Three Epic Judo vs Karate Matches - When Judokas Throw 

Thank you for the shoutout!

Training judo, Jiu Jitsu and wrestling has made me love martial arts even more. Learning each style then integrating them during sparring makes learning addicting.

The last guys are both modern Karate (Shotokan based) . No judo involved , the throws are done in competition followed by punch (and it's quite common in the last 2 decades). First guy was Kyokushin , after his guard.

Combine even the most basic striking repertoire with a library of minimal-gi judo throws and submissions and already you will have an absolute monster.

The last two clips just looked like Japanese Karate where such throws and strike combinations are part of the art!

Traditional Okinawan karate has grappling involved from Okinawan wrestling and Japanese jujutsu. Glad this karateka demonstrated that technique

The last 2 guys are simply point style/WKF karate with takedowns, not judo vs karate. The takedowns they did are common in karate.

grappler will win most of the time gotta learn it

Motivated me to sign up to judo. have always been a boxer and a lot of stuff ends up in a clinch type position. Judo with boxing (especially a swarmer or in fighter) is GOAT.

I am so glad you got your passion back! Love your content!

I've seen those three judo vs karate vids, they are awesome ( though I'm pretty sure the last one is just karate grappling ) And the MMA fight was awesome. I subscribed to the dudes channel ☺️.

Pure Kyokushin's weakness against Judo is that some Kyokushin guys love to get in close and just hit their opponents with body punches and surprise head kicks. Problem is, that is exactly the range that basically gives Judo a free throw if the Kyokushin guy doesn't train any grappling.

Judo + Karate is the real shit.

Pretty sure the last fight is Shotokan. There are throws and take downs in karate. Not all styles but Shoto has them and Wado (being a blend of shoto and JJ) has a large amount of grappling and take downs and locks.

As a judoka, I am very confident as long as the opp has a jacket to grab onto. I will go as far as to say I can reliably win against any beginner even if they are strongman competitors (all types of wrestlers excluded). It's just too easy to get a sleeve grip and it's game over after that. In no-gi however, though I'm decent I can't be as sure

That grip and pull strengh from the judo guy at 0:28 really stood out!

Great stuff as always! I was wondering if you had checked out Goju Ryu irikumi? From the videos I have seen, it appears to be okinawan karate with mma rules! You might enjoy checking it out!

And about that kick (gancho) which is portuguese for hook, is called Ura Mawashi Geri (Ura for spinning, Mawashi for roundhouse and Geri for kick).

Full contact karate with throws is a beautiful thing

Just to say how much I enjoy your vids, you are obviously pretty knowledgable but its your clear enjoyment of what you do that really shines out in your enthusiastic commentry and makes this channel so watchable. Cheers mate, all the best.

every time the grapplers are not worried they might get a broken nose or jaw, gives them confidence.

last throwing clip is sport karate these throws and sweeps are allowed in modern kumite also that gun shell is called ura mawashi geri/hook kick, youre welcome :)

Judo is one of the best martial arts along with Wrestling, bjj, kickboxing and Muay Thai. The only problem is that it is too dangerous to use. The technique of throwing on the concrete floor can cripple or even kill the opponent. So they are taught never to fight with normal people on street. One of my friends is a professional judo player. He said he can decide which part to hit when throwing an opponent to the floor. He also said that he is trained to block punches and kicks. He said that once the opponent is wearing any kind of clothing, he can knock the opponent to the ground. He once had a fight with professional taekwondo players, and he said he was able to subdue 3 people with judo alone.

At 0:46 Nice Tai-Otoshi into an armbar. Amazing combo.

Just checkin and I'm subscribed already. You are great to listen to!! Keep it coming oh yeah

🍋 my name is ..jerry 😑 ...aaah america 😂😂😂

Throws were an integral part of original karate... just because someone uses a throw does NOT mean they're using Judo! By the look of them they are both Shotokan karate and you can use throws in my sport karate comps though not all.

No joke. Had a 20 year black belt in karate come to jiujitsu. Got wrecked by white belts. He literally said. There is no ground game In karate.

I love your channel man. I don't visit as often anymore tho unfortunately. but I'm getting back into it xD

The red belt is probably just because the other guy had as blue gi on Judo you change the gi color, karate you change the belt color for competitions

If it is under Kyokushin rules, of course it'll be a handicap to a striker. Take out the "no punching to the face" rule and no headgear like in MMA to make it fair for both fighter

The last match was 2 Karate point fighting dudes not Judo vs. Karate.

Works one to one, but in real self defense it is better to stand high. Cause the friend is standing nearby to kick your head off.

it's nice to see that there are still judokas who use atemi-waza, although I didn't know that there were competitions like this between karateka and judoka, but it's understandable considering that karate has time-limited grappling. I hope that these kinds of competitions will become more frequent as judo is slowly turning into sumo

A grappler/wrestler will usually win a confrontation over a strike focused art, including boxing.

Final fight is a Karate vs Karate points match. It is not judo but of course owes a huge debt to traditional Jiu Jitsu and likely Judo also. In the UK and Ireland for example this type of points fighting is often seen. Karate styles like Shotokan are exactly like this and Wado Ryu which has a base in traditional Jiu Jitsu displays this type of striking into takedown, sweep or throw. A perfect example of this style is Lyoto Machida the former UFC champion. Judo is great but it’s a lot easier to take a guy down when you have already softened him up with a punch in the teeth. The hooking kick is called a hook kick btw 😊 great breakdown video, v interesting.

Original Karate has Punch, Kicks, Elbows, Grappling and Throws a True Martial arts but for some reason some people excluded Grappling and Throw from Karate.

4:00 thats not judo, thats full karate shotokan

The last fight was a Karate match aka Kumite back when throws were allowed in WKF rules. Rules are different depending of the organization/style (JKA for example). It still are allowed but by only grabbing with one hand, which sucks, so not many practitioners do. That kick that resembles some kind of scorpion kick its called Ura Mawashi Geri.

This happened a lot in the 70's and the smart karate guys took our gis off and then fought in shorts.

At 4:00 that was two shotokan karate guys. Shotokan has a few basic judo throws mixed in

Had a discussion between my buddy and my kid 7 year old. Buddy does bjj and my kid judo. My buddy said come do bjj judo is limited. After a while you train on the ground but what techniques have you learned to get someone to the floor? So my 7 year concluded i stick to judo and perfect getting someone to the ground and then i’ll learn some BJJ

I thought striking in Judo wasn't permitted; otherwise, it's basically Jujutsu.

For strikers to equality of technique here, there should be no head gear/pads, because the grapplers (judo) can apply full power in locks/chokes/holds. it should be bare knuckle and bare foot on both sides. This is the only way you can determine if striking martial arts or jujitsu/judo type marital arts, have the edge, in cases where each exponent sticks exclusively to either striking/grappling. Balanced martial artists are proficient in both, but these fights are about one, against the other, so full contact/no protection/gloves.

the fight at 4:00 isn´t Judo vs. Karate, it´s Karate vs. Karate! It´s modern sport Karate. I don´t know the rules today, but in the early 2000´s throws were allowed, as lang as you don´t grip longer than two seconds. So you could threw and follow up with a striking technique. The throw doesn´t score points per se, but you score higher than with a single punch if you follow up. The rule are in constant change, but this style with throws becomes famous with the success Rafael Aghayev, and we started to train more throws and judo falling techniques as competitors 20 years ago.

Great video Jerry.

no judo-ka in 4th clip. it's point based kumite, where they do throws and leg sweeps followed up with downward punch.

You know what just occurred to me mostly all the street-level comic book characters in marvel and DC are mixed martial artists like Daredevil Batman and Black Canary.

In kyokushin we don't have red belt

The thing thats so great about judo is u dont have to only do judo u can get good at strikin and as soon as someone close enough to clinch u throw them sp u can control the distamce and control them when they get too close

In the first fight, if he's Kyokushin he's only a red belt, which means he's probably been training LESS than 6 months. And he's up against a black belt in Judo. Hardly a fair fight to start with.

Judo has striking, it's called Atemi Waza

Some of the stuff at the end look like European sport jujitsu. They do striking+grappling

The fight at minute 4 was not Karate versus Judo, it was in my opinion simply a Ju Jutsu tournament fight. Modern german Ju Jutsu includes techniques of Karate, Aikido, Judo, bjj, Sambo, wrestling, Boxing, Luta Livre, Escrima, Kenpo, Muay Thai and Kung Fu. Its a sophisticated hybrid style. They do sparring and tournaments where they make kumite, Kickboxing and submission wrestling in the stand up and on the ground. If you watch Ju Jutsu tournaments, you see fights very similiar to russian sambo or chinese sanda tournaments. It goes in both directions, point fighting with throws or strictly punching, kicking, throwing and groundfighting. A more civilized and softer version of mma. Greetings from a german Ju Jutsuka.....by the way, nice video....

When is the interview with the Cuban judoka that fought the muay thai guy coming out, really looking forward to it

who is stronger judo or karate ? 🤔

sorry but the last one, by my experience, shows two karateka fighting in the "shobu" way (scoring points and ko to the body) and the throws we could see here are often demonstrated in this fight style.

I train mma, but mainly wrestling, bjj, boxing and muay thai, I would like to add judo into the mix

The point kumite is just standard karate point competition and yeah, grabs and throws are allowed.

thanks jerry

Que epico ,me alegra llegar tan temprano

Jigoro kano style 💪🏽👊🏼🤙🏼shomeni rei osss

Rip karate fighters, I feel especially bad for the first one. Instant rip. There's no chance without a solid grasp of takedown defense.

My man, Karate has sweeps and CQC-style grappling. That later video with the bald kid with red gloves is clearly in a Shotokan Karate tournament, where throws like this are allowed and a part of the Karate kata.

The choke is called Hadaka Jime

There is no Judoka in that fight at 4:40 . THIS is Shotokan Karate 👊

Interesting matches.

Other detail some karates styles yet included judo on his techniques like kudo and okinawan karate. Other styles like ninjitsu have judo as ones of hia bases etc woth other japanese and non japaneses styles as systema combat.

Would be intresting if there was one or more of these with one of the karate people who learns the throws/grappling in karate. Or maybe not a comlletely astardised wado ryu. (Formers probbly more likely) Just to see if grappling as a secondary would work out better

Love grappling it usually wins the day

Throws are a pretty big part of Karate. The sparring at the end you see is just where that Karate school focus more on both striking and throws. Where it seems the other guy was not practicing throws much at all. I would not think he practiced Judo. If you look at Wado Ryu Karate its full of jiu jitsu.

would be wise for karateka to put his hair into a tight bun since he's fighting a judoka. I practiced japanese jiu jitsu, combat sambo, judo krav maga and boxing, and only in boxing practices I could let myself to have my hair like that, because it's not fun if this mane would get into hold or in some other way will be pulled/ripped in wrestling (I also had hair similarly long)

There is no judoka in the fourth match. That is Olympic karate where throws are allowed. A throw followed immediately by a punch is worth three points.

The last guys were WKF aka Olympic karate.

0:45 that face ;)

How many year to learn judo?

I mean if your hight on your legs like kyoku style ofc its gonna fall , go shotokan for more stability like mannnn

This is the problem with modern karate, it’s not a complete art like they practiced in Okinawa before it was brought to Japan

50 years in Tradional Shoto Kan karate was my main art. My father is my Sencei. 5 years old back in the late 1960s and early 70s watching Pro westling like mad dog Vachon, Killer Kowalski, Tarzen the boot tylor, my favorite, Edward Carpentier. A black belt in Karate, Gymnist, The first to do a back flip off the top rope. 5 foot 8 max. approxently 235lb. Technical wrestler like Bret Hart, fast and a lot of power and very good gentleman in real life. Montreal wrestlers. Dino Bravo, Dino Britto, Andre the giant, yes many of them came from france and moved to Montreal. I stopped watching wrestling after there was no more Ronnie Rawdy Pipper. I wanted to be like Edward Carpentier. And I did it with friends as a kid in the back yard for 25 years. As well, friends who came from other arts like Judo, Boxing, kick boxing, Kung Fu. and jujitsu. They all loved my father's dojo 46x68 feet. There is no matts just a huge concrete floor in the basement of the Ottawa boys and girls club for over 25 years. We were 80% self defence 20% sport. Thank you for this site it brought me a lot of good memories except body slamed on concrete floor it hurts. No me but, others I did to. The end😁😁

The last guy isn't cross Karate judo. It's just points karate as old karate had alot of judo Jujitsu throws and points karate would sweep and throw all the time especially back in the 90s.

Jerry you're a baritone! Are you on that liver king diet lol

Unfortunately, karate is very far behind when it comes to grappling. Combat rules prohibit extended grappling or grabbing of any kind when we should really be working on it

the judo guys got the best of the strikers because the strikers weren't strong. I'm going to prove my point, watch Bas Rutten. His strikes were to constant and too strong for the judo guys. Also, the guy you said was kyonkushin probably wasn't because they are more brutal and aggressive than the guy in your video.

The throw followed with a strike from above is a relic from old judo. You see it in texts a lot but since its more of a sport nowadays no one does it. Seems silly too considering the easy armbars available in that position.

Karate and judo are best combination like for mma

No long haired border collies in karate allowed

Ura mawashi geri to give the hook kick its name in karate

It is so obvious that karate needs to re-taught clinching and wrestling, it's basically incomplete as it is.

Judo should be respect judo is the origin of sambo and bjj, pay attention on this detail. Imagine with judo married with taido, boxing, hapkido, pancratio, imagine this style on cage or ring.

A good grappler and a good striker, the grappler wins 9 out of them times. Easy pickings

You should look up Okinawa karate throws

4:21 Fourth one is not judo vs karate. They’re both karate guys. That hip throw is taught in karate as well

None of the fighters in the last segment were Judokas

Can they not go for double legs?

The 1st match looks like Kyokushin Budokai, a style created by a Dutch guy, Jon Bluming.

The last 2 were both karate. It looks like olympic karate

Judo combined with some form of striking/kick-boxing, is an unbeatable combination, even after the silly rule changes. BJJ is impressive in it's way, but too adapted to MMA rules.

Lo mejor no dejarse agarrar y que no te lleven al suelo,es difícil pero hay que intentarlo

The last 2 are wkf karate tournaments, these are not judokas. In the wkf ruleset you are allowed to throw but not grab, once the opponent is down you can strike, if you took them down and dont punch there is no point

No judo in the last part. It could be shotokan/wado-ryu/shito-ryu.
