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. Thanks for a fantastic watch brother.

[@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.

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. 😂

[@gerardhart9052]

This was really good. Nakano sensei is so humble and easy going, he is awesome. Josh your mind is open and your natural ability is very good. The opportunity to interact so freely with someone at Nakano sensei's level is rare. One of the two principles of Judo is mutual benefit and welfare, you have experienced it first hand I hope it was instructional for you as there was a wealth of treasure in the easy going manner that your randori session contained. Many have to do very hard practice for years to experience that level of skill.

[@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

[@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!

Great video. Your technique is looking good. Interesting comment you made about at the 10:42 mark. That you would think it weird to be doing Randori with the owner of his own dojo inside his own dojo. I noticed one of the major differences about Judo and BJJ... 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.

[@joshbeambjj]

Thanks for watching! Appreciate that. Hahah yeah it’s pretty different, in a lot of jiu jitsu gyms there’s a thing about not even asking higher belts to roll, which I always thought was weird. Back a few months ago I was told I should be asking the higher judo belts to train as much as possible, which I think is awesome.

[@Coliat]

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.

[@andrewmk8514]

I was surprised Josh started on his knees and his posterior aimed at the sky. Sensei on the other hand was sprawled and locked with his hip on Josh's shoulder.

[@doublechinmask3744]

Yeah. Shintaro really locked his arms under him while Josh kinda took it lightly and made space. Josh also probably played it lightly out of respect too. But regardless, there is no escaping elite judoka pin.

[@holdenmuganda97]

@@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. BJJ has got to get back to dominant top control because when you go against someone like a wrestler they’ll often explode out if you’re applying good pressure

Lovely video. Your love for the martial arts is palpable. A note on your kami shiho gatame if you don't mind. Try to get your elbows between his arms and the mat. Restricting your opponent's movement while maintaining mobility yourself is the main goal. Your legs work to maintain your position on top, while your upper body pinches his shoulders firmly on the mat, your arms restricting his for added control.

[@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.

This was like a reminiscing of Royce Gracie vs Hidehiko Yoshida ! 🤯🤯

[@cjcurryjr]

These judoka are like everyone I trained with in judo. Judo generally attracts people people. I've studied a few but judo is the only one in which what is done in play in the dojo is exactly what you'd use on the street. The only difference is intent.

[@Kinotaurus]

well this was always gonna end one way :) full marks for trying though and for the humble attitude

[@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.

[@tomasin546]

As a Judoka, I think you did well! Good content, keep going.

[@joshbeambjj]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it

As a Bjj purple belt who started judo 5 months ago, i too feel during tachi.waza randori that my bjj purple belt is useless

[@thtphatcat]

Judo is legit. Wish I could train but my health sucks. As it is, I can barely handle BJJ privates.

[@Jordanthecool7]

It’s still great that your training in general though 🔥, weather bjj, or judo, they both make you a better fighter, and a better person

[@guererodelluz]

There's an old judo style that is still practised in Japan universities which focuses on ground work and developed by and for smaller people( sounds familiar?) ...I guess it's what maeda taught the Gracies. If you look up kosen Judo on KZbin it's pretty much the foundation for Bjj.

[@SuperGlobalKiller]

Nice sportsmanship, i did expect a better pin down from a purple belt, people just overhyping purple belts i guess.

[@syjwg]

The combination of Judo and BJJ is great. Ne-wasa can be the finisher after a take-down.

[@ecosse1314]

a perfect example to any student of any art...........magic

[@NateLarsonTheNetNinja]

What I see here is the Judo guy is playing a game and having fun. I think us western martial arts practitioners get caught up in trying to be so practical in our approach that we can't play. Maybe if we were fighting for our lives we would come out on top because we had to, but I think play is more important than we realize most of the time. Not sure why, but it seems to be working for Judo guy

[@FernandoOliveira1979]

that waltz playing on randori was on spot

[@joshbeambjj]

haha thanks for watching!

really enjoyed this video!

[@Marcianito100PorCientoReal]

I'm a boxing guy, but I feel like I really need to learn how to grapple too, I have to admit I'm falling in love with judo, every single video I watch is always a judoka beating a bjj guy.
