I'm interested in learning Judo for self defense. How hard is it when throwing someone in a self defense situation to make sure that their head doesn't smash into the pavement? That's the one thing I'm worried about in ever using a throw like that in a self defense situation, because if you throw an attacker onto concrete and they're not expecting to get thrown and they're not trained in how to fall their head could easily smash down on the ground and people can die like that. I heard people getting knocked out or thrown and then hitting their head on the ground is the most common way people die in a fight.

worked at nightclubs, i assumed you have very good condition, is it possible for person to do street judo without good stamina as you are?

Control opponent all the way down. Also if you have been attacked you should consider your safety first. Apart from that Judo is a way of life so approach it with right attitude. Other thing is that what are the odds that you will every be physically attacked on your life? Unless you are really looking for it 🤣

Abdurrahman Madip youre not gonna be able to do any of these techniques just by watching yoitube videos and having “no stamina” if you wanna get good you gotta train hard and do hard randori not just learn the techniques. So to answer your question , no because the good stamina comes along w the training.

What if he single or double leg you?

No worries, man! When it doesn't work in randori just take it back step by step: drilling with a willing opponent, then drilling with a resisting opponent and, finally, back to randori. I have the same problem with my BJJ, but it usually comes after a 2-3 rounds of this process. Also remember that there are a lot of components that come into play even for some pretty simple techniques (stance, grip fighting, balance, strength, technique, etc.). When I see my technique failing I usually try to take it back to where I started and check each step. At any rate, keep training! Osu!

@@sway71 This is awesome advice.

yep i feel you man i think it's better to go for a morote gari than a single leg… i Don't think it's a good idea to attack the leg like freestyle wrestling in self defense. It's to easy to get a knee strike on your face or just the opponent to move and you fail to grab his leg… I think the best combo is greco-roman wrestling and judo attacks

good point any tips & advice on how to penetrate steps in street?

@Amusis YYeah, thats a great angle for that foot sweep.

Point taken, I find if you lower your hips first, you can crouch like that even if you're on a hard surface. I think you could also modify it in the street so that your knees didn't quite hit the ground. It's self-defense, not a tournament, you won't get points taken away. Foot sweeps would also work haha

@@user-fu4il4sj8g I know this is a 7 month old comment, but the SAME EXACT principle applies. You wanna pound his face so that he covers up, and when he's shelled up like that, you go in for the clinch and wrap your arms around his torso instead of his leg. Then from there you can suplex him (kinda risky on concrete, since there's a good chance you can injure yourself and also possibly kill him), or trip him (much safer), or from there you can go for a much more controlled transition to his leg without fear of injuring yourself. Another possibility is you can also quickly transition into grabbing him from the back, where it'll be much easier to slam him. As for what to do AFTER you have him on the ground? There's a good possibility that he might have broken his fall by posting, or shifting his weight, or doing all of the "instinctual" things people will do to break their fall, so there's a good chance that a slam won't be enough to end the fight. In that case, all you have to do is gain top dominance, from which you can rain blows down on him, which will quickly sap him of his strength and will. If he manages to get back up, repeat the first steps. Make him scared of your striking game so that he turtles up. Go for the clinch. From the clinch, go for the takedown. From the takedown, go for the ground and pound. If he gets up, repeat. If he starts to anticipate the clinch and the top striking, go for body kicks, leg kicks, single legs, or double legs.

If you know judo and he tries to tackle you then you would be able to f*ck him up easy, you could throw him, break his arm, mount him and then ground and pound...

Tackling is attacking. It is an offensive attacking act against someone. None of this is attacking; this is all response to attack, being attacked. It is self-defending. A fool who attacks someone can be very well on their way to a bad mess of a day. Should the self-defender be trained at all. Especially in judo.
