I think you're right. I also think it can give BJJ players a false sense of security. This is why crosstraining in Judo/Wrestling with takedowns is imperative. In a street altercation, if you're going up someone very strong....like some stocky bull type of guy that lifts weights, you better be...

Pretty scary to watch. On pavement these guys would be dead.

I think I've posted this before but does taking down someone have to be so complicated? Judo is a beautiful art, but if one got reasonably good a just a handful of takedowns, I think that is sufficient to get 90% of people on the ground. Even a football tackle would work lol.

After 2 years of searching I finally found a school that teaches Judo & BJJ (Osagame in Philly). It's rare you see that.

That was nice.

Classes — OSAGAME "n our Free-Style Judo class, students will learn techniques that may no longer be legal in a modern, standard IJF Judo competition. Freestyle Judo is more similar to older versions of Judo than modern IJF rules. The main differences are that leg grabs are allowed, and...

I think the traits it builds up are important. It toughens you up, gets you in shape, improves your balance, and makes you hard to take down, act under pressure, etc. All good things to have.

I will try and find that reddit quote. I saw this today and thought it was a good list of points. Top Ten Reasons Why Sport Judo is Effective – Judo Info 4) Uchikomi and Muscle Memory The stress of a physical confrontation does not allow one to think about self-defense techniques; one must...

I really enjoy Judo for those reasons. It's a great workout . BJJ would be second, but it's slower paced and very technical to me. As you mentioned, with striking you're never going 100% and even at 50%, that's too much. I've got hit the head a few times. It's not good for the brain. The...

Great points. He wasn’t anybody of significance. Some random comment on Reddit.

I normally don't like posting these types of things, but sometimes it's fun LOL. I thought this guy made a good case for Judo over BJJ. Both are great and both emphasize different things. "As far as BJJ vs. Judo i'll have to side with judo from my experiences, but i am not saying bjj is...

JR do you mean for Judo or against a wrestler?

I often wonder if just knowing a single/double leg TD is all you really need for a self defense standpoint. From there you need the ground game.

My BJJ instructor asked me before I started doing privates whether I wanted to do gi or no gi and I chose no gi. My thinking was it's just more realistic to learn without a gi rather than rely on the gi for certain things.

Good information, thanks. I've been taking private BJJ lessons due to time constraints. $100 an hour isn't cheap but I've been getting a lot of out of it. I talked to the Judo instructor I took lessons from a few months ago and he does privates for $40 and No-gi. I'm going to give that a...

Has anyone tried no-gi Judo? Seems like a good idea.

I was disappointed in the video too. Breaking structure I assume is done in many arts.

Off balancing and breaking structure.

"Approaching a use of force encounter as a LEO using competition BJJ or Judo tactics would obviously be a bad idea. The trick is to realize that the physical skills of being able to control someone without being controlled are still very useful. You just have to adapt those skills to a different...

I think BJJ popularity is at an all-time, due to the Gracies, UFC and the effectiveness of the art. I feel tradtional arts are fading, and MMA is replacing them. If you're in it for self defense or want to learn how to fight, you need to know how to strike, and how to grapple. It's as...

I got kneed in the mouth the other night but it's because I wasn't holding the pads correctly. Fat lip.

That's interesting I would not have thought that. But then again, we don't go hard when training MT so that's probably why. In BJJ you can go 100%.

*correction, I meant pushes BJJ on people.

I started in Wing Chun in a TWC school, then moved to a Moy Yat school then took private lessions completing the 2nd form. I then wen to BJJ, Judo and took a private wrestling class. I loved Judo, but locatioin was a problem for me so now I'm back at a MMA school that does BJJ and Muay Thai...

Obviously anytime you're moving your body, whether it's walking or doing a martial art, you run the risk of injury. My BJJ instructor who also teaches real Muay Thai at his school sort of pushes Muay Thai on everyone. Not in a bad way, but I get the feeling he thinks it's a better overall art...

Once on the force, it's easy to fall out of shape. Sitting in a car all day, lack of motivation etc. It can happen to all of us. That's a good point. Maybe a possible solution to some of the deficiencies in DT would be to create a condensed DT system based on MMA. A good 6 month dose of...

Ah ok. I didin't know that. I wasn't too familiar with him.
