The third is the testimony of Takashi Okada (Associate Professor, Nippon Sport Science University), who was the head of the physical fitness strengthening department of the Judo All Japan Men’s Team during the time of Director Inoue. What is Inoue’s “genius” revealed by Okada, who was at the center of the strength training that was fully adopted by the Inoue system? (To # 3 / # 1, # 2, # 4 8 times in total)
――In the Japanese judo world, there has been a long-standing idea that “the power of judo is applied by judo,” and this was called “judo power.” However, former director Kosei Inoue did not depend on that alone. It can be said that we actively adopted weight training and partially denied that judo ability, but in reality, was judo ability an illusion?
Takashi Okada (hereinafter referred to as Okada)It’s not an illusion, it’s an ideal. It wasn’t without anyone who could embody it. Mr. Tadahiro Nomura, who won the Olympics for the third time in a row, said that training was mostly “climbing a rope”. There is such an example. Because you don’t do weights, you can rest your muscles. If you don’t have to do the weight, you shouldn’t do it. It makes your muscles tired.
In the first place, there are many things to do in judo. You have to do standing skills, ground fighting, and research the other person. I don’t even have time for free. What’s more, if you reach out to the weights, your life can be strained. Due to lack of sleep, the nervous system, muscles, and internal organs do not recover, and mental stress accumulates. Then, the next day, the performance of the lesson will drop. It becomes a vicious circle more and more. Originally, I want athletes of that level to sleep for about 10 hours every day. In the old days, weights may not have been necessary. The world’s competitive population and level should not have been as high as it is now. However, as we develop as we do today and the way we fight becomes more sophisticated, we must build muscle efficiently in a limited amount of time. That’s why I think I’ve turned to the direction of doing it.
–Judo power is an image of a “staple food” that is nourished by ordinary meals. The weight is an image of “predation” where you can quickly get nutrition with supplements. Is that so?
OkadaThat’s right. Judo alone has muscles. To be precise, it sticks slightly. There are two benefits to building muscle with judo alone.
