@warwize I could ask you the same question you made, to almost all crazy positions BJJ has...would you do X-Guard, Spider guard, and all that mambo jumbo competition stuff in a real fight ?! Jimmy Pedro is a great judoka and he´s trying to improve BJJ´ers game with his tips. Don´t divide...respect both arts and practice booth. I do BJJ....just not the sport version, only to improve my newaza, and always go fpr the submission, no stalling and unfunctional positions to a real fight.

@warwize Judo always had Ne Waza game, although neglected, with lots of Pins and holds and submissions. Just like BJJ´er...an Judoka can adpat his game to no-gi...Just have to be smart about it. By the way...a real fight in no way reflects a ADCC match...have you ever seen Marcelo Garcia in MMA ?! I did...and he sucked big time. Roger Gracie got KO´ed big time. I suggest you see Karo Parysian, Hector Lombard and Ronda Rousey...see how they do in No Gi...! Just my 2 cents to you.

[warwize]

is there no-gi judo? what do you do vs a guy in t-shirt and shorts..

[xioxio1000]

if thats what a "reverse" is called lol

[xioxio1000]

I dont know if you have made one but could u send me a video on a basic but yet effective reverse throw?

@RileyM0730 yo utilize sweeps and sublissions... but you gotta have judo in case you get an opportunity to throw and it just teaches you body controll and how bodys leverage work against and with eachother...
