Hello lads, today I want to talk about a few things.
First and foremost I would like to give you an update on my book.
So the release date will be somewhere in the first quarter of 2019.
What I'm doing right now is that I'm basically reading through all the chapters, adding some information, adding some footnotes etc.
Then I'm gonna add some last thoughts and then the introduction chapter.
So the book is soon complete and I thought to make this video because the last chapter I proof read and edited was the one on martial arts, and then I thought I don't know if I have actually elaborated upon this in a video.
So then I thought today's video might be that, along with said update that yes, the book is coming along.
I think it will be really good.
I think it will be very well received.
Then obviously, we have worked quite a bit with Jutonhem Nutrition and LIGI Gloria, so follow the Instagram for respective brand below so that you can stay tuned on the updates.
So yeah, some good stuff are coming in the next few days, the next week, for Jutonem Nutrition, and I am and I am looking at an option for to ship for all of Europe.
So we have some whey banana with Stevia, because I know some people don't like Aspatam, and also some new clothes from Legio Gloria.
But enough about that.
Check out the links in the description.
So the topic at hand, judo for street fighting and self-defense.
Now the point here I want to make is that you don't really see all too much judo in MA, and that is because it's not particularly effective if you compare it to how effective it is in an altercation that might arise in the main streets of the chaotic cities of Western Europe or Americas.
So the point here is that, first and foremost, if you look at an MMA match, they're beginning, you know, a few meters separated.
An altercation on the street can start you being just a few decimeters from your opponent.
Now, in Judo, obviously you want to be able to grab your opponent as soon as possible, and especially if the opponent is not well versed in any martial arts at all.
So that's the first step that it's much easier to initiate in a predicament that can arise in industry than it is in an MMA fight.
The second part is that Judo, you obviously train with a gi, and that translates much better into clothing such as jackets etc.
Whereas it does not translate equally well to an MMA fight where you can't grab the clothes.
Same thing goes with Brazilian jiu-jitsu, for that matter.
So that's also something to keep in mind.
And then lastly, and perhaps most importantly, if you compare the getting thrown on a soft training mat versus getting thrown on a pavement and I can, I will admit that before I trained some judo myself, we had it as a compliment to a Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
Shout out To Warchief Shawnee in Ireland.
Great guy.
I hope you are well.
So anyway, I didn't really think much of it before I trained, but then getting thrown a few times on said soft training mat, yeah, it's not particularly pleasant.
And imagine then that you're throwing someone with the same force upon a pavement.
Yeah, you can definitely break someone's rib, you can definitely cause severe damage to an opponent.
So those aspects, in my humble view, makes Yudo much better in an altercation on the street than it does in MMA.
And then obviously this is true for wrestling as well.
If you want to pick someone up and slam them to the ground, it will be more effective on the street.
And then also you will have clothes, etc.
So it will be easier to throw people.
So that was just my video for the day.
So if you're thinking about starting some sort of martial art, but the only thing you have at hand is Yudo, it's an absolutely legitimate martial arts to start.
Because as I said, it can be very effective in self-defense.
And then also, lastly, a thing that you might want to keep in mind when it comes to the legal side of things.
It doesn't look as bad throwing someone as it does punching someone if there is a surveillance camera, etc.
