Combine The Strongest Judo Technique With The Fastest Wrestling Takedown - Travis Stevens BJJ

[@gregorde]

This is ancient! One of the guys in my old dojo loved this technique (kenka yotsu leg uchi mata->leg pick) before the leg grab ban. I guess you can think of it yamashita-style ouchi to a leg pick.

[@davidtice4972]

What leg grab ban?

[@stefanwolf8558]

@@davidtice4972 Judo doesn't allow grabbing the legs. Similar to Greco-roman Wrestling.

[@guilhermeferreira8288]

@@stefanwolf8558 in the past was legal to hold legs in judô, in begining of 2000s they change the rules, 1990s ir earlier judô was alot more complete material art, a Lot stronger

[@rye-bread5236]

I want to train old school judo. There's no judo near me. Only wrestling and bjj which is what I'm more familiar with.

[@sprk11]

along with a couple injuries, the leg ban was a main reason for moving away from Judo. Our two local clubs are competition oriented that alot of the traditional judo is frowned appon. I wanted to move towards more selfdefence in judo but neither club is interested. Would love to have known this one when i was competing.

[@HeavyPower461]

I need more of these types of takedowns!

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

Which Types specifically? Leg Grabs?

[@HeavyPower461]

Yes leg grabs with the mixture of judo and wrestling

[@hirogaru9131]

@@TravisStevensgrappling yes, please!

[@Silduril]

Awesome, thanks Travis! Could you maybe also start showing how you would grip without a Gi? I assume for this one your right hand would be grabbing the head / neck?

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

Normally the lat over the back to hold them close. And left hand would hold the tricep.

[@fightefx]

I did this one in the europeans! I used to Train Judo 2-3 days per week in Addition to BJJ and even competed in Judo. It was allways a great Training. especially the fast aggressive nature of Judo helped me a lot in BJJ.

This is easily my favorite takedown combo

Same, was a go to of mine like... forever.

[@kentburgin8192]

Thanks Travis. Great technique. Love the presentation too - tell it like it is mate!

[@pornographicjoe9449]

This is absolutely what I lovely to see. Are you advocate of taking someone to the mat and then finishing with a submission? For example, an uchi mata to a juji gatame. That game I would love to see explained. Thanks for the content and reading the comments.

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

Uchimata to Juji is almost impossible to do. It requires a very specific escape by the UKE. But there are other are some other techniques that work well into transitions.

[@cornfedninja]

Thank you Travis, your videos are awesome!!

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

I’m glad you enjoy them!!!

[@davidtice4972]

Gokor teaches that into a heelhook. A failed Uchimata to an ankle pick. Nathan Orchard also taught it too in one of his leglock seminars I went to.

[@craigmeyers9137]

Awesome stuff. Do you know what a football grip wrestling front headlock is? If so? A football grip front headlock to a snap down to an Ezekiel choke. It's very effective and "sneaky ".. I'd say until others see this technique displayed- its unstoppable..

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

Nothing is ever unstoppable.

There is also a two on one Russian tie to an outside trip to a kimora as you fall to the ground and throw hips in..

[@erikmmccray]

Yup, back in the days before Judo took out leg attacks Gordon would have use do this and a rolling Kouchi Gake.

[@christopherlum9870]

Do you think about this more as an ouchi gari to ankle pick or as a missed / bad uchi mata to ankle pick? do you ever combine a missed uchi mata (or if you are like me just a bad uchi mata) with your ankle pick?

[@gregorde]

Christopher Lum I’ve totally never done this as a way of compensating for my shitty uchi mata...

[@joshuakeeler82]

More of this

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

More of what exactly?

[@joshuakeeler82]

@@TravisStevensgrappling Thanks for asking. More of blending judo with wrestling. I practiced Judo for 2 years and bjj now for 11. Wrestling seems to be a thing both sports can utilize. Especially bjj. Also the way you "dumb it down" or simplify it was great. Also including the drill for the uchi was good. Chaining takedowns for bjj. Blending arts.

[@michaelcorcoran3942]

would a neck coller grip work for this in no-gi also?

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

Yes it could but and over hook would work better. The over hook really allows you to roll through for the knee bar and also provide a great sweep opportunity incase the takedown does not go your way.

[@tudosomadoetudoquesomosbjj7826]

Eu vou fazer só tomarei cuidado pra não tomar um armilok voador

[@humanbass]

Se o cara consegue um armlock voador pulando em uma única perna enquanto a outra tá barrada pela do adversário merece um prêmio de perna mais forte do mundo.

[@shotokhan4078]

In a no-gi/wrestling fight I think it can be easily done while grabbing the wrist, why don't you want it? I think that grabbing the hand is actually more uncomfortable

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

It's not that it can't be done it's that your percentage of getting the technique or not does not go up by having it. There for making it a focused step actually hurts the over all technique. I want to make sure people know that they don't need rather than not doing the move because they don't have it.

[@rye-bread5236]

So uchi mata setup to ankle pick? I want to start judo so bad, mainly wrestle.

[@alexmitjan5370]

travis thank you for showing your talent now how can you take judo to jiujitsu and not grab your back

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

Are you asking how you can apply your judo in BJJ so you don't get your back taken when you do your takedowns?

O Uchi Gari to Kibisu Gaeshi Nage. It's a bit embarrassing to see an Olympian who doesn't realize it's a classic Judo technique. IJf is really screwing things up by removing all of Judo's leg attacks.

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

I came from the era of leg grabs. I fought the '08 games with full leg grabs in play. So if your embarrassed that's your problem I'm not!

[@keithflynn8934]

Wish ijf would still allow this!

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

It would be nice! But I kind of got used to the new rules it would be weird to go back.

[@andrewgiegerich5526]

Just google wrestling ankle pick much more effective

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

Good luck! I have high level wrestlers in my school that can't hit basic ankle picks because the grip on the gi throw them off. Which is why I showed this in the gi because there are better versions for NOGI.

Basic inside-trip to ankle pick. Took him 4,5 mins to explain what basic wrestling videos teach in 1 minute.

First off youtube doesn't like 1 min videos. And anyone who teaches basics to beginners in 1 min is a terrible coach.

The problem I have with this guy's approach is his...absolutism attitude. Like the only way is his, otherwise it's unrealistic. Maybe in his small circle sure, but that's a learned and closed mindset and pretty much cuts off his ability to learn something new.

I'm not really sure I follow your comment! Would love for you to explain further. As a guy who does multiple sports at a high level I would say my ability to learn is very high. Please explain.

[@ronin2167]

@@TravisStevensgrappling The problem with any sport art is that they tend to stagnate over time and any real understanding of what is going on is lost. Don't get me wrong...there is a place for shiai, but if that's your only focus then the rest of the curriculum gets lost. It's been true with competition Judo for decades or more. If sport is all that matters then your understanding is most likely up there with the rest of the sport Judo world, but there has been a great amount of knowledge and understanding lost because of it. Same goes for BJJ. It's been mostly reduced to people scooting around on their butts much as Judo has been reduced to no real understanding of kuzushi other than if I yank this way or push that this technique will work. It doesn't focus on the more subtle pieces of what was a self-defense art.
