Here are the main concepts described in the video: 1. Gain a positional advantage 1a. Do so by winning the grip fight 1b. Break their grips if they're already established 1c. If you can't break their grips, adjust the gi so your grips are higher and more dominant 2. Use snap-down to break their posture and create an opening 2a. This also creates an opportunity to break their grips 3. Use either advantage to throw

[@moroteseoinage]

Kids got notes 👍

[@yagskie1984]

You forgot to add something... 4. Give your opponent some GI burns while she's gripping tightly on your GI

[@crystalskunk3658]

If they push forward, get below and take them forward, if they lean away, crush them down and push them back, if they are rooted in the stiff arm, take them sideways

[@Terenc1543]

Discombobulate.

I miss Judo so much, i did it when i was 9-13 now iam 17. I want to start again so bad. It made me calm and be more gentle Edit: i have started judo again, tomorrow is first day of training, wish me luck🥳 tnx for all the love btw

[@engnoun]

You should start again

[@jeep4x4greg]

Yea just do it....

[@gonzalosanchezblanco6598]

I am almost 38 and thinking to take judo up again since 2007

[@twinsunpredator7998]

keep judo mate , i did when i was 12 to 15 , i gave up , ... restart bjj im 36 , now 38 , and i jst start to remenber all my moves . dropping judo one of the bigest mistake in my life and judo on street is the most lethal martial art

[@brachiossquill3637]

Judo by the way means the gentle way ;-;

[@Ownedyou]

The one word that is dreaded in Higashi household is "BOOM!".

[@Dsljesavaispasmedeconnecter]

"Don't even get me started on that..." I felt that lol Super useful content, as always.

[@matthewappleby8026]

I fought from 7- 21 competitively to a high level. I returned for a 4 month stint in my late twenties but it ended really at 19. I decided to embark on a new journey after lockdown in the UK. I got a personal trainer once a week. He’s my age 49yrs and fought 10 years ago. We are both black belts and we train the two of us in his gym as by chance he has judo mats. Fate or what. We focus on technique and fitness. I feel like a judoka again. Can’t tell u what it’s given me within. My mind is as quick and I still have the moves. It’s so weird but comforting that after 30 years I can return to a sport that is still very much part of me. Tbh it never ever left me. Judo is calm and a way of being. It is not just a sport but if you embrace its meaning, spirit and purpose you will gain so much more from it as a person. Love all the Higashi videos and they continue to give me inspiration.

[@hubriswonk]

Are you still training?

[@danieldonaldson8079]

I will be 67 in April of 2021, I restarted in March of 2021 and now a brown belt. If I why not you,?

But I just got my brown belt at 17

Why is so fast to be a brown belt?!!

[@raeban7295]

I get sciatica 🤦‍♀️

[@rker]

because i'm 83

[@jsl8461]

Awesome video! I love how Shintaro knows all of the old-school judo too, that move at 5:25 (harai-goshi counter to a leg grab) is a classic move and the tip on turning the grip palm-up (to get more lift, and also get more leverage to prevent them from joining their hands together) is gold. It's so cool to see someone who is well versed in classic Japanese style collar-sleeve judo as well as how to use it against someone who wants to wrestle.

[@EduardoHernandez-mz3eq]

Classic Judo rocks. I do not like the rules they have been creating, I feel like they crippled Judo

[@terrydighton3586]

I did Judo when I was 7-8. Now I am 48 and father of twins who also are training. Returning to the game and loving the sport. Thank you for the great videos and insights. I've forgotten it all (less o-goshi + kesa gatame :) ) but really enjoy the videos and their great content. Climbing and learning again. Thank you.

[@ryreis5913]

Your channel deserves so much more love. I do BJJ, there's no Judo around me otherwise I'd cross-train. These tutorials are so well done that I'm able to work them on the mat with a friend (and some minor corrections from our instructor) and they come out beautifully! Thanks a lot!

[@seanbanner2705]

I am a bjj student. I love this channel cause all the throws are allowed in bjj. My school doesnt teach alot of throws. Watching this channel teaches alot of good mechanics of techniques like being their in that school.

[@JoseAlvarez-dl3hm]

I started training bjj first and after 6 months I tried judo, I always wanted to learn judo but bjj has more schools and more publicity in general. In this judo school they teach so many good things besides martial arts, it is fantastic, I see why they say it helps you grow as a person too. They do practice ne waza so my bjj has come in handy, and on bjj open mats I have a chance to practice judo takedowns, if my opponent is not pulling guard. Judo is awesome.

[@tonytrojan97]

Good morning! Great tip for all judokas; that move seems to be an early defensive posture for most until they figure out how to counter it. Thank you Sensei and 'better half' Uke ;)

[@sway71]

Couldn't agree more. It's even more prevalent in BJJ where the standing game isn't given much attention. To me this was absolute gold! I actually learned tomoe nage from another of Shintaro's videos and used it the next day to throw a blue belt (I'm a no stripe white belt lol). Unfortunately, people noticed and started expecting it. This gives great insight into the position in general, and gives me a lot more to work with. Great content as usual!!

[@minorityofone1510]

and remember it wont work very well in the street either... if you put yourself in that position it is only trained Judokas and BJJ rollers that won't pummel your face with their knee.

[@jordiortega4436]

Thank you. I’ve had this question for weeks! ☀️

[@artemkanarchist]

Thank you very much for the video!💜💜💜 Probably one of the most useful lessons for people practicing grappling arts in BJJ environments

[@semisikaufusi2467]

Awesome rundown of this typical stance and counters Sensei...

[@MSQ1980]

Great instruction, Professor

[@jeffmiller8257]

Nice one shintaro u legend

[@maxsette80]

Very good methodical explanation!

[@tomsamsungandroid5402]

Thank you Shintaro. In such situation I like to use combination of sasae and osoto. First I make distance shorter by pulling and going away from the path of uke. In second phase I start to move in the same direction as the defensive uke who is pulling back.

[@pataankilla]

Great video like always!!!

[@matthewyarbrough1056]

I would have given anything to have access to info like this 10 years ago when I trained. My sensei even looked and was funny such as Shintaro!! Lol Now I want to add that ancient and long forgotten knowledge in me to my BJJ journey.

Not gonna lie, but I expected a Harai Tsurikomi Ashi at 5:25 However, that Harai Goshi was unexpected and Smart!

Would be great if there is a sequel to this. I struggle as a beginner with defensive opponents during randori.

perfekt uke

[@Deannatheos]

Judo is excellent .

[@shemshem9998]

i came specificaly to this vid thanks to bjj, I'm a blue belt in judo, but I've had trouble throwing them because all they do is play defensive and pull me and them on the ground to pull guard. its anoys the shit out of me, never had this problem in judo, because with propper judo opponents you always have a action and a reaction fast enough after each other. if you throw something you know they will try to counterthrow you, in BJJ they just stay back or lay on their back

[@marcelloferroni4606]

excellent technique, imbalance when uke keeps at a distance, I found it difficult when a black belt ju jitsu 3 ° dan kept me at a distance to get tired, I had not thought about this, my Judo through her can improve. Are there any other sacrificial techniques to apply? Thanks

[@ClaudioSanada1972]

Japa baixinho kkk😅 Oss 🥋

[@deeex7239]

Pull right arm with the right arm and step left or the converse. Pull the opponent towards your right ... then they have to stand up straight to correct their grip or stance.

[@moroteseoinage]

I wanna train with this guy

[@tearsintherain6311]

Now combine with double and single leg defense and you have a game plan against wrestlers. Awesome

[@user-nb8dm1gz2t]

could you hit an uchi mata if they were bent forward like that?

[@sbadreau]

In a no gi situation, what’s a good counter for people grabbing the back of your neck (frequent in wrestling) with 1 or 2 hands?

[@ForzaTerra89]

Can you do a video on the stiff arm alone. It is annoying and you must get asked it a lot but such a fundamental problem for beginners

[@SV-bo8yn]

Can you do this video but them from left versus right? I'm a lefty and when my opponent or I tend to take a defensive stance I feel like we're both virtually unthrowable because of the awkward angles...

[@CynicEidolon]

"Don't even get my started on that." Lolol

[@shannonhawk1431]

Can you front headlock in judo. Work the short offense

[@eliotquintana9802]

How to i learn judo throw techniques

[@MeuAmigoOPassaporte]

I'd like to ask you who do you think is your audience? Judo practitioners? BJJ practitioners? Both? I would say both, I am a jiu-jitsu practitioner, and I watch videos from judo teachers/senseis to improve my throws-game(or whatever you call it in english), but... I don't think this would not work in Jiu-jitsu, because, I face that same problem in championships, and it's hard to break that defensive posture. If you bring your leg closer to your opponent, your are going down, in what we call single leg, or they will take you to the half guard, not necessarily to the thrown, but I lost the world's master last year because of that, and I do pretty well to scape half guard, but the guy was so small and strong that I couldn't, so, my point is, you might want to review that technique, maybe invite some jiu-jitsu practitioner help you to develop those techniques: how to really throw opponents in defensive position, how to avoid: single leg, half guard and jump into guard from standing positions. I bet if you can make a video about those, it will be a hit... Next time I am in NY, I'll pay you a visit and we can talk about it, after this pandemic times, of course...

[@waterhead001]

I would like to see a video on how to throw opponents who are trying to punch you, not grabbing you.

[@nathantheophilus4856]

This is for sport judo/bjj. If u wanna see his no-gi videos they are in his playlist. You'll also get to see him spar a karate dude (under kickboxing and mixed rules in the sensei seth collab videos.

[@scalinaya]

What about if the person is 2 hand sleeve and very defensive

[@BURGAWMMA]

Hard to believe Judo hasn't learned the simple fact that a shido for any step out will instantly make throws better because athletes will have to hold their GROUND as this is the essence of grappling 🤔💪👈

[@Wisstihrwas]

the problem is, if you fight under bjj or even JJ rules, the opponent will just shoot on your legs from this position. Even if you have dominant grips. Any idea how to solve that?

[@user-bs4ck6zy8v]

Where is this dojo? Would love to train here

[@StevenHenein]

I find yoko garuma works

[@spikechang556]

Can you do this with no gi?

[@daviderusso1238]

[@tayzerjorge3813]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 The girl right? 🤣🤣

[@TheNEOverse]

The super defensive posture doesn't really work well in No-Gi. Or MMA or a street fight. Its a terrible and pointless position to assume unless you're trying to pull guard in BJJ or something lol.

[@quidautu]

She is beautiful. Very good ❤❤❤

[@endurojimmy3109]

This stance is only something that only an absolute beginner would do anyway, so I know it's kind of cruel, but I would just overgrip, step back and drive them into the mat, not to hard on a beginner as it's a fine line between learning the hard way and being bullied and put off for life. Maybe explain that 'if you use this stance this is what will happen'. Like when people used to keep trying moroto gari, after their first attempt I would mercilessly sprawl and their their face into the mat, just to let them know that I wasn't having that, do some proper Judo.

[@TheNEOverse]

You get people saying 'but in a street fight', as if this stance is something that happens in a street fight too. So tell them to do Judo properly or they're asking for a knee to the face.

[@eclipsewrecker]

Let me guess: some sort of diving throw or sacrifice throw ?

[@mohaastella]

I find that it is quite hard to do a sacrifice throe like tomoe nage when the opponent has their hip back like this. Because their weight is already back and can easily sit back to resist their body going forward onto my foot.

[@eclipsewrecker]

mohaastella I’m using “sacrifice” to mean any throw in which your body touches the ground first and the opponent is pulled across. If they are sitting back then a bull should work

[@sway71]

@@mohaastella I agree that having the hips back can add a level of difficulty, but the sacrifice throw has the advantage of not needing to fight through the hands or turn your body. Just pulling the opponent forward can do the trick, and if they're in that position, repositioning perpendicular to the line of their feet should be easy. I've definitely hit a tomoe nage in a RvL situation just by stepping in front of them with my front foot, then starting the pull, sit, throw. If they resist hard enough to make you not feel confident sitting, then they're so far back they're asking for osoto, ouchi, kouchi, etc.
