I’ll always be grateful to my parents for signing me up to judo classes. I never took it seriously until I was almost raped at a ‘family’ party when I was 12 and the guy was like 150lbs+ and I was able to defend myself. Please sign yourself or your kids up.
I was a unarmed British police officer for 30 years and held a black belt at Judo from the start. My observations from real fights. 1. Throws against untrained people onto hard surfaces are devastating but very dangerous .. I broke the leg of the first man i fought and three ribs of the second .. after that I stopped using them due to the danger to the person I was arresting. 2. Strangles and chokes are your best friend .. most people have zero idea how to stop you applying them and the same around escapes .. all are very flexible and can be applied standing as well as on the ground. As a trained fighter you know when to release which is vital. 3. Boxing is useful to close the initial gap. 4. The video is good and accurate BUT you can`t learn this way you have to train for years on the mat because reality will never quite be like this it will be messy and you need maybe 20 - 30 or more techniques keyed into your brain so deeply that you can switch at the speed of subconscious thought from one to the other.
@@---tx9xx No I was a Warranted (police in the UK hold a `warrant` and work for the crown keeping the queens / kings peace although in reality we are state workers) London Police officer a `bobby` from 1983 to 2013 for 6 years a Constable 12 a Sergeant and 12 a Inspector ,,, London Police carried a 15 inch wooded Truncheon when I started and a Metal Telescopic Baton and C.S spray when I left, strictly I suppose that's not `unarmed` but its not relevant to my point as I used none of them in any confrontation in my career only using unarmed combat.
Interesting, obviously very very different from the set up in the United States or anywhere else with which I'm familiar except Japan. I'll be honest I still don't understand the terms you've written like constabl;e and warranted, and what you mean by the "queens king's peace" and that you "work for the crown" but are a state worker, i mean to me I would understand that to be the same thing. Are there any armed (firearms) police in the UK? @@steve.k4735
When I was a younger man, I am now 62, I got out of a couple of situations defending myself with Judo. Although I had studied both Karate and Tae Kwondo, my Judo training is what allowed me to get the upper hand. I am a small man (5'6", 138 lbs) but was able to handle guys larger than me. I am not an aggressive person, so my intent was always to protect myself and control the situation.
I can relate to what you said about not being an aggressive person. I thought for years that judo wouldn't help me much in a self defense situation. Now I'm seeing a lot of comments online that i was wrong on that, which I am glad to see.
That is exactly what i expext from a combat sport. Someine who attacks you is probably bigger, more violent and more aggressive. That is why he is attacking you. You need some tool to turn the situation in your favor. Judo is the best tool for such a situation..
Love it when Judo gets back to its Japanese Jujitsu/ jujutsu roots of battlefield combat rather than its olympic bouts. Remember, Judo and Bjj where never meant to become watered down sports.
I did Judo years ago and was Ikkyu before I switched to BJJ. I needed the ground skills that BJJ taught. The Judo works very good in street defense because no one expects that type of response. I think Judo is a must have Art.
No expects that type of response: i sure hope you're right. I'm kinda reluctant to be inside a person's arms like that, as opposed to being outside, like you might do I aikido, hapkido, Danza riu jujitsu, but i guess I need to get used to that idea. At least randori helps with this, doesn't it.
@@poncezabalaga5631 what's good with Judo is that it has combinations that makes any attacker lose balance and be tossed badly, just imagine foot sweeps then a seo nagi on someone who does not expect it...or a push then a tome nage...
i am a boxing coach for 15 years and there arent many martial arts i respect but as a child i did a bit of judo and i PROMISE this stuff is faffing real, its no holding back fighting all the time same as boxing, mma, proper full contact kick boxing, jiu jitsu and olympic or submission wrestling, these are all worth spending time and money at ! i found all through school my mix of boxing and judo helped me no end. THIS IS A FANTASTIC VIDEO ONE OF THE BEST IVE SEEN mr. kellison , the people watching MUST PRACTICE THIS STUFF or better still get down to a JUDO class, the atmosphere is great !
@88 14 I promise, when you crack someone's head like an egg, for getting pushy, you wont feel good about it. Well, maybe if you do BJJ you will. But not if you're a martial artist. You also wont feel so good talking to the cops, after half a dozen witnesses describe what you did, like something from a Steven Seagal movie.
Just started training judo and it would be very practical in the streets. Been doing Muay Thai for 3 years and BJJ for 6mos. Judo is certainly the most ‘brutal’ in training because you learn to break fall which you will do a lot. Even break falling on matts people get injured. I can only imagine throwing someone who doesn’t know how to break fall to the pavement none the less. Some comments are how he ‘laid the person down’ well obviously that’s his friend and he’s demoing on pavement. Having some striking background is a plus. Knowing striking and being able to add in throws is a wicked good combination.
@@ashgonza92 The best training is to just get training. Find a gym and keep showing up. Your body will adjust, just like a runner gets good at running by running, you'll adjust to the styles by doing them day in and day out. I train Muay Thai and I love it and there's really no training by yourself that you can do to simulate what you'll be doing in a gym
Having worked as a bouncer, I have been in a fair number of fights, and have seen a lot of fights. About 80% of the time, it will go to the ground( or pavement)
@mov1987 Good Lord......that could be a book. Generally speaking, watch their hands. If they are going to produce a weapon, they have to reach for it somewhere on their clothing or body.
Ive worked as a bouncer for several years & been in numerous altercations and I never went to the ground. Once I slipped to one knee because the ground was wet but other than that I never went to the ground.
The most underrated martial art also happens to be the one of the best for self defence, probably the best! Teaches you how to fall as well! Great video guys, subscribed, cheers from Australia
2:16, 3:14, 4:41 & 5:24 kudos for the "walk away" advice - a key element in deescalation & survival, and in preventing you from getting embroiled deeper into a fight that not everyone may live to regret.
Kinda, but the time to walk away is before it gets physical, as afterwards the situation will likely be dynamic and unpredictable. Will your opponent let go of you? I know many that wouldn’t if they had an ounce of consciousness. Has anyone else come into the scenario (including random people who don’t realise that you aren’t the aggressor and want to defend the ‘poor unfortunate’ that they perceive you to be attacking) since the adrenaline switched of your peripheral vision leaving you utterly unaware of anything except your opponent? Has anyone else started attacking the other people you are with? What about edged weapons? What if your throw was good? Can you do first aid-because if you throw someone in a bar fight and seriously injure them you are going to struggle to demonstrate that it was self defence as a last resort without clear evidence on cctv or witnesses-you are almost certain to be arrested and could be going to jail. This is what a ‘self defence’ video would cover.
Some great real-world tactics here - if you simply master these six or seven throws you will be able to defend yourself and escape injury 80+ percent of the time --------really a fantastic little self-defence tutorial......remember to turn that head when following through with your throws- where the head goes the body follows, and whatever is attached to the body!!! two big thumbs up!!!!
I solved almost all my kid/teen fights without throwing a punch. Yeah, getting hit sucks, but getting slammed flat or, even worse, head first into the concrete is a game finisher for most people. Judo rocks.
For a kid who never liked to fight but always seemed to get in one. Judo was what helped. Ending a fight without throwing a punch really was the best way. I would just feel bad if I punched someone but with judo I never needed to and still could defend myself If I had to
I had so many street fights in my life and what I learnt from my experience is not to mess with a Judo guy on the streets. He grabs me and that's the end
About 12 years ago a German tourist camping in Alberta with his wife & child was attacked late at night outside their camper by a man with a hatchet. Although struck by the hatchet the German who had 15 years Judo training fought back, killed the attacker and saved himself & family. Police said it was self defence and no charges were laid. A grappling style tends to create mental toughness, and maybe that more than just technique caused the Judoka to prevail.
The old style Kodokan Judo for self-defence included atemiwaza i.e. hitting the vital points of the opponent. Throws are locks are used to finish him off. Initially, when you are attacked, you need to hit him to distract, weaken him. The element of surprise and feinting is very important.
A Judoka can easily kill the attacker by throwing him onto the solid ground where his head is broken. Or a Judoka can easily lock the attacker's neck on the ground and suffocate him. In conclusion, do not underestimate the power of a Judoka or a Jiujitsuka.
Great video and the Sensei teaches each step clearly and accurately. I’ve heard since I was a kid (1968) that Judo has always been the base of all self defense techniques. I truly believe judo is really dangerous. I had both my knees injured (external part) with a harmless technique like Osotogari. I would only add that a lot of practice is compulsory to do things well, fast and automatically.
Another thing I keep thinking and was told all the time was don't stop when you roll. Momentum or Kinetic Energy is your friend. Follow through with the move and don't stop until you're on top.
Good stuff; I even picked up a few good pointers. Adding Judo to my Collegiate Wrestling (13 yrs) was important, helping me win state in High School. I knew Judo and Jujitsu were the evolution of my "rule restricted" grappling to a useful real world level. An opponent with no ground game stands no chance, period. Royce Gracie displayed the method; shooting in behind a quick jab and knee kick. Head triangle or arm bar from the guard if taken down. Viva Judo!
I worked in clubs 30 years,so used judo often and o soto was always my go to, sometimes sweeps....but in my opinion it is always better to keep face to face, turning yout back can get you in trouble....i liked standing chokes too
Great comment. I like to assume the person knows what they are doing even if most cases they don't. Giving them my back would always be a bad option even if for a second and I'm the one trying to throw.
great video. I remember in junior high i was pinched on the ground by a judo friend. I had black belts from two different MA but I never learn judo. Until today i still like judo better than BJJ
I've done Judo when i was a kid, decades after somebody attacked me in the streets. And i don't know how, but my body did that first move. I have no idea of how it happened. :o
Mark Opolo - Coty is a world class purple belt in BJJ as well as black belt in Judo. As a Jiu-Jitsu guy, I was making that comment because I think I clearly have better hair than he has.
I'm glad someone made a real world judo video i've told people for years that judo much like krav maga can provide you with weapons of opertunity such as a sweep or throw into a wall or objects. All tho i do not recommend staying on the ground for a period of time.
Really a fantastic little tutorial - probably the best self-defense video I have seen on the web yet.....most fights end up in a scrum of some sort so judo or BJJ is the best way to go and learning half a dozen techniques is quite easy and could very likely save your ass someday.......never hesitate and never show your fear...bullies feed off the sense of fear - when they see it in a kid, nine times out of ten that kid will become one of the bullies targets.....If you use one of the throws above to land him in a puddle in front of all the kids after school, you will be a hero......stand up to bullies.....you will be surprised how quickly they fold......I speak from experience....as a kid I was bullied in the first year of high school for about two months until I finally had enough and fought back and quite easily defeated the bully, much to his embarrassment,,,,,,,,he spent the next five years [ In Ontario, Canada, high school is five years , grade nine to thirteen] trying his best to be my new friend.....
VERY GOOD video! Thanks for sharing! I'm a "used to be" in a manner of speaking. 65 yo, former combat vet, former police officer, due to neck injury can't train like used too - but I'm finding it helpful to review video's such as this - seems to help keep moves in mind that I might not remember if situation happened otherwise....
Yeah man, I hate the whole "If it doesn't work against a professional MMA fighter it's fake" mentality. Especially given that most of those people haven't done either. Armchair fanboys
Everything shown in the video is 100% right! Judo works very well in the street and is extremely efficient. I used it many times in street fights and cannot thank my teachers enough for teaching me the techniques. I am 56 now and my advice to you is: practice judo, jiu-jitsu and kyokushin and this knowledge will keep you safe. ALWAYS watch for the cameras. Remember: the law is always against you. Unless you're rich.
Excellent tutorial! Getting as close as you can and as quickly as you can to the assailant is key to successfully pulling these off, as demonstrated in the video. And keep them close as it prevents them from striking and makes it easier to generate the rotational momentum required to throw. Just protect your head and go straight in the moment you see them wind up for a strike or when they grab you. As soon as someone touches you, you have free license to defend yourself, BUT be careful about doing damage (both with the throw and possible follow-up strike) as you could end up being slapped with a law suit for GBH. Yeah, the law sucks but it's there to protect everyone.
Regarding the first technique, you actually DID extend your left arm to prevent his haymaker from reaching your head, ie, you didn't fold you arm. I, personally, would say you can do either block and I personally practice both (though, to be precise, I place my arm directly on the side of my head so that the thick, fleshy part of my arm protects my head/face - don't use the hand to cover the face), and that it'll be the situation and your awareness that will determine which of the two blocks you will use. I also used this arm-on-the-head technique in the street against a druck Russian about 13 years ago, but with both arms against two fast haymakers. It worked like a charm and I was suddenly in the inside, which scared the hell out of him. Thanks for the great video. Cheers.
Im an old japanese. I have learned Judo for only a few years when I was a chlid. Judo is best. I'd like to recommend old Kurosawa's movie "SUGATA SANSHIRO". 0:25
Hands Down!!! I just found this video after watching a Gracie Combatives video and these are the most practical self-defense techniques I have seen besides GJJ methods. Sensational stuff.
This is why I looked into Aiki Jujutsu. It is literally the unification of Judo, BJJ, and empty hand strikes, knees, headbutts, elbows, and everything else before it was separated out. Granted BJJ has advanced as its own art, but Judo is it's root and you guys did an excellent job 👏
Minor ashi waza is high percentage, realistic judo for realworld application. Most untrained opponents dont require any upper body contact to neutralize. This is brawling and putting on a loud, arrogant show, to impress the spectators. This is everything you're supposed to avoid in self-defense.
@@Gieszkanne you know what you're right the last place you want to be is rolling around on the ground with a bunch of people coming at you...good point
@@sonofisrael5204 But its not just rolling on the ground. You could also throw somone and keep standing but in the moment you grab and throw someone you can get easily attacked and knocked out by others
@@Gieszkanne yeah I guess it would definitely take a combination of a couple of martial arts together to get out of a situation like that maybe some jiu-jitsu and Wing Chun mixed together LOL
Am from Cuba. Judo and Greco Roman wrestling were very popular when I was growing up there.i saw a street fight one time a judoka slam a guy in the concrete and broke his pelvis. That was it. The fight lasted in second.
I had a friend that spiked a dude's head in a bar fight .Did the same move ,to the point that the opponents head hit the pavement. Hemoraged and died. My friend got 7 year's.
Aside from honest boxing, judo seems like the best self defense art, before you critique, look up defense against multiple opponents on UA-cam boxers dominate in street fights. But my experience with judo convinced me that nobody is ready for the speed and violence of judo. People don’t think getting there wrist or shirt grab is gonna end is being tossed against the concrete. If you’ve never tried judo definitely pick it up I had no idea had light a two hundred pound person could feel but with even poor technique you can launch people, a lot of throws like o-guruma ask you to use your leg as a means to generate extra power but flipping somebody feels like bouncing a basketball on your knee if you like your friends trust the technique is going to work and don’t do anything to hard you will astonished how much proper technique makes you so much stronger. And don’t do what these guys are doing and practice without mats and even a crash pad. He really knows what he’s doing slowing the technique down and catching his partner that stuff doesn’t come naturally to white belts. You will end up throwing your friends way harder than you ever thought was possible and you learn to dail it back with practice. Definitely the funnest martial art I’ve ever tried and there’s something really cathartic about getting thrown it really snaps you out of whatever got your head or your heart out of wack. Learn how to brake fall and expect a lot of soreness the next day. It’s the physical equivalent of crashing cars for fun but it is a lot of fun.
I am a judo guy through and through. I have competed and had no success. However, I can give a want-to-be attacker a 3 day concussion. Whilst their in jail. Like boxing, judo is good for both worlds. It’s what y’all make of it. Don’t put yourself short. Even competition was not for me, defending others is what I enjoy, so practice anything y’all want. Who cares. Have fun!!
I have fought black belt judo guys in the streets and beat them all street fights are different then on the mat I also have 15 years off mma and mma cage fighting under my belt

I’ve trained boxing, kickboxing and wrestling. Decided to expand my knowledge and have begun Judo. At 45 it’s a painful but fun experience. I just love having an expanded fight skill set.
you are nice guy with the rolls. yes judo starts when you get contact with the opponent. it is great in narrow places. the great thing is that it is tactile and you can do it in total darkness. i train my students when it is not so crowded in the dojo with closed eyes and i am looking so they do not go into a wall or something. they can feel on the opponents shoulders how they move their feets and so on. and that way knowing exactly what is happening.
Apart from the last one, it was very good. Never willingly go to the ground unless you're OK to have his mates pile out of the pub and then spend ten minutes playing football with your head.
Exactly. Too many are delusional and ignore this reality. Attacks on the street happen quick and fast and involve more than one assailant too often. You have to stay on your feet. And nobody should be in an idiotic ego fight one on one period. This is when you primarily go to the ground.
My cousin was a great JUDOKA in the 90'. She went in russia for the JUDO champion ships. She was 17-18 yo (and french). She was atacked in moscou. A very beautifull girl with expensive clothes had no injuries this time. His attackers was KO. JUDO saved her life. It words
Hello! I am a judoka. I live in a country where there are many fights on the street. Whoever I fought with, I have always been a winner. Judo is better than boxing and karate, muay thai boxing and kickboxing, as well as other types of martial arts.
you can actually see when he throws him on the ground that he's very gentle with it.. imagine being in a real life scenario and slamming that guy to the ground.. if you do it fast and explosive with good angle and leverage you don't even need to continue the fight or to punch.. that's the beauty of judo , one moment your up and standing , and 1 second later you're being launched in the air and slammed in the ground and you don't even know how you got down there... if you never did judo , a slam that quick on the ground is really disorientating , and if you don't know how to fall you can even slam you head to the ground.. long story short , slam hard ,just to protect yourself , let the ground to the work , the guy on the ground will definitely think twice before engaging again I've been practicing judo for only a month and I'm a newbie , but I'm IN LOVE with it
Great video. Thank you for the teachings. I’m wondering if you could make another one for self defence in the street where you don’t go down to the floor with the attacker? Thank you
Very good, practical self-defense which is better than 90% of self-defense videos out there. The beauty is that once you're in range you can basically apply what you've been practicing in the dojo and in randori all along. If it works against resisting, trained opponents it will very likely work in the street as well. One point of criticism though: don't teach people to kick someone in the head when they're down. They could end up with brain damage or paralysis and that is a legal nightmare even if you were the one being attacked. For that same reason I'd avoid throwing people on their head in the street: you don't want to go to prison for excessive use of force or having to pay for their medical bills.
Thanks for such and awesome and well explained video. Let's hear it for the Uke (I think you said he's called JD), great break falls on the concrete! Not getting in a fight is always option number 1, walk away is great advice. Pretty sure if I threw a drunk guy in anger on the concrete it would be serious. Simple, classic throws such as o goshi, semi-nage and leg throws like soot-gari would be really effective and will have been practiced since early judo classes. Sacrifice throws, pulling guard are not a good idea if your guy has friends.
Boxing, when bareknuckle without hand protection, effects good cover fire to achieve clench range and utilize one's grappling training (Judo or Collegiate Wrestling) to hit them with the pavement (but protect their head or your going to prison for manslaughter).
Competent boxing will handle 99% of these situations. Most if those, without throwing a single punch. Its demoralizing to swing on someone like a threshing machine, in front of your boys and hit nothing but air. Your primary objective in self-defense, is to *get away* , not to 'win'. Lets say you're a 100th degree black belt, in the 50 most lethal martial arts. You go for the grapple and takedown. You slip on a carelessly discarded banana peel and split your skull on the curb. Now, wouldn't it have been a lot more satisfying to push the guy down and run away?
There is a reason the Tokyo PD who do not carry firearms and the Swiss Guard (those who protect the Pope) train primarily in Judo. This is the best example I've seen so far on UA-cam. For the (parents of) youngsters: Find a reputable local Judo dojo. Do not try these moves on hard surfaces as you may seriously injure your friend. The key to safely learning Judo is in first learning ukemi (rolling & falling). Good Luck with Judo, if you start it.
I'm a MMA guy but my dad is a judo black belt, he was junior British champ and represented Scotland and Britain for judo. I would honestly say it is one of if not the best art for self-defence it has a good posture (head up right) and if you slam someone into with a lot of the throws they will not get up. They are also easily modified to instead of throwing them on their back you throw them onto their spine. It has always seemed a good combination of being a fight finisher and not taking long to pull off. Just my opinion sorry about grammar and spelling I'm just a bit thick tbh Edit- the reason I feel it doesn't translate as well to MMA is the lack of clothing and the fact it's a canvas appose too concrete
I think if we want to see Judo in MMA then we have Kudo. Still would be amazing to see more Judo in MMA. Ronda was a good Judo fighter in mma until she changed her style to a more striking one and that ruined her.
Wasn't fully aware how intensive, extensive judo is on-street self defense fighting till watching ur video. Have friends who are practioners. Kudos for ur video. Anticipating ur next one.
As a youth, flexible and very light I trained Judo, In my tweens I trained sport karate - I learnt distance control and bad habits. In my Forties/fifties I'm into traditional karate - it's a passion you know.......... But I will say, if I spar with inexperienced karate ka, Judo from 40 years ago is a hell of a surprise to them.. they think it's easy to get in with the old little fat man, then their feet are higher than their hips...seio nage for the win... ruins their night when you get next to them.
Nimo Kali: This individual was under the influence. He swung at my face, slipped inside the assault and launched forward with my right hand creating space by off balancing him. As I proceeded to continue the assault, by grabbing the other lapel, I used the osoto gari entry to slam the back off this mans skull against steel front doors at a McDonalds restaurant. I broke the bolts that locked the doors in place with his head. Think about it, nothing flashy, no massive throw, just grab the subject by the lapel and with ruthless aggression, knock him unconscious....twice.....While holding him up! Sport is fun, however, in life and death situations, sweeps become kicks and strangles become cranks!
@@danylcooper2143 Lol thanks for sharing your story. Oh man McDonalds. Sometimes you really do find troubling people there. A guy came at me with a knife at my passenger door one time while I was in the car and luckily the doors were locked so I just drove away while he got his foot under my tire. Woops. Yeah that was something
fall back because in a street fight you're not gonna start on your knees to fight. Many BJJ sport gyms do not teach effective or consistent takedowns. Why? Because they're too focused on getting ready for the next tournament. They can just pull guard in a tournament because there is no slamming allowed. Sadly this won't fly in the street becauae that'd be the first thing someone did. Judo on the other hand is better because yes, 85% of fights go to the ground but 100% of fights start standing up. A judo player could throw the guy to the concrete and knock them out or even kill them. Then on top of that they have grappling skills on the ground too. So they control the fight from standing, to the take down, to the submission. Now with that said, I'd do judo over BJJ. But I'd do Gracie Jiu Jitsu over judo. Why? Because Gracie Jiu Jitsu (certified training cemters by the Gracie family) focuses on practical self defense jiu jitsu. They threw out shit that BJJ guys use like thw donky guard or other overly complicated shit that'd get you killed in the streets. Now BJJ guys of course will say Gracie Jiu Jitsu sucks because they can beat a Gracie guy which is partly true. A blue belt in GJJ is not as good as a BJJ blue belt will be. But once again, you're talking about Jiu Jitsu vs. Jiu Jitsu at this point. And that is what BJJ has become, BJJ vs. BJJ.
@@JDGage i tried judo once. did it for a month. total waste of money. what made it feel impractical is that i wasn't able to toss ANYONE. people are gonna resist. no one in the streets is just gonna let you toss them. while you're holding on with both fists to someone's lapels with the intent of tossing them, they're gonna be resisting and punching you in the face till you're forced to release and block for your life. pretty much what happened to ronda rousey in her very last fight against amanda nunes. that's what'll happen to anyone who tries to use judo in the streets. that's why i'm kinda like thumbs down about judo. i'd be much more confident with some wrestling moves as those seem more applicable in a street situation. yes?
You guys casually made one of the best self defense videos on the internet. Judo is for real.

I was a unarmed British police officer for 30 years and held a black belt at Judo from the start.
My observations from real fights.
1. Throws against untrained people onto hard surfaces are devastating but very dangerous .. I broke the leg of the first man i fought and three ribs of the second .. after that I stopped using them due to the danger to the person I was arresting.
2. Strangles and chokes are your best friend .. most people have zero idea how to stop you applying them and the same around escapes .. all are very flexible and can be applied standing as well as on the ground. As a trained fighter you know when to release which is vital.
3. Boxing is useful to close the initial gap.
4. The video is good and accurate BUT you can`t learn this way you have to train for years on the mat because reality will never quite be like this it will be messy and you need maybe 20 - 30 or more techniques keyed into your brain so deeply that you can switch at the speed of subconscious thought from one to the other.
So it’s effective…

I'm 5'5" 137 lbs 59y/o.
This is what I teach because it has worked for me.
That is exactly what i expext from a combat sport. Someine who attacks you is probably bigger, more violent and more aggressive. That is why he is attacking you. You need some tool to turn the situation in your favor. Judo is the best tool for such a situation..
Love it when Judo gets back to its Japanese Jujitsu/ jujutsu roots of battlefield combat rather than its olympic bouts. Remember, Judo and Bjj where never meant to become watered down sports.
so judo and kenjutsu are good combination for learning roots?

Robert Loewy but it’s true haha a woman will never look at you the same if you can’t atleast try to defend her
I did Judo years ago and was Ikkyu before I switched to BJJ. I needed the ground skills that BJJ taught. The Judo works very good in street defense because no one expects that type of response. I think Judo is a must have Art.
I advise Ne Waza
No expects that type of response: i sure hope you're right. I'm kinda reluctant to be inside a person's arms like that, as opposed to being outside, like you might do I aikido, hapkido, Danza riu jujitsu, but i guess I need to get used to that idea. At least randori helps with this, doesn't it.

@@poncezabalaga5631 what's good with Judo is that it has combinations that makes any attacker lose balance and be tossed badly, just imagine foot sweeps then a seo nagi on someone who does not expect it...or a push then a tome nage...
Hello, I think Judo techniques are practicable and explosive like a trap because of using attacker force against himself unexpectedly !
i am a boxing coach for 15 years and there arent many martial arts i respect but as a child i did a bit of judo and i PROMISE this stuff is faffing real,
its no holding back fighting all the time same as boxing, mma, proper full contact kick boxing, jiu jitsu and olympic or submission wrestling, these are all worth spending time and money at !
i found all through school my mix of boxing and judo helped me no end.
THIS IS A FANTASTIC VIDEO ONE OF THE BEST IVE SEEN mr. kellison , the people watching MUST PRACTICE THIS STUFF or better still get down to a JUDO class, the atmosphere is great !
I have seen Judo work in the streets it can end a fight in one slam,
Can end a life too, be careful
@@jesuschristislord77733 I agree
I have seen Judo work in the streets and the judo dude got his face smashed in

Absolutely. Getting hit with a planet, hurts.

I promise, when you crack someone's head like an egg, for getting pushy, you wont feel good about it. Well, maybe if you do BJJ you will. But not if you're a martial artist.
You also wont feel so good talking to the cops, after half a dozen witnesses describe what you did, like something from a Steven Seagal movie.
Just started training judo and it would be very practical in the streets. Been doing Muay Thai for 3 years and BJJ for 6mos. Judo is certainly the most ‘brutal’ in training because you learn to break fall which you will do a lot. Even break falling on matts people get injured. I can only imagine throwing someone who doesn’t know how to break fall to the pavement none the less. Some comments are how he ‘laid the person down’ well obviously that’s his friend and he’s demoing on pavement. Having some striking background is a plus. Knowing striking and being able to add in throws is a wicked good combination.
Muat Thai and judo are the two styles I want to learn. How did that work out for you? What were you doing beforehand to prep for training
@@ashgonza92 The best training is to just get training. Find a gym and keep showing up. Your body will adjust, just like a runner gets good at running by running, you'll adjust to the styles by doing them day in and day out. I train Muay Thai and I love it and there's really no training by yourself that you can do to simulate what you'll be doing in a gym
I hope you bought your mate a drink after throwing him on the street all those times 😄
Agreed he was a total star for taking all those landings on concrete with just a t shirt!
100% Dude was a soldier
Having worked as a bouncer, I have been in a fair number of fights, and have seen a lot of fights. About 80% of the time, it will go to the ground( or pavement)
@mov1987 Good Lord......that could be a book. Generally speaking, watch their hands. If they are going to produce a weapon, they have to reach for it somewhere on their clothing or body.
Same here.
But about 90% they can't fight....which is a lot of why they go to the ground.
Ive worked as a bouncer for several years & been in numerous altercations and I never went to the ground. Once I slipped to one knee because the ground was wet but other than that I never went to the ground.
Do they also start by trying to give you a hook punch?
The most underrated martial art also happens to be the one of the best for self defence, probably the best! Teaches you how to fall as well! Great video guys, subscribed, cheers from Australia
I successfully used it to defend myself against two attackers on Friday
2:16, 3:14, 4:41 & 5:24 kudos for the "walk away" advice - a key element in deescalation & survival, and in preventing you from getting embroiled deeper into a fight that not everyone may live to regret.
Kinda, but the time to walk away is before it gets physical, as afterwards the situation will likely be dynamic and unpredictable. Will your opponent let go of you? I know many that wouldn’t if they had an ounce of consciousness. Has anyone else come into the scenario (including random people who don’t realise that you aren’t the aggressor and want to defend the ‘poor unfortunate’ that they perceive you to be attacking) since the adrenaline switched of your peripheral vision leaving you utterly unaware of anything except your opponent? Has anyone else started attacking the other people you are with? What about edged weapons? What if your throw was good? Can you do first aid-because if you throw someone in a bar fight and seriously injure them you are going to struggle to demonstrate that it was self defence as a last resort without clear evidence on cctv or witnesses-you are almost certain to be arrested and could be going to jail. This is what a ‘self defence’ video would cover.
Some great real-world tactics here - if you simply master these six or seven throws you will be able to defend yourself and escape injury 80+ percent of the time --------really a fantastic little self-defence tutorial......remember to turn that head when following through with your throws- where the head goes the body follows, and whatever is attached to the body!!! two big thumbs up!!!!
I solved almost all my kid/teen fights without throwing a punch. Yeah, getting hit sucks, but getting slammed flat or, even worse, head first into the concrete is a game finisher for most people.
Judo rocks.
Yeah if you can take the hits which will inevitably come from coming that close, judo is a great way to put someone else out of the fight.
For a kid who never liked to fight but always seemed to get in one. Judo was what helped. Ending a fight without throwing a punch really was the best way. I would just feel bad if I punched someone but with judo I never needed to and still could defend myself If I had to
Boxing+Judo= marriage made for the streets.
and muay thai and judo, muay thai teaches clinch which would be really good to combine with judo in street
Yeet+bonk
Strike and Grapple very good defence/offence combo

@@Sir_Isaac_Newton_ So basically you just described Combat Sambo. Combat Sambo is Judo/Russian Folk Wrestling, Kickboxing and Weapons fighting.
I had so many street fights in my life and what I learnt from my experience is not to mess with a Judo guy on the streets. He grabs me and that's the end
You started them??
About 12 years ago a German tourist camping in Alberta with his wife & child was attacked late at night outside their camper by a man with a hatchet. Although struck by the hatchet the German who had 15 years Judo training fought back, killed the attacker and saved himself & family. Police said it was self defence and no charges were laid. A grappling style tends to create mental toughness, and maybe that more than just technique caused the Judoka to prevail.
The old style Kodokan Judo for self-defence included atemiwaza i.e. hitting the vital points of the opponent. Throws are locks are used to finish him off. Initially, when you are attacked, you need to hit him to distract, weaken him. The element of surprise and feinting is very important.
The same with Aikido
What an absolute meme
A Judoka can easily kill the attacker by throwing him onto the solid ground where his head is broken. Or a Judoka can easily lock the attacker's neck on the ground and suffocate him. In conclusion, do not underestimate the power of a Judoka or a Jiujitsuka.
Great video and the Sensei teaches each step clearly and accurately. I’ve heard since I was a kid (1968) that Judo has always been the base of all self defense techniques. I truly believe judo is really dangerous. I had both my knees injured (external part) with a harmless technique like Osotogari. I would only add that a lot of practice is compulsory to do things well, fast and automatically.
Another thing I keep thinking and was told all the time was don't stop when you roll. Momentum or Kinetic Energy is your friend. Follow through with the move and don't stop until you're on top.
but your opponent can also turn on the ground and pull you down . Overcommitting is also another mistake. You have to find the middle ground.
Good stuff; I even picked up a few good pointers. Adding Judo to my Collegiate Wrestling (13 yrs) was important, helping me win state in High School. I knew Judo and Jujitsu were the evolution of my "rule restricted" grappling to a useful real world level. An opponent with no ground game stands no chance, period. Royce Gracie displayed the method; shooting in behind a quick jab and knee kick. Head triangle or arm bar from the guard if taken down. Viva Judo!
I worked in clubs 30 years,so used judo often and o soto was always my go to, sometimes sweeps....but in my opinion it is always better to keep face to face, turning yout back can get you in trouble....i liked standing chokes too
Great comment. I like to assume the person knows what they are doing even if most cases they don't. Giving them my back would always be a bad option even if for a second and I'm the one trying to throw.
great video. I remember in junior high i was pinched on the ground by a judo friend. I had black belts from two different MA but I never learn judo. Until today i still like judo better than BJJ
Judo is practical in street fights. It is hard to attack with Judo, but once Judokas can grab the opponent, a very bad end comes with him right away.
I've done Judo when i was a kid, decades after somebody attacked me in the streets.
And i don't know how, but my body did that first move.
I have no idea of how it happened.

Good lord. FINALLY a practical self-defense video, I'd expect as much of you're training with the Aperture team. Awesome judo man.
Really a fantastic little tutorial - probably the best self-defense video I have seen on the web yet.....most fights end up in a scrum of some sort so judo or BJJ is the best way to go and learning half a dozen techniques is quite easy and could very likely save your ass someday.......never hesitate and never show your fear...bullies feed off the sense of fear - when they see it in a kid, nine times out of ten that kid will become one of the bullies targets.....If you use one of the throws above to land him in a puddle in front of all the kids after school, you will be a hero......stand up to bullies.....you will be surprised how quickly they fold......I speak from experience....as a kid I was bullied in the first year of high school for about two months until I finally had enough and fought back and quite easily defeated the bully, much to his embarrassment,,,,,,,,he spent the next five years [ In Ontario, Canada, high school is five years , grade nine to thirteen] trying his best to be my new friend.....
You're a good teacher. Not just in the techniques you demonstrate but your pithy comments make the instruction fun and playful.
VERY GOOD video! Thanks for sharing! I'm a "used to be" in a manner of speaking. 65 yo, former combat vet, former police officer, due to neck injury can't train like used too - but I'm finding it helpful to review video's such as this - seems to help keep moves in mind that I might not remember if situation happened otherwise....
Much thanks to your scrappy looking friend for taking some throws to the hard street ground so we can learn something. Next beer is on me.
I love how all of this is explained. Good job, straight to the point.
Wow!! Excellent.
Yeah man, I hate the whole "If it doesn't work against a professional MMA fighter it's fake" mentality.
Especially given that most of those people haven't done either. Armchair fanboys
Judo's not a good martial art..... It doesn't even teach the side kick!!!!!
@@mr.everwind5225 that's the point ya dimwit. You'll be on the ground before you get to kicking
Mma is a sport. It should not be confused with street violence.
Not only effective but Judo is fun!!
Everything shown in the video is 100% right!
Judo works very well in the street and is extremely efficient.
I used it many times in street fights and cannot thank my teachers enough for teaching me the techniques.
I am 56 now and my advice to you is: practice judo, jiu-jitsu and kyokushin and this knowledge will keep you safe.
ALWAYS watch for the cameras.
Remember: the law is always against you.
Unless you're rich.
Excellent tutorial! Getting as close as you can and as quickly as you can to the assailant is key to successfully pulling these off, as demonstrated in the video. And keep them close as it prevents them from striking and makes it easier to generate the rotational momentum required to throw. Just protect your head and go straight in the moment you see them wind up for a strike or when they grab you. As soon as someone touches you, you have free license to defend yourself, BUT be careful about doing damage (both with the throw and possible follow-up strike) as you could end up being slapped with a law suit for GBH. Yeah, the law sucks but it's there to protect everyone.
Striking is good but when you can make a projection, the result is a huge difference.
Regarding the first technique, you actually DID extend your left arm to prevent his haymaker from reaching your head, ie, you didn't fold you arm. I, personally, would say you can do either block and I personally practice both (though, to be precise, I place my arm directly on the side of my head so that the thick, fleshy part of my arm protects my head/face - don't use the hand to cover the face), and that it'll be the situation and your awareness that will determine which of the two blocks you will use. I also used this arm-on-the-head technique in the street against a druck Russian about 13 years ago, but with both arms against two fast haymakers. It worked like a charm and I was suddenly in the inside, which scared the hell out of him. Thanks for the great video. Cheers.
My face doesn’t even hit the concrete and I wake up sad anyway.
Awesome technique and funny comments 🤣 thank you
Thanks so much! We’ll keep these coming 🙌🙏
“He knows he messed up” 😂 It’s the truth tho. If somebody through me full force like that I’d take the loss

Te felicito muy buena aplicación practica en situaciones reales., Saludos desde Argentina.Thank you !
Hands Down!!! I just found this video after watching a Gracie Combatives video and these are the most practical self-defense techniques I have seen besides GJJ methods. Sensational stuff.
Little known fact - the Gracias trained judo which is where they get all their shit.
This is why I looked into Aiki Jujutsu. It is literally the unification of Judo, BJJ, and empty hand strikes, knees, headbutts, elbows, and everything else before it was separated out. Granted BJJ has advanced as its own art, but Judo is it's root and you guys did an excellent job 👏
This is great. Thanks for sharing high percentage and realistic judo for real-world defense. much appreciated!
Minor ashi waza is high percentage, realistic judo for realworld application. Most untrained opponents dont require any upper body contact to neutralize. This is brawling and putting on a loud, arrogant show, to impress the spectators. This is everything you're supposed to avoid in self-defense.
I have always said Judo is the best discipline to know in a street fighting that's a lot of damage and definitely can end a fight quick
the best the best bla bla... there is no best...
Not with multiple attackers
@@Gieszkanne you know what you're right the last place you want to be is rolling around on the ground with a bunch of people coming at you...good point
@@sonofisrael5204 But its not just rolling on the ground. You could also throw somone and keep standing but in the moment you grab and throw someone you can get easily attacked and knocked out by others
@@Gieszkanne yeah I guess it would definitely take a combination of a couple of martial arts together to get out of a situation like that maybe some jiu-jitsu and Wing Chun mixed together LOL

Am from Cuba. Judo and Greco Roman wrestling were very popular when I was growing up there.i saw a street fight one time a judoka slam a guy in the concrete and broke his pelvis. That was it. The fight lasted in second.
My hero Coty. Great combo with boxing
3:30 I wouldn't advise spiking an "enemies" head into the ground in MOST cases you'll catch a manslaughter or attempted murder charge for sure
( "enemies" ) as in they aren't?
I had a friend that spiked a dude's head in a bar fight .Did the same move ,to the point that the opponents head hit the pavement. Hemoraged and died. My friend got 7 year's.
Thanks Budo Brothers.I am taking quite a liking to the wheelchair.
Aside from honest boxing, judo seems like the best self defense art, before you critique, look up defense against multiple opponents on UA-cam boxers dominate in street fights. But my experience with judo convinced me that nobody is ready for the speed and violence of judo. People don’t think getting there wrist or shirt grab is gonna end is being tossed against the concrete. If you’ve never tried judo definitely pick it up I had no idea had light a two hundred pound person could feel but with even poor technique you can launch people, a lot of throws like o-guruma ask you to use your leg as a means to generate extra power but flipping somebody feels like bouncing a basketball on your knee if you like your friends trust the technique is going to work and don’t do anything to hard you will astonished how much proper technique makes you so much stronger. And don’t do what these guys are doing and practice without mats and even a crash pad. He really knows what he’s doing slowing the technique down and catching his partner that stuff doesn’t come naturally to white belts. You will end up throwing your friends way harder than you ever thought was possible and you learn to dail it back with practice. Definitely the funnest martial art I’ve ever tried and there’s something really cathartic about getting thrown it really snaps you out of whatever got your head or your heart out of wack. Learn how to brake fall and expect a lot of soreness the next day. It’s the physical equivalent of crashing cars for fun but it is a lot of fun.
Boxing only works on someone's trying to punch you. Boxer are easily taken to the ground and they have no idea what to do there.
I am a judo guy through and through. I have competed and had no success. However, I can give a want-to-be attacker a 3 day concussion. Whilst their in jail. Like boxing, judo is good for both worlds. It’s what y’all make of it.
Don’t put yourself short. Even competition was not for me, defending others is what I enjoy, so practice anything y’all want. Who cares.
Have fun!!
shuai chiao is better for throws than judo.
I have fought black belt judo guys in the streets and beat them all street fights are different then on the mat I also have 15 years off mma and mma cage fighting under my belt

Thanks for taking it to the streets and not the library!
I’ve trained boxing, kickboxing and wrestling. Decided to expand my knowledge and have begun Judo.
At 45 it’s a painful but fun experience. I just love having an expanded fight skill set.
“Say thank you sir” hahaha
you are nice guy with the rolls. yes judo starts when you get contact with the opponent. it is great in narrow places. the great thing is that it is tactile and you can do it in total darkness. i train my students when it is not so crowded in the dojo with closed eyes and i am looking so they do not go into a wall or something. they can feel on the opponents shoulders how they move their feets and so on. and that way knowing exactly what is happening.
Yeah my coach does the same thing for bjj
Apart from the last one, it was very good. Never willingly go to the ground unless you're OK to have his mates pile out of the pub and then spend ten minutes playing football with your head.
Exactly. Too many are delusional and ignore this reality.
Attacks on the street happen quick and fast and involve more than one assailant too often. You have to stay on your feet.
And nobody should be in an idiotic ego fight one on one period. This is when you primarily go to the ground.
Good stuff guys. Keep showing that Judo for street defense, one good throw can end the fight in the street
That BJ Penn comment at the end hasn't aged well...
In all seriousness, great video!
My cousin was a great JUDOKA in the 90'. She went in russia for the JUDO champion ships. She was 17-18 yo (and french). She was atacked in moscou.

shuai chiao and traditional kung fu are better then judo
@Joey Diazgo to china and challenge them))
Haha why not.
I doubt judo can beat the original from china
Анатолий Богуш well what is the move when he turns over the wrestling move?
you can actually see when he throws him on the ground that he's very gentle with it.. imagine being in a real life scenario and slamming that guy to the ground.. if you do it fast and explosive with good angle and leverage you don't even need to continue the fight or to punch.. that's the beauty of judo , one moment your up and standing , and 1 second later you're being launched in the air and slammed in the ground and you don't even know how you got down there...
if you never did judo , a slam that quick on the ground is really disorientating , and if you don't know how to fall you can even slam you head to the ground..
long story short , slam hard ,just to protect yourself , let the ground to the work , the guy on the ground will definitely think twice before engaging again
I've been practicing judo for only a month and I'm a newbie , but I'm IN LOVE with it
Great video. Thank you for the teachings. I’m wondering if you could make another one for self defence in the street where you don’t go down to the floor with the attacker? Thank you
"He's gonna home with my girlfriend. I'm gonna wake up sad..." Hilarious!!🤣🤣 but true! 🤣🤣🤣
The Bud Light punch, the Heineken haymaker, the Jager bomb power bomb.
Very good, practical self-defense which is better than 90% of self-defense videos out there. The beauty is that once you're in range you can basically apply what you've been practicing in the dojo and in randori all along. If it works against resisting, trained opponents it will very likely work in the street as well. One point of criticism though: don't teach people to kick someone in the head when they're down. They could end up with brain damage or paralysis and that is a legal nightmare even if you were the one being attacked. For that same reason I'd avoid throwing people on their head in the street: you don't want to go to prison for excessive use of force or having to pay for their medical bills.
Thanks for such and awesome and well explained video. Let's hear it for the Uke (I think you said he's called JD), great break falls on the concrete! Not getting in a fight is always option number 1, walk away is great advice. Pretty sure if I threw a drunk guy in anger on the concrete it would be serious. Simple, classic throws such as o goshi, semi-nage and leg throws like soot-gari would be really effective and will have been practiced since early judo classes. Sacrifice throws, pulling guard are not a good idea if your guy has friends.
Very good technique. Practical straight to the point self defense.
In a streetfight, you will never know which martial art is more effective, because when you dont have any rules, you just do whatever you can to win.
1:18 Kubi nage
2:21 Kubi nage variation with a leg reap
3:44 Koshi guruma
4:45 Hikikomi gaeshi
5:26 Soto makikomi
Boxing, when bareknuckle without hand protection, effects good cover fire to achieve clench range and utilize one's grappling training (Judo or Collegiate Wrestling) to hit them with the pavement (but protect their head or your going to prison for manslaughter).
An Drew I agree. Having skills in multiple techniques beats guys calling each other names and saying the other guys martial art is useless
Competent boxing will handle 99% of these situations. Most if those, without throwing a single punch. Its demoralizing to swing on someone like a threshing machine, in front of your boys and hit nothing but air.
Your primary objective in self-defense, is to *get away* , not to 'win'. Lets say you're a 100th degree black belt, in the 50 most lethal martial arts. You go for the grapple and takedown. You slip on a carelessly discarded banana peel and split your skull on the curb. Now, wouldn't it have been a lot more satisfying to push the guy down and run away?
Boxers are easily taken to the ground and boy are they lost there.
Thank you. Good to know would be hard to remember In the Heat of the Moment
@@k9m42 you just proved exactly what the first guy said lmao
There is a reason the Tokyo PD who do not carry firearms and the Swiss Guard (those who protect the Pope) train primarily in Judo. This is the best example I've seen so far on UA-cam. For the (parents of) youngsters: Find a reputable local Judo dojo. Do not try these moves on hard surfaces as you may seriously injure your friend. The key to safely learning Judo is in first learning ukemi (rolling & falling). Good Luck with Judo, if you start it.
I'm a MMA guy but my dad is a judo black belt, he was junior British champ and represented Scotland and Britain for judo. I would honestly say it is one of if not the best art for self-defence it has a good posture (head up right) and if you slam someone into with a lot of the throws they will not get up. They are also easily modified to instead of throwing them on their back you throw them onto their spine. It has always seemed a good combination of being a fight finisher and not taking long to pull off. Just my opinion sorry about grammar and spelling I'm just a bit thick tbh
Edit- the reason I feel it doesn't translate as well to MMA is the lack of clothing and the fact it's a canvas appose too concrete
I think if we want to see Judo in MMA then we have Kudo. Still would be amazing to see more Judo in MMA. Ronda was a good Judo fighter in mma until she changed her style to a more striking one and that ruined her.
Thank you see very powerful techqnics
I Love how useful judo and jiu jitsu are...
Bear in mind.. when you throw a guy to the floor (not faking) he'll be gettin a great pain.
Wasn't fully aware how intensive, extensive judo is on-street self defense fighting till watching ur video. Have friends who are practioners. Kudos for ur video. Anticipating

Started judo at 8 years old studied in Canada and Japan. Muscle memory is deadly.
Excellent job 👏👍👌 very good teacher
As a youth, flexible and very light I trained Judo,
In my tweens I trained sport karate - I learnt distance control and bad habits.
In my Forties/fifties I'm into traditional karate - it's a passion you know..........
But I will say, if I spar with inexperienced karate ka, Judo from 40 years ago is a hell of a surprise to them.. they think it's easy to get in with the old little fat man,
then their feet are higher than their hips...seio nage for the win...
ruins their night when you get next to them.
*****Judo to Jujitsu******
Thats my schools motto.
Great Video martial arts also saved me from getting into fights.
street judo is no joke. the concrete is deadly
I love these techniques. Learn and turn yourself into a real life batman. 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Be careful when using Judo on the street,you can easily go to jail
Yes just as long as you use the necessary amount of force to defend yourself or others, including deadly force, if necessary
I’ve used Judo. If used correctly, it’s effective. I still have the police report from when I used Judo.
@@danylcooper2143 Lol what's the story and what technique did you use
Nimo Kali:
This individual was under the influence. He swung at my face, slipped inside the assault and launched forward with my right hand creating space by off balancing him.
As I proceeded to continue the assault, by grabbing the other lapel, I used the osoto gari entry to slam the back off this mans skull against steel front doors at a McDonalds restaurant.
I broke the bolts that locked the doors in place with his head. Think about it, nothing flashy, no massive throw, just grab the subject by the lapel and with ruthless aggression, knock him unconscious....twice.....While holding him up!
Sport is fun, however, in life and death situations, sweeps become kicks and strangles become cranks!
@@danylcooper2143 Lol thanks for sharing your story. Oh man McDonalds. Sometimes you really do find troubling people there. A guy came at me with a knife at my passenger door one time while I was in the car and luckily the doors were locked so I just drove away while he got his foot under my tire. Woops. Yeah that was something
Thank you for the great video and the advice at the end 👍
I'd do judo over sport jiu jitsu for self defense any day.
any reason in particular? especially when bjj really DOES appear to be more practical AND has a noticably shorter learning curve
fall back just do bjj but focus on stand up
@@tOOballs why bjj over judo?
fall back because in a street fight you're not gonna start on your knees to fight. Many BJJ sport gyms do not teach effective or consistent takedowns. Why? Because they're too focused on getting ready for the next tournament. They can just pull guard in a tournament because there is no slamming allowed. Sadly this won't fly in the street becauae that'd be the first thing someone did.
Judo on the other hand is better because yes, 85% of fights go to the ground but 100% of fights start standing up. A judo player could throw the guy to the concrete and knock them out or even kill them. Then on top of that they have grappling skills on the ground too. So they control the fight from standing, to the take down, to the submission.
Now with that said, I'd do judo over BJJ. But I'd do Gracie Jiu Jitsu over judo. Why? Because Gracie Jiu Jitsu (certified training cemters by the Gracie family) focuses on practical self defense jiu jitsu. They threw out shit that BJJ guys use like thw donky guard or other overly complicated shit that'd get you killed in the streets.
Now BJJ guys of course will say Gracie Jiu Jitsu sucks because they can beat a Gracie guy which is partly true. A blue belt in GJJ is not as good as a BJJ blue belt will be. But once again, you're talking about Jiu Jitsu vs. Jiu Jitsu at this point. And that is what BJJ has become, BJJ vs. BJJ.
@@JDGage i tried judo once. did it for a month. total waste of money. what made it feel impractical is that i wasn't able to toss ANYONE. people are gonna resist. no one in the streets is just gonna let you toss them. while you're holding on with both fists to someone's lapels with the intent of tossing them, they're gonna be resisting and punching you in the face till you're forced to release and block for your life. pretty much what happened to ronda rousey in her very last fight against amanda nunes. that's what'll happen to anyone who tries to use judo in the streets. that's why i'm kinda like thumbs down about judo. i'd be much more confident with some wrestling moves as those seem more applicable in a street situation. yes?
This guy has the right technique for using this in real life. It's exactly as I was taught when I learned it from a teacher who grew up in Okinawa.
Looks like John Wick's fighting style.. Cool..
That's because it is! Keanu did extensive training in all kinds of martial arts for the films. One of them being Judo!
This is good stuff, man. All the scenarios are common and real.
Cops need to learn this like their life depends on it. Especially in the US of the A and Canada's Hastings shuffle city
Great video, I love the commentary
