Hi guys. Hope everyone is training hard and remaining injury free.
A judo buddy sent me this location to check out a huge highlight reel of some judokas @ NY.
I thought I’d share it with the cma forum to show the similarities with sanshou (after the clinch).
Best wishes everyone.
(be warned this is a huge file. not for those of slow modems…)
Anyway, i am ****ting my pants. I have been on loads of dates etc, but i am going on a date, and for the first time ever i have butterflies in my tummy, cos i am so into this girl.
I’ve never really been a big fan of Judo, but knowing Carlos Newton has been training Japanese Judo at the Judo HQ in Japan, and seeing him in pride against Pele doing what looked like a perfect Judo throw, i’m impressed, didnt think those throws would work in serious NHB but he sure as hell proved me wrong.
because many of them seem to rely heavily on grabbing the Gi for the takedown, so people use wrestling takedowns more because in them there is no gi to grab.
They work. The difference in the rules, however, creates an environment in wrestling that favors leg attacks. Also, the grip must be adjusted for no gi, and there are SOME Judo throws that are hard to pull off without the gi because they require a VERY big pull that is difficult to get without a handle.
I thought I recognized somebody on vid… so I looked and replayed and pause.
At 0:54 into the video, you see Rhadi Ferguson doing an enormous one handed throw. The black man on the left side of the mat wearing the green and white collared shirt is my BJJ instructor
