practice makes perfect?

Practice does not make perfect. "Perfect practice" makes perfect. Muscle memory is developed through repetition. If you continuously practice a technique in a sloppy or incorrect manner, you will develop your muscle memory in such a manner. That is why it is so important to practice under the supervision of a qualified instructor. The instructor can see the poor technique and help you correct it before it becomes bad habit. Train smart...See you at the dojo.

Introduction

I have been a student of martial arts since 1982. I have been instructing since 1994 and have been a martial arts school owner since 2002.

Hadaka Judo is the art of Judo performed without the use of the Judogi (traditional Judo uniform). Literally the name means, "Naked Gentle Way". However, the word "naked" in this case refers to "without the use of the Gi" as in the Judo technique, hadaka-jime, or "naked strangle".

Hadaka Judo is a useful tool in submission grappling, mixed martial arts, and self defense applications.

In this blog series, I will post useful tips and tricks for the perfomance of Judo without the Gi. If you have any questions, contact me at hadakajudo@gmail.com
