Travis, I am 58, Judo black belt, and I assure you that your instructional videos display the best combination of thorough detail and down-to-earth moves that I still can execute. Well done, keep up the outstanding work!
I’m 50 and still play Kata Guruma. I just sit through on each attack and dump over the hip. Gone are the days of major standing Kata Guruma although still in my tool kit
Great versions, Travis. I am a 5' 5 1/2" recreational judoka and I have been super pussed at the IJF removal of the Kata Guruma and their suspect reasoning for it. Of all the Judo moves I excelled it, it was by far the greatest equalizer against larger, heavier and stronger opponents and it was sebitrseily and unfairly taken away. It literally took me years to develop the Yoko Guruma as a replacement neutralizer move but to this day I still practice the Kata Guruma.
@Jay Lee Totally with you on this as the drop Ippon Seoi Nage is pretty much my toku waza along with the Yoko Guruma at the moment. 🙂 The Kata Guruma used to be it. One thing I do have to say though is that disallowing the move did force me to explore others so it wasn't all bad. 🙂
Now that is the judo principle of using uki”s off-balance, no unfair grabbing same side with both hands which I see a lot of on other judo videos, really like the way you make uki move and fit in on a throw!!
Thanks again Travis! I like watching these videos because even if I don't use these techniques your videos help me learn what to look out for in order to prevent my partner or opponent from scoring on me.
I love number 3 as it looks like it may work when they sense that I'm going for my favourite sumi gaeshi and posture back up and turn into me. I never thought about using sumi gaeshi in combo with kata guruma. It was always sumi, uchi mata, kouchi, ouchi mix for me. Great video like always!
@Jay Lee I stopped training judo about the same time when they completely banned leg grabs and concentrated more on bjj as it seemed more open-minded and reminded me old time judo days when all the grip breaks were allowed and more newaza time allowed. I still love judo as an art but hate direction where it's going as a sport.
I agree from the spectator point of view and to popularise the sport the new rules are better but I find them to limiting for the practitioner. I don't like that instead of looking for technical solutions to the problem they trying to fight it by more regulations. This kills players creativity and forces him to be more physical which again is more fun to watch for a random guy on the TV. I think jiu jitsu will change in the coming years as more and more guys realize they suck on their feet and try work on that. It just sucks that IJF stops high level guys you from competing in both judo and bjj and limits the way athletes can make their living. Travis is a prime example of that.
Awesome, As regards fireman 1-2-3 the set up are cool , could you demonstrate some variation with those entries (1-2-3) which would be legal under the current rules of judo ( what to do with the left hand instead of grapping the legs). Thanks in adavance.
You can't really apply them to modern judo they do require the legs to be grabbed. But there are other versions that you can do they just aren't as strong.
Okay this is my favorite old school technique. So yes please more in-depth videos on this topic. In fact I would love for there to be add Judo fanatics' just on this technique
Great stuff! On the last variation, is it legal to touch the leg with the back of your arm or push the arm through the leg as shown? Looks similar to the way Saeid Mollaei does kata guruma
@@TravisStevensgrappling Yes, very important factor. About 40 KG heavier. Lets take the Ogawa vs Koga example ( th-cam.com/video/5_BYs7zFUOg/w-d-xo.html ). What techniques could Koga could have used to be more effective? My estimate is Ogawa is 115 KG and Koga roughly 75KG.
With the last judo-legal one how do you stop guy's right arm from creating separation and preventing you from getting underneath him? Is it just about throwing all your body weight against it or is there more into it?
A lot of it has to do with timing. You really need to disguise the throw in order to get it to work. You don't see it often on the circuit but when you do it looks amazing.
@@TravisStevensgrappling would that 5th variation be the only one considered legal, or, would even that one be deemed illegal in the new rules by some strict judges/refs as your outside arm moves upwards against their legs helping sweep them over? Sucks that IJF rule changes have all but killed one of my fav throws... the single-arm Kata Guruma variations are ok if you're ever doing a follow-up to this one, but seem difficult to get in competition, although seems to work decently for me in randori just haven't personally, or seen many in the high-level competitions yet.
0:31 RvL
1:17 cross grip
2:09 RvL back collar (chop chop)
3:48 double sleeve

Yeah I agree and Yoko Garuma just isn't as strong of a through when compared to a classic Kata Gaurma!

Was waiting for this , excellent 🙂🥋👍
Glad I got it out for you then! 😀
Awesome content. The cross grip one can also be IJF legal if you keep hold of sleeve instead of grabbing leg.
Correct but it would be a lot less effective.
Thanks IJF for destroying Judo!
HAHAHAHA LMAO
That was very nice overview. I think I liked the fireman No5 the most
Hmmm wonder if that last one, double wrists grip would work in wrestling, nice detail on that shoulder trap
Travis is poetry in motion in Judo.
version five looks very perspective! thank you for that video sir osssss 🖤🥋
Thanks again Travis! I like watching these videos because even if I don't use these techniques your videos help me learn what to look out for in order to prevent my partner or opponent from scoring on me.
You're a true student of the game!!!!
that double sleeve is just NASTY! thank you I wish judo was bigger where I live. Most the time its only me and the professor.
Kata Garuma is a go to technique and would love to see 4 and 5 in detail.
I'll try to get that shot for next week!
gUruma !!!
Nice video. You could you go more in depth in the 4th and 5th throws you showed. I wanna get better at those two.
I love this Throw and I agree, I would love to see 4 and 5 in detail.
Noted!
Thank you Travis! Which one of these do you recommend against a heavier stronger opponent with a bent stance?
From the collar because it allows you to get the weight past you!
Thank you Travis, great material. Any chance you could explain setups/entries for BJJ?
I love number 3 as it looks like it may work when they sense that I'm going for my favourite sumi gaeshi and posture back up and turn into me. I never thought about using sumi gaeshi in combo with kata guruma. It was always sumi, uchi mata, kouchi, ouchi mix for me. Great video like always!

Nice new logo! Hardcore🤙🤙🤙
Glad you like it Papadakis!
Awesome.!
Awesome!
Thanks!
Tnx
Excelent 👏👏👏
Do you worry a about your opponent stiff arming you when you go for kata guruma or it isn‘t a big concern for this throw in particulary?
Okay this is my favorite old school technique. So yes please more in-depth videos on this topic. In fact I would love for there to be add Judo fanatics' just on this technique
I might have to get on that then!
Thank you Travis! You don't have idea how you helped me... Lol
Osssss👊
Great stuff! On the last variation, is it legal to touch the leg with the back of your arm or push the arm through the leg as shown? Looks similar to the way Saeid Mollaei does kata guruma
Yes you are allowed to because you have a grip on the gi above the belt.
Thanks!
I like this channel, can you do a video on how to fight with bigger and heavier opponents?
How much bigger?
@@TravisStevensgrappling
Yes, very important factor. About 40 KG heavier.
Lets take the Ogawa vs Koga example ( th-cam.com/video/5_BYs7zFUOg/w-d-xo.html ). What techniques could Koga could have used to be more effective?
My estimate is Ogawa is 115 KG and Koga roughly 75KG.
Which one of these are legal for Judo with no leg grabs?
Full perfect 💪💪💪
Top 5 !
Thanks ...
You're welcome Perikin!

you cant grab the legs in judo anymore
Yep!

A of valde i foundation.
Is Fireman's #4 a Yoko otoshi? Or is that something different?
Almost but they are a little different.
🔥🔥🔥
Slick
Hey brother, which ones aren't legal?
For judo? The ones where you actually hug the leg.
nº 1 IJF legal???
Hi
Only chance I ever get to do kata garuma is nage no kata.
Man you really missed out on some fun judo! I miss the good old days!
gUruma !!!
Holy shit, number 4 I'm way too stupid for this.
Did he get his black belt yet?
