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.

What's the difference between judo and ju-jitsu?
I know that ju-jitsu has %26quot;Part 1%26quot; which has some basic strikes, but aside from that, is there any difference between judo and ju-jitsu?|||Well now, I%26#039;ll explain this to you, having being in judo for only about nine years is still enough time to know some basic differences between the two. Judo was derived from jujitsu some time in the late 1890%26#039;s i believe, by Master Jigaro Kano, there were many reasons behond why he did this, the most humourous one was that he was so much shorter than his opponents in tournament, and he would usually fail against these larger opponents in the striking aspect (in actuallity there is a great deal of striking in jujitsu, i hope you%26#039;re not comparing brazillian jujitsu and judo or else i am giving you the wrong instruction haha, well acutally brazillian jujitsy is easy to explain, it%26#039;s all of teh groundwork of judo with leglocks and a few other techniques that are banned in tournament, yeah, so brazillian jujitsu was taken from judo which was taken from real jujitsu) the rules of a jujitsu tournament for a win were either you a) Knocked the opponent unconsious b) put them is a submissive position where they gave up by either a verbal response or a tap, or c) threw the opponent so that they landed on thier back. So there was a good deal of striking in jujitsu, but it wasn%26#039;t sparring neccisarily for every technique was made for either a knockout, a submission or a throw, or any combination of the two (submissions that cause a knockout, or a throw that causes a broken arm, be inventive and you can begin to see how these things fit together) So as it was Jigaro Kano%26#039;s opponents were using striking against him because it was obvious that that was his weakness, blah blah, i%26#039;ve been over this too many times. Jigaro Kano took the throwing and the submissive techniques, devised more throws, removed some of the more dangerous and barbaric techniques out, and that was the basis for judo. Jigaro Kano spent his entire life developing judo with his three top students (sorry i can%26#039;t remember thier names right now) but since then it has slowly been developed through many cultures and what not and is now the judo you see today. I hope i answered your question, if not that%26#039;s ok, you killed a couple of minutes on my way out the door to boxing. I still find it hard to believe that you thought the two were almost the same... ok i%26#039;ll kill some more time, i%26#039;ll jog instead of walk because i%26#039;m not a little ****** haha. the name of judo means %26quot;the gentle way%26quot;, after judo tournaments started becoming popular, jujitsu tournaments were beginning to be seen as barbaric and judo took a massive jump in popularity. in my personal opinion judo is a martial art in every sense, in fact i believe that it is judo where the %26quot;art%26quot; in martial arts comes from, it is the second most popular sport in the world (the first being soccer) it was the first martial art ever allowed in the olympics (boxing and kckboxing are sports, not martial arts, although it is closer to a martial art than any other sport really, it should have it%26#039;s own genre with roman greco wrestling.)|||a mix between karate and judo simple Report Abuse
|||JuJitsu is based from Judo, but in Judo, if my memory serves me correctly; you cannot use strikes to weaken the opponent, whereas Jujitsu can use only a limited amount of strikes so you can get into position for a pin or submission, Judo works strictly for no strikes much like greco roman wrestling to get a submission or pin.|||http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judo

Judo is more of a sport but doesn%26#039;t necessarily have to be taught that way. Ju-jitsu is suppose to be much older back in the times of the Samurai or at least have roots. You get Judo from Jitsu.
Best of luck.|||ju-jitsu has been around longer and it takes more physical training,trust me i know|||Ju Jitsu is mostly concerned with submission and using strikes directed at vital organs/targets. Judo is akin to greco roman wrestling in which the object is to take an opponent off their feet and onto the ground.|||ju-jitsu is what Neo does in the Matrix.....|||Jujitsu is a %26quot;koryu%26quot;-literally old school, that is a classical Japanese martial art intended for warfare. If a Samurai happened to be disarmed jujitsu was intended for his personal defense. The do suffix indicates that judo is a modern martial art, or %26quot;gendai budo%26quot;. Jitsu means combat, and do means way. Ju means passive, as in using your opponents strength against him.
After the Meiji restoration in 1869 ended the Samurai class the classical martial arts were developed into modern martial arts to keep them relevant. Hence kenjutsu begat kendo as there was no more need to actually kill people with swords. So the potentially lethal moves, eye gouges etc. were dropped from jujitsu to create judo. Aikido was also developed from jujitsu. Karatedo has no classical antecedant.

What are some good judo throws for tall guys?
I am 6 foot and I have a hard time getting my hips under people to throw them (especially short guys). What are some good judo throws and sweeps for tall lanky guys?
and also what are some good tips for tall guys to pull off throws?|||Ask your Sensei...that is what they are there for. Why take advice from people that do not know you or have experience training you. The best advice comes from the Sensei that knows you best. Good luck.|||Set up with tai otoshi and of course if they weasle out of it immediately follow up with osoto gari. It%26#039;s a cruncher!
I just started exploring this combo and my success rate during randori has been 100% thus far. My bread and butter was the drop knee ippon seoi nage and the low single leg take down, but they are now more or less illegal where I train (Saigon, Viet Nam). Also consider the ever simple tsuri goshi. That way you can pull yourself into their hips to execute. More or less.|||Try dropping to your knees to get under them.

As a beginner in Judo, what kind and brand of Judogi should I buy? What do the different weaves mean?
In my Judo class we are to provide our own uniforms and I am unsure of what kind to get. Any help would be very appreciated!|||Judogi%26#039;s can be either functional and cheap or frilly and super expensive. for a beginner, a single weave judogi will do just fine. they are less expensive and therefore easier to replace if you lose/gain a significant amount of weight.make sure that it is a judogi though... a karate gi or some other single weave will rip in about 15 seconds. I started judo about 3 years ago and still have my first gi... a single weave from KI intl.
once you start competing more seriously you will want to invest in a a double weave, but it will cost more.
before you buy anything you must 1) ask your sensei what he recommends... he can probably get it for cheaper, 2) when you buy ask how much it will shrink in the wash. some shrink more than others but generally after two washes and dries, all the shrink is out, and 3) don%26#039;t buy blue... blue is for pansies.
if you%26#039;re intersted this is the website for www.KIintl.com I think they are the best cheap gi out there. Wash twice, dry in drier twice before you wear it to class. might need to hem the pants, but this gi should last you. hang to dry after initial shrink/wash/dry sequence.
hope this helps.
ps. i was serious about blue gi%26#039;s... they really are for homos.|||why don%26#039;t you ask your instructor? Your instructor may have a connection for getting them cheap as he/she probably gets asked a lot...

How do most Judo schools practice throws? How many times do you actually get thrown?
I%26#039;m sure there is variation from school to school. I know some schools do fitting the throw 5 times and throw on the fifth throw. Sometimes it is go work on the throw and throw everytime.
Do Judo schools have any type of thought on how many times the actual throwing should be done. I have to say it is not fun when you are working with someone new and he is throwing you over and over again to learn a move. Especially when the new person can%26#039;t get it right.
What are the norms at most schools?|||The norm would be to practice everything as much as posible regardless of whether you are doing it with an experienced Uke or a beginer. We have to learn from and help teach help everyone that trains with us, so we can all improve.
Judo like all Martial arts and in my oppinion more so. Can only get better with and needs to be practiced our whole life not just for a few years and that%26#039;s it. Yes I agree with you though that some people take longer than others to get used to being thrown so they get really rigid and it makes it hard to practice on them. But as far as them throwing you, whether it is Uchi Mata, Tai Otoshi or Ipon seionegi the fact is you are getting thrown to the mat regardless of whether or not their technique is good. So I don%26#039;t see the issue there. Jus help them by going over the steps of the throw with them. Show them the proper Kesushi (hands technique for the throw) as well as the foot movements. Then do a bunch of uchi komi%26#039;s start off slowly by just doing the Kesushi (hands) first. Then add the feet. Throwing is only an end result of doing the other 2 things properly. If you have good strong hand techniques added to your hip when you turn in, your Uki should just go over with little effort.
I have been training on and off since I was 4 and I still practice Osoto Gari, breakfalls and basic holddowns. And those are the things beginers learn. Just be humble in your training and never stop learning.|||Dunno if I%26#039;m qualified to answer your question since i don%26#039;t practice Judo. But in our Aikido training, beginners are usually paired with mid level practitioners since mid level training focuses on ukime more. In a way it%26#039;s hitting two birds with one stone, the beginner gets to practice his throw all he wants and the mid level practitioner gets to train on his breakfall skills and builds up stamina from the continous repetition of falls. Same rule applies between mid level and high level Aikidokas. And it%26#039;s kind of an unwritten rule in our dojo that a higher level practitioner should never refuse to act as an uke(practice dummy) to a lower level practitioner as a sign of humility and to set an example for all lower levels. As for him not getting it right the first time, we usually set a time duration for learning one technique, usually a month(actually, it%26#039;s one Nage waza or throwing technique and one Katame waza or floor pinning technique) and since we train 6 days a week, there%26#039;s no need to cram it all in just one session. And if he still doesn%26#039;t get it right, he%26#039;ll still be able to train on it after the lessons during randori sessions, plus the lessons are usually reviewed after six months before promotion to the next level. The point of which is that if he doesn%26#039;t master that technique, he won%26#039;t advance up the ranks. If he takes the exam and fails, he needs to retrain for another 6 months before he can retake the exam, so the motivation to learn is great, either that or he doesn%26#039;t take the exam til he has mastered it, either way, he will master it :-)|||When I was practicing Judo we alternated with your partner doing the throws several times each.
