The Art of Being First Class

柔道で立技で相手を投げる為には最初に相手の体勢が崩れている事、そして崩れた相手に対して自分の身体を投げ技の形に作って、技を掛け決まります。

In judo, in order to throw an opponent in a TACHI-WAZA technique, the first step is to make sure that the opponent is in a collapsed position, and then to form your own body into a throwing motion against the collapsed opponent.

「崩し」「作り」「掛け」の３つのステップが投げ技を決める大切なプロセスです。

The three steps of "break,（KUZUSHI）”、 "make,（TSUKURI）” and "hang（KAKE）” are important in the process of deciding on a throwing technique.

崩しは投げる前に相手（受け）のバランスを崩そうとするのが特徴。相手を引き出したり、押し出したりする事で前後、左右、前隅、後隅の重心を偏らせる事

Kuzushi is characterized by an attempt to unbalance the opponent (uke) before throwing. By pulling out or pushing out the opponent, the center of gravity of the opponent is shifted to the front, back, left or right, front corner or rear corner.

作りは崩しの直後で、取が受けを投げる「掛け」にまで身体の体勢を作っていく事が特徴。背負投、内股、体落等柔道の投げ技で投げに至るまでのフォーム。

It is characterized by the way in which the body is positioned immediately after the collapse and before the tori throws the uke ("kake"). Forms for throwing in judo throwing techniques such as seo-nage, uchi-mata, and tai-oshi.

掛けは投げそのものを特徴とする最終段階。受けの相手を畳に向かって投げる最終局面です。

Kake is the final stage featuring the throw itself. It is the final phase of throwing the receiving opponent toward the tatami.

1月30日、2月6日と２週に渡りチューブで「崩し」、「作り」、「掛け」の動きに必要な筋力をトレーニング方法をお伝えしています。

On January 30 and February 6, I will be teaching you how to train the muscle strength needed for the "collapse," "create," and "hang" movements with tubes.

チューブトレーニングでは多くの皆様が身体をさばくトレーニングだけになってしまっています。

In tube training, many of you are only training your body to work out.

この動画では「崩し」「作り」「掛け」の３局面に分け、個々の動きを意識してそれぞれの局面で力を発現できるようなトレーニングとなっています。

In this video, the training is divided into three phases: "collapse," "make," and "hang," so that you can be aware of your individual movements and express your power in each phase.

今回ご紹介した様に、ちょっとしたトレーニングの工夫で、技のパフォーマンスが劇的に向上していく事を視聴者の皆様には感じて欲しいと思います。

I hope the audiences will be able to feel the dramatic improvement in the performance of the techniques with a little bit of training, as I have shown in this video.
