Thank you all.

IBJJF sucks ever since they put in the "no decapitation" rules.

My Judo instructor told me a arm lock is just making the arm go the way it isn't meant to.

Judoka all my life.  Got jumped in high school by three guys as only a yellow belt.  Taiotoshi onto frozen ground, ouchi gari to another into kasa gatame.  Heard and felt his spine cracking.. the third ran and so did I.  I was afraid I hurt them bad. Looked back a min later they were just getting up.  Felt great, dad was proud!

I trained BJJ for1.5 years. The ground fighting was very effective, and I was never injured. I trained Judo for 6 months and found it hard not to get injured. Judo is downright scary. When you get thrown hard, you feel like you just got hit by the planet… which you did.

That's the arm break from everybody hates Chris on his brother

My uncle learned judo during Nam. 76 years old and still drops me without a sweat. Granted, he's 6'5"" and 250 lbs of ohrnery.

problem with those 'deadly' techniques is that you cant practice them which results in situations we can watch on numerous 'bullshido' videos where killer ninja masters are ragdolled by subpar mma fighters

Most those movements and strikes are still taught to US Marines and Soldiers also Philippines system of Kali. 👍👍

These were the types of Judo moves we were trained in during Close Combat Instructor Training I received when I was in The Corps on Okinawa in the early 70's. As the gentleman here says they were removed from competitive Judo but they are perfect for real world martial combat training. I earned a Brown belt in Okinawan Judo while on Okinawa and had boxed Golden Gloves in H.S., with a 12 - 4 record (a U.S. Recon Marine vet. and former Close Combat Instructor).

I studied classical ju-jitsu in Cape Town SA. My Instructor used the judo to teach us the basic technique and then would teach us the ju-jitsu or street version of the throw. So for example for katagurma   the ju-jitsu version was to throw uke forwards in the direction one was facing but at the same time dropping to one knee so one could effectively break ukes back across the knee. Obviously this had to be practiced very carefully throwing uke carefully in front of the knee for practice. My instructor always said that judo was the competition version of ju-jitsu where one could practice randori at full force while the original  ju-jitsu techniques that the judo came from had a far more dangerous  element and thus had to be practiced under more controlled conditions. As a further example in ostogari the older  ju-jitsu version used an armlock to break ukes balance and then the reap.

Also, Spine Locks and Severe Neck Cranks are very dangerous in Judo and Jiu Jitsu.

Excellent explanation and education for the newer generations of judoka who have no clue of the original sources of judo. Many decades ago as young teenager we were taught a Kawaishi style in Canada which eventually morphed into a more docile Kodokan style to eliminate some dangerous techniques for young judokas who had not yet attained green belt level/maturity . Well done.

Another good one Chadi!

You should write a book on this stuff. A massive coffee table one. I’d buy it

I had an Uncle of mine that passed away before I was born, his name was Mitsuho Kimura. He was a 9th Dan. One of my other uncles who trained with him when he was young told me he would teach ankle locks, knee locks, knee bars, and various other leg locks. He would also teach many different types of chokes and he would also teach atemi waza. I heard a story that he once got challenged by a Karate fighter and when he could no longer avoid the karate fighter, he fought him. My late uncle beat the karate fighter when he caught a front kick (mae geri), then swept the karate fight so hard he fell and hit his head on the tatami mat and was KO’d. He was a peaceful man but I guess sometimes a fight is unavoidable. He did Judo till the day he died. I wish he didn’t die before I was born. He sounded like an amazing man. All I hear is stories of how great he was. I wish I could have trained under him. 😔

I’m lucky that my Japanese jujutsu  still teaches us these self-defense techniques

Yes!!! Great Video Chadi. Shinden Fudo Ryu is one of my favorite systems of study. Very strong Ryuha. As for Atemi-waza it is very reminiscent of weapons. As an instructor of old school Jujutsu Ive noticed that it is rare to find people who are interested in the old ways, especially in the USA. Thank you for sharing this. 🥋💪🏽

My coach says that fighting is fighting. We added some light striking to our regular Jiu Jitsu yesterday. It is a wake up call for sure! Remember our roots.

I really enjoyed that. I'm an ex student of Kodokan judo. Jigoro Kano's way.

One of the first judo moves I learned was sode tsurikomi goshi. With it, I was taught how to do it safely to allow uke to land safely, then how to drop my knee and make sure the head smashed the concrete.  With no arms, there is no breakfall. Deadly.
