Using your opponent's action and reaction to your advantage is one of the key concepts of Judo. In order to do so, you need to be able to "read" your opponent. Everyone talks about the importance of reading your opponent, but what does it really mean? Is it about your opponent's balance? Is it about your opponent's preferred techniques? Or is it about your opponent's strategy? In this episode, Shintaro and Peter go in depth about how to effectively read your opponent to take your Judo to the next level.
