Extra Blog Post: April

During this month of April I worked on my independent component and closely with my mentor Arvin Limen. As I continue working with my coach, I continue getting first place. I also continue networking. As I explained last month he is the one who got me my job working with cars. He also gave me my chance on looking at a new way of fighting. This month I will post a few pictures of some of the cars I've been working on also at the last tournament that I was able to take two First places at.

Blog 19: Independent component 2

LITERAL

“I, Inez Torres affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.”

I did more mentorship hours under my mentor Gary Goltz and Arvin Limen.




For the most part gary goltz had me run classes that the little kids attended and the tiny tots participated in. He also had me work during the time of tournaments. This means recruiting people for the tournaments and help out during whether it be with refereeing, coaching, or doing the score board. Arvin Limen had me practice every day I was there but in terms of networking he would have me work with people he knew, learning a new skill, cars. Which gave me a strong ground to my second answer.

INTERPRETIVE

My mentorship for the independent component helped me develop my social skills with people I don't know and helped me understand the process of the Judo and networking within the Judo community. It helped me find my answer two and have clear evidence in terms of almost an experiment within myself. Also, this experiences allowed me to work with people I would have never talked to other wise and learn skills that I never knew about.

APPLIED

My Independent component two helped develop my second answer because as I was able to network and create an experiment on myself; how a Judoka can use Judo to network with in the Judo community. Everyone I worked with had a different background but they all came together to work with each other in Judo. The fact that in Judo everyone has their own background leads Judo to be so useful in terms of networking. Though this I learned the skills and benefits of networking through Judo and Judokas but as to working with my coach who is a second degree black belt to teach me a life skill about cars.

Extra Blog Post: March

This past month I did a lot of working with one of my mentors that is also my coach. I worked with him to get two first places at two tournaments these past months. He had promised me that I would actually get 3 first places in a row. I broke that yesterday when he wasn't at the tournament and I lost my first match by disqualification. All in all my coach keeps to his word, he works with me and shows me a lot of respect that many others in judo also show. As well as people in judo create a family setting, or feeling; everyone is willing to help each other. This month I really focused on what it means in judo being a family and being connected to each other.

Extra Blog Post: February

 

 During the month of February I have been injured since the last tournament, which indeed put a dent in my last presentation. I was going to make a demonstration of Judo to my fellow class mates and show how they could very well do the same on their own. This month I worked with my coach, Arvin Limen a lot, I was using Judo as a networking technique. Not only was my coach helping me to train and become better with my Judo (getting this first place) but I was helping my coach with his cars and other things he does. I know. Cars? Cars have nothing to do with Judo, but hey they do when they make you some money and you can get private lessons! Networking in Judo will definitely be my second answer. I have always had an appreciation for Judo.

A Judoka can use lessons and skills learned inside of the dojo to communicate and network with people outside of the dojo as well as being able to utilize skills of people inside and outside the dojo.
4. List three reasons your answer is true with a real-world application for each.
My question is asking about how Judo can be used in the "REAL WORLD".
5. What printed source best supports your answer?
my interviews as well as a presentation that my sensei had showed me that he did.
6. What other source supports your answer?
Certain websites and blogs that are individual and tell a story of a Judoka that really has used Judo inside and outside of the dojo.
7. Tie this together with a concluding thought.
My first two ancwers to my EQ; ability to use principles of the tournament inside and outside of the dojo as well as skills learned inside the dojo, utilizing them by being able to network outside the dojo. These two answers have brought very different aspects of Judo together being able to use them outside the dojo. My interviews and many of my research shows clues of working with Judo inside and outside the dojo.
