	Human Kinetics
		In situations where the judoka feels more in control, he or she can hold on to the attacker to keep the attacker from hitting the ground too hard.
		In this situation, the judoka blends with the movement, using the momentum of the assault to lead the opponent into a throw.
		As a precursor to randori, the judoka practices moving with a partner, taking two or three steps in the appropriate direction for the application of the particular throw he or she wants to perform.

	The Martialist: The Magazine For Those Who Fight Unfairly
		Grudgingly excepting those who might have military or law-enforcement experience, the judoka complained that the innocent, naïve students of such instructors, foolishly assuming their teachers are imparting valid and tested knowledge, are in fact being taught by those who preach conjecture and theory only.
		What our well-meaning but uninformed judoka missed, in the course of his essay, was the fact that too few people today, be they outsiders looking in or "martial" artists practicing a traditional or nontraditional art or system, understand the purpose of the martial arts.
		The very people our judoka worries will dash themselves on legal or physical rocks after being taken in by the siren song of fl-clad novice combatives poseurs are the ones who, fearing for their physical well-being, turn to commercial strip-mall dojos and sports schools to learn what they mistakenly believe is applicable to real-world self-defense.

		Unfortunately, it has been relatively easy for a novice judoka to overhear such opinions; and it is still easier for the novice to condition his training by the blind acceptance of such poor advice.
		Each judoka differs in his learning ability, and it is difficult to generalize about when to begin kata study and when to expect a Judoka can attain the “using” stage.
		To most Judoka, and many inexperienced instructors, this “cooperation” has come to mean that tori is always a “winner,” and uke is going down to a well-deserved defeat.” It also comes to mean that uke, in his cooperation, must “jump” for tori, trying his best to make the whole performance look good.

	What is Judo?
		A good judoka, one who practices Judo, will first use timing and leverage to bring his opponent off balance and execute a throw.
		Once the judoka has thrown his opponent to the ground, he will use painful hold-down techniques, chokes, strangleholds, and armlocks to control and subdue the opponent.
		The main principles of Judo are "Maximum Efficiency" and "Mutual Welfare and Benefit." The goal of maximum efficiency teaches the judoka to use the least amount of physical strength necessary to throw an opponent.

	[No title]
		The only Judoka whose mat skills are subpar are those who train to turtle up and avoid newaza, which in my view is not in keeping with the spirit of Judo at all.
		Judoka have a huge assortment of effective submissions available to them, including many that some people mistakenly think were invented by BJJ (clock choke = okuri eri jime or koshi jime depending on variation, double anklelock counter to the rear naked = hiza tori garami, etc.).
		Also, if a Judoka gets behind his opponent, he has many options, several invented by Judoka or mostly unique to Judo, besides the direct choke (Eckersley roll to juji gatame, roll to jigoku jime, combination kataha jime to juji gatame, etc.).

	The weight-loss practices of Judoka (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		In order to assess the frequency, magnitude and methods of weight-loss, 165 judoka (male n = 123, average age 29 years and female n = 42, average age 22 years) completed a questionnaire relating to their weight-loss practices.
		Statistical analysis revealed the frequency, magnitude and methods of weight loss utilised by judoka, is the same as, or in excess of American Collegiate wrestlers.
		It would appear therefore, that the weight loss practices that have been utilised by judoka for many years will probably continue to be an integral part of the sport.

		But my understanding is that at some point, he had little difficulty with Judoka and therefore left from lack of interest--not that there wasn't a period of struggle intermixed.
		In fairness to the Judoka, Tohei did know their game and he was playing a game they didn't know at a very high level.
		None of this is meant to take away from Tohei's accomplishments, of course, a win is a win, and there's no way it could have happened "accidentally" so many times in a row, if the margin for error had been razor thin, and luck had simply been on his side.

		If Miresmaeili truly had the courage of his convictions, he would have stopped hiding behind his weight and simply told officials he did not want to sully himself on the mat against an Israeli.
		Maybe it should start by finding out if the judoka is being compensated by Iran, rewarded for blowing off his competition with the same bonus he would have been in line to receive had he won the gold medal.
		Iran's president already has said the judoka would be compensated for his stance.

		During a bow the head must not be tilted back, it should stay in line with the back or be dipped lower - you should not be watching your opponent.
		A groundwork bow is the same, only the hands must start on the thighs and be placed flat on the mat, about knee width apart, pointing together at roughly forty-five degrees.
		Often the first throw to be learned by a judoka.

	AikiWeb Aikido Forums - Tohei throwing Judoka in Hawaii?
		I don't think that the judoka's rank is as important as the fact that they were the five champions at their respective weight classes.
		What I was trying to get at was that in absence of video footage of the Tohei events, I would be much more interested in a re-telling of the match from someone who was not Tohei's students, or the student of any of the Judo guys.
		Since Smith is a big critic of aikido and japanese martial arts in general (he was a judoka at the time of this contest), it is particularly interesting to read how Tohei did in fact take on 5 good judoka and put on quite a show.

	Martial Arts Planet - Should a judoka start ju jitsu????
		As I have done judo and judo originated from ju jitsu it might be easier than doing karate or something like that, as I have all the throwing techniques which will make it easier.
		I was wondering if anyone had any advice if I should do it or not and if there are any judoka out there that have done this.
		It's not as easy a transition as you might expect, but I found it to be a worthwhile venture.

		Simplicity is state of having certain programmed options kept in readiness; this implies that the Judoka is not considering the vast range of potential moves or techniques, but rather a small subset of specific techniques designed to flow and adapt to an opponent's style.
