I've always found it frustrating that you're penalized for "negative Judo" in tachi-waza but you're rewarded for it in ne-waza.

Fantastic point. Imagine shidos for negative ne waza. It would he amazing!

Fantastic interview Neil... I get this question asked daily when I'm training BJJ or teaching judo... very well articulated!

Legend! great competitor, I found him very levelled and nice attitude, he was an inspiration when growing up, still to this day(46)

What a legend! I still use the same technique Neil Adams taught me for tai otoshi and arm bar.

Remember kids, always start with Judo before BJJ. It's a lot more painful the other way round.

Such a cool dude and a great grappler

finally, Judo royalty Niel Adams welcomes Bjj, Hopefully this trickles down to most judo federations and remove the silly rules that you cant compete on both sports

@@paulfrost8952 Judo athlete as in competes internationally or at the olympics. Reason is the IJF doesn't want their judoka getting injured doing other sports. Also culturally looked down up competing in things like MMA which is why not many judoka compete in MMA. Travis stevens has talked about this a few times, some judo guys still compete in bjj on the low.

Wow! Neil Adams addressing the disparity between tachi-waza and ne-waza. This has always been a conscious effort to maintain the balance. Good on you to invite such a great and respected judoka to invite for an interview. I do think that the ijf needs to allow more time for ne-waza. the rules have really diluted the Japanese Jujitsu where this came from. However, i am realizing that because of all the cross training the arts are moving back to the beginning: Traditional Japanese Jujitsu.

A very enjoyable interview - thanks for uploading.

I practice both and i can't just chose only one, and i feel better and more rounded grappler

just like karate and kung fu, grappling arts all can learn from and mix with each other if a fighter/practitioner is smart

Great convo ! First system I started in the 80's was a Combat Judo school that started in BX NY,Tremont Judo!

Excellent video. The guy explains the art so well and understands the need for cross training.

That fight films judo gi is FIRE! love the gold on white wish they sold it still. Love the red on white one they have too .

Kano himself limited the newaza when the specialists on the ground were dragging people into groundwater “pulling guard”. His reasoning was this “man walks. He does not crawl”

BJJ is not something i like as a judoka , i would like to see for judoka 'kosen judo ' used for ground work in judo , this is more effective for judo . Kuruma beat Gracie with this in there're fight .

In fact BJJ came from newasa Judo. Mitsuyo Maeda, the Count Koma was a Judoka who tested his judo against everybody. But at that times, judo was known as Kano Jiu Jitsu, the Kano System of Jiu Jitsu, or just Jiu Jitsu and as Judo became a sport 70% focused on tachywasa, so the began the difference. The sport's rules. They are two different sports which have the same origin; Judo.

If BJJ increased points for a takedown this would create an interesting development. Maybe also get disqualified if you pull guard from standing.

And what do you mean by BJJ preservation of traditional Jujutsu? You do know "Traditional Japanese Jujutsu" does not have ground fighting right? Look up any traditional jujutsu systems in Japan and I can promise you you wont find ANY ground fighting, ground techniques were invented in the 1890s at Handa dojo by Tanabe Mataemon solely to counter Judo and was then absorbed into it. Class dismissed. Also Fusen ryu is a myth as the systems is still practised in Japan and has no newaza.

i liek that judo doesnt encourage stalling on the ground and i defendly like the trow as a setup for the groundwork

the sport rules have diluted this martial art. judo and bjj are sport versions of jujitsu. its all the same martial art, just different rules for sport.

I don’t understand why they don’t change the BJJ rules to penalise pulling guard or give 4 points for an ippon style throw to correct this imbalance.

Excellent.

thank you "we need to work together."

check out old judo footage, pre Olympics. looks just like Gracie bjj. or look up kosen judo, where the newaza rules allow for extend ground work.

Great points about the imbalances of both judo and BJJ. It would be great to see a new hybrid paying equal attention to tachiwaza and newaza. Matches with throws ending with newaza and submissions. I know I just described mma, but preferably where I don't have to worry about eating punches and kicks!

he couldn't have articulated this any better

i like that with judo you ether submit someone or move on bjj is all about waiting for someone to get tired or making a mistake (even with out a lot of controle they need ot go to wrestling to lean controle)

Both arts needs to stop with the sport aspect, or at least have more self defense moves. Stop worrying about points and rules!

So called “brazilian jiu jitsu” is nothing else but dis-gracies marketed Judo ne-waza.

the judo governing body is so stupid about mma. Judo/bjj were doing what mma is doing now when they first started; evolving other styles and finding out what from a variety of styles. MMA is the judo spirit.

Unfortuantely, since the japanese changed the rules, to replace them with ton of restrictions, judo is now more like ballet dancing. We do not have much to teach to BJJ anymore. We have to learn from them. Japanese could not have done better to kill their sport

cross training is a term thrown around a bit loosely. in this instance i believe its not cross training, more like being better rehearsed, or increased knowledge of your marital art. you at times need to practice as if there is no ref, no rules etc for it to be more realistic. cross training would be more appropriate if it was a grappling based art and a striking based art practice together.

Neil is a solid guy. He's a ninja when it comes to arm locks on the mats. The gracies went to train under him before they hit it big time.

Its kind of the way it is..........judo has ne waza but concentrates on throws. BJJ is very poor in stand up as it excells in ne waza. I trained in both too and loved both styles dearly. I dont train anymore sadly and its unlikely to change. I was lucky to train with him a few times a hes a strong fella. He and Brian Jacks came to my home town when i was a little kid and i was blown away. I got some grades under the gracies too and travelled all over to see em. Both neil and the gracies have nothing but my respect and admiration. Good folks.

Interesting. Backninnthe 90s we did this . We had strategies for winning Judo comps using fast standing to ground submissions and in the early BJJ matchesxwe wouldctry to take opponents down. But then came jump guard play and butt scoot for BJJ and judo implemebted that stupid 20 second rule so this is a good idea .bravo guys.

We have several guys in our judo club who cross train in BJJ. It really ups their ne waza game. Conversely we have BJJ guys come in to up their tachi waza (they are all really good at ne waza). All these guys are better off for it.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu - Basically Just Judo Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu looks just like Judo, because it is Basically Just Judo. When Mitsuyo Maeda, a.k.a. "Conde Koma", began teaching Carlos Gracie in Belem do Para, Brazil in 1917, he was teaching Jigoro Kano's Jiu-Jitsu direct from the Kodokan in Japan. The name "Judo" was not popularized until 1925. Mitsuyo Maeda was a Kodokan Judo instructor whose specialty was ground fighting (newaza). This type of ground-only fighting is often referred to as Kosen Judo, or High School Judo, because it was popularized in Japanese High Schools as a form of interscholastic wrestling. Kosen Judo rules allowed direct transition to newaza, enabling scenarios where one less skilled competitor could drag the other down to the ground (a tactic now known as "pulling-guard" in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu). There is absolutely no question that the Gracie family demonstrated great skill and marketing acumen by promoting "Gracie Jiu-Jitsu" or Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to the masses. Helio Gracie's loss to Kodokan Judoka Masahiko Kimura was advertised as a "moral victory". More importantly, the Gracies sponsored the original Ultimate Fighting Championships when the world was begging for a professional combat sport with more depth than Boxing and more realism than the WWF. However, there is now a generation of Jiu-Jitsu students who only know half the story. Worse yet, they are often paying enormous prices for the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu name only to learn a subset of Jigoro Kano's original Jiu-Jitsu techniques and teaching methods. The Judo world has not been without fault too. High ranking judoka often looked down on the new popular MMA world due to Judo's Olympic status. As a result, most Judo schools have been over-emphasizing the throwing techniques within Judo due to pressure from the International Olympic Comittee to increase ratings on TV for the brief moments when Olympic Judo would receive air time. Similarly, there is a generation of Jiu-Jitsu students, and now instructors, who incorrectly think Judo is nothing but a standing sport. Fortunately, the phenomenal success of Ronda Rousey, 2008 Olympic Judo Bronze Medalist and UFC / MMA Champion has brought attention back to the accurate history of Judo and its rightful place in the Jiu-Jitsu grappling world.

If judo didn't have only 10-20 seconds on the ground and if they didn't have stupid rules like banning closed guard and leg scissors and not pressuring the neck or leglocks then there wouldn't be BJJ today. That being said BJJ would benefit from judo throws as they've fallen out of favour in BJJ. I chose to do judo instead of BJJ but i'm into MMA unlike most judoka

Judo is an awesome sport, but wrestling is way better for mma.

BJJ has 0 standing part. You can be honest. We won't be mad. BJJ has recently moved closer to leg locks and no-gi submission only. It looks less and less like judo. BJJ can learn so much from judo, but it does not go the other way around. Too many submissions are not effective in judo because of the time constraint. Many BJJ are leaning towards wrestling as a base to improve. It's much more prevalent in the U.S. and accessible at a high level too. I have not really seen any judo schools or any friends who does judo. That may be part of the reason in the U.S. why BJJ doesn't have as much judo cross training. BJJ is like slower paced chess. Judo is explosive on the dot chess.
