Self Defense Judo, Defense against the One Two punch, Preventing the Over throw 

I like the way you ended that. “If you’re getting bombarded by mma fighters then you are probably doing something wrong.” Good stuff

For the people who never get thrown, getting to the ground is humiliating.

Why hit the other guy when the ground can do it for you 🤷‍♂️

People often underestimate throws. Most don't realize that it can cripple a person or outright kill them if they land on their head or neck.

Ive had 2 situations so far where I had to fight. In both cases its always the right haymaker. And even worse, theyre telegraphed to the max until its actually more funny than scary. For self defense, knowing how to deal with a right overhand probably covers 70% of what one needs to know. The rest is chaos so any sparring could suffice as training I had an epiphany the other day. If you use the ground as your weapon, you are an earthbender. Also judo is exponentially more powerful in the streets than in a ring, because of concrete

Being left handed im so glad my dad (who was my coach) taught me judo right handed first and then a little left handed later on cause being able to be in my dominant judo stance while also being in my natural striking stance is beneficial

Please make more of these: Judo for the streets and Judo against the most common aggressive attacks.

I think Judo is the best grappling type of martial art for self defense, by far, because it teaches control from a upright standing position, and it teaches how to get your opponent on the ground with very minimal energy used on your part, simply by using mechanical energy and leverage.

Absolutely 💯% true. I have been teaching Okinawan karate (Shuri Te) for forty years and doing it for over 40 years. What I also teach are the locks, chokes, holds, throws and defenses found within Judo because of their versatility and effectiveness. There's nothing like punching a guy in the face with a sidewalk LOL. My Japanese grandfather was a student of Kano BTW.

I would be terrified if I was judo thrown into the air and land hard on the ground

Excellent transition from one fighting system to another. Very useful for street fight self defense

Not too long at all, I could watch this for hours. I love see how Judo can apply to real world battles. Great presentation, guys!

Running away fast from the situation really is a good option.

As usual, your teaching style is so easy to understand. Your experience level shows in the little things you do and say like your comment about slapping as related to a lapel grab and how it's virtually the same as a punch parry. You really understand your moves. As far as knees, most people are NOT trained fighters so they won't use their legs at all. Being a 5'3" nihonjin, most fights I've had were with bully/brawler types. They do not understand kicking. Even boxers don't think upper AND lower. You could tell so many commenters are armchair quarterbacks and haven't experienced the chaos of an actual confrontation. Even with constant drilling, it's hard to react. Then, there is also the difference between tournament and street.

Nope, it definitely wasn't too long ha ha! Brilliant vid, full of realism. As a BJJ student with strong emphasis on self defence, who realises most BJJ classes don't emphasise take downs enough, your channel has become one of my all time favourites. I also absolutely love your no-gi playlist. Thanks so much! My other favourite is TeachMeGrappling. You two guys are epic, I'm very jealous of your real life students.

I'm taking Judo, officially decided, I've always know Judo is IT for me after playing Paul Phoenix all these years...this is IT, thank you Shintaro!

Only place to find this kind of stuff, keep it coming!

As an MMA coach coming from Judo, I teach it the same way you told here. MoroteGari is the #1 throw to be offensive and KoshiGuruma if the opponent strikes first. What I would add, is pressure to the fences. Just have your guard up and run into the opponent, maybe you catch one or you don't but afterwards your opponent is in your lair, so the fight should be over fast ;) Even for amateur MMA this is enough standup for winning 9 of 10 fights^^

Exactly. That ending was great. Great video. My coach said “if I’m not getting paid why would I fight? My pride? Ha!”

Cool! Judo really helped me in BJJ! Honestly, all you need is Judo and boxing and sparring really good BJJ and Thai fighters (my thighs still hurt 20 years later).

Thank you Sensei. I'm a teacher. One day a student of mine threw a punch at me. He was kidding around but didn't realize he had created a dangerous situation. I was not expecting the punch. I parried the blow with my left and he ended up with his punching arm across his face. I attribute my reaction to Jack Krystek who spends quite a bit of time on grip fighting. The kids facial expression was hilarious because he didn't think an "old man" could move so fast. He never did that again. Great kid, but he wasn't using his head that day.

Great stuff. Well explained. Especially about being realistic on who you're fighting against.

Facts. Ima pure boxer. It humbles you. I remember I had to wrestle a dude once and I was gassed. But I’d box everyone in my gym 5 intense rounds.

"The more you train, the less likely you are to put yourself in a position where you're attacking anybody." This is so true. Not that I ever had an inclination to start fights, but I always thought that I could kick someone's ass if I ever got into one. And that was before I started training, where even the most controlled and light sparring put me in my place.

To those of you bragging about "gun-fu" or having lots of firearms, guns only work when you have them in your hands. Many times attackers attack when the gun isn't in your hand. Martial arts deal mostly with parts of your body that are always attached. Even if the gun is in a holster on your person, an attacker can have you in trouble before you have time to access it because you don't always know your attacker until you're attacked. This is why it's important to learn what is taught in these videos. I'm not trying to throw hatred at firearms, as I am a gun owner myself. I'm just putting a little reality in the picture.

I love the mention of trained fighters not fighting often! People always say the same shit when I'm teaching self defense... well I'd just do this or that. Yeah most people that start fights aren't capable or controlled enough to react in time.

The key to that sequence is making sure your lead foot is on the outside of his lead foot when you are left versus right

This is why we train ,keep it up !shentaro.

From my practical experience I can assure, that the technice works. There are just two problems 1. The Judoka is not trained to block punches. which means you will get hit. 2. The fight is not over when both men hit the ground.

Thank you for that video, sensei. Defense against techniques of other martial arts systems would be a great thing to practice, for every class lesson.

Finally judo in settings outside the dojo. I need to see more of these keep them coming ! Oss

Splendid! Although I think I figured out most of those principles way back, they should be taught at each judo club. Forget about kata. This is what you need to train. I could argue that a better defense against a right cross/hook, would be to roll/dodge, but that is on the margins.

Solid technique... hit your opponent with the earth.

I completely agree I m a Kajukembo practitioner in Spain and we use some of this throws, judo is my second most love martial art

I LOVE this video. It is truly applicable. Most people who have really been into a street fight are not keyboard commandos that we often see frequent RU-vid. I appreciate the "closing the gap" portion of this instruction. Keep posting more content. I appreciate you and the content you put out. Emotions play a lot in real life altercations, so to have movements like this ingrained into muscle memory with repeat practice can help out a lot.

It’s interesting the styles of judo. IJF style where you have to correct your judo for overthrowing vs old school style of judo where you land on uke with hip down. Interesting evolutions, thank you for show-casing!

Nice! I think that if you drop your hip on their ribs or sternum can be more effective, but you shoud need a new uke for the next video

This is too nice, If I’m in self-defense mode, I’m going for Eyes, throat, groin, knees forget the throws

Love this. Excellent. What a great teacher. Thank you.

Amazing, real practical martial arts training as was originally intended.

The ending is gold. Thank you sir

Great lesson and you're really speaking with common sense. I enjoyed this a lot!!

On a good day you will encounter 2-3 or more assailants on the streeet. The LAST thing you want is to wind up on the ground - on top of your assailant or whatever (really bad for your health if it's "whatever"). The leg sweep you showed early in the vid is the best counter and more than likely will stop the fight because the fellow that's hitting the ground is easily broken in 2 or 3 places. Thanks for posting!

You just entered judo territory zone!

Good job. Thank you.

From a jiu-jitsu black belt I really liked the presentation which is on point...great job

The advantage we have Is nobody except us really understand our movements and what we can do. Im a short guy and they dont know that having a low point of gravity Is a plus in a judo enviroment. 😊

I really like this channel, but the problem is that on the streets there's no orthodox positions, most of the time we learn and train in the gym, when for the 90% of the cases you didn't face no one of the situation you learn/train in the gym. We have to make the training most real as possible...For example use the same dress you use for your everyday life, if you dress a uniform for example, classic shoes in the street doesn't give you the same grip as a naked feet on the gym's mattress, just to make one example of what mean to me 'real'...But anyways, I really like and learn your lesson anyways and the merchandise... @Shintaro Higashi did you sent merchandise in UK ?

This man is smart.

Your really good explainer👍🏼🙏

In the street, I'd highly recommend doing the throw WITHOUT dropping WITH him AT ALL. I've practice 5 martial arts, and the advantage of Judo is the option to put THEM on the ground while YOU stay on your FEET....to handle the THEIR 2 BUDDIES (AT MIN, ON AVERAGE) JUMPING IN!!

I love how traditional martial arts are adapting and proving the art can be useful in "real situations": judo, karaté even TKD can be applied by the right person with the right technique.

I’ve never seen someone throw a jab in a street fight. It’s always the looping right hand or big guys sometimes throw standing hammerfist style punches. Here in Canada you also get hockey fighters who are good at mixing control by gripping your shirt with punches.

Great video! Keep up the great work!

Thanks, I was really curious about that (just started Judo, but I did some combat sports in the past) :)

This is good stuff and you should show more street self defense using Judo in real world situations

Great info, great sense of humor too!

One of the best things about combat sports is the confidence it gives you. When you fight with people all the time who actually know what they are doing, what is the point of getting into a fight with some idiot on the street (usually outside a bar)? You want to call me a pussy. Fine I'm a pussy. What do I care? I know I'm not a pussy. Say whatever you want.

Very good!

I am that guy, I am a Judoka Brown Belt and a 20 year boxing student. I have practiced Judo with punches, not all punches are perfect and those that know how to punch for the most part are too damn tired to go around seeking to fight people. Point is practice with a person you trust that knows Judo and throw punches at each other while you trade blocking them. You will find where the balance is, I will say at full speed it’s very much possible to throw an opponent. Close the distance and learn where to place your hands for the throw because there is no Gi. For me, basic throws worked the best. Inside or outside reaps, hip throws. Some people don’t stand in a fighting stance when they throw so I will practice both in a fighting stance and someone standing square. Main thing is close the distance fast, you might block the punch or take the power out of it and then feel for the throw all in one beat (one rhythm). For someone that has never been thrown try to remember your first time, I have a journal about self-defense and martial arts journey where I wrote about it. It’s disorientating, like being in a washing machine, is what I wrote.

Good.. keep going

Thanks for the good defense training for the streets

I really like your Channel! Subscribed!

I use judo and wrestling together. I don’t block with the right hand, I swing it past his head and the use the momentum to initiate my throw. Or I swing in and snag the underhook. Underhook preferred. They hit the ground and then I go to knee on belly and hammer fist them until they scramble. When they roll over to get up I wrap the waist and use a modified mat return where I let go with my left arm causing them to land on their back and I repeat the process.

Thank you

You have to go for the trip, everytime. If your quick enough you can block the left/right hook and step into the hip toss. The step in evades the second punch coming.

That's some good no nonsense combat Judo, no pretty camera techniques, just.good defense and effective counters, too bad most Judo schools have gotten Away from this

Exactly the lesson I've learned. I've practiced just enough Kyokushin, Judo, and Jiu-jitsu to never want a fight. Too bad I haven't learned more!

Awesome Video. Could we have a video on how to transition from a boxing stance to a judo stance, I feel as if I'd be at a serious disadvantage taking a southpaw boxing stance against an attacker I'm a little clumsy as is haha. The few times I have used judo in self defense/mma training my judo was more reactionary or we were tied up and I switched from there. Maybe I just answered my own question haha. Thanks for a great video anyway Shin 👍🏼

Nice!

It's really interesting to actually see these moves in an actual self-defense scenario.

Awesome, love the use of judo to finish an attacker, especially if you follow up with a knife hand to his neck or temple (my favorite finish blow) we practice Koshi often ,not necessarily going down with uki, but keeping a grip on the arm for control, likely the impact will stun him and retaining your grip on his arm gives some control to look around for his backup, but of course you could land on top crushing him with your weight, also in sizing him up initially realizing his hand attack judo gives good reaction skill for defensive parry getting a grip , launch a counter, cause off balance to him , but I would just like to mention, he is a sucker for any low kick, atemiwaza, taekwondo/karate, Hapkido- which I’m fortunate to have training in, I would blast him with a low kick as soon as I had the distance as he approached with his arms up threatening any punch, mouthing off, which should weaken his punch making it easier to get your grip, make a devastating throw, strike, choke, joint lock, whatever but any throw is great to really shake him up with little effort

Very useful

good details

Be great for you to invite a real striker to see if you could still parry the strikes. But its 100% effective against your "average joe" Great video

Excellent video. Do you teach this in your classes? I am planning to visit your academy this month.

Not that long ago saw a guy (actually a delivery driver with an attitude problem) pick a fight with a staff member on a restaurant. This staff member saw the haymaker coming, slipped under it into a kata guruma and slammed the guy down on the hard floor. This guy was out cold bleeding on the restaurant floor for a few minutes before one of the other drivers took him to the hospital. This shit works and can seriously hurt people. Obviously wouldn't work so easily on an MMA fighter...but if you're fighting them you won't beat anyone with just Judo, you need to learn more stuff, that's why it's called MMA.

IMO if you come up against a boxer you are in trouble. They punch fast and hard - but are not used to being kicked in the legs or knees or taken down with a leg grab (hence the early success of BJJ in competition). Additional advice is avoid going to the floor in the street or bar - the attacker may have friends who will kick you in the head. Many street attacks from thugs begin with either a grapple or a haymaker punch. Grapples put them into Judoka/trad JJ and BJJ player zone of excellence. Haymaker can be blocked and depending where you end up there are a choice of effective throws... And as someone else commented most thugs will not get up after a full speed and power throw onto a hard surface.

Can you do a video on how Judo works without a Gi? Everybody seems to think that Judo is useless in a street fight or MMA because there's no Gi. It's stupid, but their small minds don't understand under and over hooks and the fact that unless I'm fighting a nude person, plain clothing is more than enough for Judo throws.

Just some advice for future videos; Many people put padded mats on the floor _from the start_ . 😦

I was always taught to try not to fight unless absolutely necessary in a street fight because, as mentioned, anything can happen. While your opponent may be unskilled in the martial arts, chances are good they have a weapon on them, or they attack in gangs, and both are extremely hard to successfully defend against with a single pair of empty hands regardless of your skill level.

If you throw a non-trained person, he will at least be baffled, possibly break some bones, get knocked out or die(if lands on the head)

Be careful when parrying as in reaching out to meet the lead jab .A lead jab can become a lead hook very quickly

Lean to fall folks... fall correctly so you won't be hurt. Learn this before learning to throw.

my last two fights first move from opponent was a kick to midsection to close the distance.

Melvin Manhoef vs Yoshihiro Akiyama is one of the best examples, where Judoka beat MMA fighter with effective Judo techniques

I'm sure you're tired of keyboard warriors :) but when I trained in judo, jiujitsu, and shuai jiao my instructor taught us if they try to pull you down (to roll over on top), lead with the knee. I don't want to go down to the ground in a self defense situation if I don't have to (buddies, weapons, etc), so I want to keep my balance and stay on my feet if I can. If I can't, knee him on the way down. Less control, but try it: you won't do it again after you've taken a knee like this. :)

The ground has a 100% connect rate. Its undefeated as well.

A good tomeo nage is a fairly simple action against someone who's wearing atleast a sweater or a jacket for gripping the chest. Someone not skilled won't know what happened because they went over their head + you can land on top if you follow trough, or back away from the confrontation. Most fights start with punches but end up half wrestling also if i look at alot of 'streetfights'. opinions?

So I did koshi garuma and broke someone’s rib by dropping my hip 😬 just glad I was able to use it in self defence

Great video! In my experience, tho... If you throw them hard enough, wich isnt as hard as people would think it takes... 9 out of 10 times, there is no need to continue fighting, they stay on the ground... I once was in a fight with a male rugby player, ovviously much larger and stronger than me, and obviously with some understanding of grappling since rugby has a bit of it... I did an osoto gari and he was out... He couldnt stand up by himself, and later on he told me he stopped training for a few months because he hurt himself badly in that fall... People who dont know how to break falls usually dont stand up after a throw

I love Judo and use some at my school - but the likelihood of you catching a left strike by the wrist is pretty slim. I'd stick to hip throws from power shots.

Nice..

Personally I like to land with knee in sternum then get up.. hate being on the ground because it's very dangerous.

Sir, if I may. That huge looping right (that we do see from every untrained drunk) will probably have these two other feautres: 1. The dude will always be bigger than you and his arm longer than your's. 2. His elbow will bend and his flopping wrist, thumb-tucked-inside "fist" will arc inward with the momentum that only a staggering, angry drunk can generate. I think that can lead to getting hit in the face or ear quite hard, even with yournhand on his bicep. Do you think that is a valid concern?

Awesome, I read somewhere: "never try to outbox a boxer". Even though I so know some Sport JJ and bjj I suck at,takedowns, but I`d rather do that and low kicks like Tiger shots than try to engage in an exchange.

Brill 👍🏻🥋

Terrific video

Relying on judo alone especially to a brute striker is suicide...

Judo and wrestling are the most dangerous weapons in the street but if really want set it up effective you have to take boxing lessons so you can tell the difference betwenn a distance jabber with fast footwork from a pressure short distance attacked, that way you clinch and throw at will without getting koed
