Big issue in JUdo?

First off relax... realize you are an orange belt and this kind of think is natural. I also highly doubt you have had millions of randori matches.. maybe hundreds, but still that is part of learning, is to get quicker and quicker reaction times.

I can tell you most people's hesitation occurs because they are afraid of getting countered or making a mistake. But that is what Randori is for, to learn and make mistakes. Even tournaments at your level are learning tools, you should just attack and if you get countered, the worst that happens is you lose a match in a Novice division, which isn't a big deal.

My advice would be to not take yourself so seriously, or worrying about if you are winning or losing, but to focus on learning. If you feel you have two or three good throws, then attack them all the time. Find out when they work, and when they don't. Don't be hard on yourself or let your ego get in the way, you still have time to get work things out and you are still learning.

The path to learning is mistakes period. You play against people better than you, you try all the things you can, and you find out what works for you. When you get to a point that you can throw most people with your throw, stop throwing it all the time and work on a new throw. Work on a left handed throw or a throw that works in a predicament you find yourself in a lot.

Always improve, and the way to do that is by just trying out techniques in randori, and not being afraid if you will lose, or win. Randori isn't about that, it is about helping your partner and yourself get better.

So first get rid of your fear of losing, in randori, in competetion, in anything. You will find out that by attacking more, you will find yourself throwing people more, and your confidence and fear of committing yourself to a throw will dissapate.

Judo is like golf... you are going to hit a million bad shots, but it when you hit that one good shot that keeps you going. All your life and career of playing Judo, the mistakes, and wins by luck and all that will far outnumber the solid beautiful ippons that took no effort. But the only way you land that solid beautiful throw is by throwing all the time until you find your groove.

I hope that is of some help, feel free to message me if I can be of any further help.

Well I'm no expert but as a friend I would tell you that if you think you got where you are because of other peoples silly mistakes then you should not of let your self been promoted to orange belt from getting those wins if what you say is true and you do not feel you belong at that level. Either way though thats in the past. With training you can still work on where you are at and better your self with each day that you train. if you feel your not ready for orange belt level competition then don't enter until you feel you are ready. Or do enter and take the losses and learn from them. The goal here is for you to get better, not to increase you win to loss ratio as best as possible. As you get better that should happen anyway. As for your stress you should see a psychologist and work on relaxation techniques such as breathing methods and visualization techniques. I wish you luck

Doesn't Judo have Kata?

Just run through all the Kata about 10 times each as I hear they are brief, and have your opponent also run them on you.

Then take turns applying Newaza stuff while actively resisting. In Japan, they spend more time on Kata and Randori than in "free sparring" part of the reason they win more at the Olympics and why their technique tends to be more polished. I find it hilarious how Americans insist in saying that Katas are worthless, and yet, against Europeans, in Karate or Judo, they get constantly served up.

In European martial arts circles Americans are generally seen as a joke outside MMA.

The only difference in the way they train, is that in America people don't do Kata, whereas in Europe they do, because they have more respect for anything "traditional." Japanese Judoka are beasts; they will drill a Kata up to 100 times (their champs) and tolerate being powerslammed on the mat 100 times, all for the sake of polishing their form.

Sounds to me like your instructor trains you Japanese style; most Judo schools don't do that, so I wouldn't attribute your success so much to luck, as maybe your instructor knows what he or she is doing. If you still feel insecure you can always test yourself against a Japanese Judoka if you get the opportunity you know, as ultimately they remain the standard of Judo.

good luck.

your additude is normal for your belt....most white belts spend there time wishing they were colored belts and for your first colored belts you might pay attention to detail and ability more and feel you don't deserve it....but you do...thats why you won't be demoted...your still learning...and have a ways to black belt

as for hesitation I'm going to suggest your feet are in the wrong place so you feel frozen for a moment and feel like you can't or don't want to move...work on your footwork drills (tandori? I'm not judo) and especially your approach to each throw.....and get a senior judoka to make sure your not doing any studer stepping.....and start taking chance in randori...finding out what doesn't work is just as important as doing what does...

not only does getting thrown on your back show you what not to do..but it also shows you what to do when your oppenent messes up to....make sense?

and don't keep practing only your favorite throws...especially in randori

After studying the opposite solutions and your reaction, I consider you can also uncover this somewhat sudden. Martial arts aren't supposed so that you can stress. They are taught so the proper software of the process you may have discovered will use as little vigour from you as viable, even as, for all intents and functions, 'destroying' your opponent. Perhaps, you must become a member of a Pilates institution, or endeavor health club, and even an geared up town game if you're watching for some thing extra bodily disturbing. Brazilian jiu jitsu does have its strenuous moments, however they arrive with wrestling towards your opponent, and that's not what that artwork is approximately both. It's approximately exploitation of openings created by way of your opponent to reap manage with out straining. Leverage concepts are at paintings right here as good as contact sensitivity. The equal is going for judo; and the ones falls do not fairly 'harm' except you're touchdown improper. (If you do try to be trained judo or some other procedure in which you train falling strategies, and you're hurting even a bit of, inform your trainer! That manner they may be able to aid you to be trained what you ought to do to competently execute the process. I've visible too many persons try to skate by way of with out doing it appropriately, and so they get injured from it.) You fairly would possibly not uncover some thing that's a tougher martial artwork 'consistent with-se' bodily, in and of itself. What you'll uncover, is most of the extra usual martial arts comprise a exercise style of movements in them for the conditioning of its pupils. This is why I advised you simply uncover a health club or game to complement your self with. Find a rock health club, or a swim group, and even play racquetball. Honestly, I fairly wish to deter you from shying away out of your Chen taijiquan magnificence. You are fortunate adequate to be in that procedure that is doing precisely what demands to be performed on your process to paintings. It is educating you tips on how to calm down, some thing such a lot different procedures won't educate. It takes an highly lengthy period of time to be trained tips on how to competently align the frame and coordinate the correct muscular tissues with the motion of vigour whilst supplying a process. (A extra outside artwork, will effectively strip that clear of you with out you understanding approximately it, if you do not pay concentration.) That, and it is truthfully the healthiest factor you'll do... (protective your joints, and cartilage, and bone constitution.)

be aggressive then
