Use Judo to Counter a Single Leg Takedown - BJJ

[@jeeprubicon392km]

This is the one I have been waiting for! Some people say that leg grip takedowns are invincible skills but there are ways to defence and counterattacks. Thank you for greats videos Mr. Higashi, I watch your videos everyday! Huge respect from South Korea.

That's why I hate that judo took those leg attacks away. Judo contains plenty of techniques to counter it and make it fair game.

@@cesaralvesdemoraes3187 I hope one day IJF permit awesome leg grips so that Judokas can play like Sambo or Freestyle Wrestlilng players.

​@@jeeprubicon392kmI've read that's why they were removed in order to keep the sport of Judo unique

[@jeeprubicon392km]

@@gyrox0031 I heard that Olympic does not allow sports that look similar. Like old Judo with leg gripping and Freestyle Wrestling are similar so they banned leg gripping in Judo. I might wrong but this is what I heard.

[@maofas]

Leg grabs were never that good in gi. They were removed because it led to stalling and made Judo less aesthetic and distinct.

[@TomDecherd]

Great lesson, thanks for sharing. You can also reach across with the captured leg and have a nice osoto gari. It's very unexpected.

[@hungersquid]

Awesome! Can you do a Double Leg Counter video?

[@Curtistopsidae]

Fantastic video! It's so helpful that you take the time to point out the key ideas and distinctions between scenarios rather than just giving a laundry list of techniques

[@kevinkrochak2546]

Thank you!

[@randallharter]

Killer leverage techniques

[@HangmanActual]

My favorite counter is sumi gaeshi. They never see it coming. But I promise you, they gonna be KZbin-ing "single leg avoid sumi gaeshi" the moment they get home.

[@luciusannaeusseneca1943]

I use this uchi mata as my defence so frequently and its such a high percentage move. Do reccomend. Also, tomoe nage for double leg defence.

[@luisalexandre4104]

Thank you sensei.

[@waterinabottle7791]

Cool

[@Modern_Electricity]

agreed

[@jacobfrank2164]

VERY COOL

[@Sam-hl9kl]

Can these effectively be applied to no gi as well?

[@Emanuel_carey]

Yes. You’re just making grip on his body

[@Emanuel_carey]

2:25 like here. You’d switch. Maybe opt for his triceps, and lat.

[@t.weber64kg]

Yes for the Uchi-Mata you need a tight over hook and a grip on the wrist or back of the elbow.

[@meep8026]

Nah, nogi makes these impossible

[@drosianoslouvaris6214]

Is this possible in no-gi?

[@mmongiello722]

Inside and outside single leg. A high croch is a different technique. It's more like a setup.

[@counterkidnapping1737]

Head outside is a high crotch

[@volcom52002]

I remember seeing Ronda do this on Miesha Tate during their second fight

[@svatandoost]

How about some kami basami 😅

[@Drikkerbadevand]

Definitely a possibility, yes.

I don't know who I'm talking to, I think you're the youngest person with this belt.....
