Judo is a very
dynamic physical exercise involving various movements
of both opponents (TAI SABAKI).
The main
objective of Judo practice is to maintain one’s own
balance while taking the opponent off his. For
the player, effective bodily movements would be regarded
as those not weakening his own stability and balance.
Effective
TAI SABAKI initiates from the hips, so that the foot
or the shoulder should not be moved in advance of
the hips.
This point
is very often illustrated at performance level Judo,
when one of the players in order to misguide his opponent
about his true and major attack, produces foot a feint
hoping to send him a misleading message.
Experienced
judoka do not react to such feints unless they are
initiated from the hip.
TANDEN
is the beginning of TAI SABAKI, hence TANDEN is the
beginning of a FEINT.
