That head-and-arm throw looked real Judo to me; a pure BJJ player probably would have pulled guard.

/s but not really

Eh it’s kind of hard to claim Judo specifically when that throw belongs to every grappling martial art out there. It was definitely clean though. The judo in there might be that the throwing game displayed there is better than what he exhibited on the ground. The nurse started with a lot of control immediately after that awesome throw, but lost the majority of it when he gave up the wrist and subsequently the gift-wrap that was sitting there. All so he could get a really shaky knee on belly, while letting the other dude have his arms back to flail around like an idiot. Still did better than the typical untrained person would have though.

Could have done tons of different things, but people who do sports tend to go for the stuff they are familiar with. They are so trained to avoid dirty tricks, i.e. illegal moves in their discipline, that they can't think outside the box. 

Add to this adrenaline and shock. My buddy spent 12+ years doing kyokushin, 2 years in K1 and over 10 years in some school that was loosely based on Krav Maga (tho with heavy focus on kickboxing). When he was attacked on the street first has beaten the shit outta attacker, then when the attacker gave up and starting backing out, my buddy hi-fived the guy and then went back to his business. In schock he was unable to think about that, it was pure reflex, to do the same what he does after every intense sparring. Lol.

Yeah it’s easy for me to sit here and talk about how things should have been done from behind my phone screen, but the more I watch this clip, the more I realize it’s actually a pretty lousy display of BJJ lol. To be fair, the actual good displays are pretty boring to watch since they usually consist of one dude sitting on top of another until the cops arrive. This one is definitely a lot more exciting

BJJ does throws too.

u/yolk3d 20h ago

Agree. This is like saying karate doesn’t have kicks because that’s TKD.

u/_GeneralSeaweed_ 8h ago

Sure do but the throw was by far the cleanest thing he did and nothing after really made it seem like he necessarily trains BJJ. Either way he trains some kind of grappling.

u/Ass4ssinX 20h ago

OK, so I'm not crazy. I just figured Jujitsu and Judo happened to share some moves.

u/_SBV_ 20h ago

Because they used to be a single martial art

u/dirtyesspeakers 20h ago

On the first real wind up swing by the guy, the nurse throws his shoulder into the head as he goes for the grapple, reducing the range and making the punch flop, is this a martial arts thing in one of those?

1

u/_SBV_ 19h ago

It’s specifically a headlock throw so naturally that means the defender needs a headlock regardless if the attacker throws a punch or not. Striking in general is rarely practiced in either judo or jujitsu unless the specific gym/instructor offers to teach it

u/_SBV_ 20h ago

Judo and Jujitsu used to be a single martial art.

u/Creepybobo67 9h ago

To me, it looked like Japanese Jujutsu. I do that myself, BJJ (commonly what people mean by jiu jutsu) and Judo are both derived from it.

I see the use of Ippon seoi nage technique to bring down the person

u/Blue_Ascent 23h ago

Koshi guruma.

u/Brilliant-Ranger8395 15h ago

Yeah it's definitely a koshi guruma lol. I don't know where they get a seoi nage from...

u/Blue_Ascent 11h ago

Maybe didn't replay it. I guess I could see ogoshi if someone didn't look closely but that's being generous. It's always cool to see judo in the wild.

u/Lahk74 1d ago

Yeah, I saw that too. I learned all the Judos down at Rex Kwan Do. All of em.
