Judo Movement System: Posture Checklists, Shintai Line Drills, Tai Sabaki Turn Cards, and the Twelve-Week Bridge to Randori

Mat Manual companion guide to "How to Move: Shintai and Tai Sabaki." Print it. The article teaches why movement is the layer under every throw. This book is the working system: posture checklists for moving work, line drill libraries for suri-ashi, ayumi-ashi, and tsugi-ashi with doses, tai sabaki turn cards by family, partnered pattern scripts that tie movement to throw entries, bridge stages from pattern to percentage randori, filming protocols, and twelve weeks of logs that grade posture, crossing, and the following foot.

Player: ______________________________ Club: ______________________________ Coach: ______________________________ Stance: ☐ Right (migi) ☐ Left (hidari) Dominant travel direction to check: ______________

SAFETY, BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE ☐ Movement drilling is still partner work when grips are on. Agreed pressure in every partnered pattern; a partner who hauls you off balance outside the drill's terms has ended the drill, and that gets said out loud. ☐ Feet and floor: train on clean, dry mat. Suri-ashi (sliding footwork) on a wet, gritty, or torn surface is a fall waiting for a name. ☐ Knees and ankles: stepping volume is real load. Pain in a knee or ankle during line work is reported before the next set, and jump or hop variants do not exist anywhere in this book. ☐ Space in lines: line drills run with a full mat length of clearance behind the last player, and a caller who stops the room when lines compress. ☐ Randori bridge stages (Part 12) use agreed throw lists and percentages. Movement goals never justify a throw the round did not agree to. ☐ The stop word ends any drill instantly, from any player.

Part 1: The Map Card — Terms and Patterns

Classification honesty note, because movement serves the throws: the current Kodokan list (2017 revision) counts 68 nage-waza — 16 te-waza, 10 koshi-waza, 21 ashi-waza, 5 ma-sutemi-waza, 16 yoko-sutemi-waza — and every family's entry is a shintai pattern plus a tai sabaki turn. There is no throw in the list whose entry is "stand still and pull."
