Wise mindset. You can only improve your game by cross training.

i think its a disaster

[@Nonegiven14582]

Someone good a Judo once said to me. With a 140kg bench press at around 70kgs bodyweight. It would be very hard for anyone. Certainly at club level, to get me down. Is that true? Sadly I am a little older now. Have boxed to a decent level. Which would make Judo difficult for me? As I just see so many openings for punches, even at this competition level. I just know too much about something else?

i love how you're documenting your judo journey. it's honestly so fun to watch. i started training judo about a year ago and I've never loved anything quite as much so it's always cool to see others appreciate the beauty of judo. wishing you all the best and looking forward to seeing you become a total killer at judo

[@pjt158lbs]

JB, I appreciate you helping promote the sport of Judo. I watched you compete on Sunday, you fought like someone that has been doing judo for a few months, so, “spot on”. I think you will excel, not bc of your BJJ resume, but your attitude toward learning and growing. You are humble and hardworking, therefore coachable. And if Chuckie is your Sensei, it’s only a matter of time before you show up and throw someone with his crazy uchimata, tao toshi, seo toshi…(Chuckie was the kid and man to beat back in the JR and SR level days, very few of his matches went the distance). Thanks again Josh.

[@estonian]

you are becoming dangerous in Judo :) great effort!

[@joshbeambjj]

Haha never thought I’d hear that, thank you! 🙏🙏

[@Thomazbr]

I don't think theres anything wrong with having your gameplay based around Sumigaeshi as a judoka. 90% of Natsumi Tsunoda's gameplan is based around the Tomoenage. She goes for the Tomoe and if she doesn't get it, she transitions into an armbar. She's an olympic gold medal champ. Having a favorite throw is super valid.

[@nothinglast-oq5mn]

I respect the sentiment but have to disagree in the context of this video. While it is true that Tsunoda is a tomoe nage specialist, she is still a world class judoka without it. A white belt should first learn to do judo before specialising on a technique, especially so for sutemi waza.

[@Thomazbr]

@@nothinglast-oq5mn No of course you're right, you should embrace Judo wholly because you never know what you're going to end up being actually good as. I'm just saying that winning with sumi gaeshi is still judo.

[@doublechinmask3744]

win is a win in tournament settings but yeah. As a begginer you need to learn as much throws as possible to find your tokui waza. Josh is great stufent and will get good at judo pretty fast I am sure. Great content!

[@kananisha]

Sumi is a good throw to start with

[@mrglasses8953]

While it's completely legit technique wise he shouldn't be trying to adapt a BJJ game to compete in judo as a BJJr, but learn to be a rounded judoka.

[@amitabhapalmer5085]

Nice work. As a judoka, I appreciate your willingness to engage with the sport. A note on competition sumi-gaeshi. Traditional sumi-gaeshi will not work in the higher levels of judo because it's very easy to sprawl against it (as you found out). However yoko or a rotating sumi-gaeshi will work at all levels. I know because it's one of my main throws! Yoko sumigaeshi is even more effective throw in BJJ. Get your same grips (better yet, get a sleeve and back grip on the same side) and step across your partner with your inside foot counterbalancing yourself against them. The other foot steps and becomes the anchor as you turn rotate into them (the foot that stepped originally becomes the butterfly hook). Don't throw them directly overhead but dump them to the side. This eliminates their ability to sprawl which is the primary problem with the traditional sumi-gaeshi.

[@k0d0kan]

Yes you guys should absolutely do more stand up. I’m a black belt in judo and once I reached my early 50s I decided to try BJJ because I thought it would be easier on my body. Well I found out it wasn’t any easier. Lol. but I did find that virtually nobody in the BJJ World knows anything about stand up and I could throw people at will. Even the teachers wouldn’t practice stand up with me because I threw my first teachers around easily. But that’s OK. They’re two different styles and I was a black belt in my style and none of them were obviously, but I Wish I would’ve trained BJ as a younger man because I can definitely see where it would’ve been advantageous to me competing in judo against people that didn’t know as much ground work. BTW, I found going into BJJ as a Judo black belt that I was about on par with the higher end BJJ blue belts. I even tapped one brown belt, but never a black belt. The Judo ground game is not nearly as extensive as BJJ. Kosen Judo is different story. Kosen judo is almost exactly like BJJ.

[@RabbiSteve1]

Fascinating stuff. I am just starting at a BJJ school where the Sensei also teaches Judo twice a week. Being 68 years old and just starting on this journey, is a little scary, but I’ll take it slow and see how far I can go.

[@mayena5735]

I have a two people in my Jiujitsu class that are near 80 and a black belt. They can still roll and fall and everything. They take it slow but they have tons of knowledge to share. It's great for your health to never stop training.

[@jesseramirez6381]

I have been doing judo since I was 11-12 years old and I competed for ten years. I truly appreciate the amount of respect and openness you have towards this art. I think competition in judo is a great way to test your skills just like in other arts. It was awesome to see you go out there! Keep it up man. Your judo will get better and better. It truly ages like fine wine and you refine your techniques as you go. watching your videos also has made me wanna go back to BJJ. We need to see more of this between the two because together they are one of the best combinations!!

[@kristianOLS]

In canada they dont allow novice to do drop/sacrifice throws. Here in Vancouver we get a couple San Jose guys come up to compete in our tournaments. It was fun to watch! Pro sumi tip, ko uchi them before you sit for the throw

[@AnaranjadoGuitar]

Hey Josh - another tip for Judo is the handfighting and collar utility is different from bjj. You want to protect your collar/sleeve while trying to get a hold of theirs. Once you get the grips you want, you can initiate movement by shaking and jerking on their collar, not just pulling this way or that. Try it and see how that goes! I like to keep my non dominant elbow near my collar with that hand facing down. Lot's of people try to grab that hand at the wrist... when they do, it sets up some explosive throws for me as I use their own grip to feed their hand to my dominant hand to set up throws like kouchi or ōuchi gari, ippon seonagi, harai goshi variations, tai otoshi, and others. These give you some good options for if they are off balanced going forwards, backwards, or in an arc. Good luck, bud and congrats on your first Judo tournament wins!

[@uwemaxjensen3028]

Ja, som begynder mangler Josh endnu en grundlæggende forståelse af grebskampen.

[@JudoLife]

@@uwemaxjensen3028 that might be true but is also insulting. Grappling is broad. Judo has rules and tempo specific content. Josh isn't a beginner. He's quite experienced really. The deficiencies here can be relatively quickly addressed if he trained at the same dojo, (great technique) and cared to continue this Judo journey.

I'm always countered during attacks. but I'm getting it a bit now. no direct attacks. always mask it by movement and combination. it keeps the opponent on their toes as well. just be careful on the footsweeps.

[@CJ-tz1iw]

Loved the video. I’d done judo for years and competed a lot and started doing bjj. Exact experience but in reverse. Everyone saying you’ll win easy - but they are very different. And I lost first two comps at blue belt! Judo feels more about quickness, footwork and explosive. Bjj more about control, positioning and patience. Personally I’m more suited to judo but both are fantastic sports and cross training is great.

[@gerardhart9052]

I love your spirit. Competition judo usually requires at least a handful of techniques. The stiff arm and pulled back hips are classic novice defence moves. Circling is actually pretty advanced for escaping (watch Mifune sensei). What I liked best was that you competed as a judoka and not a bjj practitioner allowing yourself to fully experience the opportunity provided. I have seen some grappler constantly trying to pull guard in judo tournaments and do not care for the mindset.

[@steffonwhitaker295]

That is mind blowing that someone would compete in a Judo tournament and pull guard. What was even the point?!

[@scottmarlow6018]

I do think BJJ student should train more takedowns. However, I have noticed that many judo throws do not seem as practical as wrestling takedowns in BJJ. Namely, in Judo many throws are based on being in more upright posture compared to the low stance of wrestling as well as risk of exposing your back for some throws. I have seen videos and articles where people do adapt some Judo throws for BJJ, which I think makes sense as well as sharpening up single and double leg takedowns.

[@juanyxx]

Love your content bro!! This video had me getting butterflies, keep it up 👏👏

[@alexanderren1097]

Yes, BJJ practitioners should train more stand up and takedowns. Also Judo practitioners should train more ground fighting. Both are necessary to be a more complete martial artist. Also, both styles originated from the same original style. It’s good seeing them slowly being brought back together.

[@seanspenceee]

[@Emanuel-l6w4c]

Congrats on your debut in Judo tournaments, it was awesome to watch you (from the birth-place of BJJ 🇧🇷) and next time you'll get 4 to 4. You should see some highlights of the brazilian judoka Flávio Canto, he's one of our greatest champs. He often takes his opponents to the ground and chokes them, so don't be afraid to do it, use your best, man. There's even a technique that follows Flávio's name, the Canto Choke, you should try it sometime. He's also a BJJ black belt, that could deeply inspire you. Your videos are really a inspiration to me, thanks a lot and God bless you 💪🙇

[@gabrielnascimento3958]

As a black belt in both judo and jiu-jitsu i would say that they are complementary arts. I started practicing judo because i was terrible at throwing people in jiu-jitsu. Now i feel like when i am competing in judo no one wants to do ground work with me and when i am at jiu-jitsu competitions, the opposite happens. Nice videos btw. I am not a real competitor as you are, just a geologist who likes to practice martial arts and sometimes put myself in danger in competitions but i love to watch judo tournaments - jiu-jitsu tournaments i find boring to watch hahaha

[@davidsuh9792]

very good competition and well done 1. I saw two game 2. remember that best attack is starting circle and best defence circle ^^(when you have get judo belt will understand) 3. do not push forward partner ( side step moving) 4. do not follow his step( important) 5. making to your moving step and bring to partner ur step way

Well done! You did really well! Be careful using your key/upper hand techniques too early for future tournaments, save them for your last fights... alternatively, use it early to fake it and get a certain response from them to set up a trap :) Your competition will be watching you ;)

[@bobronsons5780]

I'd suggest Osoto gari and maybe an uchimata which both combo nicely with the movement you showed in this tournament along with your sumi gaeshi. Just remember to set up, act!, and finish the execution. Then you are golden. You have hands, use them to your advantage

[@The_Goat248]

Hi im a brown belt and a tip for you is that when they catch you with their hip you should do a counter move like a judo suplex or the second option is take their legs and pull their back to the ground

Wonderful job of NOT bending over. Love the constant attacking. The gripping and regripping as well as the “no grip” undertook hurt you a tad. Your sacrifice throw at the end needed to be either done with motion, as a reaction to strong pressure down on him, or both. Final throw - never more than two steps in one direction; you took thee. :) Great job for the first tournament.

[@joshbeambjj]

Thank you for the feedback and tips! Oh wow never thought of that, that’s a great heuristic “never more than 2 steps in a direction”. Basically make yourself be constantly switching directions and not giving your opponent a chance to read a pattern, I guess?

The idea of throws becoming guard pulls is something that I wish judo/jiujitsu dojos taught, since it looks both useful and legit from both a tournament aspect and a more "martial art" aspect

[@joshbeambjj]

yeah it's a pretty interesting concept! I haven't seen people really teach it from that perspective either

[@sevasentinel4146]

Grappling sports clearly have a meta, and with BJJ, that's get to the ground asap to get your submission, so it makes sense that more time spent on your feet gripping and throwing is less emphasized for the sake of getting to the ground and working there. As much as it would help grappling abilities to train tachi waza, it would not necessarily help a bjj competitor get wins in their specific ruleset. Besides that, GREAT JOB, dude! I was at that tournament myself as a white belt two years ago and had a good time, so it's cool seeing you do well, too. I hope to train with you some day as I'm local, too.

Thanks for the video, I think you did great. You should learn different variations of ippon seoi nage, Tai- otoshi and sasae that are very simple techniques for beginners that always work good.

[@hopla]

I'm a Judo black belt and competed on a high level (black belt international) and have now just switched to BJJ 2 years ago. I racked up a 28-4 competition record in BJJ because the Judo background allows me, (no sweeps necessary) to dictate if I play top or bottom. If someone pulls guard thats fine because I focus on my topgame (and have a good basis there from Judo), if someone engages standing I usually throw and get a better position immediately. TLDR: yes focus more on standing as a BJJ player

I went from surfing comps to judo comps. I think in hindsight any form of previous 1 on 1 competitive sport experience is a major advantage. While my opponent was a nervous wreck it was just another day in the office to me. Just a different desk. BTW: Weird rules & setup. We haven't had corner refs on chairs in donkeys years. It's dangerous as they often can't get out of the way quick enough & someone lands on them. Chokes but no arm bars? Never heard of anything like that in an adult division except for masters over 60 where it's the other way round.

[@TyHatfield]

All I want to say is good job I mean it’s always good to learn more to do better. The more experience you have and everything helps you be better and everything and you know we have a long life sometimes we need to do things and get better a lot of videos of stopping head locks though.

[@jbgrappling]

Great job in this tournament. Im also a blue belt in bjj and a green in Judo. I love competing on both formats although the no arm/leg locks for adults in Judo has always bothered me.

[@horiturk333]

Not being able to touch the legs is a newer rule change, what do you mean no arm locks? Lol they literally do juji gatame etc all the time

[@stormeagle28]

In Judo only arm locks attacking the elbow joint are allowed. No locks attacking the shoulder, wrist or fingers. In some very old Judo styles (talking about 50..60 years) exist shoulder or leg locks, including Boston-Crab-like techniques (don't know the japanese name for that at the moment), it gets very close to Jiu Jitsu then, which Judo was derived from.
