Shintaro Bjj Journey: The Shintaro Higashi Show

Shintaro Bjj Journey: The Shintaro Higashi Show
As a true martial artist, Shintaro has never shied away from other martial arts, especially Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He's been at the center of the New York BJJ scene, training with the likes of the Gracies, John Danaher, Bernardo Faria, Brian Glick and many others. In this episode, Shintaro talks about how he started BJJ as a Judoka, and the impact his BJJ journey had on his life.

    Osu. Some people learn through Judo, Karate, BJJ.. hell, some learn through Golf. The style of martial art is not strictly important because a HUGE percentage of us will not compete at the olympics/ a world championship let alone win won. The best result in ALL cases is a person learns something that they enjoy, helps them develop as a person and they don't get hurt. Osu, from a Shinkyokushin Kai.

    I had the reverse of this in Judo. Went in and got paired with a brown belt to do newaza. He kept saying "don't worry, you'll get the hang of it after a while." Then we went on to spar and after catching him in a triangle for the third time in a row inside of 2 minutes he asked what was going on. 🤪🤪🤪

    The learning curve for judo is huge in comparison to BJJ. From 0, how many hours before someone can use a throw live?

    This is so nice to hear. I am older and have been doing bjj for about 5 years. It is nice to see judo experts speak respectfully about bjj. It is also nice to hear people who actually know about bjj and have engaged with bjj in a respectful way, who are not totally ignorant about the personalities in bjj or about how it works. I tried to do judo and I attended a local class for a month or two but I got so fed up with the lies and ignorance people would say about bjj so I quit--and that was bad for the judo school because I would have been a dedicated student, ready and willing to pay. It's also bad for me because I lost out on doing judo, at least at that club. There is a lot of envy directed at bjj from judo guys, and just stupid dismissive hate, and it's not by accident that I came across people with that point of view it's really pervasive and you can see it in individuals you meet and also in the online comments from judokas about bjj.

    You referenced DAMAC? As in the judo school in dayton ohio? I train there and was super surprised to hear it mentioned if that's what you were referring to.

    90% of fights end up on the ground, but 100% start standing up. God I hope Judo never ends up like bjj. It's just become a business. I can't tell you how many bjj people I trained with, that couldn't take a fall. It's fall to the ground that usually ends the fight by way of broken arm, concussion, or just getting the air knocked out of them.

    Thanks for sharing! Good ideas. Good comparisons between Judo vs BJJ (both ways).

    Thanks for the Show. Great perspectives. Judo Sensei here. We don't even teach Osoto-gari as a first throw any more. The consequences of the throw are so dangerous and painful for beginners. I have learned also teaching the proper throw to the body type is always best. The beginning steps are basically the same for many forward throws. Tall heavy students Harai, Ogoshi all day, Seo. is tough for taller bigger students. save that one for my shorter stalky students. Curios to hear your thoughts about speed of bjj vs judo. I have worked out with bjj clubs and they always tell me to calm down. Personally I think its kind of a control thing for them to control white belts who freak out which I understand. but at the top level of bjj they move fast in tournaments. I dont understand practicing at a slow speed? Allowing someone to wrap his gi around your leg or giving him enough time to even get grips?. Before I roll with bjj people I have to apologize because in Judo randori we move at the speed of the fight. If i choose to sit down and move slow its like allowing a python to strangle you. Any ways its always good to hear good Judokas bringing Judo knowledge to the bjj crowd. Thanks again.
