Self-Defense Using Judo



Self-defense using #judo – I make a few assumptions here. Self-defense is more complex than this. Also, if the person attacking you is skilled, things change.

Judo is a self-improvement tool! That being said, here are some self-defense tips and ideas:

1. Always keep your hands up.
2. Assume that most people are right-handed. You can usually tell what side they are dominant to based on which leg they are leading with.

Part one: Circle to their weak side and expect a looping hand. Close the distance, pin their dominant hand with an overhook, and use your dominant hand to tie the collar. Turn throw time! Or o uchi, de ashi, and a huge ko soto gake.

Part two: Fake double leg with a level change to avoid strikes. Climb up the body and take the back. From here, there are many options. Te guruma, or a high crotch, is one.

Remember, as a grappler, the goal is to close the distance before getting hit in the face.
