Jodan is a stance and strategy in judo that emphasizes upper-body techniques and attacks aimed at an opponent's head, chest, and shoulders. Unlike chudan (middle stance) and gedan (lower stance), jodan is characterized by a more upright posture and extended arms, allowing for quick and powerful attacks from above.
Pros:
Cons:
1. O-Soto-Gari (Major Outer Reaping Throw)
2. Ippon-Seoi-Nage (One-Shoulder Throw)
3. Kata-Guruma (Shoulder Wheel)
1. Establish a strong base: Begin by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes pointed slightly outward.
2. Raise your arms: Extend your arms upward, palms facing forward, and shoulders relaxed.
3. Grip the opponent: Grasp the opponent's collar with one hand and the sleeve with the other, maintaining a strong and firm grip.
4. Lift and push: Using your legs and core, lift the opponent off the ground and push them over your shoulder or towards the mat.
5. Follow through: Once the opponent is committed to the throw, follow through with the motion to ensure they land safely.
