I believe If Judo had a family or group of people that publicized and postered it the way the Gracies did BJJ, it may have been the more popular grappling art. It’s no coincidence that the original UFC’s didn’t have many Judoka going up against the Gracies. Judo has the biggest index of throws, sweeps, and takedowns, all of which are amazing to watch. It obviously birthed BJJ but I think some forget Judo still has a good fundamental ground skill (about a bjj blue/purple belts worth depending on the player) I would love to see it gain some popularity in the US.
I left BJJ to train Judo I am a former boxer and kickboxer and dabbled in mma/bjj I much prefer the dynamic aspect in Judo. Without being cocky I can handle myself if the need arise, but Judo for me is a better option to grapple with on the street 100% I respect bjj 100% and acknowledge it is brilliant for mma and 1 on 1 fights. However, I would take Judo every time
It is the more popular grappling art though, its like 10 times more people in the world doing judo compared to BJJ. My impression is that BJJ and wrestling is more common in the US
Its like taking a greco guy and throwing him into MMA. He wont necessarily he a good fighter because Judo and Greco arent fighting. Its a sport. Yes it is fight related but at the end of the day its a sport. You can be a great Judo player or Wrestler but a terrible fighter. You wince and shut your eyes when someone punches at you. You have terrible footwork and hands when punching etc. Some Judo guys are natural fighters. Karo Parisyan. Fedor Emelienanko. These guys were able to take their judo and use it because they can fight and understand fighting so they can apply judo skill correctly. Same goes for wrestlers. The art doesnt make someone good. Its the person and how they use their given arts and knowledge.
Probably not. Judo relies heavily on the gi and doesn’t work well in mma especially stand alone. There’s never been someone who trains predominantly judo that has been a ufc champions but there’s been many bjj champions
I haven't learned judo (but would love to), but from what I've read, if you only still remember how to break a fall, that's something valuable you can keep for life. It might even save your life someday.
@@CornyBum I’ve been outta Judo for only 3-4 years and I’ve used my breakfalls more times than I can remember. I fall a lot and most of them likely wouldn’t have hurt me anyway but I’m always like “phew, good thing I did Judo for a few years”.
Unbelievable to have someone like Nomura win 3 gold given how easy it is to lose. Also, crazy for Karelin to win 3 gold and 1 silver given the physical level of condition you need to be in for wrestling. Let has it right in timing (judo) vs grind(wreatling)
@Stefan Kovacevic it was just before the final showdown with the baddie and Old Boy. I'm talking about the original Korean version, the Hollywood one didn't have it.

Define "better." As far as competition goes, Judo and Sambo are much more restrictive in their ruleset than BJJ. You could argue that BJJ is the more complete art.
@@TheGunnyBadger03xx BJJ is far from a complete art, it teaches almost no throws or takedowns, but judo and sambo do. And judo also teaches basic ground work, though it doesn't go into as much depth as BJJ on the ground.
Everything they said about Judo is true of wrestling when you are watching a dominant and explosive wrestler who is a master at throws. Even more impressive than Judo because there is no gi but a sweaty, near naked target instead.

@star35mm both are very good in their own right. Judo allows the use of explosive force on an opponent. Bjj takes it away from your opponent.

What got me interested in judo was that film, Old Boy. The scene with the Judoka body guard...wow.

In my humble opinion one should learn judo before bjj. If you have you’d understand my reasoning
