Judo is very effective on the street. I've seen it used. And these guys handle bigger opponents with ease. They may not hit, but you can get really damaged by hitting pavement or even just fighting a throw. All these guys that talk shit about Judo and Aikido are idiots. 85% of it is identical to BJJ, which those same shit talkers claim is the end all be all. In fact, Brazilian Jujitsu looks more like Judo than it does traditional Jujitsu.

I've seen 2 seperate incidents where a drunk person has attacked someone who knew Judo. One was 2 against one and was spectacular, with the 2 drunks lying on the floor after brutal throws, and one when a teenager stopped a drunk grown man from randomly attcking people by throwing him beautifully but safely and held him in a wrist lock until the police turned up. Judo works. And for people who say "yeah but what if the person was trained in XYZ?", people who are trained in fighting do not start or go looking for trouble, so a well trained Judoka and a well trained MMA fighter wouldn't ever get in that siuation. Self defence is self defence, looking to kick someones ass is different.

yeah to be honest judo seems almost like ideal for self def because it focuses on very quick takedowns, but not necessarily going to the ground yourself. and the vast majority of people would not have any takedown def against judo and even if perhaps they did would they expect some random person to be a judoka? probably not. like bjj can work in a street fight too of course but so much of bjj is based on being on your back on the ground, and prolonged fighting. both of which you want to avoid in a street fight. that being said ofc things can end up gnarly and you end up yourself at the bottom and then you need to know how to get out or submit the enemy from that position also.

I recently came across the book "Verbal Judo" by George J. Thompson PhD, he was an English Professor turned police officer who also had Black Belts in Judo and Taekwondo. His book is about de-escalating conflict situations verbally so you don't have to fight. As Sun Tzu said in "The Art of War" - "Better than a hundred victories in battle is to subdue the enemy without fighting."

Just don't drop your guard while shooting in. You can shoot in and keep your hands in a solid triangular frame in front of you to protect your head. Modern Judokas and wrestlers just don't guard their head, because they're not used to getting kneed when shooting in. And those bad habbits are hard to unlearn as you can see even with high profile fighters like Sonnen or Askren. That is, because mostly they succeed anyways without getting kneed. It's hard to time the knee, but it's still a risk that you can minimize by guarding your head better.

"Hence to fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting." - Sun Tzu, The Art of War

Great video and excellent advice. In deed using Judo (or most type of wrestling) on the street is simple if you’re good at your sport : 1. Don’t get into a street fight. 2. If you do, close the distance immediately. Once you’re in the clinch/wrestling range, most people have no idea what to do and you basically won. 3. Throw him. But I think it should be added that you shouldn’t follow the guy you throw on the ground (although it is what most people do in Judo competition), and for two reasons. By staying standing, you keep your mobility, which means you’re ready to run away as soon you’ve thrown the guy or to turn around and face another opponent. Secondly, you simply don’t need to. Most judo throws are so violent that it will largely suffice to KO or at least stop the guy from fighting/wanting to fight for a moment. Imagine getting throwed by Seoi Nage or Osoto gari on the pavement. That hurts, and you don’t need to choke the guy out to finish him.

It has to be a death/life situation by the way, you could kill a guy by throwing him against the pavement, as Julien mentions in point 2 ("Once you’re in the clinch/wrestling range, most people have no idea what to do") the same applies for knowing how to fall, it's not like people who have been training wrestling/judo/bjj for years and instintively prepares to absorb the impact if they get thrown.

I'm new to Judo but during my research I've seen plenty of indications that it'd translate well to self defense and this is yet another great example. Loving this, man, thanks!

This is very effective and he also tells how to anticipate attacks and how to execute well.

I think sometimes we forget that most street fights happen on , guess what, the street. Or the sidewalk or some other hard surface. And the vast majority of people have no idea how to handle falls and takedowns on a mat, let alone concrete. Fundamentals like this will serve anybody very well. But the flip side(no pun intended) is you can't expect them to go with the throw. Untrained people are super stiff and spazzy and tend to get out of things in the strangest ways that trained people don't often train for. We tend to train with our peers .

Kano Jigoro the founder stated Judo is an art for self defense. He said it's an art with which one can pin, submit, or even kill if one needs. He later made it an Olympic sport but originally Judo was and is an art of self defense.

New sub. Our dojo actually trains Kajukenbo, which...as you may know, contains Judo as part of the curriculum, and is ALL about self defense. So this is very interesting to see, as Judo can, in some cases, be an instant fight stopper. Though, woe to the attacker on the ground with a shattered rib cage. So with that - a side note: I personally encourage everyone to save the "higher momentum" throws/takedowns(like Uchi Mata, Seoi Nagi, etc.) for those you are sure have an obvious intent to do great harm to you or a loved one. A wee punk just running his mouth with baby shoves or punches can get a simple "supported" hip throw as a warning. You can always then tell them you have more up your sleeve if needed😉 I would rather give 3 free punches to my face then be propelled over someone's shoulder to the concrete. Ouch!😬
