I'm doubtful of the wisdom of teaching kids self defense in this fashion.

OK, sure, it might be fun, but I'd be worried that they're giving the kid the wrong impression (or marketing their club in an irresponsible fashion).

The simple fact is that a 10 or 12 year old would be trivial for almost any healthy adult to handle. The pure size and strength difference mean that they have virtually no chance, even if they have been training from infancy.

@ManicParroT @ManicParroT Hi, first off I'm sure in the description of this video it does say that it's 'a very rough cut of some self defence' not 'this is how to teach self defence to kids'? Judo, as with just about all martial arts, doesn't just teach techniques, it also gives the student self confidence and discipline that allows them to judge a situation and lets them decide weather they are going to be able to defend themselves or if they are going to have to get out of there.

[stikkz213]

@ManicParroT The Point of most martial arts is to teach how to use your attackers size and strength against them.

As for a 12 year old being nothing to a healthy adult, I'd love to see you go up against some commited 12 year old Judo, Tae Kwon-do, Karate, Kick boxing, Kung-fu, or any other martial artists, and see if you change your mind.

Anyway, thanks very much for watching the video and leaving your comments, they are always welcome, both positive and negative. :D

is judo good for self deffense

[stikkz213]

@simpson4563 Judo si an excellent martial art for self defence. I'm not trying to say that Judo is the best martial art, as I don't believe that there is one definative martial art, but from personal expierence Judo has always done good with me. Thanks for watching and thanks for your comment. :D

Im a karateka but Judo is a very effective martial art. It gets a bad rap due to the focus of sports on many schools, but people dont realize that a common thug doesnt know how to fall properly and theres no matts on the streets, those put together means one throw can finish a fight in a second.

[Brady2k10]

ive seen ppl throw others like they weren't even there in 2 seconds there on the floor, of course the more experienced and stronger you are, the more effective judo is, you need strength to throw people fast, and doing judo for a number of years will give you that upper strength, i like sweeps myself, sweep the leg, move quickly onto the next person throw them, then finish the others off, i find boxing goes nicely with judo, throw a few punches and then suprise them with a throw or a leg sweep

[seph54]

[nwowars1]

Man that's so wrong... You're gonna get that girls hair ripped out of her cranium.. Gain control of the wrist first, then attempt to gain momentum of your opponents arm... LOL

[8520rah]

@ManicParroT lol ya no doubt. like when he has her by the hair, lol he just gives her a shot in the face, and bam, theres your ez abduction. Or else mayby she some how super crazily pulls off the move, but then when she tries to run away, she trips and falls and starts crying, so the guy gets up, picks her up and bam, ez child abduction..........

Come to my wrestling club and bring your "healthy untrained adult" friend and see if he doesn't get manhandled by one of our 12 year old female wrestlers. You will be surprised of what technique, repetition, and trained reaction can do against brute strength.
