Competitions are an important part of Judo as well as other grappling arts as they provide an opportunity to stress-test your skills against other practitioners. Another key benefit of competitions is that it can be used as a great learning opportunity. As a result, it is very important to "debrief" after a competition to assess what went right and wrong and learn from it. In this episode, Shintaro and Peter discuss how to process various aspects of competition experience--from the actual outcome to the feelings you have about it-- and how we can learn from it effectively.
