It scares me when people in the comments talk about using judo to beat up bullies or whatever. You opponent must be trained as well in judo, to know the ukemi (falling techniques) or they could get paralyzed for life or die depending on how dangerous the throw is. It's not something to mess around with.
@CaBeeful no grappling is good for a street fight, unless somehow the street fight involves no weapons or none of there friends jump in...which is unlikely
@xxpinoclean im not talking about going to the ground, im talking about throws, standing submission.I prefer to choke out a bigger guy rather than punching him a make him more angry
Ranking of strongest martial arts in "Japanese" street fights.
1 Sumo
2 Judo
3 Muay Thai
4 Boxing
5 Karate
Living in Nishinari (a ghetto in Japan), this is the ranking that I made watching lots of street fights. It should be different in other countries. In America, MMA could be the strongest and in Israel, Krav Maga could be the strongest. Ninjutsu could be stronger but I've never seen a Ninjutsu student. I don't know how strong American martial artists are, but Sumo wrestlers are monsters.
@TheCrazyman1997 I said out of the five in the comment I replied to. But, I do agree with most of your list (ish). From I'd say Ninjitsu isn't that good (same with Karate) Taekwondo can be okay... but not in street fights. (From my experiences.
@TheCrazyman1997 Judo here... is VERY effective if you can do the moves when someone is hitting you. As Judo doesn't allow strikes, it can be a shocking when you are in a situation that involves a lot of strikes being thrown. Here, i'd say either Brazillian JuJitsu or MMA.
@SuperFrenzy21 muay thai and boxing above karate, hmm i would probably switch those around abit i do agree about sumo and judo if a sumoka or judoka graps you your done
Can anybody explain to me why Bill Duff is actually there? like at all... i don't see why he's been chosen to do this. The big dude from Fight Quest is much better
I luv Judo since i been doing it wen little.. throws rele help in fights & self defense with right techq i remember throwing some wan 2-3 times the size of mei in Taekwondo class using Judo styled move after blocking a punch easily lah... even that theres many other moves too, Judo is so effective!
I am very afraid of judo-kas due to their skill in kuzushi ( breaking an individuals centre of gravity and balance ) and their abilities to be instinctive rather then - brute strength as in the case for punching or kicking,
Judo is effective on its own but combined with muay thai kickboxing ; it can be a powerful combo
not quite right. Japanese Jujutsu (or Jiu-Jistu) has throws and standing arm locks that will break your elbows, disabling strikers. you also have throws to the ground for groundwork.
Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, or Brazilian JJ, has no throws and ONLY has groundwork, and was inherited from a Japanese emigrant to Brazil.
Judo, as said in this video, only takes those moves from Japanese Jiu-Jitsu that rely on body mechanics, not brute force, as to make it an effective fighting style for all practitioners.
I wonder wether judo is usefull as a self defense. Some people say it is, but some other people that it's not because it is a sport these days. For me that'd be dissapointing, because I want to learn judo in order to defend myself. Can anyone tell me: if you learn judo these days, do you learn it as a sport or as a self defense?
it is useful for self defense. you will learn to throw people and fight on the ground. bjj is better on the ground, but judo has it too. a blackbelt in judo will throw a non judoka at will anytime. if he makes the other guy land on his head on concrete, that would be pretty devastating.
Can you name some techniques in judo that are specially designed for defending against kicking and punching? I believe that this is something very important and that every martial art should have such techniques.
it all depends how you wanna defend the punch or kick...you can parry, and then close the distance, do a throw or takedown, then choke or armbar...just go to a class and you'll see what its like..
u can avoid a kick with a sidestep or something by grabbing the leg of your enemy...then hold it and do a legsweep while pushing your enemy with the other hand in the face or chest. If he falls on the back it will hurt even on soft sand for more than one day
judo and wrestling emphasize takedowns more while bjj emphasizes ground game
the thing is, you don't need bjj unless you're in an mma ring or a sport with rules, if you know judo and can take your opponent down in a street fight, you can stomp them and there's very little they can do to stop you in that situation.
yeah, i kinda agree with that...the only time you really need really good ground skills in a street fight is if you're in a one on one fight and your opponent is a grappler too...that is, if he can keep the fight on the ground...
Well, I've learned Tae Kwon Do and Goshin Jujitsu before, and now train Judo; I can tell you from those experiences that Judo is better than both of the latter for self-defense; Judo teaches you to throw and grapple with a resisting opponent using kuzushi (breaking the opponent's balance) rather than using strength, which is all important because you have to assume that an attacker will be stronger than you. Saying that, you need to know how to block and avoid strikes as well. Hope that helps!
Hi again. No, Judo doesn't allow striking at all. Judo also does not allow joint locks to any other body part than the arms (though Judo armlocks and Judo chokes are very effective if used right). So although you CAN use a lot of Judo as self-defence, it is by no means a "complete" self-defense system. To learn a "complete" system, you might need to consider Krav Maga or Jiu Jitsu.
Maybe it is not complete, but I'm sure I once saw a Judo Kata where they where using self-defense against strikes. I think that's just an extra, because strikes are so common in a street fight, but of course, Judo stresses on kuzumi.
Oh sure, there are Katas which do that. What the techniques can be used for depends on the individual student; I train Judo, but I also cross-train by going to Jiu Jitsu and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu seminars and so forth, which allows you to see where the limitations of one style lie (Judo as a sport teaches you certain techniques, but you need to look at other styles to see how else they can be used outside of Judo's "sporting" rules. The limits are where you set them, basically.
@larbo1616 you can use it for both, for example, you learn throws which are illegal in the randori because they are too dangerous, they are just for self defense, but it works, trust me, it works very well
@FearThisChannel wait, you misunderstood me. I said you learn Throws that Are Illegal. That means not every Throw is allowed in the Randori. LOL, would be very pointless if all throws would be illegal
@SuperDragonICP Haha, ok. It's very stupid of people to think that judo has become too much of a sport which would result in the downfall of judo as a budo art. It's ridiculous since judo is way more than a sport. Throws that are not allowed in randori/competition are still practiced.
@MrTwhalley : The samurai have a huge sense of honor. They kill themselves if they survived a battle they lost. I guess fighting fairly was also a code of honor.
The sensei also uses a t-shirt or something underneath his gi, maybe this blackbelt, sensie of the top judo academy in the world, is scared of gi burns too
Why? It helps to soak up more sweat, and it is more considerate toward your training partners so you don't have your sweaty chest smothering your partners face. Plus it cuts back on possible ring worms and other bacteria being contracted...
i like the art but y dont they use some of the submissions in the olympics they just use throws they should get extra points for throwing them then win for submitting ur opponent
Watch more. There are actually some good competition fights of judo where they use submissions. Type "judo flying armbar" here on youtube to see one of the best.

Judo is about throws and then when you throw your opponent you can submit him on the ground. Usually arm locks and chokes.
Jiu Jitsu is more submission based and has no throws. You start on the ground and try to submit your opponent. A lot more submission locks than judo.

Hold your hands out and move closer. If they throw a punch, you can just move your hand a small distance to block it and try and grab their arm.
