Hi, I've just found the site and its amazing!.

Bit of a basic question here. I'm currently a yellow belt from Ireland.

When going for Uchimata, I cant seem to close the space between myself and my opponent. When i do close the space down, I cant get my leg tight or high enough to commit to the throw.

Could you recommend anything to correct this?
Thanks!
Dave

Hi, I'm a yellow belt from Ireland so I'm sorry if this seems like a very basic question.
When I'm trying fro an Uchimata i find it very hard to close down the space between myself and uke.
When I do manage to get in tight, I cant seem to get my leg up high enough to actually get the throw.

Could you recommend anything? Any idea what I could be doing wrong?
Thanks!
Dave

Sensei White,

I am not a judo student but I do study jiu jitsu. What do you recommend for acheiving better balance?

Hello Sensei White! Thank you for giving such thoughtful info in your videos. Most of it is a bit advanced for me being a yellow belt but I take from it what I can. I am contacting you for advice about injury. Last week I injured my fellow Judoka during randori. I feel awful and need to learn as much as I can about how injury occurs in Judo so that I can do the most to make sure that it doesn't happen again. This particular injury happened when he was coming in for ouchi gari. I thought that he was trying a hip or forward throw so I tried to counter with tani otoshi. His leg was in between mine and I sat on his knee from the side bending it inward. I haven't seen him since to know the extent of the injury but I imagine that it can't be good. My Sensei's tell me that it is a common thing and that I didn't do anything wrong but I do feel awful and would like to never repeat this or other injury again.

Thank you
Samuel Fountain

Your show rocks, and Judo is clearly an amazing art/sport. I am a short man (5' 4") and find many techniques are taught with taller Judoka's in mind. If one analyzes the typical defense these days, shorter players are at a serious disadvantage when it comes to attacking. It would be great if you focused some content from the perspective of being a shorter player.

It has happened to me in several occasions (Ne Waza) that my opponent grabs my arm and is ready to finalize an arm bar pushing with the legs (i am on top) but i resist by grabbing my arm kind of like a ring. The opponent usually gets the arm bar because he has the leg push and I give it up....Is there way to reverse an arm bar from a situation like this when you are being push with both legs from the bottom??
Thanks so much for what you are doing, Sensei White

I am a left handed judoka and frequently find myself against right handed fighters. I get attacked frequently with ouchi gari to my left leg. There are counters that I have been taught to use when I am playing right handed. What are some counters I can use as a left handed player against right handed players attacking my left leg with ouchi gari? I need something to help me start developing a game plan. Thank you.

Sensei White, please advise me.
I have a big Russian guy in Judo class that has a Sambo background.
He is a taller strong guy. He always holds my Gi over my back.
If I have my right hand on his Gi collar, He reaches over my back with is right hand. His left hand is holding the Gi at my right arm. He holds me for a while, before he throws me. I have time to counter if I knew what to do.

Hello Sensei - I am a beginner in judo and found your website to be very imformative and practical. I need help with opponents that take the wrestler's stand (bend back, body in L-shape). How do I create an entry to attack or breakdown my opponent's posture? Thank you for a great website and thanks in advance for your tips. -eg8665

Good day Sensei, thanks for a great site, surely the most practical I have found on the net. My son has a problem that has twice cost him the gold at national level. He finds his arms and hands go numb / 0 energy after about 1 minute of fighting to the point where he can barely grip or throw. This does not happen at training where we train for over an hour of which at least 40 minutes is randori. He is 15 yrs old and fights in this group but trains against all , teens and seniors. Is this a well known judo syndrome with a simple solution or should we look at something more physiological ? Do you know of or is there a record of this type of problem. He has been doing judo for about 7 years and has only been subject to this problem in the last 3 to 4 months. Many thanks

Does this only happen when he cuts weight? Maybe the loss of water is doing something equivelant to cramping up.

Hello Topaz,

I hope I can help you.

Usually trying to throw a heavier opponent by strength alone is not a good idea because you can exert yourself too much and cause injury.

What you can try to do instead is study the principles of "kuzushi" (balance destroying). When you apply this to an opponent who is heavier, this effectively eliminates almost all of his weight as a problem. The disruption of his balance and the following momentum plus a technique that attacks his center will cause him to be thrown with little strength required.

If you still have doubts, please look for "Kyuzo Mifune" on youtube. The guy was small, not physically imposing at all and was 65 years old, but he could easily throw people twice his size with almost no effort.

Hello Topaz, I hope I can help you.

Usually with heavier people, throwing them is not generally a good idea because you might exert yourself too much and cause damage. So using pure strength to throw is not a good idea.

What my judo teacher taught me is instead to use his weight against him. If you study the principles of "kuzushi" (balance destroying) you can use his faltering balance and momentum in addition to technique to throw a heavier person nearly every time.

If you have doubts, please look for "Kyuzo Mifune" on youtube. The guy was diminutive in stature and was 65 years old, but he could throw a guy easily twice his size using these principles.

Here is what my teacher told me: "Strength is limited, but technique is limitless."

I'm left handed and I like to hold my grip left handed. The problem I frequently face is that by not controlling my (right handed) opponent's dominant arm, since my left hand is holding their lapel rather their sleeve, my opponent will easily take a dominant grip, either by holding my lapel high behind my neck or even reaching over and gripping behind my back. Any suggestions? What are the best grip solutions for left handed judokas?

How do I improve throwing a larger opponent? Is there a drill a can practice? I train in a dojo with few adults and I am one of the larger judoka. I am a white belt 5ft 8in weigh 195lbs. Uki that I am usually paired up with is a brown belt about 6ft2in weighs close to 300lbs. We are practicing Tai-otoshi,Harai-goshi and Ippon-seoi-nage. I get frustrated because my technique is not where it should be.

Sensei White,

As an older individual who also has elbow and shoulder injuries I am curious about your arm and hand placement for the following two throws: Morote Seoi Nage and Tsuri Komi Goshi. Both of these throws are painful for me in the shoulder joint and it costs me way too much power. I watched your tai otoshi videos with great interest and have already employed your techniques into my game with great success. Please help an older judoka (who likes to fight the younger ones) out.

Eric

Why do we see very few judo practitioners in sport fighting like UFC and all those leagues? I have no doubt about Judo being effective, I just wonder why they dont incorporate this into their training. I could see someone who practices Judo and a striking art to be very effective if they put in their time. Any thoughts?

See... Karo Parisyan, Don Frye, Akiyama, Shinja Aoki, Yoshida, Hidehinko, Sokudu, Remco Pardue (UFC 2), Fedor the lists go on.... I know what you mean though.

However I think it has to do a great deal with a few factors...
1) Judo is not as popular in North America as Wrestling.
2) Judo uses a gi and many might feel uncomfortable.
3) Judo I think plays a bigger part over in asia in thier mma orgs.
4) Judo is not so recognized and is cross trained by wrestlers and Bjj guys. So when asked what they do they say one of the other two because your average guy knows what bjj and wrestling are.
5) Judo is not an "AGGRESSIVE" sport, dont get this confused with competitive though... And Make no mistake that MMA is AGGRESSIVE or greatly perseved as such.

For MMA I think its a wicked sport to have as a base. I would say it is 3/4 where BJJ is in the submission department and 3/4 what wrestling is in the takedown dept. Take down defence should be on par with Wrestling. And it would have the same level of Submission defence as BJJ. But it has a unique ability to work well off the cage/fence doing footsweeps/reaps "JUDO TRICKS" as Joe Rogan would say.

I would think Judo Would be better paired up with solid boxing rather than anything that throws kicks. But thats just my thoughts. Because its MIXED martial arts...

I hate watching the stereo typical, cookie cutter fighters I love watching fighters who are different... Machida, Karo Parisyan, Fedor, Cro Cop etc.

I hate watching the younger generation who can do everything, I guess I just like watching how grappling arts tend to rule in the octagon...

Hello Sensei White.

I have someone that I have been fighting for just about a year now. She used to beat me all the time, until I started using tani otoshi as a counter to her tai otoshi. Tai otoshi was the only throw that she would do, but now she has started to go left handed and doing tani otoshi with a similar grip that you would use to throw with sumi gaeshi. I am a right handed fighter, and I don't know any defense against a left handed fighter. My right hand grip would leave me wide open for her left handed grip. I don't really want to experiment with a left handed grip so close to nationals. What could I use to defend against a left handed grip if I am a right handed fighter?

Sensei,

Any ideas for Newaza to suit judoka who are very small, (I'm 5'1) and lightweight, which suits the new rules of not defending by curling up for extended periods of time? On the occasions I'm forced into ground (I usually get a throw, and even if it's tomoe nage ground is planned on my behalf rather than some one forcing me into it) my usual strategy is to use my size to an advantage, by allowing myself to get pushed over and become smaller by rolling into a ball and attacking reactively to some one's attempt to get me out of defensive. My ground is very weak, as I am used to a height advantage being among the smallest in lightweight, but this dissapears in Newaza.

My 9 year old daughter needs ideas on how to
a) avoid letting girls get a headlock koshi guruma grip
b) shed the grip without getting thrown
c) counter attack girls who use this grip.

She wins most her matches, but when she loses, it's almost always by this throw.
Thanks!

I can see where in the future for younger fighters Koshi Guruma will be illegal. Up here in Canada thats what is being pushed on us to do.

I would tell her to duck under and do Tae Guruma (Pick up) or a duck under leg pick with an ouchi gari. (Leg grabs will be taken away too though so this might not be a good idea)

Or how about just focus on getting the arm that would be going for her head and do a Makikomi. Of course Makikomi is going to be taken away from younger fighters too.

They are taking the wrestling out of Judo so it will be a different monster and force people to do true judo.

Sensei White, I have been playing for a little more than a year, and just a couple of weeks ago a new guy came in our Dojo who was a high school wrestler, when ever we lock up he pulls his head and sholders very close to me and bases his feet out very far back. Kata Guruma does not work, neither does tio toshi. Do you have any suggestion as to how I can attack?

grab his belt with your left hand and sumi gaeshi. Push him lower if you need to. Careful with a counter with morote gari. You have to be quick. (Anyway you can only it for max 5 sec)

From what I've heard in judo clubs and tournaments in GA, harai makikomi was a major part of your competitive career. I have the video of you dislocating Traineau's shoulder bookmarked! I hope you can help me: My tokui waza is Harai Goshi. I only throw people in randori or tournaments with Harai Makikomi. It looks like garbage compared to yours though. I always do basic uchikomis with my post leg deep between the uki's legs and throw with a standard high grip (your post leg looks outside the uki's and right hand makes no grip). Is there a special grip sequence or uchikomi for your harai makikomi? I'd love to come to your club and train some time!

Sensei White,

As a mixed martial artist, I see an increasing need to learn proper judo throws. Could you help illustrate how to perform some throws that rely mainly on leg or hip placement? I find that I have trouble controling opponents when they hug in tight, clinching with over/under hooks.

Thank you!

Hi Leo

This is such an amazing site, I have watched all your episodes so far.

I have a question:
What tricks can you use with gripping to get your opponent to get them to react or lose balance, as a setup for a throw such as kata-guruma or yoko guruma? I want to break my opponents balance and the quickly move in for the throw without them being able to go anywhere to avoid it. Is there a way I can cross my opponents arms for a spit second, getting them to react?

Thank you...

Hello Sensei White,
I have a question for you. I am a fan of Tai-otoshi, but when I had to fight someone that was fond of Tai-otoshi aswell, I couldn't get around it. There hasn't been a fight yet where she hasn't used this throw, and that is all she uses. Now, I don't know any counters to Tai-otoshi, I just know how to stop it. And after about four times of me doing it, she starts to get a little smarter.

ps, I do not like seoi nage. or uchi mata, my legs are too short.
And also, I am a sankyu, and this would be my 5th year in judo. I am not very big, the weight category that I am currently in is -44 (Juvinelle Women's), and I am 5'1".

Please help me, I have a tournament on the 23rd of January, and I am determined to beat her.

Hope you respond soon, and have a great day,

Chantelle
pss, i apologize for posting in the wrong place before

Thank you, I will try that in practice on Tuesday.
My tournament went well, and the girl that I normally fight was a no-show, so I fought up to -48, and I ended up getting silver.

Thank you for the Help!

hi great site by the way sensei leo! i was wondering if you could show gripping stragities, like how to get the grip you want and, break ones you dont want, and maybe show grips that are uncommin or just any techniques for the gripping part of judo, because i think it is one of the most important parts of judo, thanks!

Get out of dodge if someone pulls a knife. Start sprinting.

Look up Goshin Juitsu there are some solutions but you wont have to defend vs a knife if you run.

Sensei White;

I was hoping you could give some additional insight as to gripping strategies when you are fighting a left handed opponent (as a right handed fighter).

Hello Sensei White,

First of all congratulations on your total new web design. Now for one more request, this time is about "Sankaku-Waza".
I saw your previous episodes, talks about sankau, and they both were great. Actually, I often find myself using right roll sankaku entry, when my opponents resist roll in the normal way. The "gut wrench" grip is also nice useful trick.
I will be glad if you will show some more different variations of, and entries into sankaku, both from typical "turtle position" (like you did in the previous episodes) but also from other positions.

Thank you Leo for your wonderful initiative by making this website, and keep up the good work you and your team do. Gil

Hello Sensei White,
Many times when I am in the juji-gatme position, I find it difficult to straighten my opponents arm and so get the submission. I'd like to see some effective ways to straighten uke's arm. Also, I notice that you sometimes actually apply the lock without straighten uke's arm- how do you do that?

Many thanks, GIl.
