A friend in high school took judo classes and taught me two moves, a sweep and ippon seoi-nage, which we practiced for 20 minutes, until I felt comfortable with them. A year and a half later, I was attacked by a much larger guy and put him down twice (on grass) with the foot sweep. Unfortunately, I didn't have ground skills and couldn't stop him from getting up and I lost the fight. A year later I was in the Navy and got into it at close quarters with a larger guy. I was able to time his punch and use a poorly executed ippon seoi-nage to put us both down, and the fight was broken up. Judo saved me from taking a serious beating in both fights. Twenty years later I wanted my nephew to get some discipline so we signed up together for judo classes with a South Korean master. My nephew couldn't handle it, and got out as a purple belt. I went on to earn a black belt, was an assistant instructor, and did a couple of tournaments. I loved it.

I got Judo flipped and slammed on my first week at BJJ at a studio that taught Judo as well. Immediately realized the absolute value of being able to body slam a grown adult into the cement with momentum. It was POTENT

Judo: stop people from grabbing you, stop people from tripping you, trip or throw them (opportunity to flee), and if you go to the ground, get on top so you can stand up (opportunity to flee). It’s really fantastic for what most people want to accomplish

Jigoro Kano invented Judo by modifying Ju-Jitsu. Brazilian Ju-Jitsu did not come from Ju-Jitsu. It is a modification of Judo that was taught in Brazil by Mitsuyo Maeda.

People often overlook how dangerous falling on a hard surface can be. In warfare, hitting your fully armored opponent with a sword is not very effective, but throwing him will make his armor work against him. I once slipped and fell on my side and belly; I couldn't move for a few seconds, and it was very painful.

Judo throws are great for self defence, with or without gi, but the intensity of the training/competition (pull, push, grip fighting, explosive movements and balance) is essential for the chaotic scenario of a street fight (to throw someone or to keep standing and run away).

[guillermomaguire]

I wrestled all of my youth, and into college. In college, I also did 2 years of club judo while taking a break from wrestling. When I got back into wrestling, my neutral game was so so much better. Leg sweeping and full commitment throwing really really helped. No fear of being thrown, no fear of standing straight up I got to choose at what elevation a match would be wrestled at. I coach kids that if a good shot is well defended, the transition will lead right into throws.

I’m a 43 yr old, 5’5”, 170lb no-gi BJJ purple belt. I took Judo for 2 yrs. It’s amazing for quick self defense situations. It hits your attacker with the earth. Unfortunately I was 40 when I started and it was very rough on my body at the time. Currently I do about 5 different judo throws modified for no-gi. So I like the jab, cross, hook, cross, upper cut concept with judo.

I'm a brazillian jiu jitsu purple belt and I've always had an affinity for judo. Just started training judo now aswell and I truly love it.

Trained and competed in several striking arts, wrestling and then Judo and BJJ. Judo is what I made sure my children learned for self defense. BJJ is a close second.

Judo teaches you discipline and control on the mental side . It teaches balance and the ability to use your opponents size and strength to your advantage. My 5'6" instructor could easily throw my 6"5" friend who weighed about 250 lbs . On the ground he could easily finish off an opponent with a hold down, arm lock or choke . Judo teaches you so much with a good sensei .

[danielaavendano]

I had no idea that for these reasons judo was the best personal defense there is and thanks to you I can know and learn more details about this.

[anjoLas]

Every month, bjj practicers show up in my dojo trying to learn what makes Judo so good because they simply can't defeat Judo practicers on the street or on the dojo.
This makes me proud of what I teach as I am and always will be a student.

Long live Jigoro Kano.

Judo's brilliance for self-defense shines in this video. With masterful techniques leveraging an opponent's energy, it's a martial art that empowers individuals to protect themselves effectively. A must-watch for self-defense enthusiasts

[marc-albertjaquat]

While judo is one of the most complicated sport to master, I would say it excels in self-defense because we can/must go 100% in the throw everytime as uke (the partner) knows how to break fall. In striking arts, unless you K.O. your partner, you don't really know if your technic is good.

[manuelvalera]

I am really surprised with this review about judo, it is great to be able to appreciate these modern themes here, we appreciate that you have simplified them as much as possible so that we can all take advantage of them, thanks for sharing

[johnpauljones]

Judo isn't just about the techniques. The training hardens your body and competition makes your responses second nature. Grab a Judoka and he won't even think about what to do. Based on which foot you have forward or which way you're leaning, you've told him how to throw you to the ground. And the three-finger Judoka grip is a hidden gem that surprises a lot of non-Judokas. It really is a martial art for lifetime training and fighting.

[Schrodingers_kid]

Another advantage is that anyone can throw a punch of a kick - it's rather natural, but wrestling is something you can't do on accident.
So while everyone knows how to punch (to a certain degree), very few can feel comfortably on the ground naturally, and this is what Judo teacher you.
Not speaking of still getting exercise and learning how to fall, which might help you even if you just fall under normal conditions

[londonrhodes]

I started at 39. Ive known guys who started in their 50s. Take it at your own pace and go for it!

[alexcruz]

3:06 You said it all there. Most ppl have no clue about the amount of force you'd hit the concrete with if those Judo techniques are applied with the skills of someone who knows what he is doing.
