As a guy who wrestled (still wrestle actually) and does Judo, I like to say that a Uchi Mata a day keeps the wrestlers away. Either that or a Sumi Gaeshi. If your base is Judo though and you cross train with wrestlers then you’re gonna eventually have to fight wrestling with wrestling and Judo with Judo because wrestling is about the grit, grind, and aggression. One thing I picked up in wrestling is to never stop moving, that’s what I put above all the other grappling arts.

@@stanclark3992 a lot of what you said makes zero sense, ESPECIALLY what you said about not cross training with wrestlers (I’m sorry, that’s just a dumb statement, not saying you are dumb, but that comment was indeed dumb) but I do agree on a few things. Yes, you can use Judo to finesse a wrestler who is over aggressive and reckless, after all, you’re talking to someone who trains in all three (wrestling judo and BJJ) arts. Judo however is largely a “reaction” based art unlike wrestling which is largely a “initiative” art that also has reactionary principles as well. Sure MMA is a different sport but hear me out, examples of Judokas finessing wrestlers in MMA include Rousey vs Tate, Emelianenko vs Randleman, Emelianenko vs Sonnen, Lombard vs Dolloway (that one ended in a KO but Dolloway was not good enough to impose his wrestling on Lombard anyway). In all of these examples, the wrestlers were over aggressive and their forward momentum was used against them by the Judoka. There are also examples of Judoka getting beaten by wrestlers in MMA because the wrestlers were patient and not over aggressive. The main problem and flaw with your argument is that you’re assuming that just because a wrestler is naturally tenacious doesn’t mean that a wrestler will always be reckless with their balance for the Judoka to easily manipulate, ESPECIALLY against a Greco Roman wrestler (I personally have a background in Freestyle but have done a little bit of Greco) who will be a much bigger threat to a Judoka than a Freestyle wrestler, despite the fact that Freestyle wrestlers are far more dynamic and versatile with their takedowns than their Greco Roman counterparts. Secondly, you’re ONLY thinking about the standup portion of grappling and completely ignoring the ground aspect of grappling. The Judoka of today don’t stand a chance on the ground against the wrestlers of today. Why? Because wrestlers are just as equally dangerous on the feet as they are on the ground, whereas most Judoka are not. Wrestlers are generally better athletes than Judoka are because wrestling workouts are far more rigorous and physically demanding than Judo workouts are. Because many if not most Kodokan Judo clubs neglect Newaza in their practice, not to mention in competition Newaza time is limited depending on the referee, in which most Judoka will use the guard to stall until they can get stood up whereas most wrestlers will use their grit to grind through high paced scrambles in order to assert dominant position. Let’s take into fact that some Judoka cross train in BJJ to supplement their Newaza for Judo competition (which is fine and works really well) but also look at the fact that even BJJ black belts have a very difficult time sweeping high level wrestlers on the ground, and that the only real advantage that BJJ and Judo has over wrestling is that both arts train submissions while wrestling for the most part doesn’t. Wrestlers who have been exposed to submissions and learn how to defend them (along with guard passing) create problems for both Judo and Jiu Jitsu fighters in both submission grappling and MMA. Catch Wrestlers train submissions but the CACC community doesn’t have the talent pool that the amateur wrestling, Judo, and Jiu Jitsu communities have.

@@stanclark3992 another thing I found to be inconsistent in your argument is that all you’re talking about is technique, theory, methodology, etc which I am not denying are important because they have their place, but you are largely neglecting conditioning and cardio. As my old wrestling coach used to say, “even if you’re fighting someone who’s better than you, the longer the fight goes, you will slowly gain the advantage if your conditioning is better than theirs”. There is a reason why wrestlers have consistently dominated MMA, aside from being able to dictate where the fight goes, they are in tip top damn near peak physical condition. When I say “grit” and “grind”, I don’t think you understand that it is in a wrestler’s nature to tire you out, grind you out, and slowly wear you down in the most miserable way possible. In wrestling, we are taught to bring you into the deep end of the ocean and to smother you. Where do you think a Judo black belt like Khabib gets his top pressure from? Again, you say to not cross train with other grappling arts yet you are largely ignorant of what wrestlers are actually capable of. The reason why Khabib was so successful was because he mixes his chain wrestling with Judo sequences. When wrestlers were getting submitted by Jiu Jitsu black belts in the early 90s, especially in MMA, it was because wrestlers didn’t understand the concept and the dangers of the closed and open guards. So what did wrestlers do? They crossed trained in Jiu Jitsu, learned the guard, learned how to beat it, and have largely dominated MMA since then. Wrestlers understood the importance of learning and cross training in order to evolve as grapplers and fighters. Also, Chadi probably covered it on his channel already but in case he hasn’t, during the 19th and 20th centuries, there was a rivalry between Catch Wrestling and Judo. There were many style vs style match ups between the two, but the catch wrestlers were victorious. In fact they were so victorious that many of the Kodokan Judoka that Kano himself sent to fight the Catch Wrestlers, ended up leaving Japan and traveling to western countries in order to learn Catch Wrestling in which they Judoka would eventually bring back to Japan. Don’t even get me started on the leg grab ban in Judo, and even before that, many wrestlers who were competing in Judo were hitting so many blast doubles on Judoka by simply shooting in on them without tying up, that the IJF changed the rules to where you could only shoot from the tie up before banning leg grabs altogether. Need I also remind you that Jigoro Kano himself was a student of the game as well? Where do you think Kata Guruma came from? Even many top level Judoka today have incorporated wrestling turtle attacks and turnovers into their game in order to get pins.

@@stanclark3992 now you’re backpedaling. Both wrestling and Judo are both sports and martial arts. Every single country on this planet has a wrestling culture that goes back to ancient times and both wrestling and boxing are the oldest hand to hand martial arts in existence dating back to prehistoric times. If we are talking about self defense purposes, I’d give wrestling the SLIGHT edge over Judo for one reason and one reason only. Wrestling is easy to do but difficult to master. Judo on the other hand has a very high learning curve. If you take two children, and put one of them in wrestling and the other in Judo, the child who is in wrestling will progress at his craft faster than the kid in Judo because wrestling techniques and concepts are easy to grasp and apply while it takes a long time if not years to get even remotely decent at Judo. Both are effective for self defense, but the kid who wrestled for six months will be able to take a kid down who has no grappling experience at all at will. The kid with only six months of Judo will have a tougher time but still may get the job done against another kid who has no grappling experience. Also, I’m sorry but you’re full of shit. Judo is very much “reactive”. How often do you see a Judoka get an ippon on their first attack, at any skill level? That almost never happens. Even with proper kuzushi, as you said earlier (and now contradicted yourself) that many Judo concepts revolve around using ones momentum against them whether it be forwards, backwards, or side to side. You previously stated that you would use a wrestler’s momentum against them if you fought one, hence “reactive”. This is why most Judoka threaten foot sweeps and trips and use Osoto, Ouchi, Kosoto, Kouchi, etc to set up their bigger throws because in order to defend these attacks, you have to move your feet out of the way which often breaks your balance or exposes your weak plane, which allows the tori to hit a bigger throw (koshi waza, tachi waza, sutemi waza, etc) on the uke, thus Judo being as I said, “largely reactive”. Yes, you can initiate Judo on an untrained person and not have to worry about using sequences but initiating against another Judoka is most likely not going to work. You can easily force wrestling but you can’t “force” Judo, that’s the difference between the two. You can get away with having bad wrestling but you will pay for having bad Judo. This is not my “bias”, this is purely fact. I understand when to wrestle, when to use Judo, and when to use Jiu Jitsu when I grapple. Having cross trained and been around many high level grapplers of different backgrounds, I have a much wider spectrum and grasp on grappling than you do from a technical and methodical standpoint since you literally advocate against cross training. Sounds like you have an ego that you haven’t left at the door yet, which is ironically, very “un-Judo-like” of you.

Judo has absolutely regressed, and while the current generation of judokas have not felt the effects of the leg grab ban as significantly, future generations will suffer greatly. The further we get from when these techniques are permitted in a tournament setting, the worse judokas will become as the skills involved in using and defending against these techniques won't be employed in training. Time is precious. To be successful, judokas need to be efficient in training. That means focusing on legitimate, legal techniques and tactics. The IJF has done the art a great disservice in pursuit of TV airplay and aesthetics.

@@felixkernot7378 leg takedowns are at least a third of the offense a grappler has. They aren't everything, but they're a lot Banning leg grabs will someday render judo obsolete.

This video is an incredible coincidence. I literally just started judo classes about 4 or 5 weeks ago, however I wrestled for 12 years (5 years NCAA div II), and have been doing jiujitsu (gi and no gi) for almost two years. Today, after class, to my sensei, I expressed my puzzlement of the judo stance being upright (albeit noting that greco stances are upright as well). We had a decent discussion of it, and he was saying that its easier to throw a wrestler because they're off balanced because they're bent over and leaning into each other. However, in my experience its generally not a good idea to be either leaning into your opponent or to be bent over even in folkstyle/freestyle wrestling. Sure, the stance is lower, but you shouldn't be curling your back or have your weight forward; your back ought to be straight, your head up, and your weight behind you (its not so easy to down block your front leg if you have a lot of weight on it, which is why leaning is generally not good, additionally its hard to generate power for any kind of attack if your weight is forward). I don't think the key to a good wrestling stance is being bent over, rather its having your knees bent so that you're low to the ground. Bending your knees causes your butt to be behind you, so your head comes forward a bit to counter-balance your butt; however, I consider a wrestling stance quite balanced. However, it kind of clicked for me when he said that wrestlers have a good base, but not good balance (I think I get what he's saying, but instead of balance I'd use the word position). A lot of the attacks in judo I've noticed have to do with pulling an arm of your opponent so that they step into you, in wrestling this generally isn't possible because there is no clothing to grip so that you can block an attack from your opponent (and therefore most throws are done chest to chest, or with a head and arm lock). So while I think I have an idea at what he's getting at, I still feel like a low stance could be beneficial because it can be quite difficult to get your hips underneath your opponent with their knees bent (i.e. in greco you often do see competitors lower their stances, even if momentarily, to defend attacks like high dives/body locks and underhooks, and you see a similar reaction in mma especially against the cage). I'm eager to explore this topic more because I think it is quite profound. Especially since the lower you are the more difficult it is to throw someone (i.e. if I were to lay completely flat, it is way more difficult to pick me up and throw me; this is why I'm quite confused as to why a wrestling stance is considered "imbalanced"). I'm not saying that I aim to prove judo is wrong, but I think its very interesting to highlight the different circumstances where stances are good and bad. It seems that the less rules and restrictions there are in a competition, the harder it is to come up with general principles, but maybe that's obvious. This is the very reason why I wanted to learn judo in the first place and see the different perspectives of things. Sorry for the dissertation. Grappling is the biggest interest in my life.

You made a lot of great points, but I do want to assure you of something. I know it's been a whole year, and hopefully you've been able to stay with Judo. You say that it becomes difficult to go from standing position to getting your hips lower than your opponent's, while this is true, most forward throws require that you get your hips lower, so that's something that is practiced very very often. Eventually you learn how to turn around and squat down low enough as a second nature. It also helps that when you are worrying about getting your opponent off balance forwards, they ALSO tend to become "taller", essentially standing in their tippy toes, which makes getting lower than them easier.

You develop neck strength which is the major disadvantage of judo because of the gi and the positioning when you don't have your dogi, plus unlike greco, you're allowed to sweep. Stance are almost the same, less adjustments needed. Muaythai clinch offers alot more than the 2 hands on the head, it's its own art and it perfectly compliments judo and vice versa

Ultimately, Judo is Greco Roman wrestling in clothing with more devestating throws (because of said clothing), the ability to use your legs to get sweeps and throws, and a ground game that relies on dominating the transition between stand up and the ground, pinning, and submissions. Anyone who looks at that and says it's bad for self defence is either trolling for clicks (looking at you, chael) or just an idiot

if you have a good sprawl you can wrestle very effectively from a standing position, American folk style wrestling teaches a different wrestling posture than freestyle and specifically Muslim Russian freestyle has a different stance yet. freestyle Judo is genius cuz it forces you to Grapple from a standing position which is critical for your MMA crossover potential whereas the wrestling bent-over stances are suicide in MMA.

So for example, the third attempt if it doesn't succeed should lead to immediate loss. What do you think of these rule changes?

While its definitely true that a wrestling stance is more susceptible to a guillotine choke its not like you just have to "let" someone reach over your head for the choke. Sure, you got to be very careful of chokes when you go for a double leg shot (and even a single leg can leave you vulnerable to collar chokes); however that's not really wrestling specific since double legs and single legs were in judo as well. I'm more interested in the consequences of a low stance vs erect stance when it comes to defending a throw. After talking to my sensei about this, I feel that while a low wrestling stance is valid for defending a throw, it is much more susceptible to being imbalanced.

I still hope judo rules would be reversed to allow leg grabs again and to make sure that takedown/throws won’t yield points if the attacker ends up in disadvantageous position.

I have to disagree on Chaels position of greco vs other wrestlers edge is based on posture. There are multiple reasons greco to mma vs free/folk to mma are more successful, but the main factors are a necessity for greco to have solid hand fighting in the clinch. In other types of wrestling there are more variables but that allows wrestlers to become good at a variety of skills, yet lack milage in serious handfighting. This skill transfers better to mma and sd. In both mma and sd the hands are the primary threats to include extensions there of like weapons. The sprawl is a critical grappling skill. Yet the first line of defense is footwork and range. The upright posture provides superior overall mobility. The second the upper limbs/hands to include grips and ties. The third would be the Sprawl. For grappling defense the level change ties integrally in to the sprawl. For mma and sd to include wrestler vs judoka grappling only, an immediate level change is a very simple defense upon visual cue of potential wrestling leg shot. On top of sprawl. Sumi. Tomoe. Sankaku. Uchimata. Kimura are great shot counters.

This is the first time I’ve seen someone analyzed takedown defense this well. Even as a former high school wrestler myself and a judo brown belt, I’ve never looked at takedown defense this way because I was always so focused on sprawling. Granted I only wrestled for one season so my knowledge of wrestling is limited.

there is an old video out there of a judo kid that went all the way and won the championships in wrestling. all of the techniques are a no gi judo variation and his posture was upright.

Does sumo stance also enters on the judo stance? Because sumo stance is a judo stance but more squatted down. I think sumo stance is best of both worlds, because in sumo they have something that is like strike, at least the most amount of strike that I have seen in any grappling fight, and they can't touch the ground. For self defense, I think is the best answer. Becauss if you can finish any fight without falling while throwing. You have time to engage with maybe another person or flee. If you fall together, there may be another person or you won't have time to disentangle and flee. Also, talking about leg grab defense. A couple of years ago I was in a BJJ class as a judo black belt and the teacher wanted be to help a student on takedowns because he was practicing for competition. I was years without any leg grab training but knew that BJJ prefer to use leg grab to take it down. He tried twice to leg grab me and in reflex, both times I used tawara gaeshi as a defense, throwing him behind me and rolling. Ending up on top. I know. I am the weird sumo guy.

While Judo excels in newaza, I'd say wrestling develops self-defense ability faster because it teaches you how to take people down, stat on top, and avoid being taken down. And unlike Judo, it doesn't rely on gi-grabbing to set up throws, which is more realistic for the street.

It's the exact opposite

Absolutely not. Judo is trying to do more complex moves which is for maximum effect with minimal effort. Whereas in wrestling you just want a takedown even if it’s not the best or efficient but you’ll drive for it. I use both a lot in bjj but judo is really fun and watch in comparison in my opinion. Maybe I’m wrong but hey we all got an opinion but it’s a matter of philosophy of what is useful.

I going chime into this is it a technique in spirt of judo or strength based

the biggest problem with wrestling is turning 18 and not being allowed to wrestle anywhere anymore

Judo is still a very dangerous art don't let the news rules change fool you . The only time I miss leg grabs it is not even for throws like more gari, te guruma or kata guruma. I miss them for my combos .

Yeah even as a former high school wrestler myself, I used to be frustrated at the lack of leg grabs in judo when I first started but over time I’ve started to become more comfortable with seoi nage and ashi waza and nowadays I find that wrestling helps more with newaza than standup. I find that the gi just opens up a whole new subset of attacks while simultaneously restricting a subset of attacks as well. For me the gi opened seoi nage and tomoe nage but pretty much killed ura nage and I also find it extremely difficult to shoot for a single leg or double leg whenever me and the guys would screw around after practice to try to take shots on each other.

They should have classic and new style judo like freestyle vs Greco

Judo vs wrestling try MMA fights: Sanchez vs Parisyan and Shields vs Akiyama.

There are also vids on YT of judokas in wrestling competitions. Lots of judo throws in there.

It's all Ying and Yang. (I'm not a martial artist of any kind, but I do play ping-pong and tennis). High stance is good for mobility, low stance is good for stability. Good for one thing is bad for the other thing. That is the nature of fighting. It's all a rock-paper-scissors game. Ronda's judo beat Misha Tate's wrestling (who beats Sara McMann), Holly Holm's kickboxing and judo defense beats Ronda, Misha Tate's wrestling beats Holly Holm. The poker song is a good lesson for all things. "You've got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, and know when to run . . . "

Pray for me yall, I have no judo or wrestling training and I'm about go to an open judo mat night(?) I'm just watching every video I possibly can to see some techniques

Yesss!

I think you're quite right. This might seem obvious, but I really don't think its so easy to see because usually when we compete we have these restrictive rule sets that end up "protecting" us from certain kinds of scenarios. This has the effect of us coming up with very good general principles that don't necessarily translate once we remove some of those restrictions. Its one of those things that sound obvious when it is said, but isn't so easy to see when we're looking at the myriad of details that exist in different grappling disciplines.

@@AzureWiler That's true, but there are still rules in both self defense and MMA. Too often (just in my opinion) we think of self defense as a "no rules" fight, but unless you're living on a desert island absent any government what you do in defense is always going to be judged post hoc at the very least. But even if you're not considering the laws governing self defense, there are many self defense situations where you might not want to kill or maim your aggressor. Imagine that you're being attacked by your uncle that just had too much to drink on Christmas, you might not want to heel hook the guy and bust up his knee. You still want to keep him from hurting anyone, but you probably still care for the guy. In MMA, there are obvious rules as well, admittedly less rules, but there are still rules, and I think its important to keep that in mind at all times.

Judo is the way.... will can hang or defeat any grapaling style say all u want but it will and it does

Judo and Wrestling compliment each other. But......wrestlers always get choked and arm barred. Wrestlers pinning concerns a flat press (touch fall) whereas in Judo it's just a timed control (osaekomi). In my experience, Wrestlers were always better conditioned. Then they go up against a boxer or kickboxer. Boxers are best conditioned and they punch you in the nose.

I feel like this is an extreme overstatement. Sprawling is really the last line of defense, and honestly many times I don't really even need to take a full penetration shot in the gi, because I can just lower my level and grab some fabric on the pants and step into a single leg. I really feel like one of the big differences between wrestling and judo/bjj is that there's a lot more shitty wrestling out there than shitty judo/bjj. You might find the following shocking, but when I was wrestling in high school there were some very small schools in the area that had wrestling coaches that had 0 wrestling experience. Try getting an IJF or IBJJF certified with zero experience, it just doesn't happen like it does in wrestling.
