Adapting Judo throws for Jiu-Jitsu involves understanding the unique rules and demands of the sport, especially for mature practitioners.

Unlike Judo, where throws are scored based on their amplitude and impact, Jiu-Jitsu awards points for control post-takedown.

This distinction is critical for grapplers over 40 who need to minimize risk while maximizing efficiency.

Focus on throws that keep you in a dominant position, like O-soto-gari and Sasae-tsurikomi-ashi.

These techniques allow you to maintain control and transition smoothly into ground positions.

Drilling these throws repetitively and incorporating live flow rolling helps develop the necessary muscle memory and timing for safe execution.

By expanding your repertoire to include a variety of Judo throws adapted for Jiu-Jitsu, you increase your options and reduce the need to force techniques.

This approach not only enhances your effectiveness on the mat but also ensures that you can continue practicing Jiu-Jitsu safely and effectively as you age.

And remember, when you learn one technique you know one technique.
When you learn a concept you know a thousand techniques.

See you on the flipside. - Larry Keith
