Acknowledgments

Thanks

To Emmanuel Charlot, who taught me so much about transferring my knowledge to the page in a comprehensible way, and who entrusted me, when I was still so young, with a platform that is still just as popular 15 years later. I hope that Ive proved him right and that I demonstrate everything I learned from him in every issue of LEsprit du Judo.

To the entire Esprit team, particularly Olivier Remy and Antoine Frandeboeuf for their invaluable and now daily collaboration.

To the great coaches who shared so much with me and who had the courage to place their trust in me. Jane Bridge, Patrick Roux, and Ezio Gamba, thank you.

Lets not forget that the best trainer is first and foremost the one with the best athletes. Thank you to all of the sportsmen and women who trusted me, particularly the champions and friends who assisted in the writing of this book: Clment Delvert, Kilian Le Blouch, Walide Khyar, Marie-Eve Gahi, Pierre Duprat, and Alexandre Iddir.

And finally, to my father, to whom this project meant so much.

Foreword

It was likely on a judo mat that I met Aurlien Broussal-Derval for the first time, and it was likely his remarkable ground fighting skills that I first got to see up close. Back then, he was teaching Brazilian jiu-jitsu at the Cercle Tissier, the legendary club in Vincennes where the top martial arts experts in all disciplines can be found. Aside from the players and their world-renowned instructors, and thanks to the generous and warm welcome provided by Christian Derval, who rules the roost there, you canat all hours of the day (and until late at night)bump into athletes from a variety of sports, not just martial arts, sweating through their training sessions in preparation for an upcoming competition. You might also see a few French action film stars, who come for a tune-up on the mats or in the wonderfully equipped weights room that adjoins the dojos. It was in this temple in the Paris region devoted to physical effort, power, flexibility, and self-control that Aurlien started off. He fought there when he was little, he developed there, and he had ample opportunity there to test, develop, and gain an in-depth knowledge of his area of study: physical training. For transferring theory to practice, fine-tuning concepts, and adjusting exercises he was extremely fortunate to have at his disposal a wonderful testing ground in which to experiment freely on himself and on others. Thats why, despite his young age, he already boasts impressive acumen and great influence in sport-focused physical training. But that would not have been enough to trace such a significant path had Aurlien not also been such a brilliant student in a daunting domain, was willing to draw upon all the latest American developments in an area that is constantly evolving, and work so hard, exhibiting a keen intellect and the mind of an educator, as I quickly realized when I asked him to start writing articles for LEsprit du Judo magazine. This partnership, which dates back to the first editionalready12 years agohas personally taught me a lot and has contributed to (of this Im convinced) changing the mentality of French and European judokas over the years by providing them with the best possible source of information. All of those articles form the basis of this book.

History

ATHLETES, WEIGHTLIFTERS, BODYBUILDERS, GYM TEACHERS, PHYSIOTHERAPISTS TODAY, A NUMBER OF SPORT FIGURES ARE SURFING A FASHIONABLE WAVE: THE PHYSICAL DIMENSION OF ATHLETIC TRAINING. IT HAS GONE SO FAR THAT, FOR SOME TIME, IT HAS BEEN VERY DIFFICULT TO TELL WHATS HIDING UNDER A TRAINERS TRACKSUIT, AND WHAT THE ORIGINS OF THIS PRACTICENOW AN INTEGRAL PART OF JUDO TRAININGACTUALLY ARE.

Legend has it that Bernard Laporte, while working at the French rugby club Stade Franais in the 1990s, was one of the first professional coaches to make use of external physical trainers. Already highly developed in the Americas, physical training only had a few formally recognized representatives in France back then. It is thanks to the intuition of certain enlightened coaches that physical culture has slowly started to break through to the sporting domain.
