My pleasure. I love judo and martial arts in general so I've been very happy of helping you. Good luck!

hey, you've been a great help. I am looking forward to taking up judo, I have been doing boxing for a few years, I wish I had all the time in the world to train all aspects of the fighting arts, but judo and boxing are pretty good anyway.

Actually, all judo schools teach ne waza. It is part of the program to do to change belt. It begins very basic, just the first immobilizations, to move on chokes and more technical stuff.

would most judo schools teach ne waza then?

fullmontis (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

I don't know wrestling so I can't tell. Ne waza teaches the basics of ground fighting: immobilizations, locks and chokes. BJJ uses this principles, and amplies them and adds also kicks and punches. It's more effective on the ground. But to me knowing Ne Waza is more than enough.

thanks a million, sorry, another questions have come to mind. What about wrestling compared to judo and would Ne waza and bjj have the same principals?

take me down to the paradise city

BJJ only studies grappling on the ground, Judo is more about throws. There is Ne waza in Judo that is fighting on the ground, but BJJ is more technical on this kind of fighting. BJJ is good, but alone it isn't useful. You need to integrate it with something else. Judo is more complete and powerful and I prefer it to BJJ.
