My biggest weakness was my stand up too. Then I got my brown belt and thought “oh shit, I’m about to be a black belt with terrible takedowns”… haha. Full judo mode engaged. Hey I have a full course for sale where I cover every throw I found usefulfor Jiu Jitsu, as well as drills, movement, grip fighting etc. check the description!

Thank you so much!

me too man haha

Hey Breck, yes exactly! Key component to making a lot throws work is the footwork, namely planting in the correct direction so you can generate force in the correct direction. Thanks man!

You're very welcome. Report back 👍

Awesome, congrats on taking the scary leap into doing Judo. Spar carefully and learn to breakfall!

Bro, I was the same way, I hated judo. Then I started learning it and using it and realized how sick it was.

Thanks Sammy, more to come man

Osoto Gari would complete the combo

Great question! To keep it simple, I teach from the competitive BJJ perspective. I cover the modifications you need to make to certain high percentage techniques for them to succeed against common BJJ situations. For example, uchimata. If you tried uchimata the conventional way it’s taught in Judo, with a lifting tsurite and hikkite, and inside collar control, you’re going to have difficulty getting your hips close enough and you may get your back taken once you commit due to the “cling” effect a Jiujeteiro have when thrown. A better option is to use an outside uchimata, and to force their head down even further into their already bent over stance. Your grip should be an outside grip, inferior in judo, but difficult to hug the back after the throw. This modified uchimata would be difficult on an upright judoka, but is like magic on a stooped over Jiujeteiro.

@@DubiousDom thanks for the detailed reply. I noted your grips, that's a good point... (my Judo coaches would kill me if they say that grip). I'll try it at jits, it'll extend their posture more. Thank you much.

My channel is tiny haha! Hopefully it grows more 🙏🏽

I'm brown belt bjj, been training judo for 3 months (using your work as my sort of base) and I threw a judo black belt with Hiza after watching this. Not meant as a brag- your stuff works. I think more people will look to have your kind of skill set in bjj in the future. And the sport will be better off for it! Keep doing what you're doing. If you could maybe do a video on how to approach guard pullers I would appreicate it. Unless you've already made it and I missed it

I guess the problem with it is, that the upper body needs to come forward, so the foot makes the step to balance it, which you then block to throw... When he's hanging back in this very low, defensive bjj stance, its very hard pulling his upper body forward all the way through. Mostly you wont be able to break the defensive posture or you'll end up getting countered. In this case, you need a different timing on the hiza. Use his forward momentum as a setup and use the hiza as a counter move. Wait or bait him into comming forward. Just start pulling when he's already moving forward (in the direction where you wanna pull in the first place). If you develop good timing it might work. But im a beginner too. Its just how i see the situation

Thank you💪

Yes! Over under grips work great no gi. Also hiza guruma uses the knee as the fulcrum, where as sasae uses the ankle. I like hiza because it’s usually a bigger drop haha.

@@DubiousDom thanks man that makes sense, appreciate the specificity from you judo guys!

@@joeg7096 haha, I’m actually a Jiu Jitsu guy! Been doing Jiu Jitsu for 11 years, and started judo 3 years ago.

@@DubiousDom I know bro I've seen you tearin it up on the circuit. I saw on reddit tho you got your judo bb, so I figured you have the credentials to be called a judo guy now as well lol

@@joeg7096 oh damn my bad haha, well in that case I appreciate it!

I think the main thing that makes it easier is the forward bent posture. The weight of their head is already over their toes, so half of the off-balance is done for you. Also, I prefer hiza because it’s more of a dunk than sasae, but I’ll take what I can get since both movements are identical.

@@DubiousDom Thanks! I agree on the bent over posture, but what I don't understand yet is why turn throws aren't also super easy against BJJ posture then. Somehow people can stiff-arm my turn throw away, but not my sasae... Anyway, thanks!

@@maxikozie it’s because BJJ players stay on their heels with their weight back at the first sign of danger. They’re like constantly awaiting a turning forward throw, it’s the one they worry most about. The big Seoi Nage or o goshi. They’re essentially playing Rock Paper Scissors and just choosing rock everytime, which works great if you only use scissors. Attack the backwards throws and get them off their heels and the turning forward throw will be much easier.

@@DubiousDom I love that Rock Paper Scissors analogy, I'll hold onto that :) I still don't fully understand why that makes Hiza easier than turn throws, because they're both forward. Somehow they can block the turn throw, but not the (weaker) Hiza? I feel like an explanation exists, and that it also explains why I find ouchi much easier than kouchi against BJJ posture. But anyway, thanks a lot for responding to my messages! BTW: I actually landed your uchi mata against BJJ posture this weekend :)

@@maxikozie I think the reason is that Hiza is less telegraphed because you don't need to completely rotate to attack the throw. Anytime you break eye contact to turn and throw it's like alarm bells going off for the uke, which is why the head turn is integrated into ko uchi set ups. Also like I said before, BJJ fighters are overly reactive to that head turn and stay heavy on the heels, so turning forward throws get preemptively stuffed. That, and also being able to forward throw while still generally facing the opponent lowers the skill ceiling dramatically, so not only is it easier on BJJ people, it's just easier. Probably the last reason would be that many turning forward throws use the hip as the fulcrum, and BJJ fighters retract the hips super far to avoid that. Hiza uses the knee as the fulcrum, which is more available. Sorry my espresso just hit so wall of text haha

I am sure my man has no problem getting dates.
