Can Greg Jackson MMA Coach help my Judo?
Can Greg Jackson MMA Coach help my Judo? Has he ever done Judo? I want to make the transition from Judo to mma but want to keep my Judo improving.|||hes probably the best mma trainer there is. but if you want to advance your judo stay in judo.
How long will it take for a person to become an olympic level judo fighter?
If he starts training at the age of 31?|||10+ years.|||Starting at 31yrs old would make it extremely hard as 35 yrs old is the oldest Olympic Judo player to compete. You can still be a world champion because Judo never ends for people with the World Master Championship for 30+ yrs old competitors.
So You can still be Olympic quailty player with hard work and the right mind-set.|||olympic people are good.
Train every day between now and then and you might be ready.
Try out when the time comes... either you lost your dream, or you made it there...
martial arts are based on the practitioner..
you can become good quick if you apply yourself honestly and give 110 percent|||you must be a joker, it depends on the skill level, not the age.

How do you open up a Judo Dojo?
What%26#039;s the entire process from the idea to actually instructing?|||the first step is get the money you need to open one.
then go to your county clerks office and get a business license
next find a location. discuss the lease and build out procedures with the landlord.
then buy needed equipment
then buy insurance
then put together a class schedule that has room for growth.
keep in mind that this is just a broad list and there are a lot of small steps withing each of these goals. EX; the build out for me was the hardest because i had to install a bathroom and the place i selected needed a lot of renovations. how i got the money was i included the build out in the lease. normally my lease is 1200 a month but for the first 18 months my lease was 1600 to cover my build out.
Keep in mind that its about at least 10,000 to start.
as for instructing, put together a set curriculum and make sure all your instructors are aware of this. this is not hard because for most martial arts the system is pretty well put together so little modification to the training is needed.
EX: my white belts are required to learn 8 point blocking the first form and the first 6 techniques within Horse stance, half-moon and cat stance. along with Dojo etiquette before they next rank. my instructor knows my Curriculum so he know what to teach when to teach.|||david p has a good list.
i would suggest learn how to run a business take a few course, having an associates degree in business would be better.
you should be at least at the sandan (3rd degree black) level before you open your own dojo.
most organizations can be award the title sensei at 3rd or 4th degree.
the title sensei is separate from rank and is not automatically given.
i would also recommended to start off in a community center or a ymca, and build up a following before you get a store front.
this will give you a chance to see set up your curriculum as well as get your paper work in order, and get some good contacts with suppliers. when you get about 30 students or so that would be a good point to open up a dojo. keep it a few miles away the further you go the more students you will loose. you may have to also give the community center people a special price to get them to come.
people attract people starting a store front with no students is more difficult then if you have a few students. when people see other people working out they will be more curious then if they don%26#039;t see anybody.|||You learn up to Black Belt, preferably higher than First Dan.
You rent a gym with/without mats. Might be cheaper to find one with padded floors, so you wont have to buy them yourself.
After that you need to let people know you%26#039;re there. So use your connections, maybe taking some of your previous students from your previous Dojo. You%26#039;re going to need skilled assistants.
Then after that you%26#039;re all set and all you need to think about is how to afford all of this.

Has anyone ever had to use Aikido or Judo in a real fight and how did you fare?
I studied Shotokan karate for a lot of years and had to use it in real fights and it was very effective. My strong suit was that I could kick very fast, too fast for the opponent to react to it. Anyone use Aikido or Judo in a real fight? Just curious.|||I worked as a bouncer for a few years in university and frequently used judo when I needed to subdue guys, tie up their arms, hold them down, or whatever. It worked extremely well. I also used it in a few minor skirmishes in high school, but the reality was that it has kept me out of more fights than anything else.
I once saw my brother (who had also trained in judo for years) take on one of the toughest guys in town and on the first punch that was thrown my brother used the other guy%26#039;s momentum and threw him in a textbook perfect throw. Fight over, the guy never saw it coming. The reality is that a well-trained martial artist, in almost any discipline, ought to have an advantage against an untrained fighter. Of course, other factors come into play (size, weight, attitude, etc) but good training often makes a massive difference.|||I use to work loss prevention in a large department store chain. I used the concepts and ideas from it mixed with my other martial arts did quite well. All the cops in my town openly admit that if they ever had to fight me they would just shoot me. I as well use to cage fight and again the concepts and ideas work well in that area as well. I haven%26#039;t been in an all out street fight in a long time but I believe that I will be very able to handle it if it ever arose.|||All these guys on here bragging about how tough they are and how many fights they%26#039;ve won should just direct people to their myspace page where they can talk all they want about themselves. REAL fighters don%26#039;t brag on themselves. I%26#039;m not talking about boxers or wrestlers trying to sell PPVs. I%26#039;m talking about real life fighters who are so bad they dont need to tell anyone how dangerous they are. You guys are all just wannabes, and even if you could beat me, I never said you couldn%26#039;t. I%26#039;m just making a point because thats probably the first thing that popped into your feeble minds. True fighters who study martial arts for the reasons for which they were originally intended (not to kick someone%26#039;s a____) don%26#039;t flaunt it. I wish you all would get off your high horses and stop giving martial arts a bad name which is what you are doing.|||Yes, I take ki-aikido ( a branch) and I have found it very effective against people with no greater training than launching a fist. I can throw someone who uses a regular punch in an easy movement. It%26#039;s kind of fun to do.|||It depends, policemen use Judo as their job is to take down bad guys and not hurting them unecessary.
For me, Jujitsu is the best, any opponent with strong martial arts like Karate or T.K.D,once his down to ground, Jujitsu rule.|||I did in school to a popular kid because he was annoying me and thought he only needed pure strenth and i dislocated his knee broke 3 of his fingures and broke his nose I wont ever use it unless it is an emergency|||judo works well as a compliment to shotokan if that is what your real question was ;) but keep the shotokan up its great for fitness and fun|||Hmm... I have a feeling that you are more curious as to weather a soft art will compliment the effectiveness of your Shotokan.
Your mind has already opened. You just need to make your own decision.
~Train well. Live well|||I practice Aikido I recommend combining it with Jeet Kune DO.
I have been in a few real Street Fights. Those 7 guys didn%26#039;t stand a chance.|||I have seen someone who had to use Aikido, and it was quite effective. He was a security guard.

Would Judo and Greco-Roman wrestling be a very effective mma combo?
I do boxing for striking but I want my main focus to be on grappling. Would these two arts be pretty nasty to mix up?|||For grappling, yes, it%26#039;d be a VERY effective combo.
Think of it as a Randy Couture/ Karo Parisyan combo ;)|||Judo yes, Greco Roman no.. because GR relies on the opponent, and you, not moving your lower body...
Judo is super effective,it utilizes leverage, which means a person way bigger than you can still handle you with ease. %26quot;the bigger they are, the harder they fall%26quot; is definitely a Judo saying.|||of course,judo would be a great subtitute for bjj.judo throws and submission + greco clinch and throws = mma just add some striking.kyokushin is also a good subtitute for muay thai.|||If you train your Judo without the gi, and incorporate leg sweeps with the G-R, then yes, this will be very effective. Greco-Roman wrestling and Judo are good for MMA because many people associate takedowns with a shot, so just about everyone (I would say anyone, but we all know Heath Herring doesn%26#039;t) knows how to sprawl in order to stop a double-leg takedown. Judo and G-R rely on standing takedowns, and when used in combination (think a G-R tie-up with a Kosoto Gari from Judo) can be really effective.|||definitely a good mix for your grappling game. with GR you can maintain your control on your clinch, %26amp; with judo you can look for different angles for your takedowns, not just your customary single %26amp; double.|||HELL YEAH!!! everyone love jujitsu but if royce would have came over as a judo praticionner everyone would be doing judo. judo have excellent takedown offense/defense as well, same chokes, locks and joint manipulations as jujitsu. greco is cool as well to learn how to properly control your opponent and to man handle him. go with it bro nice combo.|||Both would be good, but at some point you got to put them together and find a club that trains MMA, Judo and Greco-Roman will teach you control and throwing people, but you also need to be able to effectively strike and avoid strikes while in the clinch and on the ground as well.
My view is simple, if you want MMA, then train MMA. Cross train in other things to specialize if you want, but you have to be integrating all those different elements, not training them in isolation.
Otherwise it%26#039;s kind of like joining two boxing clubs, one that only uses the right hand, and one that only uses the left.|||I would say Judo is great but effective to certain extend becos of the Gi. If you are going to eventually switching over to MMA, you will find that you have a limited range of No-Gi throw and submission from sports Judo. Of cos that shouldn%26#039;t stop you to try out Judo becos it reaps great benefits training.
I can%26#039;t comment much on Greco-Roman since I haven%26#039;t tried it, but I think it is also great becos it is no-gi and the takedown and sprawl is all important aspect of a ground and pound game.

What's the difference between Karate, Judo, Taekwondo and all the rest?
I have no idea whats the differences are...
:) Thanks :)|||My advice is to check out different places and take trial classes. Find an instructor you like and a place you enjoy going to, and the style really becomes secondary.
Here is a breakdown of some common martial arts:
Aikido - uses opponents momemtum and strength against them, redirecting the force, instead of blocking the force. Never engaging strength against strength. Aikido is very defensive.
Judo - Olympic sport, opponents are more engaged with each other and try to use leverage and balance to throw their opponent. Judo is closer to wrestling, there are no punches, no kicks, all throws. You are mostly standing until you are thrown. After a throw, you usually get back up and start over.
Ju-Jitsu (Brazilian and Japanese) - Brazilian ju-jitsu is more of a grappling, ground fighting system, where the object is to submit your opponent through joint locks (such as an armbar or kimura) or you can choke your opponent out by getting in a dominant position and using a combination of your arms and or legs to choke them (triangle choke uses legs, rear choke uses arms). Your opponet %26quot;taps%26quot;, to signal his submission and the match is over.
Karate - Karate originates in Okinawa, but many styles were adopted and modified in Japan. There are many different types of Karate (Shotokan, Gen-wa-ki, Kempo, Kenpo, Kyokoshin, Goju, Isshin-Ryu). Karate also usually incorporates weapons training into it%26#039;s system using the traditional Budo weapons (Staff, Nunchaku, Tonfa, Kama, Sai). Empty hand Karate utilized punches and kicks and the training usually involves serious %26quot;toughening%26quot; of your entire body.
Kendo is sword/stick fighting. They where a type of armor/face shield and fight with bamboo swords.
Tae Kwon Do - TKD is almost like 3 different martial arts. TKD comes from Korea. It is is an official Olympic sport and some TKD practitioners train exclusively in this version of the art. TKD is also a practical self defense system that is utilized by the Korean military and secret police. It is often taught in conjunction with another Korean martial art called Hapkido, which uses small joint (wrist, fingers, ankles) manipulation and submission tactics. There are also different types of TKD, such as Moo Du Kwan or Han Mu Kwan. One of the unique things about TKD is that they have a global governing body that unifies all of the forms (Poomse or Kata) and standards required for promotion. So let%26#039;s say you are a blue belt or %26quot;5th Geup%26quot; in Korea, you are learning the exact same form as a blue belt in California, or Europe, or anywhere else in the world. TKD is also unique in that it%26#039;s ratio of kicking techniqes to hand techniqes is about 80% kicking to 20% hand techniques.
Kung Fu/Tai Chi - Chinese in origin. Although Tai Chi can be used in self defense, it is primarily used as exercise around the world. It is believed by many that there are many unexplainable health benefits in practicing Tai Chi. The Chinese believe that all life has an inner force called %26quot;Chi%26quot;. Tai Chi is a means of channelling and releasing one%26#039;s Chi and therefore reaping the benefits.
The concept of Chi is not exclusive to Tai Chi. It is part of all types of Chinese Kung Fu and is known as %26quot;Ki%26quot; in Japanese and Korean martial arts. The concept is typically considered part of all traditional martial arts.
Hope this helps....
James|||Karate is mainly controlled kicks, punches and fists, a %26quot;hitting%26quot; martial art as taekwondo is, but the second is much more focused on kicks.
Judo is throws, armbars chokes and controlling positions on the ground.
Aikido is lighter, cleaner and more artististic, mainly focused on defense and armbars or other leverage.
Ju-jitsu is the whole lot before being divided and especially developed in the aforesaid martial arts.
Budo includes all these japanese arts plus weapon arts as Kendo, swords and other, mainly all that deriving from the ancient techiniques from the samurai which later turned into martial arts between the end of 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century.
Each martial art has several styles depending on the school or grandmaster.|||Just like religions they all have different interpretations on the same theme|||Perhaps if you narrowed that question down a little you would have a better chance of getting a definitive answer.|||Its like food, everybody has different taste.|||They each have there own techniques and rules.|||OK Tae Kwon Do and Karate are considered a striking Martial Art while Judo is a Grappling Art.
But Karate and Tae Kwon Do, also do grappling as well but their main focuses is on the striking part of the art. While the opposite is the thing for Judo. So of the other Striking Martial Arts that you might of heard of are Muay Thai, Kickboxing, Boxing, Savat and the Kung Fu styles (there are many kung fu styles)
While some well know grappling arts are Akido, Brazilian Jiu - Jitsu, Judo, Sumo and Wrestling (not WWE and that other fake stuff).
I consider Tai Chi to be a bit of the both so it is a bit hard to fit it in with one focus or the other so I think I%26#039;ll leave Tai Chi as a bitser (one of both).
Here is a link that will tell you a lot about all the Martial arts that I have told you about as well as some more, Have a look.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martial_Art...|||The difference is in how much each style venerate the progenitors of their style, usually along racial, nationalistic terms; based of course on far eastern cultures of ancestor worship. These stories range from the probable - %26quot;He was a good soldier- to the improbable- %26quot;He could fire a Chi ball and knock out an army%26quot;. For a western example, North American Karate worship the 10th degree black belt more than anything, so everyone gets to create their own style to become one. Bruce Lee took Kung Fu (Gung Fu) from his ancestors and made great movies, now he himself is venerated beyond all rationality. (who would win, a Tsunami or Bruce Lee ect....)
Taekwondo is a Korean placebo designed to help raise nationalistic self esteem, caught between so many competing Asian cultures, so Korea sent out lots of 8 to 10 degree black belts to teach, but this is of course based on Japans sponsorship for Judo a generation ago.
Current fads to study are Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and MMA legends in the making. Clearly noble heroes who will have extinguished volcanoes and subdued global warming, and united humanity with their ground grappling skills, according to their deeply devoted disciples in just a few years time.
Basically all are vehicles by which tough guys needing to test their manhood and prove validity, as has been the case since caveman days. (much like how peopel act on blogs)
IMO you might be better served if you were to check out Gates Jitsu, or Buffet Kwon Do, or Trump Chi if you really want to raise your self esteem, ward off bullies or impress the ladies. You might not be a killing machine but with enough practice you will transcend culture and nationalistic ego with your VISA limit, and you can always buy a well trained and style indoctrinated thug when you need your dirty work done. Its always been that way.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martial_Art...|||The difference is in how much each style venerate the progenitors of their style, usually along racial, nationalistic terms; based of course on far eastern cultures of ancestor worship. These stories range from the probable - %26quot;He was a good soldier- to the improbable- %26quot;He could fire a Chi ball and knock out an army%26quot;. For a western example, North American Karate worship the 10th degree black belt more than anything, so everyone gets to create their own style to become one. Bruce Lee took Kung Fu (Gung Fu) from his ancestors and made great movies, now he himself is venerated beyond all rationality. (who would win, a Tsunami or Bruce Lee ect....)
Taekwondo is a Korean placebo designed to help raise nationalistic self esteem, caught between so many competing Asian cultures, so Korea sent out lots of 8 to 10 degree black belts to teach, but this is of course based on Japans sponsorship for Judo a generation ago.
Current fads to study are Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and MMA legends in the making. Clearly noble heroes who will have extinguished volcanoes and subdued global warming, and united humanity with their ground grappling skills, according to their deeply devoted disciples in just a few years time.
Basically all are vehicles by which tough guys needing to test their manhood and prove validity, as has been the case since caveman days. (much like how peopel act on blogs)
IMO you might be better served if you were to check out Gates Jitsu, or Buffet Kwon Do, or Trump Chi if you really want to raise your self esteem, ward off bullies or impress the ladies. You might not be a killing machine but with enough practice you will transcend culture and nationalistic ego with your VISA limit, and you can always buy a well trained and style indoctrinated thug when you need your dirty work done. Its always been that way.
Why does the military use JUDO over Wrestling?
i have spoken to 5 different military instructors and they said that it is %26quot;proven%26quot; more effective than wrestling?
i asked them you dont wear gis. and they said that soilders were uniforms, coats, sweaters, and that the throw a lot without them.
so why does the military use judo over wrestling? like how is there a big difference?|||I have had the honor of teaching military men over the years and found the development of the combat mindset and the study of the art of war was the most important.
the fighting method comprised of fighting techniques with rifle and bayonet, bladed weapons, weapons of opportunity (stick, club, gun), and unarmed combat; combative conditioning -- the ability to fight while fatigued in a combat environment; and combat sports -- boxing, wrestling, BJJ , Judo and bayonet fighting.ect
However interestingly the Marine Corps LINE system has evolved into MCMAP. All U.S. Marines must learn and become proficient in.
The Marine Corps Martial Arts Program, implemented in October 2000, is a natural extension of these basic tenets. Although it is a skill progression program offering martial arts training through a system of belt rankings, from tan belt through 6th degree black belt, it is much, much more. It is a reflection of our warrior ethos that provides a vehicle for enhaced unit cohesion and increased self-worth.
Like marksmenship training, this program provides our Marines with additional tools that they can use on the battlefield. It will require a consistent individual investment of time to develop and master the skills. The benfits of improved self-esteem, mental discipline, and personal pride are worthy of the investment and provide substantial returns for our Corps. To realize these benefits, we must embrace the concept as well as the training. We must incoporate it in the daily lives of our Marines, much as we currently do with physical training. We must make it readily availiable to them as we do our Semper Fit Programs. A Marine should be able to train during his lunch hour, after work, or on the weekends. We must assimilate this training until it is second nature and as much apart of our ethos as sit-ups, pull-ups, and a 3-mile run. To further instituionlize the program and promote a career long commitment to maintaining proficiency, we are exploring the possibility and viability of linking it to the performance evaluation system and promotions.
Purpose %26amp; Goal
The immediate goal of MCMAP is to have all Marines, both active and reserve, trained to tan belt by the end of FY-03. The long term goal is to have every infantryman, grade appropriate, trained to brown belt, other combat arms trained to green belt, and all other Marines trained to gray belt by the end of FY-04.

5) 6TH DEGREE BLACK BELT: MGySgt ans Sgt Maj/LtCol or above (Waiverable one grade by CG TrngCom - Fully justified)|||I suspect that wrestling is much to general in nature and also does not typically include things like chokes, or strangle holds like Judo does. Not only that but it%26#039;s effectiveness is much more established and and recognized by many non practitioners who actually have the final say in the training of the military. Judo by its rank system, established standard techniques, and its exposure through the Olympics and in AAU competition has a big edge over just %26quot;Wrestling%26quot; . This is all evolving as we speak as I saw a head line of an article in the Navy times last month, I think, that the Marine Corps had decided to scrap their hand-to-hand, mixed martial arts combat training program but I did not get a chance to buy it so who knows what that is all about.|||Becausssssse wrestling isn%26#039;t self defense?|||The reality is martial arts for self defense and martial arts for contests are two separate things Judo is about defending yourself and taking your enemy out of commision quickly where as wrestling is more about defeating your opponent by being able to take him to the ground and keep him down or making him submit. One is about defending yourself the other is about defeating your opponent within the rules of the game.|||judo has less rules... and is thus more realistic....|||Russian Spetsnaz special forces uses mixed art called %26quot;System%26quot; It has a lot of Aikido elements with some Judo and other forms. But I think in military combat you need to disarm your opponent as quick asp. And Judo is a quicker way to do it compare to wrestling|||its not that wrestling isnt good for self defense it just has to with the fact that judo is better. When i say it is better wrestling is mostly pins and take downs. judo there are crazy large throws armlocks chokes etc. i mean would you rather pin someone or choke them in a life death situation|||The main advantages of judo are that is has submissions and chokes which wrestling does not.
Also a lot of their moves and submissions use clothes to apply them.Collar chokes etc.
However it depends what countries miltary. Quite a few prefer wrestling and some use neither.|||idk why either|||Because it%26#039;s easier to kill someone with a knife or gun when they aren%26#039;t wrapped around you with a full nelson. Judo gets them just far away enough and a judo strike can silence someone quickly. Wrestling just makes noise and lets the bad guy too close to your vitals.|||i see your point and in my opinion both are very viable fighting methods. i think the problem is that here in america we teach wrestling as a watered down scholastic sport and not as a martial art. as used in high scool and collegiate competition few submissions are allowed, grinding the teeth from wrestling%26#039;s combat usefulness. no one will ever win a fight simply by pinning them, something must follow it. this is where mma wrestlers have supplemented their game with submissions and striking with much success. judo was introduced after wwII and was seen as the mystical fighting secret from the orient. as a sport it allows chokes and other submissions retaining the combative tools american wrestling has given up. the throws utilized by judo suit the battlefield better than leg shots or striking because of the equipment worn by soldiers and the tactical needs of the soldier-put the enemy down with as little danger to yourself as possible, and keep moving to the next enemy combatant. having said this, soldiers like any martial artist benefit from well roundedness and the current programs used by the marines incorporates muay thai, jiu jitsu and wrestling to its combat judo. the army has incorporated gracie jiujitsu, but the new emphasis on ground fighting may prove questionable.|||Being a Marine and a judoka let me weigh in here. The posts above were right on about the chokes and throws. The throws are especially effective because your fist will never hit as hard as the concrete that you can forcefully propel your opponents head into. If he%26#039;s still conscious from that judo is a sport but is much more %26quot;combatives%26quot; oriented... Break an arm, choke him till he stops wiggling. I know wrestlers that can take a judoka on the mat, but what are you going to do an %26quot;enemy%26quot; if you only submit him? Stand up and say good match?|||I don%26#039;t know, maybe because Wrestling is so sports-specific in America, while Judo also is viewed as a martial art. So I think it%26#039;s a matter of view rather than quality of the style. Both are quite effective in my experience.
