Is Khabib a Judo guy ?

[migeru29]

According to his father he wanted Khabib to be a judo gold medallist and when looking at his father's gym it seems that they mainly practice Judo? I know he's also a sambo expert but it seems that be started when he was a teen. BTW his manager email is alijudo@gmail so that's a hint there

He competed in judo tournaments for a long time in his youth so yeah.

 

[Frankie Baby!]

Judo tends to be a fairly big part of sambo and I'm fairly sure that Khabib has competed in judo at times in his life. Fedor competed on the international level in judo (which is obviously much more internationally competitive than sambo).

 

[Frankie Baby!]

Yeah Khabib the Jiu Jitsu master

Khabib has legit skills in all grappling based arts. But that Ground and Pound is A-Level... Just needs some more boxing and he might never lose.

 

[PEDS Help me Post]

Judo is a major component of Sambo, which was created by Judo black belts and mixed with other arts in the 1920s

Other top sambo practitioners are also accomplished judokas such as Fedor and Minakov.

Doesn't sambo take a bunch of judo moves anyway? Basically we can thank samurai on a tiny island most of the world didn't know existed for a shitload of modern combat systems.

As for Khabibi, I mean you don't get much cleaner reaps than his clinic on Dos Anjos.

The pioneers of sambo were Viktor Spiridonov and Vasili Oshchepkov. Oshchepkov died in prison as a result of the Great Purge after being accused of being a Japanese spy.[3] Oshchepkov spent several years living in Japan and training in judo under its founder Jigoro Kano.

Lifted from Wiki.

He started in wrestling and it's obvious he has a very wrestling oriented style of sambo.

 

[GreatSaintGuillotine]

Yeah Khabib the Jiu Jitsu master

He competed against several high level BJJ practitioners in NAGA and won. He also trains with Rockhold who has won multiple IBJJF tournament and Leandro Vieira who won several checkmat tournaments.

He spends plenty of time on BJJ so he's well versed there as well. Not master but still quite skilled.

 

[Chain Saw]

Yeah Khabib the Jiu Jitsu master

He won 2 no gi BJJ championships in 2012.

 

[olimpicus]

Yeah Khabib the Jiu Jitsu master

i bet he would do great in a BJJ tournament

He's a judo guy then like Aldo was a Jiu jitsu guy.

 

[TriangleMonkey]

I dont think people realize how much “Judo” is used in modern Jitz and wrestling. Im not talking about most the hip-tosses that dont work against anyone with abit of knowledge, but the philosophies of balance, unbalancing, controlling, the push/pull, the pins and pinning, and of course the finishing.

 

[Russ82]

Yeah Khabib the Jiu Jitsu master
