How to you find a club? When I was in big city this was easy because of all the 30's aged millennials but in my smaller town no most of the websites are either inactive or very unclear about how members and their ages

I remember my current club didn’t even had pricing, just a location and times and I rocked up and asked everyone nearby «are you with the judo thing?» until someone said yes.

It’s not the fulcrum of your throw though, the hip is. Harai Goshi is better for short people for that reason. All you’re doing with your leg in harai goshi is stopping your opponent from being able to circle around your hip and avoid the throw.

Uchi mata on the other hand is good for tall people because you use your leg itself to lift the opponent.

>Uchi mata on the other hand is good for tall people because you use your leg itself to lift the opponent
I wish I could do it. I don't get what I'm doing wrong but I can maybe move people an inch with my leg. And just the lighter ones, I can't lift people around my own weight class (90kg) at all. Olympic judokas make Uchi mata look so easy and effective but when I try it irl it's like trying to lift a tree with your leg. It doesn't help that the textbook version of Uchi mata they teach you is awkward and very different from the real thing, so you're basically left to learn it on your own. Are you supposed to be super strong to pull the throw or something? Because I'm not.

I am also a short person who has had problems with uchi mata in the past. It really is all about positioning. If you don’t have the extra leg length to assist you your positioning has to be perfect. One really good tip I was given was to aim for the leg you’re not trying to lift. It will put you in a good position to lift the leg you’re supposed to.

I don't think you need to compete but you should be in a MMA gym or a gym that cross-trains between the styles where you can develop the habits of changing up your mindset when your at the range for striking versus grappling. We had that problem in my gym where only like 4-6 people were doing judo but were staying after for the kickboxing class which was attended by twice as many people. The coach was letting us spar with our full kits and the KB students objected to getting tripped/thrown, so the rules posted on the wall were updated to disallow takedowns. One problem with this is that the judo students choosing to stay for KB practice are letting themselves get in way too close instead of maintaining optimal range.

You can definitely still throw someone that way without blocking their foot, however you would be preforming uki otoshi rather than tai otoshi.
https://youtu.be/6H5tmncOY4Q

Generally speaking though, Uki otoshi is rarely seen because your positioning and kuzushi have to be absolutely perfect in order to do the throw without recovering their balance, thus making it far more difficult. Blocking the foot in tai otoshi functions basically the same way it does in harai goshi or harai makikomi, it stops your opponent from being able to recover balance.

Try to learn the Japanese vocabulary for the techniques. It's a lot easier to get a feel for where you want uke to move and how you're supposed to position yourself when you know things like tai otoshi meaning "body drop." I was doing it all wrong until I looked up the translation.

See that "snap?" He's sort of doing a no-gi forward kuzushi and springing into a shove instead of going for a throw. Most of the time he's yanking down on their necks to make their head move.

It's a simple pull-push pendulum effect when you break it down

>tori pulls hard at uke's neck/base of the skull (like a wrestler's snapdown)
>uke tries to regain balance and correcting posture
>tori exploits uke's reaction by pushing them

theres nothing cheap about one handed throws. those are legit throws you can actually use in a real fight. i consider cheap techniques to be techniques that are effective in competitions where there's mats but would be risky inna real fight
(i.e., drop down seoi, guard pulling, flying triangle/armbar, leg locks and ashigarami, shooting with knee drop penetration step)
its part if the reason im practicing more stand up seoi that travis steven does because while drop seoi is really easy to pull off i dont actually want to rely on it in self defense situations where my knees will be shattered by concrete.

depends on how hard you go. the more intensity you put to it the more injuries you get just by shit chance, but you'll have way more fun and there is a level of intensity that you need to experience a couple times to actually get good at fighting and judo.
if youre just doing it for fun and is concerned about injuries, you can go slow, but you'll improve much more slowly. you can get good going slow, and that's how alot of pros train, but pros also go max intensity occasionally to pressure test properly.

there are risks evem for hobbying, knees and ankles can get strained and sprained if you spar hard constantly. if you fall really badly there's concussion risks, but they tend to be fairly rare if you don't go competition level intensity. but overall, if youre worried about injuries you need to practice breakfalls and strengthen your body by weightlifting; the more lean muscle mass you have the more sturdy your body will be.

Best thing you can do for yourself in training is not being afraid to take the fall. Even people who practice their breakfalls a lot can still get fucked up if they try to fight a fall at the wrong time. I watched a black belt dislocate his elbow trying to cartwheel out of a fall at a fucking mock tournament. To what end would someone do this? I have no idea becauseEven if it was a real tournament there’s no medal worth taking a grievous injury for and in all likelihood you’re not going to win if you get fucked up first.

You need to collapse whatever arm they’re using to stiff arm you. One thing you can try is to take the same side grip underneath their arm and from that position use your arm to raise theirs upwards. Once you misaligned their shoulder and arm they will have significantly less strength to push you away and you can get in close and take a more comfortable grip. Additionally, instead of trying to “negate” their pulls try to flow with them. Remember the basics, they push you pull, they pull you push.

this is some of the strategies i personally found as a relatively inexperienced 5'6 180 lbs stocky manlet going against some of the 6'4 200-220 lbs monsters.
1. get stronger and heavier
2. beat them to grips. taller people often have predictable gripping pattern. they'll have an easier time getting the back collar dominant grip, so anticipate it and get their sleeves, then go for sode.
3. learn close contact judo. treat your judo like youre wrestling with body locks and shit. get real close, with belt grips and back grips, learn to do ura nage, kosoto, tani otoshi, and look up lateral drops from sambo. the fact that your hips are often way below their hips helps you with throws throws if you are closer. this is by far the strategy i use most.

Well. Your kick leg that lifts the opponent needs to feelfind the center of mass in the opponent. The series of events s are fluid. You're gonna kick up to lift with the lift leg finding center of mass in the opponent, simultaneously when you feel their weight you're going to throw them forward with your upper body while lifting your leg. The weight difference of the opponents center of mass moves off center LOWERS the weight the lifting leg is pulling and since you've got pressure on it hard already, the acceleration of the opponents body lifts and spins like a cartwheel at the center of mass. Study the photos. Timing is everything.

i disagree, as john danaher said, sparring against lower level guys are actually great for improving but you have to do it properly. sparring lower level fighters is where you can relax and explore new things because youre not scared and tense like going up against some black belt. randori against higher level belts on the other hand is good for pressure testing once you figure out the basics of pulling a move in randori

this is actually something that i find out about myself. if I'm getting frustrated because im not getting throws, i start regressing back to my bread and butter of standing seoi nage, drop down seoi, osoto gari, and tani otoshi. thats great for winning and practicing my seoi nages, but if i want to get better at uchimatas its better to go against someone who is worse, to do it imperfectly in randori but at least experience what it requires to pull off an uchimata in randori

lower belts are also great for practicing escapes from bad or defensive positions; ive been practicing scissor sweeps to get a better guard game. if my sweep doesnt work against white belts, then its much easier to find out what i did wrong and fix it. however, if my sweep doesnt work against a black belt, theres too many things to consider and i dont know what i need to fix.

I agree. You won't develop confidence in your attacks if you're running up against a brick wall of black belts every class. I didn't break through and start hitting big throws until I started exclusively mopping up novices for a month or two. Not brand new white belts, maybe 1 or 2 ranks up is enough

I think this mainly works because of the bohk ruleset, if anything but your feet touch the ground you’re out, so to resist losing by being snapped down they offer exaggerate the reaction that usually comes with it. Like how in wrestling if you get snapped pretty hard you can just touch the ground or if you get snapped you don’t lose so no immediate consequence

Here is a reply to myself since I just tried uki otoshi during randori. First of all, it's pretty hard on the knees. I didn't have this problem during kata, but if you do it during randori you go down with more speed and power which sucks for the knees.

The first time I tried it my opponent didn't expect it and I got him to stumble but not fall. Second and third time it kind of did work but it wasn't really ippon worthy and I wasn't in a position to take advantage of him being down. I also think he was being a bit more cooperative since I explained what I tried to do the second time which got him interested.

The problem is mostly getting your opponent into a position where he is off balance by leaning forward, here is what I tried:
>Start with standard right hand grip
>Open up with ko uchi gari which he dodges by stepping back
>Push him to get a reaction making him push back <- this part didn't go as expected since he preferred circling to pushing back
>Do uki otoshi

Pros:
>Your opponent has no idea what is happening.
>You look extremely cool if you can pull this off while making it look effortless.
Cons:
>Easily blocked
>You'll be open to a counter attack

No idea really, as I don't really pay attention to the belt. I only practice casually because I started as a kid and kept at it. But to answer your question based on that BJJ guy I know I'd say your ground game is good enough and can reach brown belt level throws within a year if you really put your mind to it and trained multiple times a week. Besides that it kind of depends on the teacher, because they have to let you take the exams and most seem to take the amount of time you have been practicing into account.

Also where I am from pretty much every judo place is signed up with the national federation. It is up to your teachers discretion to get you any belts up to brown, but for black belts you have to do a formal exam with the national federation. To sign up for the black belt examination here you need to have the brown belt for at least a year and your teachers signature saying that you are ready for it.

So all in all, I'd say best case is 2 years.

I guess I can answer that since I am a BJJ brown belt and started judo in May of 2022, and dragged a few of my BJJ students with me since then. Basically because all my takedowns were nogi/wrestling takedowns (all my BJJ coaches view guard pulling as the ultimate evil) and I thought it'd be fun to learn a different style.

I'm a green belt at the moment and have done two kyu-grade tournaments and won both, but my first one I won almost exclusively with tani-otoshi as a counter which is similar to one of my best wrestling takedowns anyway. My second tournament I'm more happy with since I initiated every takedown and used foot sweeps and chained takedowns to win, rather than just waiting for the counter. Had a brown belt in my division who got his black belt a month after as well. I've only used Osaekomi in one match since I'm doing judo to test my gi takedowns and it's not much of a test if I just default to where I know I'm better.

At the rate I'm going though, I'm probably getting my Judo black belt before I get my BJJ black belt.

Is dropping down to the knee acceptable, or should I learn how to do it the "proper" way? I'm really worried about snapping my knee or toes when I've practiced the standard version of the throw, which is why I've never really used it.

Apparently a drop tai-otoshi looks way different, so to reiterate: I did the basic entry, but instead of propping my knee up I put my knee down to the mat.
It felt a lot safer because I don't have to worry about accidentally leaving my knee pointed at an awkward angle and hurting myself or uke.

>Story time
You sure you're replying to me? I'm just a massive noob. Who is rather enthusiastic about Judo but im only on my second class now. I'll have my third soon. I fucked up all my life as a young adult. I failed my entrance exams 4 times (literally landing me in retard level. I have classmates from school who got in way quicker and they were morons). I'm 8 kg overweight (used to be 15) with no muscle. I felt like I was literally worthless but now things are changing. I see myself in a whole other light. I got my head out of the water now. Now it's time to swim until I find land. And I got judo to thank for that. It's one of the few things I have to look up in life now. Every day that passes I become a little bit better and a little bit stronger.

Good to hear that judo is helping you though. I think judo is quite good for developing some self-confidence and to get back up when your down.

not him but since you asked. I'm 33 and started Judo late august last year though I've only done 15 sessions as I managed to get ill not once, not twice, but thrice between october and december. I'm enjoying it but it is a "secondary hobby" - gym comes first not least because I go pretty much whenever im not working with no timetable to abide by. I feel like I've made progress, but until I enter the grading system its hard to quantify. Whilst I mostly chose judo for logistical reasons I did think the throwing looked cool and the "standing" element more practical. However, newaza is my favourite. Probably because its slower and I have time to think about what I'm doing. My one beef is that whilst I totally get that judo is a olympic sport so start em young, I am with the exception of a guy in his late 40s/50s, the only adult there. Rest are 16-18 and about 20kgs lighter then me (I'm 82ish, bulking). I see BJJ clubs social media and it seems to be more guys my age and weight. To what extent is this an issue? At this point in time I'm just happy learning stuff but if I was to make this a bigger part of my life I'd like to be sparring with people roughly my size..weight class sport after all. FWIW I've seen this discussed before so this is very roughly what a class looks like. I don't know all the terms sorry.

Wow I have a totally different experience, where I’m often the only guy at a session who isn’t a father yet. Only had one kid show up. It might depend on where you’re training? Judo is pretty small in my country so there’s more people who start is an adult because it looks cool compared to competing in it as a sport from an early age.

My first class was nothing special, the sensei didn't focus too me after teaching me the basics. As time went on, I learned a bunch of techniques. My whole body is changing and while it is constantly aching I feel a strength I've never felt before. Judo is great and I will go with it as long as I can. Hopefully for the rest of my life. Tomorrow or the day after I'll recieve my first judogi.

I feel this. The only noobs in my class are girls who I completely dominate, especially now that I gained quite a bit of muscle or yellow belt guys with backgrounds in BJJ who are 5-10 cm taller than I am and way more skilled. I don't let it get me down, I use it as inspiration, because everytime I take one of them down I feel like the king of the world.
Show up, be 1% better, that's all on my mind now.

Stuff I would've told myself when I started
>don't hit your head, or land with it
>don't hit your shoulders or land against your shoulder when falling. super painful injury
>don't land with your elbow, it can lead to dislocation
>don't land with your arm straight against the ground, it can lead to dislocation or fracture, especially if you're fighting and have someone's weight on top of you.
>don't get eager about fighting, focus on learning breakfalls and practice them over and over
>when you finally start fighting don't worry about winning or scoring, it's not a competition. you'll discover that trying to throw a person who's actually resisting is a whole new world. progress is very slow in this. try different things, study how throws happen in an actual fight, see if you can apply what you've been practicing, and enjoy the magic of judo
>also realize that you don't have to do the "textbook" version of every throw. it's about adapting them to your strengths and needs.
>if you get thrown, don't resist super hard. let it happen, cause you also need to learn how to fall while actually being thrown by someone
>when fighting, focus on relaxing, breathing and not being tense. white belts tend to get very rigid and gas out immediately. also being rigid means your opponent can easily read you.
>buy sports tape and tape your fingers if you get burns from grabbing the gi. you'll develop calluses. also tape your feet if necessary, you'll likely get mat burns.
>you've probably heard that some throws are more dangerous than others. now, any throw could be dangerous but these are the ones i'd recommend being careful with these: osoto gari (one of the first throws you learn. can cause knee injury. also can hit like a train when done by an expert), soto makikomi (very strong throw. heavy guys love to use this and drop all their weight on you) ura nage (very strong wrestling type of throw), tani otoshi (knee injury risk), drop seoi nage (faceplanting risk)

It’s all a matter of what’s in vogue. Bjj and mma gyms get to charge that much because it’s popular and there’s a ton of demand. There’s significantly less demand for boxing and judo which is why they tend to be cheaper, and for boxing especially the target demographic doesn’t usually have a ton of cash to begin with.

Shit like karate chains charge a lot too because they’re sheisters who invest in a ton of advertising and are charging a ton of money from parents who don’t know any better.

That’s capitalism.

As an intermediate bjj practitioner,from my observation it seems like high level judo rarely has anyone completing a proper throw. It always seems like both people end up falling to the ground, but since one guy may have rolled slightly off to the side they count it as a throw. Id like to see some webms that show otherwise

I've done BJJ for about 1.5 years. Went to my university's Judo club yesterday and was honestly pretty unimpressed. I didn't manage to pull off any Judo throws, but almost every time someone went in for a Seoi nage, I dropped my hips, put my arms around their waist, and suplexed them. A brown belt there told me not to go for a throw unless I could throw the uke on their back. I was mainly throwing opponents onto their sides as I was both too tired to do a full arc and didn't want to be a dick and risk injury.

What gives, Judobros? I think the quality of the club is just shitty. It's a big uni and seems to have an assembly-line style of training, but many people there do compete. I have a hard time believing Judoka can't defend against a simple back-take and suplex off of a throw attempt. Is that due to competition ruleset where such a throw would be considered a yuko?

How the fuck would that even be possible with your arm being pulled up and forward? I’d say it’s just a shitty club or they were going easy on you if it really was that bad but your story doesn’t even make sense. Stop lying.

It might not have been seoi nage then. I really don't know the names of many throws. All I know is they turned their hips towards me, and tried to get under mine. I mean, if your arm is pulled up and forward you're probably getting thrown, but there's like a quarter - half a second before then where you can react and pull your elbow/arm down.

Also, they definitely weren't going easy on me. I'm just really disappointed in how judoka defend against back takes off throw attempts, and I'm not the first person to say/realize this. Hopefully things are different at other gyms but it was pretty embarrassing.

Assuming your not making shit up (I’ve talked to plenty of bjj guys who said judo throws are “risky” before I tossed them around for an hour) I’ll advise you that flopping on your side is not a throw and anyone who can’t toss a bjj blue belt probably hasn’t done judo very long. I do recall my own experience with a college judo club where there wasn’t even a black belt present at most training times and there wasn’t a fighter there qualified to fight outside of the white belt division. Go to a serious club if you actually want to see what judo is like.

For the record, “suplexing” (ura nage in judo) is perfectly legal in competition so if judoka couldn’t manage defending themselves against it we’d see a lot more of it but we don’t because turning throws properly executed don’t leave you as exposed as bjj people seem to think.

Yeah, there's a local BJJ gym here that has Judo 3x a week. I'm gonna scoop up a membership there. I really like throws. MMA is my primary interest and pulling a sweet throw against a cage/wall is just the best feeling.

There was a black belt instructor at the club, but he didn't give any personal instruction. There were maybe 70-80 students there, and one other black belt who didn't teach but just trained. The instructor is 5th dan according to the website, but it doesn't mention anything about a competition record. Instructor at the BJJ gym is 3rd dan, has won state championships, and it'll be a much smaller class. There were a couple cute girls in the Judo club and I'd probably make more friends there, but I just wanna get the best I can at fighting. What can I say, man. Maybe I'll use my second free class down the line to talk with people there and get digits.
>because turning throws properly executed
To properly execute a turning throw, how do you do it? Anything more than quickly and with the right timing? I couldn't make any openings when I was doing randori; that's why I just went for ura nage on the counter as well as some half-assed ashi waza.

>Anything more than quickly and with the right timing?
Something I tell all the white belts is that you can’t turn into them you have to pull them to you when you turn. If you turn into them not only are you not going to generate enough momentum to throw them but you’re at risk of being countered with ura nage or tani otoshi (pic related). By pulling them to you you put them on their toes so their weight is forward and the pulling action generates momentum so you can throw them over. In addition, even if you fail to throw them there will generally be too much distance between you and your opponent when they sit their weight back for them to actually counter throw you. Worst case scenario you fall forward into turtle but that’s better than getting your shit tossed. Better case scenario they sit their weight back and you turn back into a neutral position. Best case scenario they sit their weight back and you turn to follow up with a forward throw.

You should be careful with every throw, but you were probably reading about tai otoshi (pic related). Notice how in the picture tori (the thrower) has his calf below uke’s (literally, the receiver) knee. If you try to pull someone over your leg for tai otoshi but do not bend your leg below their knee, you can potentially dislocate their knee.

Troll or not, I find it deeply depressing that a majority of the discussion of judo nowadays circles around comparing it to BJJ.

Because they're intricately tied together. BJJ has stemmed from Judo (and Catch Wrestling which people seem to forget) since its inception and constant refinement. They're 2 sides of the same coin; 1 focusing more on takedowns and throws while the other is hell-bent on groundfighting and submissions.

Same problem for me. There is a Gracie BJJ dojo that claims to offer judo, but I don't want every single session to turn into a lecture on why I should be doing BJJ instead. Not that it doesn't have its uses but the only aspect of bjj I'm even slightly interested in is escapes.

Hey /judo/, I'm having a memory dilemma. I've been trying to remember if these 3 throws were ever used in Judo and what the names are or if they are just variations of already existing moves (Ippon seoi nage, O-Goshi)

Pic is the 3 moves, if anyone knows them or has an idea to what they could be please say

I believe throw 1 and 2 are the same just with different hand placement and it looks like Harai-makikomi goshi looks pretty close just without the leg sweep. Reminds me of that animated scene from Kill Bill.

I've been training kickboxing for a while and I've been getting more and more interested in judo. Plan was always to transition to mma but Judo just seems more fun and interesting to me at this point and from what I saw most bjj places dont do any proper takedowns here..

Just not sure if judo can work recreationaly for someone in 30s who'd prefer not to get injured again

Anonymous at Sun, 19 Feb 2023 05:30:15 UTC No. 136413

I would just call that makikomi goshi then. The only real function of the sweep anyways is just to prevent them from escaping the throw by circling around.

Take an adult “competitive” class then. That doesn’t always mean you have to be tournament prepping or that the higher belts are going to punching bag you for fun. I would at least call and ask if they take new adults.

You can tie your belt to a frame and practice opening your opponents and getting into position for a throw. See pic related from episode 4 of Mou Ippon! There also exists elastic tubes to replace your belt for solo practicing, using those can be quite a workout.
Aside from that, what I noticed is that the reasoning why a throw works is never really explained and you're left to figure it out on your own. So I suggest looking up videos on youtube showing throws and try to figure out in what way someone is off balance. Let's take the following example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-RS3uhtVWM&list=PLtz539PTepc16H2iu5F3Q3D7_He1EYlIQ&index=16 as you can see the guy goes all in with his uchimata putting his center of mass quite a bit in front of his foot, throwing him now is a matter of pulling that weight a bit more forward and he will fall. What rejuvenated my enjoyment of judo was to start seeing it as a puzzle to be solved.

You can also use a wheel inner tube instead of the elastic tubes. My sensei has also adviced me to try pull ups with my gi, grabbing it by the sleeves

My sensei gave the same suggestion to use the inner tube of a bicycle wheel. You need to be careful of the metal air inlet bit though, in case you lose your grip and the tube starts heading for you.

What's the difference between a judogi and karategi?
I tried googling but most results are about the arts themselves and not the uniforms.
The only main difference I found was that judogi are thicker due to judo focusing on grappling.

I'm not a hater but I understand why people don't like to watch him, he doesn't have good technique, it is average maximum. But, he constantly wins because of his huge size; if he was 5'10" he would be a recreational judoka. He was born with height though and he is using it to his advantage so I don't think there is anything wrong with it.

He's on the extreme high end of the heaviest weight division, which doesn't actually have a weight limit.

His wins are more due to being a massive man who can still manage to move somewhat athletically and while he obviously needs some technique to win, it's not that great and he seems to mostly win from penalties or a sloppy drag-down type of thing where he's just throwing his weight around. His Judo isn't relatable or relevant to anybody watching since everything he does relies on being a weight bully
