Breakdown: National Wrestler vs Judo Blackbelt in BJJ Match 

I love seeing current bjj guys with backgrounds in judo or wrestling. So much better than double guard pulls, which is just depressing.

I’m brown in judo blue in bjj, and tbh wish I could learn wrestling but as an adult there aren’t many options. Judo has been tremendous for me both in gi and no gi in competition. What’s funny is I’m a killer on the ground in judo and standing in bjj not because I’m special, but because each makes up for what the other lacks. Awesome video.

Good content especially getting two different styles like judo and wrestling included In the roll, keep it up

The guy in the purple rashguard is kinda handsome.

That was really dope, I might be wrong but it seemed like the judo guy wanted to do more bjj than judo and wasn't too active on the standup. The wrestler seemed like he wanted to use his standup for the finish on the ground, but the judo guy seemed more experienced on the ground so he was moreso relying on that (or maybe to conserve energy or he was just getting put down, just seemed like he wasn't trying his hardest standing and it looked like he could do more than he was letting on) but then again it is a bjj gym so maybe he was just trying to be on the ground to sharpen that skill. Could be wrong but either way waht a fantastic video!

judo blck belt no hip work, no trips...WHERE DA JUDO AT????

What I find super interesting as a former kick boxer n currently learning judo, but have know tons of wrestlers. Judo guys n wrestlers done normally attack for leg locks, but these 2 seem to really be comfortable with them. Interesting... are they that useful?

This was really just a BJJ match. Both did more BJJ than anything and both did great.

I came here for Judo vs Wrestling and got bjj vs bjj.

Just for anybody wondering: Guy in black is the Wrestler. Guy in blue is the Judoka.

2:10 - I cross the cameras field of view like a ghost😂 Great breakdown William!! It’s easy to learn from these rolling breakdowns!! Keep it up🔥🔥🔥🔥

Let me know what y’all think 😁🙌🏻 thanks for watching!!!!

“Judo” guy wasn’t even using judo lol never even attempted a takedown and he looked extremely tired

the painted toe nails

Ayyyyy who dat!

Good match up and I thought it shows the fundamentals of each discipline. The wrestler is looking for position and control on the ground whereas the Judo player is looking for subs. As for the leg grabs, these were banned from Judo about 15 years ago so the modern Judo player isn't used to defending against them (which is very easy really if you're used to them). So yeah, really interesting match.

Awesome match and commentary 🔥🔥🔥

Hi William, I saw a lot of video where judokas without gi against freestyle wrestler could compete at the same level. I don't know who they were but I'd like to ask you, are judokas generally better than wrestler even in no-gi? ps. I don't talk about ground fighting, cause judo has submission, I talk about stand up grapling. Thank you

What happens with a Gi? :) My issues moving to BJJ from wrestling is the Gi throws me off massively

Zero Judo standup in this video. "Judo guy" was going full BJJ even when he was standing up. Not even talking about throws, just the way he was moving and setting things up, using his hands, etc.

Wish you would have stated which was which from the beginning...

uh yeah hi i dont really know what to comment because i was told to like comment and subscribe before the video stared sooo uhhh yeahhhh

that was sick

i can't "like" a video until i have viewed it. ask me at the end not 30 seconds in.

Great work man can’t wait to see you compete at ADCC and WNO in 2022!! Onwards and Upwards

John 14:21

insane pace!

Thanks for the video William. Great content..do you play guitar too?

Wrestling or Judo?

I wana see em go in the gi now lol

Dope keep um coming

Dang these boys scrapping

Sick video

Where can we get merch?? Take our money!

Does the Judo black belt attempt a single throw/trip?

Nice

When I first saw this video I quickly glanced at the title and I thought it was a Judo black belt going against a wrestler, I then realized they are from different backgrounds going head to head in a BJJ grappling match. Beddy beddy intadesting

With all due respect, having a black belt in judo can but, at the same time, doesn’t necessarily speak completely about one’s judo level in comparison to say BJJ’s belt system, which is very rigorous and explicitly represents one’s skill level majority of the time. I wish you guys could’ve invited someone that actually could similarly match the labels such as “National level”, “top 10 in the ladder”, etc.

That's one of the best BJJ matches I've seen. not as "high level" but you have both guys going to make threats and not just be boring and pulling guard

Keep going man, I think you have potential to grow your channel 🙌

Oss

Great footage, big fan of you and your brother. 🔥

Awesome roll and awesome commentary 😁

I have my blackbelt in Judo and Master of sport in Sambo and it definitely destroys bjj because bjj has horrible takedowns and they wouldn’t know the first thing to do after getting Tomoenage

Where was the old gym, in relation to the new gym? Haha. What city?

ive never heard of a "national wrestler". what is that?

What you need is a top teir Greco wrestler vs a judoka. Those disciplines are more similar than people realize.

Great Job William !

Great commentary and video! Keep em coming !

Good round! I like the breakdown too 👍

Would be interesting to see these two roll in the Gi.

Great breakdown

Dope Thanks For Upload 🤙🏽

Fire

Great guys! 🔥

With that double leg take down, how do you develop the strength to pick up your opponent? He just lifted him like it was nothing

this is DOPE

Where's your gym located?

Hey man the breakdown was perfect. Great to hear about the new space.

Will I feel wrestling is more important in MMA than BJJ

Great stuff.

I’m looking to improve my takedown competency. Although in our bjj gym we drill takedown techniques I don’t feel enough emphasis is put on learning how to execute them effectively, learning timing etc and we don’t drill when resisting, so when it comes to stand up sparring (which isn’t done frequently as many like to start sitting down), nothing really works well. Also because no one’s stand up game is particularly good, it’s more liable to end in injury with spazzyness. If it’s a choice between beginning attending either wrestling or judo classes for a couple hours a week with a view to gaining confidence in my takedown game and being better prepared for competition, which would you recommend as being the best most practical option? Alternatively if neither what would you recommend? 👍 Btw I’m still just a 4 stripe white belt with two years of training

🙌🔥

Thanks! Fun to watch, good roll, and good breakdown. I definitely would have wanted to watch them just go takedowns. Clearly the wrestler dominated when shooting, but would love to see them working from the clinch.

0:41 lat drop

Judo guy had good handfighting but I wish he would have done more footsweeps/trips etc. Wrestler has a real nice shot. Both great on the ground. Would have liked to see the Wrestler work off his back. Both really good grapplers and good training partners. Nice stuff.

As a wrestler and learning some judo and bjj with no gi wrestling > anything else when getting the opponent to the ground is the goal.

One thing that really irks me about BJJ is how people are touching other people's feet and being touched with other people's bare feet. Unless it's a female I don't want no bare feet near me at all

AS soon as you said bjj purple belt I unsubscribed. Obviously the title would lead a viewer to believe that we get to see wresting vs judo.

BJJ rules are ridiculous they need to invent a new sport based exclusively off MMA positions
