Hit Him With The Planet | Judo for Self Defense

- Judo is probably the most overlooked martial art for self defense. Despite being a popular sport worldwide, and the origins of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Judo seems to be one of the least popular martial arts these days. Which is a damn shame, because Judo's emphasis on putting an opponent on the ground without striking him ensures that we remain the defender and not the aggressor.
Moreover, Judo's balance control (kuzushi), footwork, and overall aggressive philosophy (watch a Judo match. Despite being called "the gentle way," Judokas are some of the most hardcore competitors on the planet) creates a foundation that is transferable not only for self defense, but also for the Muay Thai clinch, for wrestling, for MMA, and any other combat scenario that involves grabbing on to another human being.
In this video, I am joined by Brad Tidwell - a Judo black belt with over 20 years of experience - and we adapt 3 classic Judo throws for no-gi, real life scenarios. Take a look, incorporate them into your practice, and share with your friends!

I wouldn't normally respond to videos like this but I worry there are a lot of people who might take this video seriously and in my opinion following this advice can make a bad situation worse.
I understand the need to modify traditional Judo for a self defence context but from my perspective there are a number of issues with what's presented here. For the first technique (Yoko Otoshi) this is high risk since this is a sacrifice throw and if it doesn't work you're now on the ground and they are above you. This is even a bigger problem since the premise was with someone who is bigger. My recommendation here would be a simple Deashi Barai/Kouchi Gari.
For the second throw (Harai Goshi), first off there has to be a strong reap of the right leg. The demonstration here doesn't even get his foot off the ground. The other issue is that this is typically a terrible technique for a shorter person to do on a taller one (made even worse by not reaping the leg) because of basic geometry. What I really think you're trying to demostrate and probably what you could more likely use for self-defence is Koshi Guruma.
The last throw (O Soto Gari), if someone is coming towards you with strikes is probably the worst way to execute an O Soto Gari as you would need to not to fully change the direction of the attacker. If someone is attacking forward, your best bet is to throw them forward. O Soto throws them backwards. Also, there needs to be a reaping action on the leg for a proper throw. Instead of O Soto Gari, for someone who is advancing onto you a Kouchi/Ouchi is your better bet.
100% agreed
the 2nd throw seems like a poorly executed Harai Goshi or Tai Otoshi. I have my doubts about how legit his black belt is.
You're totally correct in your analysis.
@@sorin1977 thanks. If you're interested, I posted my own thoughts about self-defense on my channel yesterday!
I do agree sacrifice throws are not the best in self defense situations since you also end up injurying yourself too
"for someone who is advancing onto you a Kouchi/Ouchi is your better bet"... Ouchi?!
Very good. Also note that Brad was being very nice and only throwing with 1/4 to 1/2 force. As a trained judoka, I'd also use ippon-seoi-nage/one arm shoulder throw.
I really appreciated having at least one technique focused on not hurting anybody. I had a drunk friend at uni who was in a drunk rage and smashing up his room, he broke his monitor and was gonna smash his xbox and stuff like that. I gently single legged him, rolled him onto his stomach and choked him out. He woke up much calmer like 5 seconds later 😅
I like BJJ's way of mercy: pull guard, sweep, pass guard, take a heavy scarf hold.
That's always been my favorite motto of judo for selfdefense. We don't just hit you with our fists, we hit you with the whole planet.
This is awesome, you guys are really good at putting moves into real world scenarios
There are precious little judo self defense videos around and I have never seen anyone bring a backpack into play, that was really impressive
Judo is one of my favorite martial arts and I love to showcase it when I can. I wish I could say the backpack was my idea, but it was all Brad. Damn if it wasn’t cool though.
@@CombatSelfDefense Haha it sure was! The whole video was really good
@@driver3899 thank you so much
That's because the internet has been flooded with Brazilian jiu-jitsu
13:10 love the wing chun + judo combo right there. That's exactly why I'm training both these arts simultaniously.
Hit him with the planet! Love it!👍
12:50 Wing Chun + Judo = untouchable
Excellent video! Clear and straight to the points. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed!
Thank you 🙏 I love Judo 🇯🇵
Thank you so much for this. When that guy said it doesn't have to be fast he'll always have a place in my heart with that technique. There's no telling what's in the environment pretty much where the trouble starts but I'm pretty sure it's not on a gym floor with pads. You might get lucky and throw them on something hurtful. The other thing I keep in mind with these throws is if I'm throwing an opponent I like I'm just playing once I get him off balance I'm kind of setting him on the ground easy to the ground. If someone is seriously trying to hurt me and I get a judo throw on him when he comes over my hip for instance turn on the torque snap that throw accelerate that guy as you rotate him as much as you can so he really hits the ground hard. The best thing about judo self-defense instead of striking self-defense is when you get to court. Say you eat a shot to the face and you got a bloody nose in the picture and a black eye the other guy doesn't have a mark on him really. The story is always the same he jumped on me your honor and he fell off and hurt himself.
Excellent video. Thanks.
Thank you so much
I'd like to see more about 'forbidden' throws and techniques.
I enjoyed this whole thing but had to laugh and clap at "water bending" hahah gj guys thank you
Glad you liked it! Thank you
Thank you for this, really cool. I just started recently (again) Shodokan Aikido, and apparently there's some Judo self-defense incorporated into it, which I truly appreciate for the realism it brings. Since I'm not really interested in the sport aspect of it, I view it as more of a spiritual practice, along with hopefully realistic self-defense.
Spirituality won't help you when someone wants to beat you up.
If you don't train competitively, you'll never know what it's like to spar with someone who is genuinely trying to beat you.
Traditional martial artists love to rag on sports but fail to realise that competition is the best crucible of skills and ability and for further refining and preparing a person for actual combat.
Good work👍👊👊
Brad techniques black belt judo throw
The osoto gari in a street fight scenario needs to have the person guiding the assailants head with the palm of their hand towards the the back and to the side of the leg that is being reaped to be at best efficiency. Making someone land on their head could not only end the fight but end them as well in one motion.
On second note the yoko otoshi wasn't a yoko otoshi it was a osoto otoshi that turn into makikomi (fall with the assailant) a yoko otoshi is a side valley drop need to completely commit for a yoko otoshi.
The harai goshi is nice but its not an easy move to pull off properly it really needs practice furthermore having the fully planted to the floor is no longer a harai goshi but instead a tai otoshi wish is also nice but not a harai a needs to have the leg being reaped from the side.
I personally wouldn't try it in self defense.. a harai goshi can lead too a ura nage very quickly
A suplex
And on pavement? No thanks
I think the key with harai goshi is the speed and power you put into it. And I do it with wrist control on the same side as the leg I’m sweeping.
I can pretty much throw harai exactly like a strike. Step in and I’m essentially throwing a reverse round kick. I use a scissor motion of pulling my upper body down to project kicking out the leg.
What pure grappler guys could benefit from understanding is all of your sweeps are kicks if you do them with speed+power. There’s no fouls so who cares?
Take one of my favorite throws: sasae tsurikomi ashi. You can do it like a sweep or you can step and throw a low kick to their ankle as you pull them over. Makes a lot more sense when someone’s charging into you. Duck with the low kick mechanic and chop the leg while kinda pushing/guiding them over. It might not be pretty and you might not end up with perfect ground control but chances are you can:
-take the back
-take advantage of them stumbling out of control including running away if that’s your best option
This is why I believe Judo+Muay Thai is king of unarmed combat. The toughness and striking from Muay Thai with the AWARENESS of clinch striking mixed with the balance and control of Judo.
And let’s be real BJJ is great, very effective but tends to lose a lot when striking on the ground gets involved. Plus it requires you to go to the ground to work.
Also wrestling, although being a strong contender, doesn’t really have the mindset of taking someone down WHILE you yourself stay standing. It’s always we both go to the ground. And you just flat out don’t want to be there unless you need to control someone without hurting them in a “friendly” fight.
@@g8trg8tr30 interesting. I've notice sambo guys do more of that kicking motion and power you speak of in their sweeps and reaps than judokas.
I like this guy!
Great 👍
Nice technique and realistic approach to its use in Self Defense.
Why thank you.
Good techniques and good technician.
I know that the dojo is where technique is perfected and in the world (whether competition or the street) techniques blur and blend. Hari is a favorite of mine. What makes a Hari the throw that it is involves "sweeping" the leg during the throw. To be one of those Asses who has to throw in their irrelevant 2 cents I would like to add that often during the video demonstration the throw was looking a little more like Taiotoshi at times. Does it matter? No, but Taiotoshi would have been a good throw to include here since it does blend/blur well with the Hari when conditions aren't dojo perfect just to give broader perspective.
Excellent video.
Epic
I really liked the Osoto Gari vs choke
I'm just hear to say: I
This is exactly how me and my bros used to play as kids. Try to block the 1-2 with a wax on/off and chi sao, then grab on to the shoulders and go for a judo throw. If you go down with the guy, try to put his arm in a weird position, to get a submission.
Great Judo 👏👌👍
I can guarantee you from personal experience a couple hundred times in Los Angeles that bad guys don't like being grabbed or hugging which tells me that they have no training in Judo whatsoever. Which gives me the edge.
Maybe if they were hugged more they wouldn't have turned out to be criminals
The second throw isnt called Tai otoshi?
I wouldn't recommand a sacrifice throw, untill you're 100% capabale of doing... and they are hella deadly like tomoe nage or Sumi Geishi
If you're 5'5, your primary martial art should be grappling.
I am a subbie
Hold up what martial art do you mainly do?
That depends on what you mean by mainly do. I teach Kajukenbo, having spent about 10 years in the style, but I also practice Muay Thai as of about two years ago and have spent some time in Judo.
@@CombatSelfDefense Ahh ok. I haven't heard of kajukenbo
To sum it up, it’s a martial art from Hawaii that’s a combination of tang soo do, judo, jiu-jitsu, kenpo, and boxing.
Should really focus on the neck tie and over hook with the other hand. And not so much the trips. The rnc you shouldn't press on the back of the head and more grip your own shoulder. You can grab the back hand other wise. Judo is about throws and trips but the grips are hugely important. Say a osotogari can be more powerful if in a position of a gable grip in a front seat belt position. Kuchiki taoshi can be set up from that position too.
Important to not get the leg caught under the guy during the throw, you would become trapped by their thighs when they go down
What you call a Harai-Goshi is actually a Kubi-Nage.
Hmmmm. That Harai Goshi kind of looked more like Tai otoshi to me. And some of those O soto gari went more in the direction of o stop otoshi really.... But that's OK
IM SORRY BRADTHE GUY IN THE BACK 0:08 T_T
Dory Funk Jr. Teaches Judo
Was that osoto gari or osoto otoshi?
Yeah, gravity is the force thats always there that you can rely on.
osoto atoshi
Most of these throws depend on your opponent wearing a gi. How in the world do you make it work?
There not wearing giis
The most effective agains grabbing in street fight is waki-gatame.
Judo is suitable for self defense.
No time wasting or inflict injuries to attackers....
these gyms haveth so many soft bags for training , how comfortable, we in poor thai village have only trees to kick , sand and stones to be tripped fallen , gladful
Please note: for those that think this won’t end a fight or get close to it… real world doesn’t have mats and concrete is not good for bones.
I prefer fairbairn entries
kubi nage
Love the judo techniques but one of the main criticisms of all martial arts instructors is that someone who is smaller, weaker, with no skills, is fairly helpless without the art, like when steven segal traps a 90lb starlet in his trailer on the movie set. Learning an art for him to dominate in those situations is superfluous. Martial arts techniques should ALWAYS be demonstrated using an opponent who is bigger, stronger, somewhat athletic, and at least minimally resisting, just to give a sense of the effectiveness. If these techniques are marketed as effective in the big drunk violent uncle context, they should be effective in that context in reality for a smaller, weaker, unathletic novice to execute after maybe a month of practice. Obviously after 10,000 reps in controlled scenarios, people will improve at anything, but is it really effective against the bigger stronger drunk uncle who maybe did some high school wrestling or novice class boxing?
One question, i would like to see a throw in Realtime with normal power. Do you guys dont do it because of the risk of injury?
Great videos btw
No, actually, the reason we don't do the throws at full speed is because we're trying to go slow enough to make them repeatable, as in we want people to be able to watch and understand the movements of what we're doing. The intro (where we do the throws in the gi) are more up to speed, but we're still trying to do at a "training speed." on everything.
I never really understood the hip throw. The leg sweep allows you to immediately transition to his arm, or in a slight variation you make him fall on his head. Either is likely to end the fight. However, a throw where the opponent lands on his butt is not particularly effective, unless he happens to be carrying gear on which he falls...
You should watch the throws more closely at slow speed, the uke (Judo term for the person being thrown) lands on his side on his ribs and pelvis. It is really painful and on concrete it may cause significant injuries ending the fight with a single throw.
@@wikingagresor Interesting. Most of the times, I see the throw, people land on their buttocks, which is far more preferable over the bony part.
Well that would be attempted murder
@@pullupenthusiast3800 That's the dilemma... There's no safe way to incapacitate someone. Knocking someone out causes at least some brain damage. Choking or causing spasms is inherently unsafe too. Plus, unlike movies, if any of the three results in unconsciousness that lasts for more than a few seconds, then something is very wrong!
This reminds me of one incident in the town I used to study: One guy who did his entire life nothing else but commit crimes and ruin peoples lives attacked a father and his son for no apparent reason and beat both unconcious. The son woke up and saw the attacker continuously jumping on his dads head. He thus, stood up, and pulled out his Swiss Army Knife. He stabbed the other guy in his back with the two inch blade. It was enough to chase off the assailant. Otherwise, he might have murdered both of them. Yet the judge called it excessive use of force stating that he should not have attacked without a warning, but the knife was not that impressive and there was a huge disparity in force. Thus, I bet that the assailant would not have taken the threat seriously, but just KO him again...
liver is on the right side.
My "go-to" judo self-defense throw would be harai makikomi. Not only do you shatter your opponent's body on the ground, but you also get to land on them and crush their ribs, that is your choice of course, you could also gently let them down, but where's the fun in that?
There's fun and there's jail
You say in the description, that "Judo is probably the most overlooked martial art for self defense" . This video says pretty much the opposite: czcams.com/video/VXYqqx8DwFY/video.html - what should I believe?
Lol if I did that to my uncle he would really get injured If he does not know how to roll.
ayo bromance lookin smexy
judo is not one of the least popular martial arts, there are 200 nations in the IJF circuit and approx 50,000,000 players in the world. I have no idea where u came to that conclusion ...
I realize that Judo can be effective but I've done some martial arts myself over the years and this demonstration should have been performed with the defender against a significantly LARGER opponent rather than a smaller one. It seems time and time again whether it's a striking art or grappling art or anything in between, 95% of the demonstrations show what you're showing here, a small aggressor against a taller or more physically significant defender. That isn't helpful for people trying to get some real info and ideas on how to handle themselves in the real world. I'm 5'9", well over 200 lbs but I see ppl around me much larger than myself and younger all day long. It would not be easy for me to get an arm around a dude's neck who is 6'5" unless he is being already very compliant.
Videos like this are never good only because you’re not gonna learn anything unless you train it, judo is really effective but you have to train it and it takes time to get good at, videos won’t really turn you into Travis stevens
You know, I don't like things like this. The day to day training is what gets you to read balance. These throws are not step by step, but feeling and reacting to balance. It's simply impossible to watch and repeat these in any sensible way. Most martial arts are not body movements but body technique. Just need to train.
I'm not trying to be mean, but that's the worst demonstration of "Judo" that I've ever seen! I'd recommend Travis Stevens, Sampson's Judo, Steve Scott's Welcome Mat, Matt D'Aquino, or Shintaro Higashi (to name a few) for proper Judo instruction on CZcams. Judo Fanatics has lots of great, detailed instructional material as well.
it's not the worst but it has a lot of issues.
I'm sorry but you lost all credibility watching that "black belt" in the background.
I've never seen or heard so much crap you judo mate that's a black belt is showing so much crap about judo
You always try to walk away and apologise you have already visualised what's going to happen and how it's going to end
You mate is always showing you face to face and standing straight up and so are you
In judo you use the other person's movements towards you to your advantage against them and it's hard to say about how you have already visualised the end
At the risk of anger, this video is more harmful than helpful.
1. On the street, it is undesirable to fall and / or transfer the bout to the ground.
2. It is necessary to "handle" the opponent faster and harder, preferably with an injury.
I had to read the title a couple times to get it... old-school kodokan Judo is literally perfect for self-defense whereas modern ijf sport Judo is nearly worthless for self-defense
all these moves are still taught in "modern ijf sport Judo" as well as the seoi nage, ura nage, uchimata, etc. all of which are applicable throws in self defense and can be utilized without the gi. I think some of the differences between modern judo and old-school kodokan Judo is the emphasis on newaza and the current banning of leg grabs in tachi waza.
A very weak execution of these three moves very poorly executed,
I don’t believe these would work in a. street, fight , The attacker hardly resists
Boxing, Kickboxing, Muay Thai great for fitness. Grappling is good for fitness too. Shock knife is great for self defense practice
Combat sports are great for effective Street defense. My training in boxing kickboxing judo and wrestling helped be in a quick ending STREET FIGHT. Never take a STREET FIGHT lightly. 1.Argument. 2. Me pissed off 3.Me VIOLATING STREET RULE never get too close and LOOK FOR WEAPONS. Now EVERYONE goes to hospital. All armed people DIE or CRIPPLED. Yes aggressiveness and meanness caused me to KICK POS in SOLAR PLEXUS and put him on his ass. But I did NOT look for a Knife. So POS cut me cause I not looking for a knife. LOOK GOR a WEAPON. Be a destroyer of POS
