Judoka destroys BJJ ultra heavyweights and wins open weight division tourney (Michal Vebr)

[@fabioantinori7618]

So beautiful to watch somebody skillfully combine judo and jiujitzu

[@RougeRangerX]

Yea, these are all novice (under green belt) take downs. I agree about pull guard though, most of us Judokas don’t want to roll. We prefer our take downs. Notice how he gets back up after the throws. He doesn’t want to play the mount game.

[@tribalman9668]

He is probably good at passing guard too.. he is not just judoka but a bjj guy too..

[@mikelachina4730]

Pulling guard isn't a great strategy at heavyweight. Now you have a big guy pressuring you for free.

[@tyvonable]

​@tribalman9668 he is definitely a judo guy. U know that a lot of the moves in bjj is used in judo. I used to practice bjj but switched to judo.

[@Xtazation]

Judo is based on idea that works take him off balance throw submission and control while the first brazilians jiu jitsu guys just took the ne waza of judo and said lets just roll on the ground and forget about the control and throws and there you have it stupid sport of people who pull guard on purpose because someone started doing it long time ago no base to jiu jitsu no clear plan of what to do only variety of submission thats looks cool

Curious the grade and experience of the judoka?

[@SilentRio]

Basic level Judo player and currently able to get a few of the guys at my gym with the skills I learn. Just sticking to basic and cancelling out guard pullers. It is nice. Only a three stripe white but having fun on this journey. I think you should learn Judo but don't enter the BJJ rolls as a Judoka. Keep the BJJ mind with the Judoka adapted skills. It is also very freeing and liberating taking Judo to BJJ as much of what you can't do as per Judo rule sets you can in stand up BJJ!!

[@Kanvar010]

Thank u! Pretty good breakdown and analysis. Should do more 👍🏻

[@ItsStillMe22]

Really enjoyed this. Would love to see some more Gi take down analysis! Especially seeing what people do to shut down guard pullers!

[@TSM260]

Wish most Jiu Jitsu people watched this, they discredit Judo soo much its sickening.But if you really look at previous world champions, most either did Judo or incorporated Judo standup techniques. I still believe they are the same art,but thats a lifelong arguement i dont want lol

[@genarohernandezjr.6589]

I do jiu jitsu and I'm trying to incorporate judo throws. I don't have anyone to show me judo so I'm doing my best on my own. I recently started asking all my training partners to start standing when we roll. If you have any references for learning judo I would love to hear them.

[@MuzzKL]

@@genarohernandezjr.6589KZbin channels I recommend for learning judo: Shintaro Higashi, Fluid Judo Japan, Shintaro Nakano, Travis Stevens. Also, you should do a lot of uchi komi and pay attention to the way good judokas enter throws with their LEGS. The legs are very important to give explosion/power without using strength. You should also pay attention to the direction your opponent’s body is going. Don’t force him to go where you want to - go with the flow and enter throws based on their movement and inertia.

[@robwilliamsbjj8446]

@@TSM260 originally judo and jiu jitsu were interchangeable terms but as judo moved more into a sport and less a martial art the divide grew. As a Bjj white belt training with a judo national team is tap all of them easily - yes they’d throw me but they’d lose every fight. Thats the main difference that continues to this day. The rules of the various combat sports dictate their success against each other. Frequently you get judo black belts entering Bjj comps as white belts - the whole damn Mongolian national team entered the white belt worlds to sand bag. I do both - less judo these days due to spinal injuries but I teach more standing stuff than most Bjj gyms as I teach authentic Gracie Jiu Jitsu

[@TSM260]

​@@robwilliamsbjj8446 I totally agree. I do both aswell, less Judo these days because clubs are waayy to exoensive to show up and throw youths. I have heard more National teams are incorporating more ground emphasis, the US forsure France, Korea I believe aswell. Its definitely more complete when the athletes are good standing and on the ground.

[@robwilliamsbjj8446]

@ takes a lot of time though - hard to be good at everything - but good to see more Bjj gyms hiring judo coaches

[@Expoundupon]

Great breakdown, definitely going to play around with these setups.

[@jonlasarte9690]

He is controlling always the power hand. To do so, he grabs the front side collar and create a post in his shoulder. He always circles to the power hand side, either R or L, but not always L. In RvL he controls right collar and then gets the sleeve. In RvR he gets the cross collar and he attacks from there. Also, once he has the sleeve he can switch to regular collar sleeve if the opponent is squared. It is very frequent with people who don't have grip fighting ability to change stances once they are outgripped. About throwing a high grip in RvL, it doesn't matter, because with sided stance the grip is weak and will eventually mean the sleeve is controlled and uke gets dominated. If they are in the opposite stance, which is the most prevalent gripping sequence in judo, then it's a problem, but once you know their stance their trick is over.

[@jonlasarte9690]

The gripping sequence depends of the stance of uke And once you control the power hand it doesn't matter what he does with the free hand

[@MastersBJJBreakdown]

Watch the video again! Vebr always establishes lapel grip first regardless if it’s Ai or Kenka Yotsu meaning he doesn’t always shut down the power hand. In a RvR as a righty he would switch to sleeve hand first but he doesn’t (like Nagase). Go argue with Jimmy Pedro.

[@jonlasarte9690]

First, I apologize because from the video I wrongly concluded you didn't know how this works Now, I'm gonna edit the comment and try to make it constructive

[@MastersBJJBreakdown]

@@jonlasarte9690your edited comment makes good points about what Vebr SHOULD do. I agree with all of it. His gripping could be better in the way you describe. To me, it looks like he only uses the cross grip as an entry for seoi only or for grip breaking (I could be wrong) when it should be based on his opponents power hand/stance if we’re following Big Jim Pedro’s school of thought as you have mentioned.

[@glennhynes5263]

​@MastersBJJBreakdown Jimmy P likes to do things a certain way. There are many judoka that do not adhere to his approach. Travis Steven's says to "never" reach with your lead hand. That is a wrestling thing. Many judoka jab right out with the lead hand and get the collar. Instead of saying "never do this," or "always do that" those guys should more accurately say, "this is how I like to do it."

[@mattwhisnant5926]

Judo takedowns are no joke. I haven’t trained bjj or judo for many yrs, but I could easily beat Jodi guys on the ground. Getting to the ground, on the other hand, was a very scary affair.

@@mfp5585 Rules incentivize technical innovations. Judokas will know the latest grips, setups and way more throws under their own respective ruleset while BJJ practitioners will know every way of advancing positions and way more submission setups and variety. You're not gonna find a Marcelo Garcia or a Gordon Ryan equivalent in Judo. The fact that Judo is the parent art of BJJ is irrelevant when BJJ is the most overrepresented art for anything related to ground grappling and overall fighting since BJJ has been the forefront of advancing modern ground grappling for years

[@balazsposta3964]

I have seen lot’s of Pro wrestlers competing in white belt and they were happy to win. I think It’s a shame

[@glennhynes5263]

Getting the right hand grip is NOT unusual at all. It's very very common for a right hander. It the power hand for right side throws. Very weird of the narrator to think otherwise.

[@Hatsukoi839]

In judo, we like to control opponent’s dominant hand first, which is usually opponent’s sleeve. So as a right hander, I want to use my left hand to catch sleeve before I control the lapel with my right hand. This applies for most of the high level competitors as seen in world champion or the olympics, it’s our meta. What Michael do here is adjusting the game plan because his opponent do not have the same habit as judoka to catch his dominant hand, which makes it easier for Michael to be more aggressive without much grip fighting (needed in judo).

If he is purple belt, he is not simply a judoka, it means he already has a solid BJJ and he's competing with other purple belts.
