what kind of Judo am i learning?
is it Kodokan or Sport or Combat or Olympic?
i doubt very much its Combat
we're not striking & there's no weps
it doesn't seem special
i wish it was Combat cuz i feel it would be more street practical
how can you tell which kind of Judo you're learning?
isn't Judo Judo?
sensei DID say it was Kodokan
but i can't differentiate between them
i shoulda took BJJ
their moves DO seem more sophisticated & faster to pick up
6mth BJJ white belt taps out Judo black belt is what i hear @ times
altho not often
but u almos never hear 6mnth Judo white belt tap out BJJ black belt
BJJ is more sophisticated but i'll stick w/ my useless non practical Judo
whichever one i'm learning
If you are learning judo you are learning judo. It can be used for sport. It is an Olympic sport. The Kodokan is the central or most important organizational structure for all judo in Japan. All judo leads back to the Kodokan. BJJ leads back to the Kodokan. Neither is more "sophisticated than the other. They basically are the same. They may have different principles as for as applications. Judo is thought of as more throwing. BJJ is though of as more fighting on the ground. Both do both, but more time is generally spent doing one over the other. BJJ may do more joint locks earlier in their training. Joint locks weren't allowed in judo until brown and black belt. Although some school may different for their classes. It depends on the instructors. I've met instructors that teach joint locks sooner, but they are allowed in tournaments until brown. My instructor allowed me and a few others at green belt to compete against brown and black belts. Therefore we had to know how to do joint cocks and counters. I know instructor for judo that spend more time on ground techniques than the do on throwing. I had one instructor who was a medal winner in the Olympics that did not teach self defense applications of judo, but my first instructor taught self defense applications to us early in our training. I saw kata demonstrating self defense applications. This was done by black belts at large events like nationals or junior nationals or state championships. It really depends on the individual instructors as to what is being taught in every form of martial arts.

Judo, or the Way of Gentleness, an ideal form of physical exercise and a reliable system, of self-defense, was specially created from traditional Japanese martial arts. This book by the creator of Kodokan judo is uniquely comprehensive and the most authoritative guide to this martial art ever published. Over a hundred years ago Jigoro Kano mastered swordsmanship and hand-to-hand combat. Failing to discover any underlying principle, he set about designing a new martial art to reflect the concept of maximum efficiency in the use of physical and mental energy. Today, the concepts and techniques of judo taught at the Kodokan are the ones originally devised by their creator and collected together in this book. Covering everything from the fundamental techniques to prearranged formal exercises for both men and women, the book offers detailed explanations of how techniques are combined in two types of practice: randori (free practice) and kata (the practice of forms). In addition to a discussion of traditional methods of resuscitation, the book concludes with a useful appendix of information on the founder and the Kodokan International Judo Center, and a glossary of judo terminology. Fully illustrated throughout, Kodokan Judo will help students and instructors everywhere to discover the principles, techniques, and spirit of this popular martial art.
