A judo world that doesn't exist anymore

[@yakovdavidovich7943]

I'm totally OK with removing dangerous things from competition... but the Judo world seems so sport-minded that once something's nerfed by IJF, it disappears from daily practice and study. It's a small minority of judokas who still consider things like: how to throw a passive or defensive opponent, how to avoid giving up leglocks and entanglements, how to hold a pin longer than half a minute, what to do with illegal grips, how to defend against the banned throws. If Judo is a martial art, these are critical to retain and study, otherwise Judo gives up its seat at the combat table.

[@mihneaiordan1813]

To be fair, Judo is a sport. The martial art is classical Japanese Jujitsu. I think.

[@Hydros92]

@@mihneaiordan1813 You would be correct, Do is an affix that means 'path' Jutsu is the affix that means skill or technique. This rule applies to other Japanese martial arts such as Kendo, Iaido, Aikido ect. A martial art with the affix Do is done in the spirit of self improvement, they're sports, or performance art as you say. A martial art with Jutsu as the affix is traditionally the more martial side, learning to fight. That all being said, a lot of martial arts have trended away from their practical origins so I wouldn't put a lot of stock in the Jutsu affix meaning as much as it once did.

[@yakovdavidovich7943]

@@Hydros92 The "-do" meaning "way" was chosen becasue Judo is a philosophy and framework for achieving high skill and understanding of the jutsu, and is not focused merely on learning and doing the technique. Kano was innovative in distilling jujutsu to its philosophical and conceptual core to be able to teach how and why the jutsu works, and not just how to do it. Kano specifically wrote in his book Mind Over Muscle how he arrived at his preference for "-do" instead of "-jutsu", and even says that differentiating Judo from sport was part of it. He refers to jujutsu exhibitionists of the time who presented it as sport: an entertaining and competitive spectacle like Sumo. So really, he chose "-do" because it was *not* a sport :-). This is not exactly the same as my use of the word sport, by which I mean that Judo has become primarily a competitive and entertaining athletic endeavor focused on victory in shiai. It is much less about studying the "-do", which incorporates many things that go beyond mere athletics and sport.

[@jylpah]

@@mihneaiordan1813 Well, now we enter the realm of definitions and meanings. It’s common to refer any combat sport including hand-to-hand combat as a “martial art”. This includes aikido that some people would categorize as a “dance” or “form of exercise”. Sorry folks, I have done it.

I understand why kani-basami and kawazu-gake were taken out - they were banned when I was learning in the 80s. But the loss of morote-gari, suki-nage, te-guruma and classic kata-guruma still grates for me. And I have been known to teach them as non-competitive techniques - not just in the kata. Although kata is where some of the techniques not to be practiced in an unstructured way get preserved, in some ways it's not enough.

[@StevenRayW]

Morote-gari, suki-nage, and te-guruma are banned mainly to prevent wrestlers from entering Judo competitions using wrestling techniques that are very similar.

What I really wish would change is the pace at which judoka are expected to perform in randori. You can see a huge difference between old and recent competition footage. People used to take their time to find the right opportunity or to make one, but now it's just go go or you get a penalty. It can push people to be active, yes, but in my opinion it can cause recklessness of technique which becomes how you perform. I watched the Pan Am Games in Toronto years ago and the judo was awful. Majority of wins were by penalty.

What's fascinating about the scissor takedown is that it is still completely legal in Freestyle wrestling, and used frequently at the highest levels, including at the latest World Championships. I have seen many examples of that takedown being used at the Olympic level for several decades, and it has never lead to injury, and yet banned from Judo because of several prominent, but rare, injuries.

[@donaldnewell4868]

I think the gi holds add more power to the takedown. But, yeah, even in high school wrestling you see the occasional scissors.

[@cdcaleo]

The gi probably does act as more of a restraining hold on the opponent being scissored, as they can't move/scramble out as wrestlers can.@@donaldnewell4868

[@ElDrHouse2010]

while this is true, Im still enjoying my time learning Olympic Judo it was the best grappling art available close to my area. I like how Judo covers both: takedowns & submissions / chokes. Wrestling is often separate, Jiu Jitsu is often separate. I like this more Jack of All Trades approach. I would have joined Catch Wrestling but that aint anywhere here.

[@thebluepen1]

I fight jiu jitsu and I tell you: it is not separate, the objective of Jiu Jitsu is to finish, if possible while standing, or to take down the opponent and land in an advantageous position and submit. In general, this is the goal of Jiu Jitsu. What differs from the technical part of Judo is that Jiu Jitsu was made for self-defense, which is why strangling, twisting, joint locks on the foot are allowed, and it also doesn't include many perspectives where you turn your back, so as not to be strangled. Newaza became superior to judo due to the fact that it was trained and developed over a long time, creating new inversions, ways of finishing, defenses, etc.

[@jiujitsuismyoutlet]

You can reduce the injury of kani basami a lot if you place one of your hands on the mat and then go for it. This gives you a base so all of your body weight isn’t going down on their legs. It also improves control for the technique and makes it easier to hit because you can hold your body weight there

[@mrteacher1315]

In original ju-jitsu and lot of traditional martial arts, you didn't do a full execution or you modified it in practice to avoid injury because execution of the technique was meant to either injure or kill the opponent. Also, both ju-jitus and judo originally integrated strikes and kicks as well as weapons.

[@gushlergushler]

I actually don't really see the issue with ankle hooks on throws. I don't quite understand what would realistically go wrong with Kawazu gake with the setup shown here.

[@schmo78]

It´s an (dangerous!) attack against the opponents knee. If the attacker is straightening out his leg while it´s hooked in, it results basically in a joint lock. But Kansetsu Waza are only allowed against the ellbow joint in Judo tournaments. That´s because the elbow joint is the only joint where the sensation of pain begins well before the injury.

[@israelcanada8969]

I love your videos Chadi, merci beaucoup pour partager votre connaissance à propo du judo 🥋

[@jeffreytuura4337]

Kani Basami is for the streets, really hard to hit this one well, even if you know it well. Sometimes I go for this in Bjj with my friends when were not sticking to rule sets, but its always in a controlled manner and done with a posting hand and never at full force. I think the issue mostly comes when Tori weighs significantly more than uke and the angle of attack. With big guys they risk, blowing out your knees and achilles. Shooting from the side in a diving motion will destroy the knees, the attack vector needs to be going backwards. Often times Uke will fight this technique instead of going with it which ultimately can lead to more severe injury.

You know, in Capoeira we use a lot Kani basami (we call it Tesoura de Costa) and it is one the safest takedown techniques we have, I've never heard of accidents in performing it (there are more ways to use it, you can do it using more force and your weight to take down your opponent or with more technique slowing the fall and reducing the risk of injuries). It is easier to break a bone getting kicked or with more dangerous takedowns 😅 We use it as a counter to our version of Obi Otoshi (that we call Vingativa) Great video as always 💪

Its overall prob a good thing that a few of these techniques were taken out. Danaher talks about the big 3 that cause injuries, jump closed guard, Kani Basami, and tani otoshi but from the front. In that double leg you see the tani otoshi technique where the Uke could easily take out the Toure's knee by landing on it. I would think that Kano philosophy would like us to remove certain things from practice, schools and competition for overall development. At this point ibjjf should ban the jumping to closed guard as well. At the end of the day we play it like a sport, similar to what Dr. Rhadi says, you play it. You play judo, you play Jiu Jitsu

[@NomadBulldog]

My only issue with technique bans is that it leads to most schools never practicing techniques that are good to know regardless of legality in competition. I think every Judoka should know how to do and deal with a double-leg for example.

[@NDOhioan]

@@NomadBulldog It's especially weird to me given that, even outside of wrestling-heavy places like North America or the former-Soviet countries, rugby is still a pretty popular sport. I'd bet there's many places where lots of "untrained street thugs" still played rugby growing up, and someone with that background could definitely do at least a basic double-leg on someone. So "wrestling isn't popular where judo is" is still a poor excuse. That said, I did find the mildly-suggested "upward trajectory" rule to be a reasonable compromise for leg grabs in competition. Still gives clubs an incentive to train techniques with leg grabs while keeping the throwing emphasis the IJF wants to aim for.

Balance is the key, for those who come in Judo not to compete, try to find a dojo where sensei makes such distinction, there's not so few of those masters still around in my experience

[@jimlasswell4491]

Jigoro Kano was not a fan of Gedan Judo. His creation came from an era of societal change unlike any other in 1882. Kano, a polymath, envisioned an 'all encompassing' martial art not tied to shiai, kata or self defense. In doing so however in that era he had to serve all those interests to be successful in his determination to 'educate'. I started Judo in 1967, I met Anton Gesink. I ended up teaching for over forty years. 'Bigger, stronger, faster', does not impress me. A little note about Gesink; he was FAST! He had great technique and no desire to hurt anyone. 6'8" 350 Lbs when I met him and FAST! Of course he was strong, but that wasn't necessary. What then is Judo? Why does it exist? Does it exist to display the advantages of being bigger, stronger or even faster? Not if you leave the moral code in the dust. Blessedly I only had occasion to kick one young man out of my class. He thought the words "I'm sorry", absolved him of responsibility. After that and graduating high school he joined the Marines. A tour or two in Iraq led him to join some 'contractors' (mercenaries). When he returned to the states he was 'something else'. He now lives at the Florida State Prison in Starke Florida; convicted of murder. Kano was heavy into moral character. I remain on that path.

[@petersaczko6192]

What seems to have happened is that in the past, Jigoro Kano, Kyuzo Mifune, they were little guys and consequently they needed to rely upon technique and the movement of the opponents body, like a dance. Currently we have big guys doing their technique, which is based on mass and strength against opponents who are much smaller than them. Because Judo competitions are won by the first ippon it becomes necessary to get ippon as fast as possible. Thus Judo is not what it once was, a moving dance of lighter bodied Judoka but a large and strong cohort of Judoka looking for the fastest ippon. Judo is becoming wrestling and sumo. The Gentle Way is now becoming the Mack Truck Way.

I mean, these are quite frankly crippling injuries, that will alter the quality of life if they go wrong… it’s just not worth it. On a side note, this is a great video.

[@flyfin108]

chang maintained his upward posture and there was no body control

[@andrewblack7852]

That was normal. And some sambo throws we practiced were sooo dangerous. We also jumped over live katana and sparred with live blades.

[@_warriorinthegarden97]

Jiujitsu still allows all of these, except ibjjf , i only think kani basami should be regulated, but leg grabs should still be allowed, and i argue if they were, Teddy Reiner, wouldn't have been as successful as he was

[@mizukarate]

We used that scissor takedown in karate. I never cared for it.

[@saurabhm383]

Nothing wrong in training dangerous moves but not using it in competition. Its a great technique to use in a self defense sutuation.

[@DukeBrown5356]

Something about these old school sumo-looking judokas is so intimidating.

[@unknow936]

This kind of technique similar to Silat "teknik gunting"

[@marcinolszewski2260]

The 1st technique you're discussing: he was actually nice making the other guy fall backwards. You can perform this in meaner way when the opponent falls to his knees and with enough force that is almost always a knee injury guarantee

[@simonblackburn6937]

Sadly , Judo has become boring :(

[@thinkordie7292]

Dr. Rodney Ferguson is intimidating. The Mike Tyson of judo. Thank you again Chadi. 🙇🏾‍♂️

[@veritas4517]

A good Morote Gari can be devastating. touching the leg rule is rubbish, a lot of spectacular techniques have been lost.

[@Connor-j7l]

Westerners NEVER understood the essense of real Judo...and Its no mystery why...eastern and western outlooks are utterly different. The real judoka recognises that it isnt the opponent that needs to be overcome, but ones own limitations. Western way of seeing things is ALL about the EGO....pathetic.

[@rogerfederik4452]

Remember Yoshida vs Honorato

[@andrewmacdonald8076]

A guy off the street came to the dojo and did kami basami on me and got the legs wrong, insuring my knee. He must have been watching Rambo First Blood 🥝🇳🇿😎

[@nezperce2767]

Judo tsigjt us how to think. By eliminating practice we narrow our ways of thinking

[@バイク乗りたい-z8s]

岡野功先生が最後やったな

[@langsnek07]

Kani basami can be taught properly but uke needs to lnow how to fall properly judo needs to not ban anything as a technique from the art of judo but sport of judo is destroying the art if more pratice of these techniques were done with proper control i dont see the problem this is why there is an increase in popularity with freestyle judo in usa there however should be a qualification standard to be met before an exceptionallly dangerous technique would be allowed to be applied in competition and at certain higher level of competition only bring control and gentle aspect of art

[@Veritas-dq2hs]

What do you mean just running around. Judo should have a rule that if you run the opponent off, it should give you points.

[@MaharlikaAWA]

Make a new Judo league where you can do all of this.

[@bookworm3756]

We just did these in college MMA club because we didnt know what was scary or not 😬

[@Chadi]

Please be careful

[@RAPEDBYBLACKS]

Lol “Go ahead and fight and punch each other in the head but be careful with this stupid trip’
