Johannes my thoughts exactly. My sensei really didn’t want us to use it offensively. Being in martial arts disciplines students to refrain from fighting.

Definitely!! Physical altercation is extremely dangerous. Especially for the skilled athlete who can injure someone and end up in jail.

@@Shigashi84 This is probably the greatest advantage to judo schooling and disadvantage to BJJ. BJJ gets you off to a hard, fast start and learning legitimately dangerous skills, without the maturity and restraint necessary to carry it responsibly. I spent months in judo, just learning how to *not* paralyze my partner. The last 'fight' I got into, was about 25 years ago. When leaving a bar after a heated game of pool, the other group followed us into the parking lot. One of them lunged at me, I slipped it and just kinda hung my foot out and dragged their back foot as they tried to step forward. They tripped and went face first into a car. Everyone thought they just stumbled and fell. Fight over. When people ask whats the most effective martial art, I say look at youtube and see which one has the fewest 'real [insert art] street fight' videos. As for boxing, Im hearing what you're saying, but even a little bit of real sparring will very quickly teach you the most crucial and effective fighting skill of them all - how to take a beating. If you can't endure a beating, you can't fight. Especially when the far most likely reason you're defending yourself, is because you got ambushed and are just trying to stay alive long enough to figure out whats happening.

@@springbloom5940 the majority of bjj schools dont even teach self defense at all anymore but certainly it's not getting off to a fast start it's pure sport grappling. After 25 yrs in different grappling sports,judo with a bit of sparring no gi with strikes is more than enough for the street.

100% agree

Oss!

They don't teach you grappling in the police academy? That's a big flaw.

yes I am of same opinion but I wouldn't use jujitsu kicks....

@@fivestaralliancemartialart7773 it is minimum and only Grappking for Krav, a lot of academies still use FBI which is minimal

@Rob Parker Judo is too dangerus to use against people who do not know how to fall + concrete....

How would training with a gi get you ready for a self defense situation in the street though? Im genuinely thinking about starting judo

@@NUFC975 Do it! I've used Judo in every self defense situation I've been, you can easily adapt the throws to no Gi, and in some cases you can use ordinary clothes just as the GI. Don't think so much about chokes or very complex techniques, when it comes to the street your ability to move a person around and over you (and not let them move you) and throw them on the floor will be what gives you advantage.

@@NUFC975 train no gi

​@@NUFC975 Do you wear clothes?

If you have trained for a year or two under a good instructor, your judo should be effective. Osoto-gari is the most common throw. But I have used Sasae-Tsurikomi-Ashi to down a kung fu fighter. Fight was over in 3 seconds. I was a shodan then at age 16.

Tell me your anecdotes pls

I tripped on a hole while running at night and I immediately went into a Judo roll on instinct instead of faceplanting because I did it so many times each day.

Me too, dog pulled me over a deep brook, I jumped it but couldn't stop the momentum so just did a Judo roll. Bit of a muddy coat but that was it

Is it better than bjj ??

Muay thai can pair very well with Judo. Most people think of muay thai as the art of 8 limbs but it's actually the clinching and sweeping game which is its defining characteristic. Many of its footsweeps are actually identical to Judo techniques.

Diet, and exercise :) ?

If you flip the Pringles don’t you end up Eating more chips?

Well there’s sparring and sparring. I trained in various striking martial arts styles over the years and only grappling styles allowed full on non compliant adversaries. Striking arts don’t allow you to go full out for obvious reasons.

How is a person who has done judo in gi all his life gonna know about no gi hooks?

What so you can't get an under or over hook if you opponent is wearing a Gi ?

I think that's one of Judo's greatest strengths. Overpowering an attacker without seriously hurting them.

Have you learned judo through Yoseikan budo (as it is judo-derived)?

@@MeroGrumble I think it derives more from aikido, but it’s a real mix of traditional martial arts as I said. I did learn some judo/Ju jitsu throws: basically it’s one third grappling, one third striking and one third kobudo (I found this site where they tell it’s history: blackbeltwiki.com/yoseikan-budo). You can also find videos of Yoseikan Budo training and fighting on KZfaq. I tried it nearly twenty years ago and just for one year and half, so I didn’t have much experience but definitively it was very good. 👋

@@davidecappelli9961 I have been a Yoseikan Budoka myself but I know that the focus can differ from one school to another so I was being curious. For instance, the emphasis in my club is on boxing/judo sparring, other school are more aikido-oriented, other are very fond of the "kendo" part. You are right, the founder learned aikijutsu under Ueshiba but was also a high-ranked judoka taught by Mifune, and his son brought the "striking" part & the sport competition. It led to different lineages with different approaches. Hence my question. :)

@@MeroGrumble Our group is heavy on sparring and ground fighting

First 7 seconds not 30 in street fight

Jeffrey, with all due respect, if that is the case, there's no such thing as "was" you "are" , you can't take your Dan grades away, nor your boxing achievements. You "are" a black belt in TKD and Judo and you "are"a champion boxer and as for other fundamentals you are correct, there's no such thing as the "best' fighting style or discipline, when I see that it drives me crazy. It's down to the individuals ability and every situation is different, calling for reaction in kind. I would also add to what you have said though in that "situational awareness" is also extremely important. As you know there are thousands of very proficient people in all of the arts ended up the worse off due to have been taken by surprise. When I was younger, many moons ago, I was always taught that if you can assess the opposition in time, never try to outbox a boxer, out grapple a grappler or out kick a kicker, simplistic I know, but it stuck with me and served me well, in your case though we're pretty stuffed😁, keep healthy.

@@jaymorris3468 Your point is extremely important in differentiating between a criminal who would ambush you and two guys squaring off in a bar. I work in law-enforcement as a forensics examiner. Situational awareness is crucial when being in public because criminals are not looking to test their physical prowess like an athlete. They simply want to satisfy a thirst for violence.

@@DRJUDOJEFF agreed. 👍

@@DRJUDOJEFF You are a dangerous person and you sound very mature about that, I admire you.

You don t play judo mr.

You went to the wrong BJJ school

You need to train for more than a semester to be really good at judo. My Japanese 4th Dan instructors from the Japan Overseas Volunteer Corps were strong as tree trunks. My fellow first Dan black belts (some were soldiers) could not move them much less throw them! Yet they threw us easily although two of my fellow trainees (who were brown belts and blue-collar workers) were the top kung fu students of a famous local Chinese Kungfu master. They could smash green coconuts with their knife hands but their master encouraged them to study judo too. Interestingly, they used their judo to great effect in their full contact kung-fu tournaments.

Boxing is pretty low on the scale of importance of fighting skills

@@biggieschlongs8983 Having good punches is the # 1 fighting skill to have. I think you have never sparred or fought.

You can always walk away or run away from a fight. If someone has to physically stop you from doing that, they probably have to grab you. And that's when Judo is most effective.

Thank you!!! Wow. Nova Scotia. Very cool. Hello from NY.

Yeah it is like saying “oh this is a gun, is it good for self defense?”

Totally agree.

100%. I see it asked mainly in the context of how it stacks up against other martial arts, BJJ in particular.

​@@zachb.6606BJJ is great and also horrible in self defense, unless you develop the knowledge to takedown someone and the ability to protect yourself from strikes standing up and on the ground it can be more dangerous to do bjj

Hi ....Does judo teach you- Avoidence... Situational awareness.... Pre fight indicators.... Verbal de-escalation.... Escape and evasion.... Pre- emtive strikes.... Defences against knives, sticks and hand guns..... Multiple attackers..... Angry, alcohol, drugged, mental health effected, stronger, heavier, better trained opponents with a positive mind set....... Post conflict management.... Have all the above been pressure tested not in the dojo but in real life altercations?...... Do you want to take the chance that a sport will save your life or a serious injury?

Some Judo gyms do offer like 1 hr a week of pure self defense, where all the aspects (situational awareness, etc...) are, or at least should be, covered. Nonetheless, if one wants 100% self defense, maybe Krav Maga is a better option.

@@davidecappelli9961 Hi Davide....Judo is a fantastic sport and i have trained in Judo, however most instructors, organisations and clubs etc very rarely teach the self offence aspects, people have mentioned the katas such as the Kodakan Goshin Jutsu and Kime No Kata which i have also studied but they do not offer realistic self offence...they are katas mostly studied for grading purposes, Kodakan atemi waza is very rarely taught and trained...this would require pads and striking mannequins etc and of course the correct stances to be able to punch, strike, and kick with any real stopping power! Japanese Ju-Jutsu if taught and practiced correctly is an excellent form of self offence...by this i mean that there is no sporting applications, the techniques are practiced and learnt then pressure tested against uncoperative training partners of different levels of skill, strength, weight, build etc.....this can be achieved by using MMA type gloves that allow grappling and striking, head, shin and groin guards etc....this Ju-Jutsu type randori should not be completed with any points, winners or loosers....the whole aim is to pressure test the techniques....i can speak from experience that you soon realise what works and what does not....this is why Russian combat sambo is so very effective for instance because their techniques are pressure tested and why Fedor Emelianenko is such a well rounded champion....the same with thai boxing.......yes i fully agree with you if you are training for self offence then Krav Maga would be a good option....as long as there is pressure testing in every lesson....that is sparing, milling, or randori what ever term you wish to use....however the problem with this is that some students do not want to engage in this type of training.....so if your running a class to make a living and or a profit then you need to keep the students and have more joining...again i have experience of running a club but not for a profit.....so if your aim is purely self offence then Krav Maga, Japanese Ju-Jutsu, Russian combat sambo, thai boxing or a combination of these systems would give you an advantage in a real altercation.....good luck with your training...stay safe and well, best regards, Stefano.....

You stopped doing judo now? Not a lot but there are people who started (and still..) judo or wrestling in their 40s or 50s

@@user-dw2ze1px3f They're lucky people. Problem is I got a training injury I still haven't healed from. Not from taking a bad fall, mind you. I landed perfectly. Then the guy next to me took a perfect fall, save for the fact that his heel landed on my knee with great force. In hindsight maybe that wasn't the best dojo on the planet. I'm peeved at how preventable that was, especially since it was the guy teaching that evening's class who landed on me. I tried to soldier on and keep training, but doing Judo with a limp fucking sucks. I still have a limp. It's too late to start when you're too old to bounce back from injuries like that. Which I guess is different for everyone. For me too old to start was 27.

@@rabiesbiter5681 feels bad for you man. hoping your limp goes away soon, and if you still have passion in grappling by then, can start again. not exactly judo but have you tried bjj? should be a lot friendlier than stand up grappling

Heal, rest, find a GOOD JUDO club and train, under 40 is in no way too old for good technical Judo, Kodokan style. Of course you need inteligence, know your limitations and practice all the invisible training needed to stay healty. Cheers from a 36yo active judoka and jiujiteiro from Chile.

@@rrivera85 I'm glad you're still able to do it! Take care of those load bearing joints. The people in the club I went to really seemed to feel like fucked up knees and hips are just part of the process. If you're still doing Judo in any way seriously and you're not a cripple yet, then I can accept that I was just being poorly trained. But sadly, no telling if my knee will ever be right again.

We did jumping judo rolls on concrete once we were more experienced. No throws though, but we did crouching falls practice.

I did BJJ for about 4 years before I started doing Judo because I wanted to really work on my takedown game. You'd be surprised at how well it compliments the other art, I was shocked that I was able to keep up with and beat some folks at a green belt level when I had very little/no Judo experience at the time. And my BJJ got a lot better, too! My suggestions is if you decide to do both, try not to double up if you can help it, it'll wipe you out.

Can you beat prime Mike Tyson?

Nice read that. Keep it up mate

You should do both grappling and striking, and combine both

It seems so. Grappling is always almost better for women who need to do self defense. I’m personally a big advocate of pepper spray though but it’s definitely a must to learn some kind of defense. I’m so glad you’re okay from that motorcycle mishap!

A lot of throws can be done without the gi, just translate the grips by using underhooks, neck clinches and wrist grabs

In my opinion, it is a no as a juod extremist and fanatic,judo is superior and complete than the two, better hot slams that could kill and quick effective chokes, am sleepy now,but don't even compare wrestling or bjj to judo,Judo is God supreme in grabbling

Nope. Ease into it though!

Judo focuses 80% on the feet.

Hi.....Judo throws do not require strength??.....then why do Judo competitions have weight categories......do you know of any good Judoka who do not train in some form of strenth training? If it was easy for Police officers to grapple and throw people who are fuelled with anger, alcohol, drugs, mental health issues, physcially larger and stronger with a positive mind set to fight and never give up then why are the Police issued with body armour, firearm, taser, hand cuffs, baton, incapacient spray etc....with a 24/7 shift cycle that front line operational Officers work how much time will be available to them to train how to throw and maintain that skill level.....why did the UK Police for instance change from a Aikido and Judo based self defence system (Taiho Jutsu) to a system with no throwing techniques?

Stefano Bio you had a lot of questions so let me try my best to reply. 1. I did not say they do not require strength, I said they do not rely on strength. The difference being that YES you need to condition, and YES you will need strength. However, a foot sweep for let’s say a smaller officer is much more doable then something like a double leg takedown that relies on strength. 2. weight categories (in any combat sport) are to eliminate any unfair advantage and to compete at a level of fairness. So yes size matters. I’m not implying that if you learn Judo you are going to magically beat everyone who is bigger, but I am saying if you needed to take down a bigger opponent Judo can help. 3. As far as the UK police, I am not completely familiar with how they train but, it’s likely because NO martial art has everything they need. There is no martial art that focuses on firearms, tasers, pepper spray, guns, handcuffing all in conjunction with grappling. What many police agencies across the world do is create a curriculum/ standard set of defensive tactics that can be used for all officers. So I’m not suggesting they should get rid of what they are doing and do Judo... I do however believe if one decided to train Judo in say their off time, they would have an additional skill that can be used in the field.
