People do that in Judo aswell (even though it serves no real purpose at times). When that happens, Judoka tend to thrust themselves up (keeping grip of course), this means that the guy leaning down will get forced upwards and temporarily off-balance, leaving him wide open for takedowns.
My previous comment was made prior to March of 2013 when the rules were updated again. So, you are correct, no leg grabs are allowed unless both opponents have transitioned to Newaza.
this is so helpful Thanks ! i needed some of these tecniques where i train most of the guys have that defensive stiff arm thing so this seems like it will be really effective, thank you
There is a lot of miss-information going around about leg grabs in Judo. You are allowed to grab your opponents leg if: 1. It is a secondary attack (like in this video where he attacks with his foot and brings the foot to his hand, or if you go from Ippon Seoinage immediately into kata garuma for example) 2. You are defending an attack (opponent comes in for Harai Goshi and you counter with te garuma) 3. Your opponent uses a Russian style back grip over your opposite shoulder Otherwise you can't
Will these techniques work if both people have the same foot forward? Eg. both with the left foot forward. In this example Jimmy Pedro has his left foot forward and his opponent the right.
If they are stiff its easy to force them to walk just by walking backwards. If they are walking, one foot must end up in front of the other and you can force your opponent to swap. For this reason yes of course you can do it with your opponents other foot forward but you would need to switch your grip and your stance.
assuming he's only done a few throws, and not been training all day - which he probably has considering he was filming with BJJweekly. Also, if he wasn't breathing heavy you could assume he wasn't warmed up properly and therefore susceptible to injuries. Plus, he's mic'd up from his gi, so his breathing will sound heavier compared to most demo videos.
The better you are at doing throws, the less you care about what they're called. I can't even count the number of Japanese elite competitors who do picture perfect Hane Goshi and call it Uchi Mata.
great video. So many bjj guys are stiff on the feet. It makes takedowns very difficult. they get grips, bend at the waist, and all they do top engage is tug on the lapel. not all bjj guys of course.
+uvu157 It's a hard habit to break. I had been doing bjj for over 8 years when I first started crosstraining in judo. I didn't realize how stiff I was until I started moving and trading throws with the judo guys. They kept having to remind me to relax. On the ground I was relaxed as can be. I guess it's all due to being nervous in a different aspect of fighting. The throws are pretty uncomfortable in the beginning so you tense up a lot.
Same here. especially when Judocas were doing uchikomis and throw at the end I used to stiff up. Very helpful to be comfortable on the feet, as all fights start on the feet.
Does judo and BJJ frown upon wrestling takedowns? Obviously for MMA wrestling takedowns are primo, but do they set you up for failure with BJJ in terms of how you land? If so, why?
Ko soto gari. Gake throws are typically a block and drive uke over. This is a gari reaping motion where you sweep the foot away. De ashi is similar action to gari but the direction is different.
Direction doesn't make a throw. Gari refers to a mechanic where you reap the supporting foot. De Ashi Harai it's a sweep to a foot whose weight is being transitioned (that's about to receive weight or that's about to let go) In this case it's a de ashi harai. You can see in the Kodokan videos that it can be used in directions different than sideways
@waldomarek these particular gentleman i beleive are judoka... but yeah jujitsu /judo is that sort of game... same as akido but they are all from the same tree/familly i guess
sweeps and trips were my best friend in school wrestling. novice and intermediate competitors never see it coming.
Very well executed by skilled practitioners. It is a blessing on my eyes to see Judo throws executed properly.
JIMMY PEDRO IS AWESOME!! THIS TECHNIQUE ROCKS/
He makes it look so much easier than it really is. Breaking their balance is the real key.
Jimmy you're a genius!!
Judo has also changed the rules as of late to prevent leg attacks (like a single or double leg). Which kinda blows.
Hi Jimmy, we enjoyed your masterclass in Fort Lauderdale this year and it was fantastic! Thanks a lot!
thanks for the details!! really changed my bjj standup game!
I loved this tecnique.... I start apply and really works very well... tks guys!
This is a truly great video, top stuff

Does jimmy Pedro have a website with any more video instructionals?
Throw starting at 1:32 is beautiful.
JIMMY PEDRO, IS THE MAN. JUDO #1...BABY !!! 😎

i know who you are and the level you at at but is that not gake (hook) not gari (reap)??

cara, muito bom mesmo, ronaldo jacarè usa muito a segunda

I have limited judo experience as I am a bjj player. Is that first throw considered De ashi barai or ko soto gake?
Ko soto gari.

de ashi barai as the weight is on the other leg
Ko Soto Gari
Nice
@waldomarek these particular gentleman i beleive are judoka... but yeah jujitsu /judo is that sort of game... same as akido but they are all from the same tree/familly i guess
I will Try that in judo
Traducir!!!... Español por fa...
Wrestling takedowns are fine they can just be harder with the gi on
No more ankle picks allowed. :-(
Are you serious , that might be good news for me in bjj competition
In judo, but good to go in BJJ comps or at the gym.
i wish i had a partner with ukemi that good
It appears that 2 people got foot swept
points 1, 2, & 3 are no longer allowed in judo!
Just because he’s was a successful AMERICAN judo competitor doesn’t mean everybody in the world should know he is.
World champion
The art of Ashi waza
good luck to Kayla in MMA
go fight him then re think your comment!
He's breathing quite heavy after only a few throws....He needs to work more on his cardio..otherwise great techniques...thanks for posting...!!
He won World champion, and two Olympic medals. Microphone is close.
Too easy! I dont look that good in my dreams.
