[@Yupppi]

As a judoka, I would never tell you that your purple belt is useless. You have so much time on the ground that I'd be happy to spar with you to learn more ground. Newaza is so neglected in most judo programs. Only a few people in world tour tournaments are confident enough in their newaza that they actually try to score with it. And the ones who are proficient in newaza often score with it in their matches. And geez you trained with Soichi Hashimoto as well. You're not afraid of getting your ass kicked to learn. Respect to Nakano though, from experience I would say those high hip strength pulls hurt when you land. The knee bend to get your hip lower is so key for the experience of uke (and also to make the throw easy for yourself so you don't have to rely on overpowering the opponent). Seeing this was actually extremely helpful and educational. I went through the throws frame by frame to see where exactly did Nakano see a gap in your balance or defense. Like what were your legs doing, how far apart were you, what were you doing with your hands or where were you moving when he attacked. Because many times he snapped like a viper the moment he landed the grip and it was free, but I didn't see it in the moment. Like that de ashi barai when he did it right when he got the grip, because you were moving backwards with your left leg hanging in the front and feet being almost in line. Those are the really important things I want and need to learn to really understand judo. It's also very noticeable how Nakano moves way way less than you, which I tend to see a lot in my club as well. We tend to move excessively for no reason and often times "loosely" like in normal life, an experienced judoka would punish it because movement creates opportunities especially when your steps aren't maintaining balance throughout. You can tell when practicing with a less experienced judoka than yourself that they're always moving more than you and they're always using more speed and force to do everything they do. You can almost stand still and only move when necessary often times. The end notes were fantastic. It's such a common thing for less experienced players not being able to relax and being a bit afraid so they tense up really hard. Or they're fully relaxed and just let you do whatever you want, seen that a couple of times too. There's no winning or losing in practice really, you need to know how to let the opponent play and get yourself into bad positions just as much as you need to try and attack them. Being less defensive allows to be offensive as well. It's taken a long time to really start to understand what being a good practice partner is. Even if you would dominate your partner, you should let them practice just as well even in randori, like getting the grips and trying to go for a throw. You shouldn't dominate them so that they get nothing out of it. And it's not at all obvious when you're focused on trying to practice to your best effort yourself. "The mutual benefit" is one of the fundamental philosophies in judo and I suppose learning that will never end. Because it's difficult to be humble and considerate enough to keep in mind that even when you're not dedicatedly uke for someone, you're still their practice partner and you need to take into account their practice effectiveness as well.

What a wonderful video! You, my man, are a humble servant of your art (BJJ) and a very promising Judoka. Your throws are no joke; I am a brown belt Judoka and you are better than I am! I began at age 50 and am not particularly athletic so yeah-- you would likely throw me in Randori with ease. You have a LOT of throws and they all look good and OBVIOUSLY your ground game is on point (a Purple Belt in BJJ is equal to a 1st degree blackbelt in Judo when you take everything into account. Josh- PLEASE STICK WITH JUDO. I'm not saying "replace" BJJ w/Judo-- simply saying do both; with your athleticism, mat awareness, age and crazy high level (COMPARED TO MOST PEOPLE) ground game you would progress to Black Belt in 2 years. Do it consistently and see if I'm wrong. I won't be. Going w/Sensei Nakano is like going against Eddie Van Halen in a guitar-playing contest: you ain't winning lol. None of us would stand a chance against him. He's higher than high level; he's tippy top. Anyway- dude- if THAT GUY'S in your backyard so to speak you'd be passing up the opportunity of a lifetime not to train with him. For the sake of yourself AND your channel, do both.

Judo brown belt/BJJ blue belt checking in. Love to see this stuff!

[@johnstuart4914]

Do you have a preference? I have done tasters in each but struggling to decide

[@judosailor610]

@Johnstuart4914 Both are great. It's hard to go wrong with either. Honestly, my recommendation would depend a lot on why you want to train. Obviously judo will make you better at throws and takedowns and BJJ will make you better on the ground. But judo still has a ground game and BJJ still trains throws and takedowns. That said, unless you have Olympic aspirations, I might give BJJ the slight edge. BJJ has a no gi variant that judo generally doesn't. And it's probably more applicable to MMA if you ever have any aspirations to do that. Also, while it can still be hard on your body, it's definitely easier on your body than judo. Getting thrown over and over again is rough! Lol. Of course it will train you to take falls which is actually incredibly beneficial. That probably wasn't very helpful. 😂

[@DCB1209]

@@johnstuart4914 I agree with OP that both are great. I have been doing JuJitsu (not brazilian or gracie) from my early teens. I think it is a great mixture of both, we are taught strikes and throws and ground fighting is secondary. Like OP asked, why do you want to train? If its for self defense I would say Judo or JJJ is much better in my opinion. Majority of people DO NOT know how to fall, that alone coupled with throws means anyone you're fighting is going to have a very bad day. Anywhere from broken arms/wrists/hands to worse case scenarios like fractured skulls. This is not to be taken lightly as it can easily be ruled that you went above and beyond self defense and find yourself in serious trouble. I also don't know about you but the last place I'd want to be in a real fight is on the ground, even if I do know how to handle myself. All it takes is someone to see their buddy losing and they decide to soccer kick your head.

[@Underscore_1234]

judo black belt who practice for 20 years here. I really enjoyed this video and I m gonna make a way too long comment: I can feel that you did your best following the advices and for a white belt that was actually really good. I m gonna comment the nage komi since it was a very good exercice, especially at your level. The master didn't attack nor block so that you feel free to experiment and accepted the throws when you attempted them. It's actually a great way to improve. 7:37 the osoto gari was really smooth, congrats. 7:41 you are doing morote but you go backwards and get off balanced, you endanger yourself way more that your opponent. 8:18 the o goshi/harai goshi is actually really good. I also really liked how you handled the sleeve grip to prepare it, from a black belt point of you, that's what would make you win the fight. 8:32 the ippon seoi nage was nice, you didn't bend much the knees and you didn't fix correctly the shoulder but the upward pull was nice and the global form was still good overall, it might lack a bit of speed and power but focusing on your speed now would be the best way to make awful technics instead of correct ones, the speed will come with time, also doing slow and good is challenging even for black belts, but fast and bad, no worries, anyone could do that. 8:48 nice tai otoshi, for beginners I think a good advice would be to tell you to do it when uke is going forward because it s more the spirit of it, but competitors also do it this way. 8:52 you did the tomoe nage while turning, it s not really efficient (yoko tomoe nage works but it s really different), tomoe nage works wonders against people who push straight ahead (see 11:06 ), it happens a lot with judo white belts but not much with bjj guys though, since they rather aim for the ground and tend to pull more than push. Overall you did great, especially on kuzushi, the big highlight beeing the o goshi/harai goshi with the sleeve work that was really clean, I also like that you focus on doing right instead of fast or putting strength in it. For the randori, he's way too experienced for you, you are screwed the second he grabs the sleeve, that's why kumi kata is so important for us, but it's not the first thing you should focus on. (ok at 13:02 you do a combo that I do very often, but you should push when you enter, with a strong and dangerous enough sweep attempt to make him push back foward to make it work, here, he goes sideways, but well, he knows this stuff, that was still a fair attempt). It makes no sense for me to comment the pin challenge, you are way better than me on the ground, and even though judokas are usually not beasts on the ground, your opponent is still a worldclass one. Thanks for the share and giving judo a shot. I also really liked your spirit!

[@rjvanloon4769]

Great reply. As a judo and (classical, not brazilian) jiu-jitsu black belt, I would like to add a bit to your advice; focus on technique first, speed will come later. As my teacher told me: "It's really easy to do a technique fast but wrong. Learn to do it right first, then with practice speed will come".

[@luisdawnfinder3188]

Glad to see judo getting the respect it deserves. Through MMA the world knows how great BJJ is now, but even in that ruleset the respect for the stand up is growing now. A lot of wrestling and judo emphasis these days to make well rounded complete grapplers

[@JohnSmith-rr3jt]

Actually its more like the opposite. BJJ has completely fallen off. It was WAY more effective in the early days of MMA because no one else knew what they were doing. Once people figured it out, it became a purely supplementary style to striking/wrestling.

[@luisdawnfinder3188]

@@JohnSmith-rr3jt I agree for the most part. Fighting has return to it's heavy emphasis on position, particularly top control in recent years. However, I'd still go as far to say that BJJ is a bit more important than just "suplemental". If you watch fights like the recent one with Khamzat and Whittaker, if you fight someone who is a much better wrestler than you, nullifying it with accepting the ground and making them deal with a superior guard is a legitimate get out of jail free card. That's why Gilbert Burns was and probably will always be Khamzat's toughest match up. Being good in all areas gives you more options to win

[@endurojimmy3109]

Kami shiho is also my favourite pin. I studied Katsuhiko Kashawasaki endlessly for little tips and tricks that would make it stronger. Whenever I trained BJJ, if I got the opportunity to transition to it, I would. Done well, it's a very difficult pin to escape from. Josh is doing really well, lovely to see him improving.

[@EinarHagen]

Nakano sensei - very inspirational. He is the kind of judoka I would be looking for if starting judo. Thanks for sharing.

[@minhquando100]

a couple points of critique: 1. Right off the bat the first thing I noticed was you didn’t get your arms underneath his arms, which enabled sensei Nakano to get his arms underneath you and into your hips. In my judo club, we’re always taught to get chest to chest, get our arms underneath our opponent’s arms, grab our opponent’s lapel, and then sink our hip down to create as much pressure on our opponent’s head. I don’t know how you’re taught the north-south position in BJJ, and I think the north-south position in BJJ is used more as a position to transfer into submissions rather than a position for pinning, so perhaps that’s why you did it like that, but if you had done it the way it’s taught in judo, I think you would have been able to pin him for those 20 seconds. I also think that fundamentally the north-south position in BJJ is slightly different than the kami shiho gatame position in judo. 2. you were too far forward. going back to the emphasis on getting chest-to-chest, i noticed your head was almost past his belt. in order for north-south to be a good pinning position, you need to put more weight on your opponent's head and chest. also, being that far forward in conjunction with you not controlling his arms meant that you made it much easier for him to get hand his hands onto your hips. 3. technically the challenge was just to pin him for 20 seconds, but you don't specifically need to use kami shiho gatame as the pinning position. if you were more familiar with side control (yoko shiho gatame) or the scarf hold (kesa gatame) then you should have used those positions. i personally prefer kesa gatame myself because there are so many great submission opportunities and transitions in addition to the pinning position. lastly, i wouldn't say your bjj purple belt is useless, but just like anytime you transition from one martial art to another, you have to make adjustments in your technique. i recommend you stick with judo and continue to study judo newaza more in depth. from my experience, i believe judo newaza offers a very different perspective on groundwork than what you're used to in bjj. the goal of judo newaza isn't necessarily to innovate on ground techniques and become the best ground fighter like in bjj, the goal of judo newaza is to finish a fight on the ground as quickly as possible; and as such, judo newaza emphasizes speed, top pressure, and aggression more so than finesse. also, in the future, you should go back to sensei nakano and ask him for two rounds of newaza where one person starts on top and one person starts belly down or in turtle and then you switch positions. win by pin or submission. person on top has 10 seconds to get into position for a pin or a submission. if the person on top gets into the position for a pin within 10 seconds, they have to hold down their opponent for an additional 20 seconds for a pin. this is a drill we often do in my judo club. it'll help you get an idea of how different judo newaza is to bjj groundwork.

Great video and I enjoyed watching it. In that north south pinning position, I realized the difference between yours and Nakano-sensei technique. It's hard to explain but sensei used like a double underhook position trapping both your arms and while pulling your belt, he drives his upper body and shoulder down keeping you pinned on the mat. Also maintaining heavy hips and his legs spread to prevent you potentially turning him over or whatever situations that may occur. Hopefully this explanation makes sense haha.

@@doublechinmask3744as someone who’s done both because pinning can win the match outright judo guys will explode out so they’re harder to hold down. Also they put more top pressure into the pin. BJJ guys (a lot of them not all) tend to try to float in the position and hunt the sub but this leaves way less pressure.

In Judo you are encouraged to work out with the head sensei or any sensei for that matter...It is sometimes considered rude not to ask to work out. In BJJ they dont allow lower belts to ask high belts...from what I have experienced. I always found that funny. In Judo it is my goal to have my students to one day beat me or tap me. Nothing makes me happier than to have a lower belt do well against me. This is the JUDO way.

He was taking uke for you. Incredible. An amazing teacher.

[@TheDrewb666]

the music choices are great. good jorb

[@NoPhilters]

We need a follow up video of newaza randori of bjj purple vs judo black against nakano-sensei!!! Waiting for it🎉

[@RoofusMurphy]

8 time team Japan is no joke! Very respectful exchange!

[@JDsModernMartialArts]

Super good Sensei skill and attitude! Also great beginners attitude and effort. Really good to see good learning and practice. Very good video. 😊

[@cmw12]

Such a humble video. I didn’t think Nakano Sensei would achieve a flawless victory like that. Truly impressive.

[@Peekingduck]

That was such a great video. Thank you! LOVED IT ! ! !

[@danzigrulze5211]

That advice in the end really extends to all training.

[@aade3574]

for a video about a really complex sport it is actually well explained in the big lines, well done on that, you made our beautiful sport quite understandable

[@inside_fighting]

I think you did a great job of highlighting how judo fundamentals are awesome

[@Bobbyblue22]

Shintaro has some great KZbin Judo instructionals

[@Olliver2413]

I held down a purple belt in your martial arts . For 30 sec . And i am just 13 and mid pro karate.

[@anthonybird546]

When I read hardcore into practicing judo, I loved practicing JJ too. My dojo only had classes on Monday and Thursday, but JJ had classes most days, so I got practice basically as much as I wanted. Both fun in their own right, with some really helpful crossover once you adjust to what the different schools want you to focus on, especially with newaza. I enjoyed the vibe switch too.

[@Alcagaur1]

The vibe here is wonderful and a credit to both disciplines and all the participants.

[@thiagonogueira2940]

Brother, I loved this video! The energy, the humility and respect and vibe! Thank you a lot! New sub here!! 🙌😎

[@jooyoungleephd]

Awesome video. Great sportsmanship and love seeing a bjj guy highlight the strength of judo. I started training judo after getting my black belt in bjj and wish I would’ve started much earlier!

[@ericthomas6356]

Soundtrack for the randori session was perfect.

[@joshprice7436]

I love this video. Well done. I had fun watching this one.

[@andrewwiggin7433]

You're facing an olympic level judoka on their terms. You're gonna get ragdolled

[@bartfart3847]

I love to see true Martial Artists growing and learning from each other.

[@koden24]

This was very enlightening. Thats why its called Martial Arts! Thank you Gentleman!!

[@Christian_Prepper]

1:03 *Nakano practicing a variation of "Hide-In-Shadows"?* 😆

[@Khan-bm8ks]

Amazing video as always. Like I said last time, it's beautiful doing cross-training and can work wonders for your skill. You can try Shintaro Higashi, one of my favorite Judokas based in US. P.S. Doing randori with Hashimoto is mind-blowing, but also a privilege!! If you have the blessing and luck to come by him on your path, try Ono Shohei.

[@gamemak0r]

You're definitely not far off yellow belt in judo

[@sushinfudoshin8991]

Sensei Nakano was going like at 20% of his real capacity. NIce video !

[@joshbeambjj]

Indeed he was hahaha thanks for watching!

[@sushinfudoshin8991]

@@joshbeambjj I would have loved to visit that dojo. It looked great to train, with a great teacher.

[@leny7829]

My wrist was hurting watching this. I recall always having to tell myself to not let my wrist bend backwards so not bad but just a little advice as I didn't see it mentioned in the few comments I read.

[@sergiomartinez5946]

Judo is awesome! 1 month old BJJ white belt here. I'd like to learn some judo as I value those throws for self defense. I feel like BJJ has good ground work, but I like starting standing up.

[@AllAhabNoMoby]

This was a lot of fun to watch. Judo brown belt, BJJ blue belt here. 👍

[@ramitospremium2292]

Love the video man, especially Sensei Nakano, he's the best.

[@nobodynothing00000]

We had a Korean judo and aikido expert stay with our grappling academy over this past summer - awesome guy. He'd armbar you at the speed of light, then try to explain to you how easily you offered up your arm to him. Super nice guy.

[@elliotlee233]

That took me right back to my teenage years, I was my boarding school' s Judo captain. It taught me so much, and I believe helped prepare me for life 😊

[@kallepikku4991]

Love judo. Such an underrated martial arts in modern day.

[@allafleche]

That newaza part was impressive, Judo rules.
