[@AnGhaeilge]

As someone with both a BJJ and a Judo background, I would honestly like to see BJJ competitions ban guard pulling. It offers no incentives for people learning takedowns. Why would you learn grip fighting on the feet, how to setup and execute throws when you can just sit down and play shin-on-shin guard or something? BJJ will never advance if it doesn't give penalise guard pulling/sitting down. I don't mind starting from the knees in training just to get a roll in, but in competition - the only way it should go to the ground is from a takedown.

[@joseluki]

Pull guard and jump guard are the most stupid things of BJJ and promote stalling and unrealistic ways of "fighting" that have 0 application as self defense and the real world.

[@qwertyuiop31446]

Just award the takedown to the opponent when someone guard pulls.

[@williambenson1477]

no judo background here, i agree. ban guard pull, or at least automatically give takedown points to the opponent against a guard puller...my bjj coach (tongue in cheek) "pulling guard-where losers go to die."

[@rollsgracie268]

I agree Jiu Jitsu guys shouldn’t be able to pull guard or if you do you better start finishing right away. They should at least know some wrestling Judos class but at least learn something When I used to fight in jujitsu tournaments I would always stand tall a little bit dreaming it’s not like my standup was that good. But I fantasized of having a classic way of finding the Judo stand up and ground without honking over bagger bowling hand stand regal And class I Jacari Souza To be graded both wow

[@christophervelez1561]

I so agree that that the lift should be an end of a bjj match.

[@sylvanusjoseph1140]

This is the problem with BJJ . So many people cannot see that it is sport related. Now if that is what you are into for the sporting purpose...THEN FINE! However so many BJJ practitioners fall short in REAL COMBAT when they apply their 'training' takedown only to realise 1- that the opponent has an accomplice. 2- Concrete is not the same as a Dojo mat. 3- Such sacrificial technique as the takedown puts the individual at great risk thats why numerous BJJ gets knocked out by an incoming knee.

[@marcelodiaz5006]

The sacrifice technique are from judo... a lot of judotards in this channel, what a shame

[@akumabakemono1447]

There's this video where a guy (I don't know what he practiced, but is clear he knew some grappling, and for his mind set I bet he did BJJ) who in a street fight went to the ground WILLINGLY and started using his opponent like a puppet. He was the ultimate chad... until a woman appered and crush his head with a wooden board. All his "black belt ground techniques" gone with his consciousness hahaha BJJ is good, is the king of ground fighting (nobody denies that) and if you could practice BJJ go for it... but unfortunately thanks to MMA and all the Gracie's propaganda, a lot of people belives BJJ is unbeatable, that knowing how to throw someone is not necesary, belives that pulling guards and going to the ground willingly in a real life scenario are good ideas. The best thing someone who wants to be a good grappler or a complete fighter could do is to learn Judo and Wrestling (one of them, or both if you can) and THEN also start taking clases of BJJ as a complement.

[@G0dspelronin]

I was having a conversation today with a fellow bjj Old school player. We are protecting our opponents when we throw them from damage and are awarded 2 points for what would be devastating and permanent damage in a street situation. If someone passes my legs and pins me they get 3 points. I would love to see takedowns awarded a minimum of 4 points, possibly 6 if the throw has intrinsic damage value on concrete. Reality should always be the factor in point systems. Kosen Love!!

[@WNActivist88]

I agree. Points should be awarded to the most devastating moves.

[@bam-bam500]

I do like that idea.

[@thedopesickshow]

We do drills where we allow a training partner to throw you (or the other way around) and once it hits the ground it’s GO TIME, 30 second drill time. This has helped our team make the standing to ground connection, that way it’s not like “uh…oh yeah! I’ve got to keep working!” So the throw is allowed but the moment it hits it’s time to pin or submit if you’re on top, or sweep, submit, or escape if you’re on bottom. It’s helped me tremendously get pins right off the throw.

[@cancontrl]

i do this with some of the black belt judo guys. it's a great concept, as you described. as you know, an ipon doesnt end the bjj match, it's just a couple points (and start of a dominant position). Def enough time to reverse it.

[@blitzthekraken9832]

Don't band guard pulling, just allow slamming, and all of that will go out the window. The slam is the reason why, and messed up knees it was banned from judo. But ya if BJJ had slamming people would definitely be more careful of flying triangles and guard pulling. Especially if Judoka's went back to teaching folks how to properly slam, by creating distance with the head by the forearm and allowing their opponent's head to snap back, so they can't tuck the chin. The slam is all about getting the head to snap back.

[@darko1301]

On youtube you can see that judoke fights according to BJJ rules but I have never seen a BJJ fighter fight according to Judo rules

[@katokianimation]

Bc bjj rules allows all judo technics and not the other way around. What can a bjj guy do who spent all the years mastering the single leg takedown and the x-guard sweep under judo rules? What does his ground work worths if the refree will stand them up after few seconds?

[@blitzthekraken9832]

Judo is amazing when it comes to taking folks down. However, controlling your throw and the intent of the martial side is far from gone. The ancestors did not just fight over throw, the fought to control the throw from the start middle and end. They practiced it. Now a days it’s more about the start, nobody talks about the middle, and the end is just ketsa or submission. The middle is where all the control is at and the real battle of the throw to ensure that hard earned throw is not thrown away.

@@jtom416 If you are in somebody's (closed) guard, but manage to lift that person up to your shoulder level, you win by Ippon without having to do the actual dangerous and illegal slam. Effectively takes away much of the counter productive guard-pulling. The technique/rule is called Daki age.

[@spencerantoniomarlen-starr3069]

The strongest piece of evidence I know of which demonstrates the ubiquitous effectiveness of landing takedowns in a combat sports match is that when the Dutch MMA fighter Alistair overeem decided to take a two-year hiatus from MMA to try to win the k1 Grand Prix and kickboxing, he often swept, tripped, and dumped his opponents on the ground hard and disdainfully in order to exhaust and discourage them and it worked! He found a loophole he could exploit, K-1 allowed sweeps, and that's all he needed to gain an advantage initially.

[@chuckgreen3629]

Kimura's concussive osoto gari being the reason the Gracies used thicker mats would've fit in here. Sport BJJ/grappling has ignored slams for too long. If the semi can get the uke up, that should be an ippon or major points and restart in an advantageous position.

In a match, small consequent successes build into winning momentum. As a BJJ practitioner myself, I realized that taking my opponent down creates the momentum I need to pass the guard, and then the guard pass further adds to the momentum, ultimately leading to a submission. It all starts with the takedown. I’m not saying that I can always take my opponents down, but that’s what I’m aiming for. If for some reason I can’t take my opponent down, I don’t mind pulling guard, but I make sure we are going to the ground on my terms.

[@patrickamos5390]

Hi Chadi. I have recently gotten back on the mats after 2 decades of other endeavours. in the early 90s I was very fortunate to train with Hokkudai University Kosen Judo bu in Sapporo. After that I continued to train thru the 90s with high level Judoka in Western Australia and Western Canada. But the spirit (or state of mind) was very different. Yes these were strong judoka, but there was much less mutual respect, friendliness and comraderie than with the Japanese. I am just lately catching up on your videos, and I want to say that I very much appreciate the mind and manner with which you study and share this information.

[@retroghidora6767]

Oh man I think there's a statistic related to takedowns in bjj competition. Take this with a grain of salt but I think it was something like, the first to get a takedown (or maybe first to initiate mat work?) seemed to win more often.

I love judo but if it wants to stay relevant and survive into the future judo schools need to train regularly without the gi at least as often as with it. Bjj and sambo do a good job of offering both sport and combat versions of their art and I would love to see judo do the same

[@AnGhaeilge]

I don't think the survival of judo depends on wearing the gi. In most street altercations, people are wearing shirts/hoodies/etc.. which can be used for gripping. Judo's main problem is that judo gyms do not market themselves like BJJ gyms do. BJJ gyms are experts in online marketing. Judo gyms just exist and think that if people specifically want to train judo, they will seek the classes out. Judo gyms should be marketing themselves to BJJ players to help them improve their standup. Most Judo gyms are recreational places with low fees, most BJJ gyms are businesses with higher fees looking to make a profit. And in order to succeed in making a profit, they need to be able to sell their product - in this case, instruction of a martial art which has a huge amount of TV exposure through MMA.

[@katokianimation]

@@AnGhaeilge how do you judo throw someone who is only wearing a tshirt? Unless you are heavily modifing it. Also what if it is summet and you are actually attacked by some half naked jerk? Are you gonna ask him politely to take a shirt on before he tries to smash your face?

I think reality says it all....there are VERY few Judo black belts who achieve a high level in MMA, whereas almost EVERY MMA champ has incredible BJJ and grappling skills.

[@angelsjoker8190]

I think this "deer in the headlights"-effect comes from your brain being unable to process where you actually are as once your feet leave the ground, you have no real valid points of reference for your body position in 3-dimensional space, and even after landing, it will take some split seconds to process the information. When you are standing, you have your feet on the ground as a reference and usually visual and/or tactile information about your opponent, on the ground you have multiple body parts touching the ground plus lots of tactile information about your opponent while both of you only move in 2-dimensions. So the moment of being thrown is the most confusing time for your brain naturally.

[@pelejahosoba5280]

This video is so true because I have a training partner who is a submission machine and artist but hav bad takedowns but I have solid and powerful takedowns,if we started randori just on the ground he would submit you and you would find it impossible to submit him but as a soon as we get up on our feet anytime I slam him and go for submissions he can’t defend the submission or has any idea what to do next,we both use judo to fight mma but he prefers ground fighting or bjj stuffs but it seems most people can’t defend submission after being slammed
