The reason they walk off like nothing happened is because nothing happened to them. If you ever practice Judo, the first time you get a throw right, even in training, it feels like the other person jumped over you or tripped on your leg, all on their own.
@@TheMisterGuy I know and am a black belt in judo but i just like to compare the swagger top judokas have after winning a match with for example mma fighters over the top celebrations, although the scenario is slightly different. I just think its cool.
Over 25 years ago one of the quietest girls, pretty small who I knew, was really good at judo. She’d won a few championships. Well one day she was confronted by 3 pacific island girls, these 3 were known bullies at my high school. One of the bullies, big chick was slammed so hard into the ground she was knocked out cold, the 2nd girl ended up getting slammed as well and the 3rd decided wisely to not push her luck. It was one of the most efficient beat downs I’d ever seen. I still have a little giggle about it cos them bullies really thought they were such gangsters lol.
Seriously man I love when gangster kids that like vape walk around thinking they can beat someone up because a lot of my friends and me do stuff like judo, jits, wrestling, muay thai, etc. and we could probably drop them in a few seconds.
We have a 4-0 amateur mma fighter at my gym who's grappling style is primarily judo. We were doing situational rolling last week where you let the guy take you down so you can work back up from bad positions. He would do his throws and take side control and said "I'm just gonna judo you" and proceeded to just lay on me. It was so much pressure I couldn't manage to breathe to even think about an escape or sweep. Never felt that from any bjj guy or collegiate wrestler who have their own scary form of dominance. So I'd say yes, also I dunno about these guys but most judo guys i know cross train.
Most underestimated martial art. Why even call it a sport? Throws, chokes, bone breaking, it's all in there. And those guys are seriously strong and super fit from practising.
Because when you take the gi off, most practitioners loose 50% effectiveness, because a lot of ippons get you strangled in a grappling match, because the rule set very much makes it a sport. If you take away the necessity for anyone to wear a gi, and make it no time limit fight to ultimate KO or submission it would be something completely different. I think it's very much a sport. A really cool awesome combat sport with many wider applications, but still a sport.
@@shawndesjardins4904 Yeah I get all that, and in the street I still maintain a trained Judoka could do more damage than most. Fit, strong, fast, great timing and a dozen moves at the ready?
@@shawndesjardins4904 the effectiveness of a Judoka in nogi is plenty to deal with an untrained person, as is the effectiveness of a wrestler in thick clothing. But a Judoka has a massive advantage against a wrestler in thick clothing. Also judo's upright stance and ashi-waza advantage them against freestyle and greco-roman wrestlers in combat.
Judo is commonly called the gentle way. A more accurate translation is yielding way. Instead of meeting force with force, you yield to your opponents force and use it against him or her.
First 3 months of judo is learning how to fall. The entire white belt is just falls. Fall to the right, fall to the left, roll forward, fall face first, fall flat on your back.
Don’t forget the adrenaline while fighting! Take a fall like that during training and you’ll have a hard time getting up sometimes. Take a fall like this during a tournament, we hardly feel it. Thank god 😂
@@30aught68 Not always, we did falls on pavement, grass, and even tiles. They come later, first 3 months you have to perfect the technique of falling and distributing your weight equally along the line of impact while tucking in your head, and your cross foot then takes some of the pressure. The slap is meant to counter the force of falling and as you get better you actually develop muscles in your arm so your body has less of jarring impact. You kind of fall on your arm and lower your body in sequence. The front falls are all about using your arm as levers. The rolls are better and when done perfectly you don't feel a thing. Even on the mat it hurts, specially if you get it wrong.
Honestly this, along with the constant rule changes and banned techniques by IJF, are the biggest problems with judo. I trained for about 4 years at a bunch of different clubs and the variation in ethos is insane. You might go to one place that's super traditional and only ever does kata, then you might train at another club who are all super competitive killers who spend 50% of their time sparring. So a lot of people get exposed to the former kind of club and end up thinking of judo as this silly choreographed traditional martial art like aikido and have no idea that Olympic judo is legit an amazing sport (IJF bullshit aside).
I took Judo for a while when I was in college. As a woman I had never encountered women that were so strong! I loved it and have embraced different styles of martial arts for nearly 20 years. I credit Judo with teaching me a whole new appreciation for what my body could physically do. It’s a different kind of confidence.
I’m a BJJ guy and my biggest fear is getting slammed/thrown. I try to get to the ground as quick as possible in the least dynamic way possible, usually by getting to open guard and going for a sweep.
@@artpoirot9574 BJJ is absolutely useless as a martial art and does not work in real life. . It’s like Tai Chi . Good for exercise and fun but no practical use .
@@artpoirot9574 bro didn't know how to break fall, I've never had a single injury I'm judo apart from a few stubbed toes, BJJ on the other hand I've had countless injuries
I trained judo for 3 months this year and entered a competition. Got my first ippon in the 1st match and felt awesome. 2nd one I lost to an army dude in 5 seconds. I love Judo and would have kept training if the only coach in my country didn't leave 😢
Khabib was right when telling Henry Cejudo on table that Judo is an elite sports. I have seen Islam, Khabib and Dagestanies using these moves with Sambo, Islam threw Chalres by this in the fight.
My late uncle retired from a life long law enforcement career in Louisiana and his Judo expertise served him very well throughout a very dangerous career. . .he was jumped many times, shot more than once, stabbed at least once that I know of and wounded by a shotgun blast through his cruiser windshield. . .He fought many shirtless men and his Judo served him to capture, arrest and control brawling prisoners hyped up on drugs or booze.🥋🇺🇸
Judo is an awesome self defense martial art. Its super easy to toss the untrained and imagine the damage you can cause if you throw someone like that onto concrete.
Judo, which has its origins with the samurai, is a 3 step system for killing: throw them, break their arms, strangle them. One two three. Modern Olympic judo is all about the first step these days really.
Because they assume that if u r thrown on ur back with force..u will be in a state of shock..and the person who throwed will not only be more confident and skilled but also in advantageous position to attack..while u would be not just shocked,injured and Arm and body movements restricted...so u are assumed to be k!lled and ippon signifies death.
My uncle told me a story about my mums brother who was getting bullied in school. One day my uncle told him a judo move to use against side kicks. Another day he was being bullied and one of them threw a kick at him and all he had to do was step to the side and knee him in a certain part of the muscle in his leg and he did that and he was left on the ground screaming in pain as he gave him a dead leg witch basically stunned his leg.
I love judo. I study mixed martial arts. Judo jujitsu kick boxing boxing Muay Thai wrestling. I'm absolutely in love with jujitsu and judo part of it. Nothing better than taking a punch thrown at you and turning it into a throw. Love it
As a bjj guy who has just now began training in judo for little over a month, I can promise anyone that the name judo is a bit of a misnomer. There's nothing gentle about it!
Sport judo is cool. Tough guys. But the rules just keep it from being truly martial. When anything goes judo changes shape. No dancing holding hands occurs.
Drilling people on their back is not being cold, as much as it is preventing the person getting thrown from wiggling on to their side or legs and losing the big point.
I don't agree that it's the coldest sport, but yeah, it is really badass with the walkoffs. Also, I think it's one of the most underrated martial arts.
@@zenitram8322 Made some searches and that there is this side-ways variation, the Yoko Tomo nage (Hope the name isn't butchered). That looks so fascinating as they go sideways with the suicide throw. Thanks for your comment and help!
I am a purple belt in jiu jitsu, not a very good one, but i tell people if you want to train to protect yourself and end a fight quickly, judo may be the ultimate. Wrestling also. Being able to toss or slam your attacker on the pavement is lights out. If I was younger, i would train judo along with jiu jitsu.
@@korallrev3497 BJJ has all of the same throws Judo does, plus throws involving leg grabs, unlike post-Olympic ruleset Judo. They're the same martial art, just with different specialties. I don't know why you're getting so upset.
Good video but the coldest sport is sumo. The audience sits next to the stage and the purpose is to slam a man three times bigger than a normal purpose into the audience. If you show too much emotion, you are reprimanded and sometimes fined or denied promotion in the rankings.
