Judo for big guys

Teaching Bogdan who is 6'4 260lbs some big man judo. This guy has been doing Judo for 4 months! Giving many black belts a hard time.

I started doing Judo about 7 years ago and I had come from playing college football- was 6'6 260 when i started and I'm about 275 now. It is really interesting just how different we play than smaller athletes, and it took me a while to not just rely on my strength and athleticism and actually learn Judo. That might be the biggest issue for larger players, ESPECIALLY if their clubs don't have any/many other 100kg+ players to work with.

I have to tell myself to go 10% physical and 100% mental.

[@cerotidinon]

Nice video, but with all the people talking in the back + the music it was really hard to understand what Shintaro was saying.

[@wildys6]

Please make more of this type of content! Highly educational for both student and teacher to watch you teach! It feels like it's the next best thing after attending live practice.

[@faustona559]

Shintaro, I love your videos but between the background chatter and the music I can't understand what you're saying in this one!

[@boxn]

Yup, I was interested in this topic but it was tough to hear Shintaro. Would be great if he could remake this one.

[@darklard]

Man the background conversation makes this very hard to watch seems like you tried to cover it up with music but that did not work... Love your content!

[@sleze]

Good guide. Very interesting strategies regarding timing and how to take advantage.

[@PublicEnemy04]

More Judo for big guys please 😂🙏

[@JD2jr.]

Please upload this without the music, it seems really important but I couldn't understand a thing.

[@MatthieuSCHREK]

Right off the bat, I'm sorry to criticize ( I'm a huge fan of the channel ) : I understand the editor's efforts, however, the intro : not needed. The music : not needed. Those two aspects are a strong deterent for watching ( to me of course ). No intro, right into the subject is what we love. This kind of "music" is just garbage to my ears, sorry to say. Don't need it one bit. Plus, it's distracting : I can't concentrate on mister Higashi's comments (I'm not american, so english is not easy for me). Dry and straight to the point were what I espected from the channel so far. Again, I'm sorry and I know someone put lots of efforts to make things more viewer friendly. I respect the work. I wish everyone a good day, and great pleasure with judo, Matthieu

gotta have that 10 % more commitment for the big guy

[@cineditslrb6113]

Being quite tall myself (around 6'2) my Sensei always tells me to focus on ashi waza during randori, and even though I don't mind it because I love uchi Mata and most of leg techniques, I really struggle with seoi nage, and sode tsurikomi goshi, when having to drop below my opponents belt level to execute them properly, because of course they are much smaller. Do you have any suggestion to give me on this matter? ( Beside using variations in which I drop my knees to the floor ) much appreciated ❤ thanks for your videos, always stimulating content!!!

[@Bl2EAKIN]

I'm a tall lefty myself and if I am allowed to give an advice - it's just not worth it to spend time learning these throws. You will NOT get them off against an experienced opponent. If you do get them off, it's really because your opponent may not be that good. For us tall guys, it's really ashi waza, uchimata, harai goshi, ashi guruma and o-soto. Everything else is too much effort for very little reward.

[@YacIne-bm3pe]

Bonsoir messieurs génial vidéo merci beaucoup bonne soirée

[@tugbandi]

I'm 210 at 5'8 and had a guy that size in randori yesterday. Hypothetically speaking, if you could only use one throw for all opponents, all sizes, all situations, which one would it be?

[@juggalosteef1]

Double leg

[@kuzushi_kev]

Someone got an editor! Love the logo/ intro, bg music, and all the little new details.. good video

[@BuildinWings]

Taking out larger fellas is where BJJ and wrestling excel. I kept waiting for the level-change that never came LOL

[@BuildinWings]

(No disrespect, of course. I know Judo is closer to Greco-Roman in intention)

[@doublejacketjimmy391]

Well the title says "Judo for big guys", it was never coming in a first place.

[@BuildinWings]

@@doublejacketjimmy391 Yes, you've arrived at the same self-deprecating point I was making in the first place.

[@brianhwang5277]

love the new editing but I can't hear you with the ambient noise

[@ZeusEBoy]

so if i go can i show you how it works regardless of weight?

[@ZeusEBoy]

im not kidding, judo is the only physics based martial art, not even jiu jitsu is. its anatomica and applies physics, but judo is about physics.

[@ZeusEBoy]

also much love and respect, great work to both of you guys

[@mitchhowe2201]

@@ZeusEBoy So you realize it's exactly because of physics that weight matters, right? There is only a finite amount of leverage anyone can apply on someone else's body. That's the limit of human anatomy. You could Ippon seoi nage with almost no energy if your opponent's arm was infinitely long...but obviously it's not (you'd also probably break their arm instead of throw them if you had that much leverage). That's why weight classes exist in every combat sport. More mass requires more force to move it. You're wrong that only judo is "physics based" - all grappling martial arts look to capitalize on human anatomy to apply leverage - use less force to still move the same amount of mass. But because of what I said above, there's a limit to how much leverage can be generated because the human body is a finite size and we can only output a finite amount of energy. It would violate Newton's Laws if weight didn't matter at all.

Love the New style of content 💯

Wtf with those guys over the back talking next to the mic

[@mmongiello722]

Nice intro!

First comment ❤

[@chrisdonovan8795]

You're the firstest.

[@chrisdonovan8795]

I'm mostly joking, but I always felt that Judo isn't FOR big guys. Of course, they can, and should do Judo, but maximum efficiency is best exemplified by a smaller judoka against a larger opponent. I believe the Kodokan Judo book uses the example of a small female against a larger man as an example of efficiency. It's not the hill I intend to die on, but something I often think about.

[@handeggchan1057]

I want to imagine a 5'4 210lb guy hitting the world's easiest Seio Nage on Victor Wembanyama. I think height difference is the more interesting thing, especially since when Kano developed Judo what was considered "big" was like, 5'11 215. Now you have monsters like Teddy.

[@milanojudo]

If you are stronger and thus have to use less strength to accomplish the same task as a weaker athlete, wouldn't that make you more efficient?

[@chrisdonovan8795]

@@milanojudo Sure. You can be strong and efficient. That's why a good judoka can play several matches in a row without getting exhausted. Of course, if the opponents' strength and skill is greater, the advantage is less.

[@chrisdonovan8795]

@@handeggchan1057 I used to train with a 5'11, 350 pound man. I'm 5'7" and was 150 at the time. He would throw with a drop seoi!

[@handeggchan1057]

@@chrisdonovan8795 5'11 350 is insane lmao

[@edwhlam]

Aren’t all techniques, techniques for big guys? Speaking as smaller guy.

[@jamiewalking]

Oh yes, let me just go and do full standing ippon seio nage on my opponents in my heavweight bracket, im sure that will work out swimmingly! Irony aside, volume cubes as size increases, so 60kg judo is not just 100kg judo with 40% less mass. This is the same reason that dropping a rat down a mine shaft will likely result in the rat just running away, dropping a human will result in death, and dropping an elephant will result in an explosion.

[@edwhlam]

@@jamiewalking The point is almost all techniques work better with relatively more mass.

[@jamiewalking]

@@edwhlam relatively yes what im saying is that it is much easier for a 50kg athlete to throw a 50kg athlete with ippon seio than it is for a 100kg athlete... on another 100kg athlete. So it absolutely makes sense for a heavyweight to pick and choose their techniques.

[@TheNEOverse]

Some techniques are little awkward for big guys to do on smaller people. A judoka in a tournament tried to hit a drop seoi on me and couldn't quite get me over because I was able to get my COG low and fast. Against the tallest guy in our tournament he just flipped him like a pancake. That being said I have been caught by random tall man drop seois before, so nothing is absolute.

[@moonrunrs]

Don't use music. It sucks and you can't hear what the instructor is saying. The Videos are getting worse.
