Uchikomi (Repetition Fitting Practice) is a staple in judo and other grappling sports. Using a weight vest, ankle weights or other weights attached to the body develops power (speed and strength) into the throwing movement. This principle of overload training is used in all other aspects of physical development and had practical use in technique and skill development in uchikomi as well. This approach to Uchikomi training with weight vests and ankle weights has been initially developed here at Welcome Mat to our knowledge. Other useful methods of Uchikomi training have been developed and this adds to the existing body of knowledge. It is hoped you experiment with using weight vests, ankle weights and other weights when doing Uchikomi. It must be stressed that you must not throw or be thrown when wearing weight vests, ankle weights or other body weights when training as severe injury may take place if you are thrown or throw someone else while wearing (or your partner is wearing) a weight vest, ankle weights or other body weights.
