Self-defense using Judo

- Self-defense using Judo. I make a few assumptions here. Self-defense is not as simple as this. Also, if the person that is attacking you is skilled, then it things change.
Judo is a self-improvement tool! That being said, here are some self defense tips and ideas:
1. Always keep your hands up.
2. Assume that most people are right-handed. You can usually tell what side they are dominant to based on which leg they are leading with.
Part one: Circle to their weak side and expect a looping hand. Close distance and pin their dominant hand with an overhook and use your dominant hand to collar tie. Turn throw time! Or o uchi, de ashi, and a huge ko soto gake.
Part two: Fake double leg with a level change to avoid strikes. Climb up the body and take the back. From here, there are many options. Te guruma, or a high crotch is one.
Remember, as a grappler the goal is to close the distance before getting hit in the face.My youtube membership

“Judo is a study of techniques with which you may kill if you wish to kill, injure if you wish to injure, subdue if you wish to subdue, and, when attacked, defend yourself.”
- Kano Jigoro
You'd be surprised how many people have never picked up this book. Judo is mental education as well as physical education.
@@KingOfSwords720which book?
@@BeepBoop2221 it's called "Mind over muscle" writings from the founder of Judo by Jigoro Kano
Step 1, grow shoulder length hair
Step 2. Train until all your hair falls out.
literally not z shut up bitch
@literally not z "That would be your MOTHER"
@literally not z no , i just said
"THAT WOULD BE YOUR MOTHER"
@literally not z cuz its truu
I like the different ways you're showing judo. Gi, no-gi, self-defense, strategy, etc.Thank you a lot sir!
This is my favorite channel, no long and vague intros, juts pure teaching
Thank you ;-)
"Judo is a sport first..."
Yeah, that just means there's a panel of judges holding up score cards as he's slamming me into the ground.
@literally not z hahaha
Judo is very effective on the street. I've seen it used. And these guys handle bigger opponents with ease. They may not hit, but you can get really damaged by hitting pavement or even just fighting a throw. All these guys that talk shit about Judo and Aikido are idiots. 85% of it is identical to BJJ, which those same shit talkers claim is the end all be all. In fact, Brazilian Jujitsu looks more like Judo than it does traditional Jujitsu.
@@PalmettoNDNOh I wasn't disputing whether or not it's effective on the street. I was just making a joke about him saying that it's a sport first. That being that despite it being a sport, he could still use it to win the fight and because sports having scoring points, there would be judges to evaluate us.
I hope that clears everything up.
@Alkhazred1 the trillionth delusional moron who actually thinks you'll be able to throw someone using judo who outweighs you by ~50lbs in a street fight
@Alkhazred1 did it for a month, during a randori couldn't throw a guy ~50lbs heavier than me even though we were both new. he threw me 2wice. it was then i realized judo is weight dependent. wound up quitting. i like judo but for street self defense i feel bjj evens the playing field better than judo because with bjj it matters LESS how much your attacker weighs
I've seen 2 seperate incidents where a drunk person has attacked someone who knew Judo. One was 2 against one and was spectacular, with the 2 drunks lying on the floor after brutal throws, and one when a teenager stopped a drunk grown man from randomly attcking people by throwing him beautifully but safely and held him in a wrist lock until the police turned up. Judo works. And for people who say "yeah but what if the person was trained in XYZ?", people who are trained in fighting do not start or go looking for trouble, so a well trained Judoka and a well trained MMA fighter wouldn't ever get in that siuation. Self defence is self defence, looking to kick someones ass is different.
You will just get shot dude. Stop making this fake shit up in your head..and Shintaro is scared as fuck of combat.
Not from where I'm from, people train mma in a smallish town near where I grew up and they would purposely look for fights in bars. Granted a couple of these assholes did wind up with serious charges for knocking people out and letting their heads bounce off the concrete. People are dumb and sometimes trainers are also dumb.
My uncle's seemingly self-taught and he looks for fights and beats people.
@@proletariennenaturiste Difference between being self-taught and learning from any respectable martial arts establishment is discipline is mandatory in the latter, optional in the former.
yeah to be honest judo seems almost like ideal for self def because it focuses on very quick takedowns, but not necessarily going to the ground yourself. and the vast majority of people would not have any takedown def against judo and even if perhaps they did would they expect some random person to be a judoka? probably not.
like bjj can work in a street fight too of course but so much of bjj is based on being on your back on the ground, and prolonged fighting. both of which you want to avoid in a street fight. that being said ofc things can end up gnarly and you end up yourself at the bottom and then you need to know how to get out or submit the enemy from that position also.
I recently came across the book "Verbal Judo" by George J. Thompson PhD, he was an English Professor turned police officer who also had Black Belts in Judo and Taekwondo. His book is about de-escalating conflict situations verbally so you don't have to fight. As Sun Tzu said in "The Art of War" - "Better than a hundred victories in battle is to subdue the enemy without fighting."
I will read it
@@francescofelici5003
There are also some clips on Verbal Aikido here on TH-cam if you do a search. Another interesting thing is if you Google "LEAPS Communication Model" which is also about de-escalating conflict situations.
@@mjseltzer22 I respect paramedics. It is a tough job and they have to take a lot of cr*p from lots of folks all the time. I can imagine something like the "Verbal Judo" book would come in really useful.
yeah thats why china is fucking poor countries up with debts with ridiculous interest more of an economic warfare
@@deaded7088 They do seem to be masters of the art of strategy and they certainly play the long game. I think they probably think decades ahead. Maybe their leaders all play Go. Chess is like a kiddies game compared to Go. The GW Bush White House said that they only ever concern themselves with things which are going to happen in the next 3 months. The current POTUS probably does not think further ahead than the next Tweet, with all due respect, not that I have anything against the man, I just think there could probably be better leaders.
I studied/practiced Judo in High School/College, about 4 years all together. I once executed a flawless Hari Goshi in a regional tournament and defeated a much larger opponent. But I stopped at that point with my brown belt and never had time or opportunity to advance.
A big regret!
These videos are bringing me back.
That must have felt so good!! I hope you have the chance to come back and get that black belt finally :-)
Harai goshi has been my favorite technique since the time I was in high school and had to stop practicing judo but had to stop when I entered college. However, I got back to it last year after 32 years, so it's never too late to start over!!!
I’m a simple man, I see Shintaro I click and like
Facts
haha thanks!
I love seeing judo focusing on self defense. I teach Japanese Jujutsu and training techniques from both grabs and strikes is crucial. Closing the distance is something that is overlooked in sport as well. Great work!
Let's call this chapter 1. In a series. That you'll do. Starting today 🤗
Not-so-subtle threatening
@@bruhbruh4014 Please. It's Judo. What's he going to do? Smile and forgive me?
I second this.
@literally not z **sits down and drags ass across the floor**
@@malva9092 💀 hwatttt
That harai goshi like throw in the beginning was just magic.
It is surprising how easy it is to pick someone when you negate their center of gravity.
bob nice Surprising to you yes, but if you do a quick summary of your potential opponent it is quite obvious that the instructor could easily pick up a small vehicle.
I should start doing that to chicks
That double leg takedown entry is just so smooth...
But without guarding the head to protect from incoming knee strikes.
@@angelsjoker8190 Yeah, but I feel like that, along with the high possibility of guillotines, is just one of the costs associated with a double-leg. Even Chael Sonnen who has used his double leg in the UFC numerous times couldn't avoid eating a bunch of knees against Lyota Machida. That being said, I've always wondered if there was a better way, as I've spent too much money on dental work already haha
@@sway71 I don't say morote gari/ double leg TD is a bad technique. On the contrary, I think on the street, it's a good high percentage and devastating technique. Just don't drop your guard while shooting in. You can shoot in and keep your hands in a solid triangular frame in front of you to protect your head.
Modern Judokas and wrestlers just don't guard their head, because they're not used to getting kneed when shooting in. And those bad habbits are hard to unlearn as you can see even with high profile fighters like Sonnen or Askren. That is, because mostly they succeed anyways without getting kneed. It's hard to time the knee, but it's still a risk that you can minimize by guarding your head better.
@@angelsjoker8190 just a question... how can you go in and keep the guard up, but reach around at the same time? i guess the way to shoot a morote gari without getting kneed or guillotined is by doing it more upstraight, with chest contact than usual. because guarding with the hands would make the movements slower. but thats just my guess and im a novice.
@@vittocrazi Have your hands in front of you building a triangle with the elbows slightly more to the side than with the classical boxer's double guard (more like you see from classical Muay Thai fighters). Train with a heavy bag (go very slow at first and progressively get faster when you've internalized the movement) to relax your elbows the moment your hands touch your opponent's body so your forearms can rotate around his body.
I’m a new subscriber! You can tell this guy is a master just by how graceful his throws are. Great stuff!
I'm new to Judo but during my research I've seen plenty of indications that it'd translate well to self defense and this is yet another great example. Loving this, man, thanks!
Seeing you coming up with different scenarios in order to use Judo in an effective way is awesome content....keep them coming brother.
Great video and excellent advice.
In deed using Judo (or most type of wrestling) on the street is simple if you’re good at your sport :
1. Don’t get into a street fight.
2. If you do, close the distance immediately. Once you’re in the clinch/wrestling range, most people have no idea what to do and you basically won.
3. Throw him.
But I think it should be added that you shouldn’t follow the guy you throw on the ground (although it is what most people do in Judo competition), and for two reasons.
By staying standing, you keep your mobility, which means you’re ready to run away as soon you’ve thrown the guy or to turn around and face another opponent.
Secondly, you simply don’t need to. Most judo throws are so violent that it will largely suffice to KO or at least stop the guy from fighting/wanting to fight for a moment. Imagine getting throwed by Seoi Nage or Osoto gari on the pavement. That hurts, and you don’t need to choke the guy out to finish him.
Throwing someone on cement is more than enough to KO. It could potentially kill the guy.
@@rayvincyful1 Yeah potentially it could. Hope that doesn't happen though.
the reason why people things it's necessary to follow with ne wasa is because of the Gracie family. but they don't really understand the purpose of Kodokan Judo. Even competition is prominent in our modern days, Kodokan Judo was created for self defense and the first disciples of Master Kano were tough guys and used to test their techniques in brutal street fights.
Good principle to follow the throw up in randori and in self defence. They're not just gonna get thrown and call it a day. This guy just tried to haymaker you etc.
It has to be a death/life situation by the way, you could kill a guy by throwing him against the pavement, as Julien mentions in point 2 ("Once you’re in the clinch/wrestling range, most people have no idea what to do") the same applies for knowing how to fall, it's not like people who have been training wrestling/judo/bjj for years and instintively prepares to absorb the impact if they get thrown.
the guy in the white outfit looks like the kind of guy you'd see in a fighting anime like Baki or Kengan Ashura lol
Commander Shepard ah, a man of netflix and culture
Hinomaru Sumo definitely
@@munkhtulgabattogtokh1602 YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! All he has to do is dye the hair and that's him lmao!!
hahaha throwing enemies like 10 ft in the ground
yeah
Best channel on advice for Judo.
Simple and sweet.
Thank God. I found this video. I did kodokan judo for 5 years and made my way to brown belt, and the whole time I was in it I thought: how the hell is this gonna protect me in the street?! And my sensei actually told me, “it won’t. If someone wants to mug you, you give them what they want and you run.” And I just think that’s the most audacious load of shit ever. I’m not giving my possessions and sure not giving up my life. So thank you for making this video!
You're sensei is right. Best not to fight but if it does get to that point then it's useful to know these techniques.
You got a brown belt in 5 years? Wtf kinda gym was that
Not to talk about sexual assault/rape like giving up your possessions isn't going to help.
Love what you're showing/doing! Keep up the good work!
Thank you! Please continue more Judo for self defense!!
1:40 that crouch woulda make a badass thumbnail
What a legend no bullshit, few bjj terms thrown in to cross train. But still 100% Judo . New favourite channel
So efficient and honourable! Beautiful to see, thank you!
Subscribed for the slam that you guys laughed over. Love the energy and information.
"Hence to fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting."

I’ve been almost 13 years without training, thanks for your videos, my memories are coming back.
Come on Juan, get back on the tatami.
Higashi San- you are very straight to the point. Highly admirable and full of respect to you sir.
I really love the double leg entry into the clinch... please do more judo for self defense
This is a fantastic channel. Keep up the great work
I been a bouncer for 6 years. Ima puple belt in bjj. So I'm familiar with alot of judo throws. I can't say how many times judo throws saved my life
i thought in bjj they dont teach stand up
Great video! I hope you can make more videos of self defense in Judo!
NICE, thank you so much.
I personally think ‘control both arm -then sweep - knee on belly/soccer kick’ is pretty universal in a self-defense situation coz I can make sure the person I’m encountering doesn’t have any spare hand to pull out a weapon with, and I can see everything around me.
Your vids are pure absolute genius
So many techniques & different ways in which to apply them
Thank you so much for sharing such invaluable knowledge
🙏
You are very welcome.
🥋 love that double leg to back take move!
As a child I was taught non stop how to break my fall and it has been invaluable while I’ve been figure skating:-)
Omg so straight to the point and absolutely no bullshit. You are a TH-cam god bro thanks for the vid great stuff keep it up 💯💯💯💯✨✨✨ you're also in great shape man keep doing whatchu do
Love from Kerala, India. Your videos are to the point and really well explained. You're the reason for me to appreciate judo
Excellent work!
Superb explanation. All judo class should have this explained outright
Gonna go to my first judo lesson tomorrow. Did jiu-jitsu for 5 years before. The elegance of which you are doing these throws seemingly effortless makes me even more excited to learn this sport.
Have fun!!!
@@Shigashi84 Thanks. Had a lot of fun. My ukemi was still intact after a lot of years. But I realized how much I had been neglecting my footwork. Going to see if I can practice some at home before the randori session on friday. Thanks again for a great video.
Do more on this! It's very cool
Appreciate your courses
Shintaro. I'm a new Judoka and I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your videos. Please keep them coming!
You are very welcome!! Thanks for watching 😁
Great stuff as always.
This is very effective and he also tells how to anticipate attacks and how to execute well.
loved this! Can you do videos on tips for when your arms should be stiff or when they should be loose (including grip tightness) & also where your eyes should be looking all the time (looking at their legs or upper body?)
Judo is a good fight sport and can be applied in the street but you’ll need also good striking. I find combining judo with boxing is the way to go for self defense on the street.😎
Awesome as usual Sensei
Good video 👍,found your channel from sensei Seth lol,I’m a kickboxer but done judo for a while loved it,
Here we go. That’s what I’m talking about!! Thank you so much for this, I will show this to my security guards at the bar. Thank you Shintaro
thanks for sharing the knowledge
Thank you Sensei. A valuable lesson, especially for those who don't train in anything, but know so much from online games ;-)
What I like about his videos is that he shows you assorted techniques. Not to many people do that.
Awesome video! Please make more of these
Simple and effective. Thank you Sensei.
very practical and descriptive! I really like judo. thanks
Judo is just amazing to me, I love it. I tried golden gloves back in the military, I was OK, but man, I figured I needed my squash in my later years. Karate is really good, or can be, not so much the way it is practiced today in most places. But Judo, you cant do better for a sport that is fun, has mostly cool people, keeps you in shape, and is good for self defense. BJJ was not a thing when I was young, I imagine that I'd have liked that too. Sensei Higashi thanks for your very good content, I'm gonna get me some of your gear to support your channel!
Te Guruma is a pretty good options, jusdo is very useful in self defense but some people just don´t have imagination. Thank´s for the video.
Excellent stuff.
Awesome videos! Keep it up
you've wrestled before for sure! that wrestling style shot gave it away! beautiful mixture of sports! i wish judo was also done no-gi
Starting Judo this Saturday. I'm so excited! Big ups to your for the videos. That way I don't feel super dumb going in, lol.
How's your judo now??
As a martial artist, I love this video. The execution is great and very feasible for many regardless of size. You packed a lot into a short video.
Thank you
This is a great video man!!! Definitely amazing channel. But I have a question since I don't have any judo dojos in my area and there's literally no place where I can train judo, can I at least learn basic judo techniques just from watching videos? My goal is only to learn 5-8 basic techniques and execute them correctly, is it possible to achieve this goal if I watch tutorials and try them with a partner? Thanks for the great video.
Thank you so much for sharing!
This is gold. Thanks a lot 😍
Woul, excelente ! Nunca tinha visto um vídeo como esse.
Thanks for the video, Shintaro. When I learned judo as a teenager I never thought about using judo in a no-gi situation and fortunately never had to use judo to defend myself.The only thing I need judo lacks is defense when people grab our wrists, arms and try to choke us from behind and disarming like in aikido. これからも宜しくお願いします。
Good Job sensei..I have learned a lot from you
For me... Judo is a tool I use when I wish to take the fight to the ground in addition to shooting-in. It's also great for getting a quick take down when ur locked up. I think people should learn to fight on thier feet, on the ground, and judo for take downs. Now I'm teaching my nephew and like using ur videos for visual aids...
Thanks for the great techniques without the gi. I wish that I had known some of this when I was young enough to play Judo or had to defend myself from thugs.
This is great! Thank you very much!
More on this please!!!
Very practical art
That was excellent!!!
You make it look so easy.
Thank you for posting this video! Even an untalented orange belt like me can execute most of these techniques. Thank you!
Kano Jigoro the founder stated Judo is an art for self defense. He said it's an art with which one can pin, submit, or even kill if one needs. He later made it an Olympic sport but originally Judo was and is an art of self defense.
"Danger zone!" *top gun music starts playing in my head*
I was enrolled in judo at 10 years of age and practiced for 6 years.This was in the early 70s. Not one word was ever mentioned on using it for self defense,nor were we given any ideas or techniques to block punches.I must add that most all of the students were enrolled by their parents because of bullying at school.It served me well for self defense but I had to piece it together my self.
That was awesome!
Please, go on and on, sensei. I love talking about this stuff. This is also super applicable to BJJ and GJJ. I'm going to share this with my BJJ group.
What's gjj
@@jordyvandenbempt2409 gi judo jujitsu? haha
@@Shigashi84 I think GJJ is an acronym for Gracie Jujitsu... internal politics stuff regarding the Gracie family because one faction wants to take BJJ in a more sport oriented direction; the other wants to maintain a semblance of "traditional" martial arts, despite the entire thing being nothing more than newaza focused Judo marketed by the Gracie's.
@@jordyvandenbempt2409 I'm referring to Gracie Jiu Jitsu, yes. My distinction was because of the differences in curriculum, not because of politics. That being said, Shintaro Higashi is a great authority on many forms of grappling and anyone, regardless of background, could learn a lot from him and his father (or Eugene or Peter or Hien) at Kokushi Budo Institute. All of them taught me a lot and I'm grateful for the time I was able to spend with them.
@@woozee4328 but gracie jiu jitsu is bjj innit?
You popped up in my recommendations over the summer and I instantly subscribed and started drilling solo with a heavy bag . I have never done Judo but I've wrestled and have done BJJ my whole life . Do you have a wrestling background as well ?
Yes, he does. He's a pretty accomplished wrestler. You can look up Shintaro Higashi and read more in depth.
Judo is the most complex and complete style of wrestling there is.
Yep, wrestled in college. It was so much fun. Glad You are enjoying my videos ;-)
@@mrv1271 really? Wow.
@@mrv1271 bro... watch some D1 folkstyle wrestling on youtube. then make that type of claim. they're the ultimate sprawl grapplers, so freakn entertaining. check out the wrestler desanto for his very 'sprawly' style. also, wrestling has some of the same takedowns...
Simple and clear!
Nice and simple
Very good !!!!
Im so excited my first Judo class is today
sweet man, good luck bro
i gotta get on that too haha
Nice self defense judo application
New sub. Our dojo actually trains Kajukenbo, which...as you may know, contains Judo as part of the curriculum, and is ALL about self defense. So this is very interesting to see, as Judo can, in some cases, be an instant fight stopper. Though, woe to the attacker on the ground with a shattered rib cage. So with that - a side note: I personally encourage everyone to save the "higher momentum" throws/takedowns(like Uchi Mata, Seoi Nagi, etc.) for those you are sure have an obvious intent to do great harm to you or a loved one. A wee punk just running his mouth with baby shoves or punches can get a simple "supported" hip throw as a warning. You can always then tell them you have more up your sleeve if needed😉
I would rather give 3 free punches to my face then be propelled over someone's shoulder to the concrete. Ouch!😬
Welcome :-)
That was a good one! thanks a lot.
Very useful video, thanks. I have a question about opponent's guard and how to determine whether he is left or right. In judo, if you are right handed you will have your right leg forward. In the video, he has his left leg forward and attacks with right arm. I wanted to ask if it's a thing about real fight scenario, do people tend to come forward with the opposite leg while preparing the attack?
Deadly moves!💪✊🥋
I think sometimes we forget that most street fights happen on , guess what, the street. Or the sidewalk or some other hard surface. And the vast majority of people have no idea how to handle falls and takedowns on a mat, let alone concrete. Fundamentals like this will serve anybody very well. But the flip side(no pun intended) is you can't expect them to go with the throw. Untrained people are super stiff and spazzy and tend to get out of things in the strangest ways that trained people don't often train for. We tend to train with our peers .
Good ideas for drills.
excellent job, men .
I used to do judo and always thought it was fairly useless in a fight as you'd get hit long before you were close to throw but now I realize with some adjustments it can be very effective for self-defense. Thank you for your clear teaching. Arigato gozaimasu.
It is useless. You will get clapped (Shot to death) , or stabbed...or jumped. In NYC people are getting pushed into trains and Shintaro isnt a true New Yorker. They are wealthy boys.
@@Qunyc1985if we're bringing weapons well yes of course it's useless, id like to see a boxer vs someone with a gun.
Great tips. But what if I'm of smaller statute and don't have the size and strength to lift or throw? Should I just work on strength training first?
great video!
