Some people told me that judo isn't good for self-defense, but know I can prove that they are wrong: kata's are these ways of selfdefense.

[judogido]

Partly true. Katas are a way to demonstrate judo "principles" such as kuzushi (breaking balance) but not necessarily to train how to counter a punch or kick (the punches in the kata are very rigid and formalised)

Judo IS good for self-defense as it teaches realistic techniques which are practiced against fully-resisting opponents during randori (sparring).

It is not a COMPLETE SD system, though. For that you'd have to combine other styles. REAL SD is avoiding confrontation.

[larbo1616]

Thank you. One more question: some people say that kicking and punching is forbidden in judo. Every internet site tells that. Why do they tell you this when there is atemi waza?

[judogido]

Because atemi-waza USED to be part of judo in the early days of judo's beginnings, but is no longer. It has been removed. SOME clubs may practice it still, but they are very, very, very few non-"mainstream" places.

Judo is about grappling only.

this is simply beatiful

@judogido i couldnt say it any better then you did, but my club practices atemi-waza and our black belts have to go threw that to get to the next level its really cool to watch i will video tape it next time he does it,:)

.The curicullum of judo includes:the old Kano ju-jitsu techniques.thepost war judo [before it becomes an olympic sport ]and the olympic sport of judo as we now know it.Depending on the orientation of the Dojo and the Sensei and the athlete s age is what you will learn.My Sensei trained for 6 years in Kodokan in the late 60 s early 70 s and he also had the oportunity to train with the japanese imperial guard under Sensei Shibayama. .Zen io kokumin taiso teaches atemi and goshin kata also does

[Marcus Hammarberg]

He falls for that trick every time... :)

it's a funny feeling when someone lets go of you in tomoe nage, i've seen ukis go flying like 6 or 7 ft through the air and land splat on their face

[Dave C. Rodway]

Beautiful.

[MrRamboman123]

this is the most beautifull part of judo.

[Ban Smooth]

Atemi waza is not longer used in competition but in self defense we allways use punching and kicking. Judo has Grappling, Proyection and Punching/Kicking techniques.

Bela apresentação do Nage No Kata, que são as formas fundamentais de projeção no Judô.

I don't think so. The sporting side of Judo has brought a remarkable popularity. In addition remember that Judo is also an Olimpic sport, unlike most other sports based on martial arts, and I think this is a merit. Certanly some aspect of the martial art deserve more attention..
