Tri medalje za hrvatske natjecatelje na Svjetskom nanbudo kupu u Balance Combatu u Tokiju

Od 25. do 28. lipnja 2026. u Tokiju (Japan) održan je Svjetski nanbudo kup u Balance Combatu, seniorsko natjecanje koje je okupilo oko 100 natjecatelja iz 10 zemalja. Tijekom četiri dana vrhunskih borbi publika je imala priliku uživati u izvrsnim nastupima najboljih sportaša ove discipline.

Hrvatski predstavnici ostvarili su odlične rezultate osvojivši ukupno tri medalje:

* **Fran Juraj Kajs** (NBDK Pešćenica) – **zlatna medalja** u kategoriji do 80 kg
* **Vedran Major** (NBDK Gradec) – **zlatna medalja** u kategoriji do 75 kg
* **Krešimir Major** (NBDK Gradec) – **srebrna medalja** u kategoriji do 75 kg

Poseban trenutak prvenstva bila je finalna borba u kategoriji do 75 kg između braće Vedrana i Krešimira Majora. Pred brojnom japanskom publikom dva vrhunska sportaša pružila su najatraktivniji i najneizvjesniji meč cijelog natjecanja. Borba je trajala maksimalne tri runde, a pobjednik je odlučen tek nakon zlatnog boda, kojim je Vedran Major osvojio naslov pobjednika, dok je Krešimir Major zasluženo osvojio srebrnu medalju.

Natjecanje je proteklo u izvrsnoj organizaciji i sportskom ozračju, uz odlične borbe, vrhunske natjecatelje i sjajnu podršku japanske publike koja je tijekom sva tri dana stvarala nezaboravnu atmosferu.

Nakon kratkog zasluženog odmora za natjecatelje i trenere, već sredinom kolovoza započinju pripreme za Svjetsko prvenstvo koje će se krajem rujna održati u Turskoj. Hrvatske predstavnike ondje očekuju nastupi u svim Nanbudo disciplinama, s ciljem nastavka uspješnih rezultata na međunarodnoj sceni.

Ponosni smo na svu našu djecu koja su pokazala trud, upornost, disciplinu i hrabrost te uspješno odradila polaganje za kyu pojaseve. Svaki novi pojas znak je uloženog rada i još jedan korak na njihovom borilačkom putu. Čestitke svim polaznicima i veliko hvala roditeljima na podršci tijekom cijele sezone! 👏💪

Ovaj tjedan se još družimo na treninzima, igramo, treniramo i uživamo zajedno prije kratke ljetne pauze. ☀️

Nakon toga želimo svima prekrasne i bezbrižne praznike, puno odmora i lijepih uspomena s obitelji i prijateljima.

Vidimo se ponovno na jesen, s početkom nove školske godine – u 2. tjednu rujna, spremni za nove izazove, nova znanja i još više zajedničkih uspjeha! 🥋❤️

Why actual grappling matters...and always will

Some comments transcend the comment section and this is one of them. Shared for all to appreciate:
I showed your post to my Chen mentor who was a alternate on US judo team in the 80’s. He said this: “Yes. That about sums up how I feel too. Skilled grapplers/wrestlers typically do not transition to taijiquan because it has no apparent usefulness. I’m an anomaly.

Let’s be clear. Judo is a combat ‘sport’. The older versions of it taught with more emphasis on ‘combat’ contained within a ‘thin’ ruleset. Judo since the USJF, USJA, etc. has a ‘thicker’ ruleset and scores points more leniently.

Combat oriented Judo is about ‘enter and finish’, just like on a battlefield. Now, the tactics, are more like ‘seek my favorite hold, throw and fall on him’. In the older way, you literally enter, take whatever hold is available, throw him, and remain on your feet because his friend is nearby to immediately attack.

One only needs to become skilled at 5 throws:
1 - hip toss: - holding his right arm with 1 or both hands: in Judo this is called Seionage - holding his right lapel and using his right arm: Morote Seionage - holding his right arm and encircling his neck
2 - hip toss with trip: - same holds, place your right foot outside his right foot to block it
3 - hip toss with reap: - same as hip with trip except you are lifting your right foot - you can do this also between his legs: Uchi Mata
4 - foot sweep variations - you can cause him to turn and sweep his ankle/shin - you can sweep when he advance his foot towards you
5 - sacrifice throw - the best one is my mind is Yoko Otoshi - once he either holds you or you him - step to SW with your left leg and sit on your left glute - use your left leg to block his right foot step These are high percentage.

A person can receive the basics in a few lessons. What is harder to learn is understanding the proper positional relationship between you and him. You need to learn the difference between good foot placement and bad. You need to learn how to ‘go’ without thinking about it. He touches you, you touch him. It’s all the same. Find whatever minimum hold you need along the way.

This is what ‘randori’ about. Randori (sparring) amongst classmates is ok, but you haven’t tested yourself against the unknown. So, that is what Shiai (tournaments) are about. You get the chance to test yourself against awareness against people you don’t train with. Get 10+ tournaments and it all makes sense.

Then, when someone touches you in real life, your body knows what to do. To retain the skills you need to literally drill each one 10,000 times. You also need to be thrown in each 10,000 times. You mitigate the fear of falling. Still a Greco Roman wrestler can Suplesse you in a high arc over head. So, respect other grappling arts.

Judo develops awareness against resistance, but not the fine grained beads (salt) that taijiquan develops. Taijiquan does not understand grappling in a realistic sense, considering footwork, body positioning, etc. When, I see Taiji people launching non-wrestlers 10 feet away upon touch, I think that won’t happen against a skilled grappler. You might cause him to step back, but when he re-engages, he already understands your game. He will take his hold on you. Better understand ‘kao’, etc.

I think that a person can’t truly understand the gems hidden in taiji and other kungfu methods without understanding grappling, and having tested yourself."

naši natjecatelji ponovno su pokazali borbenost, hrabrost i odličan sportski duh na kupu državnosti ovaj vikend! 💪🥋

Osvojili smo: 🥇 zlato – Jona Spanjol
🥉 broncu – Jan Maras kojem je ovo bilo i prvo natjecanje! 👏

Lucijan je također prvi put nastupio na ovakvom tipu natjecanja i pokazao veliku hrabrost i želju za borbom, ovoga p**a bez medalje, ali s vrijednim iskustvom za dalje. 👏

Ostali natjecatelji ovoga p**a nisu imali sreće s rezultatima, ali su dali sve od sebe, odlično se borili i stekli novo iskustvo koje će nam biti velika motivacija za buduća natjecanja. 💥

Ponosni smo na cijelu ekipu i idemo dalje još jače! 🔥🥋
