The Do's & Don'ts of Judo Newaza! Remember This Is NOT BJJ!

[@Chadi]

Incredibly useful! Thank you

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

Glad it was helpful Chadi!

[@spencerantoniomarlen-starr3069]

I love your real student's mindset to learning Judo and martial arts grappling in general!

[@MeroGrumble]

"Knee on belly" was actually considered a pin in the early days of judo under the name uki gatame ("floating control"). It was used primarly after a throw to "open" people staying compact by inserting the knee so that you could then transition to a pin like kesa gatame.

[@ramonpayan9654]

I love it! I am learning a lot from your videos. Thanks, Travis. I can't wait to apply some of these concepts myself in judo class.

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

You're welcome, Ramon! I hope it helps you during your randori sessions at the club when this is all over.

[@Raibo2106]

You train judo?

[@georgemdonnelly]

This is good on so many levels - vibes with the epic rants too. Thanks for this content.

[@ryandeming7495]

You should start your own Judo organization! I was thinking that when you were talking about how to fix USA Judo. I like your 3 tier (sport, martial art, self defense) idea. It would not only attract more students but would provide the students what they want to get out of their training👍

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

I'm not going to lie we have thought a lot about it. But, the last thing this country needs is another organization in it. Thats why I put everything out here live in hopes that one of the organizations pick up the ideas and start running with it. At the end of the day I don't believe I have to do these things but I do believe someone has too.

[@Karen-fs6lf]

Mike swain tried that

[@chriswheeler6838]

my theory as to why so many feel the need to get the flat back flat to floor... It might come from the kids classes. When teaching kids we have to both simplify the instructions as well as push motivations both for tori and uke. Especially for the purpose of escaping, we want them to keep trying so we artificially inflate the requirements to flat bak. But then coaches/teachers don't fix it when the kids get older and they all forget to fix the needs of tori.

[@alexmoreaux645]

Travis thanks for your time and knowledge

[@leoashura8086]

I learn so much from 1 lesson, in the dojo it would probably take me 1 month or more to learn all of this. Wow

[@peterlucas9462]

Thanks Travis if only I had this 30 years ago , however never too late to learn .

[@andrewashkettle]

I'm loving your videos Travis. I'm trying to get back into grappling so I tried out judo and the people there told me I have to watch your videos. Could you please expound or do a video on bridging verses shrimping escapes from side control for both judo and BJJ? I think I understand your logic for judo, you want to get out and you don't want to get pinned, but I heard you say for BJJ too?

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

You got it Andrew! Anything to help you along your grappling journy!

thank you newaza master

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

Thanks for that Jude! I'm glad you like the video!

[@Raibo2106]

You train also Judo?

[@physicalactivityscience1821]

Good stuff. Thank you. Just want to clarify, "knee-on-belly" is a form of uki-gatame, a recognized technique resulting in osaekomi. Bu I think you made the main idea, there is no point in doing it as it is not an efficient osaekomi technique.

[@Raibo2106]

Verry cool video from newaza...

[@Lion718]

Gold mine! Thanks !!

[@henrikg1388]

An amazing video with much to learn from. But you are so extremely pragmatic and competition oriented, and that's all fine. But mostly since I am to old to compete, but also for other reasons, I want to protect the entire art of judo and not just scrap everything that is outside today's rules. Back in my days, a pin took 30 seconds and your could break it by crawling out of the area. It made much more sense to transition to a sub back then. Just one example. And rules may change again, I hope.

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

I don’t fully understand your comment.

[@henrikg1388]

@@TravisStevensgrappling Sorry if I cannot make myself more clear. Judo rules have changed a lot over time, as you well know. My interest in Judo is not what is most effective in competition, but Judo as a martial art. My friend from the early 90s was so damned good at kata-guruma that he won the final in the national championships with it. Now it is banned. If I could remember the japanese name of my own favorite technique, I would tell you. A pretty brutal version of the standing kimura. My point is simply that while your videos are extremely well and educational, the are so focused on sport Judo with modern rules. If I go to a Judo dojo, I would still want to learn kata-guruma and morote-gari, because they are a part of the martial art, even if they are banned in competition. I hope this clarifies my point.

[@nareromero8969]

Buenos días amigos exelente video. Entiendo la técnica pero lastima que no es en español. 😂😂

[@nidgeontour257]

When you throw your opponent, if its not an Ippon and they turn out of it and go into a defensive position? That should determine what Ne Waza you do? So turn over from the front or the back or the side etc? I've written down 10 moves for each scenario and work on them with my grappling dummy's! I just drill them so I know them like the back of my hand! .

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

The position in which you land should determine which direction you attack first. Then the grips you have should determine what attack you do. I hope that makes since!

[@nidgeontour257]

Travis Stevens Hi Trav! I’m thinking if I throw but don’t land with them and I’m going from a standing position into ground work? For example if I throw morote Seoi nage and they twist out if it I’m assuming they’ll land and turtle up with their head in front of me? I’ve been working on two moves for that. Sankaku from the front obviously or a cross choke turn over grabbing his right lapel with my right hand and grabbing his collar with my left hand and turning him using my legs, as I shoot under him. If that makes sense? 👍😂😂💪 🥋

[@lucatraverso6891]

Well explained.... 👍

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

Thanks Luca.

[@Raibo2106]

You train judo?

[@spencerantoniomarlen-starr3069]

Wow, really interesting video! I have a question for you Travis and I really hope it doesn't come across the wrong way, but an unstated theme of this video was that you were explaining and demonstrating the Ne Waza approach and mindset for competitive Judo matches, not for self defense purposes. I a 27 year old martial artist who is not athletic, never have been, but I do take self defense very seriously. Does some of this apply to Judo as a martial art for self defense as well rather than just the ruleset of current international Judo competitions??

[@rollinOnCode]

What is wrong with BJJ?

[@LC-hv1qn]

Nothing. There are culture wars. Lol....

[@estogaza5827]

@@LC-hv1qn There is something wrong with it. It’s takedowns suck ass. Leaving even black belts totally helpless in a real fight. They just have to hope their opponent is smaller than them and untrained so they can sloppily get it to the ground. However it sounds like John Danaher recognizes this and trains his bjj guys in quality stand up grappling. So maybe there will eventually be a culture shift. But probably not since you know, Judo and wrestling are hard. So it’ll probably still be terrible at most schools and a few elite schools will morph into something fantastic.

In bjj if you try to roll away you will get your back taken. I regularly fuck up judo guys in newaza by "playing guard". Our newaza is just better. Judo tachiwaza is better. Those are just facts.

[@Todo_fighting]

Where are you from ?

[@abbisgm3453]

Bro that’s for judo tournament sport judo no traditional judo newaza learn the rules they want the throws and point to win if you didn’t fall in you back get the choke so they go into ground work for 25 second so no need to fight just try to avoid the choke for 25 second after that you go back to wrestling in judo got it???

[@LC-hv1qn]

Great stuff. But don't speak for bjj. Micro adjustments are always needed and used in bjj. When are you putting your money where your mouth is? Enter ADCC.

[@Brandon-ob9rg]

Lol. True. How many judo competitors have entered into adcc?

Hahaha he’s a master in the ground too have you seen him?? Go search his is one of the most brutal also why so much cultural shit? Maeda was the one who went to Brasil and taught judo to the Gracies the only thing they did was take judo newaza and stay on the ground more and made little adjustments that’s all go and read history bro
