  • i love how he said he was off by inches but i say he was miles away

  • the judoka at the end was probs going about 20% effort.

  • Excelllent episode! 

  • Also, 10th Planet's no-GI posture is still atrocious.

  • Judo is used by a lot of cops because of how practical it is for street encounters. A drop onto concrete is not forgiving. Hell, my sensei often points out with Osoto Gari that if you do it too hard and his skull hits the concrete...you get the idea.

  • I wonder if you can apply a judo technique in a real life situation. And i don´t mean ne waza (obviously why, is not good fighting in the ground when you are on the streets). I wonder this because all the techniques i see depends so much on the gi that i´m really insecure. I mean, is not like taking a judogi and say "hey man, before punching me, please put this on". Don´t get me wrong, i´ll start judo soon but this makes me worry a little bit. Sory for my english

  • @GoobleCakes ..Judo is perfect for the street, everyone wears clothes so all you need to do is grab the attackers jacket or shirt, one throw and they are fucked on hard ground.

  • last one is tai otoshi

  • I belive Okawa talk english better than Jason or the other football player guy, wonder why they sub title him. Nice episode, it's too funny when they say "it's a real martial art" at the end.

  • Dang! that guy has 22 years experience, he looked like he was 22. Respect given, evergreen!

  • Jason you poor fellow. You got your ass handed to you, stop being so cocky. Be humble, respect your opponent and most importantly stop talking out of your ass.

    "My MMA background blah blah, my experience in blah blah...my speed and force blah blah..." Nobody cares, shut up and learn.

  • @pesusieni I am with you on that, teacher talks you listen. Jason thinks he knows everything already.

  • never hade a chance :P

  • I think Bill Would have done better in that fight....but whatever.

  • LOL, the cameraman in the background @ 6:54 vanishes. Judo or Voodoo?

  • I just missed it, he only just won, I could have beat him, I am amazing, missed him by inches. Jason is a douche sometimes he cant of seriously thought he would beat him

  • I think the fight was pretty personal for Jason. After all, Judo won over Jiujitsu during the Police's selection for their martial arts. Jason wanted to prove them wrong. I know I would. Good job, Jason.

  • that guy would even lose if it was a jiu jiutsu rule match..the judo guy would just sweep and stay on top position all the time, until the match ends

  • I wanted to see Bill fight. Jason is just an egotist.

    Jason: [laughs condescendingly] "I'm gonna go with speed and technique on this one, Bill".

    Final score 3-0.

    "Missed it by inches" (missed by more than a foot, guy saw it coming a mile away).

    Boo Jason! Go be a shampoo model somewhere, get over yourself.

  • Karate is fail but Judo looks cool sadly its not the best ;(

    LMFAO '' With his weight i was never going up '' he said he was fat loool

  • Karate is fail but Judo looks cool sadly its not the best ;(

  • first round feeling out my opponent. thats what she said ;) at (5:05)

  • havent seen an episode where bill fights. lol already watched four of these

  • amazing man...i love history channel and the way they take the time to analyze things....it's simply amazing...thnx

  • @DIVON39 watch French Savate.

  • Bill would have done better

  • @Dominus96 Are you sure, i mean did you hear him talking about how he would just use his brute force/bull run to defeat him, witch basicly goes agaist the principals of judo.

    If he had done a bull run any experienced judeca would have done a sacrifice and compleatly destroyed him.

  • 4 gays practice bjj

  • Well in my opinion, 22-23 years of experience means JUDO is his life. You cant keep on saying Jason this or Jason that. Jason tried using his fundamentals too, just that he knows and feels the opponents momentum and C.G for years now. How about you guys fight that guy instead?

  • Hey Jason held out against a guy who trained in Judo for 22 years! That's really impressive. Those moves are harder than they look...

  • its ok jason, i got flogged at my first comp too

  • why does he use tape on his fingers/feet?

  • @brenoakiy to prevent his nails to injure the oponent

  • @alexguerreiro15 what about his ankle?

    btw, vc é brasileiro?

    lol

  • @brenoakiy sou portugues sobre o calcanhar deve ser por causa dos tendoes perto do calcalnhar

  • @brenoakiy To prevent injuries. You can injure your fingers gripping the gi.

  • "I went for the tomoe-nage but he shifted the momentum" Jason sais. Looks more like another bad attempt at a flying armbar

  • Bill looks badass like a 6 foot Sohei monk

  • The Japanese guy was seriously going easy on Jason.

  • ive noticed the whole school does left handed throws...i think its to get their opponent unfamiliarized with fighting 

  • This show was recorded a couple of years ago. It wasn't until this past year when judo changed the rule that you could only do leg grabs as counters to throws. Before last year, lots of judo players would perform leg grabs for takedowns. Too bad they had to change the rules because kata garuma (fireman's throw) was one of my favorite throws.

  • 5:52 lol

    "am i sweating or something?"

  • when were these shows recorded? they kept talking about going for leg take downs, and please correct me if I am mistaken, but aren't leg take downs only legal in competitive judo as counters to throws?

  • shoulda put the big guy in

  • Reading through some of the comments. Judo still has some striking techniques called Atemiwaza but they are only in the Katas (forms) and not in Olympic style Judo that is mostly taught. If anyone is interested in learning them find a place that teaches Kimi-no-kata and Goshin-no-jitsu (which they showed some of in the show) which are the self-defense Katas.

  • As a Judoka I thought this episode did a good job explaining Judo and its history, although some of Jason and Bill's pronounciation was atrocious. The last fight though wasn't much as Okawa really seemed to take it easy and even though Jason thinks he came close he was nowhere near his submissions. It looked like some of the randoris at the Budokan seemed more interesting.

  • Lol, i laugh when i read these comments of how Jason wouldn't have won, that he was nowhere near a triangle or just slamming on Jason. Lol they only did these martial arts in a week. Give them a break.

  • I find it funny how jason thinks he almost catches him a few times even with that triangle nowhere near on, and that he wouldent have been able to throw anyone in that dojo (fact)

  • Jujutsu --> Judo --> Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

  • @verhoogje BJJ + Judo la combinacion perfecta !!!!!!......y el emigrante japones que le mostro jiu jitsu a la familia Gracie era un Judoka de la escuela de Gigoro Kano...

  • jason is kind of annoyin .. everything he says is him havin a BJJ bacground.. plys hes kinda cocky fukkin fagget

  • @hghost08 Blow Job Jason

  • if the referee let the triangle choke happen that would have been an Ippon but he knew his student had to keep his reputation

  • I learned much more from Judo than just throws, pins and locks. The philosophy of using a foes energy to my advantage transitions into practically every aspect of my life.

  • @leka1622 I know right? Cooking, writing, arguing, map-reading, falling asleep, watching TV, particle physics: it's all way easier when you know judo.

    Taking a shower is effortless when I can use the shower's energy against it!

  • @Maqqa27 lol well, I did say practically and I was actually referring to social interactions.

  • wow i thought judo is a sport or just a great art it was deadly weapon that u can use it for killing not only for self defence

  • Okawa means "big river", and Jason sank like a stone.

  • Judo would be very good in street fights. Come on, you just throw your opponent down and smack his head with a rock. No more gay BJJ, too complicating.

  • Man I wish there was a freakin Ryu or whatever in my town so I could train in Judo.

  • Judo is truely a great art.

  • good grief! 22yrs practice! (the guy in white during the "faceoff"). It looks like he is relaxed and almost bored at times! lol.

  • does judo have ANY good striking theory principle or techniques?

  • @thegodofpop1 Judo is mainly a "Gentle Art" Meaning, throwing kicks and punches aren't the most likely thing.

  • @thegodofpop1 they do, just mostly removed because of the modern day "sport" judo

  • @atgblue1 well as far as im concerned it only has tenkan. no striking. however, jujutsu does. but concerning ur answer wut style of "combat" judo has striking.

  • @thegodofpop1 yeah thats what I meantl. It doesn't necesarily have "hitting" moves, but it does have moves for kililng, or taking down in a violent way etc. So like for practical street defense, some of those moves would be nice to know. Personally, I would love to take the japanese police class that they take.

  • @atgblue1 well obviously lol. its one of the MOST effective arts out there. and it has proven itself time and time again. i was just asking if it had any coordinated stand up philosophies to follow.

  • @thegodofpop1 it does use weapon strikes later on when you get close to black belt but other wise its mainly deadly throws or chokes and holds.

  • @Aaronistough1 well its more ethical lol. u dont have to knock a guy out to get respect. just save him and urself and u'll be good firneds ;)

  • I love this show too bad is off the air:(

  • @Khlanghue why is it off the air

  • @Khlanghue yeah Bill and Jason had enough of getting their asses kicked.

  • Lol my life dream would be to run away to the mountain forests and train with some old dudes descended from ancient warriors. lol these guys are lucky bastards.

  • missed him by inches!

  • Judoka was having fun nothing else :))

  • signature mma move??? wtf that's more of a kosen judo move or japanese jiu jitsu..."signature" my arse!!!

  • This is funny, the Japanese guy was sooo relaxed to this match. He could throw the blue one anytime he wanted :)

  • Man if you would be allowed to wear a gi in mma fights, this would be great! not every fight with gi, but some would be very cool.

  • The Japanese really brought their A game to this match. They sure as hell didn't fob him off on any second rate judoka.

  • Judo is the best

  • beautiful taiotoshi

  • i knew bill wanted to fight .. that would be something

  • are double leg takedowns legal in judo ?

  • yes

  • Not anymore. It's called morote gari, but it has recently been taken out of Shiai and Randori (comp. and sparring).

  • I forgot to add, I'm not sure if the took it out in Japan, maybe just the IJF.

  • @Ryanbassist a good martial arts school will teach you things that are not legal in competition

  • Yeah, it is, but I think it's recent because in old Jujitsu if you tried that, you were gonna get stabbed in the back lol

  • damm i wanted to see bigggun take him

  • Last "taiotoshi" was pretty neat. I think the judo guy I think his name was Okawa could finish this whenever he wanted.

    I would love to see their ground work w/o mate, stop in japanese.

  • well striking is useful learning MMA striking will help you finish fights before the need for grappling happens whats the chance that a guy is guna try grapple with you in a street fight hes more likely to just punch you out not saying that judo/bjj arnt useful its just they can be rendered useless sometimes take karo parisyan for example

  • @js0290 No one take any notice to this idiot.

  • and another thing just giving out tips, never think of fighting as pain or even a fight, think of it as a video game or a game of chess its all setting up moves and taking advantage of the opponents mishaps

  • see how he trained for 22 years, and he doesnt use any strength and doesnt try 2 pull of any moves, thats what happens when your a prodigy, and thats how any real fighter knows how to fight, being calm and waiting for your opponent 2 make mistakes will win your fights 100 % of the time

  • if jason trained gi bjj he would've had a good chance.

  • jason got pwnd i think bill would do a better job cecause he's wretling background

  • Wow that guy was carrying more tape than an Egyptian Pharaoh and what's up with the teeth protector?

    dang what a pansy :P

  • "In the 3rd round i boiled down to one thing. Pride."

    WTF... The Judoka was crushing him from the beginning to the end. The match was over before it even began. Man... they do same shittalking on this show.

  • why do they put all that tape on they body?

  • i think to stiffen joints so they wont strain as much or get accidental injuries

  • Pause at 4:20 he has such a funny look on his face.

  • hahahahahahas.:D

  • utarian, I totally get it. I did Judo when I was young and recently started again at age 34. My dojo teaches Judo (Tue, Thu) and Machado BJJ (Mon, Wed). There are plenty of people in my class that train in both.

  • Thats funny when he says " missed him by inches" looked more like a foot to me. Not going to get a flying arm bar on that fella. I'm sure jason realized that this guy was going easy on him.

  • @sunburstgibson Yeah, he missed him by, like, 12 inches!

  • The triangle wasn't very good. He didn't almost have him. His feet are backwards. Right foot should be under left knee in his position. With someone that big he would need to be at an angle - not straight on as he is. He also needs to cross his opponent's right arm across his chest. There is no almost in the way he executed this technique.

  • that jason guy would have got the triangle choke if it had not been stood up. wtf

  • Comment removed

  • They are playing by judo rules because the show is about judo. If there is no progress on the ground (see my other post about the poor execution of the triangle) the players are stood up to avoid pasivity.

  • alright i see it now i actually did that last class to a green belt in randori :) thanks

  • i liked the almost had the triangle part xD

    fail triangle just closed his legs not gonne get any advantage with that against a conditioned judo-chest...

  • Your right; it would have been interesting to see what Bill could've done. Jason spent way too much effort trying his jujuitsu moves (ne waza).

  • I really wish the other guy had wrestled against the Judoka instead of the MMA kid

  • By the way, Yoshida (Judo) kick Royce Gracie´s ass (Jiu Jitsu)

  • Did you see the rematch with MMA rules?

  • BJJ it´s have the same origins, Jutsu means technique or more violent way an do means way, so judo is a peacefull way to do techniques in the spirital way BJJ mean that I´m stronger and I can kick your ass, that´s why I like more Judo!!

  • Actually Jutsu means art, not "more violent way". But yeah, I love JUDO!!!

  • WHAT A BEAUTIFUL TAI OTOSHI!!!

  • i love how his narrative during the fight keeps saying how he almost caught him a bunch of times

    but in reality the judoka probably saw all of his moves coming a mile a way

  • I don't mean any disrespect to Jason Chambers, but yeah I gotta agree...I don't think Jason was quite as close as he thought he was.

  • why wasn't the match over when the japanese guy got a nice uchi mata? the ref called ippon but they continued

  • Because the match had different from usual rules. Three two-minute bouts, each bout ending if ippon is scored.

  • they are having 3 rounds i think.

  • the problem with this show is that you cant learn al the tecniques in a week

  • judoka was so superior, it must have been really frustrating. like trying to move a tree. and then the tree throws him like he was nothing.

  • Funny you should say that. Kimura was known to practice Tai Otoshi against trees. Of course that they wouldn't fall but then... when grabbing a person, just imagine!

  • O Soto Gari. My bad

  • Judo guy just toying :P

  • fuckin jason always taking the final fights

  • judo guys was only playing with them :)

  • IN fact the completest martil arts known and officialy comproved are russian Sambo, israli Krav Maga and brazilian Jiu Jitsu,, not 3 world' best but 3  most complete.

  • i think ju jutsu is better than judo because there you have strikes and in judo you don't

  • Depends on where you try. Traditionally and throughout Japan, in self defense Judo there is strikes. And you cannot claim one fighting style better than another. Many have tried, and many styles have had their moments of triumph and defeat. So once you think an art is superior, be ready to read about their many defeats.

  • yeah thats true

  • butt still i still would like ju jutsu better than judo

  • It is all about who has trained more, has the better mentality and wants the win more. That's if both competitors have the same skill level. It is not the art, it is the artist.

    But Judo was selected as the winner when they compared it to Jujitsu in Kano's days...

  • True, but that was back when it was "kano jiu jitsu", which was more like a well balanced Jujutsu than what we call Judo now. Also Jujutsu was a "scattered" art back then. There were so many styles, all so narrow minded and focused on only ONE aspect of the true Jujutsu that the samurai had. Like one only did disarms, another only did nerve strikes, etc, etc. The Jujutsu of today, well balanced from all former variations, would give a good fight. And judo is also different now.

  • this whole sport is stupid nowadays you cant grab hold of someones gi in a real fight it looks really stupid when they are bot holding onto each other like that id just be tempted to use strikes

  • its more useful than you would think. while its true people dont wear a gi normally these moves can be applied to shirts, jackets, basically any type of clothing.

    as far as using a strike, the martial arts were about killing. while a strike would be useful now adays, it wouldnt work against armor.

    the ring and real life are different things too, while in real life you would use both strikes and grapple, judo focuses on grappling, so that would be what is used in the judo matches.

  • hence nowadays

  • why not ask Karo Parisyan of UFC if Judo can't be applied without a Gi. or actual fight. Of course you have to punch or kick

  • Most throws in judo can be adapted for fighting without a Gi. if done correctly, in the right situation, the techniques can be devastating in real combat.. that is why judo throws are incorporated in military and police combat training.

    Most practitioners of traditional judo (like me) study it as a sport and an art form and not really for real life combat applications. Go do MMA or join the military if you want to see Judo techniques adapted for real combat situations..

  • Seriously. I have been training with my friend in the Judo techniques of the Old Army and the Marine Corp, and I have whooped more than a few Army Combatives guys. Though I have had my butt whooped a time or two as well.

  • Big guy's goal in this show - carry towel))

    He's always walking aroung and doing some unknown shit))

  • judos gud, i do kungfu and they go gud 2gather

  • that sounds logical to me. i also heard of hwa rang do and it has joint locks, throws, and submissions as well.. but i will def think it over and i was also thinking after i get black belt in tkd to take kung fu. would you think that would be practical? so i could be trained in tkd, bjj and kung fu.

  • Depends if you want to use your martial arts for the street, for spiritual purposes or for ring sport.

    For the ring, train in BJJ as well as something like Greco Roman.

    Another good style is Wing Chun.

  • the best styles are wing chun for close quarters tkd for kicking muay thai for good knees and elbows boxing and karate and some kung fu styles like wing chun for good punching and karate for good open had strikes like shotokan. bjj for good ground fighting judo for good takedowns but being like bruce lee and using jeet kune do is da best

  • YOU are wrong

  • well my opionin like bruce lee said take what is use ful and discard what is not and that is wat i use im a jeet kune do user

  • i have training in taekwondo and i want another martial art to add to my arsenal. one that has ground game and throws but i want one that works in the smaller persons favor. what would be a good combo with tkd?like judo or something?

  • Brazilian Jiu Jitsu..there are plenty of schools that train throws and takedowns as well as the awesome leverage based Brazilian jiu Jitsu! Perfect for smaller guys. You need to know jiu jitsu these days..with MMA being main stream even your regular punk off the streets try and take fights to the ground these days because of what they see on the UFC! I bounced in bars for years and always used BJJ in real fights..plus I used to compete in Kickboxing for 17 years! Jiu jitsu is the best single art

  • take up running

  • i've always wanted to learn judo, and after seeing this i want to learn it more then ever, it will really add to my karate training.

  • why is jason always fighting hes so full of him self, i wanted to see bill

  • he's not, bill does fight in half of them, but yea he is a bit full of himself, get sick of hearing about his 15 years mma training in every episode

  • Cause Bill is pretty scared maybe... But I think these martial arts require the person to be a more petite and fast. Not like Bill, he's cut out for boxing and rugby or American football

  • Have you seen Yasuhiro Yamashita? He is the greatest Judoka of all time and quite a big guy. Kimura as well. Size is an advantage where there is lack of technique. And neither of these two guys had good Judo technique. Jason's groundwork and BJJ background is useless against a good judoka so Bill should have fought since he has the size advantage but both their skill levels are the same.

  • I disagree.

    I completed in Judo and honestly I rather fight a wrestler of my weight division than a BJJ person a few divisions lower. I would respect a BJJ person on the ground -- chokes and armlocks from a smaller opponent are about the only way an lesser skilled opponent is going to get me. Neither can likely throw me and honestly, I'll choke out any wrestler. BJJ is an unknown. Like Yamashita... I'd avoid the ground against a BJJ -- just in case.

  • Allright but as you can see, Judo rules don't allow that much groundwork so as far as throws are concerned Bill would have done a lot better. That's my opionion. He wouldn't have tried to take the fight to the ground so much and actually focus on getting an Ippon in stead of just falling to the ground and trying to win with Ne Waza techniques.

  • I disagree, Judo is not about height and power. That guy could throw trees if he wanted to.

  • It's not about height or power as long as you have technique. But none of them had technique... not after a week! So I would have gone with the power guy. But I get your point. I won't reply anymore.

  • all martial arts need power. it's just that technique magnify's one's power to produce better results. it's also very hard to shoulder throw someone taller than you.

  • You can spend the entire match on the ground provided you don't go out of bounds, or have a long pause of inactivity.

    I've fought wrestlers and wrestled. Their positions are 100% backwards to judo - and just begging to be thrown, choked, or armlocked.

    BJJ is another matter. He may not win, but they do know how not to be choked or defend against armlocks. He could keep going to the ground.

    Again, I would rather face a wrestler my size than a BJJ a few divisions under me.

  • I practice judo too, but I actually rather face a BJJ guy in a judo match than a skilled wrestler. The wrestlers that I've sparred with have had quite solid stances and good takedowns of their own. Whereas BJJ guys were much easier to throw.

  • I would certainly agree a wrestler would be harder to throw and a BJJ harder to choke or armlock. Call it a wash in term of defense.

    However, the wrestler's offense far weaker. He isn't trained to (full point) throw, choke, armlock, or pin (for 30). You pretty much have the entire match with only a fluke chance of losing even if the wrestler does what he does.

    The BJJ can choke or armlock you without any special judo training. The judoka will lose if the BJJ guy does what he does.

  • Here's the thing, BJJ isn't as useful when you're not in a sport that has rules about downed opponents. If you're in a street fight, and you're a wrestler who can take someone down, you will fare much better than a bjj expert who can submit someone on the ground because of the fact that you can take them down and then stomp them and there's nothing they can do about that.

  • What? Why would BJJ be any worse with no rules than wrestling?

    Stomp? That assumes you knock them down cleanly and you are standing. In Judo clean throws/knock-downs are possible, but in BJJ and wrestling... it is almost unheard of. Chances are you'll be in contact with each other when you hit the ground -- more so in a street fight where any of the three would hold on when taking you down.

    And the BJJ can 'stomp' just as easily. 'Stomping' isn't something any wrestler trains in.

  • uh..lol. Wrestling and judo emphasize takedowns way more than BJJ, creating a stomping situation. You can stand up and stomp easily after a shoot or judo throw, and that's the end of the fight. In a sport with rules, you can't do this, so you have to either let them get up or play a ground game where BJJ excels. Take away the necessity of a ground game and you render BJJ less useful.

  • Nonsense.

    I ha
