I've been teaching judo for many years and as part of the judo training I incorporate a jujitsu class or session during judo classes. I teach how to use judo techniques in self defence mode. Essentially in my opinion that is what jujitsu is. That is why my dojo trains in the traditional judo which includes many techniques that are not permitted in comps but are still part of Judo. Many don't agree with me doing this but, hey, it's my dojo...And I agree, regardless, techniques need to reflex to be efficient. Keep up the good works guys.....

Using any martial art for self-defence should include the following, •Multiple attackers •Defending against weapons •If legal in your country, learn how to use weapons •Scenario training •De-escalation skills •Awareness training •The pre and post fight •Have some understanding about your country's self defense law, just incase you have to justify your actions in court You can't simply do sparring, and expect that's all you need for self defense!

An idea that's used in Gracie CTC''s, which is one person puts on boxing gloves and tries to punch the practitioner in the head, practitioner tries to execute techniques. It would be great if all Judo schools integrated this type of training.

That would be so interesting, like judo going back to Jiujitsu roots and modernizing it. Imagine if the IJF implemented it as a separate certificate program you could earn separate from the sportive side.

Thank you Chadi for bringing him on, but I have some points: 1. I told you I was attacked by a hooligan with a gun in an attempted mugging on New Years of 2020. If you want to read the full details, I am sharing my personal document which I wrote immediately after the incident. docs.google.com/document/d/1Bq5Yz0W53pKusGn09lokUzLTAD9KGtuUL5jol-EhRW0/edit?usp=sharing Technical Summery: Timing, double sleeve control, rotate him, bear hug from back, Tani-Otoshi, mount, isolate the arms from gun, full guard, rotate from full guard while legs are still controlling the gun, to back mount with my legs wrapped around his waist and the gun, to finally Hadaka Jime. But I couldn't finish him because I didn't want to kill him. I am not very good at traditional rear naked stangles as opposed to the throat chokes. 2. I cannot stand this arrogant guy. He's part of the IJF that the Kodokan doesn't like. This guy, who has zero, absolutely zero self defense/MMA pedigree is the guy who has lead the watering down of Judo. In the 1950s you could still grab legs. Now, all current Judoka who have never cross trained will get taken down by a 3rd stripe BJJ white belt who did less than five classes on double leg takedowns. Especially with pants on. I say this from experience. I had to learn how to do a proper sprawl from videos by olympic wrestlers. Shido this, shido that. Let them fight. Neil is no authority on Judo. He's just a jock who ranked up. He's not even good sport Judo let alone the full spectrum of combat Judo. Neil has invented nothing relevant in sport Judo. He's not an academic like Kano Sensei. I don't know if he even went to college. Kano at 22 was significantly more intelligent than this guy. In that same token Jon Jones is significantly more relevant than Adams. If anyone thinks Neil is a tough guy, let him fight Rickson. Same age and size. Let's see who comes out alive. Age means nothing, and raw experience means nothing. It comes down to philosophy. That's why people like Marcelo Garcia and John Danaher are so effective. Danaher as egotistical as he is, is actually super smart. Neil is nowhere near that level. So I find it incredibly offensive that such a person holds such a high position in the IJF. He's not qualified. And the Kodokan know it. 3. Sport Judo is not real combat Judo. It isn't even 20% of real combat Judo. Someone who understood this profoundly was the founder of Shotokan Aikido, Kenji Tomiki sensei. The objective of sport judo is to throw as hard as possible. Basically it's wrestling with jackets, and scores in a similar way to how freestyle wrestling is scored. 5 points is like an Ippon etc. In real life the objectives are absolutely different. In real life fighting, and I say this as someone who survived getting killed by a gun, is : 1. Control the weapon. That means controlling the hands that control the weapon. 2. Do not fight face to face. Optimally the back is the best place to fight. 3. Control the body. That means eventually getting to mount/back mount/side control etc. 4. Finish the fight. Practice strangles. All of the throat chokes and limb breaking is useless. You must turn off their brain. Turn off their brain, then you can control the weapon, wrap them call the cops etc. Sport Judo: You cannot bear hug. You cannot hold onto the back. etc. The objectives of sport judo is spectacle and athleticism. It's a thing to strive for. Real combat life or death... stay alive. That's it. Don't let him stab or shoot you. The end. It doesn't have to be beautiful. It has to be efficient. Tomiki understood this. All classical JuJutsu is based on hand control. That's why Daito Ryu AikiJuJutsu, the real combat version of Aikido, is all about controlling the hands. Control the hands that wants to grab a weapon. The grips we learn on day one in sport judo, the symmetrical lapel and sleeve at the elbow is absolute trash. It's a stupid position. It's something meant for training purposes, but for real fighting, it's a stupid position. The same way berimbolo is a stupid position for real life fighting. Goshin Jutsu needs to be developed. It's a joke in it's current status. It needs to be practiced on a weekly basis. Get your buddies in the gym. Wear your normal clothes street clothes and hoodie. And try to kill each other with dummy weapons. That's the only way to learn. That's how I stayed alive. Thank God. Because I used to make trips to my BJJ pals hours away from where I lived, and the move I used to stay alive was shown to me in one of those "self defense" classes. Chadi. I like your videos. My grudge against Neil is not a personal one, but a Judo one. He shouldn't hold such a high position in the IJF. In fact the IJF is a joke. IJF Judo deviates from Kodokan Judo every single year. Neil can keep his Olympic and world medals, I survived a gun shooting. My reward of staying alive can never be matched by medals. 4. My opinion is just like wrestling has two main styles, Freestyle and Greco-Roman, Judo should have multiple competition formats. We already have three. Russian Judo also known as SAMBO, Brazilian Judo known as BJJ, and IJF Judo. We should have Goshin Jutsu Judo, which focuses on the combat aspects. There have been attempts at this, but they aren't popular for some reason. Kenji Tomiki Sensei (Aikido/Judo) made shotokan Aikido. It isn't popular. But dance dance Aikido is for some reason. Then very interestingly, Takashi Azuma Sensei (Karate/Judo) founded Kudo the early 80s, which was essentially MMA/Combat Sambo. It wasn't popular, even though today MMA is the fastest growing sport. There should be a competition format that focuses on the types of scenarios in our modern lives. Not how to defend against swords or a spear like classical JuJutsu, but guns and knives. MMA/Combat Sambo has hand to hand 1-on-1 combat already covered. The weapons aspect, and policing subduing without hurting someone aspect are parts that are still neglected by the martial arts community. Stay safe guys, and practice with a self defense philosophy, not a point based sporting philosophy.

Another good topic, thank you for sharing 😊.

Chadi - adding basic atemi in combination to randori judo is a strong package. Adding techniques from Kime no kata is next. Beyond that you just refine

Thank you Chadi Good topic Nice interview

Neil Adams touches upon the topic of mental aggression at 10:45. I can't remember what channel it was - possibly Tim Larkin, possibly Fight Science - where they pointed out that you can never underestimate a street fighter because many of them, who are used to an aggressive environment, have the advantage of being unpredictable in their moves but also in their mentality. Whereas most rational, and the civilized of us would rather avoid hurting someone, the street fighter, bully, has a predatory mentality where they have no feelings of remorse or consequences. They're sociopathic in many ways and don't think twice or care about sucker punching, resorting to a weapon or throwing haymakers in a fit of rage when their fuse blows. They will attack you, when you are least prepared. How do those of us who are civilized throw on that rage when we need it? That adrenaline dump that summons strength and power that we typically don't even experience in our martial arts classes? That's really the trick. I read somewhere, a story by Dan Inosanto I believe (may have been the late Taky Kimura but I think it was Inosanto), where he was kicking a bag in front of Bruce Lee and Lee thought he wasn't putting enough effort into it. Apparently Lee walked up to Inosanto and sucker slapped him across the face and told Inosanto to kick the bag again properly. Somewhat humiliated and enraged by the slap, Inosanto walloped on the heavy bag. Lee referred to that power that comes from pent up emotion and channeling it usefully as "controlled anger". Another example of this is in the Christmas holiday classic movie, "A Christmas Story" where the main character, 10 year old Ralphie, is humiliated by the school bully and summons the rage to take down the much bigger bully. That's that emotional edge that helps. The question is how do you get it? You spend years in martial arts class learning to control your emotions but in a fight for survival you need that kind of controlled single minded rage. Or do you?

Seeing self defense judo would be epic

I always said that you have a message to deliver in your channel not just martial arts fan channel go ahead 👍

Mr. Adams - "30 seconds...40 seconds ... and it's over " . I could listen to Chadi and Neil talk about street fighting for hours and I'm seeing more and more practitioners of various styles questioning the efficacy of their chosen path as it applies to actual street fighting and not simply sport . Excellent video Chadi . Another for the history books . Thanks again .

Wow I love listening to Neil Adams, and awesome to hear him mention Geoff Thompson!

The coordination gained in counterthrow n breakfall good skills 2 have judo can easily b modified 4 self defense just sprinkle n some street smarts....

Valente brothers are great and I love training under them .

Hi thanks for this interview in my personal point of view all trainings as well as the falls should be trained self-defense in my méthod for self défense sensei Kawaishi Miconosushi Teach about that now Judo is only olímpic game no self defense this is the big problem judo and Jujitsu have the same personal defense technique in their kata so why teach only compétition Judo ?

👍👍

Advanced Evolution A matter of digging and research. (Sometimes subjects consolidate like Prepping stuff but not always.) Self Defense Various Ju Jitsu Ryu have good advice and research (...and bad) Never leave a public area with a criminal (the beginning of the end) seems obvious... Walk towards traffic (you can see what's coming) ...lots of small "safety" points

and also sanda rhymes with these 5 combat sports check sanda,kyokushin karate,taekwondo itf best kung fu karate taekwondo styles of all time sanda,muay thai,savate best kickboxing styles of all time and sanda combat sambo best military martial arts of all time and all 6 have there very own combat sport so yeah i can earn and win money as a boxer,kickboxer,mma fighter and also in these combat sports which are sanda,kyokushin karate,taekwondo itf,muay thai,savate and combat sambo what do you think

Just for your information, a self defense curriculum has been created in 2015 (or 2016 maybe) in france.

Look into Combat Judo. You might consider interviewing Sensei Barron Shepard. He has a new book on the subject that just came out. Good work on your show BTW!

Its like judo went Into the dark age and needs to go back into Enlightenment Era

Judo should simply copy valente brothers curriculum. It meshes rather nicely.

Judo self defense seems to be an exercise in imagination. The tools are all there. Perhaps this is why Zen is so popular in Traditional Martial Arts

I hate to state the obvious. If you want to do research; look into Gracie combatives. You can’t become a blue belt without it in the Gracie system. Look at their responses to strikes from the standing or the ground. 36 techniques and Judo can create something similar. Judo and BJJ are the wings of the same bird. Just look how Royce Gracie handled strikes in the early UFC.
