Judo Throws for No Gi Grappling

Mark Gilston (4th degree judo black belt) shows various judo throwing techniques and combinations for use in no gi grappling. www.coopermma.com/

[@joeytoto4816]

SO many of the same hand control, throws, trips and legs sweeps I learned in wrestling. I just love wrestling and Judo!

[@planktime]

Yep. Exactly they all work together also they are all really fun.

[@PotatoeJoe69]

Modern wrestling incorporated techniques from Judo. Nobody talks about it and I doubt people even realize it but freestyle wrestling is a Hodge podge of different grappling martial arts. Freestyle wrestling is its own MMA.

[@armorwolf7934]

Ya cause even tho judo is so useful it doesn’t really teach stuff like sprawling so it’s good to know both

[@alfonsonajera2439]

Isn't that telling..

[@claytonfrancisco7607]

instablaster.

[@cwpreston]

The issue I’ve had with Judo techniques in a no gi setting is that judoka are focused on gripping with the hands, but without a gi the grips available just don’t provide the same leverage to offbalance or control. The head tie is the closest one can get but it’s easily countered or broken, especially if your opponent has any sort of wrestling or BJJ background. A strong wrestling defensive posture (low crouch) also blocks a lot of judo’s lifting/rolling throws. Switching to a body grip (undertook, arm entangle, or a body grasp similar to what Rousey uses in MMA) provides a much better grip, and modifying the throws to emphasis a takedown instead of scoring makes a huge difference.

[@SeiryokuZenyo]

I agree for the most part. The subject is very large and the collar elbow grip is often the easiest to begin with. I tried to touch on some other grips options, but to explore them further will require other videos.

[@shadoraeveon9312]

I love how you broke everything down even to making sure you pass guard on the way down, slowly adding in steps of resistance. I was going to comment some pressure testing would be helpful just for foolproofing's sake but I was taken back by how simply you brought everything together, if you didn't need to use this you wouldn't even know you were breaking it down. I wish every gym had a teacher like you!

[@wildwildwest1286]

Love this video.The instructor demonstrates the techniques perfectly,and mostly I love the fact it's a no-gi style.This is so much more practical.I have nothing against tradicional Judo,but I live in a warm climate where everyone wears short-sleeves all year.Now if you mix in BJJ once your on the ground,it's an awesome self-defense

[@karateboxerthegrapplercoroneld]

Yeah, most judo dojos don't even train much with no gi.

[@Shadowrulzalways]

You don’t need BJJ. Judo has everything BJJ has. Where do you think BJJ comes from? It’s just Judo with a different name. The only difference between the two arts is their goals.

[@justinbailey2419]

Im amazed at the depth of judo. Until recently I just thought it was mainly throws but these great youtube videos really impress me by how filled out the ground work is. 👍🏻👍🏻 Ive been looking into local gyms! Thanks for sharing!

[@CHAP_SEC]

It really depends on the Dojo. Most dojos actually don't do a lot of ni-waza, which is sad. Even most of the Japanese Dojos don't do a lot. But if you can find a dojo that does a good mix of both, you'll grow a lot very quickly. I am fortunate to have coaches who do both well.

[@jamessnell4756]

@@CHAP_SEC the groundwork isnt that filled out, the arm lock he did on the ground was really not secure. saying this though the standing game is great and useful, try to combine it with bjj if you can for solid ground game

I loved that. Do you have Osoto Gari or Kosoto Gari without a gi?

[@SeiryokuZenyo]

They both work well in no gi. O Soto Gari requires strong head control and close contact. Ko Soto Gari is best done with deflection or in combination with Uchi Mata, and works better with an underhook grip.

What throws and sweep to use if your quite Shorter then opponent [No Gi]

If you're significantly shorter than your opponent, you have a big advantage with hip throws such as o goshi. Also double leg take down (morote gari), valley drop (tani otoshi) and suplex (ura nage).

nice bro wayt o go thumbs iup

[@alessandromienandi1473]

My biggest problem with bjj is people avoiding upright grappling and sitting down as soon as contact is made, killing the fun and efficiency of the game.

[@Opticillusion160]

Alessandro Mienandi reasoning behind that was for smaller fighters going against bigger opponents and knowing they can be easily ragdolled standing up. The ground game submissions are why BJJ is what it is. There is a place for it but its not a holistic martial art

[@pascal4089]

So I have past judo experience and am right now in my first year of wrestling and i want to try and incorporate this into wrestling. Do you think that because of the low stance i won't be able to use it or how should i adapt it to this other type of stance?

[@SeiryokuZenyo]

Great question! The low wrestling stance is fine for judo so long as you remember to always keep your head raised, and your back straight. As long as your center of gravity is over your hips, the bent knees and low level will make hip throw entries and throws like o uchi gari much easier and more powerful. The two mistakes which are easy for inexperienced wrestlers to make are leaning forward and looking down at the feet rather than at your opponent's chest.

[@pascal4089]

Ok thank you for answering i will make sure to keep it in mind

[@opufy]

My friend only knows o goshi and I wanna scare him by countering it what’s the right technique for that?

[@SeiryokuZenyo]

I did a video on hip throw counters here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZu3loiYjK-fnNU but it sounds like your friend is a beginner, so I would avoid the two sacrifice counters.

[@Fatelvis2]

10:14 I was able to take people down with this but when we hit the ground they started taking my back any tips ?

[@SeiryokuZenyo]

If they are taking your back, you probably aren't controlling their arm properly. The arm needs to be extended and when you land, it must be locked under your armpit. Also it is VERY important that you are rolling forward on the take down, and not rolling sideways.

[@SeiryokuZenyo]

I've discussed the potential problem in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4OQmH2prLarrdE

[@trsmith108]

Great techniques. I appreciate the no-go approach, however in a street fight it seems you may not get your opponent to have a reciprocal hand-to-your neck position. Then his arm would not have the same availability which is a prerequisite to initiate the throw. I am new to this, but that is my initial observation so how would u do these without that his arm on your neck to start?

[@SeiryokuZenyo]

Street fighting is a whole different world from sport grappling, so the techniques involved require a very different approach. I do teach self defense techniques, but I am very reluctant to do videos about them. The one arm shoulder throw is a classic response to a striking attack, but I would recommend you look at a video of Goshin Justu no Kata to get a better understanding of how judo approaches a street fight.

[@kelleytr]

How do you avoid getting your back taken in all these?

[@SeiryokuZenyo]

If you are controling your opponent and keeping him or her off balance, there is very little danger of having your back taken.

[@jodystewart9028]

Head and arm control, in particular. I've controlled and been controlled with Kesa Gatame, and good head and arm control prevents the back take.

[@gilleslppetit]

Basic but cool

[@Djent7779]

@@SeiryokuZenyo alright, arm control noted, but i suggest you go north south or flat from side mount since in BJJ that would be easily countered by technique and arm placement on shoulders plus the balance on yourself may be used by the opponent as leverage for the back take because the legs are free to hook too.

[@100PercentATP]

This looks cool - but as a boxer if i'm inside you I'm going to hit you 4 times in one second before you can sweep my legs or grab my neck. I like Judo but i'd like to see judo without any gi on in competition. I don't see how this will work without grabbing someone's gi and using leverage that way.

[@SeiryokuZenyo]

These techniques are illustrated for grappling sports and there is no striking involved. The techniques used in MMA and self defense require adjustments to deal with striking, but that is not what I'm trying to illustrate here. Against a boxer, you must block the strikes and close the distance, but once that is done, controlling the head or using an underhook for leverage works quite well. Judo is a sport and a gi is part of the equipment, so you will never see competition judo without a gi unless it is called something else. If you want to see judo without a gi in competition, I suggest looking at videos of Ronda Rousey or Travis Stevens or someone similar who has transitioned from judo to MMA.
