• Rethinking the Belt System - Shintaro... r

[ericthomas]

Thank you Shintaro and your co host. Please please if you could continue to go to these events and commentate the tourney for us…? You are good at it, easy to listen to and understand. And I appreciate you giving the bjj player kudos for the skills he has. Not just a tribal shit talk fest. And for all you nerds who think the bjj guy was trash.. He was playing against a national team member for Team Canada. That’s what that lil patch on his back means. Not just a lil piece of dojo merch you can iron on.

[bfish]

The concussion is especially pertinent. Thats what retired me from judo. Guy headbutted me (accidently) on entry, I think he did drop sei nage, right on my head, I got knocked out. Next thing I know match is over and I'm walking drunk.

[kazio]

since i started watching his videos my judo skills and tournaments are only they're going up.
have a nice day

[Mr.Brightside]

I love all grappling sports but it's pretty sad to see comments that judge an entire martial art based on the performance of one practitioner. Seems like he deserves a little respect for acknowledging his weakness in his stand up game and is working into Judo to strengthen it he's wearing a white belt after all I've met quite a few black belt and brown belts in judo who couldn't do a simple reguard from side control no one shamed them for trying to get better.

[cesarsjogren]

God bless him. Way to push your boundaries

[keropnw]

Bjj guy did well but couldn't get his game to work after the initial attempt, Judoka did well to escape the submissions. Bjj guy also spiked himself to turn out which should have been ippon like 4 times.

[devriestown]

I've trained bjj six years.

Judo, one year plus ➕️.

Most bjj schools i trained at didn't even teach brake falling SERIOUSLY 😢😢

[James-wdib]

Judo for balance/opening IQ, standing throws, rolling throws, really low crouching throws, sweeps, static locking.
BJJ for leg shoots/takedowns/tackles, mat IQ, lock juggling, and submissions while expecting to be kicked/punched.
Choose your weapon, or dual-wield

[THE-zvvj]

bjj has zero preception of being walked right into those seo nagi s . its almost like he trips over his own feet.. That throw is a great head smasher on the street

[BigUriel]

It's a good effort but I feel this exemplified the problem with BJJ and relying primarily on it. It doesn't work very well if your opponent won't play your game and go down on the ground with you. It's a very good system, but only for a very specific application.

The rudimentary throws and guard pulls they learn might work against strikers who can't see it coming, but they're not taking down an experienced judoka with them unless he wants to go down.

[savir]

Judo and Jiujitsu need each other. Both sports benefit from one another and basically are siblings metaphorically. 1st dan black belt here, I think we should start to appreciate eachother sports more and work together to develop our own "complete systems" I welcome anyone from JJ to come to my club anytime to learn our ways

[ericlee]

don't be scared of the belt, fear the backpatch ;)

[KingOfSwords]

Pretty much what I expected. BJJ has become the trendy sport of the masses. Even supermodels are doing it now 😂. They don't learn ukemi, so they land on their heads.

[Refresh]

So i'm guessing doing drop throws, has more chance for the Uke to land on their heads?

[chrisdonovan]

My tachi is garbage, but my ne waza is at least competent. I've been doing Judo since 1987 when they gave you more time on the ground. These days, if you can't start the pin, choke or arm bar within two seconds, I don't think it's worth the effort. The window of opportunity for success starts to close the moment you hit the mat. Even if you have a skill set on the ground, the ref has to understand that you are actually making progress, and that's subjective.

[squibload]

I've never seen a two-wazari ippon before this.

In 1993 I was 34 when I started judo in Scotland. I was always the lowest belt in the club and was sparring with young browns. (I made green in my first competition.) At first I was the throwing dummy. But I learned how to evade so well that even the sandan sensei had a hard time throwing me. Against the browns it always ended up in ne waza where I had a chance. I like strangles. But I occasionally got in a good morote seoi nage.

[felipestrm]

I am an experienced bjj guy starting judo now, loving it. I am going to compete next week, I had 4 judo classes total. During training I am trying to do pure judo to learn. But during competition obviously I would like to reuse some BJJ skills to increase my chance of winning. Any suggestions for me other than sumi? Thank you very much!

[abdullahabdulaziz]

The fight ended exactly like how I expected it 😊

[stlouisix]

Shintaro Higashi gives very natural commentary

[hellwroughtangel]

He should watch Natsumi Tsunoda and how she sets up her arm bars with tomo nage attempts. Her ground work is so good.
