Strengths: The good side of Judo's very limiting rules is that it forces Judoka to assume an upright grappling stance, which transitions very well to MMA.

 

On the ground it is a mixed bag for Judoka. Under the current rule set competitors can get away with very little ground grappling ability, but some Judoka do excel in this area. Generally speaking all Judoka are versed in pins and have good, heavy top pressure when working from the top.

Pretty basic but good guide to the non judoka imo.

Good post.

Stats don't lie..

and I didn't try. 

here's one benefit they didn't happen to mention. Speed and power. HUGE!lol

It's pretty important I think and I don't think as relative as many seem to believe.

Can your typical bjjer develop this? Not the same as judoka imo.

Especially power in the core band, I have found this to be highly developed in Judo

I think so too, and core in this case reflects as much on out as any other similar sport but I think in just as much more in the brain part. Reflex might be similar but not with the opportunity judo offers imo.

In how CK refers to the complexity of measuring judoka for instance. I think this goes well beyond wrestlers or boxers. Not just tech but game as well. Game more than anything really.

I think that the failure of judoka to own mma is more a stat on the social aspect of judo and mma.  Speed and strength diminish more than endurance (ala newaza) but that there is more than enuff time for judoka to develop a greater game for newaza over the longer haul. Not a necessity at all really tho in 3 - 5 minute matches but that's argumentative.lol

I do understand, from what I see from you, you agree somewhat. Just chat.
