The event was held in the UW-SP Wrestling Room. Judo students came from La Crosse, Wautoma, Wausau and Stevens Point. Thirty students were on the mat, including eight black belts. The students ranged from 8 to 59 years old. Everyone received hands-on experience about the sacrifices needed to become an Olympic-caliber athlete. Roethke broke down her favorite combination technique, a forward throw to a backward throw for the competitors. She explained the purpose of combination, setting up "uki," the receiver of the throw, and follow through with the execution of the technique. Learning the combination technique took the participants to a higher level of drill training. The Olympian expressed that fast is good, but slow is better. Do a technique slow, doing it 1,000 times helps correct bad habits, develops correct timing and helps position the body for perfect follow through of the throw, she said. The two-hour clinic was the final presentation for the judo students education program. Tom Gustin and Jim Weidner are the head coaches and instructors of the Judo Club.
