It's probably because it's far less mainstream. I assume there's few FMA gyms focused on training for MMA competition, too. Look how long it took karate to get credibility in MMA.

Senor P, what would your strategy have been to defeat Ricco Rodriguez in that match?

Let's say, in the interest of fairness, he's roughly 50cm taller than you, roughly 30kg heavier than you, he's a strong former UFC champion and you don't lift weights.

He looks pretty barrel chested, so it's probably safe to assume that if you mounted him, your knees wouldn't touch the ground.

Which submission would you go for and why? Which position?

edit: I'm not saying Marcelo is above making mistakes. I'm saying, I can't comprehend any better way to deal with that opponent. In that Yoshida video, you can see his mistake: instead of putting his arm down, he should've allowed himself to fall. Instead of going for the back choke, Marcelo should have ______?

I would say Kali Tudo is more about incorporating other rulesets and arts into FMA, as opposed to having a subset of techniques that could be used for MMA.

Also, it doesn't seem like the Dog Brothers have expanded the scope of their training or affiliations much.

I think you already hit upon the answer - you made him reflect on why he gave you an excuse and then he found the motivation inside himself (the only place it can really come from I'd say) to just shut the gently caress up and do it.

You can yell and coerce and berate and whatever until you're Leben red but he's gotta make that decision, the best thing you can do is encourage and prompt his own thoughts to go down that road.

Pretty much what kimbo305 and 02-6611-0142-1 said. But most of all, FMA has always been a weapons based system first and empty hand second. The empty hand stuff is known as panantukan. Historically, it's based off the knife work (quick jabs, a lot of evasive footwork, and a high guard to PROTECT YO NECK). When the Philippines was colonized by the US after the Spanish-American War, western boxing began integrating into FMA via US servicemen. This is the lineage that is dominant in North America today (thanks to Inosanto and co), although some lineages of FMA integrated karate into panantukan (that are more popular within the Philippines).

The grappling portion of FMA is called dumog. The history is not as well documented, but it has roots to around the same time Muslims began settling on the islands. My instructor is convinced that modern dumog is mostly made up or taken from other arts. There are a lot better grappling systems out there, imo.

I've mentioned before that I use a lot of the slipping and footwork from FMA when I box (I just realize I should stop saying this considering the empty hand stuff I learned is based off of western boxing :P).

edit: just to add more, as someone who took up boxing about 6 months ago - the science of boxing is phenomenally more deeper than FMA. That is, the mechanics of learning how to throw a proper jab, cross, hook and uppercut in boxing is a lot more in depth than what I learned in FMA. My FMA experience is mostly weapons based though, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

Really long time ago I was reading a book about the early history of UFC. When Dana White just took over the UFC he Arthur Davie was going around looking for a stable of fighters that he could sign on. When the Dog Brothers demonstrated their weapons based sparring to him, he turned them down due to it being too extreme at the time for mainstream viewers.

I think I remember this story as well it's AFAIK not simple legend but true, people beating each other bloody with sticks being too horrible to show on television (while it's ok to have to 170lbs fighters punch each other a bloody mess with glorified cycling gloves for protection though but whatever). From what I've seen on Dog Brothers, say, a BJJ artist fighting against someone with a stick and trained against resistance would not end well for the person without the stick.

Instead of going for the back choke, Marcelo should have ______?
I've only been doing this sport for 2.5 years so take what I say with a grain of salt...

Marcelo manages to pretty effectively attack/defend from a sitting position. Marcelo gets that low sitting/hanging from the back at 2:40 in the video. (Arms around his oppponents hips, legs in the back of his knees.) This effectively drives him to the ground. Then he proceeds to jump to the back, his opponent is now able to stand up. Marcelo then is just kind of chilling out, not really attacking. I don't see how he's going to get an RNC without getting his opponent to the ground. Unless he accepts the fact his opponent will try to slam him, then immediatley go for the RNC. (This happens but Marcelo does not scramble for the RNC, in fact he takes a breather.)

If he wants to jump up to the back and drag the guy down, then the person needs to be off balance. If he's perched on the back and his opponent can stand straight up, then he is doing it wrong.

Earlier in the video Marcelo sits down on the ground and pretty much forces the other guy to play his game. (Which works very well.) Personally I felt if he made more attempts to attack the ankle, particularly when he manages to get the single leg, this would have ended sooner.

Back to your question, instead of going for the back choke, Marcelo should have continued with what worked in the beginning of the match. Fighting from a sitting position, getting the single leg, jumping low onto his back and dragging him down to the ground. Go for the RNC if he can keep him down, maybe try attack the ankle more.

It is a giant contradiction. Ukemi goes from, "learning to fall safely and also being able to return to attacking your opponent with newaza." to "Who cares? I just need to not land on my back"

Apologies for the Bravoism but it seems to me that Marcelo should have switched to Truck as soon as his opponent fell to his knees and gone to back the way Ryan does here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mJT_PgVgPY when he stood back up. I realize that this isn't Marcelo's 'style' but it really seems like the 'right answer' to that problem imo.

Also judo and sport judo are basically diametrically opposed in both philosophy and tactics, hence the contradiction of having incredibly high level judoka do completely un-judo things in a sport judo competition.

I'm not going to presume to guess at Marcelo's game, but usually, from that sitting position, he teaches you to go to the x-guard. There's a lot of good entries into it if you get that one leg from a sitting position.

Then I thought it was over but I learned at the last minute that I was part of a semi-final and was out of my game. The guy was much stronger than me and beat me without too much trouble but I got out of his hold on the ground twice so that was good. Also had him in a hold at some point but I misunderstood the judge and thought he said mate so I let him go :( Also posted my arm when he threw me :L that hurt a little bit uhuh.

My third fight :

Went through the whole 3 mins. Did many horrible things but ended up winning by points (I'm really passive in the last minute because I was ok with just keeping the point advantage). Had the guy in a hold but when the judge said that the timer was starting I thought he said mate so I let the guy go like an idiot! If the guy had any ground work skill I would have lost on many occasion. There's no word to describe how much I was gassing out during this fight.

My fourth fight :
Didn't know I was supposed to fight until like 1 min before the fight so I wasn't into it (after my pool was over, I thought it was done but there was enough people in my weight class to make some semi-finals and since I was 2nd best in my pool I was to fight against the winner of the other pool). Hurt my elbow when I posted my arm during that throw. Pretty happy with my escape from side control and from mount. Bonus point for one of the girls in my club being loving energetic in the corner all fight long hahaha

Except I was led into answering that question. You make it sound like I'm literally saying Marcelo should do X to obtain his victory.

I did suggest he use what worked well in the match. (Attacking from low on the back, arms around the hips, legs on the back of the knees, dragging the guy down to the ground.) However, Marcelo goes for the high back twice.

I don't think it is presumptuous to say that using the same strategy to attack is not going to work the second time if it did not work the first. Particularly when this is on video.

There are of course videos where Marcelo has jumped to the high back of a standing opponent, and dragged them to the ground. But if you don't have the person off balance or an RNC, then you have nothing.

The entire point I wanted to make is that jumping up on someone's back in a tournament, where defending submission attempts with slams is legal, may not be the smartest idea. Particularly if you're not able to secure a submission or get them off balance and to the ground.

Since I am so wrong to criticize Marcelo. How is jumping up onto someones back, with no RNC an effective attack? Especially if the person you're attacking is able to remain standing and in control? What about when they outweight you by 150 lbs and you're nice and high off the ground?

I mean it's a great position to be in if you're sure the guy won't fall back on top of you, or that you're sure you can take it.

Yeah it's pretty much limited to arm bars, elbow locks, and blood chokes. You can check out the newaza links at judoinfo.com for a bit more detail. Neck/spine attacks are illegal, but carotid/trachea chokes aren't, so careful with the guillotines but if you're doing them right it's legit (I'd still avoid them in comps). Also, while you can't grind the face to sink your RNC you can drive your thumb knuckle into the soft spot where their jaw connects to their ear to generate enough discomfort that they lift&turn their head.

you don't see a contradiction there? judo is meant to teach people to resolve conflicts gently, without causing harm to anyone involved. posting to block throws can mean preventing an opponent from throwing you safely in order to avoid losing a tournament- that's the exact opposite of judo, and also totally devoid of common sense.

you don't see a contradiction there? judo is meant to teach people to resolve conflicts gently, without causing harm to anyone involved. posting to block throws can mean preventing an opponent from throwing you safely in order to avoid losing a tournament- that's the exact opposite of judo, and also totally devoid of common sense.

Sometimes you have to win or you die. That's the essence of judo to.

I think you've established your opinion that sport judo is nonsense. But in that context, why are you even bothered that Yoshida, a through-and-through sport judoka, sorry, gi sport grappler, did what he did?

It's only a contradiction because you've got this really weird view on what Judo is that nobody outside your lineage agrees with.

It's not actually that weird, Kano was very clear in ALL his Judo writings that it's designed to teach people seiryoku zen'yō (精力善用?, maximum efficiency, minimum effort) and jita kyōei (自他共栄?, mutual welfare and benefit). Who but its creator has is more qualified to say how Judo should be?

No it isn't, you're just making that up, and that's definitely not the case in the situation under discussion.

I compete regularly; I don't think sport judo is nonsense. I think judoka on the whole these days are incredibly misguided in their belief that winning is everything (note above). It bothers me that Yoshida put himself in a dangerous position to avoid losing because it demonstrates that even the best judoka are being corrupted by the shallow "win at any cost" ideology, and because posters here continue to praise his decision and imply that we should emulate his mistakes because of his successes.

Kano also would have gotten his rear end thrown all over the place by Yoshida sooo

Judo is also supposed to be about smaller people being able to throw bigger people so I guess weight classes are anti-judo?

It's a sport, the point is to win. You play according to the rules.
