  • In this video, ‪@Shigashi84‬ and myself break down what we think are the best takedowns in Martial Arts! With his background in Judo, Wrestling, Sambo and more and my background in Karate, I would say we are more than qualified to talk about these awesome (and some... not so awesome?) trips, throws and sweeps! We will rank the following takedowns and throws:
    Front Headlock Takedown
    Ankle Pick
    Knee Pick
    Koshi Garuma
    Scissor Takedown (the one Cung Le does)
    Tomo Nagae
    Double Leg
    Single Leg
    Ogoshi
    Osoto Gari
    Foot Sweeps
    Arm Drag
    Ouchi Gari
    Ippon Seoi Nage
    and Suplex!
    Big thanks to ‪@Shigashi84‬ for helping me out with this tier list!

      Theiy aren't that hard. It's a go to for me. I'm 5' 6" and once I get a guy to lower his level while i have a collar tie, thai clinch or a good lapel grip if he leaves that leg out there for me it's pretty high %. I use a Russian variant also that start by trapping the foot with your foot, then pushing him backwards and when he goes to catch his balance he usualy spread legs to far and yhat lowers his posture and then go for the traditional pick.

  • @igotmydd214
    @igotmydd214 3 года назад +92

    The 1st throw I learned was the Osoto Gari. It was a fundamentals class, the instructor was this Sergeant Major (black in judo/brown in bjj), and he picked me bc I was the tallest in the class and a vet. He instantaneously knocked me down flat on my back. It is this memory that always convicts me to polish break falls.
    I really feel the foot sweep (sasae) should be S tier. Almost broke a rib when I got hit it. I fell on a matted cage and I still felt like I fell down a flight of stairs; I can't imagine it on concrete.If someone can master it, then they will look like Yoda.

      Osoto is the first throw I learned in TKD as a kid. I personally have to rank it S tier for the sole fact I have used it on all my girlfriends.
      You modify it a little bit and go in close, far arm on shoulder, near arm hips/waist(to catch her before she falls all the way), and then go for the throw. It is as close to the movie sweep her off her feet as you can get.

    As a Judo black belt and former Mixed Martial Artist, and someone who has worked security for the last 12 years in high risk environments, I have been in hundreds of real life physical altercations. One of the BEST takedowns EVER has proven for me to be the Osoto Gari. It is super simple and easy to learn and master, it can be one of the most devastating and punishing takedowns or one of the most gentle depending on how much leverage you decide to incorporate, it bypasses the guard and puts you right into knee on belly, and it has a low risk factor if it doesnt go your way. It is easily adapted to no-gi with a single collar tie grip. Not to mention it is a technique that requires a little less room than other techniques making it great for close quarter crowded spaces, AND it can be easily incorporated into team based takedowns and other strategies. Osoto Gari definately deserves to be on the S tier. No question about it.

    • @billh6010
      @billh6010 3 года назад +15

    The Tomo Nage (aka the "Captain Kirk") is incredibly easy to learn, as a Taekwondo guy I got taught it in *one* training session with a mate who did Judo… and used it IRL soon after (at school, by some steps).
    _Funnily enough he couldn't pick up roundhouse head kicks as easily_ - and a turning kick is useful in a grapple.
    As for the Tomo Nage/Sacrifice Throw if you have any gymnastics skill you can continue your roll and pop up back on your feet afterwards which is useful and looks _really cool_ - careful where you put your feet upon landing though.

      Yup, UFC has really detracted from the importance of good throws on to a hard surface. To be honest, people can withstand alot of punches in most street fights, but a good throw on to back, back of head or shoulder etc will end someone (back of neck kills people easily).

    I think you may be right on the Osoto Gari being good at teaching you the basic principles. I remember it was one of the first techniques I ever learned, and I was thereafter always mindful of (un)balance, position, posture (both physical and mental).

    This one was a lot of fun. Great guest. I remember, back in my 20's, the flying scissor takedown was my best opener. Nobody outside of Judo had ever seen anything like it, and being airborne while executing it made it so fast and flashy that it was a real ego-boost. The only time it failed for me was when facing a fast TKD guy, who shuffled back fast enough to completely avoid being there when my legs clipped. It instead turned into a belly flop. We both had a good laugh.

    Really cool to hear the discussions. Ankle pick is actually my favourite especially on bigger players. But to get over the distance a classic combo is to do Ko Uchi Gari (minor inner sweep) or even O Uchi Gari (as seen in this vid) and as they go to lift their leg out the way, stick to it and feed their ankle into your hand. I like it because a lot of off balancing can be super hard but pull them towards you to the right or left and they 99% WILL post a leg forward.

    Much respect for this list. Great info from Higashi Sensei. The fact you're covering the most common (across grappling disciplines) throws/takedowns makes sense. Not going to argue with the rankings you have. I could get behind those, just thought I'd add a couple essentials that I think should be in the list. These are slightly more advanced and thus a little harder to get good at, but (due to their common usage in MMA), harai-goshi (sweeping hip), o-guruma (big wheel), and uchi-mata (inner thigh) should be considered.
    Downsides of sweeping-hip or big wheel (in keeping with this topic):
    * throwing from 1 leg requires greater balance and control
    * exposes your back to opponent (but a little less awkwardly than an o-goshi depending on variation)
    BIG upside of these (or why to add them to list):
    * a failed o-goshi or koshi-guruma can often be salvaged with some sweeping or springing hip action, making these essential "continuations" of those techniques (o-guruma being tends to happen when they miss the sweeping hip)
    * can be enhanced with makikomi finishes to increase impact, and maintain close control on landing (and get the 3x coolness-multiplier the sound of air escaping uke's lungs percussively)
    Not to be forgotten, ashi-variant uchi-mata is a worthy addition to the list. So many headlocks and neck-and-shoulder (standing kesa-gatami style triangles) end with a torque/twist and a thigh-lift. It's almost instinctive on the thrower's part. Not usually as pretty as the other hip throws, but effective and relatively safe.
    Also had to laugh when Higashi Sensei questioned why we teach o-soto-gari first! Here are the reasons I can come up with:
    * "Well duh... cause that's how my sensei taught me!"
    * Concussion-generator-gari is difficult to master, hard to take a fall from, and way more dangerous than kane-basami, so if a student comes back after their first class, they're a "keeper."
    * It's GREAT self-defense tool, and an easy concept to understand, so if they never come back, at least they learned a life-skill.
    * What would you rather teach first, hiza-guruma? That's for their second class.

    For me a single leg to some kind of trip/sweep always worked amazing. I'm usually shorter than most of my opponents. Once I pick up the leg their is so much I can do with it, usually just a step through drive puts them down but if they counter that I'm ready for a sweep, or to even slide my hands to the ankle and just sprint forward while throwing his foot above my head if I have enough room. I was never a double leg guy. I had good success with a single leg and if i didn't get the guy down I was typically still standing where as a failed double leg seems to put you in a bad spot more often. Sure you may eat a strike or two while working the single leg but if you are cautious, good and fast you will get it 75% of the time and if the guy is committing to his strikes you will have an even better chance. If you are working hard you won't give him much time to get off any good strikes anyway. I don't have the best fight/grappling record, I won a couple medals though, no traditional wrestling experience but I was able to take down university team wrestlers and some of the best pro top (3 mma) guys in Canada in lower weight classes 145 - 135 with single leg variations. I was walking around at 155-180, depends on the time, and I have used single legs to take down 260 pound juice monkey's that were beginner grapplers or UFC level MMA guys in my own weight class. It always worked for me in training, fighting, grappling and even self defense situations. In regards to Judo take downs they work very well if you don't know the guy is a judoka. My #1 training partner back in the day who was a high level mma pro started doing a lot of Judo, but I knew it and knew he was going to be trying it so I kept my hips away from him but if you don't know ya you are going down hard.

For me its decades which is more than a lot of people so the risk for me to do this throw combo is less than a white belt doing a Ouchi or Ogoshi. Most Judoka have that one throw that they really specialize in just like a lot of JiuJitsuka have that one position or submission they specialize in, mine is Uchi Mata and I can show plenty of follow ups off failed attempts, ankle pick, knee pick, kouchi gari. The key is pick a throw and then have plenty of combos off it because after about 6 months one throw attempt won't be enough it will have to be fakes and combos.

    As a wrestler seeing an ankle pick so low is weird.

    This was interesting. My favs for a street situation: Blast double, double, single, duck under to the back.

    A drop tai otoshi is certainly among my favorites for gi training. Snap downs to ankle picks are satisfying as hell, as well as single to double leg. Also, if you’re getting guillotined on your doubles, you’re not controlling their legs as you fall. You move them across after you begin falling, in a way that would land you in side control. If you’re across their body, they won’t finish a guillotine, and you’re less likely to land on your own head.

    I've found that one of the best takedowns is "Your father never loved you." :p

    I’m glad the Yoel ankle pick got a mention, just a crazy moment

    Military martial arts ranking tiers would be pretty sick.
