I'm a Black belt in a similar art to judo (Japanese Jujitsu) and I gotta tell you, half that crap in judo I would never try on the street. LOL

[Tant01]

Crap? Half? Lol

Half that "CRAP" huh? LOL

It's only Judo if you play nice. When you're trying to hurt them it's jujutsu.

[Tant01]

Granted HB. You know you don't want to smash your own head or body on the deck if you should ever find yourself in need of your art for self defense.

I liked the brief tantowaza clip. There was a knee kick (simulated for safety) and even a judo "chop" in there. A few gems to be sure.

Awesome video Tant01! Can you tell what throw the guy right around :44 seconds transitions into? It looks like uchi makikomi.

[Tant01]

That would be the one!

I see a (drop) variation of the shoulder wrap around throw around 46-7?

Good eye!

[Britt]

That one really jumped out of me because of how smooth and explosive his transition was. That's the kind of stuff I wanted to see on the Olympics this year, instead of five solid hours of women's volleyball.

Couldn't agree more...although maybe ratings would increase for women's judo if they made it no-gi and required competitors to wear only skimpy swimsuits?

[Tant01]

That's not real judo...

That would be interesting but would it still be "judo"?

[chillaplata]

If they wore thongs and competed on sand...

...could we call it "Brazilian Beach Judo"? "BBJ" for short?
