Judo's double leg takedowns : The various forms

[@vonclap]

A good friend, judoka, wrestler and bouncer who was very short used morote gari twice in street confrontations that I witnessed, on both occasions the 'wind' was knocked out of the aggressors

[@Chadi]

Powerful when done right

[@burningknuckle26]

thats the power of judo

[@Delta3angle]

Something I hated about Judo initially was how pedantic judoka are with their nomenclature. But having grown up wrestling in the United States it is so helpful to have such a universal and detailed naming system. It definitely ties back to judo's (honestly) more intellectual training approach.

[@Chadi]

Exactly

[@Milo19970]

This video convinced me to sign up for Judo again. I stopped doing Judo at 15 after 6 years because almost all moves in this video are banned at that age in the Netherlands. But now that I'm older (23) and much stronger I feel like I can be competitive in this beautiful sport again.

[@Chadi]

Great news! I wish you all the best

Damn chadi this one has been in my watch later for three years. Well worth coming back for

Morote gari is one of my favorite moves... thank you for uploading a video on it brother

You're very welcome John

As I have said before, allowing one arm leg grabs would be a good start.

[@Chadi]

I agree

Thank you for this and get well soon🙏.

Thank you 🙇🏻‍♂️

There was a legitimate problem in 2008, but the powers that be panicked and threw the baby out with the bathwater. The problem of mindless leg grabbing and sprawling could have been solved by: 1. Raising the standard of Ippon 2. Penalizing stalling 3. A similar rule as described by Chadi/ Freestyle Judo, whereby you need to have a grip before going for a leg grab. I'd love to see Kata Guruma and Te Guruma come back, but I'm not holding my breath...

[@Chadi]

Agreed

[@Kwisatz-Chaderach]

They will

[@NickKano11]

@@Kwisatz-Chaderach Believe me I'd be thrilled if they came back, but I don't see an incentive for the IJF to do it.

[@laperrablanca1]

Very helpful and interesting. In Ohshima Sensei Shotokan Karate we have very similar takedowns as part of our nage waza - part of the curriculum for 4th dan test. For example, morote gari is called udewa and the technique is almost the same. Also sukui nage, we call it gyaku tsuchi or saktsuchi, a very similar technique. I enjoy very much watching your channel, thank you!

[@laperrablanca1]

Once in a cross training camp we were practicing takedowns and grappling techniques. My training parter made me very effective two legs takedowns... I asked him how is he so proficient... He told me that he played rugby for many years...

[@ryanwilliams9984]

Definitely agree that some of the morote gari examples are pretty atrocious and sukui nage version of the double leg (double leg version of sukui nage?) should be the standard in judo. Hope you're well.

[@Chadi]

Thank you Ryan

What are some good throws and takedowns that a 140lb man can execute well on heavier opponents of 180lb-215 lbs? Thanks bro love your videos and enthusiasm for judo💯👍🏽

[@user-bk1mc]

Banned moves would back..

[@bartangel4867]

This is an interesting video. But i wish there was more information on actual technique how those moves are accomplished. Those moves would be very effective if executed. even ones that just put your opponent to the ground because when they are on the ground they are more vulnerable. But it seems to me that strength seems to still be large part of it. what do you do if an opponent is both heavier then you and more athletic than you and knows how to sprawl well?

Please do a Tokio Hirano video or if you have already please link me.

Also what forms of judo aloue the leg stuff I've heard of freestyle judo but not sure the difference between them?

Freestyle Judo is an offshoot devised by Steve Scott, basically allowing for the full variety of throws and rewarding big ippons.

[@joeguillaume296]

All these techniques equal death. That being said I don't understand the idealist mentality in judo when it comes to technique. If it works use it. Back rounded or not who cares. The goal is to win. I'm just talking competition, in the dojo that's entirely different.

[@Chadi]

I see your point Joe but the thing is rules should be put for 2 reasons, 1 safety and 2 to take the sport/art to the next level, rounded back and grabbing pants and running can seriously injure you either your back, or different contexts, like guillotines in bjj and knees to the face in MMA/streets and it looks absolutely horrendous and reflects poor judo even if it scores, it's important to have upper body control before going to the legs, first it's judo (kuzushi tsukuri and kake) and second it will result in a well controlled and executed throw, have you ever seen a sloppy te/kata guruma from the past?? No, why? Because they started by controlling and gripping the upper body, you only see sloppy doubles, if they came from the kumi kata they'd 100% far more efficient and way more picturesque and monumental.
