Chadi… strictly speaking for self defence… would you consider any type of wrestling without Gi more valuable than Judo with Gi? I mean things like no-Gi submission grappling (aka BJJ no gi), catch wrestling, or No-Gi judo more valuable for self defence? I think in a way comes down to all the arsenal of leg grabs plus techniques that work with or without clothing compared to techniques that require a “handle”.

He's spot on. Original Judo was a complete combat system. It was basically MMA with Dogi. The current rules have made it watered down almost beyond recognition.

I think the only way to save Judo is to have other organizations with different rule sets, as with bjj. They don't have to be big events in the beginning. When they attract a lot of Judokas, they will automatically be internationally recognized.

@@Reflectionmaterial I am not expert in Judo. That will be upto the Judokas who are very unhappy with the current rulset. For example , they want leg techniques back. Maybe they can come up with a safe way of doing leg grabs. Another example would be an extended time for ground fighting rather than stopping the fight as soon as they hit the ground. As I said, this will be a task for the Judokas.

olympics have been bad for judo. just as it was for wrestling, boxing, etc. the modern versions of these "sports" are only simulations of things that were once representative of real things. arbitrary rulesets and scoring systems mean training to win competition is literally ingraining many "bad habits" from the perspective of the actual martial art it is pretending to represent. i dont question whether japan can win the olympics, i only question when they will realize it is a vain and stupid thing to value. olympics are for status, social approval, etc. people who love judo the martial art are still out there im sure, training in obscurity with fellow lovers of the art kano founded, who would not trade the real for an arbitrary simulation, no matter how much the shallow society around them throws money and fame at olympians. another way to put it is that the olympics represent the absolute worst part of modern japan - that being the americanized consumeristic side. the side that stands against everything the various diverse cultural groups of old japan stood for. the old men in western suits, with western values, and western lifestyles.

​@@andrewstephens8790I have the same feeling with bjj rulesets, "position over submission" is important, however they forget to apply that in the standing game, you can not neglect that and just sit down, bjj is judo in essence. I understand why people say bjj is not practical in self defense. Which is not true, most fights end in the ground, but is a last chance situation, you don't want to go to a last chance situation from the beginning. Ideally you want to win with a judo standing throw, so you ready to run if you need. Correct mindset is: Standing position>throws>ground position>submission

Another great video. Thanks so much for sharing this with all of us. It was great to hear what Ishii had to say, very respectful but very straight forward and direct.

I wonder how & why the Japanese Judo Federation accept him as a leader ?? Hats off for your courage to speak the true about the new rules in judo !! Good video Chadi !!

Interview au top! Une légende! Et les questions étaient judicieuses. Je n'ai plus pratiqué le judo depuis plus de 20 ans, mais le judo m'intéresse toujours, comme tout les sports de combat et leur application, leur usage en situation réelle ou en MMA. Alors l'avis d'une légende pareille ayant fait la transition du Judo au MMA, forcément je trouve ça enrichissant. Je comprends sa volonté de ne pas vouloir filmer le stage, mais j'aurais adoré voir ça. Le Judo traditionnel, en tant que sport m'intéresse, mais son application en situation réelle m'intéresse bien plus encore.

Wow Amazing interview. He is also a real special Japanese Judo Master because he spends a lot of time outside Japan and speaks really good English.

Great interview. Thank you. Great title says it all. I too felt that judo was emasculated when even touching the leg of the opponent resulted in a penalty. I feel just is only half a sport now.

Thanks for the video. His take on double and single legs is 100% spot on. Chadi you rassumption that judo would attrackt more people and participants with leg grabs is also absolutely correct. The same also goes for longer ne-waza time. But I think that is precisely the reason why the cut ithese aspects in the first place. They do not want people from other grappling sports to do well in judo. God forbid if someone with a wrestling or bjj background wins a prestigeous judo torunament... Thats the same reason why they make it difficult for judoka to compete in other martial arts. They want to build a wall around judo and if they have to ban 50% of the techiques and take the athletes hostage, then so be it.

Can someone break down (or recommend a video) breaking down a history of the various judo rule changes, and how each one impacted the sport, as well as the justification for each change?

@mathieuzimmer8321

3 ай бұрын

The justifications are hard to find I guess. It's even hard to find justifications for current rules, maybe you'll find them in some judoka telling the reason they heard from somewhere else or it's told in the hour-/day long seminars which are often held after the Mittersil training camp... well even at those daylong seminars they only present the rules and are pretty short about the justifications, just accept the new rules as set and don't you dare to question them. For nostalgic reason: do you remember the times when men fought 5 minutes and women 4 minutes, when you could add up infinite numbers of waza-ari or whe 4 waza-ari add up to awasete ippon? (I pretty much liked the 4 waza-ari - rule... show some dominance and more positive scores are possible but finish it after 4 scores because of superiority...)

Another great video. I found his comment about the IJF leader not being a Judoka very interesting. Since back in the mid 80's the IJF took over ruling authority from the Kodokan for similar reasons. Their argument being, Kano's son (or grandson?) was in charge of the Kodokan, but wasn't a Judoka. Even though he respected Jigoro Kano's vision for Judo much more than the IJF. It caused a split in Japanese Judo which many of the top Japanese Judoka didn't participate in the 86 Asian Games. The Japanese didn't win as many medals as usual. I never knew about Kano's concerns that politics would effect Judo if it was in the Olympics. He was absolutely right. If you look at all of the restrictive rules, you can find political motivations at their root.

The sportivization of Judo was necessary for it to reach the size it has and to influence basically all other styles of martial arts. It's obvious that we made a mistake in only considering Judo as a sport, which wasn't even Jigoro Kano's objective, but without it becoming an Olympic sport, Judo would basically be like aikido, or something similar. Some dojo scattered around. @@jackfisher1921

Chadi this is unrealted to this topic but I was watching some of your older episodes of Kito Ryu and felt compelled to asked what style of Jujutsu were you taught-- Generally is Kawaishi's Jujutsu/Judo mandatory to be learnt with Judo in France (once again Generally speaking)

27歳から50歳まで柔道を続けてきましたが、やめました。大きな理由の一つは両足タックルが禁止になったからです。乱取りで倒してもケチをつけてくる人がでてきたのです。相手を倒す競技なのに足を手で刈ってはいけないという規則は全く理にかないません。 　近年では柔道ではなく柔術の人気が出てきたのも、柔術が技を広く認めていることに要因があるように思われます。 　現在私はMMAのジムに通い４年が経ちました。競技を変えてよかったと思っています。

is their a critical mass that could create a new group of Judo returning to the original rule set? I know the history is with the IJF and so is the olympic games but, wouldn’t it be worth the effort, to have what you want as a competitive martial art?

I've been saying this for 15 years theres judo Martial art and sport judo i hate the new rules for the sport

I’d love to chat with you about my thoughts on modern judo 👀

All sport organizations become politics and people with money and don't know the martial art lead it into watering it down and making it stupid for pop culture. Taekwondo went the way of Judo and so is Karate.
