I read there are a few, like Koshen Judo, Kodokan Judo etc.
Also if you can please suggest a site.|||Honestly there could be some debate about this, as each individual has his own style.
But there are off shoots from Judo, such as Judo-do, but in reality there is only one Judo style. (Kodokan) Kosen Judo isn%26#039;t a seperate style, just a different ruleset to be made friendlier for school kids to learn. It was a name of the Judo taught in the Kosen school district that focused more on Newaza (matwork). Their ruleset is somewhat different though.
So I would say Kodokan, Judo-do, BJJ (offshoot of Judo), and could give you Kosen Judo, though it is really just a Kodokan style. Sambo could also be included, as is Russian Judo. It has a ton of unorthodox throws and grips.
That would be my list.
|||There is only ONE style of Judo and that is Kodokan Judo.
Kosen Judo is not a style, it is the Kodokan Judo matword (Newaza) the Japanese taught to children in 1913 as an introduction to Kodokan Judo. The BJJ people are obfuscating martial arts history to justify their over-emphasis on matwork and distance themselves from Kodokan Judo by insinuating that Kosen Judo is different than Kodokan Judo - and that is not the case.
Russian Sambo is also not another style of Judo, although, similar to BJJ, it originated out of Kodokan Judo.
Is soft ball a different style of baseball? Is touch football or flag football a different style of football? No. But just because softball leagues or touch football leagues have cropped up doesn%26#039;t make them a different style of baseball or football.
So, there is only one style of Judo, and that is Kodokan Judo.|||In reality there is only one, recognized system of Judo and that was created by Jigoro Kano. It is governed by the Kodokan in Japan but as with all good martial art systems there are bound to be decent offshoot systems that pop up.|||As far as I am aware, there are only two, Kosen and Kodokan.

Will Running 3 times a week about 4.5k and Judo 2 times a week help get rid of body fat fast?
I run 3 times a week (on a treadmill) for 30 minutes and I run about 4.5 kilometers and I do Judo 2 times a week, will I lose body fat fast?|||Sounds like it. Probably, yeah. Add some mild (very mild) weight lifting for 10 minutes each time you excercise and that should replace muscle with fat, which will speed up the process.
What is the best way to wash a judo gi?
specifically a judo or jiujitsu gi. They are thicker and made of all cotton. I heard they shrink. Should I use warm or cold water? Should I hand wash or use a machine. Should I use a dryer?|||hand wash with mild soap and hang to dry|||What would a real martial artist wash his with? Blood.
How can I over come my fear of being dropped and thrown in Judo?

How do I preform a Judo choke hold?
I have been into Judo lately and I always seem to get behind an opponant very easily but don%26#039;t know what to do. They say a proper choke hold can subdue the opposing Judoka in 3 seconds. If you know how to do this or know of a site that does, please inform me. I am very interested in learning more Judo.|||I know of 2 ways depending on whether your opponent is standing or on the mat.
If he%26#039;s on the mat, pass your right arm around the front of his neck and grab the left lapel of his gi, then reach your left arm around the front of his neck and grab his right lapel. Your arms should be crossed in front of his neck at this point. Then pull his gi towards you, this will choke him with his own gi.
If he%26#039;s standing, reach your left arm around his neck. Grab your left wrist with your right hand and pull tight.
Only do this stuff with your instructor supervising!!!!|||PROB THE WRONG FORUM.
HANDS ON WOULD BE PROFICIENT?|||A tip in the area rather than a direct answer - using your hand run it down or around your apponents kneck/ throat it burns and really fells like a cut, made me jump. No hand toughening exercises are needed, not a Judo student, karate and touched on Krav Maga. Good luck with your question

Has anybody bought the videos sold by Rhadi Ferguson and Jimmy Pedro? Will it help my judo and grappling?
Has anybody bought the videos sold by Rhadi Ferguson and Jimmy Pedro? Will it help my judo and grappling? Is there a specific video that has worked for you? And which video would you say helped the most. i am training for judo specificly.|||Jimmy%26#039;s videos are good.
Rhadi%26#039;s training videos as far as conditioning are great, his Judo technique videos aren%26#039;t anything to write home about. But the due is a conditioning beast, and really good on the mat, despite his trademark pick up slam morote gari that he is known for.
(I train with Ato Hand, who basically ruled the division Rhadi is in, Rhadi didn%26#039;t come into prominence until Ato left)
Any video is definately going to help open your eyes to different stuff then what you do in the dojo, so I would say yes either one would be of help. I personally find Jimmy%26#039;s better, but I love all of Rhadi and IntoCombat%26#039;s conditioning stuff, really great stuff there.
Hope that is of some help.

What belt on average would i be after a year of Judo?
I know everyone learns at a different speed but what belt are ppl usaully after a year in Judo.|||Depends on the number of belts your dojo uses. If they are very traditional and use the 3 kyu system before black you may be either a green belt or close to it. If they are more modern in their belt system you will probably be a yellow or orange belt (if they use orange).|||It%26#039;s hard to determine what belt color you would be because national governing bodies/judo associations have different belts to represent rank.

How do I get sponsored for judo?
I am a Canadian resident, and I was wondering how I would go about getting sponsored for Judo. My friend got sponsored by africa by just writing a letter to them. I don%26#039;t get it, where would i send it to? what would i do! AHH so confused. Please help.|||Without knowing your background, we will assume you are at least a National level competitor.
We do not know your friends background either, but we wonder how they could have gotten sponsorship with just a letter. They must have fit some sort of government funding criteria for that to happen.
The first source of funding would be your National Governing Body. The would be Judo Canada. Their website is http://www.judocanada.org/ We would advise you to look at their qualifications for funding.
Secondly, your provincial or territorial associations might have funding. You can link to your association from the Judo Canada website for contact information.
In more popular sports, the money will find you, and you won%26#039;t need to find the money. Finding a corporate sponsor will be difficult in a sport like judo.
Home Depot sponsors some elite judo athletes in the USA by giving them jobs with very flexible hours and benefits. We are not sure if they have the same type of program in Canada, or if other corporations participate in similar programs for Olympic sports.
Most judokas that we know who seek sponsorship, have friends, family and benefactors that contribute tremendously to their training costs. You need to tap your social network resources if you are serious about being sponsored.
Some USA judo athletes have set up websites and blogs. Two time Olympian Taraje Williams Murray has a blog http://www.taraje.com that chronicled his preparation, the ups and downs of trying to make an Olympic team, and then living the Olympic experience. He requested donations, sold products on his blog, and also produced a DVD with 2004 Olympian Rhadi Ferguson titled Beyond the Rings which he sells. He is also sponsored by Hatashita Sports.
Even so, with everything he did, he still had to take on debt to make his dream happen.
Finding sponsorship is more than writing a letter to the right person. Its hard work. Its time consuming, and it is replete with rejection. If you can%26#039;t handle taking %26quot;no%26quot; for an answer, it will be a painful process.
If there is one encompassing piece of advice we could give you, it would be this. Be professional and be appreciative.

What martial art is better than the other? - Judo or Karate?
I was thinking to learn a fighting style of martial arts (only Judo or Karate), because I think that it will help me a lot with my flexibility, strength and stamina, so I decided to ask questions and get good answers. (I only chose Judo or Karate because they are the only local ones). Thank You|||Most people do not realize how interlinked these systems are. I recommend finding a traditional Karate school that also offers Judo. There are many out there. I was trained in both Goju Ryu and Judo at the same time and my Sensei was really good at interlinking the too when we did Randori (free exercise). Both are great for what you are looking to gain from them and I applaud you for not wanting to be in them just to learn fighting ability. Good luck.|||There is no better, and Judo is a form of karate. I would suggest investigating what you want to know, ie) what you want to be able to do, and align it with your abilities. In such that if you have a previously broken back I would recommend something softer rather than if you 18 and a fire cracker I would recommend something that would utilize as much of your energy as you have. You should end every class with everything on the floor. Your blood sweat mind body and soul should go into everything you do.|||It%26#039;s entirely up to you. All martial arts have their strengths and weaknesses. Judo is good for learning how to use leverage against your opponent to control him but it really isn%26#039;t good at teaching how to strike or kick. Tae Kwon Do will give you great flexibility in your legs teach you to strike but it%26#039;s just not a practical martial art for a real fight. Tae Kwon do fighters can kick and punch but through them on the ground and they%26#039;re screwed. I would check out the school. See what a class is like. They may offer something more than pure Judo or Pure Karate. They may borrow from different disciplines which gives you a good mix. It%26#039;s all up to what you want to get out of it.|||Different strokes...
Both are good arts. both can teach you a lot. Go down to teh dojo and try them both out. See which dojo and which teacher is a better fit for you.
They have some common ground, at least at traditional levels. Judo comes from jujutsu, karate is sometimes called Okinawan jujutsu. Both include throws and joint controls/destruction, and both traditionally included striking. Sport judo did away with striking and many karate schools don%26#039;t teach much throwing or locking any more, but a good school of either will be well rounded.|||I%26#039;d say Karate. Why?
Karate does have both systems put into one, if not better than the other.
There are Karate styles with grappling both standing AND on the ground. I am sorry i do not know which Karate style that is, but it might not be very hard to find out, although i doubt you have that one nearby since you seem very limited.|||They are quite different so part of it depends on what you are looking for. I would ask to observe a class or two in each just to see which one you prefer.
Getting a good instructor is more important than style.|||Both will help your flexibility, strength, and stamina.
I took both and i have to say that Karate was better and more worthy of learning.|||This is choice like get pork chop or beef steak . Different things for different folks . People should not say better martial art or worse . This is wrong way of thinking . |||You should take both. It would make you a very well-rounded fighter! |||neither TAE KWON DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is it hard to apply judo to real life street fights or mma fights?
Im thinking of doing judo (because bjj lacks strong takedowns) but I want to know how hard it would be to apply any of its throws if there aren%26#039;t any gi%26#039;s being worn at the time the throws are applied.|||No !!
it%26#039;s not hard to apply judo to real life street fights or mma fights due to the fact that you are training against resisting opponents which will stand you in good stead on the streets or mma.
Best wishes :)***|||I%26#039;m only a green belt in Judo (2years really hard work).
Trust me it works, this person once went for a wide swing at me and i straight away put him in a uchi mata, the guy fell stuned.
And as for MMA much of the time is fought on the ground all the chokes strangle you see, also the defensive and attacking stances are all included in Judo. Also many take downs are learnt in Judo.
The Gi is good to have but once you really master the throw is can be applied when you are wearing nothing with devastatingg affect.
It a good martial art to know, if you look at it in the olympics many people think that its boring but there are lots of other things going on that two guys on the ground doing nothing.
If you get into a fight there are two types of things that can happen, either you start hooking each other fast or you grapple, now if you do grapple trust me there aient a way in hell you will loose if you even practice once a week.
There is also a self defence side to Judo where you learn kicks and punches it not only grappling.
Judo is good to know, but if you can combine Judo and Boxing together you have the ultimate combination.|||This is one of the biggest misconceptions about judo. While some throws require gi%26#039;s most can be accomplished by using arm-locks or the clothes a person is wearing. I have used Judo on numerous occasions to defend myself in real-life situations. If you can find an old-school (non Brazilian) jui-jitsu school, they have great takedowns.|||never formally trained in judo but have observed at classes and seminars.
and yes, judo works in real fights.
my suggestion, get a group of friends(preferably people who can take a fall or a blow), and set up some mats and have them randomly attack you in different ways.
use your judo skills to try to defeat them.
then maybe go to some woods at night and do the same.
have them hide behind trees and structures and attack. this not only develops your skills but your reflexes and your mindset as well.
its a great addition to the classroom sparring training you will receive.
friends of mine and i trained this way to add to our arts.
and a couple of people i know have asked me to train them self defense and if(i doubt it) i do i will use these methods.

I was wondering between judo and karate which would be a better beginning martial art?
I have not done martial arts before. i am 13 and medium build. I want good self defense as well as discipline. Does karate teach any judo like throws and take downs?|||Karate does have throws and take-downs, joint locks, ...etc. The problem is that only a few instructors have been fully trained in those techniques within their style. Both Judo and karate are great arts and either could be what you are looking for. It all comes down to the instructor and what he has been taught. You can only do what you have been taught. You can lso only be taught what your instructor knows and is willing to teach.
I suggest you search for a good instructor, rather than a style. find a really good instructor and you will be ahead of most people before you even start. Also avoid belt mills. And school that talks about being a black belt, or any belt for that matter is a belt-mill / McDojo / Shake-And-Bake School. You want a school that teaches skills. Belts will follow. They should never be the goal.|||While my first MA is actually Kyokushin karate, I would recommend Judo as your first art, or jujitsu. I always stress the advantage of your youth flexibility in training in those arts as maintaining that flexibility is easier than gaining it once you%26#039;re older.
When you%26#039;re older, then start taking the standup martial art, make sure it%26#039;s not a McDojo, and that there is emphasize in the dojo for proper sparring (you can only learn how to fight by fighting)
That way, you don%26#039;t have to explain too much to the parents anymore when you go home with bruises.
good luck with your training.|||They%26#039;re both great styles with a long history and both are effective forms of martial arts. Yes, Karate is bad about McDojo%26#039;s so ya gotta be careful, but there are a lot of great schools out there also....if the school is a good one Karate is a great style, its very solid and well rounded.
Karate will teach you a few throws and take downs but its mainly a striking style. Judo will teach you very little, if any, strikes like punching kicking or chopping and is all about throws take downs and grappling. They are kind of opposite styles but both very effective. In Japan its common for people to train in both so they know striking and grappling.
I would recomend Karate, but I%26#039;m biased of course because thats what I do.|||Karate is better for beginners and is great for self-defense and teaches good discipline but if you want to learn throws and takedown then try judo.
Or better yet join your town%26#039;s or school%26#039;s wrestling program which will teach you enough throws and takedowns and take karate along side.|||some karate schools will teach a couple of throws and take downs but not as much as judo but judo wont teach much punching and kicking.
if u want throws and takedowns just do judo but i suggest goign to schools about both and decide on which one you find more fun.|||Judo is still a very mcdojo free art,Karate..ha dont get me started. Judo is very effective,and addiciting
I suggest you search for a good instructor, rather than a style. find a really good instructor and you will be ahead of most people before you even start. Also avoid belt mills. And school that talks about being a black belt, or any belt for that matter is a belt-mill / McDojo / Shake-And-Bake School. You want a school that teaches skills. Belts will follow. They should never be the goal.|||While my first MA is actually Kyokushin karate, I would recommend Judo as your first art, or jujitsu. I always stress the advantage of your youth flexibility in training in those arts as maintaining that flexibility is easier than gaining it once you%26#039;re older.
When you%26#039;re older, then start taking the standup martial art, make sure it%26#039;s not a McDojo, and that there is emphasize in the dojo for proper sparring (you can only learn how to fight by fighting)

Is there a list of all Judo Black Belts at the Kodokan in Tokyo?
My father was the US Judo Champion in the late sixties. I%26#039;ve heard the Kodokan in Japan keeps a record of all Judo black belts around the world. Anyone know if this is true?|||Yes, to a certain point. There are schools that are not affiliated with the kodokan though.
How valuable is cross-training in Muay Thai and Judo?
I plan to do some MMA sparring, but also I just want self defense and to be able to Grapple since I am in Wrestling. I will be doing Judo and Muay Thai this summer.|||if I were you i%26#039;d pick one or the other to start that way you can get a better grasp on the concepts that you are learning. Instead of learning muay thai think about american boxing, 90% of judo works out of the clinch, muay thai uses alot of strikes from the clinch as well which may complicate things in a fight.|||great. let us know how you do when you get your first fight. (not a street fight but in competition)|||Any forms of cross-training has value whatever arena you decided. Cross training can be used in almost any styles.
First, you need a foundation or base art. Trying to master many different arts are very difficult and can be detrimental to your growth as a MMA fighter or simply as a martial artist.
Once you pick a base or primary art, then you can use other arts as supplementary / complimentary to your base art. If we look at the MMA arena as an example , we see fighters who are either a strong wrestlers or strikers. These fighters have perfected one art that would become thier bread and butter.
There are many advantages of cross-training such as understanding the differences in other types of martial arts available to you.
The downside is which you need to be aware of is that cross-training means that a large portion of your time is devoted to learning a different art than your base art. This means that you are taking ample time away from growing, learning, and improving in your base art.
Good luck in your endeavor !|||With a wrestling background, judo should come very natural to you. Judo is very important because of what you can do when you have someone in a thai clinch.

What's the difference between jujitsu,judo and Brazilian jujitsu?
my name joe im 17 and i want to learn some mix martial arts before i go to the navy
and from what i seen bjj is my type of fighting stlye i want to take judo for throw and brazilian jujitsu for ground attack
is it neccsary to take juijitsu for stand and strike game or should i take mui thai and please tell me the
pros
cons
of the three
and the diffrnets if you can|||BRAZILLIAN JUJITSU
+ will make you very good on the ground
+ this will teach you a lot of joint locks etc.
- as you are joining the navy, i am not so sure you will need to be good on the ground..
- this will make you a fair bit stronger, but your fitness will barely improve at all with this one..
JUJITSU
+ Judo, Brazilian JuJitsu, Muay Thai, and almost all other martial arts originate from JuJitsu, and so therefore you will learn groundwork and throwing as well with JuJitsu
+ JuJitsu will give you a healthy mix of strength and fitness
+ As this is not a competitive art, it is a lot more practical.. You will learn to defend from strikes, strangles, holds etc.
+ You will learn to be very good with striking.. Often the strikes learnt in JuJitsu are a lot more practical than that of Karate..
- JuJitsu is not a competition sport - so if you are interested in competing, this is not your martial art (although skill competitions are held for JuJitsu)
- As JuJitsu involves striking, ground fighting, throwing, joint locks etc. you will improve at each of these at a slower rate than you would if you only did a striking martial art, or only a ground fighting martial art (because you cannot spend all your time on a single one of these) - however being skilled at all of these is a huge benefit, as you will have all bases covered..
JUDO
+ You would become absolutely brilliant at throwing - which is very useful..
+ Judo often incorporates Joint locks and holdings etc. so it is very good for that..
+ It teaches you to get people on the ground..
- Judo doesn%26#039;t involve any striking at all which can often be the most important part of a fight.. Many martial artists consider %26quot;distracters%26quot; (strikes etc.) to be the most crucial part of combat..
- Judo is fairly impractical and is usually only used in competitions..
If I were you I would do JuJitsu.. :)
It is by far the most practical and is good because it%26#039;s a mix of all of them.. :)|||Quite honestly not counting Bobby%26#039;s unbiased opinion(sarcasm there) BJJ is actually an offshoot of Judo. In reality Judo has just as effective ground techniques as BJJ, and much better take down and throwing techniques. At least it gives you options where with BJJ you are basicly commited to the ground.
BJJ is fantastic 1 on 1 in a fair fight, and in some instances would probably do ok 2 on 1 if your attackers were not fully commited, however it ceases to become the %26quot;best%26quot; style out there when you get into multiple attackers and sharp weapons, because the way it is used garuntees you getting into stabbing range.
(Not slamming BJJ people, just stating the reality that it has weaknesses like any other style)
However people like Bobby will put a couple of you tube clips up to support their theory. I am not slamming BJJ, however it seems to generate more %26quot;Our style is the best and only real one%26quot; answers then any other, mainly from people who think a street fight is the same as self defense.
In my opinion I would take Judo over BJJ simply for the fact that it%26#039;s ground techniques are just as effective if trained correctly, and it actually has much better take downs and throws.
If BJJ is the ultimate style why do we have MMA now?

Can anyone give me a list of accredited judo places in Los Angeles?
It%26#039;s known to be the most effective in fighting and you can never mess with people who know judo. So I really like that about judo and want to learn it. But how long would it take me approximately to become somewhat good?|||It will take you 17 months to be somewhat good. 23 months to be somewhat pretty good. 3 years to be good. 5 years to be somewhat very good.
Everyone learns at a different pace. These times are based on what I think your current ability is and how much time I think you will practice the art. You%26#039;re welcome.|||You will never become hard at playing judo, its for lady boys. In LA if you throw someone on the ground, they will either shoot you or pimp you out. AK 47 is the way forward buddy.|||USA Judo has places on its website that are members. The direct link to the California clubs is here: http://www.usjudo.org/cal.asp
Good luck!|||I would check out legends gym, its owned by bas butten and randy couture. Also one of the trainers is karo parisyan, He is world famous for his judo (known as the best judo fighter in mma.) he is a actuall trainer that is there 3-5 times a week so its not like he comes in once or twice a year ( randy and bas come in 1-2 a year to run a clinic.) its a little expensive but I heard they had some deals going on so I would check it out.
p.s if you find out that you want to try out jui jitsu also, eddie bravo is the teacher there (if you dont know who he is google his name, he is the creator of the %26quot;rubber guard%26quot;

I need a strategy in Judo for going against an opponent who is faster than me and nearly as strong?
Usually I%26#039;m as stronger than any of the Judo people I randori with. There is one guy who is almost as strong as I am but he is faster. I need to think of a strategy where I can use my slight advantage in strength to offset his speed. This is more of a general question how to use power / technique to offest speed.|||The same way that you would use someones weight against them. Use his speed against him. Give him something that you know he%26#039;ll take but have a counter already in mind. People who are fast/quick in Judo and Jiu-Jitsu have the same problem. When they go for something they are fully commited. Very few are undercontrol. If you are able to stop or counter one of their moves, most likely they are in a bad position. Take advantage of it.|||Look for his weak point.
Use your strong point.
Spar against some guys who are slower than you and see what tactics they use to counter you.
Good luck.

Judokas, how can effectively use Judo in my Mat Wrestling game if there is no Gi allowed?
I%26#039;ve never done No Gi Judo neither. So I%26#039;m wondering how I can effectively use the techniques without having the Gi. Thanks for the advice.|||For one thing, Judo is not wrestling anymore than karate is boxing.|||Judo can help with Greco style take downs, and some throws can be used in Freestyle competetions.
Pins, scrambles, sweeps and mat control you develop with Judo also help with wrestling. They both compliment each other.
As you begin to understand throws more and more you can modify them by using underhooks/overhooks, whizzers and the like. Also by doing both you get practical experience in each one and more mat time, which translates into better understanding and more practice.
They compliment each other well. Also keep in mind most mat techniques aren%26#039;t nearly as Gi dependent in Judo as they are in BJJ. Yet BJJ guys do great at No Gi, it is just a matter of understanding and using body parts to control a person vs. the gi. The principles are the same, with wanting to control a quarter of the body, moving an opponent to where you are taking away his post etc.
A lot of it just comes with mat time.
Good luck!|||I am a karate man. Now that you said no gi judo. Judokas use to practise with gi on al the time, what happen when they are in a real fight without shirt on? After all they were used to practising with gis. So I think, judokas should also practise without having their gis.|||It will be a big help. The one thing about going from Gi to no Gi is you still have the timing, the endurance, the feel and the reflexes. You just need to change some of the techniques. It will help alot.|||I trained with Karo, under Gokor Chivichyan for many years. The reason why he has adapted Judo without the Gi is because Gokor makes his students fight Judo without the Gi many times during practice. Over the years they learn all the throws and submissions without the need of a Gi.
My advice for you would be to train Judo without using the Gi. Over time you will learn to adapt the techniques.|||Judo translates well into freestyle wrestling with the slip rules and trying to turn %26quot;turtled%26quot; opponents.
Honestly it doesn%26#039;t do much for folk style.
I did both judo and wrestling for many years - In the summer I did free style and judo as they went hand in hand. When I was in highschool - I had to switch mindsets and get my head into a very different game.
If wrestle freestyle or even greco - you will find judo translates very well after about 3 months of training.|||Adapting Judo techniques to no-Gi fighting is possible, but will take practice. The main aspect is that you have to modify throws so that you no longer rely on using the Gi for support. Instead of grabbing the the Gi you need to adjust your grip to grabbing someones arms, neck or torso, depending on the throw. A good place to get some ideas is to look up Karo Pariyan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karo_Parisy... on google there are many videos that show his modified judo throws used in UFC bouts.

What is going to happen on the Judo version of the “Human Weapon”?
The episode is in the can, but I am enthusiastically waiting to see what is going to happen on the Judo episode that will air this Friday (8/3).
One of these guys is going to fight with some form of Judo champion in the show. From the previous shows, it appears the neither fighter has any experience in Judo.
If you are a striker you can kind of fake it when you are fighting other striking arts, but you can’t fake it in Judo. It takes years to become moderately proficient. Then you randori with one of these “national or international level “players, and they dump you in seconds. They can dump you all day long if they decided to. They dump you like nothing more than pushing a sack of potatoes off a loading dock.
I am calling under 1 minute. Anyone care to take the over?|||well Jason Chambers(the lil guy) is mma so if he trained in mma properly he should know a lil grappling and Bill Duff(the big guy)was a wrestler now depending what kind of wrestling (like greco-roman wrestling and freestyle) he should be ok at takedowns, takedown defense, and locks....i mean of course hes still gonna get whooped im just saying that they should a lil knowledge in judo/grappling techniques
and if you notice on the shows the people they fight go WAAAAY easy on them, but still do enough to win. the thai boxer and escrimador obviously coulda hurt seriously hurt Jason but he walked away with minor injuries
im guessing Bill is gonna take on the judo guy for one he hasnt fought anyone yet and two he keeps talking about his wrestling background|||Karo Parysian will show up, throw everyone on their heads and go home.|||Karate is 8/3, Savate is on 8/10 I have no idea when Judo is on.
So far, the people they have fought have taken it relatively easy on them to make for good TV. I%26#039;ll take the over on your bet.|||lol HUMAN WEAPON IS THE BEST SHOW!!!|||it%26#039;ll probably be the big guy that gets a chance to fight since he%26#039;s the wrestler and he hasn%26#039;t gone yet. either which way, one of them is gonna land on his head quite a few times because that judo master is gonna throw which ever one it is around like a rag doll. i personally like the show and find it very informative.|||they are showing karate this friday (8/3) on 8/10 they%26#039;re doing savate streetfighting, and then on 8/17 (which is the series finale) they are doing judo.
they are going to take a few trips through tokyo and visit a legendary judo master, so i think it will last more than one minute. chambers/duff will still lose of course, but he will put up a decent fight just like they have in the first two episodes.|||the big guys been a wrestler since he was like 5 and the other guy knows MMA i dont think itll be that bad

Can Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belts enter Judo competitions at the black belt level?
Judo competition is pretty sweet but my main martial art is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. After getting a black belt in BJJ would I be able to compete in advanced Judo competitions?|||It depends on the tournament. All Judo ranks are awarded by National Organizations in conjunction with your head instructor.

I used to play judo but am worried about injuries -- what is another good competitive full-body workout sport?
I stopped playing judo because as I%26#039;m getting close to 30, I think the risk of injuries is getting a little too high. But I always liked the workout I got from judo, as well as its competitive nature, and would like to find a good replacement sport with fewer injuries. Certainly doesn%26#039;t have to be a martial art. Any suggestions?|||well, krav maga is more of a true defensive type of sports designed for survival

Im about to begin Judo or BJJ. What kind of injuries can i have in judo and what safety equipment is needed?
Thank you guys!
I am looking forward to select between BJJ and Judo.
I pay much attention to safety from injuries.
Also , id like to know, which one do you think safer? ,
Thanks a lot.|||Judo is a little safer only because it isn%26#039;t a trendy style. When a style becomes trendy it can attract some teachers who have limited knowledge in the training methods. Neither style is dangerous if you are practicing under a qualified instructor.
I have not experienced any injuries in Judo or Jujitsu in my 40 years of practice. My injuries came from wrestling, high school football, and MMA contests. I would guess that people who report injuries in either style were actually injured in another sport, or even riding a skateboard. Maybe the injuries only surfaced later.
If you are an active person, your knees, ankles, shoulders, and back are probably going to start wearing out before you do. This is just a result of a longer life span and the natural aging process.|||I have been training in both BJJ and Judo for many years..doing this long enough you will experience pain in your joints particularly your hands and ankles..most active Judoka (you will see people often tape of their joints, fingers and ankles )
Judo and BJJ are both excellent and they compliment each other. I know many Judoka who are well into their 80%26#039;s and still train.
My one sugestion is to remember to alwayas practice good form|||In martial arts training there is always a potential risk of injury and that%26#039;s why good schools and instructors while teaching and training their students hard keep the injuries down to a minimum. They have rules in place and enforce them, don%26#039;t pair inexperienced students with other inexperienced students for certain things, (that%26#039;s just asking for accidents to happen), and stress caution and safety as certain things are being taught or practiced.
As for the types of injuries you can expect anything from a broken finger or toe to a broken arm, collar-bone, torn knee, or dislocated shoulder if students and instructors don%26#039;t exercise the proper control. Judo is safer since it does not stress joint locks to the extent that BJJ does and schools are usually required to carry insurance. This is where a little shopping around, watching several classes, and talking to some of the students afterwords can be helpful in making your decision. If it is what I sometimes call a hard core or rough school and you don%26#039;t want that hard of training then it probably is not a good place for you to go. The amount of contact, physical pain and the risk of injuries is oftentimes higher in those schools especially if the instructors and students don%26#039;t exercise proper care when working out.|||neither is really safer.. tho due to the fact that Brazilian Jiu jitsu has more holds, submissions by arm bars, and chokes.. probably a more likely possibility that youd get injured by BJJ than by Japanese Style judo.|||I did a little judo for a few years as a kid and have a little experience with BJJ training with one of my housemates
I never got any serious injuries from judo but it tends to be a
********* on hands and feet if you have a bad landing. The very first training in BJJ actually gave me a nasty nerve injury on my foot. It works the joints so it can indeed overwork the joints. I never heard of any safety equipment for either.|||litsen im not here to start trouble or anything but isnt ufc martal arts boring pro wresling is much beter guys|||I have done both for many years.
Judo = bad knees and fingers/toes
BJJ = bad elbows and maybe knees/ankle if you train with jerks
As for safety equipment - if you are over 30 - you HAVE to wear knee pads in judo. You will thank me in 10 years.
EDIT
%26quot;Judo is safer since it does not stress joint locks to the extent that BJJ does and schools are usually required to carry insurance.%26quot;
I had to laugh when I read this. I competed at a fairly high level in both BJJ and Judo - I mostly competed at the regional level but went to several national level events as well. I received MANY more injuries in Judo than BJJ. They have recently changed the rules about using your head as a way of avoiding points - which I never had when I was competing. Judo is a much more dangerous art for your body. The injuries to my neck and back still haunt me to this day. My injuries from almost a decade of BJJ are a bad right elbow. I would trade the back, neck, and knee pains for my hurt elbow any day of the week.
As with anything - it depends on the level you train at. If you train with a good local group of guys that focus on the technique instead of winning major tournaments - you will likely not get hurt badly in either art.

How much groundfighting is there in Kodokan Judo?
I know Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu emphasizes more on groundfighting and Judo emphasizes throws, but how much groundfighting in Judo. Do you learn groundfighting in every class, every other class, never, ect.?|||I am not familiar with that style of Judo.
Judo is at least 50% ground work, or was in my experience.
We would spend half the class working on throws, then the other half we would actually begin on the ground. There is one exercise where you begin with your back against another seated student. That is the beginning of the ground portion of the class. We also learned joint locks and how to avoid them and escape.|||Well I don%26#039;t know about Kodokan Judo but I took a Korean deviant of Judo that focused on a lot of ground fighting. Honestly when ever I see ground and pound fighting in UFC it looks to me like Korean style Judo. However, Japanese Judo tends to be a lot more gentle and focus on more throws then ground fighting. i was told that the Korean deviant is a mix of Judo and Tekkeyan the Korean art that inspired Tae Kwon Do.|||there are some grappling techniques too (like arm bars, chokes using gi%26#039;s, big difference is leg locks are not allowed in judo), but not to the extent of jujitsu and its growth has modified to adapt. remember judo is a watered down version of jujitsu basically. judo in general is more sport oriented and has a scoring system. so the throws are counted with points, if you take down your opponent you can pin them down to score too.|||well i do judo and the battle after the throw is ground fighting, so if u do jiu-jitsu just learn the throws and ur set man

What are the best Judo throws without a Gi and set ups?
I%26#039;ve found that throwing someone without a Gi is difficult when you are accustom to using the Gi. It isn%26#039;t an easy transition. What Judo throws work the best without a Gi?|||Ipon seonegi is perfect for it is a one arm throw and you would only need to grab your opponants wrist. Do it as a drop throw and it is more effective for competition. Also any of the Ogoshi (hip throws) because you will often find yourself in a clinch with your opponant and as long as you have their arms tied up you can turn in and throw them. Harai ogoshi, Tai otoshi, uchi mata all very effective without a gi. Also Osoto Gari would work well and it is the first throw tought to white belts. I%26#039;d even try the Makikomi throws as they are all one armed throws and you would only need to control your oppoants right wrist with your left hand and your right hand doesn%26#039;t hold onto anything. If you don%26#039;t know them as some dojos don%26#039;t like to teach them as they are potentialy dangerous. They are similar to ipon but your arm goes over theirs rather than under and you go down on top of them. There are 3 or 4 techniques of this style of throw. Oh and don%26#039;t forget Kata Garuma which is a firemans carry in wrestling.
13 years of Judo training|||The principles for any throw still hold true even if you aren%26#039;t using a gi. You just need to find a different way to achieve kazushi (off balancing).
O-goshi and Uke-goshi almost don%26#039;t use the gi much to begin with. From that, if you use an underhook/ behind the back grip, you can do harai-ogoshi.
Ippon seionage is also effective without the gi. There is a taiotoshi variation where you use two hands on one arm that doesn%26#039;t require the gi.
As far as ashiwaza, Osotogari, and Oushigari are effective. I also used to use kosoto, kouchi, and sasae on my wrestlers.
All of these throws and more can be effective without a judogi. What it is going to depend on is what you are good at and what your opponent is built like. This is a question that I had as a white belt and for a long time going up the ranks. Somewhere along the line, I got good enough to convert the principles of a throw even without the gi.
Good luck, train hard, have fun.|||All of them should work with the possible exception of lapel throws. The first throw I learned so it%26#039;s easiest for me was the shoulder roll. It%26#039;s a basic throw used in many fighting styles. You bring the arm over you or you may even be in a headlock. You step into the opponent and roll their weight over you. You fall as well, but on top of them and if done well you land an elbow in the drop as well.
There%26#039;s a saying that if all you train with is in a dojo and gi all you will be able to do is fight in a dojo with those wearing gis. Try mixing up your training a little more. My dojo has street weeks where we all wear normal street clothes (minus shoes of course) to prepare for different outfits. Also getting used to how our clothes move is a good idea as well. You%26#039;re not going to throw many kicks if you%26#039;re wearing a dress or tight jeans and you wont be doing crazy throws in a nice suit.|||i cant spell it but its osotogari!
basically be aware of your body possitioning and hold and see if you can use an open hand push instead of a grip . with osoto you can do an arm across the entire body while you step around and trip the leg...
also simple foot sweeps you can do with out grabbing too.
instead of a grab to the gi you can also sub a grab to the nape of the neck too or the armpit!
I am fortunate to have a good mma school that teaches judo for mma and he tells you ways of using it on the street without a gi..|||Karo Parisyan has a great instructional on no gi judo throws, hes the most succesfful judo fighter to transition into MMA. he uses variations of osotogari, ippon seoi nage, ogoshi, uchi mata, harai goshi and incidentally those are all the best to transition into no gi. some sacrifice throws work too but you should practice and see which do and dont. in general most judo throws will work its just about changing your handle, rather than sleeve you control wrist, tricep and shoulders/waist. as long as u have control to get your kuzushi you will have many throws at your disposal. i would also recomend looking into that instructional dvd series by parisyan.|||actually u can use majority of the throws even without the gi. it%26#039;s just a matter of knowing where to hold your opponent.holding the wrists is like a complete control of the sleeves,u can throw a ippon seoi nage by grabbing the arm(with morote seoinage it depends though). u can even use the makikomi form on your opponent even if he doesn%26#039;t have much clothing.adjusting is just all in the mind...

Why did you start Judo and why have you stayed with it?
Do you agree that sport competition wins are a major reason why
judoka should be promoted in Rank? and, could someone get a
high rank without a winning shiai record history? Could someone
never do randori and still consider themselves a judo person?|||I think sport comp wins are part of a reason a person should be promoted. If they are immature or have poor technique and crappy training practices then they should wait. Sometimes a naturally gifted person will come in and clean up in Shiai but have lousy technique, they obviously don%26#039;t need to advance in rank until they have the ability to properly do the technique.
I know plenty of people who have gotten high in rank without a winning shiai record, especially people who are involved in Judo on many aspects, but say cannot compete physically anymore. At some point in your Judo career you will no longer be competing but still giving to the art as a referee or a coach, or just involvement in your dojo.
Could someone never do randori and be a judo person? No, randori is key to understanding techniques and using them in an applicable manner. Randori is not shiai, and a person can randori without going all out. Randori is a major part of judo, mainly because not only are you helping out yourself, but you are helping out your partner, mutual benefit. You can do all the uechi komi in the world, but unless you do it moving in and in a randori situation you will not fully grasp the throw itself, nor the joint locks or chokes, until you do it on a person who is resisting.
I started Judo to complete myself as a martial artist, I wanted grappling to go with my stand up, I wanted to know how to control a person if he grabbed me, that and I was dating a Judo girl and thought I would give a try.
I stuck with it because I love it, I enjoy competition, I love the chess game of it, it keeps me sharp and in shape, and combined with what I learn it is an excellent foundation, plus I use it all the time. Not to mention breakfalls have saved my damn life.
I don%26#039;t think I will ever master it, it is like golf. There is always some new challenge to it.|||Sorry, I%26#039;ve never done Judo.

Is there a difference between a Jujitsu uniform and a Judo uniform?
My son will take Jujitsu, and need to get a uniform. But, it is hard to find one online. Is a Judo uniform the same thing?|||The collar is one difference, at least in BJJ.
A (BJ)JJ Gi is more durable, since you grab not only the jacket in (B)JJ. Or maybe my Judo Gi sucked in quality. :P
A Judo Gi is pretty much the same. Won%26#039;t matter much now in the start, and they%26#039;re usually a lot cheaper.
They are more common to find, too.
They feel a bit thicker on the top, though. Cause they need to resist the grappling.I found it hard to move on the ground with my Gi.
Competitions allow only (B)JJ Gi%26#039;s, though.
I ordered mine from my instructor and it feels great, so i recommend you speaking with your instructor, but your son have to take his time and feel if JJ is really his style before you put money on more stuff.|||sure
i have been doing judo and jiu jitsu for years. they are basically the same thing, withsubtlee differences.
1. karate uniforms are thinner, they allow for for freeer movement, but are too flimsy for grappling. if you tried to do judo or jiu jitsu in a karate uniform, it will be torn after a few throws.
now we go to jiuKitsu
the important points are if you son is taking japanese or brazilian jiu jitsu.
ufc fighters all train in bjj
the main differencee betweejudodo and jiu jitsu, and bjj kimonos is the brand.
when i walked into a japanese judo/jiu jitsu class in my krugans brand kimono, the sensai immediately said to me %26quot;I see that yohaveve trained brazilian jiu jitsu%26quot;
it is important for kids to fit in. find out what kind of jiu jitsu he is taking and ask the sensai what brand he sells, or recommends.|||Well Judo uniforms are different to Karate or Taekwon-do uniforms because they have to be thicker to resist tearing when grappling. So as jujitsu uniforms have to fulfil the same requirements it should suffice. To be honest you%26#039;d be better off asking his prospective instructor though. They might insist on a particular brand or something.|||Wow, no one here answered the question. They are similar in material but the fit is different. A judogi tends to be longer in the skirt part and have wider sleeves.Where as in Jiu-Jitsu it tends to be shorter with more narrow sleeves.A lot of BJJ gi have a rubber layer in the collar to prevent moisture from softening it up and giving it a better feel.brands like Atama,or HCK and Sirius can be found for a good price.I use Koral and love them. A good judo gi can be a little more affordable to start but not by much.Look on eBay and ask the instructor as they may have discounts.
Good luck.|||his instructor should have access and better prices....and they are the same, some companies will sell this one or that one but they are the same and there are many types of gi. get at least a double weaved, which im sure they will all be....thats what important|||Speak with your sons instructor about the uniform and see if you can order it from him, or if he recommends a place to buy it from.

the main differencee betweejudodo and jiu jitsu, and bjj kimonos is the brand.
when i walked into a japanese judo/jiu jitsu class in my krugans brand kimono, the sensai immediately said to me %26quot;I see that yohaveve trained brazilian jiu jitsu%26quot;
it is important for kids to fit in. find out what kind of jiu jitsu he is taking and ask the sensai what brand he sells, or recommends.|||Well Judo uniforms are different to Karate or Taekwon-do uniforms because they have to be thicker to resist tearing when grappling. So as jujitsu uniforms have to fulfil the same requirements it should suffice. To be honest you%26#039;d be better off asking his prospective instructor though. They might insist on a particular brand or something.|||Wow, no one here answered the question. They are similar in material but the fit is different. A judogi tends to be longer in the skirt part and have wider sleeves.Where as in Jiu-Jitsu it tends to be shorter with more narrow sleeves.A lot of BJJ gi have a rubber layer in the collar to prevent moisture from softening it up and giving it a better feel.brands like Atama,or HCK and Sirius can be found for a good price.I use Koral and love them. A good judo gi can be a little more affordable to start but not by much.Look on eBay and ask the instructor as they may have discounts.
Good luck.|||his instructor should have access and better prices....and they are the same, some companies will sell this one or that one but they are the same and there are many types of gi. get at least a double weaved, which im sure they will all be....thats what important|||Speak with your sons instructor about the uniform and see if you can order it from him, or if he recommends a place to buy it from. Hope i helped =]|||just buy a uniform from his academy
In answer to a previous Judo question about the grade belt colours?
Each belt in Judo is a darker colour than the previous belt, so that in theory the same belt can be used al throught the grades, (You can only dye something a darker colour). However, when you get the Black belt you would want a shiny new jet Black one.

What US Judo schools produce the most olympic athletes? Which Judo schools have best reputations by region?
What are considered the top Judo schools in the country? What about West Coast, East coast and Mid West? Which US Judo schools have the most olympic athletes? Where do the elite Judo students train?|||Obviously the Olympic Training Center in Boulder is at the top.
Cohen%26#039;s Judo in New York has great guys.
Ki Itsu Sai in Miami does very well nationally.
Mike Swain%26#039;s school in San Jose does well.
Eddie Liddie%26#039;s and Leo White%26#039;s school in Atlanta is definately top 10.
Honestly most potential Olympic Judokas get picked up by the OTC, so as far as a school that produces the most Olympians, it is the one to beat. Also it makes it hard to find out the schools that originally placed those guys in the OTC, as all of their results inj Tournaments only list the OTC in Boulder as their school. Obviously some other school got them to that level first, but you don%26#039;t always know.
Elite level Judokas are invited to the OTC, (players who earn A Rankings, by placing and winning national and international tournaments).
Hard to say which schools produce the most, I would say that the South has produced quite a few Olympians. Also the New York, New Jersey area has the Cohen%26#039;s (very good Judokas and teachers) and some say they are building up to be as good as the OTC for placing high level competetion.
So I would say East Coast, Cohen%26#039;s Judo. Midwest obviously the OTC in Boulder Colorado, and Then Swain%26#039;s school out in San Jose California.
Most elite level students end up at the OTC, and go on to train internationally, and spend some time with Eddie Liddie in Atlanta (as he is the US Olympic Judo Coach), as well as training with Cohen at least Ideally so. Elite level competetive Judo is a pretty small circle in the US, everyone starts to train together at some point.
Hope that helps.|||Tora-Kai

What is the difference between Judo and Ju Jitsu?
Also if you had the chance to do Ju Jitsu or Judo which one would you pick and why?|||Although many consider the Samurai to have been the greatest swordsmen of all time, they also had to be highly skilled in unarmed combat. Their jujitsu was created by warriors and tested in life and death battles. It was a complete fighting system containing strikes, kicks, throws, joint locks, and strangulation holds. The early jujitsu
practitioners also trained with the sword and the naginata (long bladed spear).
In battle, if disarmed, the samurai utilised his jujitsu skills in a life and death struggle. When faced with a armed opponent, the samurai would most likely have only one opportunity to disarm and kill him. For this reason the samurai would attempt to evade the opponent%26#039;s lunge, and then seize the arm that held the weapon. He would then apply a joint lock to the limb. These joint locking techniques were designed to destroy the limbs by disjointing them and tearing apart the connecting muscles and tendons. The joint lock would most likely be followed up by a strike or kick to a vital area designed to quickly kill or disable the opponent. If
the fight went to the ground the samurai had the skills to quickly strangle his opponent with a variety of choke holds. Although the days of the samurai are gone forever, the fighting techniques they developed on ancient battlefields are still practised today.
While jujitsu was created on the battlefield by warriors, judo was created in peacetime for peaceful purposes. In it%26#039;s early years judo was considered nothing more than one of the various styles of jujitsu.
Eventually judo became the accepted name for the system taught at Kano%26#039;s Kodokan.
Jigoro Kano had an extensive knowledge of jujitsu and always professed that the physical techniques of judo, with the exception of atemi waza (vital point striking), came from jujitsu. The most prevalent jujitsu styles influencing the development of judo were the kito ryu and tenjin shinyo ryu. Although judo contains all of the techniques of jujitsu, it%26#039;s emphasis is placed on throwing techniques. The key to all throwing techniques is in the ability of the defender to unbalance his opponent. Another strong point of judo is it%26#039;s strong ground fighting techniques (Newaza). Atemi Waza (vital point striking) is normally only taught to black belt students. The many strikes and kicks that make up judo%26#039;s atemi waza are the direct result of the 1921 collaboration between Kano and Gichen Funakoshi. Funakoshi in turn added various judo techniques to his shotokan karate system.
The strong point of judo training is that they do the majority of their katas and free sparring against an opponent who is resisting with all his strength. When training in jujitsu and aikido the opponent has to cooperate and go with the technique because of the danger of joint dislocations.
Unlike jujitsu and aikido, judo places a strong emphasis on tournament competition. Rank promotions in judo come from both proficiency in contest and knowledge of the art.|||Hey way to cut and paste your answer from someone eles page. I believe it%26#039;s called plagerism... Report Abuse

When the King of England traveled to Canada in the 40%26#039;s he had a few RCMP officers (Canada%26#039;s FBI) Then took 10 Judo black belts to be his personal security... Up until the 60%26#039;s Judo was 75% traditional self defence and 25% sport fighting. today it is 75% sport fighting and 25% traditional.

Ju Jutsu:
- translates as the gentle technique

- goal is to incapacitate an opponent with minimal injury
- emerged as a martial art in the 1600s according to Judo founder Jigoro Kano
- techniques include joint locks, holds, chokes, throws, and light strikes (atemi)
- was used by swordsmen as the back up art should their swords fail
- there were more than 700 styles of Ju Jutsu during the 18th and 19th centuries; most have merged with the Kodokan in the early 1900s
Judo
- translates as the gentle way
- a sport martial art, one of two martial arts that is an Olympic sport (as of 1964)

- developed by Jigoro Kano in the late 1800s
- techniques include throws, holds, chokes and locks
Jigoro Kano was a Ju Jutsu student and based his new art, Judo, on his learnings in Ju Jutsu. The biggest difference is that Kano created a set of rules to govern and dictate the use of the throws, chokes, pins, etc, rules that truly do not exist outside the competitive sports world of Ju Jutsu. The two main Judo rules are %26quot;Maximum efficiency with minimum effort%26quot; and %26quot; Mutual welfare and benefit.%26quot; In other words, use as little of your energy and body movement to get your results, and use self control when working with a partner and he/she will do the same for you. In Ju Jutsu, the first rule is understood although not stated. The second rule is non-existent, since your welfare is the priority.

How many throws should a judo player focus on?
I realize that Judo requires learning hundreds of throws but in terms of actual competition how many throws should a judo player focus on? I know for each throw you have in your regular bag of tricks there is countless variations on that same throw. So how many throws to focus on? 5 or 6, 10, 3, 25?
Also what types of throws do most olympic caliber judo players master?|||You should concentrate on 2 or 3 forward throws, both natural sided and wrongsided (if you fight right-sided, learn some left-sided throws or vice-versa), 2 or 3 backward throws, and 2 or 3 counters.
Keep in mind that these are only the throws that you should be able to do in your sleep, you still need to be proficent in as many throws as possible, as this helps defense and gives you other options if your gameplan goes wrong.|||All legal throws, of course. If you go for the same throw too much, you become predictable to a smart competitor that is nowhere near even trying out for the olympic team. It%26#039;s no science, it is competition against (sometimes) thinking people.|||How many can you do effectively? When you find the answer to my question, you%26#039;ll find the answer to yours.

If a black belt in Judo wanted to start training in Brazilian Jujitsu what belt rank would he start at?
Would a black belt in Judo earn you a higher starting rank in BJJ?|||You would have to start as a white belt. It is not unlikely that you will be respected for your rank as a sensei (as well you should!) and although you would not be an instructor at the BJJ school I%26#039;m sure they%26#039;ll call on your experience since it will make them better at taking people to the ground.
Your time in grade (color belts) may be shortened due to your achievements in a parallel art but you shouldn%26#039;t have a higher starting point than anyone else beginning that art. (Some schools will actually add a black stripe to your obi so that others in that school will recognize that you are ranked in another martial art).|||you would start at white, if you focused primarily on tachi-waza in judo you would have barely any advantage over the average student, if you spent a lot of time on ne-waza in judo you would advance more quickly than most other students, but you would start at white|||You would start off white but you would have a quicker transition to blue than most|||If you have certification to show your Jujitsu instructor(s) you should be allowed to wear your black belt in class but, you%26#039;ll start off just like the rest of the new students.|||you have to earn all your belts again|||White|||you should always start out white belt,no matter what other style you have taken. Just because you have BB in another style doesnt mean that they will do a technique the way you were trained to do it in your previous style.It could be a better way or it could not. I had a lady call me to sign up for my class, she was a BB in TKD and wanted to be to start out a BB in Aikido. I told her no it doesnt work like that.So she said that she wasnt going to take the class because of it.|||You ALWAYS start at white and work your way up. Previous experience in another style is of no consequence!|||You would start as a beginner because it is a different system.
The respectful thing to do is to tell your new teacher your rank and let them decide.
Also, don%26#039;t focus on rank. It is abstract and does not exist outside the doors of your training facility.
It is just used for organization. Train to improve yourself, not to obtain a title and a colored piece of fabric.|||It has been my experience, in both observation and in talking to other martial artists, that your black belt, in whatever discipline will be recognized; HOWEVER, when changing disciplines, you will have to learn the required techniques and knowledge in your new discipline before you are allowed to advance. Technically you are a novice in your new discipline; depending on the similarities in the styles, it could take you just as long to advance in your new discipline as if you had never studied. As far as wearing your black belt in your new class, It has been my experience that you will be allowed to wear it.|||The very first rank again, despite his assumed skill. My own dream in life is not to master one martial arts, but train in many. The styles have different tactics, and can greaten a person%26#039;s skill greatly if practiced many. If an Aikido master starts training in Kung Fu, he would also beging fresh, because the skill in Kung Fu is defferent than Aikido%26#039;s, therefor must be learned as if no skill had ever been learned.|||No, You%26#039;d be a white belt again, but it would help you progress much faster.|||Within my association I recognize rank.from whatever other discipline someone comes from. Once they join us, we assess them within our own discipline and grade or rank them appropriately. The student then is either presented with a belt equivalent to that assessment or they may wear their former belt until they earn promotion within out discipline to the next grade or rank.
I think this is especially significant with black belt holders from whatever system or discipline they come from. If they have put in the work and effort required to earn black belt, they are significanlty further advanced than complete novice or beginner students to the martial arts who can frequently hardly spell the arts name never mind perform it. A black belt normally comes to another discipline to supplement or advance their knowledge, not be be taught how to tie their belt again.
I have found it disheartening to many novice and beginner students when seniors are put back into programs at white belt. Many times the other students are not completely aware of this, but they see another %26quot;beginner%26quot; working at a far superior level to them and they begin to wonder if they are failing somehow. The black belt has knowledge, experience, and understanding that %26quot;should%26quot; always put them futher ahed on the grading scale within a new discipline.
All of this said, our junior black belts assess color belts coming from another school or disicpline to place them within our program at the appropriate level, while our senior black belts asses black belts in a similar way. We have often seen students who have relative rank that is ahead of the knowledge, understanding, or ability we believe should be associated with that rank. It%26#039;s not for us to question their previous instructor, so we simply recognize this, position them appropriately within our system, and make them learn everything necessary up to that positioning before allowing them to move ahead to the next grade or rank.
I realize many schools use the %26quot;start at white belt%26quot; approach. Philosophically I disagree with that approach for the reasons mentioned above and for a number of other contributory reasons where the starting over approach has negative consequencies. I have seen students in competition been whooped by students who have the same rank but are worlds apart in skill and understanding only to find out they have been graded by their school somtimes six or more levels lower than their exprience. This is one reason why in our tournaments we don%26#039;t ask for rank, we ask for years of training to determine relative experience and division placement.
Ultimately, it is up to each individual instructor who runs a school to decide their school protocol and advancement philosophy. I understand the %26quot;start from the beginning%26quot; idea, but frankly I think it is rather outdated and limiting these days.

Your time in grade (color belts) may be shortened due to your achievements in a parallel art but you shouldn%26#039;t have a higher starting point than anyone else beginning that art. (Some schools will actually add a black stripe to your obi so that others in that school will recognize that you are ranked in another martial art).|||you would start at white, if you focused primarily on tachi-waza in judo you would have barely any advantage over the average student, if you spent a lot of time on ne-waza in judo you would advance more quickly than most other students, but you would start at white|||You would start off white but you would have a quicker transition to blue than most|||If you have certification to show your Jujitsu instructor(s) you should be allowed to wear your black belt in class but, you%26#039;ll start off just like the rest of the new students.|||you have to earn all your belts again|||White|||you should always start out white belt,no matter what other style you have taken. Just because you have BB in another style doesnt mean that they will do a technique the way you were trained to do it in your previous style.It could be a better way or it could not. I had a lady call me to sign up for my class, she was a BB in TKD and wanted to be to start out a BB in Aikido. I told her no it doesnt work like that.So she said that she wasnt going to take the class because of it.|||You ALWAYS start at white and work your way up. Previous experience in another style is of no consequence!|||You would start as a beginner because it is a different system.
The respectful thing to do is to tell your new teacher your rank and let them decide.
Also, don%26#039;t focus on rank. It is abstract and does not exist outside the doors of your training facility.
It is just used for organization. Train to improve yourself, not to obtain a title and a colored piece of fabric.|||It has been my experience, in both observation and in talking to other martial artists, that your black belt, in whatever discipline will be recognized; HOWEVER, when changing disciplines, you will have to learn the required techniques and knowledge in your new discipline before you are allowed to advance. Technically you are a novice in your new discipline; depending on the similarities in the styles, it could take you just as long to advance in your new discipline as if you had never studied. As far as wearing your black belt in your new class, It has been my experience that you will be allowed to wear it.|||The very first rank again, despite his assumed skill. My own dream in life is not to master one martial arts, but train in many. The styles have different tactics, and can greaten a person%26#039;s skill greatly if practiced many. If an Aikido master starts training in Kung Fu, he would also beging fresh, because the skill in Kung Fu is defferent than Aikido%26#039;s, therefor must be learned as if no skill had ever been learned.|||No, You%26#039;d be a white belt again, but it would help you progress much faster.|||Within my association I recognize rank.from whatever other discipline someone comes from. Once they join us, we assess them within our own discipline and grade or rank them appropriately. The student then is either presented with a belt equivalent to that assessment or they may wear their former belt until they earn promotion within out discipline to the next grade or rank.
I think this is especially significant with black belt holders from whatever system or discipline they come from. If they have put in the work and effort required to earn black belt, they are significanlty further advanced than complete novice or beginner students to the martial arts who can frequently hardly spell the arts name never mind perform it. A black belt normally comes to another discipline to supplement or advance their knowledge, not be be taught how to tie their belt again.
I have found it disheartening to many novice and beginner students when seniors are put back into programs at white belt. Many times the other students are not completely aware of this, but they see another %26quot;beginner%26quot; working at a far superior level to them and they begin to wonder if they are failing somehow. The black belt has knowledge, experience, and understanding that %26quot;should%26quot; always put them futher ahed on the grading scale within a new discipline.
All of this said, our junior black belts assess color belts coming from another school or disicpline to place them within our program at the appropriate level, while our senior black belts asses black belts in a similar way. We have often seen students who have relative rank that is ahead of the knowledge, understanding, or ability we believe should be associated with that rank. It%26#039;s not for us to question their previous instructor, so we simply recognize this, position them appropriately within our system, and make them learn everything necessary up to that positioning before allowing them to move ahead to the next grade or rank.
I realize many schools use the %26quot;start at white belt%26quot; approach. Philosophically I disagree with that approach for the reasons mentioned above and for a number of other contributory reasons where the starting over approach has negative consequencies. I have seen students in competition been whooped by students who have the same rank but are worlds apart in skill and understanding only to find out they have been graded by their school somtimes six or more levels lower than their exprience. This is one reason why in our tournaments we don%26#039;t ask for rank, we ask for years of training to determine relative experience and division placement.
Ultimately, it is up to each individual instructor who runs a school to decide their school protocol and advancement philosophy. I understand the %26quot;start from the beginning%26quot; idea, but frankly I think it is rather outdated and limiting these days.

Why does Judo have multiple organizations? Which is the most traditional and which is largest?
I see Judo organizations under the USJA, USJF, USA Judo. Why the multiple organizations for the same sport? Does it matter which one an Olympic aspiring athlete chooses?
Can anyone break down the differences?|||Simple reason, Politics.
Don%26#039;t foget about a USJI
A group of people not liking how one organization is run creates their own, it grows etc.
As far as aspiring Olympic it really doesn%26#039;t matter.
The break down is kind of hard really, mostly politics and a few real differences if any.
The largest is probably USJI, it is what holds the most members, as well as the oldest (I believe).
Dues are so low for most of these places that it is not unusual for Judoka to have a membership in more than one. Most Olympians hold a USJI card and USJA card so that they can compete in events for both.
Big thing is to work up towards Elite level (ranking system is slightly different per organization, hard to explain) by placing in National level tournaments, or qualifying for Nationals by placing the top 3 of a Ladder tournament.
Each competetion has a point system assigned to it, and obviously you want to build up points toward elite level ranking.
Placing in State Level, National Level or International Level (Such as various Opens) grants you a certain amount of points.
You reach Elite status you will be invited to the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, CO. From there you can work out with and get to know other top competetors.
In the year preceding an Olympics they will have Olympic Trials in which you can compete as an Elite level Competetor, if you win you are on the Team, if you place second you are an Alternate.
It is not unusual for any sport to have multiple organizations. Boxing, Kickboxing, (At one point Basketball and Football had different organizations before joining the NFL and NBA). etc
Don%26#039;t worry about the organization, choose whatever group your dojo is affiliated with. Placing at tournaments is the road towards the Olympics.
Good luck to you, I hope to see you there. If you reach Elite status we probably will meet.

But does anyone know how to be good at Judo?

Is it true that Judo is trying to eliminate morote gari from competition?
I heard that there is a movement to ban Morote Gari (double leg takedown) from compeition. Why would they want to do this? If it is such an inferior technique then why do Judo players utilize it when they go into MMA?|||Some people tried to say it should not be done without having a grip prior the technique, like a opening move to surprise the opponent and avoid griping the gi %26quot;properly%26quot;. If done in the middle of the fight would be still permitted.
This people says that its is getting to close to wrestling shoots, and it is not adequate with the spirit of judo. I say they are jealous because people with wrestling training (like the Russians) are beating then because they don麓t know how to sprawl or counter.
It is a propose, does not mean that will pass, actually I don麓t think they have much support since nobody being hurt badly doing or receiving it. Kani basami was banned in competition after Yamashita broke his foot receiving it (video below):
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4yuhq_...
And always being kind of a dangerous technique if not did properly.|||When ever they (the IJF) remove a Judo technique from competition, such as Kani Hasami (the lobster pinch) it is done out of safety reasons. (I%26#039;ve won several matches in the %26#039;70s using Kani Hasami).
I have not heard that morote gari is being removed. That would surprise me since the former Soviet Union Judo team made such a major technique with it. They used several variations (Kazure) of morote gari to win gold medals. So morote gari has been a major tournament Waza for over thirty years.
And its been on the IJF list of waza since 1999.
http://www.judoinfo.com/wazalist.htm|||I haven%26#039;t heard this, but I imagine some of it could be attributed to guys doing it improperly and landing on their head. (i.e. diving through the opponent and as they fall back, Tori%26#039;s head hits the mat).
More than likely they won%26#039;t ban the throw, just heavily penalize anyone who lands on their head. (They do this with several throws already such as Uchi Mata, drop Seoinage, and the rolling version of Sode Tsurikomi Goshi) they are big about not wanting people to hit the mat headfirst and injure themselves, I can see how they might put this same rule on Morote Gari. However out right banning the throw, I highly doubt they would do that.
But as I said, I am pretty in touch with the rules committee types and am a certified ref, I haven%26#039;t heard of such a ban coming down, or anything regarding Morote Gari.
But knowing how they have changed certain rules, I can most assuredly say that more than likely they will change it to that hitting your head is an instant disqualification, to prevent the diving morote gari%26#039;s that have knocked people out. (The people throwing them KOing themselves). If you watched MMA enough, you have seen guys KO themselves with Morote Gari on a few occassions.
They don%26#039;t ban techniques because they are inferior, they ban techniques because of high risk of injury. (Hence the reason Kami Basame is banned, too easy to shatter people%26#039;s knees) It takes a whole lot for a throw to be banned, so more than likely players whose heads hit the mat will be heavily penalized to discourage the diving version of the throw.|||No I heard remove Koka and Wazari Ive also heard Wazari is accumulative and cant stop the fight thats it though.

What is the best Judo dvd introductory course to be combined with a class?
I am looking to study Judo at home and wish to buy some dvds that I can study along with taking a class. It would be just some extra training that I could study outside the class and later try it in class. Does anyone have any suggestions?|||There are very few Judo DVD%26#039;s that aren%26#039;t just fight tapes or a specific Judoka showing you their style.
I would reccomend books instead they list all the katas and show pictures and give explanations on how to do them as well as all of the throws and grappling techniques. Books can also be taking to the dojo with you so you can reference them when training. Ask your sensei he should have a few books you can buy or borrow and you will need or should use them for grading anyways.
Go to Chapters or amazon and search Judo books. I reccomend Kodokan Judo by Jigoro Kano and Competition Judo. All others are either knock offs of Jigoro Kanos writings or ver one sided about that authors specific style or favorate techniques. Trust me I bought 5 books and returned 2 based on the author copying word for word from one book and just adding his own pictures...|||Mike Swain has a very good Judo Newaza DVD set. I%26#039;m definitely glad I purchased it. Of course that focuses on groundwork.
I%26#039;m seen some good DVD%26#039;s with Judo applications for no-gi. Karo Parysian has a good set but it is no Gi.
As far as Judo books I really like the Secrets of Judo.

Should Kodokan Judo be removed from the Olympics?
Judo is being treated as a sport and that is the ruination of any martial art. Should Judo be removed from the Olympics to save Judo?|||Good question! Personally I think Judo should STAY in the Olympics!
The problem is people think they know everything about fighting because they saw a Chuck Norris film! And since Chuck Norris doesn%26#039;t fight in the Olympics then somehow Judo is useless and just a sport! So there attitude is that Judo somehow can%26#039;t be used in a REAL fight!

|||As a Kosen Judoka my feeling on this question is such. I think Judo should STAY in the Olympics however The rules need to be modified and be closer to Internationl Judo or Kosen Judo Competitions.
1)Leg Locks should be reinstated into Olympic Judo Competitions.
2)Ippon Throws should be Much harder to get. You shouldn%26#039;t see alot of Matches at that level of Competition being decided on a Single Throw.
3)Increase the time of Control needed to cause a Pin.

What is the difference between japanese judo from other countries?
i want to know how different is japanese judo from the other countries. How unique it is.|||Each Country or Region has it%26#039;s own competetive style, that is still a blend of being good in all styles.
I would describe Japanese Judo as very calm, very dynamic, very effecient. They aren%26#039;t the shotgun approach to throwing a ton of techniques at you at once, they usually wait for your mistake and capitalize. They tend to focus more on the Standing portion of competetion, while being VERY solid on defense on the ground.
They tend to be well rounded. Great Ippons and Ippon machines like Koga and Inoue. Very very tough, it is not unheard of them to fight with a broken bone or damaged joint. You will very rarely ever see them tap.
Again, they sort of encompass Judo in their style. Very balanced, always calm, clear headed, and essentially mistake free. You won%26#039;t see crazy unorthodox techniques, just incredibly good fundamentals on every level. You won%26#039;t see them trying for flying armbars or low percentage moves, or even doing any wasted techniques. Additionally, they have an answer for pretty much anything you throw at them, you rarely get them in trouble, when you catch them it has to be a solid quick catch. If you are slow in any matter of execution or give them any time to react, they will find a solution and get themselves out of harms way.
While Japanese women Judoka are actually very solid with pins and mat work, and less on the jaw dropping Ippons.
Dutch and Netherlands are generally dominant in the heavyweight divisions (aside from Inoue), very solid and strong Judoka, very powerful. Pretty much standard grip and go types. Very little work on the mat.
Russian Judo is it%26#039;s own beast, very unorthodox grips and throws. A little more balanced, and again more towards the heavier scale.
Britain: Very Newaza oriented, usually very fast in their approach, throwing lots of techniques and chains. Here you will see some really nice submissions and entries in them that you don%26#039;t see. Middle weight and lighter weight fighters that are very good.
France: Good heavyweights, good standup. Decent gripping, all around fighters. Good Newaza defense, standard type of submission skills.
Central South America/Carribean: Usually a good bit of BJJ cross overs, good matwork. Well represented throughout the weight divisions. Usually not a lot of gold medal contenders but solid Judoka.
United States: No Gold medals to date in Olympic competetion. Very ecclectic, representing all ranges. You have guys like Jimmy Pedro who are great mat techniques, and have really unorthodox and dynamic throws, you have strength guys like Rhadi Ferguson (who also has solid matwork), guys like the Cohens with very fast, rapid fire attacks.
Every place has their own sort of style, but you of course find variance. This is just typical type of styles per international competetions from my perspective.
Hope that helps!|||not very.
you might find a japanese master who is really versed in judo more common, but because of the popularity of the art it is really inconsequential.
if it was really all that different then japan would never lose an olympic judo event, yet, they do.
this is because japanese judo masters trained everyone else and have been doing so for quite some time, so while 50 years ago it might have been different when the art was still predominately japanese (the good masters in it) because of its japanese origins, today it is so widesperead with non-japanese learning and excelling in it, there really isn%26#039;t a difference based on ethnicity.
differences based upon the skill of the individual teacher and school are of course case specific and widespread.
EDIT: wow- great answer, I%26#039;ve never noticed a difference between one judoka to the next, but I%26#039;ve never analyzed it that differently. I%26#039;m speaking from what I%26#039;ve noticed at the hobbyist level- you got great breakdown on the higher comp levels i see. I stand corrected.|||Well Technically There Is Only Japanese Judo. Seeing How Judo Is A Japanese Word. But The Only Martial Art Close To Judo I Would Say Would Be Sambo. Sambo Just Has Strikes, Which Aren%26#039;t A Part Of Judo.
But The Big Difference Between Learning Judo In America And In Japan Would Be The Tradition. Seeing How Americans Have Little To No Tradition. And Japanese Is All About Tradition.|||The Japanese do Judo much better.

Britain: Very Newaza oriented, usually very fast in their approach, throwing lots of techniques and chains. Here you will see some really nice submissions and entries in them that you don%26#039;t see. Middle weight and lighter weight fighters that are very good.
France: Good heavyweights, good standup. Decent gripping, all around fighters. Good Newaza defense, standard type of submission skills.
Central South America/Carribean: Usually a good bit of BJJ cross overs, good matwork. Well represented throughout the weight divisions. Usually not a lot of gold medal contenders but solid Judoka.
United States: No Gold medals to date in Olympic competetion. Very ecclectic, representing all ranges. You have guys like Jimmy Pedro who are great mat techniques, and have really unorthodox and dynamic throws, you have strength guys like Rhadi Ferguson (who also has solid matwork), guys like the Cohens with very fast, rapid fire attacks.
Every place has their own sort of style, but you of course find variance. This is just typical type of styles per international competetions from my perspective.
Hope that helps!|||not very.
you might find a japanese master who is really versed in judo more common, but because of the popularity of the art it is really inconsequential.
if it was really all that different then japan would never lose an olympic judo event, yet, they do.
this is because japanese judo masters trained everyone else and have been doing so for quite some time, so while 50 years ago it might have been different when the art was still predominately japanese (the good masters in it) because of its japanese origins, today it is so widesperead with non-japanese learning and excelling in it, there really isn%26#039;t a difference based on ethnicity.
differences based upon the skill of the individual teacher and school are of course case specific and widespread.
EDIT: wow- great answer, I%26#039;ve never noticed a difference between one judoka to the next, but I%26#039;ve never analyzed it that differently. I%26#039;m speaking from what I%26#039;ve noticed at the hobbyist level- you got great breakdown on the higher comp levels i see. I stand corrected.|||Well Technically There Is Only Japanese Judo. Seeing How Judo Is A Japanese Word. But The Only Martial Art Close To Judo I Would Say Would Be Sambo. Sambo Just Has Strikes, Which Aren%26#039;t A Part Of Judo.
But The Big Difference Between Learning Judo In America And In Japan Would Be The Tradition. Seeing How Americans Have Little To No Tradition. And Japanese Is All About Tradition.|||The Japanese do Judo much better.
All other countries rely on strength and view Judo as a sport. Not the Japanese.
How big is Judo in the UK compared to Freestyle Wrestling?
How popular is the sport Judo compared to Olympic styles of Wrestling? I%26#039;m in the US and want to go to University in the UK but I%26#039;m a wrestler and want to know if I should switch to Judo. |||Wrestlings not popular over here at all. Judo would be better.
I%26#039;m sure there are some wrestling clubs but most sports centres do judo, a cllub can be found in almost all towns.

At what age can I start my son with Judo?
I have a very strong and very active 2 and a half year old. My husband and I would like to start him with a martial art. We live in New York City, and there are a lot of places that teach various kinds of martial arts. While the Karate places starts kids at 2 and half, every Judo place that I%26#039;ve called said that the starting age is 4 or 5. Does that sound right? After some research, we decided that Judo seemed like the best martial art, but we don%26#039;t want to wait until he is 4. Any suggestions? Thanks.|||A child that young isn%26#039;t mentally or physically ready for martial arts. As a parent and martial artist, I wouldn%26#039;t start a two and a half year old in karate either. At two, a child doesn%26#039;t have the attention span and understanding for organized martial arts training, not to mention his body simply isn%26#039;t ready for that kind of activity. I don%26#039;t think the skull is fully fused by that age and serious head trauma is possible if a child fell incorrectly or was struck in the head. And they call it %26quot;terrible twos%26quot; for a reason. A child that age doesn%26#039;t have the ability to adequately control their temper or their physical abilities to the degree that they won%26#039;t hurt themselves or someone else accidently.
When my daughter was two we took her to Gymboree and let her play and learn, and the parents are active in the classes so the kids don%26#039;t get out of hand and hurt each other. The judo dojo is wise for only taking kids over 4 years old.|||Just put him in Karate, put him in Judo when he turns 4.|||2 and a half is very young for judo or infact anything that involves grappling it could be dangerous hell i know a lot of adults that cant do it without causeing injuries to people
i would suggest karate or tae kwon do they will give your child lots of fitness and moving around if you really want them to doa grppling thing then take him to karate or tkd and when he is old enough take him out and start him at judo or what ever|||2 1/2 is way too young in my personal opinion. Even 4-5 sounds a little odd. Martial arts are incredible but is sounds like your looking more for a %26quot;sport%26quot;. What%26#039;s wrong with Soccer? He automatically makes like 8-12 friends and he%26#039;s probably going to like it more anyway. People don%26#039;t flip you. I%26#039;m not in judo though, I could be mistaken. Again, It%26#039;s just my opinion.|||I don%26#039;t think any kid should start Martial arts till at the very earlyest 5 years old. It%26#039;s not just him grasping The moves themselfs you have to also see if they can handle it. This goes Double with Judo because Judo is practiced almost at fullspeed and sometime at fullspeed and to a kid feels like wrestling with his friends. For a Child it is one of the most fun arts to learn period. But will your child be able to handle not using this stuff on his friends even just for fun(similar to a kid watching ProWrestling and then playing with his buddys and doing a move he saw)You have to make sure you child understands that. My dad started me at 6 but I was a very mature kid. My Little Brother wasn%26#039;t allowed to start till he was 10. So I would say don%26#039;t let your son start till he is 5 or older.
