That first throw is dangerous. High risk of opponent landing hard on his head. If landed wrong could break his neck. Or cause serious spine or head injury.
@henrikg1388Күн бұрын
That is an important point in these days of jiu-jitsu/MMA fandom. Depending on what the surface is, a decent throw would be anywhere from directly deadly, a KO or at least a stunning maneuver that will give you time to finish off your opponent. It is on these terms the Ippon rule should be understood.

Given the athleticism and the fact that they are training on Sand which requires much more grit and much more strength, I think the translation to the mat will give them a tremendous advantage in the lifting portions I don't see them getting their penetration step and using the best technique for entering solely because of the sand. The sand is a slower surface so a fast penetration step is not going to work. hence the fact that these guys are standing up yet leaning over to protect their legs. If they simply squat down and keep their torso at a 45° angle, on the sand I think they will be at a disadvantage the rules and the setting in which you are fighting whether it is a ring a cage sand, would, high density mats or softer mats will dictate how you move and which techniques are going to be the most efficient people try to take Senegalese wrestling and then compare it with Olympic Greco-Roman freestyle or judo.p I promise you that under their rules they would crush anyone wrestling under those other rules and vice versa however, given the fact that I don't see a lot of weight classes or any weight classes in this sport it seems to be a big man's wrestling game so I don't know how it will translate over to the lower weight classes it might it just doesn't seem to involve guys who are under $230 lb 62230 fighting guys for 6531 however but you don't see anybody under 225 230.t will not work but I think that they have a better chance of winning wrestling against anyone in the world on the sand and because they're training in the sand I think they have more power through their hips and lower backs and posterior chains overall to lift people much more easily even if they are using a great deal of muscle I think simply getting their hips lower than their opponent will enable them to lift and throw their opponents without having a perfect position where their hips are not only lower butt up against their opponents these guys sometimes are bent over and awkward positions and still execute these amazing throws kind of like Quinton rampage Jackson that are more based on power and athleticism than on techniquebut of course there's a great deal of technique that we don't understand as westerners because we don't train wrestling on the sand. These guys however are athletic brutes and explosiveness. They also have amazing defense when it comes to the surface on which they grapple but they can easily modify their technique if they start working and a wrestling mat or an octagon or ring it's like anything else I think a lot of judoka. who train only in the gi will have to make some serious modifications but when they do they will be badasses as we've seen. It's like playing Jiu-Jitsu in the key gives you incredible technique and razor sharp sense of leverage but you are not moving as fast and relying on as much on athletic attributes. I know a lot of guys who trained for MMA and are good at jiu jitsu I believe are missing a lot of the key elements of jiu jitsu if they didn't train at least 50% of time with the gi when they were learning jiu-jitsu. Opinions vary on this very controversial and I don't think training with the key after a certain point if MMA is your goal is going to help as much but when you are training for the first 5 to 10 yearsp and Jiu-Jitsu only training with the key 75% of the time is going to give you a much better idea of leverage and how to slow down the game and how to rely on pure technique strength becomes far less important as the speed when you are wearing a gi. You can take a NCAA wrestler, with no Jiu-Jitsu experience and put them against a black belt no gi and if he's at least spent a month or two learning Jiu-Jitsu Hill probably be able to defeat many black belts or at least not get submitted without the gi. However a good purple belt will usually submitting fairly easily. Of course I'm not talking about guys like bow nickel who not only was a multiple time national champion who's been wrestling 365 days a year what's the time he was a teenager I know a lot of the best wrestlers did a lot of different sports when they were coming up maybe up to the point where they're 16 but from that point on I think it's important for them to do nothing but wrestling for the whole year and working in both folkstyle freestyle and Greco. Guys like that to learn jiu jitsu over the course of training for 5 days a week a couple hours a day for 2 months are going to be able to avoid getting submitted and also toss guys around who are much higher level than they are. Recipe for nickel against Gordon Ryan and although he lost, because he knew what the rules were at he basically was able to keep it on the feet and wouldn't allow Gordon Ryan to butt scoot into him where he would certainly get smoked if he decided to play his game if he treated the match like he was a Jiu-Jitsu match he would have gotten smoked but he treated just like it was grappling style versus grappling style and beside the stay on his feet the whole time and avoid going to the ground with Gordon which was a good strategy but wasn't really a Jiu-Jitsu match. But how many wrestlers would be able to do that with the best grappler in the world maybe 10 guys on the planet who has been learning Jiu-Jitsu independently for months or longer. You can never tell how good an Olympian in wrestling is going to adapt to MMA because we've seen guys who work right wrestlers who don't turn out to be great MMA fighters and can't really apply the wrestling then we seen guys like George St-Pierre and guys like khabib and Bo nickal who all come from different disciplines but can all make wrestling work effortlessly in MMA also guys like Jon Jones Jon Jones can smoke a lot of guys in anime even in the wrestling department who are better wrestlers on paper such as Dan henderson, even Daniel cormier, can you get guys like Cain Velasquez Brock Lesnar and in the early days of course Mark Kerr and Mark Coleman who were dominating in wrestling, then of course khabib in St Pierre are probably the most successful wrestlers in MMA yet neither of them have the wrestling pedigrees some of the guys that are Olympians like Matt linland, Ben askren, Kevin jackson, Tom Erickson and many guys like that who didn't really go too far with the wrestling MMA flow together like demetrious Johnson for instance

First one is like Sukui-Nage in a sense and in the current IJF Ruleset it is a good counter for Georgian Grip or Obi-tori-gaeshi. Most of the attacks from the Georgian system we see today are also used by Kashiwazaki way before. As for the second one, agree with the Uchimata-sukashi variation. Stepping over (sometimes hooking the leg doing the swing) makes the attacker over-rotate and actually getting flipped over. That technique won me my recent match last October.

if you learn traditional judo. theres a lot of scary moves tbh. even when i was a teenager i use to do wrestling, jujitsu and judo and ill be honest. judo is pretty scary. one throw with good rotation on the guy on concrete.....ive felt it on mats and im just saying. dude wont get back up. and then u start learning pressure points and neck cranks and im just saying....i was 16 and even at that age i understood, this is the type of stuff that you never use. one strong jerk or twist and dude is dead or very serious permanent injury. ill just say, never go for a double leg against a good judo dude

I think the almost throw away comment you made about Sumo is something that is super important for Aikido people to understand. When I practice Aikido against resistance, one of the drills I use is to have Nage stand in one portion of the mat. Often using the lines of the interconnecting mat pieces as a boundary. Then I will have Uke try to move Nage outside the boundary either by pushing or pulling. Uke's job is to move Nage, Nage's job is to stay inside the boundary. That removes the traditional kata training approach of Aikido and also removes the opposing force of sparring. Each partner has a different job, they are not trying to "kick each other's ass" so a clash of power that turns into a strength contest is less likely. Then you just set an arbitrary round time before the pair switch roles, based on the participants level of fitness. Well this is essentially one half of a Sumo match. Sumo is a great vehicle to practice Aikido. Morihei Ueshiba practiced Sumo when he was younger and I am sure that helped him develop Aikido.
