The three responses in judo technique

In excitation and message transfer, a gap of time, such as a physical sound, takes place between the incentive and the contraction of the muscles. This time gap is called response time. It can be used to your advantage in your judo technique.

Evaluation of the use of these three responses in judo:

a. unconditional reflex action

Since this reflex action has nothing to do with the joint nerve center is unconditionally, it tends to be the result of a certain stimulus.In judo and boxing, for example, if your opponent a move toward your face, you are apt to close your eyes.You must not do this. If you close your eyes you won't see him for the time being. This temporary blindness of yours gives him a good chance to attack you. This response must therefore be controlled by a continuous training.

b. conditioned reflex action

Since this sort of response rarely problems the joint nerve center and comes after long acclimatization to the same stimulus, it is similar to the unconditional reaction. In judo, this reflex is not always useful because other stimuli in certain techniques can be confused. Your opponent can take advantage of this reflex by a feint.So your joint nerve center first of all, the various circumstances correctly analysed and suitable to send messages to the different areas.

c. response achieved by practice

If you respond after judgment is made in the joint control centre, you have all the certain incentives.Comment by practice achieved allows you to practice correct pronunciation in each case.It is necessary in the study of all techniques. it is not useful in a match unless the response time almost to an unconditional reflex action is shortened. This can be achieved through continuous training over a long period of time.

In judo the third type of comment (comment by practice) is the best of the three, and the second type (conditioned reflex action) comes next. the first type (unconditional reflex action) do not need a lot of use in judo.

We have three types of short response time.Let's now studying some cases in which the response time is longer. If you are studying, judo technique must take into account these cases.

Nine cases in which reaction time longer:

The following are typical situations or circumstances in which the time taken for response longer:

1. where a not trained in judo.
2. where a person's mind or body is tired.
3. where a is scattered.
4. When an emotional is angry.

These cases, except the first, usually occur in everyday life. Even if your opponent is not proficient in judo, he will expose these weaknesses in you.

Then let's see how to use the time that your opponent can extend responds:

5. when your opponent his attention to one movement, is his response time on another incentive long. for example, if you try to apply hane-goshi in the left direction, your opponent will try to defend themselves in that direction. at this time will probably be confirmed his attention in that direction only. therefore, longer response time in the opposite direction.

6. where stimuli are combined, the time longer. If your opponent know you hane-goshi of both sides can apply, he must be ready for an attack from both sides. therefore, longer response time.

7. when we have a movement by indirect sight seeing, the response time for that traffic longer. deleting an object, you will see some parts clearer than the others because the Central fovia of the retina, the image of an object, but the other parts not. If you're opponent of a direction image in which your movement cannot be clearly created attacks, are therefore long response time.

8. If your opponent inhales, his reaction time longer than when he exhales. we can exert a stronger force than when we exhale when we breathe. While inhaling, your opponent will find it hard to defend itself against the attack, whether he is a master or a beginner in judo.

9. when your opponent off balance in each direction, longer response time.
Use this response time against your opponent and judo technique will improve.
