I've created this page More of the Basic Japanese Phrases For Judo because it was just too much information on one page. Japanese is a wonderful language and it is hard to believe, since we use so much english in our club that there is still so much Japanese used.
I will admit that not all of it is used frequently but it is used and as can be seen here there is a lot to write down.
Pronunciation:
a = as in father, America
e = as in education, edge
i = as in easiest
o = as in old, oath
u = as in pull,full
(pronounce as oo in soon)
