Great video, thank you. I've been practicing martial arts since I was a kid. I earned a black belt in karate and a 5th dan in hapkido. I always wanted to learn Judo so at age 53 I signed up for my first Judo class. Oh man I wish I started this sooner. It is so different than anything else I have done and I'm finding it hard to retrain my brain. I'm 58 now (blue belt) and I have learned that Judo is complex, grueling and thoroughly enjoyable. Despite so many clubs only teaching it as a sport (I know that's a huge part of the art especially for children) it has massive self defense application. I think grip fighting and throws from the clinch (basically where Judo lives) along with newaza is the missing link that every martial artist needs.

Having done various martial arts for over 35 years, I've recently come back to Judo (while still doing kickboxing) and think it's actually even better for self-defense than i.e. BJJ (which usually is promoted as "the" self-defense martial art). In a self-defense situation, I don't want to go to the ground (which BJJ prefers) because of the threat of additional opponents who could stomp you while being busy with your first opponent, but if it goes to the ground, a Judoka still can handle most non-BJJ specialists there. As a Judoka, when it goes to the clinch, you have a good chance of ending the fight right there when you throw your opponent and slam him on concrete. So (kick)boxing and Judo are a pretty useful combination if you want to defend yourself.

Hey mate, just starting to get into Judo. Can you tell me the most common techniques I should focus on and I will spend most of my time perfecting them? (The Pareto principle 80/20 rule hopefully loosely applies to judo) Will also buy your judo vids and then go from there. Cheers

Thanks.. must to divide each technic to 4 to 5 parts. Untill understand the principles than do it completely

Love your vids. I’m a novice. Could you do some videos one when we should use one throw over another? Such as why morote seoi nage vs ippon seoi nage, harai goshi vs uchi mata, when should I attempt tai otoshj, etc.. Thanks.

I just have a quick question, a couple people have told me to step my supporting leg in between uke's feet, but others have said to put the supporting foot in front of my opponents left foot.

Is that how judo is normally taught in the USA ? (We just started Judo last year with my youngest son in a combo class for parents and kids) I feel we went to the deep end right away which seems normal around most judo clubs and I’m still, a year later, sometimes wondering what the heck I’m doing! (I got injured so had to stop but my kid is still going) Have you got instructional videos with these fundamental concepts and more structured way of training? Like your approach👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

The first thing is kuzushi? no, the first thing is the set up as a whole, it means deviate the attention of the opponent in order to enter and then do the kusushi...it is something I learned after doing the same mistakes.

I love Judo it is 90% throws and 10% chokes and Joint manipulation well Jiu-Jitsu is 10% throws and 90% joint manipulation the throws are more up my alley plus I want to know how to choke and Joint manipulation so Judo was perfect for me and I've seen many judoka defend their self quite well in a street fight

The good thing about judo is that it's like learning to ride a bike. I've done taekwondo for 19 years. Karate 4-5 years. Judo 1981-87. On those rare occasions when I've had to defend myself judo has been there in the bonemarrow. Without even thinking about any special throws or something like that it just comes naturally if you've learned judo. Tkd doesn't really work if you're not fit and very flexible. Plus it's just stupid to use except for maybe basic kicks to the liver or belly. Judo is great. And fun. You don't really hurt the other. Just a good way of controlling the other

Hahaha the fucking whole floor bounced!

Any tips on balancing your focus between kuzushi, tsukuri, and kake? I find myself focusing so much on my tsukuri that I forget to emphasis the kuzushi. Sometimes I even compensate for a lack of kuzushi with deeper penetration steps like trying to drop past my partner's legs for drop seoi nage.
