The unified rules is pretty much the only relevant ruleset in existence these days, buddy, regardless of organisation.

OneFC allows soccer kicks and knees to the head of grounded people.

nick Diaz's new promotion doesn't allow elbows.

But none of them allow gis.

Gis were welcome even in the UFC for a long time, the current rules are meant to make fights entertaining for the ignorant masses, not to promote fair or technical 'style vs style' matchups. They pander to wrestling like nobody's business, because that's what sells tickets

Didn't OneFC recently switch to soccer kicks allowed from some strange halfway point where the referee could allow them under certain conditions?

I guess there is also Hip Show as well. But still no gis.

So what? The part of the article you complained about clearly was about the effectivness of wrestling versus judo in current day MMA. That means unified rules, which makes discussing how things work when one or more fighters wear a GI irrelevant.

Except that 'modern MMA' doesn't necessarily mean unified rules (no matter how much you want to claim that it's the only possible ruleset), and it's absolutely relevant to that discussion that one of the best weapons Judoka have in their arsenal has been taken away from them in UFC to give wrestlers an unfair advantage

Are you guys being intentionally obtuse? Common sense should tell you that the wrestler isn't the one wearing a gi in that scenario...

How do you clock choke someone on a failed shot if they're not wearing a gi? Is there a different clock choke you're referring to where you would use your own gi lapel?

CivilDisobedience
Dec 27, 2008
Yeah, using the very bottom of your own lapel. It's sort of the 'traditional' response to a wrestling shot in Judo, very common and very reliable. I'll look for a video.

1)What currently operating organizations allow the use of a gi?
2)The Unified rules do WAY more to nullify wrestlers than anybody else. Removing ground knees is a big example of this.

I was kind of disappointed in his response to the "wrestling beats Judo" nonsense too. Sure, Judoka don't practice sprawling, but wrestlers don't practice submissions- both would have to pull from outside their discipline to stand a chance. And really, it's still a very predictable match: the wrestler sees the Judoka standing straight up and shoots a double, the Judoka bases out and uses his gi to secure a clock choke, the wrestler tries to drive through and finish the takedown, then wakes up a couple minutes later wondering what happened. It's not exactly rocket science.

Yep that's exactly how it would go..

X-posted from the MA thread since I think there's some judo guys here that do not read the other thread.

Just helped one of my friend from the club pass their black belt test by being her uke. The experience was interesting since I'm probably going to pass my own black belt exam next year and I learned quite a bit in the process, but the training for the exam wasn't particularly great, especially toward the end since I was only uke and judo for the past 2-3 weeks as been 6-7 hours of me getting thrown and doing pretty much nothing else + the last 9 months or so of taking time to practice once or twice a week as uke in addition to "real" judo.

This got me wondering, how are judo black belts awarded in other places? Here it's a process that involves "Judo Québec" the governing body of judo for my province so your teacher as no say in you getting a black belt and can't award you one at the club.

To apply for your belt test you need :

-- To have been registered as a brown belt for at least 1 year
-- to get 120 points in order to apply. You get point for your 4 best competitions each year (5 points for showing up, 10 points for a ippon win, 7 points for a wazari win and 5 points for a yuko win). You also get bonus point for other stuff like about 30 points for being a member of Judo Québec and if you volunteer for a comp you get 5 points I think. "Free points" like those can't count for more than 50% of your total points.

At the actual belt test you :

-- Have to follow a lot of formal stuff that is sort of weird. The way you do everything is very formal which is weird since my club isn't formal at all. Like there is a way you have to move on the ground and a lot of other stuff.
-- Do around 9 throws (they chose which from a list of the whole gokyo)
-- Do a few pins (they chose which from a list of the whole gokyo)
-- Do a few arm bars they ask you for (they chose which from a list of the whole gokyo)
-- Do a few chokes they ask you for (they chose which from a list of the whole gokyo)
-- Do the Nage No Kata
-- Do a short randori

This is graded by people who are 5-6th dan judo player as far as I'm aware. Our judges were all 6th dan, one used to be canadian champion and another was a very old woman that did international kata competitions and received many 1st places. The other guy I don't know much about.

Is that standard across most of the world where judo is well implanted?

1. Why do you think an organization needs to be currently operating to provide a MMA relevant ruleset? We're talking about the entertainment industry here, the longevity of an prize fighting organization relates to its business management, not its reffing.

2. You know they can't do ground knees in wrestling either right? The guys who get hurt most by the ground knees rule are people who use knees often (IE muay thai) and people who use a lot of knee on belly (IE judo bjj)

Mark Coleman and Mark Kerr would strongly agree. Thankfully the wrestling conspiracy protected them from those deadly knees. You do know why those knees were outlawed? and it wasn't because of the dominance of Muay Thai fighters. Also knees to the body are still allowed whether grounded or not. Don't know why you think knee on belly would be banned either it's not a strike.

If someone, like Dave Camarillo, is asked to comment on how wrestling and judo work as a base for another combat sport, in this case MMA, you kind of expect him to base his answer on a ruleset that actually is used and athletes can compete in today, not years ago or maybe sometime in the future.

I don't think either Dave or the interviewer would make the mistake of equivocating the sport MMA with the prizefighting org UFC- they know the difference. You're the ones pretending they're the same exact thing and acting like the UFC ruleset is the MMA bible (which will be funny down the line when those rules change on you or another big prizefighting org pops up)
