No Gi grip for judo throws. What can you possibly grab besides lapels, sleeves, the belt, and other loose fabric? Did you know there’s a whole person underneath that judo or BJJ uniform with natural built-in handles you can use to throw them through the air onto the ground?
And why would you want to learn nogi grips for judo throws in the first place? Because you can use all of these highly effective judo techniques in MMA, sanda, and submission grappling, that’s why!

Do you have a recommendation for Judo school in Portland Metro Area? I am a little worried my shoulder could break again, but sounds perfect to fill in Martial Arts gaps.

@@GuitarsRockForever it usually depends who you ask, I'd agree with you but objectively speaking they're on a similar level of complexity. And most people I know who are at intermediate-advanced level of both actually consider mandarin to be harder. And all of them only know simplified chinese script >

[@carrie7225]

@@Sk0lzky id say the hardest part of japanese for learners is learning the pitch accent, since Japanese words can be different depending on which part of the word is high pitch and which is low pitch. And there's also having to learn keigo which is no fucking different than learning a language different than Japanese while still being part of Japanese at the same time. (This is just my opinion from my own experience learning the basics of the Japanese language.)

[@chrismayclin6397]

After the intro, your partner looked very tired from being thrown 5,000 times straight. Perhaps you should have given him a few minutes before bending his spine in unnatural angles again so soon. Bless his soul for being such a soldier!

I love every part of this video

[@jordanleonard6540]

Abso-lutely

[@BeardslapRadio]

I’d love to see something on closing the distance and getting the grips in the first place. I competed at the AJP event in Shanghai yesterday and my match was a bit crappy, mostly because we both seemed to be essentially playing pat-a-cake for 90% of the time. I was walking him down and trying to get collar ties, two on ones and arm drags but he kept pulling out of it. I won in the end when he pulled guard and I passed, but it’s not really very exciting stuff.

[@RamseyDewey]

Great idea for a video.

[@RamseyDewey]

In the context of a BJJ tournament, one of the easiest ways to get a grip on a squirrelly guy who wants to pull guard is to shoot for his legs, and then when he’s trying to defend against your shot (which is a fake, by the way) you’ll slide your arm up his leg, stand up, slide the arm up the torso and then under the arm into an underhook and then work for a throw from there. Takedowns under IBJJF rules can be really frustrating- they’re music easier to set up in MMA.

[@BeardslapRadio]

@@RamseyDewey that sound interesting - I’ll give it a go at the gym, thanks.

[@TaijDevon]

If we are doing wish list, hand like Chow Gar, feet like Wushu, moving like Ba Gua, and tackling like Judo. I completely disregard Jujitsu because they are all show and if some punk thinks he or she can arm bar me get ready to get your face broken. Itsuki Hiratta is nearly ideal. Boxes into a judo throw.

[@TaijDevon]

Ok, I might get a little enthusiastic since Itsuki looks better than most supermodels. But I study her fight style.

[@Xlayerful]

When the coach teaches judo on the internet to me, i feel like I am in Shanghai, China too.

[@gagworks]

This is the best stand up grappling video on the internet.

[@tBarkEditing]

i find it very hard to do most of these takedown in sanda because of the grip limitation of the boxing glove

[@RamseyDewey]

Grip with your wrists, not your fingers

[@TreyYork1]

Did you try what he advised? I relate to what you say!I actually trained Sanshou when boxing gloves were most common, but not ubiquitous. How did it work out for you? I remember the earlier days-- Sean Liu... Cung Le... but these videos... the clearly reasonable reflections of Mr. Dewey and how they relate to recent history... please share what you learned and why!

[@tangren3370]

As someone who practiced Judo for 13 years and quit just around 9 years ago (not for the following reasons btw) when rules were updated and some of my favorite techniques were more and more discouraged during training, I absolutely LOVED watching this video!

[@mrboy9658]

Sambo its quite same wrestling style compared to the old judo but without chokes (i don't know why)

[@lucasdesousaoliveirasilva4323]

a lot of people say that judo doesn't work without a gi. But people have to understand that gi is an aspect of judo tradition and competition. Practically all judo techniques can be adapted to no gi grips and be efficient, it all depends on training aimed at this

[@indigoflow19O]

Such an amazing crash course on no-gi throws. Overhooks, underhooks, collar ties, wrist control, arm drags, russian arm tie, grip variations, head pressure, footwork, tons of different throws, set ups's, don't do's, probable and realistic reactions/energies from your partner, video footage of live sparring, and of course some good ol' Ramsey Dewey humor...ITS GOT EVERYTHING! I love how so many of the arts have the same techniques but with just slightly different variations and names.

[@pyronicdesign]

At 13:00 minutes you are in a position I love to end up in with Judo Guys i have spared wtih. The never expect me to Suddenly elbow in on their under hook and grab their head pushing it out of that little crevasse in my neck so when they throw me they sort of just slip out of position because they don't have that tight connection to my body anymore. suddenly they are off balance, often falling on the ground or just giving up their back. I have no idea if it works against professionals, but it goes to show that head positioning is super important.

[@MrChanolo]

I love this video. I absolutely love it. Adapting Judo throws to no gi is always a big point. If you adapt them properly, they're devastating in my opinion

[@NestorNavai]

Hi, Ramsey, just a small detail: in the ippon-seoi-nage you want to pinch uke's arm (near his armpit) between your forearm and your bíceps, not lay it over your shoulder as, if your wrist grip breaks, standing or after throwing, you are more vulnerable to getting choked as there's nothing separating his arm and your neck. That and if you close your fist of your "pinching arm" it adds to your control over him. Thank you so much!

Im a judo player and I have a lot of success in no gi with sacrifice throws/elevators with butterfly hooks, over the top body locks, front headlocks, undehooks and whizzers. Ankle picks also complement the judo game quite well. For osoto I have also had a bit of success just pushing my hand into their throat just enough for the sort of balance breaking effect you get with the gi but it’s not the highest percentage

[@budodiscovery3413]

Nice throws

[@sherlock3134]

Loved this video, saw some of my favorite throws in it. A couple throws I would like to mention that could also be used without a gi are Kouchi Gari, Ouchi Gari, Kouchi Makikomi, Tani Otoshi, and (possibly) Osoto Makikomi. Kouchi Makikomi and Tani Otoshi imparticularly are two of my favorites. Something I should mention though is with Kouchi Makikomi, you run the risk of ending up in your opponents closed guard and with Tani Otoshi you run the risk of hyper-extending your own knee.

[@jestfullgremblim8002]

Ah yes, i always hit Ko Uchi Makikomi no matter what, wasn't a good idea doing it against a BJJ purple belt tho.

[@millennialwatchman6703]

Judo really needs to be like BJJ in the sense that there needs to be both gi and no gi sessions. The throws can definitely work in a no gi scenario however they need to be modified in order for them to work. It would be a lot better to work out the modifications when training in the dojo than in the heat of battle when you're in a street fight.

[@llllb2]

Ramsey I love the content glad this channel has been growing so quickly! just wanted to say when you demo Seoi Nage, it pretty bad to throw with the opponents arm ON your shoulder. instead aim to trap it and pinch or squeeze with your bicep, if you're off slightly when you enter with how you showed it it could lead to a RNC or a back take/counter throw (IMO big reason why alot of BJJ guys think Seoi Nage is a bad throw for their sport). However its the smaller details with as you always say REPETITION that make this throw EXTREMELY effective if your opponent pushes forward at all.

[@Bubble23428]

7:16 I use a very similar variation of this instead of putting the underhook on my opponent‘s back I put it on my opponent‘s shoulder to throw him off balanced to set up for another throw which is hard to do with the underhook and reverse collar tie clinch did it automatically during sparring

[@copa593]

great video, but it's a bit all over the place (made in a pattern of check this out, check that out). I wish it was a bit more structured, like move "1": variation A, variation B etc. it would be much easier to return to and watch exactly what you want to try in training, fix your mistakes and all that good stuff.

[@supershooter20]

I have a shodan in Judo and Nidan in Kukkiwon Taekwondo. I also trained in Korean Hapkido. Try these. If you kick, I can catch your leg and using your leg like in ippon Seonage, fashion and go under you to launch you through the air. Also I can hold your leg and launch harai goshi or uchi mata sweeping your other leg and landing on you. On a concrete floor, that the end of the fight. My master instructor was a South Korean paratrooper captain and 7th Dan both in Taekwondo and Hapkido. One precaution, a Hapkido expert will go along with your throw him eg. Ogoshi, break his fall and kick upwards at you in the face from the ground

[@bolieve603]

I'm getting caught up on the fall basho for sumo and in one match a rikishi threw the other with an uchi mata from the whizzer... it's my favorite throw and if that doesn't prove its power I dont know what does! My second favorite is soto makikomi from the opposite side overhook (right arm over opponents right or left over left) and wrist grip the way the Mongolians like to do it

[@raigokutsar5886]

I would avoid neck/behind head grip throws in mma, 80% of the time if someone does it to me i can take the back. Over or under hook is the way to do it, also one hand body lock will do the work.

[@user-qe8mw4ub3u]

I have been taking notes for once! Some important ephemeral detail Dewey-san states: - When throwing keep stance narrow and between opponent's legs - Keep grip very tight - Small quick steps - Ballistic movement
