Tatami Talk

In episode 42 of Tatami Talk with Juan and Anthony.  We talk about the  small crosstown tournament we had at our dojo with Sawtelle and Goltz  Judo. How it went and how it was trying to stream it on Twitch for the  first time. Then we went on to our egg versus tatami mat experiment. Did  the egg crack or did it survive? You may be surprised with the outcome.  Either way you have to listen to the podcast or watch a video when it  comes out on our YouTube channel to find out. For our main discussion  Anthony tried out the American Judo System for one month online. What  were his thoughts on it, what did he liked and didn't like? What he felt  could be improved. And what Juan thinks of it just using the free  content available on YouTube, Instagram and Facebook.

In episode 36 of Tatami Talk with Juan and Anthony. We are revisiting the topic of testing for promotions in Judo. Since  most people can't compete as much as they want to and used to, because  of the pandemic. Some instructors are having to change the way they promote their students. What should students be tested on at what rank?  How should you test your students? How much of a promotion should be based on the test itself or you're in class work and past competition work?
