    One of my favorite things about Shintaro is his expertise across all the major grappling domains. So it's always a treat to hear him opine about ways to bring the best from one domain to another: in this case it was wrestling for judo, in others past its been bjj for judo. This type of cross-pollination is a breath of fresh air across all disciplines and gives me great hope for the future.

    I actually use the deliberate practice drills you talked about just constrained more for beginners / older judokas and I found that retention rate has increased instead of decreasing.

    As a former wrestler, a bjj and now a Nidan, Judo Black Belt, I can tell you yes wrestling does some good and hard workouts but that's nothing in comparison to a good Judo Club like ours. We cross train Traditional Japanese Ju Jitsu with our Judo with strikes, knee and ankle locks, we don't adhere to these ridiculous rules you can't touch the leg nonsense, we train real world Jugo/Ju Jitsu. Also, there's a great Jugo Club I follow. Welcome Mat Judo/Sambo and Japanese Ju Jitsu, it's a different world 🌎 in Judo, besides the throws everyone sees, Newaza and in Europe and other countries their NeWaza is Top Notch for sure

      I am an American who stand on what you're saying. I trained in bjj, judo and high-school wrestling and I totally agree . I dont separate bjj from judo or these crazy rules about not touching the legs. I strongly believe blending in traditional jiu-jitsu; we do this at my judo school. However, im straight judo now and don't really need bjj because my newaza is good enough

    I recently joined judo since I couldn’t find any wrestling gym for adults where I’m from , and contrary to what people be saying about judo ( even the watered down version ) being ineffective , I really disagree. So many of the throws , trips, and sweeps can be used in both gi and no gi, it’s very practical even without leg grabs. A-lot of the takedowns in judo are actually really powerful and would be really damaging if your throwing a normal person on concrete , furniture , or other hard surfaces and the person don’t know how to fall correctly . Randori is also very affective at helping you learn how to apply the techniques against a resisting opponent . I can’t say weather it’s better or worse than wrestling , but I would say that it is a very affective martial art / combat sport.

    Have a historical Judo question about the rear naked choke. Historically has this technique been a top submission finisher of contests? Is seems like in MMA and BJJ the rear naked choke is used a lot, but in Judo historically where does it rank in submission finishes of contests? My favorite choke is the Kata hajime, I wish this was used a lot more.

    Judo has a steep learning curve, I think it’s makes more sense for adult learners to join a BJJ club with wrestling classes. Then add the fact that No-Gi Judo isn’t a thing yet.

    • @Skeptic_Von_Rahm
      @Skeptic_Von_Rahm Před 10 měsíci +8

      Yeah because Judo is hard on the body especialy for old / adults and schools don't teach "old men" judo rather they teach "young men" judo
      Nogi judo isnt regonised but that doesnt stop judokas from practicong it
      Lets hope it will be officialy regonized someday

    Quick question: when Japanese and Koreans play baseball, is it mandatory the use the English words strike, ball, hit, out, inning, etc, or do they use their own normal language when they play? I thought koreans don't use many Japanese terms when practicing judo the way English speaking countries seem to be required to use all Japanese terms.

    • @64wy4x8s
      @64wy4x8s Před 10 měsíci +2

      In Korean baseball we use a mixture of English and Korean terminology for baseball. For certain terms like strike, ball, out, inning, we do have our own terms but we use them interchangeably with the Korean terminology as well.

    I love both. Wrestling is FAR more functional for BJJ or MMA. Plus…
    Nothing more annoying, when watching a judo match, than the sight of someone executing a beautiful ouchigari or kouchigari and opponent spins around to flop onto stomach. Zero score in judo (it would score in wrestling or advantage in BJJ). Total waste of a beautiful takedown.
