Here is a thread for Judo discussion whether it be Techniques, Competition, Kata or MMA.

If anyone needs to ask a question about Judo then feel free to ask, I know we have a few good Judoka on this forum.

So Judokas of MMAForum...show yourself.

Introduce yourself as a Judoka.

Well here is a first question, Who do you think the best Judoka in MMA is(By this i mean the best at Judo as a whole and at Judo competition) And apart from Karo who do you think has used Judo very well in MMA(Not just throws).

Who do you see in MMA that uses Judo and is not labeled as a Judoka?

Hey dudes, Im not a Judoka, sorry. But I would more than love to be one, if I had enough money, Judo, or ***** would be the first thing Id sign up to.

I was recently watching some Judo HL's and I came across this guy named Geesink, hes really good.
GET OUT!!!(Evil Stare)


Just kidding.

Geesink is a huge guy he is like 6'7 or something and weighs a fair bit. He is a 10th dan and in the IJF(International Judo Federation) hall of fame. If you interested in watching legendary Judoka like Geesink i suggest you watch Kyuzo Mifune who was a master technician.

Me to, I did some BJJ and MMA with some pro fighters and great BJJ guys and it was fantastic...I hope i can get back to cross training as soon as possible.

Lombard is great, I have seen his fights(Great throws) and talked to him. He does a very nice Harai Goshi against James Te Huna which dislocates Te Huna's arm.

Minotauro Nogueira also mixes Judo/Judo Newaza and BJJ together very nicely.

I don't do it at the moment but I will next year, and I have friends who do it so I learned a lot sparring with them in Judo matchessort of things where we just practised takedowns.
How long does it take to get a black belt? Training like twice a week?

Becoming Shodan(1st Dan Black Belt) is a frequently asked question and trufully it is impossible to answer because there are to many variables let alone it varies a lot from person to person but i would say on average around 5 years.

drop knee is my goto move. i also attack with ouchi gari/uchi mata makikomi, or osoto gari/harai makikomi combo i like to end in a makikomi fashion to hear the wind get knocked out of them, i like ure nage too.

Hey. I'm a Judo newb.

My signature moves (aka the only ones I can reliably pull off) are O goshi, Osoto otoshi, and Tani Otoshi. For ne waza, I like juji gatame, ude gatame , and sankaku jime. Unfortunately, the armlocks are often catch and release, since one of the teachers (who usually runs the sunday class) doesnt approve of lower ranks doing armlocks.

I used to do Judo alot when I was in School. In fact a group of us all joined up at the same time, it was really fun. But like an idiot I gave it up because, I "couldn't be bothered" training anymore. Classic teenagerism. . . Some of us got pretty good, highlight was coming second at our county championships (I guess that's like State Championships in the USA). My best mate beat me in the final, lol.

I loved the groundwork more than standing and I'd sometimes just give up a throw (obviously not an Ippon) to get to the floor. Liked Udi Garame (that's figure-four right?) alot, especially from a couple of the holds, can't remember exactly. . . ummm Broken Scarf-Hold or something? Side control rocks. :thumbsup: I can't remember what it's called but the blood choke you get with your hands by grabbing the opposite lapels from mount and rotating your wrists. That was a favourite too.

Only throws I really liked and used effectiviely where Morote-Sei-Onagi and Tai-otoshi. See I remember them. Liked them because you could do them from various grips and from neutral (double centre grip) so could easily go right or left. Though the only Ippon I ever got in competition was from Harai-Goshi. Totally winded him. It was pretty sweet.

Nowhere round where I live though that does it.

the top 2 links did not work for me, as for ***** we have a couple guys at my judo dojo, these guys are very good judo players. i was trying to learn this throw until i was spiking everyone of my team mates, so i just gave up on it, i landed it 3 times out os 15, and i did not want to hurt anyone else.

YouTube - これがサンボだっ(37) Gadavlia

YouTube - Khabarelli judo

Anyone else hate excessive turtling?
there is not really excessive turtling in judo, due to the fact you only have 5 seconds or so to make something happen, then it is back to the feet.

if you learn about the turtle, you will have a better chance of beating the turtle, by learning the weeakness of it. i love the turtle!!

Hmm. I've only done a few Randori matches, where competition rules were in place. I didn't even encounter the turtle in those instances. =[

However when we practice ne waza without many rules (except for illegal techniques and such) some people I practice with just turtle up whenever they are at a disadvantage. I find it really hard to get people out of that. I usually sink in the hooks and roll them over, but even that can be hard sometimes.

I annoys me a lot though, since I tend to view things from a realistic or MMA context, and figure that I'd be kneeing the crap out of someone if they did that to me outside of grappling...

Do you have any tips of beating the turtle? Aside from sinking in hooks, I only have one other method, which I haven't even tried out yet on a live opponent. I offer a leg, reach under and grab the opposite lapel, dive over and roll, whilst trapping their arm between my leg. Wow, I fail at describing it... But yeah...
