Whats up folks you can read this for yourself in the black belt magazine March issue with Dan Inosanto on the Cover. OK OK no one freak out about reading this magazine. If you cant find it ill retype it as they have it on page 123.

Jimmy Pedro says: In his 5 tips on fighting MMA from the guy who has 0 MMA fights from what I know and could find out.

#4 You should learn Judo

judo is the best remedy for martial artist looking to prepare themselves for action in the ring or on the streets because os the breadth and depth of its take downs and mat work. Frankly, judo's treatment of both skill sets trumps those of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and wrestling. In certain situations Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and wrestling have their strengths, but when it comes to being a single, comprehensive art judo RULES.  Privately many Brazilian jiu jitsu black belts will agree; in fact many of the most successful ones come from a judo background. Need proof? watch a few MMA matches in the company of  a skilled Judoka and ask him to point all of the missed opportunities for the foot sweeps while the competitors are struggling for position against the fence or ropes. Sometimes the openings are so obvious the it hurts to just watch. Further more judo can give a fighter a weapon for taking down a opponent who's familiar such as the double leg takedown.


Caution: If you take up Judo dont expect instant gratification. It takes a lil longer to perfect  a throw than it does to learn a triangle choke.

Caveat: If you're a mixed martial artist make sure you train at a judo facility that accepts you and your style. Also make sure the offers hard core judo classes. If your unable to find such a place, you're welcome at my club.

the end.

All i have to say is a few things. A few years ago I put on a show called the " Black Belt Pro am" I personally put up $10,000.00 Cash to the winners. I put a call out to every JUDO this and that from here to the other side of the country. You can say people dint want to come cause at that time Saluo and Xande both were living in Ohio. Also Lovato Jr came from great distance. One judo representative showed up and his first fight was Xande, armbar under 2 minutes.

Next thing is  Lyoto Machida new Bjj black belt beat the plain s**t out of Rameau Sokoudjou  "The African Assassin and this guys JUDO is off the chain. He is a big deal here in San Diego. On that night in that fight it was MMA Jiu jitsu VS MMA Judo. I think someone should talk to Mr. Pedro and explain we are the one who let the fight continue when it hits the ground not stand you back up. Also I dont know about you but I still train after I get thrown. Yea thats might hurt but Ill take a throw if you let me choke you.

Nuff said.   

[BubbaRayGracie]

He still makes some pretty good points here.

[eviladam]

....watch a few MMA matches in the company of  a skilled Judoka...

s**t, go down to your local buffalo wild wings and ask any guy who hasn't trained in anything and he'll point out all kinds of mistakes the fighters are making, and what they should do to win.

or even better, MMA fighters love it when spectators give them advice in person right after the fight.

[Truman Birch]

then why do judo guys bitch when you touch their face while rolling?



Don't vote for Pedro!

So what if you can foot sweep your opponent to the ground?

What's someone like Jimmy Pedro going to do to Roger Gracie after he foot sweeps him?  He'll be tapping in minutes.

[Joemoplata]

Well, what do you expect the guy to say though?  Dude's a famous Judo guy!  He's going to plug his sport.  He's not going to say "Well, Judo has great throws but BJJ has more emphasis on finishing the fight". 

I would like to hear what the Camarillo bros have to say about this, or Rhadi.  People that are highly skilled in both sports.  Their opinion carries more weight.

more like seconds

Yoshida's Judo really helped him against Crocop and Thompson.

Yeah, you'd expect him to be partisan.  However, saying Brazilian BBs will candidly admit that judo is better is bunk.

Jimmy's comments might make it more difficult for him to peddle mats.

[Justin Garcia]

I am a green belt in Judo. It clearly has given me the skills displayed in the raping of my MMA opponents.

[Oompa]

Judo only exists because Kano wanted to get rid of the brutal bully image  that JiuJitsukas had . So he took the softer side of what he new and made a gentler sport to spread around the world.

[turkey sandwich]

I don't think he meant to bash BJJ or wrestling at all, just point something out.  He even wrestled through college.
