Rhadi Ferguson Professional Trailer

[Gundoggak47]

i dont know a lot about judo competition but can you legally use wrestling takedowns or does judo teach wrestling takedowns? typically, i see leg sweeps n throws

[edwindowfindo]

Anyone know the beat in the video its really nice

[thenewgeneration123]

I saw a little interview with him and the girl that was the host or whatever said that he can bench 30 times his own weight hahahaha what an idiot

[wolfhammer2010]

Dr. Ferguson and Sensei Camarillo are the example American Judokas. I will be excited to see David, Rhadi, and Karo talk about creating a new organization of Judo in this country!

[Steadno]

dude is a beast

[filthyjames]

Maan, even though your style of judo is so much different than mine I would love to train with you. Do you sell instructionals for gripping and/or physical training?

Tough, tough dude. I hope to see some more of your mma fights in the future too. Reppin judo in mma. Big boss man.

[cawsie77]

Love the No gi trip, awseome!!

[Puzyrro]

Unbelievable strength and explosiveness, but what is shown here is not a world class judo performance. Pretty impressive though.

[FitnessMinded]

@judomachine Ay bruh, what would life be without haters. Keep doing your thing man.

[DikkeShitRassengan]

I would like to congratulate Rhadi for his awesome performance in Strikeforce. I really hope to see more of you inside it. Leglocks are just beautiful when applied like you did. I do judo myself, and really dislike current rulings. Morote Gari was one of my favourites as well. I can do techniques which require twisting, like Ipon Seoi Nage, but don't really like them. Morote gari and te guruma were throws which emphasized my game.

But props to the great skillset and education!

[BUDDHASPORT]

Those takedowns were ridiculous.. your going to be a beast in MMA!!!!! best of luck.

[filthyjames]

so explosive

[Mycynnme]

Excellent...inspires me to train harder

[Kilroytheknifesnob]

Oh damn! I feel pain just watching this video. Your favorite move must be dropping people on their head... Screw ippon, drop the sucker on his head!

Does the Bahamas have anyone going to the Olympics in Judo?

[marcosinemb]

thank god leg thows are not allowed...

[Brazilianjj]

arent leg take downs not allowed now?



[randylemoine]

Good stuff man, keep em flipping!

[bigchris662]

THATS KIMBO SLICE"S COUSIN!!

[gansterOG1]

hi Rhadi im a huge fan of you. i been doing judo for years its suck they you cant do double leg grab in judo nomore

[jddaghfal]

he's kimbo slice's cousin

[blueingreentrain]

the guy he picks up at 2:03 actualy gets some air!! man, I wish I could throw like this dude, he's a beast!

[NoFrag0]

Too bad they don't allow grabbing legs anymore :( I loved the wrestling based judo !

[WestsideMasacre]

I know it's not your fault but the song before was way better than the one now

[Ke569789]

how have you changed your style since the new IJF rules have pretty much banned leg attacks?

[takky9298]

How did Monson beat this monster? Monson is tough too but he has nowhere close to Rhadi's explosiveness.

[shaun0069]

kool

[artisaucy]

Holy..throwin people around like ragdolls.

[RurouniHeart]

@PankrationWarrior I have heard of people bulking their legs after knee injuries to give it support after an injury and they played whole football seasons with every ligament in their knee blown out. So I assume that it can work as a preventative as well.

[mmajunkie1000]

so much leg-grabbing...

[MrJuanism]

Sadly enough even with leg grabbing he has accomplished more than you will ever accomplished in your entire lifetime.

YOU FAIL..

[migerusan29]

@mmajunkie1000 and what is wrong with that?

[antulio]

Rhadi, I see now way you are in disagreement with the new IJF rules....You have a tendency to always go for the legs. hehehhe

[Spyhunter107]

It seems your side of the family got the better genes! Nice videos, take-downs, throws, slams and armbar.

[sauce3200]

Beautiful stuff. Serious power too.

Heard he's attempting to get into MMA now. He should be a force in either HW or LHW.

[jsg103]

@sauce3200 I can't wait to see how he'll do, he's like kimbo only good.lol

[bujinkan74]

That is proper stuff..way to go Rhadi..I admire your work very much..all the best from UK.

[bofosk8pro]

rhadi ferguson es primo de kimbo slice

[gr8danaJ]

Good vid--really expert skills. I've never done judo, but wish I had. Sambo--hope your expertise in judo is better than your expertise in the written word. What the hell are you trying to say??

[judomachine]

If you want to point out my errors, you do so privately, no publicly.

And you wait for me to ask you for advice as people ask me.

Like I said, this is not an instructional video, but a highlight reel.

And there WILL ALWAYS be errors. You take care.

[N1SHTIK3IT]

way to keep your cool, brotha. (sorry if i sound cheesey ;) sorry disclaimor for... people who think i'm being "racist" ://////////////////  are u located in PA? lemme check ur page one sec. hmmm i'm not sure!! lemme know :) seems like you keep having to repeat yourself over and over in the other comments. fuck that* keep it up mate!

[Snoochy2006]

I'm sure you know more than a 4x National Champion and 2x Olympian.

[SuperPanthour]

@NZSambo

Sucsesful troll is sucsesfull!

I bet you dont know anything what you are talking about!

[13expose13]

@SuperPanthour The Russian guy in NZSambo's vids looks like he knows exactly what he's talking about.

[13expose13]

@13expose13 Don't get me wrong, I wish this guy Rhadi the best of luck but Sambo is tops.

[virginiabjj]

@NZSambo whats sad is your just mad you arn't on his level, and probably couldnt stop it. keep uploading videos of you and "Turkish Oil Wrestling"....fag

[NZSambo]

2 lifts , no score, shame... it coulbe ippon if finish move right.

[judomachine]

The move was done right. You just don't know what you're looking at. Some are singles, some are doubles. It changes based upon the angle to remove the possibility of getting countered, especially if I'm up by 2 or 3 attacks and close to getting a shido. Sometimes its done to score, sometimes to get to the ground, depending on where I am in the chronological landscape of the match. I AM AN EXPERT at this things. Please understand that. An expert. This is a highlight reel, not an instructional.

[BoxingBadBoy77]

@judomachine Hi,im very seriously considering taking up judo.Im curious,do you learn to sprawl at all in judo?

[Fabyfakid]

This is very disrespectful of you.

[Houseoferebus]

I am SICK of this Copyright laws and then they mute the vid...Fukn let us hear it...it gay when they do this shit

[Zarathoustra00]

you got impressive power

[lll000000lll]

what song is this?

[espectaculardavidrcq]

Increible este hombre que gran manejo!

[Wazarie]

I was there and i saw you fight. You fought well, it was the olympics and you lost to the silver medalist, and from what I saw it seems that the guy from Cameroon was equally or stronger than you.

Soo still don't know why not put videos of the first fight at least...

[judomachine]

Not stronger. Fresher. And I had an idiot sitting in the chair coaching me giving me the incorrect instructions. Super pissed, even still to this day.

[Wazarie]

LOL I can see that. In your honest opinion, do you think you where stronger than Sabino?

[judomachine]

Stronger than Sabino. Nope. More powerful? Yes

[FFmaxx]

can you explain the difference between the two?

[WarJudoka]

So is morote gari, te guruma and kata gurma out for good? Can't get a clear answer on leg grabs.

[Wazarie]

No video of Athens?lol

[lumhostile]

This dude is a beast!

[ez4u2beme]

Rhadi and I wrestled together at Howard. He was very quick then and has great work ethic.

[Jclewell3d]

tossing people round like ragdolls...

[PrairieKDog]

Rhadi = awesome!!

[PoorBoy1979]

Does he compete anymore? I'll go up against him.

[tkde1]

Wow that's an impressive display of power, speed and technique! Excellent Rhadi!

[Fabyfakid]

Rhadi is scary as hell, I DO NOT want to fight this guy, that morote gari is fuckin' lethal!

[znjfl]

Damn this man is a monster oO

This proves that Judo and Bjj are a lethal combination,say what you want but i don`t think anybody here would want to meet this guy in a dark alley :)

[bjj4u2]

2:06 speechless...

[lohsifer]

I remember fighting Rhadi at the US nationals one year. I threw him for a yuko off the grip, we went to our feet, he immediately took me down and made me submit with a wicked fast arm lock.

The man's a tremendous combination of power, technique, and coaching prowess!

[chileno189]

this guys scary man he tosses people like a video game. i wouldnt wanna roll wit him. in an interview lloyd irvin said rhadi tossed him and he was hurt for a week

[hebrukiller]

he is kimbo slice's cousin!

[ItsRuhRuhRuhRitchel]

wow that seoi came out of no where, good technique

[Darthymerej]

he could have been a Good Free Styleer as well if not for the rules of Wrestling that you are not alowed to let go of your oponent in mid air and let them get slamed to the matt but in Judo thats how you win

[Darthymerej]

this is man is amazing he does every gapling Art from Wrestlings to Judo, and BJJ, and Submission Wrestling..he could have been a Powerlifter too. and I think he is DAMN he is so talented and hes work ethic and philosophy is still in the roots of Kano Judo.. despite what may people say

[jamesofskewen]

what is this song called ?

[clearfenix]

so fast

[FightersAlley]

Rhadi is our new instructor at our fight school, he started tonight and he gave us one hell of a workout.

[thewerrett]

It was this video that inspired me to develop this transition for my own Judo.

I've now won 4 competitive fights with it... Thanks Rhadi! :D

[SoloWing34]

My American Idol GO Rhadi U are the MAN !!!!

[mursi]

Foldin' bitches up like fresh towels.

[themethod]

wtf?!

he throw people around like they weight just 1kg

amazing

[G0dspelronin]

The bad thing about Rhadi is he is humble and kind and wears colorful flip flops. Wait...none of things are negatives...my bad. What a beast you are Rhadi! The phrase "toss up" now says ; see Rhadi Ferguson; in my mind

[CliffVictory]

Morote gari monster!

[wangginr1]

morote gari is not the most effective throw in judo, is just to sprawl

[ryaoden]

lol.

this sure is not a "gentle way", but a win is a win.

[sli2305]

This is kimbos cousin damn kimbo needs to train with him haha

[Gnomehunter802]

or quit, hes nowhere near as good as people want to believe he is, hes not bad but he isnt mma material

[MakiFortu]

You should be nicknamed, "MOROTE-GARI JUDAN" or Tenth-degree black belt of double leg takedowns!

Great video! :)

[RodrigoVanilla93]

mother of god...ferguson's morote gari is OFF THE CHARTS!

[gennbjj]

The recent Judo matches in Beijing 08 werent even half as interesting as this clip...and I've seen this heaps of times!

[droman30]

I feel more insignificant after watching the video than I did before watching it.

[Hector2028]

I heard Alves was training with Rhadi.. I knew Karo could not compete with Fergusons HEAT. lol Thanks uploading!

[karactako]

He has monster strength. Has he ever fought any of the Gracies? That would be an interesting match.

[bariboy8]

love it!!...he's an animal...he trows guys in his category like paper dalls..and i saw a couple of nice ashi trows 2...and one ore two soenages...i prefer soenages...i'm 14 and i do cat 73kg in romania:D:D

[rcfd49]

I second Apollo...what is this song? who is it by?

[judomachine]

name of the song is O Fortuna.

You can find it on Itunes.

[Apollo20000]

the name of the song?

plzzzz

[darktim99]

rhadi is ace. the shear explosive power is ace. throwin guys about as if they were paper balls! always read his work out article in grapple mag. is he kimbo slice's cousin?

[AbdulazizDabech]

amazing !!

[boocher13]

awesome video what a powerhouse.

[armenbob]

ah the good old fashined suplex

[jake314949]

ummm holy....wt a freakin beast

[fecsaivla]

wonderful composing, pleasant harmony

[sk8filmmaker420]

holly shit he throws dudes

[ozydog]

Gee whizz

[pinkorigami]

I'm sure his opponents wished he used the "maximum efficiency with minimum effort principle" while soaring through the air.

If he can compete with jeff monson his grappling is legit.

Jealousy gets you nowhere.
