Hayward Nishioka began his Judo training in 1956, with his father as his first instructor. During the 1960's, Hayward Nishioka was United States Division Judo Champion three times, in 1965, 1966, and 1970. In 1970, he retired as the National AAU Grand Champion. A member of four United States international teams, he won a gold medal in the Pan-American Games in 1967. Nishioka was also the British-Colombian Champion in 1966, and places fifth in the World Judo Championships in 1965 and 1967. After retiring from competition, he became a physical education instructor at Los Angeles City College in California, heading its martial arts program. Sensei Nishioka has been a driving force in the martial arts for five decades and is widely recognized as one of the best Judo masters ever to bow onto a mat.
Through this presentation, we bring to you novel mat techniques not normally found in Judo textbooks. Some of these moves are more popular then others, in which case a competition video scene will preclude the actual demonstration of that move. Other techniques are not as well utilized or have not been captured on DVD, but that doesn't preclude them from being potentially effective or eventually successful. In the end, it is the judokas themselves who make or break the technique. It is the judokas themselves who are prepared so they will have the advantage. Are you prepared or unprepared? Includes the second and final part of "What's the Score?"
