The secret sauce of American judo training | Jimmy Pedro and Lex Fridman

[@ethanht9668]

I think Judo is kind of underground nowadays at least in Mexico where I live, definitely underrated af

[@danielyoung9403]

In England judo is quite different to the other european style, as we are quite transition heavy. I competed in strasbourg for an u18 European cup and the French lads are just built different especially in heavyweight

[@darylfields]

I like the judo where they still practice newaza and atemi waza

[@scottbedding6643]

I think the American style is there gripping styles and the Americans are so well conditioned. American team have alot less qualtity randori. We in UK are closer to various European camps.

Secret sauce in American Judo ? Secret is personal commitment and finance, no structural support like in France, Germany. What's the status of the youth programme ?

[@amanrob]

Truth is that whatever you want to call "American style" it is incredibly inferior to everything else out there. This isn't just hating, international results back that up.

[@jimiboi87]

No one said it was better than any other style. If you paid attention to the video, you would ascertain that that system has been developed to try to best overcome the shortcomings Americans have, namely lack of depth and talent. You have to work with what you’ve got.

[@jimiboi87]

@@amanrob What kinds of changes do you propose? I think everybody is willing to listen to a good idea.
