As a Judo black belt and former Mixed Martial Artist, and someone who has worked security for the last 12 years in high risk environments, I have been in hundreds of real life physical altercations. One of the BEST takedowns EVER has proven for me to be the Osoto Gari. It is super simple and easy to learn and master, it can be one of the most devastating and punishing takedowns or one of the most gentle depending on how much leverage you decide to incorporate, it bypasses the guard and puts you right into knee on belly, and it has a low risk factor if it doesnt go your way. It is easily adapted to no-gi with a single collar tie grip. Not to mention it is a technique that requires a little less room than other techniques making it great for close quarter crowded spaces, AND it can be easily incorporated into team based takedowns and other strategies. Osoto Gari definately deserves to be on the S tier. No question about it.
Yes. Funny enough some people who naturally have great sense of balance and some athleticism can readily do crude osotogari quite effectively, without even knowing what osoto gari is. It is so intuitive.
Being a Judo blue belt (as a kid ) i agree 😉. Seriously though, it's a move that once you learned how to use it, you don't forget it. And you can use it for the rest of your life, even if you'r out of shape.
The 1st throw I learned was the Osoto Gari. It was a fundamentals class, the instructor was this Sergeant Major (black in judo/brown in bjj), and he picked me bc I was the tallest in the class and a vet. He instantaneously knocked me down flat on my back. It is this memory that always convicts me to polish break falls. I really feel the foot sweep (sasae) should be S tier. Almost broke a rib when I got hit it. I fell on a matted cage and I still felt like I fell down a flight of stairs; I can't imagine it on concrete.If someone can master it, then they will look like Yoda.
Osoto is the first throw I learned in TKD as a kid. I personally have to rank it S tier for the sole fact I have used it on all my girlfriends. You modify it a little bit and go in close, far arm on shoulder, near arm hips/waist(to catch her before she falls all the way), and then go for the throw. It is as close to the movie sweep her off her feet as you can get.
First throw I learned was Ippon Seoi Nage for that exact reason. You learn almost all of the judo fundamentals and principles (off balance, pivot, momentum, timing, follow through, ground transition) in one throw.
Yes! That's my favourite. But sometimes it doesn't work! But, in that situation. I tried to throw my pal. I don't know why. He blocked it! I had no other ideas. But, luckily. It was just silly football pitch joking around. Why, the hell did I do that? It's embarrassing when it does not work! Dam! Another stupid decision.

As for the Tomo Nage/Sacrifice Throw if you have any gymnastics skill you can continue your roll and pop up back on your feet afterwards which is useful and looks _really cool_ - careful where you put your feet upon landing though.
Theiy aren't that hard. It's a go to for me. I'm 5' 6" and once I get a guy to lower his level while i have a collar tie, thai clinch or a good lapel grip if he leaves that leg out there for me it's pretty high %. I use a Russian variant also that start by trapping the foot with your foot, then pushing him backwards and when he goes to catch his balance he usualy spread legs to far and yhat lowers his posture and then go for the traditional pick.
Dang I wish Uchi Mata, Tai Otoshi, and Kata Garuma were thrown into the list, but all in all very informative! Love Shintaro's channel, been a big fan since I started my Grappling Journey
When I did wrestling for one year, a knee pick was my go to every time, I was 195 at the time and had upper body strength so getting the head down was cake, all in all it’s something I mastered so well that in any street fight I’d feel confident in incorporating it in a situation. Still i’m a stand up striker at heart, but you can never get too comfortable in any style.
I feel like shooting in during an actual fight is giving up the head to blows or guillotine, and the body to a number of strikes. Saw a guy try it once, and he got his skull busted with a bottle of Jack. Then they put the boots to him. I’ll stick to striking, baton, or J-frame.
@@onerider808 definitely. idk with smaller weight classes, but at least for bigger one’s, you don’t give up your head while knee picking, it’s more of a who can dominate who tactic. the only time i would use it in a street fight, is when ur fighting standing, and it comes into a clinch for whatever situation that would lead to that. instead of shooting in, grabbing the back of the neck, pushing their head down with your forehead, wrist control with other hand, then pull them down with all your force, immediately go to knee pick. in this situation you will not be giving up your head🤞🏼
Yup, UFC has really detracted from the importance of good throws on to a hard surface. To be honest, people can withstand alot of punches in most street fights, but a good throw on to back, back of head or shoulder etc will end someone (back of neck kills people easily).
@@uberdonkey9721 Last week I went to Judo class and while sparring got thrown with Ippon Seoi Nage. Felt my ribs jam into my organs and was on the ground in pain for 5 minutes. If that was done full force on any non-mat surface, I would definitely be in the hospital, assuming I was still alive.
@Kaitlyn Bush I'm currently being flung around in judo , at maybe 50% what the guys could actually do , and on a padded mat and so far I've had smashed ribs , knee and hip, on a street you would be so fucked
Great video! Really felt like this helped deepen my understanding of some of these techniques. Can't stop imagining Shintaro at the bar, 8 beers deep, launching bodies lmao
This one was a lot of fun. Great guest. I remember, back in my 20's, the flying scissor takedown was my best opener. Nobody outside of Judo had ever seen anything like it, and being airborne while executing it made it so fast and flashy that it was a real ego-boost. The only time it failed for me was when facing a fast TKD guy, who shuffled back fast enough to completely avoid being there when my legs clipped. It instead turned into a belly flop. We both had a good laugh.
Haha. Yes so true ! I had the same experience. I was trained at a Dojo that did both Karate and Judo/jiu jitsu in the 90thies We did a lot of sparring with different other martial art schools. I remember sparring with a TKD guy, so i was off right away doing the scissor, then missing itand being kicked in the head while in mid air 😅TKD has a bad reputation these days, but being kicked in the head is no joke.
S tier: Ankle Pick if Tony Ferguson does it on a heavyweight A Tier: single leg against the cage with no intention to actually take the guy down, head down eyes closed double leg F tier: Everything else
A high crotch is a shot not a takedown.... how you decide to finish it is considered the takedown. You can finish it with either a single or a double leg.
At a wrestling tournament I was apart of last year I defended a single leg by using the front headlock take down. It was deemed my best move by my coaches because I'm a in the unlimited weight class and to bring a big guy over me like that is awesome to see and super impressive
When I started Judo I wondered why O soto was the first you learn aswell! Since it's actually very hard to do well. I think the thought behind that is you learn it early on in your training so you'll keep practicing because it is a very good throw to know
I remember when I did MMA Everybody knew me as the double leg kid, back then I was a big guy so it was perfect for me. It was kinda like my signature move.
Arm drags are my go to Whenever friends/coworkers ask me to show them jiujitsu or wrestling moves. It's so easy to teach and pull off against non grapplers.
Some of the effectiveness of these takedowns is greatly effected by body type. For example, the ankle pick is typically done by someone with a longer frame, a double leg is more often done by someone with a lot of explosive power and athleticism.
Did I miss arm drag? Not really a throw but it is my favorite deescalation technique. Nobody hits the floor but you have great control when you are done. I work with sick people who are sometime confused. No throwing allowed. Arm drag is perfect.
DocTarnation I thought shintaro trained at renzos regularly with the danaher guys. Or at least did so in the past. I don’t really like the ankle pick either. To each his own.
Much respect for this list. Great info from Higashi Sensei. The fact you're covering the most common (across grappling disciplines) throws/takedowns makes sense. Not going to argue with the rankings you have. I could get behind those, just thought I'd add a couple essentials that I think should be in the list. These are slightly more advanced and thus a little harder to get good at, but (due to their common usage in MMA), harai-goshi (sweeping hip), o-guruma (big wheel), and uchi-mata (inner thigh) should be considered. Downsides of sweeping-hip or big wheel (in keeping with this topic): * throwing from 1 leg requires greater balance and control * exposes your back to opponent (but a little less awkwardly than an o-goshi depending on variation) BIG upside of these (or why to add them to list): * a failed o-goshi or koshi-guruma can often be salvaged with some sweeping or springing hip action, making these essential "continuations" of those techniques (o-guruma being tends to happen when they miss the sweeping hip) * can be enhanced with makikomi finishes to increase impact, and maintain close control on landing (and get the 3x coolness-multiplier the sound of air escaping uke's lungs percussively) Not to be forgotten, ashi-variant uchi-mata is a worthy addition to the list. So many headlocks and neck-and-shoulder (standing kesa-gatami style triangles) end with a torque/twist and a thigh-lift. It's almost instinctive on the thrower's part. Not usually as pretty as the other hip throws, but effective and relatively safe. Also had to laugh when Higashi Sensei questioned why we teach o-soto-gari first! Here are the reasons I can come up with: * "Well duh... cause that's how my sensei taught me!" * Concussion-generator-gari is difficult to master, hard to take a fall from, and way more dangerous than kane-basami, so if a student comes back after their first class, they're a "keeper." * It's GREAT self-defense tool, and an easy concept to understand, so if they never come back, at least they learned a life-skill. * What would you rather teach first, hiza-guruma? That's for their second class. -best regards
I think you may be right on the Osoto Gari being good at teaching you the basic principles. I remember it was one of the first techniques I ever learned, and I was thereafter always mindful of (un)balance, position, posture (both physical and mental). Yep, think you hit the nail on that one. And also your ranking videos are always fun! Please do keep them coming!
@Andrew Onymous I’m not mad I’m just saying it’s called a gi and Judo and wrestling have different techniques I know because one of my friends does judo and I wrestle.
Would have loved to see: Fireman's carry (fairly easy to learn, flashy and great against both grapplers and non, plus no guillotine risk) - A tier Duck under (not that useful against non grapplers but easy to take the back for rnc) - D tier Arm drag (easy to get back control for suplex / rnc against a shoving opponent, low risk, easy to learn, but not flashy. More of a setup to takedown than a true takedown though) - b tier Low single (medium diff to learn, medium risk, very effective against grapplers and non, but not flashy) - c tier
For me a single leg to some kind of trip/sweep always worked amazing. I'm usually shorter than most of my opponents. Once I pick up the leg their is so much I can do with it, usually just a step through drive puts them down but if they counter that I'm ready for a sweep, or to even slide my hands to the ankle and just sprint forward while throwing his foot above my head if I have enough room. I was never a double leg guy. I had good success with a single leg and if i didn't get the guy down I was typically still standing where as a failed double leg seems to put you in a bad spot more often. Sure you may eat a strike or two while working the single leg but if you are cautious, good and fast you will get it 75% of the time and if the guy is committing to his strikes you will have an even better chance. If you are working hard you won't give him much time to get off any good strikes anyway. I don't have the best fight/grappling record, I won a couple medals though, no traditional wrestling experience but I was able to take down university team wrestlers and some of the best pro top (3 mma) guys in Canada in lower weight classes 145 - 135 with single leg variations. I was walking around at 155-180, depends on the time, and I have used single legs to take down 260 pound juice monkey's that were beginner grapplers or UFC level MMA guys in my own weight class. It always worked for me in training, fighting, grappling and even self defense situations. In regards to Judo take downs they work very well if you don't know the guy is a judoka. My #1 training partner back in the day who was a high level mma pro started doing a lot of Judo, but I knew it and knew he was going to be trying it so I kept my hips away from him but if you don't know ya you are going down hard.
As a BJJ white belt who currently doesn't know S about F, this is a fantastic video. Demos move so fast at the club and I often struggle to keep up in terms of the names, techniques, defenses, etc. This is a great break down. Thanks fellas.
Pretty cool list. Would have loved to hear your opinions on Harai Goshi (or Tai Otoshi) and Uchi Mata. Since I especially loved the latter back when I used to compete
Single leg, head n arm throw, and front headlock were my shit in wrestling. I also love the monkey flip. Was never really good at double legs and even worse at ankle picks.
As a not-grappler teaching other not grapplers to grapple, I think the outside reap is the first technique to learn party because it feels so safe. It's really easy to be in complete control of the momentum of the situation through out all of the execution. Love the video and the colab.
My mind was blown for the double leg talk. Another point I’d wanna add is that the DLeg would be A-S tier IF YOU’RE in the same weight class. But according to your criteria a B is perfect
Another point for the suplex, it can break a non-grappler mentally. You're duking it out and a dude your size got behind and man handled you through the air onto your neck/back/knee base, and your opponent will put you where he wants you to end the fight-if it isn't over already.
It’s good to have experience with many different takedown concepts....I think that’s one reason wrestlers are so dominant in scrambles. Seems like the drop/snatch single should be S-tier seeing how it’s almost a universal counter to a throw. Blast double vs double.
Really cool to hear the discussions. Ankle pick is actually my favourite especially on bigger players. But to get over the distance a classic combo is to do Ko Uchi Gari (minor inner sweep) or even O Uchi Gari (as seen in this vid) and as they go to lift their leg out the way, stick to it and feed their ankle into your hand. I like it because a lot of off balancing can be super hard but pull them towards you to the right or left and they 99% WILL post a leg forward.
Man, it's nostalgic to watch this list. O-soto, O-uchi, O-goshi and seoi-nage are the only moves I remember from my judo days when I was a kid. Well, my dad told me about the tomoe-nage as well, only not by that name, but rather just as 'sutemi', and told me I couldn't use it. Our judo instructor actually called the seoi-nage the 'spierballenworp', which means something like 'muscle flex throw', because it looks like you're flexing when you use it. That's probably one of the reasons I still remember it even though it's been around two decades since I last practiced judo.
A drop tai otoshi is certainly among my favorites for gi training. Snap downs to ankle picks are satisfying as hell, as well as single to double leg. Also, if you’re getting guillotined on your doubles, you’re not controlling their legs as you fall. You move them across after you begin falling, in a way that would land you in side control. If you’re across their body, they won’t finish a guillotine, and you’re less likely to land on your own head.
There's probably literally 2 examples of a short person scoring uchimata against a tall person in the Olympics. S tier coolness... but sucks if you're against someone taller
One of the harder Judo throws to learn one leg up good Kuzushi. Coolness factor: epic. Risk. High. Practicality. Yeah if you can do side kicks then you can also do uchimata but everyone knows side kicks dont work. I have to go with C Tiet with uchi-mata 🤷🏻♂️
@@casparbosch5615 absolutely. Every throw/takedown has risk, some more than others. It comes down to the amount of time you have put into the takedown you are attempting. For me its decades which is more than a lot of people so the risk for me to do this throw combo is less than a white belt doing a Ouchi or Ogoshi. Most Judoka have that one throw that they really specialize in just like a lot of JiuJitsuka have that one position or submission they specialize in, mine is Uchi Mata and I can show plenty of follow ups off failed attempts, ankle pick, knee pick, kouchi gari. The key is pick a throw and then have plenty of combos off it because after about 6 months one throw attempt won't be enough it will have to be fakes and combos.
@@tusccountyjiujitsu uchi mata is a very nice throw for that for sure, specially since it can be done woth sleeve and lapel grip. I'm still working on it though, but now with corona I haven't been able to improve much... I like seoi and sode as well, since they work off of 1 grip.
Judo is so fun! There are some similar takedowns between Americanized karate styles so that makes it easier, especially if you wrestled in high school!
founding father of American MMA and record breaking wrestling coach here...the best takedown in history is the slideby to backtrip AKA tani otoshi...I use a russian 2 on 1 to start the series, it's all about the risk-benefit analysis
Just a mediocre former high school wrestler and this + low risk ankle picks were all I did. I was extremely boring to watch, but I could beat people that were much more talented and experienced than me
Coming from a wrestler, the double leg could become an S(in my opinion) because it can be one of the hardest takedowns to defend, as well as(mentioned in the video) if you just transition from a traditional double to a blast double, the guillotine risk is almost zero
the ankle pick where you drop down and press your shoulder below the knee is so good... just really good, like from a scrambling position to someone trying to stand up.. it's great.. just need to be quick with it
Earned a yellow belt in Judo 35 years ago. I've been training now the last 9 months of BJJ and I have 4 stripes on my white belt :). I'm fat, old slow and have little skill. But I consistently successfully complete Tai Otoshi. I push and on their push back, I go. Wasn't on the list... But I subscribe to Shintaro's page and watch it; and go back t his videos all the time. Thank you!
I got mad love for Judo throws cause you see a lot of them in African grappling styles. Those outside trips and foot sweeps come naturally so they're favorites
I wrestled in 6th grade. I do t really remember how they taught the single leg, but i can double leg decently. Also pulled off a leg scissor while sparring with my buddy, freaked him out. He was learning Iaido, and usually beat me sparring with bokken. I got him hand to hand most of the time though. 23 years of teaching myself
There's a variation of the Osoto that you see in wing chun which keeps both feet on the floor, rather than the more common version. Honestly one of my favourite techniques, easy to learn, super effective against non-grapplers, keeps your balance, and one of the few takedowns where you can control your opponent's fall, making it safe for them too. Only issue is that it is not that useful against grapplers, since if they're good they can reverse it on you, which is a real shame.
@@SenseiSeth well, there are dozens of techniques in the official syllabus. so its kind of expected to leave some good ones behind (looking at you, harai goshi)
Ahhh this tier is great and bring me memories. When I was first thrown in a Tomo Nage I literally was on the tatami laughing for a minute and asked my sensei to repeat it. It's like flying and so surprising I always describe it as "you're chilling standing going about whatever you're doing and suddenly you're in the floor". But my favourite will always be Ipon Seoi Nage since that was my choice for my black belt qualification (that I never took in the end cause it coincided with everything) I decided on that one taking into account my hobbit size. Can't wait to go back to Judo
Coolest looking takedowns Suplex- Classic Tomoe Nage - Also a classic. Fireman’s Carry - basically the Burning Hammer Double Leg - Another classic Power Bomb - cool technique to get out of a submission Piledriver - VERY illegal but looks cool Backbreaker - also illegal but looks cool Seoi Nage - Classic as Hell, the standard Judo throw.
Double legs are the easiest takedowns to defend. Like literally. This is the basic takedown in modern wrestling and we teach how to defend it like day one
Ankle pick as F tier is the one I just cannot see. It is low risk, high reward, as long as you have the person off-balance first by forcing them to take a step forward so they naturally posture backward. Even if you miss it, you are low and inside, with opportunities to either back up or strike. As for coolness, you duck down and the other guy is suddenly on their back, so that is pretty cool in my book. Ankle pick should be at least A-tier, if not the only S-tier.
In my college judo club we were allowed use the wrestling practice room and one guy Tomorrowlands nagi'ed his partner into the ceiling because he didn't hold onto him. Seeing him fly up in the air like that was impressive.

The problem with osoto gari is if the person knows how to defend against it you might end up getting osoto
The 1st throw I learned was the Osoto Gari. It was a fundamentals class, the instructor was this Sergeant Major (black in judo/brown in bjj), and he picked me bc I was the tallest in the class and a vet. He instantaneously knocked me down flat on my back. It is this memory that always convicts me to polish break falls.
I really feel the foot sweep (sasae) should be S tier. Almost broke a rib when I got hit it. I fell on a matted cage and I still felt like I fell down a flight of stairs; I can't imagine it on concrete.If someone can master it, then they will look like Yoda.

Should have added tai otoshi and osoto garı.. they are probably the most effective and used throws (along with uchi Mata)

Poor arm drag 😞
When I did wrestling for one year, a knee pick was my go to every time, I was 195 at the time and had upper body strength so getting the head down was cake, all in all it’s something I mastered so well that in any street fight I’d feel confident in incorporating it in a situation. Still i’m a stand up striker at heart, but you can never get too comfortable in any style.
That's soo crazy, wild even.
I feel like shooting in during an actual fight is giving up the head to blows or guillotine, and the body to a number of strikes. Saw a guy try it once, and he got his skull busted with a bottle of Jack. Then they put the boots to him. I’ll stick to striking, baton, or J-frame.
@@onerider808 definitely. idk with smaller weight classes, but at least for bigger one’s, you don’t give up your head while knee picking, it’s more of a who can dominate who tactic. the only time i would use it in a street fight, is when ur fighting standing, and it comes into a clinch for whatever situation that would lead to that. instead of shooting in, grabbing the back of the neck, pushing their head down with your forehead, wrist control with other hand, then pull them down with all your force, immediately go to knee pick. in this situation you will not be giving up your head🤞🏼
Yes. That's kind of my pick. But what if they stand tall. And attack the neck or spine. I can't see any throws, I really like the look of here.
I bet you could have included a master Ken move or restomp the groin throw somewhere in this list hah
Haha I could’ve!
're stomp the groin occupys all the spots
Everyone knows ameridote is too deadly to be on these lists
I think the damage the throw makes in a self defense situation if done correctly should be a factor too
Yup, UFC has really detracted from the importance of good throws on to a hard surface. To be honest, people can withstand alot of punches in most street fights, but a good throw on to back, back of head or shoulder etc will end someone (back of neck kills people easily).
@@uberdonkey9721 Last week I went to Judo class and while sparring got thrown with Ippon Seoi Nage. Felt my ribs jam into my organs and was on the ground in pain for 5 minutes. If that was done full force on any non-mat surface, I would definitely be in the hospital, assuming I was still alive.
@@uberdonkey9721 definitely even just landing on your back on concrete or worse a curb could instantly end the fight
If thats a factor, suplex is S tier
@Kaitlyn Bush I'm currently being flung around in judo , at maybe 50% what the guys could actually do , and on a padded mat and so far I've had smashed ribs , knee and hip, on a street you would be so fucked

Haha dang, we’re getting good at this!

Great video! Really felt like this helped deepen my understanding of some of these techniques. Can't stop imagining Shintaro at the bar, 8 beers deep, launching bodies lmao
This one was a lot of fun. Great guest. I remember, back in my 20's, the flying scissor takedown was my best opener. Nobody outside of Judo had ever seen anything like it, and being airborne while executing it made it so fast and flashy that it was a real ego-boost. The only time it failed for me was when facing a fast TKD guy, who shuffled back fast enough to completely avoid being there when my legs clipped. It instead turned into a belly flop. We both had a good laugh.
Haha. Yes so true ! I had the same experience. I was trained at a Dojo that did both Karate and Judo/jiu jitsu in the 90thies We did a lot of sparring with different other martial art schools. I remember sparring with a TKD guy, so i was off right away doing the scissor, then missing itand being kicked in the head while in mid air 😅TKD has a bad reputation these days, but being kicked in the head is no joke.
S tier: Ankle Pick if Tony Ferguson does it on a heavyweight
A Tier: single leg against the cage with no intention to actually take the guy down, head down eyes closed double leg
F tier: Everything else
As someone who’s at a very beginner stage with grappling and takedowns, 15 seconds in I already love this video
Ayeee
Yall have amazing chemistry, now do a 3 way colab with Icy Mike
Why is the high crotch single not on this list?? That is easily the coolest takedown because who doesn’t like seeing someone get rag dolled
Khabib would like to know your location.
For real it's so satisfying to watch him effortlessly toss pro fighters around with high crotches
A high crotch is a shot not a takedown.... how you decide to finish it is considered the takedown. You can finish it with either a single or a double leg.
@@lxlpsycho Firemans carry would easily be the flashiest takedown from high crotch.
@Jhon Thomas and one of the easiest.
@@nicholasneyhart396 Easy to learn, not easy to actually use. If you practice enough, you can definitely get it, just not easy.
At a wrestling tournament I was apart of last year I defended a single leg by using the front headlock take down. It was deemed my best move by my coaches because I'm a in the unlimited weight class and to bring a big guy over me like that is awesome to see and super impressive
When I started Judo I wondered why O soto was the first you learn aswell! Since it's actually very hard to do well. I think the thought behind that is you learn it early on in your training so you'll keep practicing because it is a very good throw to know
I remember when I did MMA Everybody knew me as the double leg kid, back then I was a big guy so it was perfect for me. It was kinda like my signature move.
The Tomo Nage in the "court room" was actually Korean members of Congress.
Wait did u guys talk about arm drags or was it just automatic D
Must have accidentally cut it idk
Think you misspelled S
Idk why it was so low. Arm drags are cool af.
Arm drags are op af, I dont understand
Arm drags are my go to Whenever friends/coworkers ask me to show them jiujitsu or wrestling moves. It's so easy to teach and pull off against non grapplers.
Seth I gotta give you some props you are super humble and you show footage maybe where you didn’t do as good respect 👍👏🥋
Thank you 🙏
@@SenseiSeth 😀
@The Tide Rises ya he’s a Wonderboy type
Thats a lie he always diss taekwondo
@@craigcanaan ya but it’s a joke
Some of the effectiveness of these takedowns is greatly effected by body type. For example, the ankle pick is typically done by someone with a longer frame, a double leg is more often done by someone with a lot of explosive power and athleticism.
Did I miss arm drag? Not really a throw but it is my favorite deescalation technique. Nobody hits the floor but you have great control when you are done.
I work with sick people who are sometime confused. No throwing allowed. Arm drag is perfect.
7:55
400 missed calls from john danaher
Exactly. I was surprised he downgraded the ankle pick. Doesn't Shintaro get BJJ coaching from one of John Danaher's students?
DocTarnation I thought shintaro trained at renzos regularly with the danaher guys. Or at least did so in the past.
I don’t really like the ankle pick either. To each his own.
@@prandz420 I love it I grappling scenarios but coul easily end up with a boot to the face basic street fight
Much respect for this list. Great info from Higashi Sensei. The fact you're covering the most common (across grappling disciplines) throws/takedowns makes sense. Not going to argue with the rankings you have. I could get behind those, just thought I'd add a couple essentials that I think should be in the list. These are slightly more advanced and thus a little harder to get good at, but (due to their common usage in MMA), harai-goshi (sweeping hip), o-guruma (big wheel), and uchi-mata (inner thigh) should be considered.
Downsides of sweeping-hip or big wheel (in keeping with this topic):
* throwing from 1 leg requires greater balance and control
* exposes your back to opponent (but a little less awkwardly than an o-goshi depending on variation)
BIG upside of these (or why to add them to list):
* a failed o-goshi or koshi-guruma can often be salvaged with some sweeping or springing hip action, making these essential "continuations" of those techniques (o-guruma being tends to happen when they miss the sweeping hip)
* can be enhanced with makikomi finishes to increase impact, and maintain close control on landing (and get the 3x coolness-multiplier the sound of air escaping uke's lungs percussively)
Not to be forgotten, ashi-variant uchi-mata is a worthy addition to the list. So many headlocks and neck-and-shoulder (standing kesa-gatami style triangles) end with a torque/twist and a thigh-lift. It's almost instinctive on the thrower's part. Not usually as pretty as the other hip throws, but effective and relatively safe.
Also had to laugh when Higashi Sensei questioned why we teach o-soto-gari first! Here are the reasons I can come up with:
* "Well duh... cause that's how my sensei taught me!"
* Concussion-generator-gari is difficult to master, hard to take a fall from, and way more dangerous than kane-basami, so if a student comes back after their first class, they're a "keeper."
* It's GREAT self-defense tool, and an easy concept to understand, so if they never come back, at least they learned a life-skill.
* What would you rather teach first, hiza-guruma? That's for their second class.
-best regards
I love this video!!
A bunch of stuff I’ve never even seen, but you can be sure that I will be trying this at my next sparring sesh at BJJ!
I think you may be right on the Osoto Gari being good at teaching you the basic principles. I remember it was one of the first techniques I ever learned, and I was thereafter always mindful of (un)balance, position, posture (both physical and mental).
Yep, think you hit the nail on that one.
And also your ranking videos are always fun! Please do keep them coming!
I actually really like the wrestling takedowns I think those are my favorite types
I wrestle soon to start karate and BJJ. I think wrestling takedowns are cool.
Fair!
@Andrew Onymous you really don’t have any idea about what you are talking about do you.
@Andrew Onymous I’m not mad I’m just saying it’s called a gi and Judo and wrestling have different techniques I know because one of my friends does judo and I wrestle.
@Andrew Onymous I don’t do Greco Roman I do Folkstyle. (middle school wrestling)
I love the collaboration videos you do with other prominent TH-cam martial artists!
BTW, the "every martial art in one room" video was truly great!!!
I watched this whole video for an explanation on why the Uchimata isn’t in this discussion.
Man, uchi mata is super high % no gi... as far as throws it's my # 3 highest %. Behind harai goshi being # 1, seoi nagi being #2
It's so damn hard though, I don't know, maybe I have a mental block, although when pulled off it's beautiful.
@@carritohmc It's almost impossible against someone who's a lot taller than you
Sumi gaeshi is high percentage and plenty of grips even in no gi
Would have loved to see:
Fireman's carry (fairly easy to learn, flashy and great against both grapplers and non, plus no guillotine risk) - A tier
Duck under (not that useful against non grapplers but easy to take the back for rnc) - D tier
Arm drag (easy to get back control for suplex / rnc against a shoving opponent, low risk, easy to learn, but not flashy. More of a setup to takedown than a true takedown though) - b tier
Low single (medium diff to learn, medium risk, very effective against grapplers and non, but not flashy) - c tier
For me a single leg to some kind of trip/sweep always worked amazing. I'm usually shorter than most of my opponents. Once I pick up the leg their is so much I can do with it, usually just a step through drive puts them down but if they counter that I'm ready for a sweep, or to even slide my hands to the ankle and just sprint forward while throwing his foot above my head if I have enough room. I was never a double leg guy. I had good success with a single leg and if i didn't get the guy down I was typically still standing where as a failed double leg seems to put you in a bad spot more often. Sure you may eat a strike or two while working the single leg but if you are cautious, good and fast you will get it 75% of the time and if the guy is committing to his strikes you will have an even better chance. If you are working hard you won't give him much time to get off any good strikes anyway. I don't have the best fight/grappling record, I won a couple medals though, no traditional wrestling experience but I was able to take down university team wrestlers and some of the best pro top (3 mma) guys in Canada in lower weight classes 145 - 135 with single leg variations. I was walking around at 155-180, depends on the time, and I have used single legs to take down 260 pound juice monkey's that were beginner grapplers or UFC level MMA guys in my own weight class. It always worked for me in training, fighting, grappling and even self defense situations. In regards to Judo take downs they work very well if you don't know the guy is a judoka. My #1 training partner back in the day who was a high level mma pro started doing a lot of Judo, but I knew it and knew he was going to be trying it so I kept my hips away from him but if you don't know ya you are going down hard.
I love how you can tell he knows he’s talking to Martial Arts Royalty ❤️
As a BJJ white belt who currently doesn't know S about F, this is a fantastic video. Demos move so fast at the club and I often struggle to keep up in terms of the names, techniques, defenses, etc. This is a great break down. Thanks fellas.
Pretty cool list. Would have loved to hear your opinions on Harai Goshi (or Tai Otoshi) and Uchi Mata. Since I especially loved the latter back when I used to compete
Been a huge fan of this guy for a long time and you as well. Haven’t been this excited for a crossover since you and icy mike first linked up.
Got a couple more to come!! Thank you 🙏🙏
Single leg, head n arm throw, and front headlock were my shit in wrestling. I also love the monkey flip. Was never really good at double legs and even worse at ankle picks.
Single leg master racee. You can turn it to other things too.
As a not-grappler teaching other not grapplers to grapple, I think the outside reap is the first technique to learn party because it feels so safe. It's really easy to be in complete control of the momentum of the situation through out all of the execution. Love the video and the colab.
Fun fact: none of y'all have watched the entire video yet. It hasn't been long enough.
😂😂😂
@@SenseiSeth he's right
me rewatching it for the 7th time just to see these two talking to each other be like: try me.
I've done so multiple times, it's extremely useful for a beginner like me
My mind was blown for the double leg talk. Another point I’d wanna add is that the DLeg would be A-S tier IF YOU’RE in the same weight class. But according to your criteria a B is perfect
That’s a good point!
What an honest list without S.
Everything has counter play.
Another point for the suplex, it can break a non-grappler mentally. You're duking it out and a dude your size got behind and man handled you through the air onto your neck/back/knee base, and your opponent will put you where he wants you to end the fight-if it isn't over already.
Tomoe movie friendly?
That’s the move of CPT James T Kirk of the USS Enterprise!!!!!!
Hahaha true that
It’s good to have experience with many different takedown concepts....I think that’s one reason wrestlers are so dominant in scrambles.
Seems like the drop/snatch single should be S-tier seeing how it’s almost a universal counter to a throw.
Blast double vs double.
It’s the League of Legends ranking system for me
Hahah
Really cool to hear the discussions. Ankle pick is actually my favourite especially on bigger players. But to get over the distance a classic combo is to do Ko Uchi Gari (minor inner sweep) or even O Uchi Gari (as seen in this vid) and as they go to lift their leg out the way, stick to it and feed their ankle into your hand. I like it because a lot of off balancing can be super hard but pull them towards you to the right or left and they 99% WILL post a leg forward.
what about the arm drag
I cut it
@Andrew Onymous ikr easily S tier, looks cool, almost 0 risk and effective against all
Man, it's nostalgic to watch this list. O-soto, O-uchi, O-goshi and seoi-nage are the only moves I remember from my judo days when I was a kid. Well, my dad told me about the tomoe-nage as well, only not by that name, but rather just as 'sutemi', and told me I couldn't use it.
Our judo instructor actually called the seoi-nage the 'spierballenworp', which means something like 'muscle flex throw', because it looks like you're flexing when you use it. That's probably one of the reasons I still remember it even though it's been around two decades since I last practiced judo.
I used to wrestle in highschool but I was crap at it because I was young and had no idea what I was doing.
A drop tai otoshi is certainly among my favorites for gi training. Snap downs to ankle picks are satisfying as hell, as well as single to double leg. Also, if you’re getting guillotined on your doubles, you’re not controlling their legs as you fall. You move them across after you begin falling, in a way that would land you in side control. If you’re across their body, they won’t finish a guillotine, and you’re less likely to land on your own head.
Damn I was curious about the uchimata. How you gonna skip that one man
They really skipped uchi mata and the classic tai otoshi
That's one that surprised me. It's one of my favorites.
There's probably literally 2 examples of a short person scoring uchimata against a tall person in the Olympics. S tier coolness... but sucks if you're against someone taller
I thought they were going to sneak makikomi under koshi garuma, but nope. They left out my favorite throw.
@@ffbear8078 Yeah, those are two big ones that shouldn't have been skipped.
Military martial arts ranking tiers would be pretty sick.
Uchi Mata is one I use quite a bit because even if it fails it sets up the ankle pick or knee pick.
Back up plans are key!
it's very high risk high reward though.
One of the harder Judo throws to learn one leg up good Kuzushi. Coolness factor: epic. Risk. High. Practicality. Yeah if you can do side kicks then you can also do uchimata but everyone knows side kicks dont work. I have to go with C Tiet with uchi-mata 🤷🏻♂️
@@casparbosch5615 absolutely. Every throw/takedown has risk, some more than others. It comes down to the amount of time you have put into the takedown you are attempting. For me its decades which is more than a lot of people so the risk for me to do this throw combo is less than a white belt doing a Ouchi or Ogoshi. Most Judoka have that one throw that they really specialize in just like a lot of JiuJitsuka have that one position or submission they specialize in, mine is Uchi Mata and I can show plenty of follow ups off failed attempts, ankle pick, knee pick, kouchi gari. The key is pick a throw and then have plenty of combos off it because after about 6 months one throw attempt won't be enough it will have to be fakes and combos.
@@tusccountyjiujitsu uchi mata is a very nice throw for that for sure, specially since it can be done woth sleeve and lapel grip. I'm still working on it though, but now with corona I haven't been able to improve much... I like seoi and sode as well, since they work off of 1 grip.
I’m glad the Yoel ankle pick got a mention, just a crazy moment
When I saw the thumb nail I almost thought that was Han from Fast and Furious
Judo is so fun! There are some similar takedowns between Americanized karate styles so that makes it easier, especially if you wrestled in high school!
I’d love to take judo!
Best take down? Just ask Michael Bidping
S tier: Left Hook
founding father of American MMA and record breaking wrestling coach here...the best takedown in history is the slideby to backtrip AKA tani otoshi...I use a russian 2 on 1 to start the series, it's all about the risk-benefit analysis
Just a mediocre former high school wrestler and this + low risk ankle picks were all I did. I was extremely boring to watch, but I could beat people that were much more talented and experienced than me
Coming from a wrestler, the double leg could become an S(in my opinion) because it can be one of the hardest takedowns to defend, as well as(mentioned in the video) if you just transition from a traditional double to a blast double, the guillotine risk is almost zero
Blasting on concrete or pavement... Dude they're your knees but I feel like you haven't tried a blast takedown off a mat before?
@@BuildinWings i don't hit my knees on a blast
@@j.kino.nutrition
Then frankly you aren't "blasting" in a way that you think you are.
@@BuildinWings if it works it works
@@BuildinWings literally just look at mma blast doubles you arent hitting your knees
One key factor to the Tomo Nage's coolness is the armbar transition when the throwee is over the thrower's head
we want part 2 hehe like tai otoshi harai goshi tani otoshi sumi gaeshi firemans carry...
the ankle pick where you drop down and press your shoulder below the knee is so good... just really good, like from a scrambling position to someone trying to stand up.. it's great.. just need to be quick with it

There's a variation of the Osoto that you see in wing chun which keeps both feet on the floor, rather than the more common version. Honestly one of my favourite techniques, easy to learn, super effective against non-grapplers, keeps your balance, and one of the few takedowns where you can control your opponent's fall, making it safe for them too. Only issue is that it is not that useful against grapplers, since if they're good they can reverse it on you, which is a real shame.
Like an Osoto Otoshi, right?
No Uchi Mata? Isn’t it a turn throw where you sweep someones thigh with your thigh?
Missed a couple good ones I’m sure!
Uchi Mata is fun!
@@SenseiSeth well, there are dozens of techniques in the official syllabus. so its kind of expected to leave some good ones behind (looking at you, harai goshi)

What’s up!!
@Seth-Not Much, I’ve been watching a lot of Bruce Lee and came back! No Regerts!
Ahhh this tier is great and bring me memories. When I was first thrown in a Tomo Nage I literally was on the tatami laughing for a minute and asked my sensei to repeat it. It's like flying and so surprising I always describe it as "you're chilling standing going about whatever you're doing and suddenly you're in the floor". But my favourite will always be Ipon Seoi Nage since that was my choice for my black belt qualification (that I never took in the end cause it coincided with everything) I decided on that one taking into account my hobbit size. Can't wait to go back to Judo
As a wrestler seeing an ankle pick so low is weird.
🤷🏻♂️😂
Coolest looking takedowns
Suplex- Classic
Tomoe Nage - Also a classic.
Fireman’s Carry - basically the Burning Hammer
Double Leg - Another classic
Power Bomb - cool technique to get out of a submission
Piledriver - VERY illegal but looks cool
Backbreaker - also illegal but looks cool
Seoi Nage - Classic as Hell, the standard Judo throw.
Double legs are the easiest takedowns to defend. Like literally. This is the basic takedown in modern wrestling and we teach how to defend it like day one
Hmmmm.. I wonder how it ranks then?

Ankle pick as F tier is the one I just cannot see. It is low risk, high reward, as long as you have the person off-balance first by forcing them to take a step forward so they naturally posture backward. Even if you miss it, you are low and inside, with opportunities to either back up or strike. As for coolness, you duck down and the other guy is suddenly on their back, so that is pretty cool in my book.
Ankle pick should be at least A-tier, if not the only S-tier.
I've found that one of the best takedowns is "Your father never loved you." :p
Best comment!
OSoto is usually the second we learn where we're from, and my personal favorite.
this is the guy from tokyo drift right?
They all Look the same to me too
In my college judo club we were allowed use the wrestling practice room and one guy Tomorrowlands nagi'ed his partner into the ceiling because he didn't hold onto him. Seeing him fly up in the air like that was impressive.
Awesome video and chemistry between you both. Oss, sawade Krap 🙏
