Depends on the technique you use. If you understand that a real street fight with adult is a serious and potentially life threatening event (and you should treat fights as life threatening or you shouldn't be fighting), then you should be aggressive and use an appropriate technique. I've used hip throws a couple of times in real fights. Threw the guys hard right onto their backs. It's a fight stopper. In any real fight, unless you have a Duty to Act (meaning it's your job to arrest or detain the person), you shoul be looking for an escape then run away. A solid throw usually allows that, IME. It usually knocks the wind right out of someone and stuns them pretty hard creating an opportunity to escape.

I'v recently restarted Judo after doing it for maybe a year as a kid but me and my friends have been disagreeing about teh merits of it. I say it would obviously be an advantage in a street fight as it improves you're balance, grip and grappling strength as well as adding various techniques such as throw and submissions etc, i mean i'm a big guy but i got easily threw around at practise by people that werent even trying. They are trying to say taht it is useless because if you go into a fight looking for a throw you will more than likely be caught by a punch and get smashed.

Do you think Judo is a good weapon to have in a street fight?

If you are good at it, if you suck it might not work as well.

If the other guy has some training, you might have a problem. The main weakness is lack of striking.

Judo/Muay Thai is an ideal combination. I don't think most people need the detailed ground game that BJJ provides for the "street".

You should do what you like and what you show talent for over something that you are slow to learn.

If you have a knack for Judo and like it, do it. If you don't, find something else you are better at and like more.

Judo is great for self defense ts. A judoka generally has good balance, scrambing ability and tough as f; all of which are beneficial in a fight. Hit a dude with a simple osoto can end a fight real quick

Judo learn you crippeling throws and good takedown defense so you can keep it standing. If it goes to the ground the judoka will usually end up on top, very important in a street fight.

I think it's important to remember that we are TRAINING which means building up your athleticism just as much as technique. It's well agreed that Judo makes you freakishly strong that only wrestlers may beat. So how can Judo not be effective in a street fight?

When I was training I felt like I could take a swing with a bat and shrug it off. Probably not exactly true, but I sure felt good!

- Get new friends.

Or try to get in a fight, and when your friends get involved, you run away and let then get their ass kicked.
When they ask why you did that, you can say that you thought that they could fight.

It's effective against bums but against anyone who semi-knows what he's doing, if you only have Judo you're liable to get KTFO

boxing + wrestling = ideal street defence

Chanel says judo is ineffective.

 

[Clinchster]

Any form of fighting is better than no form of fighting. I don't want to sound ignorant, but striking is generally a basic thing. Anyone knows how to punch, but few know how to throw and submit.
Plus, probably like 90% of street fights end up on the ground in the end anyway, so of course Judo would help.

I wouldn't be so quick to say "anyone knows how to punch." You'd be surprised how many people flail their arms in an attempt to do so. Saying anyone can punch is like some guy grabbing your neck in an awful guillotine attempt and saying he knows how to choke people....My opinion anyways.

 

[whougonnacall]

Its got basic subs as well as throws too

A few years back there was ad for Judo classes
not to far from where I was living, I wish I'd have
taken it.

Not worried about getting into street fights it just
sounds fun.

Go find some concrete, do a front flip and land straight on your back.

If it hurt, the answer of judo's effectiveness should be obvious.

I'd rather do a front flip than let somebody throw me in explosive manner on concrete, maybe land on top etc...
