Joe Rogan on Why Jiu-jItsu Guys Should Know Judo

[@cesarcanete3402]

Judo is hands down, one of thee most underrated, underappreciated Martial Arts. Judo deserves more credit because it's highly effective in self defense, sport & MMA. Plus, Judo isn't complicated to learn & you can be adequate at best in a short amount of time. I do it & I love it. Its one of those minimal effort produces maximum results methods. If you know Judo, then the transition to learning BJJ, Sambo, Submission Arts Wrestling, etc will be a piece of cake because Judo is the parent/foundation of those martial arts. That's how valuable & essential Judo is in Martial Arts & Self defense. Can't go wrong with Judo.

[@RhinoXpress]

Yep. the biggest misconception about judo, is that judo just teaches you how to throw people. There is a lot more to judo, than just learning how to throw people.

[@cesarcanete3402]

@@RhinoXpress Yes I agree. Judo does have groundwork & submissions (although not heavily featured as much than the throws). Chokes & armbars just like BJJ. All the fundamentals, rolls, falls, drills, etc in BJJ & Sambo are the same in Judo (just a little bit more added to it). Also, just like BJJ, Judo doesn't require any strength or power, just leverage & proper technique. I've seen a frail, 93 year old man do some gnarly judo throws & submissions on ppl much, much bigger, younger, stronger than himself. That's what makes Judo soooo awesome!! Judo really deserves much more respect & recognition. I love that I'm a Judoka.

[@societybelike]

@@cesarcanete3402 I absolutely agree with u, I hate the whole, "KOSEN JUDO IS BETTER THAN BJJ" or "BJJ IS BETTER THAN KOSEN JUDO". I much prefer to appreciate all arts for their inherent capability in the street, even my bjj teacher says there's no harm in being open about doing multiple. Big respect man, love how much u guys and I aren't just tryna get into a massive circle jerk dick measuring contest. Lol

[@cesarcanete3402]

@@societybelike Thanks man. I really appreciate that. I always try & keep an open mind & explore various martial arts that best compliments my personality. I don't believe one martial art is superior than the other, I believe its more about finding the ones that you connect with the best, combining it & integrating it all into one. For me, I started off with Boxing, Judo & Catch as catch can wrestling. That was my foundation & felt that best complimented my personality & learning style because I 3 different learning disabilities (dyslexia, ADD & dyscalculia). Once my foundation became second nature, I started experimenting & integrating other martial arts similar to those like Dutch Kickboxing, 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu & Russian Sambo (both Combat & Sport). In the future, I absolutely would love to integrate some of the more self defense martial arts into my arsenal such as Filipino Martial Arts, Kenpo Karate & Jeet Kune Do. To me, Martial Arts is a spiritual journey of character development through the disciplines. Its more than just learning to defending oneself, its about finding oneself though the martial arts path. Its a never ending pathway because you truly never ever become a grandmaster on many disciplines or master certain disciplines, but forever a steward of the martial arts disciplines because of how much the arts have helped you progressed in many areas in your life. That's how I feel about martial arts based on how much its done for me & my life. I love it.

They also teach some kicking techniques that take into consideration the fact that you're wearing shoes and you might be wearing tight pants that limit your mobility.

What I love about Judo is that it almost comes out of nowhere.

First, he tried a flying armbar then standing lapel choke (Nami Juji) with his arms crossed when he tried to pull in I instinctively turned for Harai or Uchi.

Both of them can effectively cover the other’s weaknesses in grappling. Because bjj doesn’t have as good stand up grapples and self defense on your feet. But when that fight goes to the ground I feel like judo is not as aggressive as bjj in form so I took what I knew from both and mixed it with the kali and boxing I practiced on my own time.

That is such a good point that many BJJ schools don’t teach or know from a safety perspective. I’m a 1st Dan in Judo and have mid Japanese JJ Dan rank. I was rolling with a blue belt at my BJJ club and I was letting him work. We started standing and he reached across and behind me to grab my belt. I was going to let him throw me but work for it. He switched to a guillotine but didn’t lock it in. I pinned his arm to my chest in case he tightened it. He lost his balance, tightened up the guillotine and tried to throw me with Osoto Gari. I turned as I fell to protect my neck but I was still messed up for 3 weeks. I explained how dangerous of a throw that is but he didn’t seem to care.

Thanks Joe! It's great that you are acknowledging the strength of Judo. A lot of people know how BJJ was created and Maeda's hand in its genesis. A lot of people who watch MMA or practice BJJ forget or don't know that Maeda was trained in Judo by the creator of Judo, Kano Jigoro. In the early days of Gracie Jujutsu there was video footage of them performing Judo throws. It really does sadden me that a lot of those throws aren't practiced by a lot or most of the BJJ or MMA gyms. Well at least the ones to which I've practiced.

Thank you for this Joe, it is refreshing to here people talk about judo in such a positive light. Over recent years with the few on popularity of BJJ people were very negative about judo. However, I think alot of BJJ athletes are recognising the value and the relationship between the two arts I love so much. The most damage caused to judo was the sport aspect once these systems of combat become a sport with points, and rules they change the system. E.g. ground work in judo was negatively affected when they put time caps on athletes so they were just stood up as a result coaches just taught judoka to turtle long enough for the referees to get board and stand them up. If that's all that happens why coach the ground aspect which causes it to die off. I myself was lucky as my coach loved ground work so we got to do loads of it. I also agree on the coaching advice my experience of judo coaching is a new guy walks into a club, they are given a rough idea of how to breakfall and few basic throws then it's on to sparing (randori). I'm not saying all judo coaches are like that but they are in my experience in the majority. FYI One of the reasons judo players are so strong is a drill they do in groups of 3. Uke (the guy throwing) tori ( the guy being thrown) and 1 more. They would select a throw (let's say a hip throw). The 3rd guy would go on his knees behind the tori and hold onto the tori's belt. So when the uke performs the throw he is doing so with the weight of 2 people. This is just one example of these drills. Thanks again Joe.

Did judo and jiujutsu at Roger Gracie Academy in London. Great people. Tachi-waza (stand up technique jj) is much harder and scarier for most people (and remember this has removed atemi -the striking- of jiujutsu). Judo is more well rounded as a base for a martial artist. BJJ will refine your ne-waza (ground technique). Judo will teach ne-waza too (and how to apply pressure rather than just be passive/soft) and stand up (throwing AND ukemi) and make your body supple, hard and crazy strong. Plus it refines your balance to a razor's edge. My Judo teacher showed quickly how to do judo without a dou-gi on. Easier than some would have you believe. Do both under the best teacher you can find. That's my experience. Find yours.

After watching the fist ufc in the mid 90's I knew i had to change my traditional jiu-jitsu. I was already skeptical about the effectiveness of traditional jiu-jitsu because all my friends were brawlers and I knew 90% of my crap would not work. I dropped a load of curriculum, removed katas etc. everything that was useless. I combined wrestling as my friends and I were all high school wrestlers. I changed our striking from wado-kai karate to kick boxing. Our sparing was full contact with takedowns etc. I did this so we could compete with BJJ. We would enter the BJJ tournaments and go to all the seminars we could in Ontario. We trained with GSP, Couture Henderson, etc. These guys would do training seminars to make money in the late 90's etc. There was a grate awakening in the 90's. Traditional martial arts were highly ineffective. The one thing that was effective from our traditional jiu-jitsu was our throws. Similar to judo. From what I was taught, Japanese jiu-jitsu (traditional) was the original art. BJJ and Judo came from this.

[@IncredibleMD]

Most fights start on the feet. Learn judo so that, after one fighter goes to the ground, you're still on the feet. Judo was invented to be used against armoured opponents that could withstand strikes all day (because you're not punching through iron and steel), and its still used in very similar fashion in modern army combatives. The original goal of judo was to throw your opponent on the ground and then finish him with a weapon. Back in samurai days, that was a sword, but nowadays soldiers are trained to judo throw people to the ground, disengage, and shoot them. Anyone who says judo is ineffective in a real fight has never been thrown onto pavement and then soccer kicked in the head a few times.

That's Jujutsu you're thinking of, aka Japanese Jiu-Jitsu, the predecessor of Judo. Judo was invented in 1882 by Kano, due in large part to Jujutsu's negative reputation at the time which it got from a history of different clubs brutalizing each other with it (afaik, there's other things too), as it's an actual warrior art that includes killing/paralyzing moves, as well as striking as supplement. So you can think about it like Judo was created as a softer sport-version of Jujustu which focused & developed on the throwing aspects of it and removed the more dangerous stuff (as Kano was a visionary, and thought of it as more than a way-to-kill which Jujutsu was), and then from there BJJ focused & developed on the ground-grappling aspects of Judo as Helio Gracie wasn't strong/tall enough to do many of the throws which his brother Carlos could (iirc).

However, there is no substitute for good technique and taking the time to become proficient in the fundamentals. Please remember that both competitive jiu-jitsu and competitive judo are sports; players competing for medals, trophies, social recognition, etc.. Unfortunately, many of my jiu-jitsu and judo brothers/sisters naively or mistakenly conclude that the techniques are preparing them for combat off the tatami. This is a conclusion that has resulted in many players not performing well in street fights or in self defense confrontations. We are creatures of habit.

I have to agree with Joe. I have always said and believed the same thing. When I started Judo back in the early 60's (I'm 72 now). We also practiced Hawaiian JuJitsu (was original AJJI but then morphed into Kodendan and eventually JuJitsu America under Wally Jay & Willy Cahill). Right from the beginning it was apparent that Judo was needed to make JuJitsu useful. Back in the day, Jujitsu was not done at 100% where people would go all out. It was more akin to Karate of the day with no contact sparring/tourneys. Judo was 100% all the time either going for throws and if it went to the mat, control holds, armbars or choke holds, as well as learning escapes from the latter. I was taught under Willy Cahill (a great instructor and person) where I attained the rank of Godan in both arts. When I opened my own school back in the 80's, I always made sure my students where competent in Judo while learning self defense (I had also studied Praying Mantis Kung Fu from Brendan Lei and Kenpo from the Castro Brothers, but Judo was always my love and "go to" art.

[@jonathanw1019]

The most important aspect of judo is learning how to take a fall. Not just break fall, but when you get thrown enough that in the split second of air time of the throw, you become aware of your body's position as it travels through the air, and you instinctually correct to put yourself in the proper position. I've always likened it to Spider sense, or the gymnastics "air awareness" that gymnasts develop. It's fascinating because that time frame expands and it feels like time slows down for a moment. You also get the variety, from trips to summersaults to being thrown off someone's shoulders after a Kata Garuma. So much resides on protecting yourself and your head.

You're just lucky they are nice people with great self discipline partly developed through the culture of learning, friendship and respect fostered in the sport, otherwise you might not have woken up to realise and learn from your error. Lastly, you make an error in judo, your partner will teach you how to avoid it, even if that means you learn to defeat them. Many jujitsu players like to roll with judoka.

I think Joe sees a lot more judo than he realizes. He’s thinking of judo purely as hip tosses and forward throws, when most UFC judo comes as foot sweeps and other ashi waza. When Nate finally took Conor down on their second fight, it was a seasai. There’s a lot of inside trips, foot blocking techniques and kosoto gake I’ve seen.

[@ethanbell5508]

Go Fish just look at khabib. Most of his take downs come from judo sweeps and throws. He also has a very strong clinch because of judo. He is black belt like his father. He uses his wrestling Throws when behind a target and his wrestling to keep them on the ground

@@gofish7388 People said this already but khabib is a good example of the fight theory behind judo, the "around the world" concept

Thanks for showing Judo some love 🙏🏼✊🏽

[@LiamNI]

Gotta love Judo. Brown belt here, going for my black in a couple of months. I still have a lot of love for Karo Paresien (probably spelled wrong, but I can't be arsed checking). So underrated....

[@InstructorKM]

I've experienced that. One Judo guy falls with me, having guillotine on my neck, we fall on my forehead, on a basketball court. Fortunately, I hit with my forehead, is lucky that I had no too many (visible) injuries, just a huge bump on my forehead. That time I was 89 kg and him about 90kg. I consider myself very lucky, at that time.

[@Khendriix]

Started Jiu Jitsu & Judo two weeks ago, absolutely love it.

[@w7n424]

I’m not really to much of a Judo guy, I know the simple stuff and I know a few more advanced take downs but massive respect for showing Judo the love it deserves.

Going to the ground in a street fight is suicide. Your not fighting one person, your fighting them and their friends. Stay on your feet. Toss them to the ground and be prepared to fight more than one person.

[@tangatatoamma5240]

as a jujitsuka, I would have to acknowledge judo as a major part of the training, incorporating at least 50% of my syllabus to throws, 40% judo ground game with the remaining 10% as the difference to judo in that we attack the legs as well as karate type striking.. my art,Sakura Kan Jujitsu was derived from FujiRyu jujitsu which was the style founded by 3 masters: Funakoshi(karateka) Ueishiba(Aikido) Jigoru Kano(judo) , to bring about a fusion of the 3 arts into one. not for the feint of heart, no swearing to respect the art, and always come willing to die... coz once you on the mat, there ain't no turning back ❤❤❤❤

Find a place where you can drill techniques at half speed. Avoid any gyms where they aren’t willing to take it slow, especially for beginners.

[@willcee4966]

Blade Master95 the more dangerous things you add to your life the higher chances you have of getting injured by one of them. Just sayin. And jujitsu would be more of a hobby for me. Never riding in a car is almost impossible.

[@davidveater3711]

In my jiu jitsu class they would begin with teaching us a specific take down technique or toss and it was almost always judo. We would run drills of that for about 10-15 min then go into working ground for sometimes the rest of the class, other times we would split off into partner drills and sparing just depending on your partner. We had specific gi and no gi days. I hated getting choked with my own gi more than anything.
