Traditional moves like “Morote Gari,” a type of double leg takedown have essentially stopped being taught since it does not apply to sport Judo.

This eliminates a host of other options like arm drags that are common in grappling. Restricted Grips – judokas are required to use “standard” gripping for any grips over 5 seconds, which essentially means same-side grips for both judokas.Let’s take a quick look at some of the changes that have happened over time that cause some issues in creating a good transfer of standing skills from Judo to jiu-jitsu.

However, if we examine how wrestling and Judo each work, we can set up a framework to understand how skills transfer from Judo and wrestling to jiu-jitsu and try to make an educated guess on how to best add takedowns from each martial art to jiu-jitsu. Wrestling and Judo Have Different Grappling RulesetsīJJ, wrestling, and Judo have fundamentally different goals and rulesets so there will not be a one-to-one value transfer training in either wrestling or Judo for jiu-jitsu. Let’s take a look at some of the key points for both wrestling and Judo style takedowns and see how each would fit in the context of jiu-jitsu so that you can make your own training decisions in regards to adding takedowns from either discipline. Wrestling takedowns are better than Judo takedowns to supplement your BJJ training since it is comparatively easier to execute the basics and less risky to execute in the context of jiu-jitsu competitions and training. In order to fill that gap, many athletes including myself look to fill in the gaps with training in either wrestling or Judo, but which style of takedown works best in BJJ? If you are like many other Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu athletes and have developed your BJJ game pretty much absent any training of takedowns, you are not alone.
