RANDORI JUDO: Learning by doing 乱取り

Throwing and being thrown, like in free fighting, is a key method of how we develop stand-up judo.😍 (tachiwaza) It needs a different attitude of open minded learning, called Zanshin (preparedness) to allow judoka to not only develop favourites, but also work their complimentary supportive techniques that sit around their favourite throw.
It stretches our abilities, and challenges technical, physical (especially fitness) and mental limits. Always adjusting, always learning and making mistakes is OK in randori.(free fighting-it is not a competition) The correct attitude to take into randori is to try and attack a lot, and learn by adjustment, from your mistakes. Even when attacking is difficult against quality opponents, still attack and develop your tenacity and fighting spirit.
As you can see judo is not an easy sport, the commitment is high. You literally lunge your body with precision timing, into an efficient throwing position. The RISK (failure or partial or complete success, compared to many alternative sports, are great) and the REWARDS (acquired hard earned timing skills) are even greater. Grit & character development through resilience are characteristics strongly associated with Judo.
In this video I follow one person on one day of judo training and clipped the best throws to show here in categorised order.
TRY JUDO, WE LEARN TO FALL IN OUR FIRST LESSONS. Getting thrown doesn't really hurt.
Just let go of your ego, and look up your local club. Judo IS FANTASTIC REWARDING CHALLENGING high fitness FUN, physical 3D chess.

Judo requires physical strength to be effective which is why I don’t recommend for beginners, all the judo practitioners that have been physically weaker than me are incapable of throwing me

@@agnikaineverdies7646 I think that physical strength is often a winning factor in Judo, but not always. For smaller people against bigger opponents, ashi waza can often work wonders. And a well applied strangle can send someone into unconsciousness.

[@oyblin4300]

nice safe throwing. very beautiful.

[@JudoLife]

Exactly, its a thing that many Japanese judoka expect a high standard of relaxed break falls, and a competitive fighting spirit that you risk loss, and because they are in a harsh training regimen to go through high school and University judo clubs then they consider randori to be that, not to be confused with contest ( shiai ) and relaxed judo is fundamental in learning.

[@martiallife4136]

Learning by doing. I remember the first time I did randori 6 years ago. So disappointed but you keep at it and you will learn and grow.

[@JudoLife]

It causes much analytic technical discovery and trial and error learning. Adaptability is the basis of judo. What better way than through "RANDORI" And then chose what works best and improve that with specific repetition drills like uchikomi and nagekomi

This is the best way to do it no doubt. I came from a Judo Club for a Big 10 University, which operated more like a competitive team as there was no official judo team for the university. 20-30 min randori, same time newaza rolling. Intense drilling, uchi-komi, and throwing. I went from there to a very good place but no where near the amount of randori or rolling or actual throwing nor intensity. Guys in practice would get techniques better than me and I was impressed. Come time for randori, I easily out grip them, rag doll them, sticky foot them (I can do this by easily seeing their foot work), counter them handily except for the black belts, etc... Oh yeah and the Japanese kids' Judo is magnificent.... your guy was coming around though heheh.

Do you have a video on how to do that sukui nage variation? I've never seen that variation anywhere else.

[@JudoLife]

The over grip on wrist and ducking head under is a big tell tale warning the opponent is about to launch kata guruma or sukuinage. Once you get caught once or twice you will be forever wary because its a big ride over. That particular guy didn't train much by watching for most of the session, then came on and pounded the brown belt kid. He was very strong, and fresh, a bit unfair really. Got to be careful to get it in perspective, to be fair to those putting in the work load, that this sort of thing is OK for the oldies in the group, if they take care of you in the landing, all you can do is roll with the falls for safety. If you resist their action you are likely to be injured. Only fight those guys fresh!!!

[@prime8plays870]

Any one know other names for the throw at 2:39, i think its more of a kosoto or ashiwaza technique against the far leg from the rear?

Tani Otoshi (in my opinion )

[@MeleDrummer]

This is beautiful Judo

[@Laggy2000]

1:55 that's not sukui nage I think, that is firemans cary or kata guruma. Sukui Nage is when you grab your oponents pants or knees and toss him backwards.

[@JudoLife]

Yes I agree, it could also be called kata guruma, the scooping action means I am OK to call it sukuinage. Perhaps investigate the variety of throws that sukuinage encompasses. There is actually a lot of resemblance to be able to use both names.

[@pe1er1]

This is the best randori-video I've ever seen. Question about randori-mentality: these guys aren't "letting themself be thrown" right? The point is that the application of the tori is very good rather than the uki being generous,right?

[@JudoLife]

More about attacking less about defending More about taking opportunities to improve Less about worrying if you get nailed with a good throw etc About 75% of contest but try saying that when you suddenly attack and need that 100% to get it

[@darrenvigneux2801]

That Sukui Nage the black belt did on around the 2 minute mark is like nothing I have ever seen. I think I could do this throw, and I would love to heard any tips the Tori could give.

[@JudoLife]

French judo man, it was pretty standard sukui-nage 30 years ago,

[@darrenvigneux2801]

The way I learned this throw is to scoop the uke from the front and spinning him back to your hip and then throwing him.I like to throw Kata Guruma and Sode Tsurikomi Goshi, so I think this throw could be possible for me.I just referenced my "Kodokan Judo Throwing Techniques" and it appears to be like a scooping Tani Otoshi, but page 50 has a more-like Kata Guruma / Sukui-nage, but it throws forward not backward.I too have been training for about 30 years, while I started at that time. I would gratefully appreciate any references you could give on this suplex-style Sukui-nage. Is there anyway to talk to the Tori or another skilled Sukui-nage user or yourself could give me a walk through?

[@rhidiandavies1991]

It's surprising how different this is compared to my club's randori. For example I can count on two hands how many times I've seen a successful seoi nage as everyone is really good at countering with utsuri goshi (takes a lot of strength but if you can do it it's really hard for the opponent to escape). It's got to the point that people will push forward to bait the seoi nage just to counter it. I don't even attempt it anymore, I just use it as a feint and then turn back with an o uchi gari.

[@JudoLife]

Yes I understand. Randori is very different once judoka actually develop positive attacking mind-sets, and don't sit back and counter everything the opponent attempts. There is always a risk/effort line that challenges your self belief. Directed randori is where Sensei plays a role and discourages or bans countering throws so judoka learn to risk forwards throws without fear of failure that dogs many judoka. Negative or countering judo pervades some clubs/countries judo to the point it becomes dominant. It is the opposite spirit to that which Sensei should endeavour to cultivate in club. It can even destroy and warp the confidence and credibility in development of everyone.

[@rhidiandavies1991]

@@JudoLife coming back to this a year later - I was wrong about the throw, it's usually ura nage or Tani otoshi that people counter with. Since your comment though I've been trying to use seoi nage a lot more in randori, regardless of whether I'm countered, both ippon and morote, right and left. Seoi nage will always be a difficult throw to get right, but my timing and speed is so much better now that uki is ususlly too off-balance to counter, even when the throw itself fails, so thanks for the advice.

MartialMallow thank you ! that was a fair answer

[@rorybreaker23]

The promotion of MMA (and BJJ's success in MMA) is what really made the sport explode in recent years. While Judo is very effective in real life situations, its not as effective as BJJ in an MMA match where they're not wearing attire you can establish a grip on. Yes, there are no-gi throws, but no-gi bjj will shine more in that situation. Also, IJF is not helping with their strict rules such as their recent ban on judokas migrating to other combat sports and coming back to judo. Restrictions like these are big turn-offs for prospective judoka. Judo is also much tougher on the body, more injury prone, and usually has a steeper learning curve. You can still have trouble throwing someone in a real-life situation correctly after one year of training Judo, while a year bjj practitioner would have an easier time submitting(or choking/breaking an arm/etc) someone on the street; generally speaking.

[@joaomartins9367]

To be honest, both are great sports with inspiring philosophies. Specially because they came from the same root: First you had the Samurai Ju Jutsu -> Then it inspired the creation of Judo -> From Judo, the BJJ was born. However, the problem is what people are doing to BJJ! While Judo is: (a) extremely organized (Unified federations and stuff); (b) practically all Judokas preach respect and discipline outside and mostly inside the dojo; (c) Well standardized when it comes to competition, rules and behavior; (d) Recognized in the Olympics. BJJ is becoming: (a) Segregated (Too many conflicts involving different Teams) ; (b) Several Brazilian Martial Arts Academy won't give a damn about respecting teammates and using BJJ as a discipline and respect tool; (c) Many videos around the globe are spreading a bad image of what BJJ is supposed to be (making it look like a sport for bullies, for example). ------------------------------------------------------------ Of course there are good BJJ institutions, but with the following years and popularization of the sport they are becoming less and less usual. About the technical differences between each sport: There are none. As I mentioned in the beginning, BJJ was born from JUDO, and Judo came from the Samurai Ju Jutsu. Therefore, what makes them look so different apart are the rules of what can be done in an official competition. Apart of that, both have the same chokes, immobilization, throwing techniques and kansetsu waza (joint locks). To finish the explanation, here's what is more common: - Judokas fight with a great posture and throw people more beautifully; - BJJ fighters have better ground work. In the end, it all depends on who is practicing. If you're Judoka, all have to do is work harder on the ground then you'll be complete. If you're BJJ, work harder on the throws and posture and you will be complete. Be honest and respectful with your teammates and don't make stupid fights against other academies. United the sport.

[@rorybreaker23]

@MartialMallow Okay, I could tell by your earlier comments that you were biased and in favor of bjj (fine), but this comment just takes the cake. "Most modern bjj throws are now better " --based on what? Just because wrestling has influenced bjj(as if Judo hasn't changed at all)? There are also other styles of evolved judo: Korean, French, Russian, etc. who have added their own elements to the sport overtime as well; not to mention Kosen judo. And, because of the rule set, there is actually more you can carry over from to judo to bjj than vice versa. In almost all bjj matches I've watched that consist of a judoka and a bjj practitioner, the bjj fighter doesn't even try to throw the judoka, and instead goes for shoots and crouches low with his hips out to avoid being thrown and slammed --I really don't know where you're getting this from. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r36viZalmbdqh80

when u compare this to British judo the judo above is far superior and not stiff arming or strength pulling but pure technique, in British judo being thrown is a sign of weakness and bad form i am taking about British judo association. seo nagi is not back carry throw but the shoulder throw, it is also called ippon seo nage

[@JudoLife]

Sorry I thought I replied but cant of posted. There are a few different seoinage done under the same heading, correct spelling is same as pronunciation, se (back) oi (refers to "carry") nage (throw) from the kanji. It isnt seo nagi. That's a well worn mispronunciation. Accepted translation is shoulder throw, but in my , and other fluent Japanese speakers opinion back carry throw is more descriptive of the action and more correct and would give better understanding of the action.

Judo is extremely difficult to get good at or enjoy because you can only practice within a class. With boxing, muay Thai, wrestling and definitely BJJ you can meet up with friends outside of class and practice. This is how iv learnt boxing over the years. With judo this is impossible. Girly firstly it's never encouraged by the coaches who just want you in there lessons. And the need for crash mats. But there is ways of practising lightly. However judo people won't go out the comfort zone

[@JudoLife]

It happens and encouraged here, a mattress on the ground outside and extra training outside official hours. It's a matter of security and hire charges, if you overcome those responsibilities then additional training can happen. Once a lock up procedure gets too wide it can allow burglars in from my past experience, so just a few opportunities for developing judoka here.
