Judo's Unfortunate Ground Fighting State

[Treebranch]

Check out the way Dave Camarillo goes from throws to submissions and notice how he keeps his back straight after the throw so that it would be very difficult for the guy on the ground to attack from there.

That guy looks pretty solid! Watching the throws into the submissions like that, does make them look quite effective. Is the uke trying to resist, though? Or is he playing for the commercial?

Check out some his competitions on Youtube. He's older now, but when he was competing he was no joke. He beat Eddie Bravo in competition. It's great to see someone that knows Judo that well go master BJJ too. To me that's a really well rounded grappler.

Very nice. I'd agree that putting the two together would be a nice mix. The ability of Judoka to break balance and sense and feel movement while standing would go so well with the BJJer's ability to do this on the ground. I imagine he has a pretty high level of sensitivity perception.
