My friend trained Judo in Japan some time ago. We're from the States. He said our training methods are vastly different. His school at the time focused a lot on technique. While his training in Japan was randori-based at his level. He said some days they did nothing but randori for three hours straight

[@counterkidnapping1737]

There's one style, Travis Steven, he emphasized on grip fighting

[@counterkidnapping1737]

I'm interested in Brazilian style. They looked alike BJJ. Only difference they don't pull guard.

[@socalbeachieboy6135]

@JW A its extremely diverse. Given its a melting pot of backgrounds out here. It'd be hard to cover

[@julesthewalker]

Akiyama once said in an interview that the main difference between korea and japan (at the time of the interview) is: while he was coming up in japan was that the japanese stressed tradition and traditional grips. The koreans didnt care. If a technique worked they used anything.

[@Chadi]

Makes sense

[@JourneyToTheCage]

The Koreans got what martial arts really is. A method of fighting

[@Kitajima2]

I don't think it quite accurate to say it's about tradition. We view it as fundamentals. No matter how much you visualize a creative set of moves in your head, you're not going to get there against an equally matched opponent who can do it without thinking

[@thechosenalph4633]

​​@@Chadi I am Mongolian and I have heard from several different of our judokas (including 1950s generation) what makes french judokas unique is that they have overall the strongest grip and forearm strength, so wrestling them quickly tires hand. Indeed breaking grips require tremendous hand strength IMO. Interestingly however, the same cannot be said about germans, dutch or spanish judokas, they are more or less similar to other country's athletes

[@johncampbell3940]

Chadi, you have the most intellectual approach to judo that I have seen in English. You are a real youtube treasure. You should do a video on judo in Lebanon or the middle east in general. Most of us in the west have not seen too many judokas apart from the north Africans. Much respect.

Brazilian Judo has a very strong influence from Japanese Judo. Actually, Judo sprout in Brazil within Japanese colonies, and for a long while Brazilian Judoka were naturalized Japanese, nissei or sansei (even today, and we see a similar effect in the USA and Canada). So, in Brazil the Japanese Kodokan Judo is the model. Of course, more and more Brazilian Judoka are cross-training with BJJ, which is actually going back to Kano Ju Jitsu roots, making a real rescue to the art. In my humble opinion, the weakness of Brazilian Judoka, as well as other sports practitioners, may be a somewhat fragile mindset, being very hot-blooded, and easily disturbed by outer effects or any sort of problem. The best Judoka in Brazil tend to be the ones who learn to be the coolest in their feelings.

[@Chadi]

I agree

[@theItalianshamrock]

I dont know the rules of judo... but why is the Brazilian going for submissions like it is jiu jitsu while almost all the other countries the fighters will throw or take down their opponent then stop..? Im sorry if it is a stupid question but i have never actually watch judo, only some short clips

[@fernandohsantos]

@@theItalianshamrock actually, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Judo have different rules set. In Judo if you throw your opponent clean on his back, its scored Ippon and the bout is over, like a KO. In Judo Ippon can be also achieved by immobilizing the opponent for 25 seconds, submission, penalties or tow wazari (almost Ippon) scores. In BJJ throwing successfully only gains 2 points, and the bout is over only by submission.

[@theItalianshamrock]

@@fernandohsantos oh ok thank you! I saw highlights of judo with mostly throws so i was confused to see ground fighting and submissions

[@vittocrazi]

@@theItalianshamrock its because of the ippon, dos Santos said before. but this happens then the Ippon is very apparent. if there is a pinch of doubt, most of the time they will try to transition into a favorable groundowrk position as quick as possible, sometimes landing submissions in less tan 2 seconds from the execution of the throw.

[@BrenoviskxD]

i dunno about you guys, but here in brazil all judo classes that i took, it was always some judo and jiujitsu action, the randori dont stop sometimes when you fall on the ground, it continues until submission. Obviously is not everyday... but 3 times in a week the randori goes like that

[@teemun3979]

I believe that this is becoming more popular in the US as well in nonprofessional circles due to bjj's popularity, at least in my limited experience. Often at my college in the Judo class we will do days with no time limit once it hits the ground or no gi days fairly frequently as well. Given, a good amount of the class also goes to a local MMA gym, so that may impact the decisions some.

[@AChampagneWeezy]

That how we train at my dojo here in st.louis Missouri , but i also told my sensei im aiming for mma .... Plus everyone there crosstrains in BJJ

[@BrenoviskxD]

@@AChampagneWeezy wishing all lucky for you man, i wish i could do the same!

[@ghola0]

That's great, it's a huge drawback that in most Judo clubs around the world, in the regular tachiwaza standing randori, you must stop when it hits the ground instead of continue into newaza transition like in real match; often I hear the excuse that it's not safe to have some on ground while others are still in tachiwaza, but it really hinders your ability. On the reverse also, jiujitus clubs often don't allow standing

[@BrenoviskxD]

• yeah... i migranted to jiujitsu 2 years ago and made sure that the gym allows to start on standing position. But even if it is allowed to do so, people starts on the floor anyways 😂😂

[@henrikg1388]

I never thought of it like that before, but it really makes sense that your physical stature transitions into your style of grappling. If you are bigger built, you will tend to use more brute strength and the other way around. Where do you find the most heavily, tall built people in the world? In general I believe it is in Caucasia, Central Africa and also Scandinavia. It makes sense that, in general, their style would reflect their approach to grappling. Thank you for another great video.

[@Chadi]

Thank you Henrik

[@Caucasian_Shepherd]

Great video. I'd like to add a few things about the similarity between Georgian and Russian judo: Caucasian Russian judo and Georgian judo are indeed similar because Georgia is in the Caucasus as well. We share some cultural elements and our fighting styles look similar. Russian judokas who are also ethnically Russian, however, such as Pulyaev, Yartcev, Nifontov, etc. are rather different. So, we need to distinguish between the "real" Russian judokas and Caucasian Russian judokas, as well.

[@Chadi]

Thank you!

[@sinoconsult3842]

[@Caucasian_Shepherd]

@@sinoconsult3842 Yes, because North Caucasians represent Russia. They don't represent themselves. Same with freestyle wrestling. If Dagestan was a separate country, still it would be one of the top countries in freestyle wrestling.

[@jamescooper1968]

You should talk about the changes since "Internet Judo." In fifty years, I have seen Judo change so much because of media. It started with video recorders and VCRs, when it wasn't just learning "teacher to student." I remember when Sankaku Jime was introduced--we learned it by watching a tape and practicing in a guys living room. Now, with the internet, techniques and ideas are transmitted almost instantly. Thus, "Internet Judo."

[@igorlacava1337]

Man, if a person knows how to use it correctly, it is a gift from life. But, if someone is passing through the same thing as I am, it is a virtual disaster. Because you are in contact with so many techniques or ways to do the same thing, that it confuses you. You reach the point you really don't know which technique you saw is the best for you to practice. And trying all of them is out of question. It so easy access, that gets you on a hard point of which move picking up to practice.

[@olivergatz7216]

Fantastic video, reminds me of time spent at the Budokwai in London, loads of different styles and nationalities duking it out on the mats.

[@mattcollins9499]

Hi Chadi, Great video. I love all your content. This is a tough topic to cover you did it great! I'm not Georgian, just a fan of their Judo. Maybe this was covered in a comment below. Many techniques commonly used by Georgians on the IJF circuit come from their national wrestling Chidaoba. If you watch some chidaoba matches the sleeveless jacket leads to armpit + over the back on the same side grips. The result is a makikomi vs ura nage battle, making both of those positions/technique very strong and comfortable for Georgian fighters. My humble opinion is Georgia leads the world in output of high quality judo players (many who represent other countries too) divided by population. Thanks and looking forward to your next video!

[@MrWhatevertoday]

I never realized there were different “styles” of judo!

[@DareToWonder]

The russians arent very mobile though, its stand grab and throw. Good counter is to keep moving, stops most of the big throws. Annoys them too!

[@ghola0]

There's also a big difference between the Russian Russians, and the Caucasian (Dagestan, Southern Russia) judo style, who also fight under the Russian flag, they're more fresstyle wrrestling influenced

[@giordanofriasmartinelli2407]

Hi, Chadi. First of all, congratulations on your work. As a Brazilian I disagree a little bit about your review on the brazilian style. Sure, we do have some contribution in the transition to neowaza, which was influenced by Flavio Canto. However, I don`t think that tis is our major trait. Originally, judo practiced in here had lot to do with the japanese style (São Paulo is the city with most Japanese living outside japan): good posture, sleeve and lapel grip, technical. Tiago Camilo and Leandro Guilheiro are examples of this school. As years go by, some people started to incorporate a style based on the eastern europe, such as João Derly and Mayra Aguiar. So, I would characterize brazilian judo as a mix between japanese and european

Not a Judoka here, just enjoy your videos. I wonder if Russian and Georgian preference on strength comes from their Soviet history.

[@intersportasia9521]

as a bjj practitioner, looking at the brazilian portion of your video, that's exactly how you'd fight in a bjj match. If you didnt say it was a judo competition and showed it to a bjj guy, he wouldnt be able to tell it is a judo fight. For example, I can see lots of guard pull into submission attacks. Or sometimes we blend takedown with submission. Though generally speaking, when taking part into judo matches or training, we are encouraged to use more "judo techniques" and just leave at the door (as much as possible), our BJJ techniques and ne-waza, so we can expand our tool box and experience. Travis Stevens did that too when he came to BJJ, he didnt capitalize on his judo to wreck people, he tried to "do jiu-jitsu" as much as he could.

[@counterkidnapping1737]

Brazilian looked like bjj

[@pedrocabral177]

yes. Flavio Canto actually practiced BJJ in the 1990s to improve his ne-waza. He did not compete in BJJ because it was forbiden by Judo's federation and he wanted to be friendly to different BJJ schools so he didnt want to pick sides. unfortunately he seems to be an exception, most brazilian judokas wont try to make use of this advantage of being close to an advanced ground fighting ne-waza as BJJ. (source: Canto's interview with Fabio Gurgel from May/2020)

[@cagedraptor]

sure , BJJ is Judo. The Gracie family learned Judo and adapted it to form BJJ. BJJ's base style is Judo. It has, at this point, really evolved into a style of its own but it started as Judo.

[@pedrocabral177]

@@cagedraptor I believe they have the same root that is Kano's jiu-jitsu (early name) / judo (later name). But they diverged mainly due to rules. BJJ has no ippon Just points and submission. Judo does "mate" stop If the fight stalls on the ground.

[@meesert]

​@@pedrocabral177 True there is no ipon and there just are a lot of less rules in bjj in general. You can grab legs, go for leglocks and pull guard, just to name a few.

I know this is late as hell, but anyway. I'm new to judo, really enjoying watching the abe's so far. What is it that makes them different from japan generally?

Great video! Flávio Canto is a great Guy, apart from being a great judoka, he has a charity institution to help poor children in Rio.

Incredible I truly love the awesome highly intelligent graceful ways of Japanese martial Arts. I study both Aikido and Japanese jujitsu. And boxing as well I'm not a real fan of bjj or cage fighting and I have my reasons. I not only am always impressed when I see outstanding feats before my eyes but the spectacular Grace and opened minded spirits that I see from all these. Outstanding martial art styles that where truly made with grace and true art that eminates from the fighters but the true works of art that is the incredible Arts of Japanese tranquility in every tournament I've witnessed thanks to your generosity of sharing these Outstanding matches and specific Arts that demand respect and awe that these artists are showing something beautiful and we'll disciplined and respect that the martial artists that have just a completely good outlook on themselves each other and the breathtaking martial Arts that where given a lot of intelligence century's of perfect cultivation and patience it took to create these masterpieces that are one of the many beautiful tranquil pieces of art created by the awesome artisans that is Japan and the proud honorable self control obedience to there dojos family country there own healthy outlook on life and self respect in a kind and peaceful outlooks on life it warms my soul to know there is a beautiful place with good honest respectful poetic people that create masterpieces. I know I went on a bit much but I speak from the heart . in America there's none of that nothing but dishonest barbaric people I'll be perfectly honest I can't stand the careless acts of disregard and disrespect of the general population in the states I'll watch respectful tournaments that you've politely put on KZbin which I humbly thank you for. But I will not watch the barbaric brawling spectical that my country upholds. Is cage fighting there supposed to be professional fighters but all I see is criminalistic street brawlers they claim to be mixed martial artists but they can't honestly say they have gone to a respectful dojo or respectful place of training no instead they mixmatch there training which pretty much is glorified street fighting they can't respectfully say or have the honor of mastering. At least one respectful honorable martial art. And I do not recognize bjj as a formidable martial art I don't know why society willingly upholds them in such high esteem there is no jujitsu in that place or any form of judo jmoderate to advanced. Joint locks no throwing or knowledge of pressure points the only fracture move they have is that ridiculous arm bar that you have to be on the ground to attempt it but Brazil really needs to think hard about saying they have there own form of jujitsu I'm a green belt in an actual traditional respectful Japanese jujitsu dojo it's pretty formidable excellent sensei s that don't allow the likes of them in fact I grappled and threw these so called cage fighters that where not formidable in there matches to say the least but they bragged from this world and the next that they knew jujutsu so I called them on it and said I've been in jujitsu for a couple years now I'm not a black belt yet but I know what I'm doing on the matt plus I'm 3 belts up on Aikido long story short they knew was American high school wrestling I recked them from joint locks throwing them around the matt like rag dolls turned them both into knotted up pretzels got one of them in air tight choke hold when I gave them some pretty solid throws they asked me why I was throwing them around and how was I being able to do that I laughed at them and said I'm doing jujitsu what do you think I'm doing you guys thought you where going to hurt me easily you don't know the first thing about jujutsu in fact it's pretty obvious that you don't know that much about wrestling either. But long story short I don't have much respect for cage fighters or Brazilian jujutsu. Instructors or there students either there flat out taking credit for knowing jujitsu and judo training as well there light free style wrestlers at best and there Gracie training facility's are redicoulsley expensive and there not only being dishonest by telling the. Students that there teaching them jujutsu when there not even teaching them a fraction of basic grappling . I try to warn people to not fall for it I try telling them go to my 2 dojos it's a night and day difference they'll actually learn jujitsu or. Aikido or boxing I do all 3 and I'm learning A lot from excellent instructors and a badass boxing trainer who loves the fact that I'm a formidable southpaw it's perfect he knows how to train southpaws he told me if your as hungry for it as much as I've shown and progressed in my abilities he 'll start setting up matches for me it makes me feel awesome that he sees heart and ability in me I feel pretty stoked about it he already has me sparring with guys that have been competing and winning sometimes I beat them or break even or give them a real run for there money let's put it this way each time they get in the ring with me they know they've been in a fight

He was already 5-0 against Isaev in competition going into that match but he lost because he had that severe arm injury that affected his gripping.

Spain Based on press articles from the time, a certain "count koma" toured Spain at the beginning of the twentieth century. The south of Spain, specially Cadiz and the northwest, the region of Galicia, had a Judo with an specially strong ne-waza. This was attributed to said Count Koma who supposedly introduced it. In most recent decades the influence of the Spanish Judo Federation centralised in the country's capital, Madrid, has turned into a Judo mostly oriented to the olympic competition. But there are some private clubs that first keep that ne waza tradition and afterwards, focus in other aspects. It would make sense considering who that Count Koma quite probably is. Just an anecdote of how one person can influence Judo all over the world.

O melhor mesmo é o Judo, que mesmo sendo uma arte sistematizada e igual em todo o mundo (em teoria) conseguiu desenvolver uma identidade em cada país. Sou brasileiro, falo inglês mas optei por escrever em português para meus compatriotas poderem entender. T hanks for the video, your explanation was very good, and I hope to see more videos like yours teaching the minutiae of judo.

I think it has a lot to do with footwork. The initial stages of traditional Judo spends a long time on wheeling, whether it be footwork or throws. It is the element of minimal effort. that traditional thought is engrained in their brains. I see the freestlye Judoka's in the US and they try to short circuit the flow to get speed, but they give up their balance. The other aspect is that you need to go to Japan really because some of the body of knowledge is really being driven out by the Kodokan and its not making outside of Japan. I have Japanese magazines just devoted solely for example to the Seonage, with explainations from local champions about how and why they do what they do. We just don't have that level of open discussion about technique in the West or outside Japan really.

[@alLEDP]

Maybe you could have spoken about why there are "styles" of kudos in different countries... In my opinion every player is different but it makes sense to group them into "styles" or such. One reason I could think of why "styles" exist in every country is because of the Olympic program of a country. If a head coach is good in sth the athletes NORMALY ens up being good in that thing too. For example I believe Korea had big success in the 90s if I remember correctly with guys who ve done dropping things very good. That's why nowadays dropping techniques are well developed in the Korean national team imo. Japanese are good in anything and you correctly stated mingolians and central Asian countries like Kazakhstan or Georigians have a long wrestling tradition.

[@midorihano8357]

Kano Jigoro understood the physics of motion so the technique or waza he created are based on that logics. Japanese are faithfully done in respect to that teaching . The beauty of the many Japanese judoka's come from the beauty of physics in motion !

That match between Stevens and Canto where Stevens just laughs while they wrestle on the mat and actually gives him a legit challenge unlike the other clips. I understand they were regular adversaries. Maybe that's also why Stevens was so unorthodoxically focused on newaza while to me it seems like many others wouldn't even touch the mat. My perspective to US judo (through Stevens and perhaps Pedro) is that they're extremely analytical. Their goal is to have a throw from any grip and also have their favourite throw from any grip. They demand a good newaza chain from all. They also really focus on grip fighting but it's not the same as how you described the french. It's more like they analyse what the opponent is allowed to do, they don't necessarily require their favourite grip. They just know their opponent's style and won't allow them to ever have that grip forcing them into their plan b. Also analysing which grips are "safe" and which can lead to something and allow only safe grips or grips that lead to something. And the strategy game, like many times they talk about for example "the only plan against this guy was to take the match to the last minute at any cost, shidos are ok if they prevent ippon from happening. If I could take it to the last minute, I would win, they would get nervous and start trying stupid things" or another one I heard was "not letting them have their favourite grip would make them try stupid stuff and deliver the match" or "if I didn't do one thing I would have the match, they wouldn't be able to do anything and eventually I'd get my ippon". And one more was making them tired and forcing them into some reflex behavior that they hadn't practiced out, like an example was tiring out some guy who would start doing something like sacrificial throws which would coincidentally be just the opening for what Stevens wanted to do. Supposedly the opponent's coach slapped them after they did that and lost saying "that was the only thing you weren't allowed to do and you knew it". Extremely analytical and specifically on the psychological side, building the strategy on the opponent's invidiual traits. On the other hand Stevens' physique seemed extra-ordinary too, their baseline was that he would never tire out in the match, at least not before the opponent. So he wouldn't have to play that quick and powerful win before the clock judo. He also said how at some point he analyzed his past season's matches and all the guys he had lost to in the tour were against him in the olympic games, but also that he lost none of the matches by ippon. So he got quite a confidence boost realizing he could "do anything and not get thrown". Their social media free educational material has proved invaluable, particularly in peeking inside a top judoka's head.

[@jeffreytuura4337]

I would argue style varies on the fighter not the country. The reason Judo varies so much between countries is because the art of Judo was spread very quickly by a lot of mediocre disciples who spread it across the globe, rather than groom a few very skilled instructors and grow the art of Judo slowly, with consistency and consideration. The art of Judo has since suffered, Kano said something similar to this before he died although I don't know his exact words. I think these styles as you point out are a misunderstanding of how the art of Judo is supposed to function which is quickly, efficiently and with ease. When people are tense and they try to only to use strength when they throw, this is a poor understanding of Judo. Judo uses the opponent's momentum against them, called Kazushi in Japanese. If you want to throw someone with ease you have to have proper positioning in accordance with the throw and uke. tori must blend with uke's motion: while they are stepping otherwise you're not using their kazushi and you'll have to lift them with just your effort alone (this increases difficulty of the throw making it harder for a smaller person to throw a bigger person. It also increases the risk of injury.)

I have no idea how the US never became a “Superpower” in Judo....wrestling is through the roof here in the states and, well, Judo would have made a great compliment/Transition. I learned Judo the Japanese way, which many could consider safe. Like you said the grip is always on the sleeve and lapel. I remember I learned a few tricks from some Russian judoka one being the Tai Otoshi, as soon as you land the drop your basically in a scarf hold. I was dropping everyone like flies lol Dropping right in their sternum. The Russian way definitely fit my style and frame. I’m 5’10, 210lbs and Burly. But, sensai really disapproved of that style. Said it would lead to injuries to other judoka. Which made sense. But, boy, that Russian style really sets it apart.

[@eltoq8407]

kombijr in America people just don’t train as seriously and as hard as in Russia for the most part. For instance, I was mediocre brown belt in russia when I stopped training at age of 18, then 8 years later in USA I won state championships throwing black belts for ippon. All that after training for a month and gaining 15 kilograms. There’s huge potential for Judo in USA, hence strong wrestling and bjj, but there’s just not enough hard training people to create that internal competition which is needed to produce serious and consistent results.

[@kombijr]

El Toq wow, what was your training regiment? What did it consist of? I just implemented weights to mine. Your right about putting in the work. But, in the US, it’s just not popular, like say football or baseball even basketball. Hence, why judo doesn’t have the funds for promotion.
