The Judo Skills Clinic was successfully conducted under the expert guidance of Dr Satish Pahade, Former Coach of the India Judo Team. The clinic focused on deepening students’ understanding of Newaza fundamentals, with special emphasis on transitioning between techniques and controlling the ground game.

Our students practiced various standing techniques and combinations, including gripping styles, Kuzushi (breaking opponent balance), and using an opponent’s reaction to initiate effective throws. Detailed demonstrations and drills covered key moves such as Sumi Gaeshi (corner reversal throw), Ko Uchi Gari (minor inner reap), O Uchi Gari (major inner reap), and Ashi Waza Tandukorensu (foot sweeping techniques).

Students took away valuable insights on the importance of rhythm, repetition, and technical refinements—factors that significantly contributed to enhanced match performance. The clinic served as a vital platform to reinforce discipline, precision, and tactical awareness in competitive Judo.
