[@rkgomes3875]

What I found most impressive, even beyond the superbly executed throws was the fact that NONE of them cheered themselves and made a commotion. One or two even helped their opponent up. THAT is judo.

[@Grav1ty2735]

No that's just humility

[@Mr.Smiley_J]

Reminds me of one of the first in-house bjj tourneys I was in. Me and my opponent went into overtime, next point would win, he charged for a savage double-leg takedown, lifted, slammed me down, leapt to his feet and cheered to the heavens. He got points off for the slam and unsportsmanlike conduct. Humble, I got up, dusted myself off, shook his hand and won in more ways than one.

[@EricFBG]

@@Grav1ty2735 No, that is the spirit of Judo, which includes being humble.

[@EricFBG]

@@Mr.Smiley_J But the sad thing is that BJJ does not teach you to be a better person as does Judo and other arts. I've been practicing for nearly 4 years, got a purple belt and the amount of bad conduct during fights I have been the target of or witnessed is astonishing. This behavior goes all the way to brown and black belts. If you already have the correct mindset about being a decent person while a fighter, I fear practicing BJJ in the long run will demotivate you somehow. Have you considered moving to Judo?

[@deadby15]

japan is a small, overpopulated island nation. If everyone is overly expressive, it would create an unwanted emotional chaos. So everyone is expected to refrain from bragging, showing off, being arrogant, etc. It's their culture.

[@pledgestone]

Poetry in motion. Judo saved my life twice. I wiped out on my motorcycle twice, and I have no doubt that if I didn't know how to fall from a decade of judo practice, I wouldn't have survived either crash. My black belt in judo is one of my most cherished accomplishments. It's too bad more people don't participate in judo.

[@user-dn6ht6bo7r]

Captain Bob Smiley so you can also use falling techniques on concrete? Just wondering still sounds dangerous

[@pledgestone]

μαριος Καπετανοπουλος, believe it or not, when i was flying through the air, I was able to remain calm, I naturally landed on my back with the most surface area possible, and I was able to keep my head off the street. Most untrained people put their arms out to catch themselves, and break their hands, wrists, and/or arms. My core and neck strength kept my head from bouncing off the street. I was still injured, but I know 100% that the way I landed, both times (due to the thousands and thousands of break falls I had practiced through the years) mitigated the damage considerably. The helmet and heavy coat also helped.

[@user-dn6ht6bo7r]

thanks for the response, honestly i have heard many times people saying that judo saved them from a similar situation but always sounded weird.Your description of the accident kind of helped me understand the role judo played ,though you were wearing a helmet ,which is to be expected, but I have always wondered how someone could protect his head when falling because these forms of forward rolling I have seen don't seem to work on concrete

[@pledgestone]

μαριος Καπετανοπουλος, what you say is correct. I wouldn't want to go out and do some throws or rolls on concrete voluntarily. But in a high stress situation, with the adrenaline flowing, and you are facing serious injury or death... it's similar, in my opinion, to people who get shot (or whatever) and don't realize it till later. Your senses are so focused. It is nice to know that the training (time invested) came through for me when I needed it, and it has certainly made my love of judo stronger (my love of riding motorcycles, not so much).

[@vittocrazi]

i have used my falls, also. and yes... it mitigates a lot of damage even in concrete. it still hurts and you get a bit beaten up, but is way better than just flailing. i fell from my bike face first with my legs locked, so couldnt roll. got my elbows a bit bruised, but kept all my teeth, you know... and the other time i was sprinting and a dog crossed trough my feet, so i rolled and didnt get anything, really. a partner of mine told me he fell down from a staircase, but also broke the fall with his judo, and saved his drunk self that way.

[@OldJarhead2]

Likewise, judo literally 'saved my neck' numerous times when falling while hands were full or incapacitated. Latest happened when I was 75 years age. Training pays off.

[@user-iw9ul2wn7r]

how old are (if you don't mind)

[@im4485]

The first guy couldn't believe it - the throw has been executed perfectly

[@nelsonrushton]

yeah that was awesome. I looked up "ippon" in the dictionary, and it linked to that throw.

[@ahal_gokdepe]

lol. if that impresses you - you need to look up Toshihiko Koga

[@Aikitrad]

I was a student of Kenshiro Abe in the late 1950s / 60s - It is a long time since I have seen such excellent technique, I really enjoyed and appreciated this video.

[@idleonlooker1078]

Judo has been in my family for years, both my sister and brother were State Champions. But he was cutting a tree branch at work when a transformer was hit by lightning. The current went down the power lines and into the tree. My brother was blown 30ft out of that tree, and like a cat, he twisted and forward rolled out of it - shaken, safe and with only a few minor cuts, he thanked his instinctive judo training. 👍

[@rashoietolan3047]

Idle Onlooker love to hear epic things like this Big s/o to bro

[@leonardopab5]

He got electrocutated though, right?

[@idleonlooker1078]

@@leonardopab5 If you carefully read and comprehended what I wrote in my post, you'd know the answer. So read it again.

[@leonardopab5]

"The current went down the power lines and into the tree. My brother was blown 30ft out of that tree." No one can roll out of something that travels at light speed, so I guess that he was either blown away because of the lightning hitting him (though he survived) or the lightning wasn't going to hit him to begin with and some magical force pushed him away of that tree. Your story is inconsistent. It's a good story though.

[@idleonlooker1078]

@@leonardopab5 You believe what you want pal, but the story is 100% correct, as my brother is still alive. Simple as that.

[@stuffnuns]

So much respect to the Judoka. Kano gave us a truly modern martial art, and a great sport, too. When one sees a judoka in mma, you can expect a vocabulary of takedowns beyond the morote gari. Once, Judo got the snub, but now you’re seeing a lot more judo takedowns and ne waza in elite mma. Because it works.

[@gfweis]

Just beautiful. Some of these throws are works of art. The slightest vulnerability is immediately exploited, usually with grace. Then there is Ono, who seems to have come back even physically stronger after his break, if that is possible. Maybe it's because he often trains above his weight class. In any event, he is simply over-powering.

Love the style of judo. Even though I train in bjj which is also great, The different styles of the ground foundation is truly amazing.

[@jpbm1873]

Bjj is keeping a part of judo that the IJF is hellbent on destroying so as a judoka I have to thank bjj and every bjj practicioner out there.

[@AndreAndFriends]

BJJ is awesome.

[@36424567254]

@Jp Bm it is a refreshing sight, a judoka with such an opinion. As a bjj practitioner with a lot of respect for judo, everytime i hear judo players lament that this "bjj craze" is just marketing and stolen techniques from judo, I can't help but shake my head and think: "is it really stealing when you (well, your governing body) throw it away?". Everytime someone in BJJ comes up with a new(ish) technique there's someone somewhere whining somebody in judo did it first. Which may or may no be true, and is largely irrelevant. The way I see it, if you're not using it (possibly because rules), and you're not teaching it (because most judo clubs only care about olympic rules), well then too bad, people will rightfully go learn it from somebody who does use it and does teach it. Techniques can't be owned anyway.

[@Robobotic]

BJJ is an american rip off and also highly impractical. Im sorry but if you pull guard on someone on the street he will break your spine and stomp your head.

[@chrisg1772]

@@Robobotic American, you do know what the 'B' stands for in BJJ right? Also stating it highly impractical is absurd. Sure there are techniques you wouldn't use in a street setting like pulling guard but there are plenty of other techniques you can use.
