Judo doesn't practice self defense.... and no you don't hit people with planets. You don't practice against punches, you don't practice against people without a gi. Honestly, it's easy to just tackle someone anyways. Yes I have a blackbelt in judo and in jiu-jitsu and several years of wrestling. 99% of judokas would be shell shocked getting punched and would lose 75% of their techniques without a gi.

Wrestling teaches aggression, and ability to ride and stay on top. Judo gives you the reaps and sweeps that are more practical in self defense than risking double legs and hip throws that can give your opponent top position if you fail. Jiujitsu excels in escapes and submissions. Over reliance on guard is a weakness. Guard is a great way to get your head kicked in in a street fight.

Judo is best. BJJ is a wonderful sport, and great tool, but teaches bad self defense habits. Add it to a strong judo foundation later. Wrestling is great, but most of what it has over Judo can be learned by simply sparring with wrestlers as a judoka, as wrestlers are easy to come by. Judo ages with you better as well, youth is very fleeting.

Very good discussion. I started my sons in traditional karate, shito ryu, and judo first. They transitioned over to bjj which had a class on opposite days of our judo.

Being in elementary school at this time of their lives I seen a big difference in my boys confidence and respect for their elders. Thank you and your guest for sharing, Namaste

"The greatest enemy of a good plan, is the dream of a perfect plan" More often than not, taking whatever is available to you within your area is the best place to start. Once you have built basic foundations in the sport centric versions of BJJ, wrestling, or judo, then you can expand upon it by learning the more practical combative (i.e. street/battlefield) aspects. An option to that end that is sometimes overlooked is forming up small practice/training groups with like minded people in your gym/dojo to cover things that aren't being taught and/or to get quality training partners from other gyms/dojos for the purposes of crosstraining. As an example; I'm a big fan of Catch wrestling & old school (pre-ww2) style Judo however there are VERY few places available to train in either "catch" or defense oriented Judo, so I had to think outside the box in order to continue the journey of learning the proper application of those techniques... which lead to setting up mini-training/seminar groups. You can do the same with striking arts as well, like learning how to apply old school techniques of BKB, Jujitsu/Judo Atemi-Waza, and Muay Thai Having your own personal blended style of striking & grappling is more advantageous in my opinion than having a strict ridged adherence to what is taught at the dojo/gym. [ Just my .02 cents ]

Wisely said. In fitness culture, the gym thats nearby is the gym thats best for u, same for the wife thats nearby - u typically dont have one in another city. I think sports w good conditioning are key for starting, and i think judokas and wrestlers tend to have better conditioning, though a lot also depends on your gym and your body type.

I feel judo is an amazing grabbling art to start the mma journey. Judo teaches explosiveness, balance, Momentum, break falling, throws, and ground game. A person with judo knowledge can easily transfer and understand wrestling and bjj . Also, Judo is great for self-defense.

After a good bunch of studying older manuals I came to this conclusion and there are simply minimal adult rec/self defense schools around. Sportification is great for the public eye but bad for efficacy.

I’d say wrestling is the best to start with. It teaches you aggression, to never give up, and teaches you good positioning and control . Not to mention wrestlers are also very fast, athletic, and explosive as well. It’s a great foundation to build your judo / bjj off of . Plus wrestling (at least where I’m from) is a high school and college sport, so it’s free for people to sign up for , rather than having to pay monthly like judo or bjj club.

Awesome video. I'm learning Combat Sambo, Judo, Wrestling and BJJ (with more emphasis on Sambo/Judo and less on BJJ) as an adult (after spending my youth on striking arts), and I'm looking to go back and forth between Wrestling and Judo in the near future. My goal is much more MMA focused, so I'm not worried about slow promotions or sport-specific competitions. I really love grappling now, especially the throwing and clinching game of Sambo/Judo and Wrestling.

Chadi, the reason why fundamentally Judo is better to learn, besides the respect and all that, I mean on pure technical issue on what is hardest to learn and develop. And if you don’t learn it, it so exteremly hard to learn as an adult is hands down the sway, the ability to feel the off balance of the opponent and strike. That ability is just so hard to learn as an adult. Wrestling nor BJJ teaches it because it is hard to teach and very counter intuitive to your body, and takes hours of practice to understand it. And if you don’t learn it, you literally know about only 60% of actual grappling. The rest of it is in the sway, without knowing that sway, your basically handicapping yourself to the philosophy of all grappling for that sway is not only in standup but in the ground game. Standup is way harder to learn it because you have no base.

wrestling after judo though ideally this would involve your high school offering it since many high-level wrestlers started in high school.

My path was a very long journey from Karate, Taekwondo, Krav Maga, BJJ, Wrestling (Greco and Freestyle), MMA, Now for me i can say the basic is wrestling paired with bjj and striking My personal style is Greco Roman Wrestling paired with bjj and a more karate like striking method

I'd say for children go judo/wrestling > BJJ but for adults I'd go BJJ > judo/wrestling. Judo/wrestling teach falling, throwing techniques, pinning techniques and escapes, balance, build fitness/strength and are generally well supported for juniors in schools etc. For adult beginners BJJ is closer to ground and involves less falling so has less injury risk, is less kinetically dynamic for unfit/inexperienced adults, teaches submissions which adults are more mature to understand than children and is generally better supported for adult beginners vs Judo/Wrestling. BJJ is good to build strength and accustom adults to grappling who can then go into standing work. Then as you deline athletically, I'd encourage BJJ/newaza focus as far less damaging on the body of older people.

I live in Brazil, so I'm fortunate in a sense for it's very easy to find s BJJ academy with pretty good instructors and partners, but I ventured in Judo before BJJ and as I remember, at least here, in the every day context, it's very watered down. It gets very competitive if you get into competition levels, but for the regular folk that only wants to train for health and self defense, I think it's not a good choice. Training partners are very sensitive, often times in their teenage years, instructors are very cautious too... I didn't like, it's a combat sport before anything, some level of struggle and difficult is a must! As far as wrestling goes, it's almost inexistent here. If I could, I would have picked wrestling when I was younger, I was always fascinated by it and would love to train/have trained it in my teens years. So, with that said, in my context: as judo is watered down, wrestling inexistent and BJJ easy to find in a very technical and competitive level, the pick is obvious: BJJ. Edit: Brazil still has a long way to go in sub/no-gi. It's still hard to find good and structured classes. If that was available, I would definitely go with Submission/No-Gi BJJ.

Honestly nobody should focus that much on grappling for self defense, you just need 1, and that 1 is Judo, Judo teaches you to throw the earth at your opponent, and it has submissions/ground game on the same level as BJJ, since of course BJJ came from judo, Judo is all you *need* for self defense grappling, going for wrestling or BJJ or heck multiple grappling arts for self defense is a person choice and not a *mandatory* action if you get what I mean

I would say that you should do whatever fits you better, Judo to me feels somewhat impractical with the gi and a lot of the takedowns are very complex and when not executed correctly will put you in a bad position. Bbj is too much ground game for me to feel comfortable saying it’s good for self defense, so I naturally gravitated to wrestling which was more basic and can be simplified to just hugging legs and tackling. It’s also quite effective in street fights especially mat returns which is pretty much all you’ll need to know to feel untouchable in a street fight (however legally could get you in a lot of trouble) it also features inside trips and other judo like moves that would certainly help with transitioning to judo. Additionally it doesn’t use a gi so you can practically use the moves at anytime which was a big plus for me. I have always been told wresting is the strongest base in grappling however I do feel judo is maybe less popular in America which is where I’m from. I will also give credit where it is due to judo which features a submission based ground game that is very similar to bbj with takedowns for a standing game.

@SamPalms6943

Granted though I am mentally more of a wrestler than anything else and enjoy the agressive animalistic style it brings, the takedowns feel powerful and explosive and scrambles are way to fun to pass up. I think judo has very flashy takedowns that will have you spinning in the air and hurt very badly when you land and are very sneaky because of the use of leg entanglements from standing positions. Regardless I have really only seen two people in my life get knocked out by grappling and one was a gut wrenching Mat return from a wrestler (concrete return) and one from a judo guy who used a sanigi (the move where you drag the arm over your shoulder and use your hip to bump them up and toss them) into the pavement. Both absolutely disgusting to see in real life but both effective. As a quick side note judo moves are very fusterating to me because there isn’t a clear level change associated with them and often time are performed in bad positions such as back takes.

Ok judo does offer better ethics n judo is also big here wrestling is just depending on the coach where judo does have a ethic mojo

He mentioned three wrestling styles: freestyle, folkstyle and greco-roman. What about catch wrestling ?

Here is my take. If you are high-school take Wrestling for at least 2 years. If possible take Jujitsu with that too. I've seen Jujitsu and Wrestling work so well. Rarely seen judo Jujitsu work as great in tournaments because a lot don't allow slams. In the cage from locally. I haven't seen a lot of judo aside leg trips when against the cage.

Read recently that there are 36 champions with wrestling background, 27 with BJJ - which if true tells a lot. Judo wasn't mentioned, but even if there are any besides Rhonda (at all) there aren't many.

A self defense situation is much much different than mma, also all elite level wrestlers use judo, so it’s shady to not mention that one, for self defense grappling judo by far beats wrestling, and even for cage fighting judo is better than wrestling, look at judoka’s spar wrestlers and you’ll see what I’m talking about,

@@realtruth1448 Hahah! No, wrestling is superior in every way possible. There is one judo champion in the UFC - woman, in the time that women in MMA was new, so the skill level was really low. It goes the other way around - judokas try to wrestle when exposed to MMA. In self defence the most important thing is the legality of techniques used. Wrestling is way better in that sense too. BJJ too, since locks and chokes makes you the criminal in most cases.

@@realtruth1448 I can actually remember way more (active or otherwise) karate-based fighters than I can of those who based their style around judo. Wrestlers are in their own category all together and only one that comes even close is BJJ. And todays BJJ is more like wrestling than it is judo - thanks to ADCC. I have watched most of the UFC nights in the last 2 to 3 years and I have seen mayby a dozen or so judo throws in there. There are more wrestling takedowns than that in every event.

What about catch wrestling and Japanese saw wrestling

First Freestyle wrestling then Judo then BJJ. Judo is by far the hardest to learn in terms of technique. Hence wrestling should to leant first the takedowns are more practical and more successful from a probability standpoint. Also wrestling will teach you how to protect your legs via sprawling and scrambles and how to control the entire body. Judo will teach you counters and enhance your timing. And BJJ will always be the final building block. Also to note most Greco Roman wrestlers grew up doing freestyle and eventually transition over into Greco. You'll develop Greco Roman techniques at a freestyle wrestling academy.

Look at recent MMA champs. Greco Roman excels because they can do takedowns from a more upright position. Folkstyle wrestlers spend too much time hunched over, and exposing those heads to kicks and knee. Greco Roman transfers to MMA better.

@@Pug351 I was just relaying what the dude being interviewed said. But ya that's definitely true, I think Uncle Chael Sonnen said something similar. Greco also tends to develop very good handfighting. Still, there's something to the point of the man being interviewed about how Folkstyle trains you to get off the ground or hit a reversal, and how to hold someone down, cover, and control after a takedown.

Folks who went from Judo to Wrestling and those who went from Wrestling to Judo, please share your experience and opinions I'm 25 now and want to learn both of these with striking as well I know the importance of learning both judo and wrestling, so I want to know which way to go based on your experience and opinions, Judo first and next wrestling or wrestling first then judo? I'm not considering bjj as I'm more into self defence than sports so I don't consider bjj as effective as the other 2 when it comes to self defence I have no experience in either of these so I'm completely fresh

If you didn't grow up wrestling, I'd say just start with judo

Ground work - takedown - hit - weapons. Ground work because not all kids can understand the concept of takedown. As soon as a kid understand , takedown. Black belt, learn punch & kick etc = hit. Then weapons. note: Takedown takes long time to master. Transition from wrestling to Judo is harder, because the difference in standing. The real question is . . how to make hard bones in arms & legs when the kids is still only training grapling. As training hard body must be done in early age. Teach them how to punch & kick only, without tactical knowledge?

of course, judo... to star and finish. in judo, nor olimpic judo, judo judo, all techniques are allowed.

Of course Chadi would never have a guest on that would answer that question any way other than “Judo” We get it, you’re biased towards Judo, how many times do you need to beat the same horse?

Wrong , to start is Jiu jitsu, to learn as a secondary would be wrestling and Judo. To polish it all and ride into the sunset Jiu jitsu. Don't forget about boxing and kick boxing.

I see many of you dont know nothing of wrestling. Its more than shooting legs for takedown, its throws, tosses, more standup work than you think. And uts more than 3 styles of wrestling, Folk and freestyle are variations of catch wrestling English, Greco-Roman ( self-titled)

for me is judo,wrestling to bjj
