side from Jason Morris would help him tremedously.

I would also like to see him move around and spend a little more time in Colorado Springs so that he and Ryan could work out together and so he could pick up what Eddie Liddie has to offer. I’d like him to spend some time in Massachussetts so that he could pick up on what Jimmy Pedro has to offer and combine all of that with what Jason has to offer.

He’s definitely the new hot kid on USA Judo’s block. He stands to make some noise at the Worlds after his Pan Am Games victory and win over 2004 Olympic Bronze Medalist Flavio Canto.

I think that Travis will find the World Championships stage a little nerve racking but because its in the same location where he had a successful Pan Ams debut, he’ll find comfort in that.

I see Travis Stevens making the 2008 Olympic Team and also finishing 7th or 9th at the Worlds. With a better finish at the Olympics.

I hope he doesn’t make the mistake of spending all of his time in Europe from Jan. to April.   He’s a grinder who’s in great shape. Adding some newaza to his game and some much needed strength development (not that he’s not already strong, he can become paralyzing strong where his opponents can’t move) can greatly improve his chances at a medal in Beijing.

========
Rick Hawn
========

I like Rick, but quite honestly, he got ran out of the 81kg weight class due to his inability to change his style.  He’s too small and undersized for the 90kg weight class at this time. In order for him to make some noise at 90kg. He’s gonna need to take off the months of November and December. Lift twice a day. Get on a good diet. NOT RUN or do Cardio. And use January through April to get back in shape at his newfound weight, while eating and lifting in the manner which he needs to in order to maintain the weight.

I was an undersized 100kg player who was VERY strong. Rick is an undersized 90kg who is very strong at 81kg.

My prediction.  Rick needs to lift, because Brian Olson is coming. Worlds prediction 2-2 or 1-2.

Rick CAN fix his current situation and problem, but he needs to go to an EXPERT who can fix it.

That’s all for now.

Please understand that these posts are for entertainment and they are not prophetic.

Today, we’ll let the video do the talking.

I thought you all might enjoy this.

Take care – The Judo Crusader

It Was The Closest Thing
To Legal Stealing That You’ll
Ever See
————————-

Last night during UFC 75 I watched an exciting show. But I also watched something that made me sick to my stomach. The sport of Mixed Martial Arts is on its way to becoming the most viewed sport in the world. I truly believe that it will reach such status in the next couple of years but it won’t get there if what happened last night continues to happen.

Right now the general public is very skeptical when it comes to sports – especially sports where referees and judges have a lot of say in the winner.  Look, just recently the NBA had a huge scandal where a ref was betting on the games that he was working, Boxing matches seemed to be fixed at one time or another, and NFL players play the game knowing exactly what the point spread is for every game.  This taints sports so much that it is actually and was actually refreshing to the sports enthusiast that a sport like Mixed Martial Arts has come along where you can damn near clearly see who won and who lost because the sign of a good ass kicking is universal.  Well that was until last night when……..

Michael Bisping vs.
Matt Hamill
———————-

Michael Bisping fought Matt Hamill in what will go down as one of the worst refereed fights in the history of sports and sports entertainment.  Michael Bisping is from England and UFC 75 was held in England.  So from the start of the fight Matt Hamill knew that he would have to bring the fight to Michael. And that is exactly what he did. In the first round he beat Michael within inches of his life, in the second round he beat him rather soundly and the third round was a toss up.  When the match was over, it was CLEAR to everyone that watched it that Matt won the fight. But the decision went to Michael Bisping.

It was an embarrassing moment for the UFC and very sad for Matt Hamill. Personally, the Judo Crusader felt so bad for this young man that he wanted to cry. It was an outrage. I know what it feels like to train your butt off and to get robbed by a bad decision and my heart goes out to that young man.

I for one am not going to put up with the UFC having to many decisions like this in the future. If this continues to happen, I will choose to spend my time watching something else. The last thing that I want to do is watch a fixed Professional Wrestling Match. And if that’s what the UFC is going to offer, then I’m out.

I really like MMA, but I don’t enjoy cheating and Matt was cheated.

The World Judo
Championships
———————

Today the United States delegation left for the World Judo Championships in Rio de Janiero Brazil. Some individuals went over there a week early, like Valerie Gotay (in order to get used to the surrounding because there really is no adjustment for time differences).  Taraje Williams-Murray left today and he seems to be very upbeat and in good spirits. 

It seems like this world championships will be a very beneficial one for USA Judo.  It is my belief that the US Delegation will bring home 2 medals on the women’s side and 2 medals on the men’s side.  I truly believe that this will be the case and I think that this team has the ability to do it.  I also believe that there will be 4 divisions total that will be first round clowns, there will be 2 top seven finishes and the rest of the people will do okay.

———————
Marina Lambert
———————

The youngest player, at 15 years of age, on the US Team is Marina Lambert.  Marina placed 5th at the Pan American Games and in her first Judo World Championship team she is looking to do some big things. The great thing about Marina is that she has a very long career in front of her and she is very blessed and privileged to have an opportunity to get some great international experience at such a young age.

The Judo Crusader hopes that she gets out of the first round. A win at the worlds would be huge for her.

———————–
Justin Flores
———————–

The Judo Crusader believes that this tournament is going to be the BREAKOUT tournament for Justin Flores. I know I’m going out on a limb here but I believe that if this dude gets hot, he can find himself in the later round in the day. I certainly hope so. He trains hard and he really needs to put a nice cap on a very tough year.

———————
Taraje
———————

Taraje says that he’ll medal.  We’ll see.  I, for one, believe that he will. Taraje walks outta the worlds with a medal. Ronda walks out with a Gold, Valerie Gotay walks out with a medal, and Marti Malloy leaves with a top 7 finish.

These are not my predictions. I’m not a prophet. This is just what I believe will happen and what I want to happen. I certainly hope that these things come to pass.  The United States has been trying to make some headway in the past couple of years. I hope that this is the time that we will be able to see some rewards from the labor.

Take care.

The US Open, but not
the Judo One….
==============

I know you are thinking…. “What in the
hell does Venus Williams have to do
with Judo?”

Well, be patient and I’m explain it.

Last night I wathced Venus Williams
come back from being down by a set
at the US Open and she came back
with fire and fury.

Being a heluva an athlete is good.

Being smart is a bonus.

Being a good tennis player is a blessing.

But winning over and over and over and over again
without actually playing as much tennis as everyone
else on the tour is REMARKABLE.

Many people often complain about Venus and Serena
and their tennis schedule. Some think that they
should play more tennis, that they NEED to be
more serious about the game, that they  need
to practice more, that they need to play a
fuller schedule.

But the honest truth is this….

If Venus Williams NEVER PLAYS ANOTHER game of
tennis, she will still go down in history
as one of THE BEST Tennis Player’s ever!

Furthermore, she is in phenomenal shape
and has the mental toughness of some of the
best athletes that I’ve ever witnessed.

If there is anything that you should notice
when Venus plays is her ability to focus
even when she is down by a set or a couple
of games.

She has an uncanny ability to BELIEVE that
she can and will win the match.

This process is the ability to think accurately.

If you want to be a high level grappler or a
productive athlete or coach, then you will
need to incorporate the process of accurate
thinking in your practice regimen.

If you want to make huge leaps in your judo
and grappling career then let me show you
how –> http://www.accuratethinking.net
