Bicycle tires and a resolution
I have discovered the wonderful world of bicycle tires for judo training. I am able to practice my footwork over and over with a little bit of resistance. I am making sure that my footwork is correct. I also pulled out my old tai bo gloves...you remember box aerobics that seem all but extinct now-a-days. Well I can do our warm up exercises with the extra weight on my hands and it seems to help.
What is my resolution you ask? It is to give up alcohol completely. After I came back from Thanksgiving all of my joints were swelling so I have decided to give up alcohol because I feel rotten everytime that I drink it. Something about alcohol and my liver no longer agree and it is empty calories that I can't use for anything.

Hi,
I found your blog from your posts on the Judo Forum. Nice Blog!
Another solo exercise that I do sometimes is judo "shadow boxing." You can also do this holding free weights (5 - 15 lbs) to add some extra weight. Keep your hands up and move from one judo technique to another. Or you can just drill one technique over and over.
You can also use ankle weights when drilling any foot techniques.
Good luck,

Thanks. I will give those things a try. It is difficult sometimes when you only can practice Judo with a partner once a week.
