JUDO YAYA - Zenbei Judo Team- Talking Grassroots Judo, Martial Sports

JUDO YAYA - Zenbei Judo Team- Talking Grassroots Judo, Martial Sports

By Fred Louis

I will be doing solo podcasts, sharing audio, and interviewing guests. Talking about Grassroots Judo and other martial arts, and sharing information that will improve our daily lives with my listeners.

My podcast will be a little different than other martial sports podcasts in that I will concentrate my shows more on grassroots activities, students, and coaches, and talk about the great history of great US Judo players.

In addition to judo, I will be talking about fishing.

Two Levels of Martial Arts by Sifu Brown

Two Levels of Martial Arts by Sifu Brown

Welcome to Judo Ya-Ya, I am your host, Fred Louis, and I am also the Head Instructor at Zenbei Judo Team in Salt Lake City.
Here is ANOTHER audio, THE TWO LEVELS OF MARTIAL ARTS BY Sifu Brown. He is a great martial artist, teacher, and philosopher. I so enjoyed listening to his talks with his students. You always walk away with thought for knowledge, growth in your martial arts but also, challenging and enhancing your personal growth. I think it was serendipity that I ran across this audio again. IN 2019 I suspended classes at my judo school because of prostate cancer SURGERY and then the pandemic hit. During the downtime, I started reading and watching videos on coaching. This audio for me brings MY MARTIAL ARTS LIFE Into focus and I hope that it will make you think WHY YOU ARE PRACTICING MARTIAL ARTS AND WHAT YOU WILL DO WITH IT IN YOUR LIFE.
GUY’S I AM ALSO SELLING MY BASIC WEIGHTLIFTING PROGRAM FOR $7, THIS IS A GREAT PROGRAM FOR THE BEGINNER MARTIAL ARTIST. IT IS THE BASIC PROGRAM I FOLLOWED WHEN I WAS STARTING JUDO. THE INFORMATION WILL HELP YOU TO GET IN SHAPE AND GET STRONG. CONTACT ME AT JUDOYAYA801@GMAIL TO GET YOUR COPY.
Please subscribe OR SEND ME messages to
anchor.fm/fred-louis/message you can FIND me on my Facebook page or Twitter at Judo Ya-Ya. I can also be contacted by email at judoyaya801@gmail.com
Enjoy, THE TWO LEVELS OF MARTIAL ARTS. Please let me what is your take away from this audio and send me a message, I would love to hear from you. And remember, hunker down at home if you can, wear a mask, plan for safe holidays, monitor your health, and look forward to spring.

Black History Month: Celebrating Great African American Judo Champions - Allen Coage

Black History Month: Celebrating Great African American Judo Champions - Allen Coage


Hello, Welcome to JUDO YA-YA, I AM your host FRED LOUIS, and I am also the Head Instructor at Zenbei Judo Team in Salt Lake City, Utah
It's Black History Month: I am celebrating some of my African American Judo champions who I admired growing up as a kid. I would read the judo magazines back in the '70s and I would see guys like George Harris, Allen Coage, Robey Reed, Odell Terry, and others and I thought it was very cool to see black guy's doing judo too. They were my idols! I wanted to be l like them!
The first show I am going to do is about Allen Coage.
1. Do you know who Allen Coage is?
2. Did you know that he was the second American to win a Bronze Medal at the 1976 Olympic Games, in Montreal, Canada?
3. Did you know he was the first African American to win a medal in Judo at the 1976 Olympic Games?
4. Did you know after Allen Coage retired from Judo Competition he started a successful career in professional wrestling? He was known as Bad News Brown" Does that ring a bell?
It's a look into the United States Judo history and the contributions African Americans played in its development.
