first throws of judo?

[KNOCKuOUT]

What are typically the first couple of thows a judoka needs to learn to promote? Or maybe not necessarily needs to promote but is taught?

why are you asking this here though? If you are training judo somewhere, your coach will tell you. If you aren't training judo and are planning on starting soon, then knowing will not help you advance faster, as you will still need the proper number of points.

I'm not training in judo yet, and would just like to atleast learn some throws on my own free time for now. I wasn't expecting knowing any of the throws to help me advance any quicker at all. But after looking at a long list of judo throws, I want to learn throws on my own and ones that are typically taught in the beginning. I wasn't sure which ones would be good to start with. Also, even if I wasn't planning on training in judo, it's still good to know about the art and some of its cirriculum.

Took me four months before I could pronounce that when I started Judo.

It's kind of difficult to learn throws on your own. You really need a partner. And I recommend against it unless your partner knows what he's doing.

In fact, you may be better served learning how to fall(front, back, side and roll) before taking judo than learning the throws.(Of course you may already know how to) In my school, you weren't allowed to proceed to anything until you had falling down cold.

If you are interested in the throws though, there are plenty of great videos and animations out there thought to give you an idea of how it's done.

Also, if you're going to take judo I recommend picking up a copy of Kodokan Judo by Jigoro Kano. It's virtually the Judo bible.

I just noticed that you take BJJ as well so you probably already know how to fall. Never mind.

In all honesty, that is a bad idea. there are lots of nuances in footowrk, grabbing, etc. when it comes to throwing and grappling in general, as you should know, since you train bjj. If you ingrain incorrect technique into your "muscle memory" it will be harder to correct. My advice would be to just wait. when you start training, they will show you. If you aren't trying to hurry and advance, then it doesn't matter how many throws there are or how long it takes to learn them, right?

[KNOCKuOUT]

Yea, I guess maybe I just got a little over anxious. Thanks for your thoughts guys. Anyway, my bjj teacher actually showed us some judo throws in my last class. They are difficult to get good form on. I can defintely see why it is worth it to wait till I have the proper instruction. Even though I can't do the throws to 100% yet, it is still nice to know what I'm in for. Can't wait to start.

We actually threw in morote seionage as well as ippon seionage(2 handed shoulder throw vs 1 handed) Same concept though.
