It's a great technique - simple and relatively low risk. Learn to combine it with a real and/or fake throw to the rear opposite corner (like kosoto or osoto) and you have the foundations of a good takedown game. Nice instructional.
This seems like a big issue in BJJ circles. It’s obviously a product of conservative behavior as informed by rulesets. I just know we’ve had BJJ guys come train Judo with us and we were all impressed with the ground game, but couldn’t fathom why they kept their hips so far back on the stand up. For a Judoka, that’s basically a first 3 months sort of error. There is almost zero offense that can happen there and, from a purely Judo POV, feels more like a delay of game than anything.
@Andrew Onymous Safer by BJJ standards, yes. But at the same time by relying on that strategy you never develop or, at least, severely limit growth of the stand up game. Outside the tournament context, too, it just opens one up to soccer kicks, etc. The BJJ rule set covers for that vulnerability, of course, but this is why you don’t see people pulling guard in really any other situation/rule set. It boils down to what you’re training for. If you just want to do BJJ, there isn’t anything wrong with it. But if your goal is to move to MMA or you’re concerned with self defense or you transition into, say, a wrestling or Judo rule set, pulling guard loses the majority of its utility.
@@marksechter9377 Sure, and there isn’t anything wrong with those. But even if we toss in the primary two throws Danaher seems to want to popularize: Yoko Tomoe Nage and Uki Otoshi, that still really boils down to about 4 throws. As compared to the canonical Judo lexicon of 67 throws, that’s only 6% of what the tradition has to offer. While that 6% is perfectly valid, it also means there is a 94% that BJJ simply does not explore and one has to wonder how much offensive capability one sacrifices by doing so.
@Andrew Onymous you know pulling guard was one of the main reasons why newaza started to get stunted back in the day. kano was tired of seeing smaller guys not putting in any work standing up and just pulling guard and then waiting for an opportunity to counterattack on ground. 'really bad habit and work ethic', is what the japanese thought of it. i agree.
it's because danaher thinks he's being revolutionary by using a technique that other grappling arts have been doing for decades lol. he thinks he's a genius!
wait... so you bjj guys are ONLY NOW starting to do these things? it took you guys how many years to come to your senses? is this actually revolutionary to you? lol. well maybe bjj stand up will start, 'standing up for itself' now that danaher has decreed such a worthy technique for bjj and his servants.
Yeah forget the fact that Danaher is a huge judo advocate, uses Japanese judo terminology wherever possible, has an Olympic silver medalist 6th dan judoka awarded BJJ black belt Travis Stevens under him, learnt a wealth of knowledge from Stevens and still continues to till this day! Sheesh yeah I guess he doesn't know much judo then lol
Trolls…. BJJ and judo enthusiast here. BJJ is improving its traditional weaknesses, lower limb submissions and takedowns and this is a good thing. It’s always a work in progress. Perhaps as judo players we should get off our high horses time to time and consider what we could do to make judo more popular… or martial… or efficient… we must ask ourselves what are our weaknesses in judo/what are the weaknesses in judo. I personally think we should push kosen judo rule set competitions. It’s better training for the longevity of older athletes and might actually force more judoka to learn newaza… we might even start developing and spreading a large corpus of ground knowledge and back up that often repeated cliche that BJJ is just judo newaza. “BJJ and his servants”… spoken as if judo were any less cultish!!
Some good gif potential in this one
💃🕺
But quality info nonetheless
As with all good tips, it seems so obvious once you say it and see it
Thank you Sir 🤙🏻
Good tip 👍

Single and double legs

@@fennec812 No I agree with you. What I meant was the hips are back to defend against singles and doubles which are go-to takedowns in BJJ.
