Combat sports saved my life and my moms. Parents separated when I was 2 and watched my mom get beat since my memory worked. When I was 5-6 my dad brought me to a friend's house to watch a ufc event(liddell era) and I instantly knew that's what I wanted, as soon as im skilled enough she'll be safe. From 6-13 I was in the gym, boxing, tkd and wrestling.pops got locked up for 25 to life when I was 12 and I started hanging with the wrong crowd but that seemed normal since that was the environment i grew up in(a relative would count 100k in drug money weekly next to my crib until we got raided by swat since it was the only quiet place in the house), ended up being 13 around gangbangers and drug dealers in a traphouse. Eventually as time went on friends started catching life sentences and getting shot, rumbles and fighting was fun for me but when mfs started pulling the glock instead of throwing hands i said f*ck this im out(nothing against guns i got plenty)I got put on probation/expelled and went back to the boxing gym. Saw the guy who was beating on my mom going off while blacked out and gave him a bloody nose when I was 14, my mom and everybody in the house was safe after that. Fast forward a decade my ex left me, lost my car job and apartment all in 8 months and started drinking like a fish. After 10 years with like 6 pad sessions i had a buddy that was putting on a muay thai event ask me to fill in for $50 on 3 days short notice after a figter pulled out. Ended up winning and fell in love with it all over again and it pulled me out of the addiction. Fighting saves lives and I'm living proof.

BJJ does so little standup it tends to favor people and almost encourage lack of dynamic and athletic players. Most bjj brown belts have trouble standing up with a hs wrestler. For self defense their assumption is: 1) they can get you to the ground despite training little standup 2) the surface is soft enough they’re not semi concussed after hitting the ground and no one else is around BJJ encourages too much stalling . The sport is encouraged to be played in an increasingly unrealistic manner. The main advantage wrestlers sambo and judoka have over them is a sense of urgency and aggression most bjj players don’t have . Groundwork past blue belt in bjj tends to focus on how to beat other bjj players. Are you really going to learn single leg X or use it commonly anywhere outside of a bjj mat ? We rarely see it even in mma for a reason. IMO bjj has major flaws in itself as a fighting style and they’ll always call out oh but my gym does judo and bjj too. I’ve yet to know a single bjj player below black belt who wasn’t a former judoka or wrestler that could get through a hs wrestling regional or local judo competition in the novice bracket. Even at black belt most of them just don’t have the ability to get their game going without literally sitting down or letting themselves get thrown hard. Seems far too defensive of a martial art for me . Passivity doesn’t win you fights

@@utopiawi100% true gi vs no gi decides the match assuming similar mat times (you can’t expect an avg black belt in judo to beat a D1 wrestler in takedowns) . Take a similar judoka competitively to a wrestler and it’s going to depend on gi vs no gi. I would say a college wrestler is similar skill to a national champion in the USA. Outside of the USA the national champs of places like France Japan and other powerhouses dog walk them in the gi and get beaten but not as easily as the USA champ in no gi. Judo gets underestimated online because in the English speaking countries it’s generally low level.

They are both sports at this stage. Different rules. Not one is better than the other. In judo the marshal art, you do plenty of ground fighting. When I did it, it was 50/50. Competition is not a street fight. It is to show skill of execution. Why is it so hard for people to understand. In judo you have to compete to get points to grade. Unlike some other marshal arts, where technique is judged by combinations and / or kata.

If you take jiu-jitsu as John Danaher does it in his 4 step system (go to the ground, pass the Legs, escalate with pins and à hierarchy of dominant position, attack for the submission) and rate submissions as he does it: best percentage attacks in the 4 step system and If the system fails, enter the leg lock system; his system is basically combat judo. He even teaches his techniques in japanese. If it's the vision of the most successful bjj Master in the world, maybe we should listen to him rather than try to be contrarians. Just saying...

In a real fight, one slamming judo throw almost always ends the fight. Still, BJJ is excellent for controlling someone on the ground and breaking their bones with leverage or strangling them to unconsciousness. Grappling martial artists should remember that the ground is very hard and can have hazards such as broken glass, and that other people can stomp you while you’re tied up with an enemy. Plus, some people are disgusting or bleeding biohazards and you wouldn’t want to be in much close contact with them. For these reasons, a full blast judo throw and if necessary a quick submission on the ground may be generally preferable in a real fight. Controversially, BJJ’s gentle control on the ground until authorities arrive, or reaching a submission in a prolonged 1v1 grappling situation may be more appropriate. It’s always situation dependent.
