There's a whole set of techniques in the "post-throw, pre-groundwork" phase that's being increasingly ignored as BJJ and judo try to differentiate themselves from each other. The BJJ schools I've attended have all had really tight standup, no one could relax and flow until they were off their feet, and the judo schools have had similarly tight groundwork.

I'm sure every judoka has thrown someone who hung on and pulled them over into groundwork during the impact, and I'm sure the BJJers who do standup have been thrown and found themselves caught in a sub or pin before they had time to react. People seem to be trying to forget that the momentum/tension that's collected in standup should continue as you move into groundwork for a smooth flow. If it gets released when you change levels opponents get the chance to go fetal and fend off your sub.

Of course we've all drilled throws into arm bars or kimuras on occasion, but that's just the tip of the iceberg:

Hello kickass goons;

I am about to move to Hamilton, Ontario, and I am an inactive basement-dwelling nerd who trained in Karate for about 4 months when I was around 10 years old, and found that I didn't have the discipline or self-awareness required to appreciate the wisdom of, or practice the techniques I learned from, the Dojo I attended.

Now that I am older and (not really) wiser, is there anyone who lives in Hamilton who could recommend to me a Kyokushin Karate studio in which to train?

Quite the opposite from what I hear, it's basically fine at that level to punch opponents in the jaw so long as you've got a collar grip with it, and nutters and shin kicks are pretty common too.

that kinda supports what I was saying, no? the typical bouncer is big, has some decent grappling knowledge and is used to real fight situations. the typical judo bb isn't used to getting into fights, doesn't crosstrain, smaller and the equivalent to a bjj purple belt or a kickboxer with 5 amateur fights...basically solid, but not that high up the totem pole at his own discipline.

I'm a green belt so I can't comment on bouncers or on black belts? I've seen you post in the UFC threads but I haven't seen you fight in the UFC... Strange.
I don't know what judo black belts you've seen or trained with (obviously very few or none) but I've never met one that wasn't incredibly strong especially for their size. And having no gi to work with isn't as much of a disadvantage like you're probably thinking, for example double legs were only recently banned and theres about a million other ways judoka can get an opponent to the ground anyway. The movement and fluidity and base of someone at that level is astounding. What do you mean 'typical judoka don't crosstrain'? Do the bouncer is just assumed to crosstrain but the judoka is assumed to not crosstrain just because it suits your theory better?
95% of the time competition is essential for the black belt promotion and the conditioning is brutal, not as brutal as MMA but its pretty much up there near the top. And I'm sure you already know this but chokes are just as effective on someone muscular than on someone not.
Saying a typical judo bb isn't used to getting into fights is a ridiculous thing to say, whether true or not means absolutely nothing. We're not talking hapkido here, we're talking about a live art. When you said that a typical judo black belt would qualify for a bjj purple belt, I knew you were talking out of your rear end. Actually, I knew before then. To train 3-6 times a week for 4 years+ to get a judo bb is incredibly grueling and generally teaches a lot of fight intelligence along the way and in my opinion completely trumps someone whos main focus is lifting weights and as you said; 'decent' grappling (just following your assumptions here). But very rarely would any judo black belts qualify for a BJJ purple belt, most would fall just short of a blue if you ask me, not necessarily for lack of strength on the ground in terms of effective techniques but for lack of versatility on the more complex (and most likely far less useful outside of the dojo) moves and situations.

Obviously I'm not counting 50 yr old judoka who got their black belt when they were 21 and train once a month since then or whatever. On a bit of a tangent here but having said that, I'd wager every dollar I own on the 60 year instructor that teaches our class sometimes against any bouncer. He's a 7th dan judo black belt and clearly not what we're referring to in this discussion but drat, its cool to see someone of his age so incredibly attuned to grappling.

Probably depends on the area you live in. Here there are pretty much never any fights in bars, so bouncers are usually just guys that are rather big but wouldn't know what to do if a fight happened so I'd bet my money on anyone with fighting skills over them (unless the weight difference was really huge)

I had to compress that wall of text and here's the response:

1. I never said that Judo BBs were easy to get, that they weren't good at throwing people, that a gi is a disadvantage, that chokes weren't effective on muscular people or that it meant you qualified for a BJJ purple belt. Where are you getting all of this crap from?

2. You're under the naive impression that randori prepares you for a streetfight with guys whose job description says "occasional streetfights".

3. Outside of Gene LeBell's Armenian refugee camp, the typical judoka's probably not getting into uncontrolled fights because they're regular people instead of loving idiots.

4. I understand that Judo BBs must be really impressive to you at this stage, but your 60 year instructor is not going to beat "any bouncer".

Gene Lebelle was getting into fights with boxers to showcase how a mixture of grappling and striking skills were more effective than the common American fighting sports back in the 60s IIRC. I'd put money on him because he was essentially a heavyweight MMA champion decades before the UFC began. Your average 60 year old black belt, not so much.

How many dollars do you have? I am friends with a bouncer from the UK, you might of heard of him, I mention him occasionally. Bare in mind, that in the UK, bouncers are not allowed to hurt customers and have to be licensed by the government, so he gets called a wimp a lot and can barely do anything about it when he works, so in that way he is completely untested.

I guess "bouncer" is a general example of a tough big strong guy with some kind of real world experience with physical altercations. I guess it comes down to what training is really worth compared to just physicality. Some people get really insecure about this stuff and make claims one way or another.


You also see dudes that are new to whatever style fall in love and start overestimating skill versus physical attributes. Nierbo's judo coach prob could beat up a lot of bouncers, get beaten up by more but it doesn't loving matter because hes an old man that is teaching Judo not picking fights.

The whole thing is especially ridiculous when neither a bouncer or judo teacher are supposed to be beating anyone up. Bouncers are supposed to make sure clubs are safe and if someone starts acting inappropriately they're supposed to get them out with as little trouble as possible; sometimes that might mean fighting but ideally it wouldn't. Similarly, a Judo teacher is supposed to teach people how to throw people a very particular way such that they score an Ippon or barring that, hold them or choke them a specific way. Normal, sane, rational people whether they're bouncers or kindergarten teachers don't care whether they or people they know can beat up random strangers because why in the gently caress would you unless you're a sociopath?

It turns out we don't disagree, and I hadn't realized your argument was hinging on the specific notion of "any" bouncer. I thought you were suggesting that old men aren't dangerous.

And I like how my instructor explains the notion of sizing up strangers. "An untrained person wonders if they can fight. A fighter wonders if they're the better fighter. A martial artist considers how he would beat his opponent. A master has already considered your weaknesses and pondered a strategy for how to know that he will win."

I think things like: I will run up to them throwing punches until I'm close enough to throw elbows and once we're too close for that I'll headbutt them in the nose.

I think Forrest Griffen said that, best streetfighting advice ever.

As someone who just graduated from a highschool with a wrestling team, here is a legit streetfighting tip:

don't ever do any kind of takedown that involves any part of you touching the ground on anything but mats and soft dirt.

As a person that's been in countless "concrete engagements" as a bouncer for a nightclub for many years, I can tell you that I disagree with this statement. I understand where you're coming from, and the danger which you're implying that comes with any sort of takedown.

However, it's like Rickson Gracie says, "I am a shark, the ground is my ocean and most people can't even swim". There's no such thing as a fair street fight. If you have to fight, than get behind or on top of your opponent and make sure you never get tunnel vision of your surroundings.

I recognize the danger of going in for a double leg, but if the red line gets crossed than you better believe I'm looking for a way to take my opponent off his feet and into my world.

This post is truth except I only wish I was a beta, I'm way to much of a loser to be anything than an omega :ohdear: When people used to come in and ask our Judo coach if he had ever fought anyone FOR REALS or if they could defend themselves with it, he always told them no he hadn't fought and while you certainly can use some of the techniques to defend yourself, it would be more useful to just learn how to run really fast and/or buy a gun.

Only time he ever came close to a fight was some guy at a bar thought he was flirting with his girlfriend so he came over and started poo poo talking and pushing my coach. Coach just backed away, apologized and offered to buy the guy a drink; dude accepted and they talked for a while. I mean if he fights that dude the best case scenario is that he beats some drunk guy up and gets to feel good about the fact that he caused needless harm to another person. Worst case is he dies. Instead he's out a couple of bucks and everyone walks away happy and friendly.

Edit: I'm honestly just curious, what kind of jobs do you people have and/or lifestyles do you lead where you need to be considering whether or not you or your sensei can kick someone's rear end on a consistent basis? I mean unless you're like a pro-fighter, cop or a drug dealer or something.
