Hoping to get to Japan this year. Bust my knee last year so didn't go when I was supposed to. Doing Seoul and Tokyo this summer if all goes to plan but wouldn't mind going to Osaka.

All you have to do is discount videos from the last 5 years. Other than guard pulling you aren't going to find any better instructionals than Pedro's or Rhadi's.

So judo then.

I've only just got used to the new gripping rules tbh. Last weekend was the first time I had more than two fights in a comp due to injury in the last year. I'm not much of a head diver anyway, the only throw I do that does occasionally head dive is uchi mata.

Well yeah obviously but the standard of Judoka over your way is also a lot better.

I love Sambo but I go in with a Judo background and beat 90% of their guys no problem. Kashiwazaki & Sato also entered the Sambo worlds and picked up gold, although Kashiwazaki in particular is one of the best judokas ever IMO. Judo is a more popular sport and therefore the talent pool is deeper.

I think there's some shitty rule where they only give hansoku make if it's an intentional head dive, whatever that is. I've definitely seen DQ's for head dives but, at the same time, Travis Stevens got a really nice uchi mata where he ended up head diving and giving himself concussion...

Karelin without a doubt, Teddy Riner would also be HW champ within the year if he trained some boxing. Also lol at people saying Brock.

I disagree, whenever people ask what I train in and I say Judo, BJJ & Sambo, 99% of the time the only one they've ever heard of is judo. Obviously the MMA fans know BJJ but as far casuals and girls etc, it's always only Judo they've heard of.

Bump.

I like it.

Yeah I think it'll be harder for people to take your posts seriously now.

He could just be towing the IJF/FFJ line but apparently it's barbaric/no rules etc.

Teddy, like the rest of France/French Judo, despises MMA as well.

The only world champion Judoka I've done randori with was Craig Fallon in newaza, I played bottom and he passed my guard after a minute or so, I'd have probably done a little better on top as my bottom game sucks. He felt around purple belt level. I've done tachiwaza with lots of...

I don't think anyone is saying Riner is the Brock Lesnar of +100kg but let's be real here, if he didn't have a massive size/athletic advantage and leg grabs were allowed then he wouldn't be enjoying nearly as much success IMO. Usually when I watch really high level Judo I'm in awe of a lot the...

You should probably give some context since national level tournaments have 0 coverage and 9/10 who aren't from the area don't give a shit about them.

I'm at work whilst this is on so don't have as much free time to watch and discuss it. Denisov looking strong.
