What are the most effective judo throws to use for MMA. Specifically stuff you can use without a gi and the mma gloves on.

Also, I would think Ta Otoshi (spelling?) would work, but haven't seen it.
fedor does it quite a bit too. oh and sakurai!blanko said:not many "judo" Mma fighters have "thrown" their oppents very often. THey do however use the trips very well. The only person i have seen that uses "throws" on a consistant basis in Kayro.
That's not true at all. In MMA, many of the throws that are executed trip or attack the leg(s) of the opponent in some way. In Greco, you are expressly forbidden from attacking the legs of the opponent in any manner whatsoever. Truth be told, there are not a lot of guys doing Greco throws in MMA. People mistake takedowns from the clinch, no matter if the legs are attacked, as being Greco Roman technique. People frequently compliment Randy on his Greco takedowns, but I can only think of a handful of times he has taken someone down in a true Greco manner. Most of the time he employs leg trips or reaps or single/double legs. None of those techniques are legal in Greco, so it's safer to say he gets his takedown expertise from his time wrestling in high school and college (folkstyle wrestling).JustSomeGuy said:More of a mix of Greco Roman and Judo altered to work.
That is soto makikomi in judo. I've never seen it in MMA, but seems to me like one of the throws best suited for it. It also can do damage iwhen you land on top of the guy. To get it, it would have to be used from the clinch when the guy tries to pull his head out.hockeyfacekilla said:when you are in the clinch, i always do this spin, grab the arm near the elbow, and drop into them causing them to flip over me. i love this move and have seen a few judo guys do this.
