Jason Morris applying Judo in wrestling matches

[RemyR]

This popped up in my YouTube channel and as a halfway decent wrestler and shitty judoka I thought this was really neat to see someone blend judo into wrestling like this



This vid also has him slamming some guys judo style. Some of those look rough lol

He was very good at that osoto Gari. There seems to be a larger demand for no-gi Judo these days, but there aren't many people qualified to teach it. I wish he would make an instructional or a youtube video on it.

It's pretty much unavoidable, considering the vid title itself is fairly inflammatory.

Then I'd suggest people untwist their panties. I'm a wrestler and I think it's cool as fuck seeing this.

Steve Mocco. Obviously an Olympic Wrestler who did some Judo growing up is more of a wrestler than a Judoka.... But it's probably not a coincidence that the guy with a judo background and a sister who made the Judo national team was the foot sweep king.

Any judoka here that can explain the mechanics of the first throw he does in the 2nd video? Every wrestling instinct in me says reaching back like that is a bad idea.

I've seen him do that in other vids as well. Looks like a no gi version of georgian grip harai makikomi:



But with no belt to grab, Morris is instead grabbing uke's farside lat. He's not going to get as much lift doing it that way (because you can't pull up and over like with a belt grip), but it's obviously still effective.

Same basic mechanics as most turning hip throws, with a lat grip.

Check out Dong Hyung Kim fights for example, he uses it a lot.

So astonishing in one sport, but only amazing in another?

Would probably struggle in ballet too.

American college wrestling is stupid and inferior to real (freestyle) wrestling

Not stupid but freestyle has all high amplitude throws banned in collegiate.
