I think a big part of that is actually understanding grips and my weight distribution. You should stick with it and see what you think!

[@endurojimmy3109]

As a Judo player for 40 years and a BJJ player for 5 years, the BJJ stance is very easy to overcome. It's a very unstable stance and common amongst beginners, you grip the back of their collar step back and drive their face into the mat, it's a cruel to be kind type of thing. Dominanting the grip is key in Judo, as soon as you have your grip attack. Bicep curls will help you achieve a strong grip. I did BJJ to help my newaza in Judo, and it certainly did help. I always preferred Judo, I felt I have a good scap and could let a bit more steam off than BJJ. Both great sports.

[@matkasim]

Which do u think would be better for street application?

[@endurojimmy3109]

@matkasim Personally, I would advocate trying your utmost to keep out of any street alterations even if it means running away. There are way too many variables such as knives, etc. However, if it comes down to having to use self defence, then I was taught never to go to the ground with an assailant as they're freinds may be round the corner and you'd be outnumbered and vulnerable. I was taught this by an ex paratrooper, so that makes a lot of sense to be me. Therefore, I would have to say Judo every time. If you throw someone hard enough, they are not going to get up in a hurry.

[@franko2053]

@@matkasim BJJ is quicker to learn and easier on the joints. Judo is probably better because you can get a dominant takedown then ground and pound. Otherwise look learn to box for a few months then start grappling sport or just carry a legal self-defense weapon. If you learn Judo with the focus on self defense you can pick it up pretty quickly, since competitive Judo and old-school Judo focus on very different things. Any martial art is better than no martial art. But between the two Judo is class and BJJ is good.

[@franko2053]

You can also always do both...

[@BinhtriVu]

Its pretty cool that you are keeping an open mind and cross training to benefit your BJJ. Judo has a STEEP learning curve and learning it for for BJJ takes A LONG time to get good because the reactions you get from a BJJ guy versus a judo guy is completely different. The BJJ guy will keep their hips back and low to take shots and not grip fight as much, a judoka will stay up right, grip fight, and circle a lot while attacking foot sweeps to set up the big throw. Once you find the balance between both arts you'll have a MASSIVE advantage on the mat. I've done BJJ for 24 years and Judo for about 20 and I'm still trying to figure it out. LOL! Good luck on your journey!

No joke I did judo as a teenager for a couple of years. In my 40s I went mountain biking and crashed on a jump going over the handlebars. Somehow I tucked my head did a front roll and came up on my feet w barely a scratch. Judo saved my life that day.

[@thomasschopflin6317]

Similar story: I trained judo for about a year as a kid and vividly remember how I hated the "endless" ukemi we did at warming ups. Fast forward 35 years and I crashed my motorcycle on a slippery road: Had it not been for the ukemi I learned to hate in my younger days, I'd probably be toast.

[@ForzaTerra89]

I’ve found your channel recently after having started BJJ after 7 years of Judo Uchi mata is the hardest throw in Judo. The reason your throws weren’t working vs the one that did is you didn’t off balance you opponent first - that’s what the warm up drill is for, you’re not just drilling the entry but the kuzushi to off balance your opponent or the technique won’t work - you’re pulling their arms up to get their heels off the floor so they get thrown easily and lightly versus force. Keep going. Well done - that foot sweep is hard to get. Also if in close frame your top grip forearm against their chest - it helps you control the distance and stops people getting under you. He used this on you many times when not attacking if you watch

[@lastivar4329]

@@JayC07 True, judoka always make things more complicated for some reason.

[@josephfontelera8881]

Uchi mata is definitely one of the hardest throws to pull off. There's a reason you never see it in wrestling or low to mid level judo. You'll see it a lot in BJJ because most BJJ guys can't defend takedowns

[@ForzaTerra89]

@@josephfontelera8881 if you watch high level Judo you actually see it all the time. It’s a high percentage technique which as stated in the video is a hip technique, not a leg technique. Even if you don’t hit it, the entry usually leads to some secondary attacks. It’s quite safe generally speaking. To get it right and pull it off at a moment notice. It’s definitely hard to do well. There’s a few different ways of doing it, but against a BJJ person with a low stance, if you can get in deep with your step it’s very likely you’ll catch them. It’s not judo people making things harder. Done right it IS harder. Ken-Ken uchimata less so, but you’ll struggle to pull that off without athleticism against someone good who doesn’t over commit their weight, which a good judoka won’t

[@Disc0spider]

I would politely disagree that uchi mata is not the hardest throw to learn in judo. There are many factors involved in how "hard" a throw is to learn in judo. Some factors may include your body and its mechanics, as well as the coach (or coaches) you are learning uchi mata from. Other factors can be the size, shape and experience of your training partner(s) and the consistency in which you choose or receive the opportunity to practice certain techniques, like uchi mata. What might be a "hard" throw for you to learn, could be "easy" for someone else to learn. So, perhaps for you, uchi mata has been one of, or maybe the hardest throw in judo for you to do, personally. I have been training in judo for over 14 years, and coaching judo for six or seven years, being one of the coaches at the club I'm at. Uchi mata is my favourite throw, as I am a fairly tall person (6'3 / 193cm) with long legs. In the past, I always found uchi mata difficult to do, and to be absolutely honest, my former coaches at my previous club were not good at uchi mata, and because they rarely performed it during their 'judo careers', they did not quite know how to do and teach uchi mata to others. They very much favoured other techniques, like seoi nage. About seven or eight years ago, we had a guest coach from another state run a weekend training camp (or seminar) and he is a 6th dan red and white belt. He showed me a different way to do uchi mata, and his way to do uchi mata was quite beneficial for someone with long legs, someone like me. I loved this variation, felt comfortable doing it, and have been doing it ever since. My former coaches are very "old school". They strictly believe (or believed, I don't know if they've changed their mind) that kuzushi (breaking one's balance) means pulling someone up on their toes toward you. With respect, this is not entirely true, it's not so black and white. "Kuzushi" literally means "to level, pull down, destroy or demolish". In a judo sense, it is indeed breaking someone's balance, forcing them to become unbalanced, but this can be achieved in many ways, not just one. For example, if you were to grip someone, force their head to the side (so the top of their head was effectively facing a wall) and their spine becomes somewhat curved similar to an upside down 'L', then their posture is broken, and so is their balance. They are now vulnerable. Without going into too much detail (and it might sound weird) but this is how I utilise my uchi mata. While there are many throws in judo, there are many different ways to do said throws. When it comes to formal demonstration for the purpose of belt grading/promotion, you would usually have to showcase throws in their original or traditional manner (which can seriously suck, I am terrible at the "traditional" uchi mata) but when it comes to randori (free practice, fighting/sparring) and/or shiai (competition), you can do a throw in whatever way you feel comfortable (as long as it's within the rules of judo competition, of course). Furthermore, while there are many throws in judo, a judoka (judo practitioner) will probably only be "really good" at a select few, say three or five throws.

[@BW022]

Pretty much the same for me. I was a blue belt when I started high school wrestling and... let's say they didn't like me. Wrestlers don't expect to be thrown hard -- as there is no point advantage in doing so. Then again, there was no point in doing so in wrestling competitions other than to stun them for a pin. I kept focusing on Judo, competed at national levels. Wrestling was still good training -- fitness, no-gi training, learning to face folks who fight in that defensive stance, etc.

[@909.3]

Judo for the sake of judo is very different than judo for bjj for the mere fact of grip and posture. Uchi mata is the king of all throws in my opinion every competent judoka has some variation of uchi mata in their game. But I suggest learning a good very solid Koshi guruma and ogoshi before learning straight up uchi mata since it’s a pendulum technique (in others words has complex body mechanics to have a really good one) tip on judo techniques kozuchi (off balance pulling motion) is everything with good strong kozuchi your already 50% there to throwing someone next time you try judo focus on the pull more than anything else and you’ll see how the rest comes naturally Great video Jedi

interesting to watch. I did a traditional Japanese style of Jiu-jitsu with loads of throwing but was different from Judo. For example a hip throw in JJJ rather than using your leg to sweep and tucking their arm, you would bend at the knees and get your hip outside their hip, tucking their arm into your grip and reaching around them. Another thing is rather than grips you would use strikes to loosen your opponent for the throw. Love the ending BTW

When I was competing as an athlete we had standing submissions and leg grabs in Judo (in fact, single and double leg takedowns are judo throws, Kuchiki-taoshi and Morote Gari, respectively). It was only in 2012 that the rules changed. There are a few things guys can get away with now that they couldn't with leg grabs (over-committing the hip or forward leg, for instance) but correct posture was just as important then as now. I don't miss flying juji gatame that's for sure. Hopefully you stick with it and find some techniques that transition well into your ne waza (ground game). In our club (we have both disciplines) we see far too many BJJ students showing up for one or two judo classes before a tournament and then lamenting that none of it worked. It can take years to master a handful of throwing techniques, and even more time to master gripping, movement, and positioning. The throw is really the easiest part.

[@justinha9846]

Awesome to see you trying Judo! One thing to note is that, while it is important to establish your grips first, it's equally important to establish the RIGHT grips first. If you grip first but you grip with the wrong side, its worse than having no grips at all. For example, let's take a right handed judoka vs another right handed judoka. I'm a righty, so I've trained to turn to the left to execute all my throws, for a leftie, its the opposite. So if I'm fighting a leftie as a righty, and I instantly get a grip with my rear hand, I'm going to be thrown. While I did establish my grip first, because I gripped with the wrong side, it doesn't actually stop my opponent from turning to the right (the direction all his turning throws are trained in), I'm also attaching myself and basically giving him the throw. Griping first is extremely important! But remember to grip in accordance to your opponent!

Okay, when you are rolling in BJJ, the issue is that he isn't put in a position where he could conceivably fall anyway. He's completely balanced and you are shooting your leg in in hope.

Yeah Judo takes longer to pick up. That’s not a value statement on it-it just is true. I have a lot of BJJ friends who try to absorb Judo the same way they do BJJ: check out some stuff online, dabble in person, attempt to apply. But it’s just not like picking up a new guard or submission. Often times when you see someone who is really good at a specific Judo takedown, it’s because they’ve spent hundreds of hours on it. Not hundreds of hours in Judo, but hundreds of hours just on that takedown. As for Judo grips versus the BJJ bent over stance, I’d suggest high collar or over the top belt grips (Georgian grip). It’s not my A-game, but a lot of BJJ guys have no idea what to do from there and pulling guard from there basically makes your opponent assist with the guard pass.

If someone takes a wrestling stance against you in the gi you take a deep over the back grip and launch them. Its such a strong grip you have complete control of their posture..even if they shoot on you you just sumi them over your head. There were leg grabs( i.e. single and double legs, firemans etc.) in judo until 2008 and the judo stance was still way more upright because there are so many strong grips over the back (that don't exist in no gi) and giving them up is such a big disadvantage.

osoto is the throw he went for, not ti otoshi

[@jetgrav7419]

Okay I wasn't the only one thinking that

Bent knees is because if you take a straight steel beam and plant it on the ground, you can tip it over with a fingertip. You are unable to absorbe any horizontal forces with straight legs. That's also the reason for the staggered stance. Square stance means you can be tipped over from the front or the back since there's nothing resisting the force from that direction. Also part of why judo stance is so upright because about 10 years ago leg grabs were banned from IJF competitions, to promote more upright judo with grips instead of diving to the legs. It's btw funny that you're having a coral belt as your uke. I believe fairly traditionally nobody ever asks a coral belt to train with them or be their uke, as it is far beyond regular black belts and you don't ask even them to train with you if you're just a student usually (in small clubs and being familiar with each other sure, but usually you don't ask unknown black belt to train with you if you're not a black belt yourself). Even though judo is not super strict about certain social codes (I hear bjj is often much more strict) as long as you are respectful. Coral belts are basically just not awarded if you're not a very high status person in your country and judo community, having done some noteworthy work for judo in general. The way they talk about uchimata is interesting. I'm not going to argue with them as they are such high ranking judokas they should know. However the way Kodokan categorises uchi mata is as leg throw and people like Shohei Ono sometimes demonstrate it in seminars as purely leg throw - meaning no hands, just kicking the leg back to flip the uke. Usually people talk about loading the opponent on your thigh instead of hip, but the blurred lines come from how there's three throws that are almost indistinguishable when practicing: uchi mata, hane goshi and harai goshi. As the names imply, two of them are hip throws (goshi means hip throw) and the reason I've been told why Japanese judokas often times do them pretty much identically when demonstrating, despite them clearly having distinct difference in text book form, is that it's more about the situation and movement. If your uke circles more or less, one throw changes into another despite the tori, the one throwing, doing the exact same thing. And also because out of respect they try to avoid kicking their partner in the nuts in relaxed practice. For example your partner's uchimata could be easily classified as hane goshi since he's almost kicking your other leg from the front and fully loading you onto their hips. Your attempt in uchimata demonstrates everyone's first experiences with judo for a good while. The tendency to hinge and bend over instead of staying upright. Which leads to overpowering and pulling through with strength since you have nowhere left to go and you don't properly load your partner on the hip. It takes a lot of time and reps to get rid of that tendency, because it's so much more comfortable that way, less challenging. Doing heavy high bar back squats can assist with that just by building capacity to bend from the knees and resisting the bar pushing your chest down. But it's not too common to advertise how gym strength training does wonders in grappling for some reason. One unfortunate thing about that tendency to not bend the knees and finishing with strength pull is that the uke needs to be experienced, it is quite painful to come down from a strength pull throw like that if you don't have a good ukemi. And unfortunately it often is beginners throwing each other like that so they can get the idea that judo is not for them because it hurts. But when an experienced judoka throws you in practice, it almost feels like being laid on a cushion. I think the one called tai otoshi might've been osoto gari. Doing uchi mata like throws in bjj is really challenging because you need to dive really deep for the very bent over posture. Yet unnecessarily bent over posture can also be a really nice starting point because you might not have to unbalance them for the throw really. Which is probably why tomoe nage and sumi gaeshi seem to be very popular in bjj. You could call "whatever this is" sasae tsurikomi ashi with a little bit of imagination. Fun video, I think combining judo and bjj can be a very nice and complementary combination. Bjj has so much work and different type of work on the ground than judo does. Judo ground work is really quick and powerful for the time limit and 20 second score from pin is also a different game, bjj guys just work their positions and snake around eventually no matter how much you try to stop them. But yeah, learning the steps to actual good and consistent throw in free practice in judo is a big process. It takes time to figure out gripping, moving, sensing your opponents lack of resistance/overcommitment to pushing/pulling, finally entering the throw (properly, that's a big challenge to not drop the drilled technique the moment you go in). The actual throw is the easiest part when you finally get all the pieces right until that finisher.

Never realised just how different Judo is from stand up BJJ. The key difference is not even noted and that is the use of the grip to break balance and set up throws. Ju is about accommodating or harmonising with the opponent such that the opponents own movements are used to create opportunities, think of using your grip to turn your opponents leg grab into your uchimata.

[@timnamhay3265]

U did it again 🤣🤣🤣, abruptly ended the video!😂😂😂.

[@yannaedc5934]

Those videos are so well done wtf man

[@schmo78]

Actually that bend over stance was a thing in Judo when all that eastern European guys were looking for leg grabs all the time. Since this was a bad (and also kind of ugly to watch) thing for traditional Judo, all gripping to the legs was banned from competition and is even penalized with a direct disqualification. In result this lead to a more upright posture of the players. Although of course all leg grapping techniques are still part Judo.

Love ya work Jedi 🙏🏼

[@minhquando100]

for all the BJJ guys out there that are trying to use judo, the position he's in at 6:32 is actually the perfect position to hit uchimata, or in my case, osoto gari. usually in this case, if he's doing uchimata, he can enter an reap the inside of blue's left leg (the leg with the knee on the ground) and flip him over on his back. if he's doing osoto like me, then he can just step across and reap blue's right foot right off the ground. also, the hiza guruma (knee wheel) on blue's left leg is also available; block blue's left knee and turn him over on that knee. from what I've seen and experienced in my judo club, just about any foot technique that's available when your opponent is standing, should also be available when your opponent has one or both knees on the ground. from what I've seen in my judo club, whenever someone puts one knee on the ground like that, it's game over, especially if they're going up against brown belts and above.

[@gibiore]

Best thing about Judo for BJJ is once you have that grip fighting down your opponents will get intimidated and just give up and pull guard

[@SM-ey3pz]

As always, great stuff. And for those that can’t read between the lines, I think you have a red state kind of mind.

Went in thinking the Judo would be my favorite part but finding out it was the ending 🤣
