I personlay dont know but that is kinda dumb how you said that you could beat wrestlers up..what if if its a good wrestler or a bad wrestler.It al depends on the person for every style.
well someone told me judo grappling stuff is alot better fr submission figting then wrestling is. nad it would be alot easier to beat a wrestler. plus the guys at school arent that good...and i dont literally mean beat htem up i mean like just grapple a little.
If you're after submissions, i think sambo is quite good
Nothing is to be feared, only understood....
Judo? Wrestling will help you out alot for the takedowns. But you will be able to learn all the wrestling takedowns at a BJJ school. Double legs, single legs. Scoop and dump on them on their head. You can learn the defenses against being dumped on your head.
Generally, judo guys have poor ground fighting skills.
Judo is amazing. I take Judo and it is amazing. It builds a good grip in your hands and arm strength. Not to mention an upper body strength. You will learn to throw and boy do you throw!
You will learn how to break falls, do A LOT of submission (not joint locks) and learning to take your opponenet to the ground. It builds up good reflexes, coordination and timing...excellent timing!
I recommand everyone to take Judo.
hey, i have an idea. why dont you take your japanese ma question to a JMA forum and stop wasting my time. o.k. honey.
thanks
...you just called someone honey...
any by the way the TITLE of the post was JUDO....if you dont know thats japanese do some research other wise, you wasted your own time clickin on it...thats really rude and ignorant. please refrain from replying to this thread.
Blow it out your a$$, jutsow. This is an open forum and anybody can ask any question they want.

Frosh judo is a good complement to aikido although the training might be a little differnt aikido is more spiritual but the training is not that far differnt.. i say go for it.. infact mixen them would be a very good way to fight...
i quess that why its called KUNG FU online then huh. blow it out your own ass. or you could have your boy friend do it for you.
i would expect this from someone that studies ****okan.
Temper temper.The kid is confused about wich ma to take.Try and help, not hurt.
I almost forgot, find a flight of stairs and throw yourself down them.Free speech is a inalienable right.
Jutsow,don't be an idiot.This may be the kung fu forum but it's well known that all martial artists are welcome here.
Judo has some good takedowns and also builds excellent standing balance.From the way that it is taught or practiced it generally lacks great ground fighting skills.I've grappled a few judoka even a black belt and I generally dominated them quite easily.
I'm going to start Judo soon (maybe this week). I'm excited, I had some limited shuai jiao before, but I feel Judo will contribute well to what I've been doing lately (submission wrestling).
here's a link to the place, may look like a mcdojo but my one friend seems to think its rather good

Anyone on here practice Judo in the past or present?
I'm a San Kyu
Shodan, with a side order of fries :D
I watched a judo class tonight, and am thinking of joining. Seems allot different than my kung fu classes though, and I'm a little hesitant. Very informal, and in a fitness center where everyone and their brother apparently goes to. Very strange feeling when you're used to practicing in a more private setting.
Do you guys think that cross training in judo has helped you as a martial artist?
Judo will teach you quite a bit about what goes on when someone grabs you, truly grabs you, with the intent to take you down.
And it will teach you balance in a way not typical of striking systems.
It will be a fine addition to your arsenal and allow you to understand how to deal with those kinds of attacks and how your fighting ability can be exploited by someone with judo training.
In short, its a win-win situation.
I guess I was a little taken back by the informal attitude of the class. I thought about it some more last night, and I think I'll give it a shot. One other thing that kinda had me worried was that it is a mcdojo. The classes are free, you just have to buy your GI and sign a waiver. I guess I figured if it was worth it, then it would cost at least something.... I'm gonna try it though and see how it goes.
If they are affliated with the Kodokan, the curriculum is standard and they should be going to regular competitions, after all, judo is a competitive sport, the whole point is to compete.
Its hard to be a "McDojo" in a competitive sport, unless you don't compete...
Unless of course they are teaching "combat judo" or something like that, in that case it should be more "rough and tumble" with lots of strikes also.
This is from their website at http://johnsoncityjudo.com/
"We are affiliated with USJI and a USJA Charter B club"
They have a "tournament and results" page, which lists future tourneys...
I talked to the instructor after class was over and he mentioned that sometimes he has to tone it down a little when he gets younger guys in there, because they tend to be a little too rough. I think he was saying that because he doesn't want it to be seen as a rough sport, since it is in such a public place.
Judo is about as real an encounter that one has when engaging an actual opponent because in all, if not most instances, your 'enemy' will alway try to grab you.
I think it's mostly culture shock for me. The idea of practicing in front of 200 strangers is a little unsettling for me, I'm a pretty private person.
I'll get used to it though.
:o I bet no one would mess with me after that!! until I got a shower that is.....
I'm kinda excited about starting, but also nervous because it'll be so much different in applications and training than what I'm used to. I'm a little guy, 5'6" 160lbs. I'll probably get thrown around like a rag doll!!
eh, maybe I'll use my short stature to uproot them!!!! ::evil laugh::
or I'll just get thrown on my @ss. :D
McDojo for a while.
But I do Jiu Jutsu along with my Kung Fu now and will likely be doing Judo if I move to Prince George.
And short guys: I am annoyed by your low center of gravity. So if I can't throw you I'll clinch and then try to just haul you to the ground. :D
The toughest opponents for me to wrestle with are invariably short and stocky.
Big and tall guys like me: not too many in my circle but when I have faced them most have balance issues. I don't have bad balance but that's down to years of working on it. A bit harder to manage on the ground unless they get worn down.
Tall lanky guys: EASY to throw... frequently the most dramatic throws are on tall lanky guys. Easier on ground than the big guys.
Short skinny guys: Very light, thus easy to throw and easy to dominate on ground due to weight differential... but gotta be careful got climbed by a short skinny guy like a monkey in a cliche tree once and choked out.
Short, stocky guys: Low center of gravity, heavier, hard to throw, also harder to get in arm and leg related locks on the ground. In my experience slightly easier to pass guard on short, stocky guys. I generally try to get cross body, mount or top body and try for a choke.
This is based on personal experience only and YMMV. My opinions on the matter should not constitute any sort of absolute.
Well, I'll be the shortest guy in the class. Most of them are somewhat stocky as well.
I may have my work cut out for me, but I'm fine with that. I'll end up a better fighter/grappler in the end.
That's the idea. :D
I did a training seminar with Mike Swain. It was one of the best seminars I have been to. He was the nicest guy and watching his skill was unbelievable. I was thinking of going Judo after attending the seminar, but couldn;t find any place close enough.
Went to my first class last night. I am sore! Didn't think it would take that much out of me. It was very fun though, and it really brought to light how much of a ground game I didn't have.
