>Judo isn’t wuwu Chinese nonsense
that wasnt my point you dip. my point was that one or two moves does not a system make. Because someone did a hip throw or a punch, which are common between systems, doesnt make what they did "proof of judo", just makes it grappling. just like if someone throws a punch, that doesn't make it "karate".
And yes, how many of those champions cross trained in wrestling? and how often do they tend to go for more wresting techniques?

>And yes, how many of those champions cross trained in wrestling? and how often do they tend to go for more wresting techniques?
If cross training to any degree invalidates a base martial art then wrestling champions won’t exist either since the vast majority of western wrestling specialists train folk style or Greco-Roman, neither of which involve submissions at all.
Off the top of my head though, yoshida, akiyama, and rouser we’re all judo specialists. Fedor Emelienenko was all a qualified “master of sport” in both judo and sambo which shouldn’t be surprising since they’re directly related to each other and often taught side by side in Eastern Europe.
While we’re on the topic though, I have no idea why wrestlers have such a big stick up their ass about judo “relying on the gi” when wrestlers literally don’t do submissions at all and a majority of bjj is also done in the gi.

maybe because bjj doesn't rely on the gi as much and many dont use it outright. While much of the initiation and engagement in Judo relies on it as a base to even work. holding each other's collars and cuffs. The difference here is that bjj wears the gi while much of judo uses it as a base for even engagement.
I did Judo bjj and wrestling, and the latter two ive really only found useful in scraps. throws are usually way too high risk middling reward. Things like trips and some hip throws are the only relitively "high percentile" moves that feel relatively safe outside of an explicitly Judo match. The submission piece I personally never felt mattered because thats largely a ground sort of thing (which wrestling and Judo are meant to transition you to, while bjj focuses on the ground itself). While wrestling functions on a "get the other person to the ground in an advantage state in a hustle" mentality which is much more effecual in a scrap. that's why in mma most take downs are single legs, double legs, and trips. Throws in a more particularly judo sense are the vast minority of "standing to ground" transitions.

As far as “scraps” go the few situations I’ve found myself in (four, in total) where I had opportunity to use my martial skills outside of sanctioned competition two were ended by the throw itself. One was ended by a chokehold after I threw them and one was ended after failing to secure a submission I got halfway to to starting to g&p and the other guy gave up. I don’t have any doubt that judo is effectual in a “real” fight based on personal experience. That said, I really don’t have any doubt on any combat sports effectiveness in a scrap though because most people are fricking moronic, drunk or high when they get into fights, and are not actually conditioned for fighting more than 30 seconds at a time. Debating the best martial art for street fights is in general a fruitless endeavor since training for a year or more in pretty much any serious combat sport will leave you more than prepared for what you can reasonably be expected to win on da streetz

I somewhat disagree. To an extent, yes, some training is better then no, BUT, the failure state of much of Judo Throws leave you very exposed. Its fine if it does go through, but if someones hips are lower then yours, or for some other reason it does not follow through, maybe they sprawl, you could very easily be exposing your back for a headlock or anything else. Thats why I said much of it is "high risk medium reward". Much of the methodology is for clean singular motions which if there is complications, cant always be relied upon.

>the failure state of much of Judo Throws leave you very exposed
I hear this all the time and my response is no they don’t. Unless you do something wildly stupid like try and do a turning throw at arms length away youre not “exposed” to anything but a potential counter throw. Moreover if the first attempt fails you can just turn back with little risk unless again you’re trying to do it at a stupidly long distance. Also not every judo throw is a turning throw. Also wrestling trains turning throws too. This meme seriously needs to die. > you could very easily be exposing your back for a headlock or anything else
Lmfao, lock the arm between the bicep and forearm when you do a shoulder throw to prevent the chokehold this is day one stuff. These moronic arguments are essentially “judo is bad if you do it like someone who doesn’t know judo.” It’d be like saying “well ackshually, double legs are bad because if you dive at someone with your head forward not protecting yourself from to far away you could get kicked!” Also wrestling doesn’t even teach submissions so good luck avoiding getting choked or armbar’d with no defensive skills dumbass. > Much of the methodology is for clean singular motions which if there is complications, cant always be relied upon.
Yes anon judo is totally reliant on there being no complications. That’s why Olympic judo matches look so clean and fluid and not like a desperate struggle right?

yes those are generally supplemental moves across disciplines in a fight I agree. >Lmfao, lock the arm between the bicep and forearm
yes anon, it was an example. Im not saying specific moves are just plain out nono's thats stupid, im more talking about the greater whole of methodology. You CAN do most things in a way that will work, doesn't make them apropriate in general. If your system is about getting into the correct stance and getting your opponent off guard in footsy, I find that a bit too technical and flightily a bent for street fighting ethos. It will work sure, but idk about it being the most appropriate. rather than focusing on KISS.

Are you talking about using foot sweeps to knock someone off balance? How hard is it for you to kick someone’s foot? Spoiler alert by the way getting into good position for an attack is part of ALL martial arts. >flightily
This isn’t even a word. Also the reason you have to use your feet to move people off balance in judo is because people who do judo have good balance. I’ve never had to do that in a scrap. You don’t have a clue what you’re talking about.

i dont know where people started thinking that you can only grab these heavy duty winter jackets from. most people wear tshirts, which can definitely be grabbed. only people wearing rashguards or who are naked cant be grabbed; excluding john danaher and crackheads, who do you see in public that dont wear a hoodie and a shirt? even assuming you cant grab anything, judo has full blown body lock throws like supplexes.

Also >reddit link
theres very little exclusivity anywhere. you cant call hip throws "not judo" but then call double legs "wrestling". both of them have it, and it gets complicated by the fact that everyone crosstrains, so your average judoka is also practicing guard from bjj, and your average nogi JJ is practicing takedowns from wrestling; however, the average wrestler, who is competing at schools, is not going to be practicing BJJ or judo because they don't have to. now if you actually want to compare martial arts, lets compare them in a complete vacuum based on how they're taught on average. >Greco roman/freestyle
-learn takedown and pins with or without leg grabs
-doesnt rely on shirts and being able to grab clothing >judo
-relies heavily on grabbing shirts
-learn takedown, pins, and submissions.
for most people, learning judo alone is the more practical choice than wrestling because most people wear clothes and have limbs that we can rip off to finish a fight once on the ground. if you bring crosstraining into the equation. it doesn't matter because then you pick and choose what you want, but most people barely have time to even train 1 discipline

You dont want your fighting style to be cloths dependent. You can grab t-shirts, but if you've ever backyard wrestled, unless you wear a particularly heavy tee, like a collared full wool, they will rip or stretch. Judo as a distinct thing, is very much defined by the gi. And the stuff that isnt (usually not trained as much) is very similar to Olympic style wrestling. >there's very little exclusivity
then in those cases where its not system specific, you should probably say grappling rather than a particular. especially when most judo stuff, like I mentioned, has the gi in mind.

my dojo is kind of like this.

We also teach adaptations for certain throws if there's no gi. We go more in depth on traditional top game ground fighting, etc. Most judo dojos we have visited dont do half the shit we do

It's definitely up there. There's a reason why judo has been the base for many self-defense, MMA, and police/military training. Judo is quite practically the most influential grappling style. It helped spawn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Sambo. Not to mention Luta Livre, Defendu, Krav Maga, Systema, and so many other styles. Only Catch-as-Catch-Can Wrestling can boast itself as a grappling style that played a huge part in combative sport and fight science.
Karate is, actual Karate that is, where you strike by pulling your opponent in and striking them with the free hand, its dirty, its quick and lethal, not that sport Karate though, frick that.

In the end, it matters how YOU apply what you trained in. You want wrestling with handles where you can pin, choke or armlock someone? Judo is great since it also teaches you breakfalls.
Wrestling has conditioning second to none. You'll learn how to attack the legs as well as upper body throws. How to control your opponent on the ground with leverage and momentum.
You know why grappling is no-nonsense and doesn't involve mysticism smoke and mirrors? Because you have to practice against a resisting partner whose gonna toss you on your ass and smother you with pain compliance moves and pressure.
Grappling is a continuum; there is no be all and end all. You constantly learn and refine everyday when you train and pick up stuff from other approaches to wrestling.
Combat sambo is pretty amazing. Same with Kudo. They basically combine striking and grappling while wearing headgear and a gi (well a kurtka in Sambo's case).
if you can find it. judo and bjj is commercially much more accessible than any other grappling art.

Nah it's karate
No, it relies far too heavily on the jacket and jacket grips. Banning leg grabs and many forms of newaza also hurts it.
