The training is so intense in all the articles. 2/day and some do individual training in-between. These players are "all in" in their committment to judo. Travis says Judo is more physical than BJJ/MMA but compares it to Wrestling. If any of could be a world judoka would we really do it?
What is amazing is how all the athletes change their lives in someway for judo. Zantaraia not doing well at the Olympics is a stunner for me. I would have to look at his matches to see what happened.
Better take it easy with training or at least speaking for myself. Covid aside, I believe its good to back off from intense training to avoid burn outs and wear and tear. But if someone wants to train hard, they must be findfull of recovery and not taxing nervous system.
Look at how Travis is explaining the idea of this new work out. There is no skill that they can help out without a certain type of thing that are the most important. One must be ready to face a brutal physical challenge in the work of this performing art. One of the most important things to mention is a validated gear for the game.
