Abstract: In a judo match, a perfectly executed throwing result by a judo student against his opponent will get ippon

score if the throwing result against the opponent is executed perfectly, in which the opponent’s balance is

lost, both feet are up in the air, and the opponent is thrown by using one of the techniques perfectly.

Therefore, it takes strength, flexibility and speed reaction of throwing. This study used survey method and

the used data analysis technique was path analysis. The population in this study was judo athletes of JIB

judo association participating in PORDA XII West Java 2014 and used seoi nage throwing technique as

their main weapon, as many as 20 people. Based on the results of data processing and analysis, the

conclusion of this study is that strength, flexibility, and speed reaction directly affect the seoi nage throwing

technique. Therefore, all those variables directly affect positively toward the seoi nage throwing technique.

1 INTRODUCTION

Judo is one of competitive sports that provides an

opportunity for athletes to show their abilities and

achievements to the fullest. The success of a pejudo

in having high achievements cannot be achieved

easily, but through a process called training, as

explained that the main objective and target of

training are helping athletes improving their skills

and achievements as much as possible.

To improve the skills and achieve the maximum

achievements, there needs to be support from

various factors, such as the ability to master the

techniques, tactics, excellent physical condition,

good mental, quality trainers, support facilities and

infrastructure. Of all the elements above, a judo

athlete must have the ability both in terms of

technique, tactics, physical, and mental, so that a

judo athlete can achieve perfect performance skills.

This is caused by the fact that physical, technical,

tactical and mental skills affect each other's

performance during a competition.

In judo sport, there are known various basic

techniques such as slamming, lifting, pulling,

pushing, choking or locking the opponent's joints. In

addition, there must also be a mastery of the

techniques of falling (ukemi) and techniques to

eliminate the balance of the opponent (kuzushi).

Based on the above explanation, it can be stated that

the exercise of techniques in judo is important

without ignoring other aspects of the exercise.

In relation to technical training explains:

Technical training is an exercise that is specifically

intended to shape and develop motor habits or

neuromuscular development. The perfection of basic

techniques of each movement is important because it

will determine the overall movement. Therefore,

basic movements of every necessary form in every

sport must be fully trained and mastered.

Every judo athlete must have at least one

slamming technique as the ultimate weapon to defeat

the opponent. To better master the flagship

technique, a judo athlete is recommended to do

uchikomi or drill exercise, which is a form of

repetitive exercise. Furthermore, achievement of a

perfect technique must be based on the three

elements that support each other, namely kuzushi

(technique to eliminate the balance of the opponent),

tsukuri (technique of when losing balance) and kake

(the right technique to slam). If the three elements

are done correctly by a judo athlete, automatically, a

pejudo can perform techniques with good and

perfect dings.

In a judo match, a perfectly executed slamming

by a judo athlete against his opponent will earn

ippon. The value of ippon is obtained when the

result of kicking against the opponent is achieved

perfectly, i.e. the balance of the opponent is lost, the

legs are lifted into the air, the opponent is slammed

using one of the cutting techniques perfectly.

Therefore, it takes strength, formation and speed of

the slamming motion.

The basic slam technique in judo is a procedure

from series of Kuzushi, tsukuri and kake motions.

After eliminating the opponent's equilibrium

(kuzushi), move the body to the attitude / position.

That is the technique when the uke loses its balance

(tsukuri). Then, proceed to the kick technique. The

pejudo must concentrate in mastery of tsukuri and

must refine the kake, repeat the uchical exercises to

accelerate and refine elements of kuzushi, Tsukuri,

and Kake.

Such basic techniques must be mastered by

every pejudo. In a game, slamming is very dominant

for gaining scores because slamming can break the

opponent's defense and accelerate the victory. So,

the technique must be trained and well controlled so

that the slamming is correct and accurate.

Previous research has been done by Walgito in

2000 who examined about the relation among team‘s

cohesion, self-efficacy and the achievement of water

polo team of participants at PON XV in Surabaya.

Further research was conducted by Yudi Kahfiyudi

in 2005 who examined the relation among strength

and elasticity and kickback techniques seoi nage in

judo, and the research conducted by Rahmawati in

2013 that examines the effect of explosive power,

the elasticity and reaction speed to the skills for

starting on swimming athletes at Ragunan Sports

School Jakarta.

In a judo match, a perfect slamming executed by

a tori (who slams) against his opponent (uke who

slams in practice), will win an ippon. In a judo

match, the author often see the judoka performing

one of many nage waza techniques, namely seoi

nage. In fact, this technique is offen used as a

flagship technique. This is possibly caused by the

beauty of this technique.

To be able to have such slamming technique,

there must be a physical training first, before the

training for other aspects. Only with good physical

condition, pejudo will be ready in doing the

exercises. From several components of existing

physical conditions, it can be classified that the

components of physical conditions that need to be

given in the slamming practice are strength,

formation and reaction speed because slamming

requires the basic components of physical strength,

velocity and reaction speed.

The strength, velocity and reaction speed are the

three body/physical components that are very

important in Judo, especially when for the

movements of pulling, lifting and slamming with

flexible body movements in joint space (without

having muscle tension, so there will be no

disturbance to the movement).

2 METHODS

This study uses survey method by looking at

causality between variables. Data analysis technique

used streaming model analysis path. This path

analysis technique can be used to test the direct

effect of strength, velocity and speed reaction on

seoi nage slamming technique.

The target population in this study was all

female athletes of lower and middle class who

participated in PORDA XII West Java Year 2014 in

Bekasi Regency. However, the accessible population

was judo ato of JIB judo association participating in

PORDA XII West Java Year 2014 in Bekasi

Regency, who used seitar nage technique as their

main weapon, as many as 20 people. The used

sampling technique was total sampling.

Strength variable was measured by hand grip

(Savva, 2014) and leg dynamometer test (Alvares,

2015) and abdominal strength test (Learman, 2015),

measured by sit and reach test (Ayala, 2012).

Variable of reaction velocity was measured with

whole body reaction test (Shibata, 2015) and the

variable of seoi nage technique was measured with

performance test of seoi nage skills. The used data

analysis techniques were SPSS 17.00 and Lisrel 8.80

program.

3 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

From the data analysis result, there was obtained the

result of structural model along with coefficient of

path which was the research design. The

constellations are as follows:

Figure 1: Constellations of Relation among Variables X1,

X2, X3, and Y.

From the picture above, the path coefficient can

be summarized as follows:

From the table 1, it can be seen that there is

positive direct effect of path X1 to Y, X2 to Y, line

X3 to Y.

From the calculation of path analysis, the

coefficient value of strength path to seoi nage

technique is 0.230. The coefficient value of the

flexibility pathway to the technique of kick seoi

nage is 0.269. The coefficient value of the speed

reaction velocity on the seage nage technique is

0.231. From the result of t test, the value of tcount =

1.86, 1.85 and 1.88, which are bigger than ttable =

1.73. Since the value of tcount is greater than ttable,

the proposed hypothesis is rejected, thus all of those

variables have direct positive effect on seoi nage

slamming technique.

4 CONCLUSIONS

Based on the results of processing and data analysis,

it can be concluded that the variables of strength,

flexibility, and speed of reaction affect the technique

seoi nage dings. Thus all these variables have a

direct positive effect on seoi nage ding techniques.
