Why? We already have no gi juijitsu that incorporates everything from Judo plus wrestling techniques.

[@johncena12366]

@@vids595 A big throw wins you a judo match and you can't pull guard. Also the ground game is very fast paced, if you cannot quickly pin or submit your opponent, the ref just stands you up. Techniques are the same but the game is very different.

Osoto is so underrated in no gi! I hit it pretty much every single roll (when they don't pull guard). Definitely gonna try that osoto defense🤣

[@alfiesolomon3531]

i'm glad i stumbled upon this, cause i'm terrible at takedowns but currently working on it. Something as simple as realizing that a left handed vs right handed situation filters out a lot of techniques to begin with was eye opening. Might be obvious to some, but it wasn't something my coaches mentioned ever ( since we assume most of us are right handed i suppose). This video was concise, so well explained with the xtra aussie humour, thank you so much. Seems i will circle back to this one quite often

[@matt3477]

Funny you should say that, because my teacher is left handed. I am right handed and wondered why I was always shit at takedowns. This video made me realise it was because I have forever been doing them with my wrong leg forward! Stupid I know, but now I can at least start from a solid base knowing how to do things correctly!

[@BURGAWMMA]

Modern Judo practitioners are terribly over-reliant on lapel grips and far too traditional... when I took over my high school wrestling team I integrated a ton of Judo techniques with modified grips (of course) and was very successful in the process... many other wrestling coaches actually taught Judo techniques but didn't recognize them as JUDO thinking THEY more or less "invented" a technique and we're terribly interested when they found out the technique has a name, place and a ton of variations long since well understood, described and utilized by the sport of Judo!! It's really the incredible naming strategy that sets it apart from all other grappling sports but the lapel exclusive grips and rats nest of ever changing rules hold it back.

[@palmerphotojournal5403]

Dumb take. Judo is reliant on gi grips because Judo is a sport in of itself, and the gi is the equipment used in the sport. That's like saying football players are over-reliant on their pads compared to rugby players, or since pro skiers only use skis they're somehow inferior to snowboarders

Hi! I just subscribed! The edits are clean asf and the teachers are really clear with their teaching.

[@hardcaliber19]

Nice selection of throws. Really solid technique on the ashi waza stuff and the uchimata (which is technically ashi waza i guess, lol). Really liked the uchi into ankle pick combo. I have a tip for you that would greatly improve a couple of these, and even make the seoinage higher percentage and harder to take your back. Rather than trying to use your right hand (in these examples) to make connection and effect kuzushi in the tai otoshi and seoinage (in the "elbow pit" and armpit, respectively) try using your forearm with your arm held at a 90 degree angle (or *slightly* wider). Drive in with it, and keep your lower arm extended and away from your body (don't let the frame collapse). You'll find a couple of things: 1) The connection is much more secure, particularly when you/your opponent are sweaty. 2) You have better (or at least more reliable) leverage, as it is much easier to secure a solid frame. 3) on the seoinage, because you have a solid frame, it is harder to sprawl as there is greater forward kuzushi faster. And, 4) As your opponent has to now beat your frame, it is much harder to secure a grip on your neck/upper body, even if they do manage to sprawl out of being thrown. You're still I a bad spot, which is why I agree with you that it may not be the best option. But it will make it easier to get to your guard or scramble out, which beats getting choked haha! This requires some minor tweaks to your footwork (will need to be ever so slightly closer, due to less reach) and gripping/direction of pull on the other arm/wrist, but honestly, give it a try. There's more details to making it work (isn't there always, lol), but if you play around with it, I am sure you'll find it works amazingly well. Not a critique at all guys. I enjoyed the video greatly. Just a tip I received years ago that really helped me land these in nogi sparring. Hope it helps you too! Cheers.

@saltymember1062 1) International Judo competitors... compete in the gi. This is nogi technique, and yes, I'm sure it did. 2) I'm a 3rd degree black belt in Jiujitsu, own my own school, and have been teaching gi and nogi grappling for more than 15 years. What are your accreditations, tough guy? Lemme guess... 4 stripe white belt in bjj, or say orange or green belt in Judo. Only person that a) wouldn't recognize good technique advice if they were smacked over the head with it, and b) still thinks that black belts and competitors don't have anything left to learn. Stick with it, son. One day you'll realize what a stupid comment this was and look back on it (and I'm sure the many others you've made online) with embarrassment. Ossu.

[@Pifagorass]

The last defence reminds me of the Aikido master flipping and standing - not for mortals. Acrobatics is the 4th way to fight e.g. Taido or Kanpuera

[@SuperValor1]

very good

[@sensei9295]

One nice off-balancing technique is a wrist grap followed by a bicep/shoulder pop with the opposite palm while stepping and driving. Works nicely on the one arm reach-gi or no gi.

[@thebaneking4787]

The “sweaty almost impossible” one is great

[@user-ty3lx4mh3s]

Молодцы! Очень понравилось!

[@hhattonaom9729]

I think better way to do Osoto for no gi is being RvL, having an over or under hook, and do a hopping/ knee Osoto variation. Like, inserting the leg quickly first and then hopping into position with the base leg. Finish by truly lifting your leg once calf to calf, overcoming the resistance. Straight up throwing someone with a collar tire Osoto can work, but it’s more a surprise tactic. just my 2 cents as a judo black belt.

[@_A_VinhHungNguyenHuynh]

the ippon seoi nage have many variations but most common is the stand seoi nage and drop seoi nage. It can be worse if used wrong but used right and your opponent doesn't even know what just happened.

[@Manuel-ox7mt]

that Tai Otoshi is very hard to land on a sweaty no-gi partner. It's my favorite takedown from Gi positions but in a no-gi it's very hard. they can just slip the arm out fairly easy.

Pretty good stuff. But I can't say "five best" is complete when it's leaving out ura nage* and yoko otoshi. 😜 (*Yes, yes, you usually can't outright suplex, but just as you can "gentle" the move in folkstyle wrestling to keep it legal you can do the same in nogi.)
