To add to my comment below, it is told that Saigo Shiro who was one of the two first people to receive shodan rank in judo, was famous for being almost un-throwable and always landed on his feet or face down. This was when he was being taught by the founder, Kano Jigoro.
It happens so fast, so cleanly, if you blink you miss it, even when you slow it down and witness the agility, you can barely comprehend how he did it. This is grappling.
ummmm . . . help me understand how the techniques in this video are *_UKEMI_* (passive/falling with safety) and not *_BOGYO_* (a *_defensive_* move that in some cases leads to a *_counter-ATTACK_* that risks potential, seroius/fatal injury)
Ukemi is not just about receiving the technique but surviving it safely. I didn't see much room for a reasonable counter attack, the falls here were simply to avoid a major ippon. In the dojo setting, this would be and should be frowned upon but at this level of competitive play, the participants are willing to push their bodies to their maximum effort and risk injury or worse. Ushiro and mae ukemi are done just for these reasons....As an aside, ukemi saved my life, I was moving furniture down a stair well, I mis-stepped and took a tumble down a flight of stairs. I was more embarrassed than hurt. I survived to laugh about it and go about my day, ukemi is an amazing concept!
Not to be derogatory or anything, but dose judo alone have any real world applications. Ofc its healthy ect ect. But like ,could you use judo to protect and or fight
@@interestedspectator15 I think it could be used more as a recovery from a grab, knowing how and being able to reverse yourself onto the offensive side mid air is pretty useful, plus safety from a direct throw onto land could save your life.
@@interestedspectator15 yeah, well when learning for a black belt, in Serbia at least, they teach you how to defend against armed opponents and stuff like that. plus one of the people that trained judo in my dojo, got into a fight, threw the guy and the impact killed him. so i'd say it's applicable in real world situations but ofc only as self defense and last resort.
@@interestedspectator15 I’ve used judo technique for defence several times in my life. Always in service of protecting myself or others and never for aggression other than knowing that I have training to rely on and speaking my mind without fear. It’s never let me down.
I've only ever watched a few judo video compilations, but until right now, I didn't know you could evade the throw by turning it and landing on your feet or stomach. That's a new level of acrobatic to me. Very cool video.
I didn’t know you could flip and land a throw like that until I did it out of reflex, Im still chasing that high of being in the air for a second then thinking “Wait why am I still standing”
Such athleticism.. ive never tried this, but did see some of this at my tournament yesterday.. ill just take the L and stay safe.. over 40 and have no business attempting dangerous maneuvers.. but much props to these guys!
I can only imagine these dudes must have the utmost respect for one another after one is stunted enough to be thrown, and then FLIPS LIKE A CAT and lands the shit Crazy impressive
Back in the mid 1960s, in Japan, the judoka of the Dai Nippon Butokukai were doing this sort of evasion and were losing by ippon because the Kodokan and All Japan Judo organization were trying to discourage these moves. Although it may be dangerous in lover level competition, it is great to see such athletic skill today in the highest levels of competition. I wonder where we would be if that movement had been allowed to flourish back in the 60s.
still dangerous even at the *_highest_* level of competition - 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, Yoshida of Japan, a former world champion, broke his arm doing a single-handed handstand while trying to escape an uchimata attack from Honorato of Brazil
@@miraclemax08 Many athletes broke their arm during submissions, many athletes get unconcious because of chokes - lets ban all of these ! That is your logic
@@xXIceShowerXx no one said *_ANYTHING_* about banning any techniques - read and *_THINK_* before you reply - risk of injury is present at *_EVERY_* level competition, even the *_HIGHEST_* where you find atheletes who are the fittest, best trained and with the greatest experience
"I should have just taken the FALL." FIFY. The sooner you take a fall, the better time you have to determine how you fall, where you land, and what counter you can do in the air or after landing.
I was so confused for a second because in freestyle or Greco-Roman wrestling you don't have to land them on their back to score. Exposure is what counts. Just about every one of these would've scored in wrestling. Now that I understand, these are incredible.
Prime example of why Breakfalls are incredibly important to train. Breakfalls can also be turned into counters for many martial arts styles when used correctly.
Whenever I was about to be thrown, this crossed my mind, however I always avoided doing it because I thought it would led to accidents. Seeing this video changed my mind. Seems pretty safe actually.
that's why i never understood judo.i trained it for 2 years as a kid and in a real life fight situation it wouldn't have helped me much. at least not if i compared to what i would have learned in a more realistic fighting technique like f.ex. real grappling or some more combat oriented stuff
@@hazardeur Yeah I'm a karate guy who also does MMA. I was lucky my karate teacher focussed on combatives rather than non-stop kata and touch contact fighting. And even then I had to modify it for MMA for real combat. Judo is very good, like karate. But because of the ruleset it's hard to practice it in a way that makes it useful for overall combat, especially without a gi.
@@hazardeur Well to be fair, a throw is already uncomfortable of you fall on a mat. Imagine being thrown onto concrete, and given the speed of these fighters, I think they are often in advantage against inexperienced or less experienced fighters
I honestly think this is what happens in all martial arts tournaments - competitors start milking the rules, which eventually cripples the martial art. We see it in sports fencing - which is basically close quarter tennis without a ball. We see it karate, where winning a match by losing the fight is a possibility, as we saw at the Olympics. We see it in BJJ, where pulling guard or seductively swinging your backside against the opponent is a winning strategy in a match. And this here... I am an aikidoka (I know, I know), I have no experience in judo other than practicing and sparring with some judokas, but, honestly, if I were one of the fighters in the video here, I'd rather take the fall and lose the point than try to do some high risk stunt, where I still am on the ground, facing down while my opponent is sitting on me. (And I actually can do stunts like these, but they are stunts, not combat.)
If they had fallen on their backs, and, say, there was no ippon for some reason (e.g. bad referee call, or BJJ rules), they would be in a worse position, as they will likely get pinned. In many of these cases the guy who fell was pretty much free to spring back up. It is like creating a scramble while still in the air rather than wait and fight from your back to get to a scramble and stand up.
As someone who knows nothing about martial art, judo looks very hard to learn. Knowing that there’s someone that can do these things in judo, is incredible.
@AZ Desert Prepper When I first got started in Judo I was fortunate enough to have an instructor that taught us the basics by using purely defensive moves while sparring. It was like being an unwilling and slew footed dance student, but his aim was to teach us how not to get hurt and learn the fundamental physics of body movement.

A man with a missing arm walked into a judo dojo and asked to be instructed as a student thinking he would be turned away. The instructor had his new student practice one move over and over again. Getting frustrated, the student said Is there nothing else to learn? The instructor said, Just keep practicing. Then, one day, the instructor said: I signed you up for a tournament.

@@tatumergo3931 Actually, yes. Although, the one that comes to mind is a bit more personal. However, since you ask and it was on my mind recently, I share it with you: A friend once jumped on my back. I have no idea why. Before he, I or our mutual friend knew it that friend was on the ground. I didn't think about it at the time but nothing was disturbed and no one was injured. We were between a kitchen island and a glass table. I didn't throw my friend to the ground with force because I didn't want to hurt him or damage any of my other friend's things. Everyone was surprised but until now, no one noted my situational awareness. Causing damage and hurting people is a childish display of strength. Self-control and discipline at a moment's notice is the better aspiration. But, we're all built differently, I suppose.
This is beautiful, like dancing. Even slowed down its hard to tell who is throwing who and who is getting the upper hand from the exchange. Unbelievable that they produce this in feirce competition and a credit to their skill abd dicipline.
It's true to an extent. Jujitsu is based more on reversing the energy they used against you for self-defense, and it's not restructured just for competition as much as a sport. Just like Bushido, they must have to focus very hard on stamina to compete like they do.
@@JuxZeil that i all sounds pretty true to me. But I was also under the impression that jujitsu practice starts on your knees. Judo just often happens to be paired with jujitsu, because they go well together.
@@KurruptCarrot I'm not professionally trained or anything, but as a guess I'd say that's because Jujitsu is a very close close fighting style and it can train out the "backing off" habit. It would also lower your centre of gravity to help you as a learner, I can see it being a good way to stop you from spreading your feet/stance too wide. If I remember right Jujitsu doesn't really use a lot of kicks and sweeps, and instead the legs are used as the leverage on the opponent and for trips so you keep your weight centered and on the ground as much as possible. That's just my take on it mind and I wouldn't know who to trust to ask.
@@tatumergo3931 You're right, I'm not that young so the stuff I'd previously seen was the more Japanese regional stuff, I was watching some of the UK selection games last month and noticed there was a lot more mat work than the stuff that used to be on Euro Sport in the 90's. Very similar to Judo in flow, but far more restrictive in holds and locks. Because of the points system maybe?
Oh my god, I have to wait until I am in my sixties to learn what I always thought possible but was never taught when I trained. So good to see and you are so right it has a beautiful art quality to it.
Eu pratiquei judô para melhorar minha respiração pois eu tinha bronquite foi excelente, nesse sentido todas elas são exercícios excelentes para condicionamento físico e disciplinar, mas como defesa pessoal acho a melhor pois vc aprende técnicas de queda e solo, muito similar ao jiu-jitsu mas na minha opinião o judô tem essa característica de luta em pé e solo.
When your competing against guys that can do this type of athletic maneuver. It is shocking and it takes your soul away because you hit the maneuver perfectly and the guy Houdini'ed his way out. It defies logic and an awful feeling comes over you "this might be a hard match. This guy's a freak".
It's not about how hard you can hit. It's about not getting hit. Evasion first, reactivity, rather than activity and striking first, is the backbone of all good martial arts. Yes, pressure is important but I find it is almost always better to react more than you act. Self defense baby! Plus, in many schools it is a very strict rule to never attack first.
While I admire the speed, reflexes and athletism of these moves, they are exactly what leads to injury. Far better to break one's fall correctly, avoid injury, take a loss and then move on to the next fight and next tournament instead of suffering from a broken clavicle
Also once they retire from Judo, lots of those throw evasions ends up with people taking their back while their flat on their bellys, terrible in MMA, BJJ or Catch wrestling, pretty much every other combat sport or situation.
@@chopwet but what's the point of becoming a champion next tournament, if you can get fucked up this tournament and take first place, especially at an Olympic level
These guys spend hours upon hours getting slammed on matts just so that they can withstand this kind of abuse. If this were just for recreation of fun, then I would agree. No point getting injured. Break the fall correctly. You have to take risks in combat sports in order to win. Judo is no exception.
Its just another form of jigatia, a fluent form, preventing the ipon or wazari relocating your position of fall which is a good form If you have the ability or you are allowed to control your fall. Good level of form and ability.

Once got jumped in nyc by 3 guys threw an empty garbage can at one guy. Swept th other guy n third guy took off.. memories
Blows my mind seeing people get out of throws like this. I've done BJJ on and off over the past 8 years (I still consider myself low level and more of a casual enjoyer), but these escapes damn near defy physics to me lol
@@JuxZeil what do you mean by this? I dont remember ever doing any sort of exercise with a harness doing bjj. That said, I also did capoeira in college and that was a BIG lesson in momentum and weight shifting. It helped me take my boxing to another level.
@@shamfyre I'm not professionally trained, I just grew up on a very rough council estate here un the UK, so it's just my 2 cents telling me that it's the best way for you to accurately, and eventually precisely work out YOUR center of gravity as it moves around your body. I'd say you can get the same result with a training partner and other equipment...but holding your weight while you work it out will quickly drain them. When your at the levels in this vid and beyond you need strive for mastery in all aspects and facets of a discipline. I would assume once you get to a certain level you can assess your opponent better in order to achieve that balance required to counter out of the move and if you can reverse it and give yourself an opening. As the saying goes "Know yourself, know your enemy". It all depends on how hard you want to go into it really though, and I would deffo look at the way different teachers/trainers do it.
@@shamfyre have you ever seen the wall climb harnesses? You can get a beginner one I believe, that has a hold of both sides that I think would make for a very good balance training tool. The only downer is you couldn't do much in the way of spin training hooked up I guess.
This is what happens when two things line up, the thrower is strong enough to brute force a throw, and the receiver is quick-witted enough to improvise a solution.
"What? You're going to try to your hips up under me for throw while I beat you down"- Bruce Lee. I think that grappling has its place but be mindful that the moment that you grab you make yourself extremely vulnerable.
Reminds me of my time as a judoka with the BJC GOING FOR MY BLACK BELT UNDER MR M Otani in Sothporth summer school many years ago me and another brown belt were pretty good at Seio Nage our escape method was to turn completely over. And attack with the same throw this flip flopped a few times until we ran out of mat.. Would have been brilliant to get a video of it Happy days I wonder if any one remembers it

Oh my god, I have to wait until I am in my sixties to learn what I always thought possible but was never taught when I trained. So good to see and you are so right it has a beautiful art quality to it.
They're like cats who always land on their feet
Top, acho o Judô a melhor arte marcial. Incrível a velocidade de raciocínio e do corpo.
a melhor para que?
@@josedanielgalvan9237, fazemos arte marcial para qual finalidade, não sendo desportiva?
@@ricardo42281 , defesa pessoal e /ou relationamento social. (Entretenimiento e saûde os considero dentro do conceito de la finalidade desportiva).
Eu pratiquei judô para melhorar minha respiração pois eu tinha bronquite foi excelente, nesse sentido todas elas são exercícios excelentes para condicionamento físico e disciplinar, mas como defesa pessoal acho a melhor pois vc aprende técnicas de queda e solo, muito similar ao jiu-jitsu mas na minha opinião o judô tem essa característica de luta em pé e solo.
@@ricardo42281 . Si, muito completo. Mas o kombat Sambo ou o Kudo sao ainda mais completos.
No one:

I finally found the proper definition of "tiger mode"
When your competing against guys that can do this type of athletic maneuver. It is shocking and it takes your soul away because you hit the maneuver perfectly and the guy Houdini'ed his way out. It defies logic and an awful feeling comes over you "this might be a hard match. This guy's a freak".
Великие бойцы, слава им
..,чтоб не было разницы в нации
Absolutely fucking spectacular. Someone has to make sure that Lex Fridman sees this! He loves Judo and martial arts.
It's not about how hard you can hit. It's about not getting hit. Evasion first, reactivity, rather than activity and striking first, is the backbone of all good martial arts. Yes, pressure is important but I find it is almost always better to react more than you act. Self defense baby! Plus, in many schools it is a very strict rule to never attack first.
Strike first strike hard no mercy
Grande idea questa raccolta! Che grandi atleti e tecnici, sia quelli che portano la tecnica che quelli che la evitano. Bravissimi!
"Ima jump on you like a spider monkey!"
As a non martial artist I have a hard time following this even slowed down these guys are impressive!
Wow . Fantastic . I love Judo. Crasy moves
This is an art of Judo!😆😆
a lot of these wouldnt look out of place in an action movie, really cool stuff
that impressive.. both the takedowns and the evasions.. world class
So those moves i saw in some comic was realistic after all
While I admire the speed, reflexes and athletism of these moves, they are exactly what leads to injury. Far better to break one's fall correctly, avoid injury, take a loss and then move on to the next fight and next tournament instead of suffering from a broken clavicle
Look at the arena... athletes of the highest level will sacrifice anything to be the best
Also once they retire from Judo, lots of those throw evasions ends up with people taking their back while their flat on their bellys, terrible in MMA, BJJ or Catch wrestling, pretty much every other combat sport or situation.
@@sebasdavis8081 true but breaking bones puts you out of tournaments etc it's better to break your fall properly to avoid injury.
@@chopwet but what's the point of becoming a champion next tournament, if you can get fucked up this tournament and take first place, especially at an Olympic level
These guys spend hours upon hours getting slammed on matts just so that they can withstand this kind of abuse. If this were just for recreation of fun, then I would agree. No point getting injured. Break the fall correctly. You have to take risks in combat sports in order to win. Judo is no exception.
Its just another form of jigatia, a fluent form, preventing the ipon or wazari relocating your position of fall which is a good form If you have the ability or you are allowed to control your fall. Good level of form and ability.
Nova modalidade no Judo..."saída furtiva". Ótimo vídeo, parabéns.
It's like watching a falling cat.
Judo was invented by cats 🐈
Yes, Siamese cats, mine was a raccoon and anything on 4 legs killer, my dog and other cat got up when she sauntered into the room and they'd be like,"you want my seat? No? We'll be in the kitchen if you need us, lol.
Beautiful.
Думаю, что не каждая кошка так сможет)
My 4 year old boy just started Judo at a great school and he loves these videos. I can't wait to see how well he does.
Awesome he's starting at a young age 👍
Очень красиво!!!! Спасибо бойцам!!!!
If don't practice ukemi well, get hurt badly...
great athletic ability
This is actually crazier then a lot of throws 😲
Opponent 1: I threw you!
Opponent 2: no, you helped me reposition for my attack!
"Everybody has a plan til they get punched in the mouth" - Mike Tyson
This is awesome, though! 👌 👏
Everybody quoting Mike Tyson until they got slammed into the ground.
0:39 this was funny to me lmao
"ooh that leg is open"
"lemme hook that leg"
"gimme that leg"
"okay imma roll over now"
一歩間違えたら大怪我だわ
I never thought this was possible or could be even utilised in Judo. Suoerb
that happens when thrower's hikite and tsurite are not enough.When they are enough,uke won't be able to avoid waza.
That's what happens when sore ga ore no nindo da!
Judo has now understood a crucial part of stability
Действительно красиво🔥💯🔥
Very impressive. High level of athleticism and flexibility.
yeah, on concrete that knee will broke like hell. cant walk for years for sure.
This is the exact reason why they do the thing on tatami 🤣
better to have a broken knee than a broken spine.
To go with the throw and full rotate in to counter throw is just crazy and amazing
Это тоже мастерство
Ловкие ребята. Это сейчас стереотип, мол, борцы все грузные и неповоротливые... А на самом деле в детско-юношеских школах САМБО/Дзю-До такую гимнастическую поворотливость закладывали, что позавидовали бы футболисты-теннисисты и другие вместе взятые!
Amazing compilation! Man, i want to train in judo!
This is just bad ukemi. Should not negate the ippon.
No Ippon as not thrown on his back with impetus and control. As for bad Ukemi they did look hurt so no problem!
What a nonsense lol. Do you even understand what an ippon represents? If you do you’d know there is no ippon.
@@dominus6224 what you talking about ~Uke was not thrown on to his back with impetus and control therefore it would not receive an Ippon.
@@paulfrost8952 Dominus agrees with you that there is no ippon. He just phrased it weirdly. Or did you accidentally reply to the wrong comment?
@@MrTheWaterbear agreed. Originally commenter is wrong though, no ippon. Some of these landed in Mae ukemi
This is some incredible athleticism and ability.
これらは柔道ではなく曲芸😂 日本ではこういうことは絶対に教えない。
てか 危ないからやるなって教わった。
日本人はいつも文句、だから負けたらルールを変えます
足の攻撃は廃止がした理由は日本人がレスラーに負けるからでした。だから柔道は弱いです。
@@takayama111 事実誤認だし、論点がずれすぎです。あなたはどこの国の人ですか？
ちなみに、日本人が金メダルを取った後にルール変更されたオリンピック種目はたくさんあります。オリンピックの中心はヨーロッパですから逆らえません。
@@Couch-Tomato 柔道は全日本柔道連盟の支配です。レスラーが柔道初めて足の取るで勝っていたので日本人は足を取るを禁止しました。逆背負も日本人が負けてましたので禁止しました。今はBJJで本当の柔道ができます。柔道がルール多いですからMMAで通用がしません。
0:38 Can we take a moment to appreciate the TRIPLE REVERSAL?!
I'm awestruck with the spinning bodies and abrupt manneuvers
My spine hurts just by looking at it.
My toes do...
Never seen a uniform so perfectly tailor made for the job.
Good to be young.. I started judo.. 1965.. great stuff.. then karate 1974.. then jiujitsu n boxing.. got attempted robbed like 3 times n like 3 fights.. all ended in less then a minute. Once got jumped in nyc by 3 guys threw an empty garbage can at one guy. Swept th other guy n third guy took off.. memories
Wish I could be this athletic and I’ll be shouting parkour all the time. Well, I can still yell out parkour leaping out of bed 🤣
nice body control and awareness
So this is what happens when incredible athleticism and technique meet
Good video. Two body problems in this sort of contest are incredibly difficult.
Like ninjas. These are amazing. Saw an evasion for the first time in a Captain America Marvel movie. Was amazed then.
They knew when to press the throw button to escape at the right time.
Blows my mind seeing people get out of throws like this. I've done BJJ on and off over the past 8 years (I still consider myself low level and more of a casual enjoyer), but these escapes damn near defy physics to me lol
Get in a harness and find how YOUR center of gravity can be manipulated and take it from there. 👍
@@JuxZeil what do you mean by this? I dont remember ever doing any sort of exercise with a harness doing bjj.
That said, I also did capoeira in college and that was a BIG lesson in momentum and weight shifting. It helped me take my boxing to another level.
@@shamfyre I'm not professionally trained, I just grew up on a very rough council estate here un the UK, so it's just my 2 cents telling me that it's the best way for you to accurately, and eventually precisely work out YOUR center of gravity as it moves around your body. I'd say you can get the same result with a training partner and other equipment...but holding your weight while you work it out will quickly drain them.
When your at the levels in this vid and beyond you need strive for mastery in all aspects and facets of a discipline.
I would assume once you get to a certain level you can assess your opponent better in order to achieve that balance required to counter out of the move and if you can reverse it and give yourself an opening.
As the saying goes "Know yourself, know your enemy".
It all depends on how hard you want to go into it really though, and I would deffo look at the way different teachers/trainers do it.
@@JuxZeil the thing is, I still don't understand what you mean by a harness. That can mean a lot of things.
@@shamfyre have you ever seen the wall climb harnesses? You can get a beginner one I believe, that has a hold of both sides that I think would make for a very good balance training tool. The only downer is you couldn't do much in the way of spin training hooked up I guess.
Awesome! I'd like to see more defense compilations!
The gentle art of folding someone's clothes while they're still wearing them ... _if_ you can get them to sit still long enough.
This is what happens when two things line up, the thrower is strong enough to brute force a throw, and the receiver is quick-witted enough to improvise a solution.
Would it be too boring to just say I’m impressed? Not sure what else to say. Those moves are really inpressive
What an amazing compilation!
"What? You're going to try to your hips up under me for throw while I beat you down"- Bruce Lee.
I think that grappling has its place but be mindful that the moment that you grab you make yourself extremely vulnerable.
pretty sure I saw these guys on Cirque du Soleil. 10/10 would watch again
Damn, they be flying and spinning here. RESPECT SHEESH
That looks sick. Bet it tires you out faster tho. Like bobbing and weaving in boxing instead guarding.
...and when that throws became no points manouvers , the Judo became ballet the legend tolds...
Reminds me of my time as a judoka with the BJC GOING FOR MY BLACK BELT UNDER MR M Otani in Sothporth summer school many years ago me and another brown belt were pretty good at Seio Nage our escape method was to turn completely over. And attack with the same throw this flip flopped a few times until we ran out of mat.. Would have been brilliant to get a video of it
Happy days I wonder if any one remembers it
