Takedowns Judo VS Wrestling

[Jason Hyatt]

I love judo and I wish I had been able to focus much more on it. You only get so much time to train, though, and jiu jitsu won. I still have the occasional fantasy about taking a sabbatical for a year to go and train at the Kodokan for a year. Besides a lack of time and money I may have to chloroform the woman and stuff her in a suitcase to make that happen, but still... She might enjoy Japan once she's there.

What is Judo without a gi

Isnt that the same as saying "whats jiu jitsu without the gi"?

I love wrestling, probably because I lived and breathed it through high school and college. But.. I have to admit I have trouble against Judo players. They are so good at weight management in tie ups, clinches.. etc.
It makes it harder to set up my double leg/single leg combo's when the other guy has enough knowledge to keep you up at face level.

Cool perspective. This is a good thread. I honestly don't know which is better. But I would say knowing both would probably make you a monster in a clinch.


The following series of posts made me laugh:
