Tired Of Losing? (you should be, if not, don’t read this)

Auto Date Thursday, September 24th, 2009

Guess What? LOSING SUCKS!!

I wish there was a better way for me
to say it but that pretty much sums
it up – Losing Sucks!

BUT HERE’S THE BIG QUESTION…..

And if you can eliminate the feeling
of watching the other person’s hand
being raised instead of yours or the
referee awarding the match to the
other person instead of to you or to
your students, would you?

Of course you would!

I mean really….. why should you lose
or get dominated when you don’t have to?

If you want to eliminate that feeling
and increase your gripping knowledge
and enhance your judo career, well,
you’re in luck.

Here’s The Deal….

The honest to goodness truth is that
learning how to gripfight costs money….

Well, let me be frank…..

It costs a whole heluva lot of money.

Or should I say, it used to.

======================
Here’s The Old Way Of
Learning How To Grip
Fight
======================

The previous way to learn how to become
a better gripfighter was to pay your
dues, take your lumps, travel half way
’round the world and back (several times)
and pick it up and learn as you go.

If you were blessed enough to run into
a great gripper, they may show you some
stuff, but more often then not, they
were on to the next tournament, hopping
on the next plane or just showing you
enough to get you off their backs.

Well, it’s no secret that Jimmy Pedro
has been on a tirade when it comes to
releasing quality information about
gripfighting.

Just recently he released his Grip To
Win Series which was chock full of
information and now he’s releasing
his Grip To Like A World Champion.

=======================
I’m telling you RIGHT
now. You don’t wanna
learn like that. It’s
painful and time
consuming.
=======================

Jimmy Pedro DOES NOT want you to spend
the hundreds of thousands of dollars
that he spent traveling and training
to learn how to grip fight.

Hell, I don’t want you too either!

Quite honestly it’s borderline ridiculous,

but Jimmy loves Judo and he loves helping
out the judo community.

And because he loves it so much he put
together a series where you WILL DISCOVER
how to:

•DOMINATE your opponents handedly
so people will be scrambling to
the edge of the mat to see your
“next” fight

•Absolutely ANNIHILATE the competition
and leave them scratching their heads
asking themselves, “What in the hell just
happened?”

•Lock your opponent down and put him in
“jail” inside of his own gi

•Make your opponent break out in a cold
sweat every time he sees you in a Judo
gi for fear that he may get “it” again –
all the while he doesn’t have a clue what
“it” is

•Right now enter into each fight with
the full understanding that your opponent
is only holding a “6-shooter” revolver
of gripping knowledge and you have a MP5
Submachine gun full of gripping knowledge
ready for battle!!!

•Easily outmaneuver and outsmart opponents
that are bigger than you, heavier than you
and stronger than you!

•Follow Jimmy Pedro’s easy to learn
step-by-step system and learn how to
grip fight, how to break grips, where
to put your hands and where not to put
your hands so that you will throw more
and get thrown less.

You’ll even learn how you can end a fight
in one fell swoop, without even breaking
a sweat if your opponent reaches out with
the wrong hand!

With the Gripfighting Information that
I’m going to give you for FREE in the bonus
Audio CD, you will be able to see a significant
improvement

in your judo and jiujitsu skills right
away.

======================================
Look, Jimmy Pedro is Pulling Back the
Curtain On His Judo Career and Finally
Revealing All the Gripping and Grip
Fighting Tidbits That He’s Never Been
Willing To Share Before
======================================

Here’s what you’ll get…..

•Complete gripping sequences and
explanations so that you have a full
understanding of what it is that you
are supposed to do

•The real deal on how to get and KEEP
the grip you want

•New strategies that you can keep for
yourself or teach to your students

•The inside skinny of how to win more
judo and jiujitsu matches

back, relax, without even leaving your
home and learn from one of the BEST GRIP
FIGHTERS ever!!!

•Expert tips and tricks for righty vs.
righty, lefty vs. lefty and lefty vs.
righty

•Secrets on how to set the pace of the
match

[The Truth] About Grip Fighting and Judo. Either You Want To Win Or You Don’t – PERIOD!

Auto Date Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

I’ve heard it many times and I
heard it today on the phone.

He said,

“My instructors just
continue to neglect teaching
us how to grip. They keep saying
that the Japanese have great
technique and that’s all we need.
It makes me so frustrated.”

I understood his pain and I told
him that I’m not sure what planet
that his instructors are on, but
the Japanese most DEFINITELY practice
kumikata (gripping) and they all
know how to do it well on the
internatonal level.

=================
If Yamashita and Douillet
had a Judo Match…Who’d Win?
=================

As a matter of fact, I was having
a discussion the other day about
who would win between Yamashita
and David Doulliet.

In my opinion, I believe that
Doulliet would win, but that’s
just my opinion.

The fact of the matter is this…

Judo has changed.

I’m not sure if it has changed
for the better or for the worse,
but it most certainly has changed.

And so have the grappling sports.

And if you want to have an inkling
of a chance of being successful in

[True Story] “Lloyd Irvin’s Judo Sucks!”

Auto Date Monday, September 21st, 2009

This message was brought to you by “The Grind

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

For those that do not know Lloyd Irvin, he is an extra-ordinary Jiujitsu, Judo and MMA Instructor. He has coached World Champions and Olympians. As a matter of fact when I was training Taraje Williams-Murray for the 2008 Olympics I had to call on the expertise of Lloyd Irvin on several occasions to provide reviews, video analysis, ground work strategy and movement drills for Taraje.

( hint, hint: http://www.RhadiFerguson.com/mastermind )

There was a time where Lloyd’s judo did suck and then there was a time when he won Two Masters National Championships and also was the selected by the United States Judo Federation as the International Coach of The Year when he was coaching me for the 2004 Olympics.

Lloyd went from sucking at Judo to being the “judo guy” in Brazilian Jiujitsu tournaments. After teaching Lloyd Judo and having him teach me Jiujitsu, I turned over the coaching responsibilities to him and had him coach me in Judo.

He got so good, and studied so much that I put him in the chair for domestic and international competitions.

================
Lloyd Irvin Coaches At
The Toughest Tournament
In North America!
================

The toughest Judo tournament in North America is the New York Open…bar none.

Every year there are numerous Olympians, Olympic Medalists, World Medalists and Olympic and World Champions.

In this video that YOU are getting ready to watch, you will see me fight against 2000 Olympian Ato Hand. For those of you that don’t know Ato Hand, he is a GIANT.

He is wayyyyy bigger than I am and his strength was definitely and issue. When we fought at the New York Open it was our rubber match. I beat Ato the first time we fought and then he beat me the second time we fought. That was back in 1998.

Now, I had years of Brazilian Jiujitsu under my belt and none other that Lloyd Irvin in my corner coaching me.

==============
Lloyd Irvin Gave Me
The Secret Technique,
The Night Before….
I was skeptical
==============

The night before this tournament and after scouting Ato Hand, Lloyd and a resident BJJ Instructor from Brazil told me that I could hit Ato with a move that would be so devastating and SHOCKING
that it would catch Ato off guard.

I had never done the move before. NEVER practiced it, but Lloyd assured me that it would work from the hours of scouting he had done on Ato.

Lloyd said, “I’m going to teach you the heavyweight version of the flying armbar”

YOU ARE GOING TO TEACH WHO? WHAT!!!

I was thinking…”you gotta be kidding me.” Then I kicked those thoughts out of my mind.

You have the TRUST the person in the chair. At all times. OR get them out of the chair (or corner).

I had NEVER done the technique before and had only practiced it about 3 or 4 times THAT EVENING!!

Howver, Lloyd Irvin assured me that it would work on anyone that straightened their arm. As a matter of fact, after this tournament, it really became my “go-to” move. I was known for my Morote Gari, but when you get my DVD Series “The Grind” you will see that my main move was Juji Gatame (the armbar).

Up to this point with Lloyd in the chair I was undefeated. So I wasn’t going to stop listening to him now. It was really weird. Nobody in the Judo world knew who this guy was and here he was sitting in the chair of the best tournament in North American soil with former Olympians and World Champions as coaches.

After winning a bunch of matches throughout the day and ending up in the bronze medal finals, I remember overhearing somebody say, “Who in the hell is that guy?”

The other person replied, “I dunno, some guy Rhadi brought here. I saw him warmup with Rhadi. His Judo Sucks!”

LOL!!!

============
Does Lloyd Irvin
Know Judo?
============

Well, I didn’t bring Lloyd to the tournament or let him coach me because he was good at Judo, he was in the chair because he KNOWS judo. He just so happens to be good at it too.  I think many people confuse medals with brains!! (that’s the golden nugget for the day!)

Big DIFFERENCE!!!!

He knows enough that he takes people down at WILL!! Because Lloyd KNOWS judo. Don’t ask him any names of throws.

Don’t ask him to do any pretty uchikomi.

And……. don’t ask him to count to “10″ in Japanese!

It ain’t gonna happen!

But I can tell what you can ask him…..

Just ask him, “What in the hell do I need to do to win?”

That is answer that he knows. He was my main training partner for 2 years and I was his.

That’s 3 times a day of training for 2 years at the elite level!! We could literally write a book about the days that we trained during those 2 years!!

So when he sat in the chair and gave me the secret the night before….. I knew… that his Judo didn’t suck.

And after you watch this video….. You’ll know too.

For more video and to get an in depth inside look at real competition and how moves I applied my “secret” technique all over the world, please pick up “The Grind” Today.

You will also clearly see how to perfectly blend Brazilian Jiujitsu and Judo and how to make it work in competition.

Strength Or Technique
================

The Strength vs. Technique debate is one that
is huge in the world of martial arts.

In sports like Judo and Jiujitsu there are some
very mis-guided sous out there who actually
believe that all that you need to do is your
sport if you want to be good.

That is pure BULLSUGAR!!

If you don’t understand that you NEED to
strength train and do it the right way you
are sadly mistaken and you will lose

Official Report for 2009 World Judo Championships by, Dr. Rhadi Ferguson

Auto Date Thursday, September 3rd, 2009

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

First and foremost, I would like to inform you that this is not a journal about my World Championship experience, this is a follow-up report based on the 2009 World Championships from my point of view, as a spectator, coach, former competitor and judo enthusiasts.

I made the 2005 Judo World Championships team for the United States but was unable to compete due to personal funding restrictions. It was an absolute joy to attend as a coach and enjoy several days of judo.

=============
Professionalism
=============

The first thing that I really noticed about these 2009 World Judo Championships is the professionalism that has been added to the sport. To be honest with you, I love it. Right now, even at the draws (bracketing for the weight classes), everybody is asked to be dressed formally. I think this is fantastic. If we are going to call ourselves professionals, we need to look like professionals. I really enjoyed the professional atmosphere of the draws. Also there was no yelling and screaming and everything was done in an orderly fashion. Sometimes being dressed appropriately makes people act appropriately.

I also really enjoyed watching the coaches during the event. Everyone had on either a suit and tie or their country’s official warm up suit. It was very orderly.

The one thing that I really was impressed with was the punctuality of everything. Things began on time, buses left on time, arrived on time, and the food services were on time. It was a great experience. Mr. Marius Vizer and his staff/committee have done all of us great service in terms of professionalizing the sport. It allows young children, even at the domestic and national level, to now look at the coaches in each of our home countries in a different light.

I also like it because it, in a subtle fashion, speaks to the importance of a coach. Now I don’t have to worry about being at a National Tournament and having some young player ask me to sit in their chair for the finals or semifinals. If I didn’t come with the appropriate dress, I can’t sit, and that player truly recognizes the importance of a coach, which does wonders for the coaching profession and allows us to really be placed in a professional light in front of the judo community.

==========
The Refereeing
==========

Okay, now I’m going to be honest. The reffing was very good. Here’s where I’m going to be honest. The reffing at the Cadet World Championships WAS NOT at the level at which one would expect, but at the 2009 Judo World Championships it was good. There are always some “bad calls”, biased decisions, etc.,. but overall it was good. I’ve been at tournaments where the conversation afterwards was about the refereeing. There were no such conversations which I was a part of at this tournament.

============
Conversation of
The Tournament
“The New Rules”
============

Okay, okay, okay.

The biggest conversation of the week was the new proposed rules by the International Judo Federation which will be tested at the 2009 Junior World Championships.

Here is my OFFICIAL STATEMENT. This is not a conversation that I’m starting on forum so that people can have a discussion. If you want to read that you can go here >>> http://judoforum.com/index.php?showtopic=39957&st=0

My OFFICIAL STATEMENT IS THIS: I am a coach. The rules are the rules. I will coach and let those who make the rules, make the rules. I don’t mind discussing the rules, talking about the rules and even poking fun at some of the rules in jest, but the rules are the rules. I will play by them abide by them and win within the set parameters. I’m a coach. Are the rules good or bad? Not my job to get into such a discussion as a coach. As person that also has a business that provides judo educational and combat sports educational materials to thousands of persons in different countries, I don’t mind having that discussion to let my patrons know that I am actually on top of the new developments in the sport. As a coach, I coach. That’s that. I have no time to complain. I’m spending my time trying to prepare.

The other day I was on the plane and I asked for a beverage. I was declined. I asked again later and was told that the cart would be coming through shortly. The third time I asked, I was acknowledged with some huffing and puffing and an attitude which was not commensurate with the purchase price of my ticket. Therefore, I immediately got on my Blackberry and constructed an email document, which I sent to the airline as a complaint.

Why am I telling this story?

Well, because, if I feel strongly enough about something, I will write to the person or persons in charge directly. Otherwise, I will just converse about it and go about my way. I DO NOT FEEL STRONGLY about this rule change enough to sit down and write a letter to the International Judo Federation. If you do, I would suggest you write them a letter, if not, just get the stuff of your chest over a beer, or on a blog or on a forum to have a discussion. As far as I’m concerned I don’t have any problem with the IJF. They have done some wonderful things for many countries and individuals that many of you probably have no idea about. They are growing judo in many areas and trying to expand the delivery of our product, which is judo, in the homes of more people. Their marketing strategy and plan is similar to Obama’s Healthcare plan. It may work and it may not. Who knows? The key is that doing nothing is not an option. The way which has been selected is “the way” for right now. It’s our sport, we have to embrace it and keep moving. That doesn’t mean that we can’t bellyache about, but it does mean that we have to bellyache and then get over it and get on with the business of doing, promoting, teaching and training judo.

Those are the facts.

This weekend I have a course called The Anatomy of a Judo Match. I’ll be teaching. I’d love to have you there >>> http://rhadiferguson.com/The_Anatomy_of_Judo_Match.html

=========================================
THE ANATOMY OF A JUDO MATCH COURSE
September 05th from 8am-10am EST
September 06th from 8am-10am EST
September 7th from 9pm-10pm EST (Q&A)
=========================================

So, as I said….as for me. I’ll be teaching (…..and stirring up a bit of discussion which is good for business).

==============
The Judo At The
World Judo Championships
==============

Whew!!!!

The Judo Was Absolutely Fantastic!!!!

I saw some spectacular stuff. The Mongolians have perfected the use of Morote Gari in competition. The Japanese teams did very well, but the men did not come away with a World Champion, however a young woman from Columbia became the World Champion.

Teddy Riner, who is really an outside linebacker in the National Football League – he just doesn’t know it yet, is absolutely phenomenal. His understanding of the gripping game at that age is awesome. The best gripping match that I witnessed was for third place in the 100kg weight class when Japan was competing against Kazakstan (or Ukraine). It was outstanding. They stood toe to toe and the Japanese player was just dominating him. For individuals that understand kumikata, it was a sight to behold. Jimmy Pedro and I talked about it later that evening over coffee while discussing the release of his Newaza Coaching Program in 2010.

In terms of the newaza…. I would have definitely like to see more time in newaza. I just think that matte is called way too early and sometimes it’s called in the middle of moves developing. The refs are not allowing the individuals to actually fight on the mat which is what newaza is. And, the development of a move can have many steps or just a few, if the steps which are being displayed are not part of the ref’s mental schema then matte is called because the referee has no clue at that which he is watching.

And once again…. “The eyes can only see what the mind can comprehend.” So what we have are frustrated fans who have been educated via youtube, and UFC and MMA and jiujitsu, the gracies, etc.,. who can see things that the refs seem to be missing. As a black belt in Brazilian jiujitsu I can tell you that it’s frustrating to see matte called when a young man is trying to adjust his sankaku triangle to make it tighter. But it happens.

==============
The Best Judo Player
At The World Championships
==============

Without a doubt, and hands down, the 66kg Mongolian and the first Judo World Champion of his country Hashbaatar Tsagaanbaatar – http://www.judovision.org/?p=5583

This dude is a stone cold BEAST!!! And has the cardiovascular conditioning of Lance Armstrong. He beautifully displayed the current direction of judo which is the grappling, wrestling and gripping techniques along with excellent positioning. I don’t think that he will fare well when and if the current rules are enacted; but nevertheless, it was a privilege to see him in action at the World Judo Championships.

===========
Coaching
===========

Attending the Judo World Championships as a coach was an honor and a privilege. It was an honor to coach the athletes of the Bahamian Team. They did as well as could be expected at this level of competition. The World Championships are the equivalent of the SuperBowl (for those that need such a reference point). I’m not really exactly sure how I am going to get the athletes in the Bahamas to this level soon. It is going to take some time. A lot of time and a lot of money. Whew!! Right now we have to make a decision if we want to put all of our eggs into one basket and support a few players that we think have promise or if we want to utilize our human and financial resources to grow judo and build a base so that we can have a group of athletes to select from for 2016. It’s tough because everybody wants to win right now. Heck, I know I do. But the reality of the situation is that winning right now is possible with an unlimited budget, but with some of the financial constraints in place its not and right now its just not wise to put all of the money into one or two athletes when the Bahamas is looking to be a force to reckon with in 2016. Watching the young woman from Columbia gave the young folks from the Bahamas some hope. Her victory let them know that it is possible to travel and train and to achieve excellent in the sport while coming from a small island.

I truly believe that 15 year old Cynthia Rahming has what it takes to be a World Champion, but that’s a discussion for another time.

===========
The Cuban Coach
Beitia…
===========

When I saw him the first question that he asked me in spanish was, “Did you see me in my coat and tie?”

We laughed! Even he was happy to be in a coat and tie.

===========
Kosei Inoue
===========

Speaks great English. I was really surprised. I’m kinda of embarrassed that I don’t know Japanese now.

===========
Udo Quellmalz
===========

Absolutely fantastic coach and it was a pleasure to sit down and speak with him.

============
Neil Adams
============

Probably the coolest dude in Judo today. He introduced me to his wife and kids. They are cute lil’ buggers.

============
Winston Gordon
============

Cool cat. He seemed very frustrated after the Worlds, but is taking it all in stride and is looking forward to getting back to training. I think he has some more good years in the tank, but he knows as all athletes know, that the tank is getting low. I just really think that this dude has an Olympic Medal in him. I hope that his country invests in him and gets behind him. He’s a superb athlete and a freak of nature. He just has to get in the groove at the next worlds or Olympics and get in that sweet spot that we affectionately call “the zone”.

===========
Peter Cousins
===========

One freaking tough dude. And pretty funny too.

===========
Khabarelli
===========

I finally got to meet Khabarelli after all these years. He and Robert Van De Walle have been my judo icons.

============
Lesson of the World
Championships
============

When at the world championships, do not go to the museum. Watch the World Championships.

============
Best Throw of the
Tournament
============

I’m not sure but I remember the 73kg player from Russia Isaev throwing somebody like he was in the WWE. It was phenomenal. I do know this…..over 50% of the matches were won by ippon and that is some exciting judo.

I also know that without the koka, there are more golden score matches :-/ (bring the koka back). 3 more minutes of misery is not worth it.

=============
Closing
=============

Go here >>> http://rhadiferguson.com/Martial_Arts.html <<< and get every gripfighting product available. If you are going to play judo at a high level YOU ARE GOING TO NEED IT. Don’t think you are too good for it. I spoke with Ole Bischoff…Olympic Champion Ole Bischoff and he purchased the Grip To Win Audio CD Series that Jimmy Pedro and I did together, so please understand, this is good top notch quality information.

If there is one thing that I can tell you…. it’s this. Judo survives or dies based upon you… the reader of this email. If you don’t invite people to practice your sport, as you invite people to visit your church or go out for drinks, the sport will die. You are the best salesperson for judo….YOU.

Invite your friends to practice. Invest your dollars in tournaments and products so that the Judo industry grows as a whole. Train, travel, and fellowship. Visit BJJ clubs and ask them to visit your Judo club.

If you are an instructor, create classes for beginners and those that want to compete. If you don’t have anymore judo knowledge to teach, get it or at the worse case, create a conditioning class to prepare students for elite competition. I have several clubs all over the World using my workout as a conditioning class. You can use it too if you like, heck, its free and doesn’t cost anything >>> http://www.TheBodyWeightWorkout.com <<< Just with that alone you can create another class or Judo conditioning class in the morning and better prepare your players and generate more dollars for your dojo.

Grow the sport! Grow the sport.

Don’t tell me about what the IJF is doing. Tell me about what you are doing.

We can all sit back and complain or we can work to grow the sport.

As for me…….I’m working.

I just got in from Holland about 2 days ago and I’m trying to get over the jet lag. I’m really not that tired, but my body is just sore from the plane. I’m really not sure why. Maybe its from being cramped up on that plane and really not being able to move much.

I try to move around as much as possible, but the flight attendants are always telling me to have a seat. It’s super irritating.

One of the most lethal techniques available to judo players will probably be no more.

This is ABSOLUTELY great if you practice Brazilian Jiujitsu. Now the techniques which judo will abandon will make your game even stronger than before. If you are a Brazilian Jiujitsu Practitioner and you want to know how you can achieve the dominant position after the takedown by utilizinng Morote Gari appropriately and effectively, then you are in luck.

Just boogie on over to http://www.MoroteGariDVD.com and get your copy of “Ugly Judo 101: Morote Gari” Today.

And remember one man’s trash is another man’s treasure!!!!
