How Should You Be Learning Judo! Keep It Simple!

[@wsl3119]

My Sensei said it the best “Judo in reality doesn’t have to look that perfect.” Love your videos, thanks for sharing the knowledge.

[@cucciafr68]

I've definitely said this before (and most definitely have been told this before): "Do this technique..." "But what if they do this.." "Then do something else..."

[@ktkt1825]

Focusing on a particular scenario teaches a great offensive reaction- over time, the knowledge base expands to include many of those variables- one at a time. Thank you!

[@franciscoramos7339]

There's always that one person who does that time and time again...

[@SasakiKojiro7]

Thanks again for the video Travis and thanks for saying this. I completely agree with everything you said in this video. What if scenarios are unproductive and only ever detrimental to one's learning. Learn to learn is right! Thanks again!

[@EduardTodor]

Hey travis, big fan. Consider having your face in the thumbnail format, I really believe you'll see more click throughs, you being who you are. Keep rocking it bro.

[@jiu-jitsulifestile2953]

You are 100% right you are an excellent teacher I wish I could have time to learn from you I watch almost all of your videos and you make a lot of sense to me I've been training since I am 17 years old competed in a national for my country 1 bronze metal on a Pan American and I have practice judo with Japanese Cuban Spaniers ,thank you for your hard work Osssss.

[@LeakyFaucett]

Travis Don't let critics cloud your mind. Just show what you want to teach and go on. Those that criticise have not won silver medals in the Olympics. Nuff said.

[@tomwalker389]

The question coming out of every student's mouth should never be - what if. Rather, it should be - how do I do what you've just taught? Failing which - how do I get there?

[@josephfaught1993]

Too true. If we ‘what if’ everything then it turns into a different problem with different solution.

[@jongler9775]

Excellent teaching as always. A big thank you.

[@xworks7]

I love this video, Travis... All the criticism use to come from the people who still have their minds closed to Judo (Or any combat sport)... I mean, the "what if?" mentality or the "it doesn't work!" mentality comes by ignorance... People need to understand that Judo (Competitive) need setups, special movements, feints, etc... Your mission as coach, instructor or Sensei is teach tools to grow and to understand Judo... It's not about one "trick"... It's about understand the principles to throw, then... You can improve, create or modify the techniques according the scenario.

[@larkhallman]

Great video . Learned from my Japanese teacher of learning the principles through repetition of Katas and really studying the fundamentals which will build proper development over time.

[@kozuchiosu9603]

THANK YOU! The same stupidity I deal with some of my own classmates who "questioned" with an if our 9th dan Sensei.

[@judeb3673]

This technique is the reason I want to do Judo. I had watched Lee won hee's this Tai Otoshi and he won 2004 Olymphic and then Judo was on my bucket list. I think it is simple, fast, so sometimes so effective. Thanks again.

[@sebastianhuang]

i watch it to get better understanding so that when I do it in class my Sensei can correct it and fix where it needs to be fix... I use your video as a guide so that i have some idea how to do it. but at the end my Sensei has to correct it.. but without your video I wouldnt have any reference... Thanks to your videos my Sensei only need to fix minor things. Because without your videos it would take me longer to learn.

[@judocrusader5171]

Travis i agree with your comments . Troubleshooting though, i reckon should be considered around the grippiing drill stage. The throwing principle wont change i think. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.

[@darkthunderplotts]

Love this

[@isalehyan]

I would do this myself when watching kata. “That would never work in randori” I’d tell myself. Well... no sh*t it wouldn’t work! The purpose is to learn and apply fundamental principles, develop muscle memory, and progressively incorporate the concepts into one’s arsenal.

[@judobjjcody]

I think people love to challenge even before they really tried it. Just like what John Danaher always said, we need to have strong faith when applying a technique. If they suspect the technique they can't have 100% power.

[@cyph91]

Hey Travis. I haven't watched all your videos but I think you're doing an amazing job. I am not a small guy but can you give advices on taking down people bigger and stronger than you. I am talking 10-20 kgs in weight and let's say 10-20 cm in height.

[@louisodendaal6200]

Thanks for the video. Definitely something that needed to be said. I instruct at work and I've found that often it's an ego thing. Almost like they want to prove the instructor wrong or show that the technique doesn't work.

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

Well said Louis!

[@m.a.central9949]

GREAT video. As an instructor, one of the most frustrating things I've run across is the student who wants to ask, "But what if..." before he even learns the fundamental technique. Sometimes it's been because the student has a little attention deficit, and just has a hard time focusing; at other times, though, I think there was a bit of arrogance and defiance on the part of the student. The latter is harder to deal with.

[@fiderdvis4714]

Agree 100% learn how to learn be a student of Judo!!!!

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

Yessss! Learn how to learn!

[@davidwhitecrowhinds145]

Thanks Brother 👍 . Keep up the Great Job. It Is The Finer Points thatake things Easyer and less Of A Struggle. Thanks A Lot Again .I Really appreciate you.

[@chegufarid8699]

Very good video sensei

[@richardbond6535]

Good techniques to work on ! well explained .

[@marcusfamo8154]

well said Travis. Great instruction as usual!

[@bjjjudo7415]

So well put!

[@shootits48]

Great teacher! Lol I get what you mean lol

[@karimkooros7234]

Good explanation

[@RichiXEats]

Like my sensei taught me, never wrong, just different

[@ijustwannaleaveacommentony6511]

travis tells it like it is

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

100% All The Time!

[@AdobadoFantastico]

Word, man.

[@HittokiriBatosai]

On striking videos the famous comment is "well I would just go to the bodyy"

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

Lol. They’re everywhere.

[@fromsamuraitoscience7184]

Travis I wondered how guys like you "survived" comments sections - man sometimes it is just a complete lot of nonsense. People can reflect more and experiment with implimentation before just typing the 1st random comment that comes to mind. I'm not a genius but understand a little about sport. PS: if people expect to cover all related set-ups and gripping scenarios they should also prepare to sit through a few hours of video instruction 😂 My credentials: IJF judo coach: level 2 PhD: Movement Education

[@Badger285]

Thanks,

[@waltjr100]

Hey Travis I’m a judo black belt and I’m thinking of starting bjj what should I expect as a judoka transitioning in to bjj and are they going to throw me with all the beginners? Thanks

[@luisquintino7308]

Shame on you to not learning the basics properly Travis! On that note, I am really liking your variations to osaekomiwaza in the newaza mastery dvd

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

Thanks Luis!

[@imac373]

true true true!!!.

[@tedcoulter5782]

yes yes

[@lildragon6415]

Question: what if my opponent does this to resist that throw? Answer: This throw is for this situation. If you have a different situation, then you try to do a different throw.

[@rogermayer5899]

Eyes and ears open Mouths shut. In Japan, no-one I mean no-one questions the Sensei. It is ok to ask questions but wait for the instruction to be given. The answer might be in there.

[@paulfarley9055]

KZbin warriors.....willing to correct a judo Olympian and high level bjj black belt while they sit on a couch in mum's basement eating Cheetos. The closest most of them have been to the Olympics is watching it on TV.

[@BibleBrotherFelipe]

this is lowkey funny! dojo trolls smh

[@XieTianXieDi888]

I feel like he really needed to get something off his chest.

[@tomwalker389]

I don't think anybody would dare do this in wrestling. LOL

[@robhay3438]

Ah the Unbeatable Warriors of the Comments Section! They turn up on every martial arts channel. 🤣

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

LMAO!!! It cracks me up every time!!!

[@tomwalker389]

You don’t go to a restaurant and tell a chef what to cook or what to add to the menu. So why would you not offer the same level of respect to your coach when he is demonstrating his craft?

[@frankmilo4805]

Calm down man! You're a really good instructor; concentrate on what you're teaching and don't worry about people's comments.

[@boingboingjr]

Somebody got triggered LOLOL 😁

[@TheSteakSammich]

He is teaching though. Teaching people how to learn is paramount, especially when he sees folks approaching learning the wrong way. He cares, and frankly I respect that.

[@rogermayer5899]

All these people with a What If? drives me mad. What if they have a tank, you get an anti-tank gun. another tank, another ain't tank gun. Where are you getting these anti-tank guns? Same place you are getting the tanks, making it up. I understand and hear your frustration. Except you are a high-level competitor and have some idea. That's the time to test their Ukemi. Osu Brother
