How to Actually Win Judo Matches - The Shintaro Higashi Show

[@user-bi3bd9qc6v]

In other competitive fields, boardgames, videogames, those kind of game-above-game layer is often called the "Metagame". It's a sort of, "use every advantage possible" mindset. Playing the meta is to use the most effective tactic available. Going off meta is to try to throw the opponents off. Though in sports like grappling and martial arts, maybe there are other terms people use?

[@GrinningNimbus]

Sportification is the term you're looking for. Or gaming the system/ abusing the rules. For example there was a guy in judo who had one shido but his opponent had 2. He knew 3 shidos and you get disqualified so he stalled his opponent so they would both be shido'd. There's no rule against it. If it were a real fight maybe it would have negative consequences but can you ein by playing that game? Absolutely

Great commentary. Managing the “soft skills” are where experts shine. Thank you for your videos.

My club has been training "off the grip" and "off the opponents grip" throws for a while. I think it really helps with setting the tempo and dynamic of a match.

Winning is important. Practicing to win is important, too. However, you also need to decide what sort of judo player you want to be - a shido master or a master thrower, for example. (Autocorrect turned 'shido' into 'shadow'.)

[@Sam-rb1id]

I agree and when I think of the best in the world like the Abe's, Ono Shohei etc they are all big throwers.

I would love more videos on these kinds of Newaza skills for keeping the clock running!

The sad reality about Judo is that it's taught in a very limited manner despite that there is a lot available. A person is more than the sum of their parts, so to with Judo. Judo is more than 40 throws, chokes, holds and defenses. Judo should be taught more on a spectrum borrowing techniques from BJJ, Japanese Jujutsu, Wrestling, and Sambo. If a person is trained on a broader perspective their knowledge is greater. That person would only need to be taught the rules and regulations for competition.

Tactics are important. All the best players are amazing at it

Hello Sensei Higashi, can you create a series showing what throws to master or learn if you are a heavy tall person going into a tournament, i really want to see a guide on that as my sensei keeps hyping me up every class because im the only heavy and tall and i really want to impress my sensei and get good and win tournaments.

Shido? 1 shido is nothing 2 shido you need start active attack Its strategy more You can be more passive to 2nd shido, because ippon win fight, not who make more attacks, or who better moves. Before 2nd shido, you can defend yourself, not attack if you dont have chance, make opponent way to lower endurance with failure of attack and wait for counterattack. 2nd shido you need start aggresive, because 1 more and you lose, but if you play ok with it, you make before 2nd shido eniugh advantages so you have more chsnce for succes than start if fight.

Maximum effort, minimum efficiency!
