Safe Judo Throws - The Shintaro Higashi Show

[@chrisdonovan8795]

I feel like sumi gaeshi is pretty safe. It's even a fun throw to take.

[@thanhbuidux2308]

Thank you Shintaro for all the tips you provide, since I watched you Videos my Randori game got much better. Also I just earned my Orange Belt last Friday. Thank You for all the lessons

I really like tani otoshi but, I won't execute the throw unless I can lift uke up and control his body and thus, his weight. If I feel uke start to drop, I pull my leg that's behind him back and shoot for a ko soto gari. I've found it to be pretty effective.

[@Drikkerbadevand]

yeah it's one of those where even if you do everything right, uke can unintentionally move to an angle where, when you drop down, you can injure them. I've personally had my knee sprained 3 times in my short (5 years) judo career.. Most often beginners. They just sit down on your knee and try to pull you perpendicular to your - locked - knee joint. Ow..

good sound quality

3:38 I didnt just see an ACL tear I heard it from the other side of the room It was like when you remove a chicken drumstick from a thigh, which I guess in essence is the same thing Either way knew immediately that guy was done

[@GrinningNimbus]

I've found harai goshi to be pretty scary. Very easy to hurt your opponent with it. In no gi/ mma it's very easy to land and I've had to adjust so I don't land on my opponent unless I want to hurt them and sometimes they pull me on top anyway and I get no choice but to knock the wind out of them or break their ribs.

I still want the any grips judo instructional

[@chrisdonovan8795]

I agree about not relying on physicality. I'm 54. I've been playing since 19. I'm not good at Judo, but I love the physicality of it. Now, I have chronic hip and knee problems. I've learned to enjoy randori again because I've finally learned to relax and take falls easily. When I play with a very skilled judoka close to my weight, I almost never get injured during tachi randori. Ground work is different.

pls show us the ogoshi - tsuri goshi combo video next :D

I started Judo late in life at 53. I am fit and have done martial arts my whole life so maybe not your average 53 year old I'm a 61 year old brown belt now. Every class we practice breakfalls as part of the warm up, probably true in every Judo dojo in the world. The high level competitor class's athletes are then taught to land sloppy (my phrasing) so as to give your opponent a Waziri instead of Ippon. How is that safe?

[@chrisdonovan8795]

You're right, but like he says in the video, Judo is dangerous; especially among high level competitors. I'm 54 and have been playing since I was 19. I was never good, but weight training made me fairly resistant to injuries. As I aged, I refused to admit it, and continued to train with people who outweighed me, were just more aggressive, or a combo of both. That's when the chronic injuries started. I regret the attitude that allowed them to happen. I still train, but I make sure that my randori partners are aware of my limitations when doing tachi. Ne waza isn't as much of a threat since the action is slower, and I'm more skilled in it. I think it's awesome that you started in your fifties and you're still going at it!

[@simonrcarson]

Good on you. Just started judo at 63 - got my 6th kyu on Saturday.

[@liamcage7208]

@@chrisdonovan8795 A couple of years ago I switched to the recreation Judo class. It was hard for my ego but the injuries don't heal as fast as they used to. I pop into the compeditor class once in a while but the Rec class is my speed now.

[@liamcage7208]

@@simonrcarson Good for you sir. I respect people who are always challenging themselves. Congratulations on 6th kyu. I was training with a new guy once and his fitness level wasn't great, but that's why your here right. Anyway, half way through the class he gassed out and said to me, "...I'm getting too old for this". He was 35 years old. I laughed so hard I had tears.

[@liamcage7208]

I really dislike the "IJF is ruining judo and watering it down with the bans" as if they never thought about what had to happen and how to do it. They never bring up their alternative of how to make that target without doing what IJF did. They just like to complain. I think it's particularly people who got into judo as self-defense and have never fought a person even after learning all their judo so they look at the olympics and go "that isn't what street fight looks like, that's what I signed up for". None of them definitely never address injury rates.

Just a thought from listening. Judo is a full contact sport. Which entails that people are making contact in an aggressive manner. Now I get wanting judo to be “safer” so it could apply to a broader group of people, however it would take away the fun. Personally my favorite part about judo is getting the big throw off of getting thrown even. Just this Thursday at practice one of my training partners that is 6’2 240lbs got an Uchimata on me than landed directly on top of me but it wasn’t bad I got right back up and we continued our randori. If we constantly worry about not harming anyone than how are you going to get better at the throws that are “more dangerous” now it’s not like you should be just spamming drop knee and slamming peoples head/ neck into the mat but if you’re doing that than your technique is flawed. To end this rant/statement I’d say if you want to get into judo you should be aware that you could get hurt. BECAUSE ITS A FULL CONTACT SPORT!! Football is a full contact sport but people keep playing it. The people that play football are aware they could get hurt at anytime

[@chrisdonovan8795]

This is true, but if you run a dojo that doesn't make an effort to minimize damage, you will cut down your numbers fast. My old dojo used to do that. It's slower, and perhaps less likely to "make olympians" but you will engage more people if you stress taking care of your partner.

Safe judo= aikido
