We just started doing this at judo practice. Most of us are middle aged dads. So it makes sense to work grips, off balance and the timing of our entries. Thank you

I love this. The best schools of ANY SKILL or ART use progressive levels of cooperation/noncompliance. The old method of “drill then fight, you’ll figure it out” is good for figuring out which students have native skills or intuition. That 20% become the star students. Nothing wrong with that… …except that you filter out like 80% of your student population. Those non-star students either quit or stick around but don’t progress as well as they could. By adding multiple levels of non-compliance into the training, you help the 80% grow their skills efficiently and can also grow your 20%’s fighting and coaching skills. Adding levels of noncompliance is both great for the students and for the dojo’s bottom line, since student retention = $$$. Great vid!

Love this comment! I agree. Most folks peak as they don't get the necessary drills and instruction which shows the small little details which elevate the technical skills of the judoka

I wouldn't oppose yakusoku geiko with uchi komi. uchi komi is still useful because you can use it 1) to perfect your technique, 2) to automate your movement, 3) to improve your speed or fitness. my advice to good uchi komi: create a slight action in opposite direction of your technique and you will get the small reaction with uke only standing still: someone else won't notice the reaction but you will. you can easily press down a bit just before your tai sabaki or slightly turn right just your hip you should feel small resistance which will help you starting your right movement,... you can also do each uchi komi after you break the grip each time. the good thing with uchi komi is that you can do 1 movement per 1 or 2 seconds so you practice a lot for the same amount of time compare to yakusoku

I’ve incorporated this in to every Jiu Jitsu class warm up and it has made a world of difference on how comfortable the guys are on their feet now. As a whole we are all white or yellow belt level in judo but this has been a great addition. And for all the old guys like me, it saves your body from all the impacts from a more competitive Randori

This video popped up at just the right time. I practice my throws (shadow grappling) every day and then try to use them in class. However, I'm not getting the progress I am looking for. I usually win the takedown battles in my BJJ classes due to my Judo background, yet I'm not seeing the rapid growth I've been seeking. I am going to implement this, starting today. Thanks!

I've never liked doing static Uchikomi. I always move. It just feels better to me. I also like to do a type of randori where we grip fight a lot but then trade throws where no one is defending the take down.

Nice video sensei Shintaro. Thank you!

This was pne of your best videos. Many of us need more practical randori advice and pointers. Nice tips. Thank you!

I love this content! Seeing different information of the variation of practice is fulfilling to a new practitioner. Enjoying the art of judo.

Love it!

Awesome tips guys. We mostly do either classic uchikomis or ground or stand up randori at my club. Sometimes we do kumikata fight to practice setting up grips but I love how you introduce all the concepts together. Good job!

So, if I understood well, uke has to oppose some resistance?

I like this a lot! Seems like static uchi-komi is meant to polish the form, but moving around with a partner that gives you realistic reactions to work with bridges the gap well. Do you have any opinion on slow training? I took a course from Target Focus Training and their methods were using realistic situations with partners who were trained to react realistically when you practice your attacks on them. However, you do it super slow. Almost too slow. I'm sure they eventually do it at a faster pace, but the reasoning behind it is the brain doesn't know the difference between fast and slow, so by doing things slowly, you are training more accurately. Some of this stuff comes from The Talent Code. Anyway, would be great to know what you think given your experience. Peace!

Great stuff, could you go over Mica Galvão’s sasae. He’s hit it multiple times in his recent matches, I believe he learned it from Roberto Abreu.

Basic drills will never become out dated. Theyl always keep your favorate throws sharp. I have a question for you Shintaro. If anyone that's a part of this community would like to answer it, I'm fine with that aswell. So in our sambo group, we've come across a unique throw that a bit risky, but does have a good outcome. We've combed through books and media to try see if it has a name or has been done before. I'm certain we are all judo and ma nerds on here, so we know that many judo throws at one time did involve grabbing at the legs, like the original kata garuma. So. This throw, if anyone knows its original name, it's be great. Unless we just made a bit of a Frankenstein. It's risky because it does expose your back if not done right, but super fun to try out, and when done correctly leaves you in a great position for leg locks in sambo, mma, bjj. So, I'll try describe it to my best ability. Right now we actually just call it thr puffer fish throw because it's fancy, it's delicious, but for some, it's just not worth the risk. So here it is. The puffer fish: You first want to make sure that your foot position is opposite to their footing, you than step into to change it, the reason being so that you can grab their closest wrist, or sleeve with your now farthest hand, because while your stepping in, your also lowering your towards their inside, while also protecting yourself, by raising that close hand, now once your shoulder is parallel to their hip, and you grab onto their lower pant leg, or grapevine behind their knee with your now forward hand, it puts you in a position where they can't attack you with their close arm, and can really only try grab onto you with their far, which won't do much. So it's easy to see while as this position is in motion, and you push off in almost any direction you can woth your legs, they are going down %100, unless something isn't done right. Now, it seems like a ridiculous throw, and the bjj guys are probably wondering why would you ever do this! Knowing that it can leave you very susceptible to a rnc. Well. Because if done right, that free base leg of their, should wind up, directly inbetween yours. Their obviously some things youl want to make sure you do for both defensive, and offensive reasons once landing, but I shouldn't have to explain what can come next with that convenient position. It's a long story as to how it was made, and where we first seen something like it, that focused more on raw power, but I actually figured I'd modify it a bit ot have more control, and it also led to a great landing position. I might have to make a video to detail it. Iv tried explaing it before and people aren't really sure what I mean. If anyone does understand it though, and knows if it was originally from old judo, or older jiu jitsu, please let me know. Or maybe from a folk style of grappling. Maybe it just looked to crazy back than, amd no one was really unto knee bars at the time, so it just didn't make the books? It is sort of looks like the result of a drunk gata garuma and hane makikomi meeting at a bar, going home together, and than having to make some very serious decisions on life and commitment 9 months later.

Open a gym in Columbus Ohio. Huge MMA community not a single judo gym.

It's a sad reality that Judo is losing market share. A lot of people that might have once done Judo now train BJJ or MMA. Some of those MMA gyms offer Judo classes though right ? Like the Ronin training center.

👍 👍 👍

Great concept, but my dojo doesn’t have the room.

there's 8 directions (N, S, E, W, NE, NW, SE, SW), 9 if u count vertical displacement.

Flow drill

yaku soku geiko and kakari geiko?

Looks like randori with kuzushi and tsukuri but no kake. Is that fair to say?

No. Here they are taking turns.

basically, "flow rolling". Except... standing.

Exactly "flow standing".

You've done so much for us jiu-jitsu nerds trying to learn standup over the years. Dude! You know there's this whole "judo sucks" apathy that you talk about? How come like the Mount Rushmore of American Judo can't come together and create their own tournament that is inviting to us other grapplers? For us hobbyists, we like to compete but I don't really care about IBJFF. You think we'd care about what Olympic Judo committee says? If it the promotion has like yours, travis... i dunno pedro... whoever is big and just create American-folk-style Judo tournaments.

Great video, but unfortunately it is a bit useless, too. In judo training I never had the opportunity to practice what I wanted or in a way I wanted. Me and everyone else always have to practice _exactly_ what the sensei says. Even though the approach from the video seems much better than the old-fashioned Uchi-Komi, the latter is recommended (i.e. we are expected to do it). If you want to go “your” way, you break the hierarchy and (at least) cause great offense. The culture of judo is way to hierarchical to tolerate anything than the one-size-fits all approach. Btw. I do love judo, but this culture-thing was exactly the reason why I gave it up (apart from getting old)

I agree but doing it the old way has produced the greatest practioners of all time and kept the history of the martial art intact. Learn the old way first so you understand what can be changed for the better. Why not focus mostly on newaza as you got older (like they do in Japan)? I'm sure it wasn't as good as your tachiwaza.

@@zartic4life I entirely abandoned judo at around the age of 45. Since then I just do bjj. I do miss tachiwaza, and even more I miss my old friends and my great judo- related memories from my younger age. On the other hand I do not miss the rigid culture of judo at all.
