]]>Great video for modern MMA artists to learn to understand the art of Judo, again in competition the rules change from sport to sport. Olympic Judo may be not MMA or UFC, this is due to the fact that many athletes have died in Judo over the years, so the rules had to change. BJJ is made from Judo with a bit of Brazilian spice and a bit of Gracie's flavour... The Japanese had it all first, so hes a great place to learn how to not kill someone. Do you want to train in sport or in life?
]]>Hope your Japanese is good.
A little info the video:
Mifune Sensei was one of the last 10th dans (the highest ranking) in Judo. He performs one technique after another, many in slow motion. Those who think 'aiki' is something only found in Aikido will be shocked at Mifune's effortless throws. Includes countless technique demonstration plus a fascinating randori sequence where old Mifune Sensei takes on his top students who try with all their might to throw their teacher.

Judo is deadly if used in 'non competitive' fighting as well. How?
Watch the video above and imagine being thrown in the street?
In MMA and UFC you may have the chance to 'tapout' after being thrown on the mat!
Most people today only see Olympic standard judo, the true movement in a throw is to lift and drive your enemies spine into their head as you slam them hard to the floor. Now watch that video again!
Gruesome!
Judo is excellent for self defence. Competitions depend upon the rules of the event.

Examples of chapters!
Chapter 1: Hajime!
"This is a vernacular of colliding and twisting torsos, of sweeping legs and whipping wrists, of assertations written in the air with flying bodies."
Judo is an extraordinary form of combat practiced worldwide but scarcely understood outside its own circle. This is the story of its evolution from the ancient martial art of jiujitsu practiced by the samurai in Japan, to a modern Olympic sport.
2: Beginner's Luck
"As a beginner I was at first much alarmed by the prospect of training with black belts. I soon learned that they were the safest opponents of all and the people who I should really steer clear of were the beginners who were boney, clumsy and furiously keen- which is to say people who were just like me."
The first of a series of personal observations and anecdotes by the author who, quite late in life, took up the sport and found himself learning and training alongside international players in the place where judo began in Britain.
3: To Walk the Talk
"If there is some chemical compound called aggression sluicing around our systems, and it is A Bad Thing, then surely we need to have some way of disposing of this hazzard before it starts burning holes in the fabric of society? In fact we have a number of methods; one of them is called sport."
The nature and origins of combat sport examined... their social function... comparisons with other kinds of sports... the 'attack and defense" form of movement'... fighting as a form of language, a conversation, an argument.
4: The Crucible
"Because his job, and indeed his life, depended on it, it was in the interest of every samurai to study well the art of fighting and over the next three hundred years they developed more than twenty forms. Among them was jiujitsu which they developed so that they could survive in battle if disarmed."
Origins of unarmed combat... the military imperative in feudal Japan... how the samurai developed jiujitsu for the battlefield... the proliferation of jiujitsu schools... the fall of the old dynasty and the dawn of the new enlightened Meiji period... the disarming of the samurai and the closure of many of their martial arts schools.
