 Hello lads, today I want to talk about a few things. First and foremost I would like to give you an update on my book. So the release date will be somewhere in the first quarter of 2019. What I'm doing right now is that I'm basically reading through all the chapters, adding some information, adding some footnotes etc. Then I'm gonna add some last thoughts and then the introduction chapter. So the book is soon complete. And I thought to make this video because the last chapter I proof read and edited was the one on Marshall Arch. And then I thought I don't know if I have actually elaborated upon this in a video. So then I thought today's video might be that along with said update that yes the book is coming along. I think it will be really good. I think it will be very well received. Then obviously we have worked quite a bit with Juttoname Nutrition and Liggy Gloria. So follow the Instagram for respective brand below so that you can stay tuned on the updates. So yeah, some good stuff are coming in the next few days. The next week for Juttoname Nutrition and I am looking at an option to ship for all of Europe. So we have some way banana with Stevia because I know some people don't like Aspartame. And also some new clothes from Liggy Gloria. But enough about that. Check out the links in the description. So the topic at hand. Judo for street fighting and self defense. Now the point here I want to make is that you don't really see all too much judo in MA. And that is because it's not particularly effective if you compare it to how effective it is. In an altercation that might arise in the main streets of the chaotic cities of western Europe or Americas. So the point here is that first and foremost if you look at an MMA match. They're beginning a few meters separated. An altercation on the street can start you being just a few decimeters from your opponent. Now in judo obviously you want to be able to grab your opponent as soon as possible. And especially if the opponent is not well versed in any martial arts at all. So that's the first step that it's much easier to initiate in a predicament that can arise in the street. Than it is in an MMA fight. The second part is that judo you obviously train with a gi. And that translates much better into clothing such as jackets etc. Whereas it does not translate equally well to an MMA fight where you can't grab the clothes. Same thing goes with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for that matter. So that's also something to keep in mind. And then lastly and perhaps most importantly. If you compare the getting thrown on a soft training mat versus getting thrown on a pavement. And I will admit that before I trained some judo myself we had it as a compliment to a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Shout out to warchief Shawnee in Ireland. Great guy. I hope you are well. So anyway I didn't really think much of it before I trained. But then getting thrown a few times on said soft training mat. Yeah it's not particularly pleasant. And imagine then that you're throwing someone with the same force upon a pavement. Yeah you can definitely break someone's rib. You can definitely cause severe damage to an opponent. So those aspect in my humble view makes judo much better in an altercation on the street than it does in MMA. And then obviously this is true for wrestling as well. If you want to pick someone up and slam them to the ground it will be more effective on the street. And then also you will have clothes etc. So it will be easier to throw people. So that was just my video for today. So if you're thinking about starting some sort of martial art. But the only thing you have at hand is judo. It's an absolutely legitimate martial art to start. Because as I said it can be very effective in self defense. And then also lastly a thing that you might want to keep in mind when it comes to the legal side of things. It doesn't look as bad throwing someone as it does punching someone. If there is a surveillance camera etc. So thank you for watching. And who am I? I'm the great angel XXO. Boom.
