Great comments everyone! For once it’s an awesome comment section. Talk to you guys tomorrow!

It's an interesting point that one of the ways in which submission fighting has an advantage over striking is that you can go much harder without seriously injuring your partner, and therefore a judoka can "friendly spar" at 90% whereas a boxer might "friendly spar" at 70% (you also develop sparring experience a lot faster in submission fighting styles because you can go several intense rounds every class). That said, in real style vs. style full contact fights, not sparring, we still see the submission fighter purist generally outperform the striking style purist (early UFC and Pride is a good example of this).

I want to say not even 70%, maybe closer to 20-30% unless you're really skilled like Jeff Chan or something. Going 100% is sure to gas yourself out so in a combat sports environment people are probably going 60% on average and dialing it up or down as necessary. If you spar at 70% you'll hurt each other, especially if you're not that skilled/fit. You can get tired and make mistakes--I say this with personal experience.

​@@SeanWinters It depends on the competition. In KOD it's more like 10 seconds, but in most mainstream MMA competitions it's more ambiguous. They give them time to work but if no progress is being made they can be stood up after 30 seconds or a minute (however long the ref feels is right). The big problem with that is that it incentivizes stalling. The concept of MMA is minimal-rules free fighting, and the introduction of a standup rule (and rounds) creates a perverse incentive for people to lay and pray. As a consequence, not only is submission fighting weakened, it's also much less exciting to watch in MMA than it would be if fighters needed to fight their way out and take some risks. It's a slightly separate issue, but wall fighting has had a similar stalling effect but for takedowns. The standard approach now is to run backwards as fast as possible when someone's trying to take you down and lean against the cage. With the cage as a "third leg," fighters are just way more stable than they would be against the ropes or standing in the middle of the ring, again slowing down the action; this is less a product of a rule than the physical structure of modern MMA though.

I'm a judoka. I've dabbled in MMA and have 32 years of Judo experience. When I did Judo with a boxer I found that his footwork and sense of balance were excellent. So, I wouldn't suggest that they are easy to throw. Boxers have to have an understanding of posture and balance to generate effective punches.

True to some point, especially with boxers (as compared to kickboxers), but i’m sure once you closed the distance and put your hands on him it was game over. They do have some defense to offer, but their balance is not suited for grappling obviously. Not trying to cancel strikers by the way… to be a pure grappler with no real striking experience is a huge disadvantage all by itself, can end really bad for the grappler against the striker.

@@chimyshark I interpreted him differently (perhaps he can clarify). My reading is that judoka can go relatively hard even in a sparring session (as opposed to full contact, full force fighting) because they’re confident they can execute their techniques without seriously injuring the opponent. The boxer might want to hold back more because at the same intensity level, win or lose, his shots actually would be causing some injuries. That is, because judo gives you the option whether to hurt the opponent, and boxing does not, judo may have an advantage in friendly sparring matches. To dmfaccount’s point, however, this paradigm would evaporate in a “real” fight like an MMA competition where both fighters are actively doing their best to hurt each other, but even when we watch “real” style vs. style matches, the grapplers are overwhelmingly favored to win.

If one can only train in just one art, grappling is way superior. Think of it this way. Even a decent high school wrestler would be a big problem for even a boxer like Mike Tyson to handle. But a high-school aged amateur boxer would have NO CHANCE against a NCAA D1 All-American wrestler. The wrestler would shoot for a takedown, and Tyson has ONE CHANCE to land that perfect knockout punch. If he cannot get that one punch KO, the wrestler will clinch him, pick him up, and slam him to the concrete.

For a grappler is ridiculously easy to take a striker down. For a striker is really diffucult to keep a fight on the feet against a grappler. Once the fight goes to the ground the striker has nothing to do.

The explanation of mismatch of intention is SO spot on!

Great video. Love the Judo ones. Would love to see you take some beginner Judo classes to add to your commentary! (When you feel up to it).

i agree with you that there was an intent mismatch. 0:44 those strikes were all probes, and pretty poor ones at that. he just wasted every strike. unless you're fighting against a skilled striker, you don't have to waste everything to probe. for example, a pro boxer (e.g., pacquiao) would have been throwing real crosses at the head that would stun/knock down any non-pro striker. imo, this was a mix of both intent mismatch as well as skill level. the boxer didn't appear to be that dangerous of a puncher either.

Nothing wrong with crossing the feet when you already have a solid RNC in place. I think Judokas often stand right foot forward. I know wrestlers do. I think it would be interesting to watch this match if they exchanged equipment. Have the striker wear the Gi and be barehanded and the Judoka shorts and boxing gloves, lol

Good thoughts on striker vs grappling. I had some of the same ideas, but you put it much better.

Love your videos Jerry. Stay awesome

Judo typically has strong hand forward. Southpaw in judo is orthodox in striking and vice versa

Obviously the judoka knows well how to deal with strikers and has a good defense before going in for the takedown. Grappling can be king in a one one one fight but it can put you in a dangerous position in a delf defense situation.

I think the issue with most strikers to try to bring up a different area of discussion is that most mid to low level strikers aren’t great power punchers. If there’s no power to a shot or fear of a strike there is no ability to change the position of the opponent and thus actually continue the game of striking, which requires space. All a grappler has to do is tank or use striking as a means to an end to get into a clinch or mask a shot attempt. This is especially true, when the grappler realizes the striker can’t hurt him.

Grappling is a fundamental part of fightinf, armed or unarmed, because it teaches you to control your opponent and take away his ability to defend himself. Even traditional kung fu is about 50-60% wrestling, same goes for karate.

Crossing the feet is acceptable if its above the waist so he's ok

I like your cmemts. I train judo and did some time in an mma gym. Found it really interesting the intentions of all the different arts. And in particular the sports endgame. 10 point good sir

I do agree. The judo guy did well. The boxer using gloves removes any hope of a grappling defense - the even an untrained one. And his attacked were less then optimal as he was going to the body, not linking or moving with the understanding that the guy wanted to grab. I enjoy these fights but the issue is multiple. No grappling is not better then striking. But Boxing (and striking in general) is only two skills (movement and punching). When I was young I had to deal with gangs and people trying to grab and unless I wanted to we didn’t because I struck for two reasons - to harm and to set up sweeps. I only once was on the ground with a grapplers because I was not trying to fight them I let them find out how hard walls, floors and tables were. Because as I say being a bigger black guy people tended to want to bring a friend. To fight well (or even in self defense) you need multiple skills and no one is most important or supreme. Can’t fix a car wit just a wrench set - you need the entire tool box. So to be a good enough fighter you need some boxing, kicking, tripping, moving and grappling. Get well soon and take care is yourself!

The gloves help a lot in allowing him to punch harder without breaking his hand though. It's a tool, not a handicap (unless you get grappled).

I think you’re absolutely absolutely right about the intention mismatch. I’ve got boxing and judo in my history. And I can imagine if I was boxing it would be a little more like sparring. But in judo, the idea is to submit the person as quickly as possible. So I think you’re making an excellent point.

You make a good point even though it's going over a lot of people's heads. You can friendly spar grappling and get to a point where you clearly win without hurting the other guy vs striking where it just doesnt work that way. Ive seen boxing sparring matches where the worse boxer thought he was winning just because the other guy was taking it easy on him. And there's a slippery slope where for the better striker to command respect and get the other guy's attention he's risking putting him in the hospital, so they get in the habit of erring on the side of caution and pacing themselves.

Great points, I've made them many times. I'm a striker and when I spar with grapplers I always assume I will lose. Because their technic can be applied gradually in a non hostile situation, but mine can't. I'm not gonna try to nock them out or risk severe damage, so I'll just control connect until eventually I'll be under a lock

1) In Judo dominant hand is in front (mostly for having a strong grip). Ofcourse you can change stance and work both stances (like in Muay Thai). 2) That was a failed uchi mata.Bad executions can do their job done on non grappling fighters like here, dont have to be perfect. 3) There is nothing wrong crossing your feet, its also coming natural from human body.BJJ guys did the same at start, as they are a Judo variant. 4) Striker can win a grappler if he keeps the distance and hit fast and hard.But if a grappler catches you, its over.

Yes, the mismatch of intention tends to have this tap-out outcome more often than not. Also, if the striker is wearing boxing gloves he or she will have a huge disadvantage as soon as they are in a clinch (like, how are you going to grab anything yourself?) What is a grappler to do though? The victory condition is a tap-out. This is probably why wrestling has pins instead of tap-outs. In sparring, opponents have to acknowledge what would be a stunning blow if it was full force. Maybe some kind of understanding has in place for these mixed style tests.

One of the best jiujitsu fighters alive actually only has his fingers on his right hand (just a thumb on his left), Jean Jacques Machado, and it doesn’t even slow him down. I think the bigger question is, if he had the grappling prowess to out-grapple the judoka, why he decided to wear boxing gloves in the first place.

The ability to apply maximum force in the much slower locks is maybe 30% on a resisting opponent, whereas applying maximum force in the much faster strike is much less (as you described 1%) because it's so difficult to connect to a moving opponent. And the ability to apply maximum force in the lock against an untrained opponent is almost 100%, whereas for striking would still be probably under 10% because it doesn't take training to dodge a punch if all you're going for is defence. It only takes training to dodge while staying in the fight.

Grappling odds might be lower than 60% if headbutts, bitting, slams and attack to vulnerable areas are allowed. The list is kinda big TBH, but people with healthy mind will often overlook this stuff. But grappling would probably do better even on those scenarios

@@marcosyy87 yeah, imagine in the pure style vs style days if the Gracie's invited champion muay thai guys, shooto guys, Kudo guys, or LETHWEI guys. I wonder how grappling would change against people that are trained to headbutt correctly. Can you imagine pulling guard (or doing anything that gives a lethwei maniac's head ability to strike you) on someone who takes that momentum and diving headbutts you? The diving headbutt is one of the most gnarly things I've ever seen. Dave Leduc has a great tutorial on it. Back in the day, I also did a video on Lethwei that featured the diving headbutt that I found on IG.

Grappling is king in ring fighting...outside of that no advantage

@@fazares I wouldn’t say it’s the king of ring fighting, but it might be the king of style vs. style fighting, which is basically dead. It is also the king of “style vs. style” “street fighting,” to the degree it’s a real thing and not a fantasy. The days of jiujitsu, judo, or wrestling, just being able to waltz into MMA and dominate everything have been over for more than 20 years.

1v1 is also a grappler’s comfort zone

I agree with what you said about mismatched intentions. I sparred a Shuai Jiao guy years ago, whose skill was only matched by his ego. Time after time I put my hand on his throat but he never acknowledged it. So probably in his mind, he dominated me 100%. What was I supposed to do? Punch him full-force in the throat? Pull a Road House on him?

0:29, crossing your feet isn't a bad idea in bjj. We tell white belts not to do that because they cross their ankles and lock them. If you have an asymetrical cross when you cross your feet (one ankle or foot is deeper than the other) it is a brilliant way to control your opponent. I do this all the time, and as a smaller guy I'm able to even better control larger opponents.

Enjoy your staying home, I am in the same situation; one week vacation in my country and after getting back to “work “. Cheers ✊🏻👍🏻

Take care and strive to be well.

What rank was the boxer ? The judoka was a black belt.

Never thought of that.

What would happen without the gloves

I'm just curious, as a boxer, when Judo guy head went down, why the hell did he not uppercut. The judo guy was moving in slow motion for god sake!

He took him out masterfully.

We need to do ufc 1 all over again people still aren't convinced anymore

Yes right handed judo players have right leg and hand forward. Its not very common to have players switch stances during a match especially at the highest levels of competition. Also some people choose to stand and throw left handed even though they are right handed. An example is Ronda Rousey. This helped her in MMA because she already stands in a natural Orthodox stance so she can strike naturally and also do her throughs. Btw the Judo throw he does here is Uchi Mata.

Your point about intention reminds me of one time i visited a boxing gym. Usually i train Choy Li Fut, my sifu is very old fashioned and we do lots of conditioning, forms, applications, and sparring. Thing is my Sifu always talked about how CTE is dangerous and how unless absolutely necessary you shouldn't be rattling the head too much, as a result when sparring we usually either slap the face, go lightly, or stop right before to indicate the hit but not cause damage, strikes to the rest of the body vary from light taps and indications to full power hits (although careful light sparring with emphasis on form is most common). The boxing gym i visited was one of those where they pretty much only do hard sparring, im aware that this is becoming less and less common with boxing gyms but nonetheless they are still around. when i boxed one of the fighters there, thinking this was a casual practice on a Tuesday i didnt think we were going to be going hard so my intent was to focus on the technique and not hit too hard, whereas the boxing guy was full on swinging. In the beginning of that round a did land a few hits but recieving a full on blow to the head, while it didnt KO me i was not in good form for the rest of that bout. Our intentions going into that bout were very different, and a striker going in with full intent to drop you is not someone to play games with.

@@FightCommentary In the moment definitely was but it was a super interesting learning experience

You can cross feet when doing a RNC if you know what you’re doing. A lot of times I will cross my feet and bait people into attacking my feet with your hands, and then wrap my leg around their hand and arm trapping them.

If you cross your feet on top of the hip/leg then there is no problem, you can apply downward pressure to that side. It's probably even less of a problem against a striker.

In judo, we generally have our dominant foot forward.

I totally agree with that. Wrestling is not violent. You can use the most deadly moves on someone without hurting them at all and it's impossible for them to reject the fact that they lost. Striking, however, is very violent. Even if you don't force the guy to submit, you will leave them battered and bruised and in pain for days and if you go to the point of beating someone with striking then they will end up easily in the hospital or the grave. The striker obviously knows this and, if he's at all a nice guy, won't want to batter his sparring partner when he knows that he himself, even if he loses, will not end up battered and broken. The striker will naturally tone it way the hell down so as not to hurt anyone but striking do anything if you don't hurt people so it's really an incompatible matchup. I'm a small guy, 5'6 130lbs, and big guys always wanna fight me because they can use their weight advantage and just bulldoze me. If they're out to embarrass me or whatever, they might not hurt me but there isn't too much I can do to them as a striker unless I have the intention of ripping their faces off and going for vital areas.. but then I'd be considered the bad guy. It's a really frustrating scenario. BJJ would solve that problem but I'm just making the same point as you.

Yo practicaba Boxeo y se lo que es pelear con un grappler, si no le noqueas en menos de 15 segundos no hay forma en que puedas evitar que te lleve al suelo.

Huh, I've not really thought about that angle, and I wonder if it is true. I can certainly see it being true in a lot of cases.

Is that a microphone or a muppet transformer?

Funniest thing ever

As predicted

That is a very very shirt. One of the shirts of all time.

the huge problem with boxing is because of the nature of the sport(and hte boxing gloves) they never learn how to control their opponents body so their opponent are always free to go inside,boxers knows only to strike leaving them vulnerable to grapplers,especialy with their "defence" covering their face with both of their hands,puting their elbows so high leaving expose their ribs for a throw.thats hwy you see traditional martial arts to not favor this boxing defence(only in emergency situations) because you invite your opponent to grapple you,plus in general the horizontal punches that many arts use(like boxing,karate etc) gives even more space for your opponent to shoot in and grapple with you versus the horrizontal punches that you cotninue ti have your elbow looking down so close the disatnce easyer if your oponent is going for a take down.1 of the reason many fighters and arts favors the vertical punch(buss ruten,wing chun)

Yes, dominant foot is forward in Judo.

The throw is Uchi mata btw

the throw was uchi mata.

So I should practice judo before boxing?

assuming you don’t intend to become a professional MMA fighter, just practice whatever you enjoy the most

One way to bring the level of intensity of the boxer is to use lighter pair of gloves. e.g MMA gloves

Both boxing and Judo are lethal if you learn them both and use them together. Judo without the use of grabbing a ki or clothing to perform a throw is better

Grappler have an advantage not because of intention..

I love judo and karate I made my own hybrid

Crossing your feet is allowed in judo and is the preferred method you just don't want to do it in BJJ, diffrent rule sets.

I was wondering why you were sporting that shirt... Hang in there, Jerry. Take care of you.

In my opinion in the early ufcs the strikers didnt know who they were fighting until now they know more antigrappling

I studied Isshinryu Karate, but Isshinryu is a combination of both striking and grappling. I am an A+ striker, but I actually know over 250 and probably around 300 unique submissions. There are 800 pressure points on the human body, which mid-level black belts know all of them.

Take care of yourself Jerry.

A nice Gene Labelle tribute!

Why the boxer don't wear a Gi? The ones who talk about the boxer wearing gloves.... Look at the times when they don't.... You can break your hand with one unlucky punch.

We always have our dominant hand/foot leading, yes

I wonder how it would change if a kickboxee or mauy Thai martial artist fought him.
