Accidental, but Horrific Leg Injuries in Womens Judo

A look at leg injuries in womens judo. Leg locks are illegal techniques in Judo, however due to the dynamic nature of the sport, horrendous leg injuries can occur. This video looks at a number of examples of these and compares them to the types of holds popular in grappling.
One thing I've noticed is that all, but one of these injuries occured in a left vs right situation, so it has me rethinking the level of risk involved in going against an opponent with an opposite sided stance.
0:00 Intro

For more information on traditional judo leg locks, I recommend Chadi's channel and if you want to see Kani-basami injuries, there is a good video on Grappler Kingdom's channel.

#'s 2 & 3 were absolutely BRUTAL! That was hard to watch.

[@Drknow-mx1fj]

Her own dam weight caused the injury

[@thatoneguy558]

Not a fun thing to watch on the way to judo practice

[@m5a1stuart83]

Just fall dont hold the throw.

Love judo girls. Glad to see beautiful judo girls in judo newaza

[@governancesection9422]

Thanks for this. I recently broke my ankle. So I was just curious about how common it is to break an ankle.

Thank you for sharing this
It’s funny the amount of people who don’t know judo who think judo is safe
Judo is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS
and those were only knee injuries
No mention of the amount of deaths that happens yearly and people put in wheel chairs...

[@scryne5578]

What? Never seen or heard about any judo death accident in recent years

[@nomedigaasi]

The girl from Belgium, Williams, showed her empathy and compassion towards her opponent who probably damaged a few tendons or ligaments. Some people are beautiful on the outside and the inside such as Williams. Somewhere there’s a lucky guy, but he better remember she’s a black belt.

[@TIKOMIX]

I couldn’t watch anymore after the third.

[@jiugracie1088]

Entrada de queda sao mais perigosas que ne waza.

[@m5a1stuart83]

I can feel the pain by watching the video. Judo can be brutal sometime.

[@wink3319]

It is a brutal sport and very dangerous.

[@dedyhermawan5725]

👍👍

[@johnjackson4585]

Arm injuries ?

[@non-stopnewaza9266]

I'll do one on arm injuries someday.

[@TigerDemonWarrior]

Fuck😭😭😭this is the cruel side of Judo

[@pichetkullavanijaya6908]

These women will never be 100% again, and will for the rest of their lives walk with a limp and in pain. This is the result of seeking glory, winning vs. losing... Judo as a sport... Instead of Judo being a Budo, a self-defense. All Randori would be tightly controlled for learning purposes, and ego are left off the mats... When it turned into a sport with winner and loser, reckless behaviors are the results... Traditional Japanese Jiu Jitsu taught by competent and moral Senseis will never allow reckless behaviors in dojos under any circumstances.

3:51 someone was doing a smilar throw w me in judo before the master could stop it I punched the guy jumped off and got into a fist fight 😂I was banned then but I saved my leg but not my goggles I was only a white belt

[@trinflush9364]

I mean, considering that the clip you pointed to was a ground transition, not a throw and was an accident due to kind of the bottom person acting wrong, yeah, you are in all accounts the asshole and should be banned.

[@rileyjohnporter4274]

They aren't similar if you don't understand leg locks please don't compare them to anything especially standing injuries.

[@Mimi-vn6xi]

Don't get the purpose of this kind of videos...
