whats it feel like to be slammed against the floor like at the end?

[reon1978]

@zz4r Depends, sometimes if you fall with the proper technique it doesn't hurt that bad, sometimes though you can get the wind knocked out of you and you can't breathe for a second or two and that sucks. But it's all a part of it.

The falling part is probably the most important thing you learn. Falling improperly can lead to severe injuries and if you smack your head hard even death.

um to me im not trying to be a dick head or anything im probably just lack brain power to understand but judo seems like a impractical martial art can it really be used in a real life situation and it seems as if the bigger person always wins. ?

[reon1978]

@lguitarn Why would you think Judo wouldn't be able to be used in a real life situation? Any martial art can be useful in a real life situation. Judo is no different. Training is always better than no training.

As for size. In general in all martial arts size and strength has its advantages, that's why there are weight classes in boxing, MMA, BJJ, Judo etc... That does not mean that technique cannot overcome size. If you look or have experience you will know that bigger guys don't always win.

@lguitarn I regularly train with a guy who is 100lbs+ heavier than I am. I'm only 160lbs.

Is it harder to throw him than someone my size? yes.

Can I do it? yes

Does he win more of our matches? Yes.

Do I win our matches? Yes.

Some days i have the upper hand and will win more than I lose but most days he wins most of the time. Now I would say that our skill levels are pretty close, now if we were talking about a guy his size who has little or no skill things would be much easier for me.

@reon1978 ok thank you im just interested in this martial art form i find it very different from other forms

[reon1978]

@xxands93 I also practice Hapkido, we have kicks, punches, strikes locks, throws etc... in there as well.

[reon1978]

@xxands93 If you're talking BJJ or Judo it really depends on what you want. If you're talking about for ground most probably BJJ is better, but that's not to say a Judo guy won't win. And for throws Judo is better but again that doesn't mean a BJJ won't win 1vs1.

If you're talking about real fighting then I think Judo is better, most people you fight will know 0 martial arts so any trained person has a better chance, but I think it's better to be on your feet in case other people jump in.

I just noticed something in this video. For a lot of Judo technique setups, they could be very painful blows. About halfway through, the black belt tried a setup by stepping between the other guy's legs, but didn't have the balance control to pull off a throw. However, had he gone through with force, his knee would have hit the red-belt very hard.

@xDontFaintx: Same background as you but also a little BJJ floor work ......then a judoka palshowed me how to throw someone to the ground...nasty.

If you don't train for it then after you're thrown you need 2/3 seconds to regain awareness,in which time your opponent can casually finish you off.
