JUDO UCHI MATA Technical Consultant Brian Jacks Type LOAD "" and then press ENTER key. Judo is an ancient and subtle Japanese art of unarmed combat. It allows for both attack and defence. In its higher form it is a ritual combat between two opponents on a mat, but in the world outside the Judo hall - it is a perfect preparation for survival. An exponent of Judo who is attacked, even by an armed and physically stronger opponent, can use his superior knowledge, skill and ability to overcome the aggressor. Essentially Judo is the art of gripping and/or throwing your opponent. Punches, kicks, etc are not allowed. In Judo you look for an opening to exploit. For example your opponents weight can be used to your advantage if you can catch him off balance. Using Judo it is possible to throw a far heavier and stronger opponent. Needless to say, a strong and skilful exponent to Judo can take on the world. Hardwork, dedication and courage are essential if you are to master all the combat techniques. Remember, the more you sweat in training, the less you'll sweat on the mat. Brian Jacks, 7th Dan Brian Jacks received his black belt, 1st Dan, when only 15.

You will need to learn these sequences to throw your opponent. Grip:--Before you can attack an opponent you need to take a grip on his jacket (JUDOGI). To score big points you need go grip (better than his). As you approach your opponent, stab the fire button and if you're in range, you'll get first grip (best). Attack:--To attack, press FIRE, and keep it pressed while moving the joystick through your chosen attack sequence successful your opponent will fly through the air and land flat on his back (you win). For a perfect attack the referee award you 10 points (Ippon) and your opponent goes home. You meet the next contestant. The referee will award less than 10 points if your opponent does not land flat on his back (Maybe you needed better grip or more strength or maybe twisted out of your attack). Defence:--There are two main defences against being thrown and losing: 1. Defend against the attack very quickly (before your feet leave the ground) by pulling back or leaning forward (joystick right or left depending on the way you a fighting). If you choose the correct defence for the attempted attack and do so quickly enough, you may block the throw. 2. If you are being thrown, try twisting the joystick. You may twist out of the attack and land on your feet so your opponent scores nothing. A successful defence requires speed and strength, therefore, it becomes more difficult as your stamina decreases. SUMMARY These instructions are merely a guide to the game. As you play the game, and if you practice hard, you will discover many useful techniques to outwit your opponent. There is much for you to learn and discover.
