r/WrestleJudoJitsu

I need to get this off my chest because I see it in almost every BJJ gym I drop into. People step onto the mat, stand completely upright, and immediately reach for a heavy collar tie.

If you are going against anyone with a decent scholastic or freestyle wrestling background, you are just handing them an invitation to level change and snatch a single leg. When you stand tall and pull down on someone’s head, you are directing their force straight into their quads, which easily supports the weight. Unless you are actively using that collar tie to snap down into a front headlock or clearing it to hit an arm drag, it is completely dead weight.

For those of you blending Judo and wrestling grips, what are your favorite ways to punish people who lazily spam the collar tie? Personally, I’ve been loving changing angles to clear the hand and entering a Russian tie/2-on-1 to set up an inside trip or a rear body lock. Let’s talk hand-fighting mechanics.

My standup is all over the place now, wrestling wants me low and heavy. Judo wants me upright for throws. Bjj wants me somewhere in between I keep hesitating between a shot and a throw and just end up doing nothing and getting taken down. my posture is a disaster, one round I'm bent over like a wrestler keeping my hips back, next round I'm standing straight for judo and suddenly I'm getting blasted with double legs. for anyone who trains all three do you focus on one at a time or try to blend them together also how do you stop mixing up grips between gi and no gi.

Hi everyone, I’m on track to earn my taekwondo black belt in August (assuming all goes to plan), as per a deal I made with my dad once I get my black belt in taekwondo I can start doing an additional sport to TKD and I’m pretty set on Judo. Does anyone have any advice for me as far as choosing a school (dojo I believe is the correct term, but the korean term is dojang) physical attributes, equipment, etc.

I was going to post this in the Judo specific sub Reddit but there’s some karma requirement and I don’t use reddit much so Idrk what that mean, I hope I didn’t do something wrong by posting this here

Thanks in advance!

i see a lot of people on here asking how to mix wrestling, judo, and bjj and the answer is simple. You can't learn all three at the same time and expect to be good at any of them. Pick one standup style for the season and stick with it. If you're doing gi, focus on judo grips and foot sweeps. if you're doing no gi, wrestle, trying to switch mid match will just get you taken down . What worked for me was wrestling in the winter and judo in the summer. It gave my brain time to reset between seasons also helps to have a go to takedown for each style, one shot, one throw, one pull to guard. don't try to have a dozen moves.

Sensei Megumi Ishikawa came to High Noon Judo to teach a seminar supporting MASTERS athletes on the road to the 2028 Olympic Games — and to help grow judo here in the DMV.

There's a guy at my gym who is always moving, like never stands still even for a second constantly bouncing, circling, snapping, faking. By the time I figure out what he's doing he's already taking my back or throwing me. if I try to match his pace I gas out in two minutes. if I try to slow him down he just keeps moving. coach says to control the grips and make him carry my weight but he just shakes his arms loose. any strategy for dealing with someone who just never stops, also how do you force a pace that works for you instead of playing their game.
