    I was reading a late 1920's Japanese judo book this week, and it has entire chapters devoted to solo technical drills. These included osotogari, ippon seionage, and others. Mostly placing the hands in simulated positions of gripping uke, and then stepping through the motions of the technique. Right, back, left, back..... repeat.....

    I've used this in instructing some students, but can't recall if I've ever seen these in an English judo book. Not just illustrations of the moves, but rather specific drills teaching specific throws.

    Anyone know of examples?

    I am not entirely sure if this is what you mean, but there is tandoku-renshu i use for O-soto-gari where you hop on one leg reaping while use the hands as you would with uke, still hopping on the same place. Not only does it require some technique, it is also very tiresome. I really enjoy this exercise while waiting my turn when we are not even numbers in the dojo.

    Interesting - that's the sort of exercise I meant.

    Perhaps a small point, but in this one he doesn't get the upper body involved. It's just hand and leg, mostly.

    'tandoku renshu' refers to any solo practice - shadow kata, shadow randori, tai sabaki practice (both stand and on the ground), use of cables or rubber-bands for uchikomi. Tandoku-renshû 単独練習 (solo practice) is the opposite of sôtai-renshû 相対練習 (exercise with a partner).

    Tandoku Renshuu, right?

    Go through the motions for the throw or groundwork solo...that's about it.

    That would include various drills using the wall for Osoto Gari, Uchi Mata, Harai Goshi, Ouchi Gari, Kouchi Gari. For the latter two, using a wall (facing wall) is a good way to get practice keeping the hips square during the entry. It gives a reference point...

    People seem to forget that tandoku renshû is also a crucial way of training for kata. One of my teachers hammered on this, rejected the excuse when his students used to complain that they couldn't practice kata enough because they didn't have a a good partner of the same weight and rank. My teachers would then promptly show the entire nage-no-kata, first as tori, than as uke, all by himself. It was spectacular and contained far more spirit than any performance by any couple you commonly see today !

    Due to my lack of training partners for kata, I did that very thing for Nage no Kata and Katame no Kata for shodan, nidan, and sandan.

    The uke part looks pretty strange...

    Put some light weights ... 3 to 5 lbs maximum ... in your hands and perform the entire kata exactly as you would with hands up ... pushing, pulling, heaving, etc. Kind of changes one's perception of endurance about half way through uchimata if you do it right.

    Heaving? No heaving in my kata, sir! Only centered movement on my part, uke does all that sweaty, physical stuff !

    Heaving, I like that word heaving, even if it is effortless heaving of uke, even if most of the heaving I see this days comes from over-active 20-something stomachs while I am yelling "heave over the rail, not down the stairs, we don't have a hose that reaches that far!"

    NBK and I agreed that we both like the feel of the word "defenestration" as well ... which involves a different but so far imaginary kind of heaving ... useful fantasization while doing tandoku renshu.

    P.S. - the USJF kata conference is in Boise next year ... any chance of you going down-State to join it?

    It's a possibility. I'm not a member currently of any US judo organizations. However, I do know a couple of great brew pubs in Boise...

    What does one do at a USJF Kata Conference anyway ?

    It's mostly a superficial and quick review of the 7 common kata of Kodokan judo. Tends to be divided into two groups ... "who knows what comes next?" ... the people that do and the people that don't. Just a nice way to meet new judoka from around the country who are interested in studying kata ... if not just to get a certificate of participation for their next promotion. Everyone demonstrates every kata ... at least in part.

    Some relatively influential people in US judo often show up. Good chance to share a few meals, shake a few hands, talk about "who do you know that I know." Among yudansha, it's probably a unique opportunity to do so without the pressure of coaching or fighting the next day.

    I'll check it out on the JF website. It would be nice to meet you and perhaps get back into the US Judo scene a bit. If I can show up I'll be your uke.

    Talking about books, some of the Ippon Books serie include Tandoku renshū in the form of Hitori uchikomi: Nakanishi Hidetoshi's edition for Seoi nage, Jean-Luc Rouge's for Harai goshi, Yamashita Yasuhiro's for O soto gari, and Sato Nobuyuki's edition for other Ashi waza, at least.
