Kudo should gain more popularity. It really looks fun and very effective. Wish it has more dojos around the world including in my area

Judo is such a practical martial art that it makes kudo attractive just because of it. Take a martial art and add judo techniques to it, and it suddenly becomes interesting and more realistic. So, Kudo is a martial art I would have loved to learn. Certainly, I'd recommend kudo, only second to judo, for a boy to practice self defense. Good video, Chadi.

Kudo and Sanda are my two main styles I'd love to learn for their striking integrated with grappling

Ur vids have in small part helped keep me sane while I'm stuck in my room with covid, keep it up man!

Great thanks for the video. I think, it`s a big thing in kudo - classical gi + gloves with open fingers. All this make good posabilities for making takedowns. If judo as a stile need sport "combat" competitions (as combat SAMBO for example), it must be something like kudo.

Didnt even know such an art existed :D Its like a mix of Karate + Judo... = Kudo? :D

Brilliant breakdown as usual!! Thanks Chadi!

Excellent work Chadi. You really do your research when it comes to other arts. I'm a Kudo practitioner myself based in the United Kingdom. If anybody in the UK is interested in getting involved with Kudo please reply to this thread and I'll pass you information privately. Osu!

Thanks for covering this!

I like the fact, that you can train hard/full contact as a normal person and limit the Injury possibility. Not everyone is going to be a pro in MMA :D So next day i still can go to work!

When Azuma Takashi was a Judoka rules was totally different. It was all throwing techniques actually very successful in Kudo . You can't grab the legs anymore . Very sad .

This was a montage of ouches. I think the momentum of the strikes really makes the throws so much more powerful. While it’s not the art Aikido, I think it may well be the principle of “aiki,” which is really hard to train for in arts like Judo. It’s not impossible, of course, but the windows of overextension tend to come in much smaller bursts whereas in Kudo it seems like you can really lure the opponent into a flurry of swings and use that to your advantage.. not that you’d want to be on the receiving end of any of those.

Thanks alot for your nice channel and videos mr chadi this 👍 what I wish

Kudo is the best thing that happened to karate.

A really great video! Very informative! Many thanks :)

No conocía el Kudo. Gracias!!!! Escelente trabajo!!!!.

As a fan of both MMA and judo I for a long time regretted that there is no judogi in mma which would really allow grapplers to shine. So it's pleasant suprise for me to see this Kudo Martial Art which basically works like mma in judogi. I would gladly practice it if it was in my city.

The only thing I don't like much about kudo, is the helmet. It's big and a lot heavyier than a boxing / kickboxing helmet. The weight and the size makes it difficult to qickly slip punches. The other thing is the plexyglass visor, it may be good to protect the eyes against toenails (with kicks) and fingers in the eyes, but it makes it harder to breath, makes the head extremely hot, and has a tendency to be covered in fog and condensation. Plus, the official kudo helmet is expensive, nearly as expensive as the far superior quality boxing helmets from Winning, or more expensive than the better Yoseikan-budo helmets. anyway, Kudo is a great art, and this was a great video, thanks !

Very interesting and informative. I've never had any contact with Kudo.

As a Judoka learning Karate it took a while to apply throws i knew very well... The maai and kuzushi were different and the fact I needed to add in kick, punch and throw etc made it a new skill to learn. Also kumi kata is restricted in my experience. Anyway if you get the chance to study with a good Karate sensei as an alternative to Kudo. You can mix Judo and Karate with your own efforts.

Yo hago bjj y me gusta mucho el judo. Pero también hago karate, me gusta la idea de poder combinar ambas disciplinas a través del kudo, que también me gusta bastante. ¿Pero el kudo será buen complemento también para el bjj? Quiero decir. ¿Puedo aprender a derribar y proyectar al oponente también en kudo, o sería mejor judo?

This is the first time I've ever heard of Kudo

Karate+judo=kudo. I love your videos.

Thankyou again bro😂🙏

Kudo is awesome. Much more exiting to watch than MMA IMO. I wish I had had chance to have a go 40+ years ago!

Reminds me of MMA but with a gi. Very different though due to a karate base for striking.

You should do a video on Gong Kwon Yusul

all martial arts evolved by combination of style or concept---- in other words, rehash of old martial arts designed for self defense. It is going back in full circle where it started as a fighting arts for self preservation.

Love this music

Hey I was replying to that. 😄

May I ask why in kudo when they ground and pound they do it softly like when someone is on a dominant position. It is a common occurence in matches that instead of punching, they just retract their punches repeatedly softly

I wonder how helpful the Kuro helmet really helps in preventing concussions. I would think it just prevents black eyes and cuts but the brain is still rocks

What does it take so long to re-integrate Karate and Judo?

I would really like to do Kudo & compete under it's rules, unfortunately it's not widely available.

Curious how they easily get knocked lights out even with those helmates on

Kudo looks the business!

Wow Kudo is impressive.

Judo and wrestling, mix with a striking art like boxing or mu tai will be always effective.

how about tae-kwondo and judo. Would that be Tudo? Tudo could be really fun to do and to watch.

#Kudo should be in every major state/city. Like Manhattan, NY and Miami/Fort Lauderdale, FL not just Cali.

More kudo vids

7:31 dude is dead, seriously :o

1:42 disgusting. I've been to judo tourneys where this is a DQ for the guy that decided to dive headfirst into the floor. That's beyond a sacrifice technique.

Kudo❤❤

I'd love to see a Kudo fighter destroy a BJJ'ist

😁🇺🇸

Japanenese MMA sounds great

...vs Ludo

Kudo is just Judo, but better because you can attack the legs

No leg grabs it seems in kudo , judging from the video snippets.

So kudo is Japanese sambo

Pyjama MMA

Viva il Kudo!!!

Kudo just looks like jujutsu done by psychos. Striking is part of jujutsu along with all of judo already-kudo seems to be exactly the same thing except these people appear to be deliberately trying to cripple their opponent. It looks like UFC done by angry drunks.

I think kudo should just take the helmets off

The art would have een better just keeping people who train on Kudo without gear... You are telling me Kyukoshin Karatekas can take a full on wheel kick to the head but Kudo people can't train without helmets? It defeats the purpose of mixing karate and judo.

Why are you deleting my comments?

What cant handle some criticism ? Judo is just wannbie Greco-Roman wrestling with ugly coats, just a a liitle less useful. Kudo is just Judo 1.2. Only Master Ken Kan can stop me.

Karate+judo=kudo. I love your videos.
